Sam was a great tour guide. Doing it at night made it especially spooky. I also just really enjoyed learning about the history of the building and its ties to Al Capone.

It was a fun experience, wished I had the chance to do the 3.0! I’m slightly skeptical but I believe there’s slight haunting.. they did play it up to entertain you… but it’s such a historical site that I believe there is some energy. Apparently O’Conner was there with us that day

Thank you for the great review! As somewhat of a skeptic myself, it's been quite interesting experiencing all the paranormal things that I have in my 4+ years of working there. O'Connor does tend to take a liking to the ladies. Very unfortunate that you're unable to do the 3.0! We do have another one with some spots still available on October 29th, if you're in the area. A unique experience like no other. You can sign up on hangmantours.com. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you next time! Cheers.

Kirsten did a nice job of telling the stories of Shaker's history. If you are sensitive at all to cigar smoke it will burn your eyes if you're not used to it. You might want to wait outside after checking in. Overall it was a fun tour!
