Bird Cage Theatre
















Ghosts of Arizona, p. 190-192
Players: Sarah, Charity, and Beth - Fall 2008
Directions: Tombstone, AZ



When Sarah, Charity, and I went to Tombstone, Charity could not wait to go ghost hunting in the Birdcage Theatre! It truly is a creepy place and when I took pictures I caught a lot of "orbs" in the shots. We actually toured the building and then sat on the stage and waited to witness ghosts first hand. Though I didn't hear any, I did see a weird light anomaly on one of the paintings on the wall. It made me a believer...

Tombstone is the Town Too Tough to Die and the Birdcage Theatre is no exception! It has survived two devastating fires, the flooding of its mines, and ghost town abandonment and now over 120 years later continues to thrive! Built in 1881 it was one of Tombstone's hottest attractions - the one stop saloon, opera house, gambling hall, and brothel! Everyone came here including the famous cowboys Wyatt Earp, Johny Ringo and Doc Holliday! The opera house was supposed to be neutral ground for the cowboys and hang out and relax...however, the establishment does adorn 140 bullet holes throughout and 26 have lost their lives under the roof.

It's no wonder this place is regarded as one of the most haunted in the country...
