Few roads in the world rival the super-haunted reputation of Chicago's Archer Avenue, home to some of the city's most legendary ghost stories, including the most famous Vanishing Hitchhiker on earth, Resurrection Mary. This road was constructed by poor Irish immigrants --builders of the controversial and ill-funded Illinois & Michigan Canal-- who laid down the road over an ancient Indian trail known for its spiritual powers. The slavelike conditions of their labor, their deaths from hunger, thirst, disease and violence: all live on in the deep folklore of this storied region.  

This tour is open to all ages, but you may also BYOB on this very special tour. Please no hard coolers.

$30 per person.  Two pickups: Clark and Ohio, Chicago, 1pm.  Chet's Melody Lounge, Summit, Illinois, 2pm.  Hosted by Nichole Shanahan.
