Murders and Mysteries: A Phoenix Ghost Tour

While there are plenty of ghost tours in Phoenix, very few explore the dark side of the history of this vibrant city. On Spirit of Arizona Tours, you will hear about murders, ghosts, and scandals that rarely make it onto the History Channel or into textbooks.

Perfect for mystery lovers, crime aficionados, or anyone who loves a good ghost story.

You won't just hear about strange deaths or paranormal activity—you will get to personally explore the sites and experience what they have to offer. On our Phoenix Murders and Mysteries Ghost Tour, you will get up close and personal with a former murder scene, witness sites where psychics experienced spiritual contact from the other side, and enter locations where ghost hunting shows have filmed.

As one visitor said, “The Phoenix Ghost Tour was an awesome combination of history, paranormal and comedy. I highly recommend it!” So, whether you want to learn about the notable past deaths in Phoenix or you're seeking a spooky adventure, our tours will deliver.

Not into the spookiness but love history? All our tours are packed with historical details—and don’t worry, they are updated regularly to include the most current information. If you’re looking for a more personalized experience, request a custom tour and we will create a unique experience just for you and your group.

There must be something that really motivates ghosts to haunt Phoenix. Maybe it's the heat, or maybe they just really like the city. Either way, it's clear that these spirits are here to stay!

The Sonoran Desert has been a mysterious and mystical place for hundreds of years. The mysterious disappearance of the Hohokam people, who used to live here, has given rise to much speculation. The Hohokam were an ancient people who developed the first urban society in the Salt River area. They created an impressive irrigation system that is still used today. The Hohokam were a thriving and flourishing culture, until their sudden and mysterious disappearance in the 1400s.

When early European settlers arrived, the desert was a savage wilderness, drawing many dangerous and unsavory characters to the city in its early days. Locals drank heavily, played cards, and most of all walked the streets armed and ready to combat the outlaws and natives that loitered. Violence was common, political gang fights were common, and justice was swift and personal. Elections often ended with shootouts.

Any city with a history this drenched in blood is bound to be home to some paranormal activity. The ghosts of past tragedies and crimes still haunt the city streets, and you can feel their icy presence as you wander the darkened alleys. Book your tour today, and experience the supernatural side of Phoenix for yourself!

Not only will you get spooked out with a couple of terrifying tours, but you'll find out all about Arizona’s history and hear some intriguing ghost stories!
