Old Town History, in a HEARSE...

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 300 years of haunted history. Old Town was 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 battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries.

Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 90-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. Review the evidence, and then decide for yourself the possibility of the existence of ghosts.

Dead man talking ~~~ dead men DO tell tales!

Do you like history, ghosts and magic? Then you’ll love our interactive, 60-minute, indoor, Magic Show hosted by the spirited ghost of Albuquerque's first Town Constable, Milton J. Yarberry! This unique show features true stories blended with humor & magical effects.

Milton J. Yarberry was exactly the type of man who laid foundations for the American West while pursuing his personal obsessions. In the heart of the historic Old Town area, today's the art galleries, restaurants & retail shops were once wild saloons, rough gambling halls and numerous "houses of negotiated affection." Hear how corruption, scandal and lawlessness plagued Albuquerque with the coming of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1880, bringing the need for law & order.

Show Dates & Times

Now you can experience Old Town through the eyes of Constable, Milton J. Yarberry. After being convicted for murder, he met his fate at the end of a hangman's noose in 1883... Discover the magic, myths & legends of the west’s least competent Lawman. The stories are all true, but the names might have been changed to protect the dead!

When Milton Yarberry comes back to “visit”, you’ll find him almost as quick with his witty remarks, as he was with his six shooter. A bit short tempered, we don’t let him wear his hardware, but that won’t stop him from occasionally shooting off his mouth...

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

from our GHOST TOURS

10/04/08 - Mark & Taylor M. - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I took the tour on Saturday October 4th, 2008 on an unusually rainy night in Albuquerque, only adding to the ambience. After a detailed lecture on the different aspects of ghost hunting by a bandaged hand guide, I felt I was ready to conquer the ghosts of Old Town. We started at a closed business with an eeire upstairs area. After a brief history of the building, we surveyed the area with different electronic equipment. Our guides pointed us to the most interesting areas. Now we departed to a small church, after a mysterious story of a weeping lady dressed in black. This was the most intruiging part of the tour. Finally we went to a 'new' area, again fortunately covered from the onpouring rain. We again made our rounds with the electronic devices, and digital cameras constantly flashing. The group met back at the beginning, talking about summaries and any strange events involved.

I've lived in Albuquerque for 20 years and learned more about Old Town during this tour than all my years in the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone; visitor or long time resident. Even though no ghosts were officially spotted, but orbs were, this was an enjoyable time by all.

I just wanted to say that we took the Ghost Tour and Mykie did a very good job and kept our family of 4 well entertained.   Mykie obviously loves his job and loves telling stories and our family appreciated this.  In addition Mykie has a very detailed grasp of the history of the region.  We just wanted to make you aware of his great job.

 

Cheers, Doug

Ghost Tour of Old Town

My wife and I spent a lovely five+ days in Albuquerque recently... one of the highlights was the Ghost Tour (Mykie did a great job). I write a blog for our local community newspaper.  Feel free to link to it if you see something you like. Thanks again for helping to make a memorable vacation!

We spent most of the day in Old Town doing the tourist stuff and buying souvenirs (again, just about every store was giving away bowling T-shirts for $5 to $7 bucks).  In one flyer or another, there was a write up about a Old Town Ghost Tour, so my wife and I bought our tickets and came back at 8:00 for the tour.  I don't believe in ghosts in any way, shape or form, but Mykie the tour guide did tell fun stories... usually about bloody murder.  My wife on the other hand, bought into it hook, line and sinker and took hundreds of pictures because Mykie said that many people could see supernatural images in photos.  Luckily for 2008, our digital camera was able to erase the 25 pictures of the same thing that she took!

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts Tour

The Outlaws show is AWESOME! You can expect to go down dark alleys, lover's paths, sanctuaries where strange noises can actually be heard, looking for the fellow ghosts of old town.  Not only do you learn about the ghosts but also the history that makes Albuquerque what it is today.  I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to step back into time of old town.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

I was on one of your tours this last Tuesday night (June 3rd @ 8:00). I LOVED the tour! I have been wanting to go on one of these for a LONG time!  It was Exactly what I expected and our guides (sorry, I am horrible with names) were GREAT! I was extremely happy knowing that I was being guided by professionals!  I rated my Vacation in New Mexico as the BEST I have taken thanks to your tour and the pictures I was able to get :)

Thanks again!

Ghost Tour of Old Town

I took two Ghost Tours last week when I was in Old Town.  I am still somewhat a skeptic but I found it to be lots of fun and had a good time both times I went.  The tour guides were really good.  I took some pictures which I will upload to my computer this weekend.  I hope that I got something. Thank you for running such great tours and I really enjoy them and I would recommend them to everyone who  visits Old Town.  Thank you again.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

We had a wonderful time on your Ghost Tour last evening with Mykie and Diane.  Very informative and fun. We took several pictures that contained a few interesting "extras". Even if our photos didn't capture "ghosts", the historic learning and letting our imaginations take flight during the two hour walking experience is what will stay with us, while taking pictures merely added to "mystery element" of the tour. We throughly enjoyed getting out into the night air and allowing ourselves to experience the curiosity and innocence that children naturally employ. Your tour content made it very easy to "play". 

