Kathi Kresol has been researching Rockford’s History for the past ten years. She shares the fascinating stories she uncovers through her website at www.hauntedrockford.com and through her tours.

Kathi’s obsession is history and she loves the opportunity to share this passion through the stories she collects. She gives all the credit for her researching skills to the Rockford Public Library’s goddesses of Local History, Jean Lythgoe and Jan Carter.

Kathi has worked at the Rockford Public Library for years and loves sharing her enthusiasm for reading any way possible. She started teaching history using ghost stories when she homeschooled her children. Kathi loved the research and the ghost stories so much, she wanted to share them with the Rockford Community. She found the perfect solution in forming Haunted Rockford Paranormal Tours. It has allowed her to work with some great people from all over Illinois and Wisconsin. Kathi feels honored that she can share the stories of the men, women, and children who settled Rockford and gave so much to create such a rich history.

Kathi’s main inspiration comes from her four remarkable children and “the guy who brings her coffee”, John. They all support her by allowing her to drag them to historical places, listening to the stories, helping her “look for dead guys”, and putting up with her absences when she disappears to research or write.
