About this Event
Since its inception, the Hull-House Settlement was a center of urban legends and supernatural stories, as Chicago’s neighborhoods kept alive whispers about its supposed unearthly inhabitants. Today, Hull-House is a favorite stop on Chicago ghost tours and it is often hailed as one of the most haunted places in the country. While they are spooky and fun, these stories stem from important conversations about religious beliefs and social norms, as well as the collective consciousness of the Hull-House neighborhood. They often showcase the struggles of new immigrants in the city and the gruesome conditions they faced due to capitalist exploitation. For many, Chicago was a place of great hardship, plagued by a history of tragic events that left countless ghost stories in their wake, including those of Hull-House's infamous Devil Baby and resident Lady in White.
The hour-long evening ghost tours are for visitors ages 16 and up; all guests under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian! Guests will be led through the house by a Museum Educator and will have the opportunity to learn all about Hull-House's haunted history.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your tour start time. Guests are required to wear a mask at all times during their visit. As per University of Illinois at Chicago guidelines, scarves, bandanas, and gaiters are not to be worn in the Museum as a mask. Any visitor without a mask will be provided one by JAHHM staff upon entry. If a guest must be reminded more than once to wear their mask while on-site, they will be asked to leave the Museum.
