The experience

The tour starts by taking you to Spring Hill Cemetery, where you'll get off the trolley and stand at the gravesite of Belle Boyd, a Confederate spy whose story anchors the darker narrative the Dells doesn't advertise. From there, you move through the town's supposedly haunted sites: the Brat House Bar & Grille, which occupies a former church and carries stories of a little girl haunting the restroom and a Union soldier seen inside, plus other locations the guide discusses as you drive past, each one carrying details meant to unsettle.

You'll carry a ghost meter throughout, using it to search for spiritual energy at the stops where the trolley pulls over. The guide points out what to watch for, red orbs in particular, as you move through the cemetery and the buildings. An air-conditioned trolley keeps you comfortable between the outdoor investigations, and the whole arc takes 90 minutes from start to finish.
