Corral, and it saw many less-notorious clashes among cowboys, prospectors and thieves before the silver mines played out.īut when the pandemic hit, Tombstone, quite literally, turned into a ghost town. Tombstone is best known for the gunfight at the O.K. At night, he takes customers fascinated by the paranormal on a walking tour around town to some haunted locations, including Big Nose Kate’s Saloon and the infamous Bird Cage Theatre. Widen is a senior tour guide for the national tourism company’s Tombstone location. Ghost tours in Tombstone and Flagstaff have seen an uptick in business during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many businesses closed because of social distancing requirements and a lack of customers. “There were lots of suicides, lots of gunfights, lots of people cheating each other in business deals because once the money started rolling again, friends weren’t friends anymore.” “This town is one of the top 10 most-haunted cities simply because so many people lost their lives here in such a short period of time,” Widen said of Tombstone, founded in 1877.
In what’s considered one of Arizona’s most-haunted towns, where ghosts lurk on practically every corner, his Ghost City Tours combine the Wild West history of Tombstone with stories of spirits who still linger.
TOMBSTONE – Larry Widen believes ghosts and spirits have unfinished business in the human world. Xenia Kiever points out a possible ghost in a photo the Tombstone community provided to tour guide Larry Widen.
