We are Chicago's only paranormal investigation tour, and Chicago's oldest ghost and hauntings tours, founded by Ursula Bielski, Chicago's 35 year paranormal researcher and investigator. Like Ursula, all of our guides are all real investigators and true Chicagoans. We love investigating, we love Chicago history, and we would love to show you Chicago's haunted history. This is the only tour which takes you out of the downtown area and into one of the most haunted parts of Chicago: Lincoln Park, the old City Cemetery, which was ravaged by the Great Fire of 1871, leaving 10,000 graves behind. The bodies are all still here, as well as the ghosts. The tour also visits the site of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the site of Suicide Bridge, where more than 100 desperate souls lost their lives.
Guests will participate in a haunted history tour and ongoing paranormal investigation of Chicago's Lincoln Park, one of the city's oldest and most notorious areas, featuring a haunted Zoo, the abandoned and destroyed City Cemetery, the site of Suicide Bridge, and the site of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
Just who is in the Couch Museum? They're still not sure, but we've got a ghost story for you!
Just how many bodies were left under the zoo when they abandoned moving the old City Cemetery? That's what makes it so haunted.

Tony was our tour guide and from the very beginning he and what he offered us was amazing! He is crazy knowledgeable, and he is so compelling when he tells his stories. It was such an amazing experience, very affordable, and I absolutely want to do this again with everyone!!! We went with 7 people and it was a really good size, not too big or small for the experience. I almost wish it was longer, but walking like that for more than 2 hours could be overwhelming haha! Thank you for everything, Tony, you were absolutely wonderful!
Love this so much what an awesome way to spend a birthday! 🎉Thank you for celebrating with us and for the kind words about Tony, we’ll make sure he sees this. We’re glad your group size and the investigation vibe felt just right We’d be thrilled to haunt Lincoln Park with you again anytime!
We had an amazing time on our tour with Tony! Even though we are native Chicago residents, Tony had so many facts and tidbits that we did not know about our own city! One thing I appreciate about this tour is that even though it talks about ghosts, everything is based on true historical facts and stories about Chicago. Tony is amazing!
Tony is definitely loaded with knowledge about Chicago and it pleases us to know you had an amazing time!
Our tour guide, Joanne, was so well-informed on Chicago’s history. The ghost hunting tools brought the tour to another level.
Thanks for joining us! Joanne’s the real deal Chicago history and ghost hunting all in one. Glad the spirits showed up for you! 👻
This tour was great! My cousin and I had a blast walking around Lincoln Park at night learning the ghost stories rooted in the city’s history. The EMF readers were a plus, and our guide Tony was friendly, informative, and engaging!
We love to hear it! Tony always keeps things spooky and smart glad you two had fun exploring Lincoln Park’s haunted side with us.
Great walking tour with extremely knowledgeable guide. Lots of fun history to learn a lot about Chicago's history while seeing the city life. We had perfect weather for the nighttime tour, but if you’re going at night in fall/winter, be sure to bring layers and wear good walking shoes.
We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Chicago’s history with our guide and great tip about dressing for the season. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
