Old Bisbee Ghost Tour Could Grab Top National Prize

I've loved ghost stories and spooky tales since I was a kid. I was the child who read by flashlight long past bedtime. Against all logic, I couldn't stop reading, usually freaking myself out with tales of haunted houses and creepy ghost sightings.

The "guaranteed true" accounts of hauntings lit up my imagination when I was supposed to be powering down for sleep.

Legends and Lore with the Old Bisbee Ghost Tour

I still love the thrill of a well-spun tale of creepiness, especially if it's part of the local lore. If you can relate, check out the Old Bisbee Ghost Tour and amble along the streets and staircases as one of their talented Ghost Hosts shares the legends of ghostly hauntings.

The tour is the original walking ghost tour in Cochise County, founded in 2006 by Renee Harper, a local with a passion for folklore and storytelling. The Old Bisbee Ghost Tour has grown into one of the most beloved haunted attractions in the Southwest.

What Can You Expect on the Old Bisbee Ghost Tour?

I've been on the tour several times and have enjoyed every minute of it. My advice: wear a good pair of shoes and gather your friends for an evening of hidden history.

Picture this: a spooky, lantern-lit walk through Bisbee’s winding alleys and stairways after dark. Your Ghost Host will guide you through tales of haunted hotels, tragic miners, and mysterious ladies in white.

You’ll hear about Julia, a Lady of the Evening with a soft spot for married men, and Nat, a miner who met a grim fate over unpaid debts, according to TripAdvisor. The walking tour lasts approximately an hour and forty-five minutes, and you’ll uncover more than the legendary Bisbee ghost stories; you'll gather the rich history behind the rumors.
