Full description

Embark on a 7-hour paranormal adventure led by experienced paranormal researchers. Explore historic sites, cemeteries, and more. Be prepared to step outside and do some walking, so put on your most comfortable shoes and dress according to the weather. Lunch will be served at an establishment known for its haunting atmosphere. Soft drinks are included with the meal, and a cash bar is available for those who'd like something stronger. Don't forget to bring your camera and any ghost hunting tools you may have—if not, you're welcome to use ours. The price includes the full tour, transport, and lunch. Starting with the eerie St. Mary's Church and Cemetery, known for its spooky atmosphere, we will then venture to the mysterious Cuba Road and White Cemetery, renowned for tales of ghostly cars and a phantom lady in white. Our tour will also include a visit to the Fox River Grove Accident Site, a tragic location where uncanny apparitions and sounds have been reported. We will also explore the historic Mineola Hotel, built in the late 1880s, where it's believed that the spirits of previous owners and patrons still linger. Our final stop will be The Gate in Libertyville, where according to legend, a maniac once killed several girls from a nearby school and placed their heads on the gate's spikes, which are said to reappear during every full moon. Learn the real history and the real paranormal experiences that have happened there.

I feel like the tour guide went out of her way to discredit many of the positions Eric Larsen took in his book. You’re selling a haunted tour lean into some of the stories. No one knows so talk about the murder house, allegations suggest secret hallways cremation ovens in the basement. The book was popular because of the horrors committed by Holmes. I have read everything written by Larsen and he goes to great lengths to research the subject matter in his books. The reason we went on the tour was because of his book not to speculate on the Holmes crimes
