Chicago Hauntings Original Ghost Bus Tour

Overview

Often imitated but never matched, this 3 hour ghost bus tour with stops remains the "Best of Chicago" since its founding 23 years ago by the city's ghostlorist, Ursula Bielski. Ursula and her team of veteran paranormal researchers and historians have thrilled thousands of guests with firsthand experiences of this, one of the world's most legendarily notorious cities. We take you where the other walking tours simply can't--to the many shadowed corners where the fateful tales began. From the Fort Dearborn Massacre to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. From the Great Chicago Fire to the Eastland Disaster. From ghost ships that sail Lake Michigan to the Chicago origins of "Ghostbusters" And to the lair of the Devil Baby of Hull House.

this is the 3rd tour with this company i have been on. i took my daughter for her birthday and she loved it she is a big history buff and she likes true crime so this tour was right up her alley. tony was our guide and he is not short of details. any question we had he was quick to know the answer. he had personal experiences he shared with the group. he also had ghost hunting tools that he shared with the group as well. i will be booking again.
