Flagstaff Public Library · Hotel Monte Vista · Weatherford Hotel · Milligan House · Orpheum Theater
Ghost City Tours operates ghost walking tours in dozens of U.S. cities, with Flagstaff among its programs advertised as running since 2012. In Flagstaff the company runs two separately ticketed products: the family-friendly Ghosts of Flagstaff Tour, open to all ages, and the 16-and-up Hell's Highway Ghost Tour.
The company's own site frames Flagstaff's history around its position on Route 66 and its frontier-era downtown, covering the pioneers and outlaws associated with the hotels and public buildings built during that period. As with the operator's other cities, guides narrate from public sidewalks and exteriors rather than accessing private interiors.
Meeting points differ by tour: the Ghosts of Flagstaff Tour starts at the Flagstaff Public Library, 300 W Aspen Street, and the Hell's Highway Ghost Tour starts outside the Hotel Monte Vista, 100 N San Francisco Ave, at the corner of East Aspen Avenue.

Each Flagstaff tour is built around a shared core of downtown landmarks with a different framing. The Ghosts of Flagstaff Tour opens at the Milligan House, which the operator describes as a Victorian mansion built by a lumber baron in 1899, and continues past the county library building (which the operator ties to a former Carnegie library and dates to 1894), the Weatherford Hotel (built 1900), and the Hotel Monte Vista (opened 1927).
The Hell's Highway Ghost Tour covers the same Weatherford Hotel, Milligan House, and Monte Vista Hotel, but opens instead at the Orpheum Theater, which the operator dates to 1917, and frames the route around Route 66's history of violence and tragedy, with mature language and content restricted to guests 16 and older.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
