The Dark Shores Ghost Bus Tour!

The dunes are whispering—and the dead are restless.

Join us for the Dark Shores Ghost Tour, a chilling ~4 -hour journey into the haunted heart of Northwest Indiana. Departing from the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center in Chesterton, this immersive experience blends tragic history, ghostly legends, and hands-on paranormal investigation across some of the region’s most infamous sites.

🕯️ What Awaits You:

• Search for Diana of the Dunes, the spectral figure said to wander the shoreline, her story tangled in mystery and sorrow.
• Explore the haunted Bailey Homestead, once home to fur trader Joseph Bailly, whose legacy—and perhaps his spirit—still lingers in the shadows of this historic site.
• Chellberg Farm, just steps away, holds its own eerie energy. Guests have reported phantom footsteps, flickering lights, and the feeling of being watched among the old barns and trails.
• Descend into the Speakeasy at the Spa, where Prohibition-era secrets still echo through the walls. Once rumored to be supplied by Al Capone himself, this former bootlegging hotspot is now known for shadowy figures, cold spots, and unexplained whispers.
• Visit the site of the Woodville Train Wreck of 1906, one of Porter County’s deadliest disasters. Some say ghostly passengers still linger, waiting for a journey that never finished.
• Cross Devil’s Bridge, a remote and unsettling stretch of road where travelers report phantom figures, sudden chills, and the overwhelming sense that something is watching.
• Conduct a flashlight-led ghost hunt in a secluded cemetery, using real paranormal equipment like EMF meters and EVP recorders. In the dead of night, even the silence speaks.

And Much, Much More... We won’t spoil all the surprises, but let’s just say:

• The Brown Mansion in Chesterton has a stairwell spirit known as “Ebbie”—though no one by that name ever lived there.
• Val’s Famous Pizza isn’t just known for its grinders—it’s also home to ghostly activity in the basement, where the former owner “Diney Wallen” has reportedly been seen.
• And there are still a few haunted stops we’re keeping under wraps… for now.
