American Ghost Walks – Various dates and times through October 31
Here are three choices to explore Milwaukee’s paranormal history. “The Bloody Third Ward Ghost Walk” offers a nostalgic stroll through the charming art district, once a rough and mysterious 19th century ghetto known as the “Bloody Third.” “Shadow Of City Hall Ghost Walk” presents downtown in a whole new light with spooky stories of the city. Learn why the Pfister Hotel is as notorious with Major League Baseball players as it is with paranormal investigators, why your eyes might be drawn upward when visiting City Hall, which bar has a 121-year-old mummified cat as a mascot, and the identity of the ghost that might be sitting next to you at the Pabst Theater, among other stories. “The Brady Street Ghost Walk” presents saints and sinners of real ghost stories from history and from local businesses who have shared their experiences

Murder Generation Livestream 7 p.m.
Stir crazy? Need to blow the carbon out? Milwaukee punk trio Murder Generation rips it up live from The Ring.
Don Juan & The Pawnshop Gigolos @ The Baaree (105 S. Main St.
Thiensville), 6 p.m.
As indefatigable as they come, Matt “MF” Tyner performs solo, in duos, trios and with his band Don Juan & the Gigolos. Dig in for what might be the season’s last installment of music in the Baaree—a Nepalese word which means “garden.” The space is a hybrid concept that brings together aspects of a traditional German beer garden with elements of a community garden.
