The Original Madison Ghost Walk - Capitol Square
Highlights
- A psychic did a ghost hunt in the Great Dane Pub and Brewery sponsored by a local newspaper, and said she felt the spirit of an old man in the basement break room. She said he was kind and there was nothing to worry about. But that’s not the one they call “The Spooky Room”.
- The Wisconsin State Capitol has experienced its share of tragedy, do the ghosts of the workmen who perished in a tragic 1883 accident still walk the South Wing?
- Joe, an actor who sadly ended his own life, was said to haunt the dressing room at the Majestic Theatre for years but he's not the strangest spirit that inhabits the bullding...
- Madison’s King Street is the oldest part of the city and its been entertaining the living people since the building of the Capitol in the 1850s. We invite you to learn of its secrets, scoundrels, and scares…

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.
