Full description

Join this ghost tour to unlock some of Aurora's most intriguing ghost stories, including the haunted history behind its nickname, "The City of Cemeteries."

Sample Itinerary

  • Two Brothers Roundhouse: This historic, yet abandoned railroad roadhouse became a dangerous playground for neighborhood kids and a breeding ground for weird tales. According to witnesses, shadow men, a ghost train, and maybe even the devil himself have made an appearance at this storied location over the years.
  • Leland Tower: Seemingly a suicide magnet, over the years, the Leland Tower Hotel once hosted an alarmingly high number of jumpers from four counties. Now apartments, some residents claim that an unfortunate and ghostly residue lingers.
  • The Millennium Plaza Pavilion: As you walk next to the river, learn some of the tales of true crime and murder in Aurora’s history.
  • Paramount Theater: An old-time movie palace, this vintage cinema is the home of not one, but two supernaturally devoted employees. Long after their untimely deaths, Jerry and Mickey still do their best to lend a helping hand.
  • Historical Society Museum and William Tanner House: This house built in 1857 contains the Aurora Historical Society has been investigated by ghost hunters and some have seen a woman looking down the staircase.
  • Water Street Square: Located in the heart of Aurora on the Fox River, downtown Aurora and the river itself have plenty of mysterious history.
  • Root Street Cemetery: No one knows how many bodies still lie beneath the grass at Aurora's oldest public graveyard. No one knows where they lie, or even how many of them were in life.
