Welcome To Fort Wayne's #1 Rated Ghost Tour

Experience the chilling world of Fort Wayne, a city that has yet to wipe away the most tortured chapters of its history. Venture past the walls and wonders built through centuries of pain and suffering to see what awaits on the other side of this ghastly veil. 

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Once the home of a prestigious lawyer, the Bell Mansion Event Space has been stirring rumors of ghostly activity since it opened in 2020. Could the fact that the Victorian mansion once served as a funeral parlor have anything to do with it?

For nearly a century, the decaying corpses of hundreds piled up inside this once-elegant household. Investigations into the building began almost immediately after renovations were completed. Hear about the eerie response the spirits gave the paranormal investigators when they asked, “What is your name?” 

The bone-chilling answer proved to the team that the specters of Fort Wayne’s past were as alert and awake as they were when they were alive. Hear more about this spine-chilling investigation and the evidence they captured on a heart-pounding tour with Summit City Ghosts. 

What Will I See?

Visit Fort Wayne’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:

• Embassy Theater – This 1928 theater once hosted everyone from Louis Armstrong to Tony Bennet, vaudeville to organ recitals, and many feature films. Strange aromas and intense cold spots are often sensed in the lobby, and the lights constantly flicker. Many employees say the ghost of former manager Bud Berger, who died in 1965, is still closely monitoring things around the old theater.

• The Bell Mansion – Constructed in 1884 for Civil War veteran and lawyer Robert Bell, the Bell Mansion became a funeral home in 1926, and things have been more than a little spooky ever since. Uninvited guests have been in attendance at the mansion ever since it became the Bell Mansion Event Center in 2020

• Lincoln Bank Tower – Built in 1930, the Lincoln Bank Tower was the tallest building in Indiana. It is known for its solar-themed decor, which stands in stark contrast to the building’s dark history. Locals say nearly every floor is haunted and that even those walking beneath the building aren’t safe from the menacing phantoms inside the 22-story tower. 

The Stench of Success 

From the currents of the three rivers that flow into Fort Wayne came industry, immigration, and the hustle and bustle of city life. Learn how modern inventions brought great wealth and entertainment to Summit City. However, all this innovation led to death upon death, only further incubating the spectral world that torments the living. 

The 1928 Embassy Theatre and the unexplained activity reported inside are products of these booming economic times. Those entering the theatre’s magnificent lobby often detect iron-tinged aromas reminiscent of spilled blood. Along with the intense cold spots that fill the room, it’s almost enough to make most think twice about their evening out. 

Venture past the most historic theatre in Fort Wayne, where Louis Armstrong and Tony Bennet once took the stage. Shadowy figures have been seen in the seats by frightened organ players and theatre staff closing up. They aren’t the only ones still keeping watch over the going-ons in Fort Wayne. Learn who else maintains their hold on the theater on our spine-tingling haunted Fort Wayne ghost tour tonight! 

Who Would Say Such Ghastly Things?

Tragedies created by human suffering have plagued the city since its earliest incarnation in 1794. But from these humble beginnings came great endeavors and terrible atrocities of gore and malice. Discover the terrors that lurk inside the 312-foot-tall Lincoln Bank Tower as you step beneath its imposing shadow. Once the talk of the town for its size and charming interior artwork, it now retains its status as the center of attention, but for far more terrifying reasons. 

Local lore says nearly every floor of the 1930 skyscraper is haunted by vile and restless spirits searching for closure. Listen closely while standing outside the monstrous building, and you may hear the despicable words of a particularly hateful haint. Unrelenting in his anger, he has thrown slurs and insults out the window of the 4th floor of the Lincoln Bank Tower for as long as anyone can remember. 

Does the hatred this man’s soul harbors for the living stem from one of the many unspeakable accidents here? Find out on a thrilling Fort Wayne ghost tour.

Why is Fort Wayne so Haunted?

Howlin At The Moon 

Fort Wayne and the surrounding area is a breeding ground for some of the most haunted places in Indiana. Not to mention the chilling notion that the city was home to three serial killers. Residents of the Summit City know their city’s horrid secrets and know them well. 

Journey through the streets of downtown Fort Wayne to unravel the unnerving lore that keeps many locals lying awake late into the night. Devil’s Hollow is one such legend. The burnt remnants of a house lay just north of town. Intruders into the home of an elderly woman led to the fiery destruction of her dwelling. What happened afterward, however, was even more devastating. 

Dive into this devilish tale of a witch taking up residency in the house and the performance of satanic rituals that led many to stay away from the charred remains of the building. Those who have wandered too close instantly regret it. Beware the condemned spirits trapped inside this home. They rise when the moon is full, like many others in the cursed city. Find out more about this fabled local legend on a ghost tour with Summit City Ghosts. 

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Unsettling instances of human cruelty have left a stain on Main Street in Fort Wayne. Gather underneath the statue of General Anthony Wayne, a man who nearly wiped out the entire Native population, to hear about the gruesome murders that plagued the city in the 1940s. 

Look down Main Street, and you may see the infamous Lady In White, Fort Wayne’s most ominous spirit and the remnant of “The Rain Killer’s” murderous campaign. She is known only to appear when it’s raining, as did this heinous killer. She roams Main Street, wallowing in her eternal sorrow. 

The apparition of this woman has been seen ever since 38-year-old Billie Haaga collapsed into a bloody heap on the front porch of a farmhouse. Whether she is the ghost of Haaga or one of the three victims of the Rain Killer, however, remains a mystery. 

Find out the truth behind these insidious murders and the even more confusing issue of who the killer was on a haunted ghost tour of Fort Wayne with Summit City Ghosts. 

What’s so Special About the Summit City Ghosts Tour?

See a Different Side of Fort Wayne History

Fort Wayne’s history is rooted in America’s bloody struggle for independence. Along with it came the shrouded secrecy of the Free Masons. Walk to the Masonic Temple, a noted landmark in Fort Wayne that is still an active lodge today, and learn what even many locals do not. Phantom strangers wandering the halls, searching for ancient weddings in out-of-place dress, have startled more than a few visiting Masons. 

Uncover the secrets of the masons while Summit City Ghosts introduces you to the ravenous hauntings within their fortress of solitude. Investigations have led to aggressive spirits demanding ghost hunters to leave and sudden gusts of icy wind. What tragic endings created these resentful spirits? The answers lie hidden within Fort Wayne’s haunted history.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity To Learn The Dark Truth About Johnny Appleseed

You’ve heard the familiar tale of Johnny Appleseed, the pious and gracious man who spread cheer across the land through his favorite fruit. But did you know there is a darker side to the history of this Midwestern legend? The shoeless one-man agricultural wonder put little thought into where he was planting his apple trees. 

Appleseed’s death and resting place remain a mystery to this day. Archer Cemetery, next to Johnny Appleseed Park, is a top contender, along with Worth Cabin, where it is assumed he died. A strange man wearing no shoes and a pot for a hat has been seen wandering St. Joseph’s River in search of something long left behind. Is he searching for the green earth he left behind, now tarnished by mankind’s brutality? Only Summit City Ghosts knows the answer!
