Based on over 20 years of ghost hunting and Ursula Bielski's "Chicago Haunts" book series, Chicago Hauntings offers tours every weekend to many notorious spots such as the former site of the St. Valentines Day Massacre, Rosehill Cemetery and Archer Avenue. Several times a month, they also give special tours of various locales such as The Green Mill (gangster Al Capone's former bar), "Guns & Roses" (haunted sites from the Prohibition era) and "Haunted by Holmes" (an excursion based on the spaces mentioned in "Devil in The White City"). Reservations are recommended.
