Arizona's Ghost Stories, UFOs & Legends: Beyond the Walking Tour

A New Way to Explore Arizona's Darker Side

If you've joined one of our downtown Phoenix ghost tours, you've probably noticed something.

Oftentimes during our tours, certain topics come up that we simply don't have time to fully explore. Guests ask about the Phoenix Lights, Skinwalker legends, Arizona cryptids, haunted locations outside of downtown Phoenix, infamous true crime cases, and other strange stories from around the state. And I love those questions.

The truth is, Arizona is filled with incredible stories. From haunted mining towns and abandoned ghost towns to UFO sightings, desert legends, Victorian death customs, and infamous murders, there are countless mysteries that deserve a closer look. While our walking tours focus on the haunted history of downtown Phoenix, there's an entire state full of strange history waiting to be explored.

Beyond the Walking Tour

Our Coffee Talks give us the opportunity to dive deeper into Arizona's haunted history, folklore, true crime, cryptids, UFO sightings, and unexplained mysteries—topics that simply don't fit into a two-hour walking tour. Using historic photographs, newspaper accounts, maps, and fascinating research, each presentation explores one subject in greater depth while leaving plenty of time for questions and discussion. Whether you've attended one of our ghost tours or you're simply fascinated by Arizona history, there's always another story waiting to be uncovered.
