    Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0

    4.4 (24)

    Powered by Viator

    Milwaukee, WI

    This is the deeper, more immersive version of the original Shakers Ghost Tour. Ghost Tour 2.0 moves beyond the surface—into the building’s more layered past, where decades of scandal, unanswered questions, and lingering energy begin to take shape. Designed for those who want more than storytelling, this experience invites guests to engage directly with the space itself. Participants are introduced to traditional divining rods, adding a hands-on element that shifts the experience from observation to interaction. What happens from there is part of what keeps guests coming back. Set inside a preserved 1894 building with a long and complex history, this tour blends atmosphere, tension, and participation into something that feels less like a guided experience—and more like an encounter. This is where curiosity meets discomfort. Not recommended for the faint of heart.

    Shakers Original Historical Ghost Tour

    4.7 (49)

    Powered by Viator

    Milwaukee, WI

    This tour takes you through the Shakers building itself—an experience set entirely within one of Milwaukee’s most storied and unsettling spaces. Inside a preserved 1894 structure in Walker’s Point, the building carries a past that doesn’t sit quietly. Once a cooperage, later a Prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel tied to the Capone brothers, it has long been a place where things happened behind closed doors—and didn’t always stay there. Guests move through the space room by room, where stories surface in layers—whispers of what was, and what may still be. Men have met untimely fates here. Deals were made, secrets kept, and some things were never meant to be found. Just the space, the stories, and the feeling that not everything has left. Led by experienced guides, this is not simply a ghost tour—it’s an immersion into a place where history lingers, and where the night has a way of holding onto you a little longer than expected. Not for the faint of heart.

    The Ghosts of Milwaukee & the Haunted Third Ward: Private Tour

    4.3 (4)

    Powered by Viator

    Milwaukee, WI

    Join us for a private walking ghost tour of Milwaukee’s haunted historic Third Ward. As the largest city in Wisconsin with an industrial past, it’s no surprise that the city is riddled with spectral stories, which your guide will bring to life for you! In the mid-nineteenth century, the Third Ward was more commonly called the Blood Third, where roving thugs and gangs operated in the streets. It was also home to elegant hotels, prominent businesses, and hard-working families - which made for decades of reputational clashes in the neighbourhood. In 1892, a series of fires swept across the Third Ward and the city, leaving behind eery tales of mediums having predicted the fire, of sabotage and revenge - even stories from the fire chief who was awoken in his dreams by a voice to notify him of fires before the rest of the firehouse knew. Your private spectral tour is two hours and just under two miles, suitable for people of all ages, provided that adults are present with children.
