Ready to get spooked? Sign up for a tour with Chicago Hauntings to celebrate Halloween this year, and you’ll be in for a real treat (or should we say lots of tricks?). This company is a Chicago favorite that’s been around now for two decades telling the haunted history of our fair city. Now, sometimes with ghost tours you never know if what you’re being told is true, but with Chicago Hauntings, you know you’re getting the most legit spooky stories around. That’s because the owner is actually a veteran paranormal researcher who has dedicated his life to exploring and exposing Chicago’s most haunted places. He’s even written a few books about our city’s haunted past, and this tour company is an extension of his research.

The signature tour has you hopping on a spooky bus ride that takes you on a three-hour journey to active supernatural hot spots in the city. You’ll stop at locations like the Hancock Building (the inspiration for Ghostbusters), the original city cemetery, the Hull House, and many more. Grab your tickets soon because they do sell out around Halloween time.
