Thirteen years after our "ghost bus" pulled out into the Chicago night for the first time, Chicago Hauntings Tours continue to be known as Chicago's most authentic and researched ghost and dark history tours, standing head and shoulders above the abundant knock-offs, "alternative" "strange" tours and "free tours" that seem to be everywhere these days, when you can get a ghost tour and a cupcake tour from the same company. A cupcake tour? Yes, really.
Founded and directed by Ursula Bielski, 30 year paranormal researcher and author of ten books on Chicago ghostlore and the paranormal, we are not merely a tour company but a natural extension of Chicago Hauntings, Inc. a paranormal research organization dedicated to uncovering and sharing Chicago's paranormal history.
Unlike other companies, who hire career tour guides to lead their tours, our tours are led by Ursula and her partner, David Cowan, author of To Sleep with the Angels (on the tragic Our Lady of Angels school fire) and Great Chicago Fires, as well as Clarenece Goodman, popular Chicago historian and avid lecturer at Chicago libraries.
We are not only native Chicagoans from the North, West and South sides, respectively, but we are also astute Chicago historians with a passion for Chicago and veterans in paranormal theory and research. Chicago Hauntings has even designed tours for the City of Chicago, the Chicago History Museum and haunted Lincoln Park Zoo, and we hosted "The Hauntings of Chicago" on PBS Chicago's WYCC.
