HAUNTED BY HOLMES: Imitated
by many, THIS is the original three hour excursion to the places
and spaces made word-famous by Erik Larson's phenomenal best-seller,
The Devil in the White City.
Our tour guides includes Holmes experts regularly sought out by TV
producers and true crime authors for their expertise. We'll revisit
19th century Chicago in an extended, intriguing trip to the 1893
Columbian Exposition fairgrounds, inclduing the ghost-ridden Museum of
Science and Industry, the Jackson Park Lagoon, and the Midway
Plaisance. We'll travel through Prairie Avenue - home to Chicago's
Victorian-era rich and famous. We'll explore the site of the notorious
"murder castle." Afterwards, we'll steady our nerves in an atmospheric
- and haunted - Victorian-era tavern. Wear comfortable shoes and
warm clothing, and bring a poncho or umbrella (in case of rain) for our
walk through Jackson Park to the Wooded Islandd. For more information, visit our Holmes tour site by clicking here! For reservations, click here.

Available for Private Tours/ New Public Dates Coming Soon Haunted Chinatown is an exploration of the cuisine and supernatural side of
Chinatown, including its secret underpinnings as an Indian burial
ground, its seedy groundings in the crimes of the Levee vice district,
and its ties to the ghost of Al Capone himself. During the
excursion, you'll get a chance to explore the neighborhood on foot,
including a walk down the most haunted block in Chicago, where it is
reported that every single building is infested with poltergeists.
$35 per person includes lunch, guided walking tour of
Chinatown, time for shopping on Wentworth Avenue,and wrap-up at a
haunted tavern (cash bar).
Chicago's
ghostlore is riddled with religious wraiths. Tales of cloven-hooved
strangers, winged wanderers, and--famously--the spawn of the Devil
himself. Come along on a spiritual journey as we explore the saintly
and the sinister among some of the city's most cherished tales. We'll
tell of Julia Buccola Petta, the sainted Italian Bride, whose body was
miraculously preserved after a tragic young death. We'll hear of the
night Satan came to dance with the young girls of Bridgeport--and of
the literal mark he left behind. We'll revisit the supernatural life of
Father Arnold Damen, and hear how he may have divinely influenced the
Great Chicago Fire--and how he still haunts the church and school he
founded. We'll
view the church where more than 200 parishoners claimed to witness a
demon approach the altar one night to receive Holy Communion--an event
published in the Chicago Tribune, and you'll hear how the Juvenile
Courts are haunted by one of the most influential bishops Chicago has
ever known. We'll visit one of the most haunted houses in Chicago,
cradle of the Rosemary's Baby story, and you'll be stunned at what
stands today on the birth site of the founder of the Church of Satan
himself, Anton LaVey. For reservations, click here. OR CALL 888- GHOST-91

The Chicago Hauntings Ghost Tours are conducted aboard the city's only
"Ghost Bus," and each lasts approximately 2.5 hours, visiting an array
of authenticated haunted sites throughout the city. This is not
just a driving tour where you'll ride for hours and simply look
out the windows of the bus. Rather, we depart the bus several
times throughout each tour at some of Chicago's most actively haunted
sites, inviting guests to investigate a particular haunted Chicago
location for themselves.
Below, Ursula Bielski and a Chicago Hauntings guest enjoy the tour.

HAUNTINGS
of ARCHER AVENUE:
Resurrection Mary & Beyond
Sunday, July 14, 2013
1-6pm
Hosted by Ursula Bielski with Special Guests
Few
roads in the world rival the super-haunted reputation of Chicago's
Archer Avenue, home to some of the city's most legendary ghost stories,
including the most famous Vanishing Hitchhiker on earth, Resurrection
Mary. This road was constructed by poor Irish immigrants --builders of
the controversial and ill-funded Illinois & Michigan Canal-- who
laid down the road over an ancient Indian trail known for its spiritual
powers. The slavelike conditions of their labor, their deaths from
hunger, thirst, disease and violence: all live on in the deep folklore
of this storied region. We'll visit the Back of the Yards neighborhood,
home to Mary Bregovy, believed by many to have been the ill-fated
phantom in life, pass her home on South Damen Avenue--and the funeral
home where her body lay--, continue to Summit, Illinois, the hometown
of little Ana Norkus, killed on the eve of her thirteenth birthday, who
many claim as the ghost in question. We'll visit the cemeteries of
Archer Road, look for the ghost light of Maple Lake, and hear of the
secrets of Red Gate Woods. Finally, we'll lift a Bloody Mary and share
some sustenance at Chet's Melody Lounge, across from the gates of
Resurrection Cemetery, where Mary herself is said to have sought
shelter one blustery winter's night.
We don't provide an itinerary because we like to vary the
routes, and also because we like to throw in a few surprises. But
among the more popular locations we visit include
the Fort Dearborn Massacre site, Iroquois Theater &
Death Alley, the Eastland
Disaster site, haunted Streeterville, the death site of Resurrection
Mary, Hull House, Harpo Studios, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre
site, the abandoned City Cemetery, H.H. Holmes' "glass bending
factory," the Tonic Room, The Biograph, and many others -- some
notorious, some not as well-known - but but all researched and
documented for their authenticity by the Chicago Hauntings team.
We know you'll enjoy them.
We can never guarantee any of the sites on the tour will
produce an active supernatural occurrence -- nor can we guarantee
they won't. So be warned: strange things have occurred on our tours in
the past! See our gallery of possible ghost pictures taken on the tours!
