HANGED ~ FEBRUARY 9, 1883

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

Do you like history, ghosts & 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 art galleries, restaurants & retail shops were once wild saloons, rough gambling halls & numerous "houses of negotiated affection." Hear how corruption, scandal & lawlessness plagued Albuquerque with the coming of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1880, bringing the need for law and 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!

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

FROM the 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.

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

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

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.

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
