Dark Tales of Bucktown A Self-Guided Chicago Tour
Bucktown has a knack for keeping secrets - and most of them are deeply unsettling. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll hear the true stories behind the neighborhood's murders, hauntings, and disappearances, encountering a real-life fugitive, the ghost of a pub owner who still tends bar, and a winged creature with red eyes spotted across Chicago. Starting at the former Lincoln Tavern, where a 1980 robbery ended in multiple murders, you'll pass the spot where a 12-year-old boy was killed by a train in 1902. You will see where residents still report signs of his presence, and walk by the only Opus Dei-operated church in the country. The tour ends at Club Lucky, where three bullet holes still visible in the bar mark the spot where a Polish immigrant named Walter met his unfortunate end in January 1967. Sweet dreams.
