The Story
About This Ghost Tour
Dive into the enigmatic realm of Flagstaff’s adult tales and chilling lore. As you're guided through the city's animated streets, you'll hear narratives of ambition, love, and mysteries that remain unsolved. The heart of this expedition? The riveting stories from Crystal Magic and downtown spots that were so intriguing, they beckoned 'The Dead Files' TV series to Flagstaff. These are the tales that our team of experts researched and unveiled before the cameras rolled in. But the journey doesn't end there. While Flagstaff boasts a rich tapestry of history, this tour strips away the usual facade, exposing stories both haunting and deeply personal. An exclusive evening, meticulously crafted for adults, promising a blend of suspense, revelation, and undeniable magnetism. Flagstaff, Arizona was once a sleepy little railroad settlement at the base of Mount Humphries. It managed to survive and thrive and today is a town with ghosts, rather than a ghost town. It’s past has been preserved in the city’s historic downtown district, where the colorful characters that once walked the streets are brought to life by eerie tales and ghostly stories from knowledgeable guides. Meet John Weatherford, eccentric builder of both the Orpheum Theatre and iconic Weatherford Hotel. Smile at kindly Dr. Raymond, beloved town physician, who 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. Shiver at the tragic story of Marie Walkup and her murdered children that occurred during the town’s 1937 hey-day. And shake your head at the 1988 trial of George Abbott for the murder of Sarah Saganitso in which the Skin Walker defense prevailed.