We were not disappointed!

Thank you,

 

Mike & Janet

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I attended the "Outlaws Tour" of Old Town led by Milton Yarberry two weeks ago and I found it to be very informative, fascinating, and fun. The man who played Milton was extremely entertaining and I learned a lot about Old Town history that I'd never before heard or seen, despite having lived here 56 years! I'd recommend it to everyone as a great way to spend an evening and learn about some local colorful history!

Thanks,

Steve G.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Honestly, the ghost tour that I took with tour guide Blake was so awesome I did not even really notice that it was freezing cold outside.  Blake was very interesting.  He lead the group through old town telling us stories and entertaining us.  He his hilarious and fits in with the tours personality.  He never tried to by scary in a cheesy way.  I also learned a lot of interesting things about old town.  This new knowledge gave me perspective, and made the tour more exciting. Living here in albuquerque, I have recommended this tour to many local people.  I also recommend it to visitors coming into town for a little local spice.

FIVE STARS - GHOST TOUR COMPLIMENTS!

Ghost Hunting Tour

We had such a great time last night!  Even though it was a quiet night, it was still a success in my mind because it not only served to reinforce my interest in this field, but it also showed me that anyone can actually get involved in it.  I've heard over and over that people have developed an interest in the paranormal and have gotten involved because of personal experiences; well, I've never had a personal experience and a part of me always wondered if that would limit my ability to truly get involved.  Having said that, last night I realized that anyone can learn to use the technical tools involved and they can also work towards developing a greater sense of awareness. I appreciate the opportunity offered, as this "tour" was unlike any other tour I've participated in. 

Thanks again,

Angelica

07/23/07 – Robert D.B. – Albuquerque, NM

Ghost Tour of Old Town

I would like to thank Tours of Old Town for a truly informative and entertaining tour on Saturday evening.  Diana, our tour guide, and Tim did an outstanding job of bringing the ghosts and history of old town to life.  I am a life long resident of Albuquerque and a descendant of three founding families of Albuquerque and have always enjoyed spending time in Old Town with my children but until Diana's incredible tour on Saturday, I was completely unaware of some of the more interesting aspects of Old Town.  Our tour group consisted of all Albuquerque residents and Diana did a superb job of keeping everyone hanging on her wonderfully woven tales of ghostly things and historic background.  I was so impressed, I am planning on returning for additional tours as Diana and Tim have suggested and will bring more people with me.  My two sons who were also on the tour could not stop talking about how exciting and informative it was.  I wish their teachers at school were as dynamic and interesting.  Keep up the great work!  

Regards,

Robert DB

07/22/07 – Kim C. – Bakersfield, CA

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Hello,

Diana and Mykie are fantastic tour guides.  In fact, they actually were better than the Ghost tours I had in the California Gold Country, San Francisco, and in London!  They were very knowledgeable, animated, professional, and considerate.  I was especially taken by how much respect they had for the spirits they spoke of.  I was inspired.  They also had a very calming self about them and although I was a lone traveler, they made me feel safe from spirits and those drinking too much spirits…

On my grand tour of New Mexico this last May, I wanted to take a Ghost Tour in Santa Fe but no one at that company ever returned my call.  That company had two days to call back but did not. On my way back to Albuquerque, on my way to Carlsbad, I decided that I’ll try your company.  I left a message on the office machine less than two hours before the tour and Diana actually called me back.  I had just arrived at my hotel and was rushing over to Old Town with about ten minutes until the tour.  Diane gave me great directions and I was able to make the tour.  I really commend your employees for being highly professional.  I could tell that they were really on top of things.  They are an excellent team.  You have such outstanding guides!  

Thanks again for an amazing tour. May your company thrive with each passing year.

Sincerely,

Kim C.

Moonlight Ghost Tour

(Alibi BLOG) I did the coolest thing last weekend. I was trolling around the net and I found this new “Moonlight Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque.”

Yeah, I hear you—I absolutely hate going to Old Town during the day because it’s hot, crowded, touristy and makes me wanna break things and say bad words. However, the idea of going on a nighttime tour and hearing stories of ghosts, whorehouses, drunken brawls and more ghosts was quite appealing and hangover-free.   I and my companion, Ike, showed up at 10 p.m., paid about $20 each and spent the next two hours being entertained, and even scared at a couple of points. I won’t spoil it for you, but there is a maxxed, turbo-creepy thing at the end. Anyway, check this thing out, because the tour is fun and the guides, Diana and Mykie, know their stuff.

HI,

I just wanted to say that the full moon tour that I recently went on was very fun, we went to some different spots which was very nice.  I’m looking forward to doing it again.

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I recently took the Milt Yarberry tour and just wanted to let you all know how thoroughly I enjoyed it. I'm from Albuquerque and thought I knew all about the area, but the tour provides lots of fascinating historical info & anecdotes. I also found the magic routines that punctuate the tour highly entertaining, and that Yarberry character is a stroke of genius!

Thanks,

JH
