Experience Ghostly History Firsthand As You Make Your Way Through The Haunted Town Of Bisbee, Arizona
Arizona is rife with historic towns whose old, weathered buildings whisper secrets of the past. Bisbee, the site of the iconic Copper Queen Mine, happens to be one such place. Mining towns are notorious for being haunted, and this one is no exception. Old Bisbee Ghost Tours gets you up-close-and-personal with all the resident ghosts, stopping at places well-known for unexplained phenomena. This unique tour is both a history lesson and paranormal investigation, promising to fascinate all who experience it.
A copper mining town dating to the 1800s, Bisbee has a population of just over 5,000.
While it's taken on a new, artsier identity, the town still has a gunslinging past that can never be forgotten. From duels in the street to workers meeting their demise after tragic accidents, this blink-and-you'll-miss-it community has quite a tragic past.
Old Bisbee Ghost Tours takes guests on an in-depth journey through the town's haunted history.
Among the destinations include the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum, Queen Mine, Brewery Gulch District, and many other infamous locales. You'll even go inside some of the spookiest places!
Throughout the two-hour walking tour, you'll hear harrowing tales of loss, calamity, and misfortune -- and perhaps even meet some of the spirits born from it all.
Prepare to get up-close-and-personal with the unspeakable horrors that lurk the streets of Bisbee. From the sounds of ghostly children playing at an empty, abandoned park to the vengeful specters of miners who never made it out of the shafts, you never know what otherworldly entities will be waiting in the dark.
Perhaps the most iconic place you'll visit is the historic Copper Queen Hotel.
Bisbee locals have come to accept the fact that several ghosts haunt these halls. In fact, there's a special "ghost ledger" at the front desk where guests can record any unexplained phenomena they experienced overnight!
If you're brave enough to embark on it, the Old Bisbee Ghost Tour is held seven nights per week.
Who knows what it might capture? When you get home and have a chance to sift through the photos, don't be surprised if a few orbs or apparitions made their way into the shot.
