The Story
About This Pub Crawl
Decades ago, Flagstaff, Arizona was a sleepy little railroad settlement at the base of Mount Humphries. Today, its past has been lovingly preserved in the historic downtown district. Colorful characters from the town’s early days, along with the hotels and stores they labored to build, are the subject of amusing anecdotes and ghostly tales. The Orpheum Theatre sits next to the iconic Weatherford Hotel-both buildings born from the imagination of John Weatherford. Kindly Dr. Raymond, beloved if eccentric town physician, built his home and offices on Leroux St. The 1926 train depot and Hotel Monte Vista are not only of historic note–both buildings are known as supernatural hotspots. The sad tragic story of Marie Walkup and her murdered children is set in 1930s Flagstaff and is a chilling reminder of life’s uncertainties. Along the route, guests will be treated to stops in historic downtown bars, where they can enjoy a drink while being regaled with stories from the past.
Now a Private Tour for Your Group
Spirits With The Spirits no longer runs on a weekly public schedule. It runs as a private booking instead. Your own guide. Your own people. A date you pick. Ghost stories between rounds at three historic downtown bars, about two hours, groups up to 16, 21+ only.
Private works better for a night like this. Bachelorette weekends. Birthdays. Corporate outings that beat another conference room. A crew of friends who like their history with a drink in hand. No strangers in the group, and the stories land the way they should.
