Description
From the shadowy alleys near Cloud Gate to the infamous sites tied to H.H. Holmes and John Dillinger, the Ghosts of Chicago tour pulls you into the blood-stained pages of the city’s history.
This 90-minute all-ages walking tour blends chilling folklore with true crime, historical tragedy, and the supernatural. Learn the story of the Hull House demon baby, the legend that terrified Little Italy in 1913. Hear of the lingering souls from the Eastland Disaster, where over 800 perished in one of America’s deadliest shipwrecks—right in the Chicago River.
We’ll revisit the reign of terror brought by America’s first serial killer, H.H. Holmes, and the eerie hauntings that continue beneath the post office where his Murder Castle once stood. You’ll walk through Congress Plaza, considered one of the most haunted hotels in the country, and peer into the mystery of the Couch mausoleum in Lincoln Park—a former cemetery still rumored to shelter the dead.
As you walk the city’s modern streets, you’ll discover how close the past really is. Whether it’s ghosts from the Fort Dearborn Massacre, or the blue-tinted specter seen running the alley where John Dillinger died, this tour weaves together Chicago’s violent, fascinating history with tales of those who refuse to be forgotten.
This tour is perfect for ghost story lovers, history buffs, and curious travelers who want to experience a darker—and often hidden—side of the Windy City.
