Walking

About This Tour

Windy City Ghosts is US Ghost Adventures’ Chicago brand. This is its Lincoln Park ghost walk: the forgotten burial ground under the park, the Biograph where Dillinger was shot, and haunted bars like the Red Lion. It’s a straight ghost tour rather than a gangster tour with ghosts added, and it isn’t adults-only.

Places

Places This Tour Covers

Bar

Red Lion Pub

The Red Lion's 1882 building came down in 2008. Owner Colin Cordwell says its ghosts never left, among them a woman thought to have died upstairs on her 20th birthday.

The Couch family tomb, a stone vault behind an iron fence among the trees of Lincoln Park

Cemetery

Couch Tomb

When Chicago moved its old City Cemetery out of what became Lincoln Park, thousands of bodies may have been left behind. By the 1880s, the tomb that still stands there was said to hold a white ghost behind its doors.

Theater

Biograph Theater

FBI agents gunned down John Dillinger outside this Lincoln Avenue movie house in 1934, and ghost guides say a blue figure still runs for the alley beside it, stumbles, and vanishes.
