Ghostly Private Tour of Madison

Overview

You'll visit Lake Monona and the summer house and retreat Monona Terrace, designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Listen to stories about Bozho, the Lake Monona beast who first took canoers unawares over 150 years ago. Soak up the lake views as you visit the spot where Old Madison jail used to be and hear stories of the inmates who were so scared of the apparitions they saw they begged to move cells. You'll pass by a nightclub whose previous neighbour was a funeral parlour, which spooked many band members and nightclub workers.

Starting your tour at Wisconsin Capitol Building, your guide will tell you of its history and how a tragic fire in 1904 resulted in the death of several workmen who are still seen to this day. The beautiful old Majestic theatre is next on the list and is where ghosts, so real are seen they're often mistaken for people.

Your private tour ends at the Orpheum Theatre, haunted and eerie it's where many sightings and hauntings have been noted.

Lisa was a really good tour guide, she was very knowledgeable and knew her history. My son and I really enjoyed it. The Reservations were for 3 people and 1 person had to work and couldn't come so I was wanting to know if I could get a refund on 1 of the tickets and how to go about doing it.

Lisa was a great host. She showed up ready to go and had the right attitude and demeanor to make us feel comfortable. She did good with pausing for questions making sure to steer her answers towards continuing the tour. She also had to contend with a fire works display and instead of fighting it leaned in taking a short detour to see a spot where we could see four different municipal displays of fireworks. Lots of awesome local lore and not too hard on my feet, which was nice because I am not in the best of shape. Will be coming back!
