Overview

Nightly Spirits’ Haunts and Hooligans Tour will illustrate Chicago’s haunted history of secret parlors, underground tunnels, murderous movie theaters and supernatural speakeasies. Whether you’re a recent transplant to Chicago or have lived among the Windy City’s ‘others’ for years, you’re about to get a haunted history that may leave you with more memories than you dare to retain.
 
Tours begin at the haunted Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse in downtown Chicago. A costumed guide will lead tour goers on a walking journey exploring the creepy past of one of Chicago’s most famous bootleggers, offering glimpses into the past and revealing the stories of long-dead phantoms and specters who still call Chicago home.

Katie was an amazing guide!

My friends and I went on the Haunts and Hooligans Tour in October as a pre-Halloween activity, but I truly believe that this tour can be taken any time. Our tour guide, Katie, was amazing and really made the tour feel personalized. It was so interesting learning about the history of Chicago and what spirits are said to remain.

Historic and interesting. Kept my attention which is the equivalent to a toddler’s attention span. 😄

Katie was FANTASTIC! I was on a trip and dragged a bunch of my friends on a ghost tour. Katie was more than we could ask for, informative, witty and friendly. Thanks for a great time. I’ll be back to take the haunted bar tour with her!
