We call ourselves the "Ultimate Tour of Chicago's Ghosts, Gangsters &
Ghouls -- But What Can You Expect from a Weird Chicago
Tour?
It's all about the offbeat and the left of
center -- the kind of things that may leave you chuckling, a little
unnerved or just scratching your head in confusion. We visit not
only the most haunted places in the city of Chicago but
we take a look at the "dark underbelly" of Chicago as
well. Our tour is
created to showcase the unusual aspects of Chicago --- and what
makes it so haunted, weird & unique! The tours are a combination
of ghosts, gangsters and things about the city that are
downright strange. We have a number of specialty tours that
cover everything from ghosts to crime and even the history of
sex in Chicago! We also feature
locations that you won't find on
any other tour! |

"It
is no longer the fashion to scoff at tales
of the supernatural. On the contrary, there
is a growing tendency to investigate
subjects which were formerly pooh-poohed by
most persons claiming to be well informed
and capable of reasoning." -
