American Ghost Walks

Status: active as of 2026-09-09

Also known as: Madison Ghost Walks, American Hauntings, Huberty LLC

American Ghost Walks is operating under Huberty LLC, doing business as American Ghost Walks. Its current site sells bookable tours across 10+ destinations; the Wisconsin registry shows that the LLC was previously named American Hauntings LLC, became delinquent twice, and was restored to good standing on January 15, 2026. Current marketing claims should be read as time-bounded: the company's own 2023 Shark Tank announcement described a smaller footprint of 25 locations across seven states and Puerto Rico.

What we could not verify

  • The bounded Wayback query was rate-limited in this pass, so this batch uses dated official company material and registry chronology rather than claiming a complete archived-page diff.
  • Post-show deal closing was not independently established from a primary closing document.
