From there the guide will lead you into the Chicago Loop toward the Oriental Theatre, formerly known as the Iroquois Theatre. In 1903, a horrific blaze left hundreds trapped in the burning building and the alley beside it. It is largely believed that these souls still haunt the venue, even bringing their families to a show every now and again!

Following that, you’ll trek to the South Loop’s Congress Plaza Hotel, one of the most infamous haunted hotels in the world. Here you’ll take a break and maybe hunt for a ghost or two in the lobby. Bobby advises against venturing upstairs—multiple rooms have been sealed off for a reason.

ater, the frightening ride continues down to Grant Park and Museum Campus, two of Chicago’s most iconic waterfront parks. These centuries-old spaces are vast and haunting, the perfect place to share more ghost stories… including those of H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who preyed upon visitors to Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair. Though his south-side murder castle has long been demolished, the spirits of his victims are still present all around.
