Your supernatural adventure will begin when you board a comfortable, luxury coach. Your 3-hour bus tour will be fully narrated by a paranormal expert who will make several stops throughout the city so that you can experience Chicago’s haunted places firsthand. 

Start by exploring the stunning Congress Plaza Hotel. Originally built in the late 1800s, this hotel is notoriously known for its haunted history. Rumor has it that several spirits roam the halls of the Congress Plaza Hotel including infamous mobster, Al Capone! This is also the sport where America’s first serial killer, H.H. Holmes, would lure potential victims back to his ‘Murder Castle’. 

Listen to even more spooky stories as you pass through Chicago's original Millionaire's Row, Prairie Avenue. Below this neighborhood’s charming and beautiful architecture lies a dark past filled with secrets and scandals. As you pass by the historic Glessner House, keep your eyes open for ghostly figures passing by its windows. 

You’ll feel goosebumps cover your body as you visit the only building that remains standing on the old 1893 Fairgrounds in Chicago’s Jackson Park. Hear bone chilling stories about America’s first serial killer and see the former site of his infamous Murder Castle. Legend has it that H.H. Holmes designed the house himself and included malicious details such as soundproofed rooms, body chutes, a crematorium, and more. 

After a day of exploring Chicago’s sinister past, you’ll never see the city the same way again!
