Full description

The Shadow of City Hall Ghost Tour invites you to step into the mystical heart of Milwaukee, where the ordinary and the otherworldly intertwine in a chilling dance. This immersive tour takes you on a journey through the city's rich history, punctuated by ghostly encounters and unexplained phenomena.

Sample Itinerary:

  • Pabst Theatre: Built in 1895 by famous Milwaukee beer baron Frederick Pabst, the theater was the setting for at least one wake. Former director Franz Kirchner's body was laid in state on stage in 1919. However, its Pabst who is thought to haunt the theater and several other buildings around town as well.
  • Milwaukee City Hall: Once the tallest building in the city, this height had a dark side, attracting the suicidal for miles around. From 1929 to 1940, 7 people jumped from the upper floors into open atrium, crashing to the floor below. Hear their sad stories and related reports of a possible residual haunting.
  • Pfister Hotel: The most well-known haunt in Milwaukee hosts the rich and famous as well as visiting sports teams. Major League Baseball players have reported a wide range of paranormal activity including object manipulation, electrical anomalies, and at least one apparition.
  • Hilton Garden Inn: The Hilton Garden Inn in the historic Loyalty Building is built on the site of a Newhall House, destroyed by a deadly hotel fire in 1883. The employees of past businesses on the site had their own ghost stories. Now staff and guests report ghostly experiences throughout the hotel, especially rooms 201 and 326.
  • Safe House: Since 1966, the Safe House has provided a unique secret agent themed bar and restaurant. Besides the secret passageways, sight gags, and spy movie memorabilia, are museum quality exhibits of real Cold War history like a cell door from an infamous KGB/Stasi Communist-era prison and a piece of the Berlin Wall. Perhaps the powerful energy absorbed by one of these storied items can explain the strange occurrences experienced there over the years.
  • Newsroom Pub: This opulent setting with its hundred-year-old-bar and stained glass partitioned dining room became the headquarters of the Milwaukee Press Club in 2000. Above the bar is a curious, glass-enclosed shrine of the Milwaukee Press Club mascot with an occult history. Who or what is Anubis?
