Full description
The Wind & Souls Tour is a chilling 90-minute adults-only walking tour that uncovers Chicago’s most infamous hauntings—where tragedy, history, and performance collide.
Begin at the iconic Chicago Theatre and follow a path lined with paranormal history, including the site of America’s deadliest theater fire at the former Iroquois Theatre—now the James M. Nederlander Theatre. As you wind through Millennium Park, past the Cultural Center and the Art Institute, your guide will reveal tales of forgotten cemeteries, lost mayors, phantom librarians, haunted hotel rooms, and garments haunted by centuries of sorrow.
You’ll confront the ghost of Captain Louis Ostheim in the infamous Room 441 at the Congress Plaza Hotel, wander the alley where 602 people perished in fire and panic, and learn how H.H. Holmes’s victims may still haunt a post office basement built atop his murder castle. And you’ll end your journey beneath the surface—at the Exchequer Restaurant, once a Capone-era speakeasy where the gangster’s ghost may still roam the tunnels beneath Wabash Avenue.
This is a raw, theatrical, and deeply atmospheric ghost tour made for those who enjoy history served with a shiver.
