Det här är inte bara en spöktur, det är en berättelsedriven promenad genom ett av Chicagos mest hemsökta landskap, där verklig historia och lokal legend kolliderar.
Till skillnad från turer som enbart förlitar sig på hoppskräck eller folklore, har denna upplevelse sina rötter i verkliga händelser – från den bortglömda kyrkogården under Lincoln Park till de förödande bränder, katastrofer och tragedier som formade staden. Varje stopp kopplar samman dokumenterad historia med rapporterad paranormal aktivitet, vilket ger berättelserna tyngd, sammanhang och trovärdighet.
Kontrasten ligger helt inom Lincoln Park, ett av Chicagos vackraste områden, och är en del av det som gör det oförglömligt: du kommer att gå genom natursköna stigar och fridfulla vyer samtidigt som du avslöjar det mörka förflutna gömt precis under dina fötter.
En blandning av berättande, humor och atmosfär, känns denna turné mindre som en föreläsning, och mer som att kliva in i Chicagos förflutna när det tyst kommer tillbaka till livet omkring dig.

20 min
Café Brauer ser fridfullt ut, men i detta område har man sett några av Chicagos mörkaste historia. Gängvåld, dödliga katastrofer och masstragedier utvecklades i närheten.
Vissa tror att platser som denna håller fast vid den energin. Och många besökare säger att de känner det - en oförklarlig kyla, som något kvardröjande precis utom synhåll.
20 min
Denna djurpark är hem för hundratals djur...
men det kan också vara hem för tusentals döda.
Efter inbördeskriget var detta område en kyrkogård. Staden försökte flytta kropparna - men många lämnades kvar. Vissa uppskattningar säger att upp till 10 000 personer fortfarande finns kvar under dina fötter.
Sedan svepte den stora Chicagobranden igenom, förstörde gravmarkörer och raderade identiteter, lämnade de döda omärkta och bortglömda.
Under årens lopp har besökare och personal rapporterat om märkliga iakttagelser – figurer i gammaldags kläder, skuggiga former och en orubblig känsla av att något inte står rätt till.
20 min
Denna staty hedrar en hjälte från inbördeskriget och USA:s president, men här är något som de flesta inte vet: Ulysses S. Grant trodde på det övernaturliga.
Han påstod sig en gång ha upplevt visioner om sin egen framtid långt innan han kom till makten. Och passande nog står hans monument i ett av Chicagos mest hemsökta områden. 1892 rullade en plötslig storm in och folk samlades här för att söka skydd. Sedan träffade en blixt statyn.
Tre personer dödades omedelbart...
20 min
Men ibland är de mest oroande platserna de som inte är hemsökta, för härifrån kan du se allt som är.
Djurparken. Parken. Marken där tusentals begravdes, där tragedin utvecklades, där berättelser vägrar att blekna.
Både författare och besökare har hämtat inspiration från denna utsikt, eftersom det inte bara är en skyline... det är en påminnelse om allt som kom tidigare.

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.

Thank you for joining us, and Joe, in Chicago. We really appreciate it and hope that the rest of your time in town was just as much fun!

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.
