From notorious gunslingers to ethereal ladies of the night, join us as we journey back in time and uncover the lingering spirits that may still roam the historic buildings and neighborhoods.
Unveiling the Darker Side:
The tour commences at the picturesque Pioneer Park, known for its serene ambiance during the day. However, as the sun sets, a different aura envelopes the park, setting the stage for a truly haunting experience. Discover the hidden secrets and stories of how this idyllic park transforms when darkness falls, offering an eerie atmosphere unlike any other.
Next, we venture through Old Town, traversing the paths of history at El Campo Santo Cemetery. Here, amidst the gravestones of yesteryear, countless paranormal encounters have been reported. The air thickens with an otherworldly presence as we navigate this sacred ground, allowing visitors to witness firsthand the chilling energy that lingers in the air.
The pinnacle of the tour culminates at the renowned Whaley House, a site that has earned the title of America’s Most Haunted by the Travel Channel’s “America’s Most Haunted” series. While the claim of the house being haunted cannot be definitively proven, an overwhelming collection of documented paranormal activities surrounding the property makes a compelling case. Though the tour does not enter the Whaley House itself, the exterior and surrounding grounds provide a tantalizing glimpse into the mysteries and apparitions that haunt this iconic landmark.
