About This Tour

A narrated coach tour from Chicago Hauntings, the company Ursula Bielski founded. It reaches what the walking tours can’t: the Eastland and Death Alley downtown, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre site, Hull-House’s Devil Baby, and the story of Resurrection Mary. It’s the pick for anyone who wants Chicago’s ghost stories without the walking. The company notes the bus isn’t wheelchair-friendly.

Places This Tour Covers

The 1856 Hull mansion's brick front and columned porch on Halsted Street

House

Hull-House

In 1913, a rumor spread that Jane Addams' Hull-House was harboring a 'Devil Baby', and the museum there today says the house is often considered one of Chicago's most haunted sites.

A crowd in the snow outside the Clark Street garage as the victims' bodies are brought out, February 14, 1929

Other

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Site

Seven men were machine-gunned against a garage wall here on February 14, 1929, and though the garage came down in 1967, dogs are said to react to the spot and the wall's scattered bricks to carry a curse.

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

Cemetery

Couch Tomb

Thousands of bodies may never have left Lincoln Park's old City Cemetery, and by the 1880s, its last standing tomb 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.

The Eastland lying on its side in the Chicago River in July 1915, beside the wharf

Other

Eastland Disaster Memorial

The steamer Eastland sank in the river here on July 24, 1915, killing 844 people, and Chicago's ghost guides say faces still show in the water below the Clark Street Bridge.

Theater

Nederlander Theatre

The Broadway house on Randolph Street stands where 602 people died in the 1903 Iroquois Theatre fire, and locals still call the alley behind it Death Alley.

Cemetery

Resurrection Cemetery

Since 1936, men have told of dancing with a young woman who asks for a ride home along Archer Avenue and vanishes at these cemetery gates: Resurrection Mary, known as Chicago's most famous ghost.
