Overview

Millennium Park is home to some of Chicago’s most cherished museums, sculpture, and greenery. It’s also the perfect place for an evening of ghost stories. Chicago has been burned down and rebuilt, and rebuilt all over again. Which makes these ghost stories the best way to see this city for what it truly is: a place haunted by itself and what it once was. Tales of massacres, disasters, demon children, and Dillinger await you.
