Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 100-minute, lantern-lit adventure. 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.
Come with an open mind and bring your digital camera. Guests have captured many curious unexplained phenomena in photos taken during the tour.
Guided Outdoor Strolls last from 90-Minutes to 2-Hours.
Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing 2-hour 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 dark alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of lost loves, Civil War battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries.
Everyone loves a good old-fashioned Ghost Story!

Definitely a must-do when in Albuquerque!
This was my very first ghost tour but it has exceeded my expectations. Our guides (Erica and Adam - I hope I got their names right) were absolutely pleasant, knowledgeable, approachable and must of all, very entertaining! It was a rather cold winter night but we all pushed on, enjoying the walk while taking in the cold, crisp Old Town Albuquerque air. According to the guides, it was one of the weirdest nights they've ever experienced themselves. For starters, our group turned it to be completely made up of locals, no tourists. And almost every stop we made seemed to have a huge distraction or "interruption", from a truck lit up with Christmas lights that was blasting YMCA around the square, to one of the gadgets refusing to turn on even though it was brand new and fully charged, and then to the sweet little cat that our guides name Distracto. Erica took it all in her stride and never let it bother her one bit. She kept the stories well told and energetic, through the biting cold. Not only was the tour entertaining, it was highly informative as well. I learnt why Old Town Albuquerque was called just that, on top of other things. To find out what other things, I strongly recommend taking the tour. Make sure to book through THE ORIGINAL WEBSITE!!!

We did the 8 pm tour. Vince and Mary were equal parts historian, entertainer and scare masters. They kept us enthralled, informed and freighted. Such a fun evening and well worth with the modest fee

Email Verified Great storytelling about the ghosts of Old Town
Took my daughter (18) and toured with Charlie and Lin. Charlie is a great storyteller, drawing you in so you can imagine these events that took place so many years ago! Was left wanting more! Tour lasted about 2 hours which was perfect. It was dark but felt very safe. It's not a far walk, but would recommend very comfortable shoes as some of the bricks/pavement is uneven. They had water for very reasonable price for purchase, which I would encourage. Great experience, highly recommend! 5 stars from me!
