Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 319 years of haunted history. Old Town is the birthplace of Albuquerque, founded in 1706, and for more than three centuries people have lived, and died, around the Old Town Plaza. The historic buildings and spooky alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of lost loves, Civil War battles, murders, hangings, and even hidden cemeteries.

Everyone loves a good old-fashioned Ghost Story!

Professional Tour Guides escort you on a lantern-lit adventure through the historic Old Town Albuquerque area. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home. Learn the history and basics of Ghost Hunting as you hear the chilling stories of actual events. Old Town is one of the most actively haunted locations in North America. Residents, employees and tourists have all experienced unexplained phenomena. From actual sightings of full apparitions which seem to vanish impossibly into thin air; to disembodied voices heard in empty buildings; even objects moving mysteriously on their own. Tour is family friendly but is rated “PG” for some real historical information that may be disturbing to younger or sensitive guests.

Featured on your favorites shows like the Travel Channel, Weird Travels, The Dead Files, Dead Famous, Breaking Bad - Walter White’s Funeral, In Plain Sight & on Coast to Coast Radio. Come experience us for yourself!

This is a fun, old-fashioned , Ghost Story style Tour. We are NOT a Haunted House. No one is jumping out at you - or if they do, they are not with us! We ae not a Ghost Hunting or a Paranormal Investigation Tour (though we do those from time to time). We do not use cheesy parlor magic tricks. We tell you the reported Ghost Stories, we share the past history of that location and we show you the evidence collected my various Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Investigators during the past 23-years. 

Most of the Tour locations are operating businesses which are closed by the time we pass by. We do not usually go inside the buildings during the Tour, we reminisce from the outside walkways. Merchants invite you to come inside and take a look during their regular business hours.

GHOST TOUR HELD NIGHTLY - YEAR ROUND!

Old Town is a living museum! The only way to fully experience the culture, history, heritage, sights, sounds, and energy is to stroll with us in the footsteps of our founders. Venture into Old Town's nooks and crannies along the same historic pathways strolled for the past 319 years. In an industry filled with large events, huge attractions, cramped and shared limited spaces in buses & trolleys, our tours held outdoors in the fresh air, are one of the BEST options to do with your friends & family.


Learn the history, hear the Ghost Stories, review the Paranormal evidence - then decide for yourself the possibility of the existence of Ghosts!
