Highlights

Leave the little ones at home and step into the shadows for a spine-chilling evening designed exclusively for adults. Not all spirits in Chicago are content to rest in peace—and not all hauntings are friendly. On our Wind & Souls: Adults-Only Ghost Tour, we’ll peel back the veil of the city’s darker past to reveal the sinister specters that still lurk in its alleyways, abandoned buildings, and forgotten corners. These are the tormented souls of murderers, madmen, and those who met their end in the most tragic of ways. This tour isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll hear about the cursed, the vengeful, and the downright malevolent spirits whose presence still chills the air and unsettles the soul. Wind & Souls is a mature, adults-only experience, featuring explicit historical details, strong language, and unsettling true stories pulled from the shadowy depths of Chicago’s haunted past.

About Chicago

Chicago is a Great Lakes city on Lake Michigan, famed for skyscraper architecture, deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz and a long lakefront of parks.

Chicago rebuilt itself after the fire of 1871 and became the cradle of the skyscraper. The Chicago River runs through the Loop, where tall towers rise, and boat tours explain the architecture from the water. Millennium Park's mirrored Cloud Gate sculpture, known as the Bean, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with its Impressionist paintings, are close together. Willis Tower has a glass-floored observation deck.

Top-ranked sights in Chicago: Navy Pier, Wrigley Building, The Magnificent Mile.
