Dies ist nicht nur eine Geistertour, es ist ein Geschichten-getriebener Spaziergang durch eine der gespenstischsten Landschaften Chicagos, wo echte Geschichte und lokale Legende aufeinanderprallen.
Im Gegensatz zu Touren, die sich ausschließlich auf Sprungschreck oder Folklore stützen, wurzelt dieses Erlebnis in wahren Ereignissen – vom vergessenen Friedhof unter dem Lincoln Park bis zu den verheerenden Bränden, Katastrophen und Tragödien, die die Stadt prägten. Jede Station verbindet dokumentierte Geschichte mit berichteten paranormalen Aktivitäten und verleiht den Geschichten Gewicht, Kontext und Glaubwürdigkeit.
Ganz im Lincoln Park gelegen, einer der schönsten Gegenden Chicagos, ist der Kontrast ein Teil dessen, was ihn unvergesslich macht: Sie werden durch malerische Pfade und friedliche Ausblicke gehen, während Sie die dunkle Vergangenheit entdecken, die direkt unter Ihren Füßen verborgen ist.
Diese Tour ist eine Mischung aus Geschichtenerzählen, Humor und Atmosphäre und fühlt sich weniger wie ein Vortrag an, sondern eher wie ein Schritt in die Vergangenheit Chicagos, während sie ruhig wieder zum Leben erwacht.

Reiseverlauf
20 Min
Das Café Brauer sieht friedlich aus, aber diese Gegend hat einige der dunkelsten Geschichte Chicagos gesehen. In der Nähe ereigneten sich Bandengewalt, tödliche Katastrophen und Massentragödien.
Manche glauben, Orte wie dieser halten an dieser Energie fest. Und viele Besucher sagen, dass sie es fühlen - eine unerklärliche Kälte, wie etwas, das gerade außer Sichtweite bleibt.
20 Min
In diesem Zoo leben Hunderte von Tieren...
Aber es könnte auch die Heimat von Tausenden von Toten sein.
Nach dem Bürgerkrieg war dieses Gebiet ein Friedhof. Die Stadt versuchte, die Leichen umzusiedeln - aber viele wurden zurückgelassen. Einige Schätzungen sagen, dass immer noch bis zu 10.000 Menschen unter Ihren Füßen bleiben.
Dann fegte das Große Chicagoer Feuer durch, zerstörte Grabmale und löschte Identitäten, ließ die Toten unmarkiert und vergessen.
Im Laufe der Jahre berichteten Besucher und Mitarbeiter von seltsamen Sichtungen – Gestalten in altmodischer Kleidung, schattige Formen und ein unerschütterliches Gefühl, dass etwas nicht stimmt.
20 Min
Diese Statue ehrt einen Bürgerkriegshelden und US-Präsidenten, aber eines wissen die meisten nicht: Ulysses S. Grant glaubte an das Übernatürliche.
Er behauptete einmal, Visionen von seiner eigenen Zukunft erlebt zu haben, lange bevor er an die Macht kam. Und passenderweise steht sein Denkmal in einer der gespenstischsten Gegenden Chicagos. 1892 zog ein plötzlicher Sturm auf, und die Menschen versammelten sich genau hier, um Unterschlupf zu finden. Dann schlug ein Blitz in die Statue ein.
Drei Menschen wurden sofort getötet...
20 Min
Aber manchmal sind die beunruhigendsten Orte die, die nicht heimgesucht werden, denn von hier aus kann man alles sehen, was ist.
Der Zoo. Der Park. Der Boden, wo Tausende begraben wurden, wo sich Tragödien abspielten, wo Geschichten nicht verblassen.
Schriftsteller und Besucher haben sich von dieser Aussicht inspirieren lassen, denn es ist nicht nur eine Skyline... es erinnert an alles, was vorher kam.

They cancelled last minute
Bad! They cancelled with about an hours notice and I didn’t see the email until we got there. We were disappointed and couldn’t reschedule for something else.

Joe turned a one star situation into a five star tour.
Loved Joe. He was great. Would have given a much lower star score if he hadn’t been so great. Really rough start. He was told to meet at the bean and we were told to meet at the fountain. We sent messages, left a voicemail and even ran to the next site to see if we could find the group. It was a ROUGH start. But he was personable, entertaining and knowledgeable. He really really turned a bad situation around and I hope he is appreciated.
Not a scary tour. My daughter was nervous, but really not overly scary. Just cool information.

UNghostly slightly boring tour
Worst ghostly tour in Chicago. The tour guide was super nice and energetic but that didn’t make up for the fact that she was 25 minutes late and her stories, though mildly interesting, were not scary or ghostly at all. It was really awkward… everyone in my group was rolling eyes and embarrassed for her and … bored.

Fun for the family even with kiddos under 10
Amazing and informative. I went with my 8 and 5 yrs old sons. My eldest was fully engaged, and my youngest had moments of listening to the information/stories and other times in awww by the scenery (where we stopped to listen). Overall I recommend it as it’s a great way to listen to ghost stories, learn about Chicago and sightsee areas at night

Great family experience to walk and learn about the city
Mike was a great guide. My son asked so many questions and he was patient and gave great responses. Plus, the facts were family friendly and appropriate considering the ages of my boys (7 and 11).

Hoped for more :(
I appreciated our tour guides and hope this information is helpful. With that being said, I am disappointed with this tour. I've been on many ghost and crime experiences in Chicago/in cities all over the country and I just felt this did not compare. It started off strong but I feel all of the other stories were lacking in historical details and actual ghost stories. Though it's totally valid to have your own beliefs, our tour guide mentioning multiple times that he didn't believe in ghosts and that he did this just for the money didn't really help create a fun environment. He also asked people in our group questions about why we believed in ghosts and then fully ignored us when we tried to answer the questions.
It felt like at times the guests of the tour were guiding the group because nobody was taking charge/didn't know which way they wanted to go. Lastly, there were two people training in our group, I totally understand they need to get out there and that it won't be perfect (fully support that!!). However, they were given two of the most famous and important stories on the tour and it just didn't seem like a wise choice as those are the ones we were looking forward to hearing more about (and the information was lacking). Hopefully this doesn't seem too dramatic but with the price of this tour it did not seem worth it.
