Wind and Souls an Adults Only Ghost Tour in Chicago
Description
Leave the little ones at home and step into the shadows for a spine-chilling evening designed exclusively for adults. Not all spirits in Chicago are content to rest in peace—and not all hauntings are friendly. On our Wind & Souls: Adults-Only Ghost Tour, we’ll peel back the veil of the city’s darker past to reveal the sinister specters that still lurk in its alleyways, abandoned buildings, and forgotten corners. These are the tormented souls of murderers, madmen, and those who met their end in the most tragic of ways. This tour isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll hear about the cursed, the vengeful, and the downright malevolent spirits whose presence still chills the air and unsettles the soul. Wind & Souls is a mature, adults-only experience, featuring explicit historical details, strong language, and unsettling true stories pulled from the shadowy depths of Chicago’s haunted past.

My wife and I had an incredible time on the Wind and Souls Adults Only Ghost Tour in Chicago! The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an excellent job blending Chicago's fascinating history with its eerie legends and ghost stories. The adults-only format made for a more immersive experience, allowing for deeper storytelling and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The tour moved at a comfortable pace, covered some of Chicago's most iconic haunted locations, and kept our group entertained from start to finish. Even if you're skeptical of ghost stories, the historical details alone make this tour worthwhile. If you're looking for a fun, unique, and memorable evening in Chicago, we recommend Ghost City Tours' Wind and Souls Adults Only Ghost Tour. It was one of the highlights of our visit to the city!
Austin was a great story teller. They made the gruesome history entertaining and I learned quite a bit.
Did not find very informative or entertaining. Our guide was nice but didn’t feel like a good experience like other tours I’ve done. Nothing specifically bad but just not good.
Fun experience! A rainy and windy night, but our guide made up for it with exuberance and charm!
We showed up ten minutes early, waiting 15 minutes passed the start time in freezing cold, and never got any updates or messages from the tour guide. They never showed up, and even customerservice couldnt get hold of them, very disappointing as my party was looking forward to this.
Great time with John C on the Winds and Souls haunted tour. Great stories of Chicago's history as well as many great views of Chicag's buildings at night.
I had such a great time walking around the city learning new things! Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and fun!
The weather was great for a walking tour! the guide was very knowledgeable, great history about Chicago but really wanted more ghost stories. Mostly stories of disasters, not hauntings. Crowd was a decent size, split us into two groups. Don't go if you're not up for walking.
Joe was a great storyteller who kept us engaged with his stories of mayhem. He spoken loudly enough and kept the group together so that everyone could hear and always invited us to ask questions. I appreciated that the stories weren’t heavy on the gangster side, but more on the disasters and supernatural as there are enough gangster tours to take to compliment these tours. I would recommend Joe and seek him out again for other tours.
Joe did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. There were just a few times when we couldn’t hear him, but given that it was outside and he was at times competing with traffic and train noises, he did great!
