Your tour starts at the Chicago History Museum, a stately institution with a chilling secret. It houses the deathbed of Abraham Lincoln, and it’s said that the former president’s spirit wanders the halls. Feel the hairs on your neck stand up as you explore this historic location and hear about the spectral sightings that have been reported.

Next, you’ll venture to the Couch Tomb, the sole remaining marked grave from the Chicago Cemetery, which was tragically destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. As you stand in the shadow of this eerie monument, you’ll learn about the lost souls who are said to still wander the site, searching for their final resting place.

From there, your journey takes you to the Lincoln Park Zoo, a seemingly innocent location with a spectral history. Built on the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire, the zoo is rumored to be frequented by apparitions from Victorian times, unaware they have passed into the afterlife. As you walk its paths, keep an eye out for these spectral visitors.

Your haunting journey continues to Café Brauer, a former fine dining establishment turned speakeasy during Prohibition. The ghosts of mobsters from this era are said to inhabit the café, their spectral presence a chilling reminder of Chicago’s lawless past.

The climax of your tour is the notorious site of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, the location of the most infamous mob killing in American history. Here, echoes of machine-gun fire, screams, and the barking of dogs from yesteryear are said to still resonate.
