Milwaukee Ghost Tour

This tourist enclave has borne witness to unprecedented violence and to countless tragedies and misdeeds. Mishaps born out of mischief at every corner, every one of our stops is teeming with authentic stories of perdition, mayhem, and melancholy. The Brew City ghost tour is heavily researched and based on facts — from periodicals, history books, recorded accounts of hauntings and documented ghost sightings.

Human consciousness has an effect on our surroundings — what we think, fear, and believe in resonates and leaves traces. What does this have to do with a ghost tour? Ghost tours create feedback loops. The initial entity grows bolder and gains more energy with each tour group. The more you give it nutrition the more likely it will manifest. The ghost becomes more rambunctious, more willing to take a bite.

Milwaukee, thanks to its distinctive history and trade, is synonymous with beer. If you like a cold brew, then without a doubt, Milwaukee is your cup of tea — or pint of lager. Nevertheless, after so many visits to iconic breweries, and countless hours on tours that highlight some of this great city’s achievements, you need something a bit different. You require something that makes your heart jump at the seams and crash against your chest.

Like penny dreadfuls of old, Milwaukee’s history is rife with bloodshed. It is possessed by something otherworldly. Once the lights go down, and its history is dragged out of the shadows, something wicked begins to stir in Milwaukee’s soul.

This is not the Milwaukee the brochure told you off. Our brave guides will take you into the heart of darkness and madness that is Brew City and lead you through a harrowing, fascinating, frightening, exciting adventure. Sick and tired of all those dull guides and traditional tours? The ones that seem to slide by with the bare minimum? Our experienced guides will take you on an experience you will never forget. They are the polar opposite of traditional. Get ready to scream, to laugh, maybe even shed a tear.

“Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year, and spends very little on office supplies.” — Woody Allen.

From Breweries at war to Sicilian families enacting scenes from The Godfather — Wisconsin has seen it all. This state, for some unknown reason, has drawn in some of the worst of mankind. From beer magnates and titans of industry hellbent on making a profit to mobsters adding countless crimes to their list of misdeeds – regardless of how many bodies they leave in their wake. — But serial killers. Men driven by something else. If you’re a fan of the dark, of the seedy, the reproachful, and the tantalizing, Milwaukee is your kind of town. Get behind the scenes details not shown in the history books.

Danger is the ultimate aphrodisiac — want a man or dame to fall for you, how about a night full of frights, scares and fun? The brain processes over 11 million bits of information per second, and science has long ago concluded that due to its wiring it likes to highlight bits that have to do with danger. There’s a reason why everyone falls in love with the bad boys. Why we can’t escape relationships with an underlying element of danger to them. Why girls like James Bond and Edward from Twilight, and boys go gonzo for Harley Quinn and Catwoman. Our brains are just tweaked that way. A study showed that dates with a bit of danger, even something natural as catching a scary movie at a multiplex, are more sexually charged than others. Fine dining is great, expensive wine is even better — but nothing riles your hormones more than a good fun scare.

There’s a reason why the “whodunit” is the oldest genre/theme in literary history — we like to plat amateur detective. There’s nothing better than curling up with a good Sherlock Holmes, or the latest Dan Brown, or trying to figure out who is under the slasher mask. It’s embedded in our DNA. Get’s the blood pumping, the adrenaline spiking, our hearts thumbing with anticipation. At every stop we’ll tell you the inside scoop, with all the grizzly details, and unmask, like meddling kids, the culprit. We’ll remove the cause, but not the symptom. Some of us like our stories, like we like our steaks, bloody and rare..
