Ghost Tours of Naperville
|
This is the ghost tour consistently reviewed as, "The Best Midwest Ghost Tour." Tours run two spine-tingling hours. For the 2010 season there are two different tours available - one is a Walking Tour, the other a Trolley Tour. These tours are adults only (12 years minimum age.) Unlike a playfully-planned haunted house, these tours are about Real Ghosts - spirits that are active, restless, and waiting for… you.
