Special
Tours
If
you’re a bit on the fearful side, you may want to travel in
groups! Chicago Hauntings has a private tour of haunted Chicago for every taste.
HAUNTED PUB CRAWLS Be sure to join us on
one of our exclusive Chicago Hauntings pub crawls, when we visit the
"spirits" inhabiting several local drinking establishments around the
Windy City. These tours are offered as private charters and are perfect
for bachelor / bachelorette parties, birthday parties, corporate
events, or just plain fun.
These special bus tours last between three and four hours and are
narrated by our staff of tour guides, who take visitors through the
haunted history of each particular establishment.
The tour
often includes a stop at the infamous Gold Star Bar at 1755
W. Division Street, on Chicago's Near West Side. In earlier years, this
stretch of West Division Street was known as "Polish Broadway," and
featured many storefront taverns. It was here where Nelson Algren hung
out and received much of his inspiration, using the neighborhood and
its saloons as the settings in many of his stories and novels.
And
it was inside the Gold Star Bar where, one night in the 1950s, the
bartender shot and killed a would-be robber who stormed into the place
brandishing a handgun. Legend has it the Gold Star to this day is
haunted by the gunman's spirit, as well as the mysterious "Woman in
Green"
who lurks near the front doorway and inside stairway.
In
addition,
our haunted pub crawls also visit many other ghost-ridden Chicago spots, which
may include the Ole St. Andrews Inn -- where you can lift a glass with
the spirit of the former owner; the Hange Uppe, where a past bartender
took his own life and now lingers behind; the Fireside, a haunted
former roadhouse and bar across from Rosehill Cemetery in spooky
Ravenswood; the Clark Bar, a former speakeasy just steps away from
the ghost-infested site of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre;
the
Tonic Room; and many others.
All
tours vary as to time and location availability.
