- Windy City Ghosts - 2021 N Burling St, Chicago, IL 60614
It doesn't have to be Halloween to discover Chicago's haunted past — the tours from Windy City Ghosts take place daily, year-round — but there's no better time to visit the city's haunted bars and alleys. Meet up at Oz Park to begin your tour, which will tell the tales of gangsters, bootleggers and shipwrecks as it visits sites like the notoriously haunted Red Lion Pub and Biograph Theater. Windy City Ghosts tours begin at 8 pm nightly, rain or shine.

The beautiful Lincoln Park Zoo might not be on your list of haunted spots in Chicago, but the zoo has a surprising past.
