Most Chicago ghost tours are part gangster tour. Pick a Loop walk for Death Alley and the Congress, or a Lincoln Park walk or pub crawl for Dillinger’s alley and the old cemetery. Chicago Hauntings’ ghost bus reaches the far-flung stories without walking, and the river cruise shows the city from the water after dark.
