The story behind downtown’s favorite ghost tour

It started with one idea: make Arizona history way more interesting — and a little haunted.
Get Ghosted Phoenix wasn’t just born — it was built. From years of teaching, selling, training, and performing came a new kind of haunted walking tour in downtown Phoenix, mixing real history with true crime, ghost stories, and a little chaos. Now, it's the go-to experience for visitors and locals looking for things to do in Phoenix at night.
No Two Nights Are the Same
Running a ghost and true crime tour isn’t your typical day job. One day you’re guiding a packed group through a haunted alleyway. The next, your video won’t upload, your booking link glitches, and Instagram decides to delete your business account — with 10K followers — just for fun.
Oh — and sometimes a ghost says your name out loud on the spirit box. Because of course they do.
It’s Grit, Ghosts, and Google Rankings
Behind every tour is hours of script writing, filming reels, updating SEO, and chasing keywords like Phoenix ghost tour, haunted downtown Phoenix, true crime tour Tempe, and haunted things to do in Arizona.
And yes — some other tours have noticed what we’re doing and taken “inspiration.” That’s fine. They don’t have our stories, our guides, or our spirit (pun absolutely intended).
Why I Keep Doing It
Because the wins are real.
Speaking at GCU’s Tourism College
Partnering with the Renaissance Hotel and MCSO MASH Unit
Watching my team grow into confident performers and creators
Hearing guests say, “I love getting ghosted”
That’s what keeps me going.
Come Experience It
Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just here for the dark history and unexpected twists — this tour is for you.
