Ah, midsummer…when a young woman’s fancy strays to thoughts of ghosts. Okay, maybe it’s just me. :P
Strange as it seems, as fascinated as I am by ghosts and paranormal investigation, I’ve never been on a ghost-hunting tour or joined up with any local investigative outfits. Truth be told, I’m a little wary. Of course I like to get the biggest bang for my buck, not only fright-wise, but with solid research and proper respect. But when I missed a LivingSocial deal on a ghost-hunting tour in Naperville, I thought to myself: why aren’t I out there, mixing it up amongst the supernatural?
So I turn to you, dear readers. Do you know of any decent paranormal investigation societies in the Chicago region? Or, alternately, what are the best ghost tours around the city? Ideally I stay away from “kiddie” or “too much drama” stuff, though a dark sense of humor is right up my alley. Spill your guts in the comments!

Apparently, a dude my brother went to high school with is part of a paranormal investigation group that has investigated all around the midwest. I was trying to see if my brother and I could get on an investigation with him, but there was never any follow through. Unfortunately, I don’t know any other groups and the only tours I know of are Richard Crowe and Ursula Bielski.
thanks for your input! I’ve heard of the Richard Crowe tours, but not sure I knew Ursula Bielski did them, too.
ideally I’d like to stick to Chicago, as I have no transportation. I remember running into a guy from a paranormal group in Wheaton at C2E2 last year, but yeah…hard to get to.
I’ve seen Ursula Bielski’s Chicago Hauntings Tours bus a couple times downtown; it’s basically a school bus painted completely black. It’s pretty great.
