Milwaukee's original haunted history walking tour introduces you to the unique heritage of the Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Third Ward, dubbed “The Bloody Third” in 1846, is a charming arts district today but conceals a violent gangster past. Once home to Milwaukee’s mafia operations and, before that, Irish gangsters, known as the Third Ward Cowboys, its streets have been touched by tragedy and the paranormal. Expect to learn more about paranormal happenings and ghost sightings at the Skylight Opera Theatre, the Italian Community Center, and MIAD, as well as many other lesser-known locations. Ghosts stories with Third Ward connections including supernatural encounters at the Hilton Garden Inn and the Pfister Hotel.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this ghost walk? Can kids join?

A: There isn’t a strict age limit, but it's recommended for ages 12 and up since some stories can be intense. If you’re thinking of taking younger kids, maybe check with the tour provider first to see if it’s appropriate. They might enjoy the spooky tales but could get scared!

Q: What should I wear for the Milwaukee Ghost Walk? Any tips?

A: Dress comfortably! The tour involves a good amount of walking, and Milwaukee can get chilly at night, so layers are a good idea. I’d recommend wearing good walking shoes and maybe bring a light jacket just in case. You might also wanna carry a flashlight for those darker corners!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour? Is it canceled?

A: The ghost walk usually goes on rain or shine! They’ll provide ponchos if it’s light rain, but if it’s really bad, they might reschedule. It’s best to check with them the day before or the morning of your tour for updates.
