Chicago Hauntings Ghost Tour

Fourteen years after our "ghost bus" pulled out into the Chicago night for the first time, Chicago Hauntings Tours continue to be  known as Chicago's most authentic and researched ghost and dark history tours, standing head and shoulders above the abundant  knock-offs, "alternative"  "strange" tours and "free tours" that seem to be everywhere these days, when you can get  a ghost tour and a cupcake tour from the same company.  A cupcake tour?  Yes, really.    Founded and directed by me, a 30 year paranormal researcher and author of ten books on Chicago  ghostlore and the paranormal, we are not merely a tour company but a natural  extension of Chicago Hauntings, Inc.  and the Chicago Society for Psychical Research,a paranormal research organization dedicated to uncovering  and sharing Chicago's paranormal history and investigating anomalous phenomena.  Unlike other companies,  who hire career tour guides to lead their tours, our tours are led by me and my partner, David Cowan,  author of To Sleep with the Angels (on the tragic Our Lady of Angels school fire) and Great Chicago Fires, as well a  dedicated group of avid independent historians and paranormal researchers.  We are not only native Chicagoans from the  North, West and South sides, but we are also astute Chicago historians with a passion for  Chicago and veterans in paranormal theory and research.  Chicago Hauntings has even designed tours for the City of Chicago,  the Chicago History Museum and haunted Lincoln Park Zoo, and we hosted "The Hauntings of Chicago" on  PBS Chicago's WYCC.   You can see more about all of us here. Our classic Chicago Hauntings Ghost tour is a 2.5 hour fully-narrated tour by coach bus, with numerous  stops along the tour route at some of the most actively haunted sites in Chicago, including the site of the Eastland Disaster,  where  844 souls perished on the Chicago River; Death Alley, where more than six hundred children and their chaperones lost  their lives in the worst single building fire in American history; the site of the infamous St. Valentine's Day  Massacre in storied Lincoln Park, the original and now abandoned City Cemetery, where an estimated  13,000 unmarked graves remain.  Some of our most common stops include murder sites, disaster sites, a serial killer's  body dump, a cursed skyscraeper, gangland sites, Chicago's most haunted house, and others.   You are welcome to take photos at all of our stops.  Sometimes your camera may capture more than just spooky scenery.  See the pictures? Our Devil & the White City Tour is the original H.H. Holmes Tour, begun in 2004 and copied by many companies  but never equalled.  We take you to the site of the World's Fairgrounds in Jackson Park, the Midway Plaisance, and the site of  Holmes' Englewood Murder Castle on 63rd street, as you folllow in the deadly footsteps of America's Serial Killer. Our Gothic Chicago Tour invites you to come over to the dark side of our history, as we introduce you to  ghosts, grave robbers, vampires, serial killers, assassins and more on an in-depth afternoon  excursion through Chicago's many neighborhoods.  Our Ghost Adventure Tours are full day excursions through some of Chicagoland's most haunted regions,  including Lake County, the fabeld Archer/Palos region and Chicago itself. In addition we offer seasonal specialty tours, special events and private tours for 2 to 200 people. Our field trips for students from middle school through graduate school are to die for.  We've been called "the best field trip ever" for ten years running.  Our many fans have called our tours of Chicago provocative, dark, scary and creepy,  but also intelligent, sophisticated and fun.  Many find that they're the best way to discover the city - period. Come find out for yourself!
