Full description

Brian suddenly burst out from the shadows at the west side of the building, running like he was on fire. His face was stark white with fear, eyes bulging wide, and he was too far beyond terror to even scream. Brian grabbed his bike from the bottom of the pile of kids' bicycles, forcefully ripped it free from the entangling wheels and handlebars, and then took off on his bike like a rocket. Strangely, Brian refused to come to the door to tell them what had happened to him back in the shadows. Stranger still, Brian swore he would never again go back to the Aurora Roundhouse, saying only that, "The Devil's in that hole!" He never explained what he meant by that...and he never did return to play in the Roundhouse. Explore the “City of Cemeteries” with EMF ghost meters on this two-hour ghost walk tour of Aurora’s thriving downtown. Stepping silently from the railroad’s haunted, 150-year-old roundhouse to Aurora’s Riverwalk and Stolp Island, you’ll shudder at tales of shocking murders, ghastly crimes, and lost souls. Please note: Some of the stories can get graphic, so if you get scared easily, be prepared!

My brother and I went on The Resurrection Mary 4-Hour Bus Tour experience with American Ghost Walks in May 2025. Tony was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we both had a lot of fun!!! I've always been fascinated with anything Resurrection Mary so this tour was right up my alley. We got to use ghost equipment at a few places and got to stop at a cool Irish bar near the old Willowbrook Ballroom (as well as stop at Chet's Melody Lounge). The highlight was visiting Resurrection cemetery and seeing the front gates up close where Resurrection Mary bent the bars back. My mom is buried in that cemetery and my brother and I will be buried with her when our time comes. My mom and I picked that cemetery specifically because of Resurrection Mary. My mom used to dance at the old Willowbrook ballroom and loved the idea of being near there as well as going to Chet's Melody Lounge (bar) across the street. Thank you for a very fun experience!!! I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Tony. :)

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all things ghost and definitely knows his city. He was very friendly and we enjoyed our time.

It was so much fun and educational I’m not from Chicago so this told me about a lot of the history of Chicago. If I ever come back to Chicago will definitely do another.
