Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 15 minutes
Mobile ticket
Flagstaff’s original ghost tour since 2015. 1,000+ five-star reviews. Voted Best of Flagstaff 23, 24, 25. There’s a reason people keep coming back & a reason certain guests say ghosts followed them home.
You’ll hear about the phantom bellboy at the Monte Vista Hotel, how John Weatherford came to Flagstaff to build his fortune, and the dark history of Wheeler Park that most Flagstaff residents don’t know. And then there’s the Marie Walkup case. We won’t spoil it here, but it’s the story that made Susan write a whole book.
You'll also learn why Flagstaff's historic steam tunnels were sealed shut, and why no one's been truly underground since.
We’re locally owned and operated by the people who wrote the books on this town’s dark side. Co-founder Susan Johnson is the author of Wicked Flagstaff, Haunted Flagstaff, and The Walkup Family Murders.
Your attendance is gravely appreciated.

5.00Mike gave us an amazing tour of the spooky and mysterious spots in historic Flagstaff. Mike. It was one of the highlights of our visit here from out of state. Mike has a little bit of the theater in his blood, and he knows how to make something interesting but yet not give you nightmares.
