They call Indianapolis the Circle City for the monument at its heart, but the planned capital that Indiana laid out in 1821 has gathered nearly two centuries of tragedy along its elegant downtown streets. Ghost City Tours leads walking tours through the haunted heart of Indianapolis, past the grand monuments, century-old theaters, and historic buildings where the spirits of soldiers, performers, and everyday citizens seem reluctant to leave.

Walk the family-friendly Ghosts of Indianapolis Tour through the monuments and landmarks of historic downtown, or take the adults-only What They Took to the Grave Tour into the scandal, betrayal, and buried secrets the city hoped would stay in the ground.
