Full description

Prepare for a spine-tingling adventure on the Chicago Ghost Hunt of Lincoln Park, the city's exclusive public ghost hunt tour.

Sample Itinerary:

Chicago History Museum: Visit the Chicago History Museum, where you can encounter the lingering spirit of Abraham Lincoln, who is said to wander its hallowed halls.
Couch Tomb: Journey to the Couch Tomb, the sole remaining marked grave from the Chicago Cemetery that fell victim to the ravages of the Great Chicago Fire.
Lincoln Park Zoo: It was built upon the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire, where apparitions from the Victorian Era continue to roam, unaware of their transition to the afterlife.
Café Brauer: Originally it was an elegant dining establishment that transformed into a speakeasy during Prohibition. Today, it's inhabited by the restless spirits of mobsters from that tumultuous era.
St. Valentine's Day Massacre: Confront the chilling history of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre site, where the echoes of machine gun fire, anguished screams, and barking dogs from a bygone era still linger, bearing witness to one of the most infamous mob killings in American history.
