Stroll through darkened alleyways and past historic buildings with the help of a local guide while searching for the unexplained phenomena that makes Albuquerque one of the most haunted cities in the United States.Albuquerque has been home to different groups of people for thousands of years – from ancient Anasazi to Spanish Conquistadors to American settlers moving west. For the last 300 years, as the settlement along the Rio Grande has ebbed and flowed with the changing tides of transplants and fortune seekers, outlaws and immigrants. The city has seen many of its earliest structures, including cemeteries and burial grounds, literally built over to make room for the next generation. As each group has lived and died and buried their dead, a few lost souls have remained behind to haunt the sites of their former selves. For those willing to brave the shadowy alleyways and moonlit streets with an open mind, it is sometimes possible to find hints of the unexplained that might just point to evidence of the restless apparitions that wander the city streets after the sun goes down.
