TOMBSTONE GHOST TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Tombstone After Dark: Mine Shaft Murmurs and Trolley-Borne Ghost Stories
An hour-long evening ghost tour beginning at the Good Enough Mine that combines mine lore, a trolley tour through Tombstone’s haunted sites, and a spine-tingling graveyard finale—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Tombstone After Dark: Mine Shaft Murmurs and Trolley-Borne Ghost Stories.
At dusk, Tombstone folds differently: the town’s narrow streets, hulking mine entrances and fenced cemeteries become the setting for first-person accounts of loss and legend. Tombstone After Dark is an evening of ghost stories that starts at the Good Enough Mine — where more than thirty miners perished — continues aboard a trolley through the town’s haunted sites, and ends with chilling tales delivered in the graveyards.
