Detailed itinerary

1

Most of the hauntings in this historic theater are thought to be performers. It's said sometimes that once you are on stage, as an actor, you never really get off. And this seems to be the case with the past performers of Schieffelin Hall, as most of the reported hauntings are around the stage and backstage area.

2

Step into the eerie shadows of the Tombstone Marshals Office, where the echoes of the Wild West's lawless days still resonate. Here, amidst the whispers of past gunfights and ghostly apparitions, the air is thick with tales of justice and vengeance that have left an indelible mark on this haunted landmark.

3

As you guessed it, this place like all others on our tour is also haunted. Here at the Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, most of the sightings and paranormal activity centers around the basement. Listen to the stories of this haunted location and what visitors have experienced.

4
Stop 4

The O. K. Corral, oftentimes thought of as the home of the famous gunfight between the Cowboys and the Earps, the gunfight that, well...made Tombstone famous. Today, the saying goes that the Earps and Cowboys never left. Hear chilling tales of what haunts this legendary location.

Stop 5

This building here is an original building from the 1880s. During the time of its operation, rumor has it that 26 people were killed in this theater and the walls of the theater accumulated 140 bullet holes, which still stand as remnants of times past.

6

Like many locations in Tombstone, this one too, hosts apparitions of times past. The tumultuous history of this location, including multiple fires, the robbery of 1886 and the 1887 earthquake in Sonoma, contribute to the energy of unresolved and lingering spirits on unfinished business.

7

Here at Ike Clanton's Haunted Hotel, visitors to the hotel report sightings of a slight man, walking around before disappearing into the hallway as if he was never there. Visitors also report taps on shoulders to see a man passing by and disappearing, and it is assumed to be the spirit of Ike Clanton.
