Episode 114: The Francis Leavy Handprint - a podcast by Lets Get Haunted

**SKIP TO 6:39 TO GET TO THE STORY**
100 years ago, a Chicago firefighter named Francis Leavy leaned against a window and declared, “Today is the day I am going to die.” That same evening Francis was killed when a burning building collapsed on him; However, his ghostly handprint remained on the window, unable to be removed by any means for decades. How did Francis know he was going to die that day? Why did the handprint remain? One thing we know for sure is that Francis died a hero, but remains a legend. Listen as Nat tells Aly the story of the Francis Leavy Handprint and all the theories that attempt to explain what happened!Other Important Stuff:
