Passing by

Visit the haunts of Julia Porter Park. Built atop an old burial ground from Civil War times, the encounters that visitors experience in this park can only be explained as paranormal.

Stop 3

Passing by

The Red Lion Pub could probably give the Tonic Room a run for its money, as haunted Chicago bars go. A true homage to the pubs of merry old England, this Tudor-style pub is known for its food, its atmosphere…and its ghosts.
Biograph Theatre

Passing by

Hear the strange encounters that occurred at this haunted site, formerly the Biograph Theater built in 1914.
