   10 min

3. Rochambo has been part of Brady Street’s bohemian scene for decades, but employees have reported more than just caffeine-fueled energy inside. Staff have described missing objects that reappear, flickering lights, and footsteps or voices upstairs when no one else is there.

   10 min

4. This Brady Street restaurant has produced some of the tour’s creepiest modern ghost stories. Staff have reported a mysterious older woman appearing on security footage, drinking glasses shattering by themselves, shadow figures in mirrors, and even a black-eyed girl vanishing from the dining room.

   Passes by

6. St. Hedwig’s Church is one of Brady Street’s most recognizable landmarks, with a history tied to Polish Catholic tradition, saints, relics, and miracles. One story tells of a massive bell weight crashing through the church during a crowded anniversary service — yet somehow no one was hurt.Did a miracle happen here in the late Nineteenth Century?

   10 min

7. Teachers and staff at Tamarack Waldorf School have reported footsteps, slamming doors, strange noises, and uneasy feelings when working alone in the building. Some stories even include reports of an apparition seen in a basement mirror.

   10 min

8. This stop connects Brady Street to one of the strangest chapters in Wisconsin religious folklore: Catholic exorcism history. A doctor associated with this address helped promote the famous Begone Satan account, a story of possession that influenced some of the most memorable imagery in The Exorcist.

   10 min

9. This former firehouse area has a tragic story of a young firefighter who reportedly died after falling down the hose tower. Nearby Hosed on Brady has its own ghost stories, including sounds of children playing, pool balls breaking after hours, jukeboxes turning on, and shadowy figures appearing during closing time.

   10 min

10. This building was once the John I. Suminski Funeral Home, which operated on Brady Street for about a century. Even after its transformation into an escape room, the building’s long history with death gives it one of the most naturally spooky backstories on the tour.

About Milwaukee

Milwaukee is a Wisconsin city on Lake Michigan, known for its brewing past, an art museum with moving wings, lakefront festivals and fish fries.

Three rivers meet Lake Michigan at Milwaukee, on its western shore, and the city was shaped by waves of German and Polish immigrants who built its breweries, tanneries and factories. The Milwaukee Art Museum, a lakefront building by Santiago Calatrava with a huge sunshade whose wings open and close, is the city's emblem. The RiverWalk follows the Milwaukee River through downtown, past restaurants and a bronze statue of the Fonz from the sitcom Happy Days.
