Yes. Mountain Town of Madness is the original adults-only ghost tour in Flagstaff, run by Freaky Foot Tours, the family-owned company behind the city's original ghost tour. It departs Friday and Saturday nights at 9 PM from Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff, runs 90 minutes, and every guest must be 18 or older.

Same streets, darker stories. The Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour is our all-ages original. Mountain Town of Madness covers the same historic downtown with the material we leave out of the family version: heavier true crime, the darker details behind the hauntings, gallows humor, and an extra case we save just for this tour. Guides do not have to keep it PG-13.

Wheeler Park Parking Lot, 212 W Aspen Ave, between Flagstaff City Hall and Wheeler Park. Look for your Southwestern Gothic-dressed guide by the parking meter. There is metered and free parking nearby. Please arrive 15 minutes early for check-in.

No. Because of the number of stops and the length of the stories, we do not enter any historic haunts. The stories hit harder from the street, standing outside the buildings where these things happened, in the dark.

There are no actors, props, or jump scares. What you get is real history told straight: documented crimes, firsthand accounts from guides and guests, and the darker side of buildings you can walk past any afternoon. Most guests find that lands harder than any haunted house.

A 1980s murder trial that took a turn nobody in that courtroom expected. We save it for this tour because it deserves the full telling. The rest of that story you will hear on the tour.

Every story is originally researched by co-founder and published local author Susan Johnson, author of Haunted Flagstaff, Wicked Flagstaff, and The Walkup Family Murders. Guides internalize the research and add their own experiences, which is why no two nights are identical.

Travel Channel's The Dead Files investigated downtown Flagstaff in a two-hour episode that aired in April 2022, featuring locations along our route and stories from our research. On the tour you will stand where the cameras rolled and hear what the episode could not fit.

Comfortable walking shoes and layers. Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet, the weather shifts fast, and nights run cold even in summer. Bring a water bottle, and charge your phone if you want photos at the haunted landmarks.

No, this is a walking tour, not a bar crawl. If you want ghost stories between rounds at downtown's most haunted bars, book Spirits With The Spirits, our 21+ haunted pub crawl.
