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.

Our local guides tell the true history behind each haunting โ€” the Civil War casualties, the theater ghosts, and the quiet tragedies tucked behind the Circle City's stately facades. 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.

Ghost City Tours brings the same researched, storytelling-first approach that has made us a trusted name in haunted history since 2012 to Indiana's capital. Book your Indianapolis ghost tour today and discover the restless side of the Circle City.
