Old Bisbee Historic District · Bisbee copper mining history
The Old Bisbee Ghost Tour states it was established in 2007 and is locally owned and operated, celebrating over 18 years in business. Its own site states it has been featured on Ghost Adventures, AAA Highroads, Phoenix Magazine, the New York Times, USA Today, Good Morning Arizona, Fox 10 News, Arizona Highways TV, and Arizona Illustrated, and that USA Today voted it one of the top 10 ghost tours in the United States for five consecutive years, alongside a continuous TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
The company runs four separately ticketed tours: the flagship Old Bisbee Ghost Tour, a nightly walk through the town's back alleys and stairways that includes access inside a couple of historic buildings; the Saturday-night Haunted Pub Crawl through Bisbee's bars; Bisbee After Dark, a family-friendly, no-stairs walking tour; and the Gallery of Ghosts, an open-air Ghost Cart ride. The operator's tour waiver names the Bisbee Inn / Hotel La More and the Copper Queen Hotel alongside the City of Bisbee as parties not liable for tour incidents, consistent with the operator's stated access into haunted buildings along the route.

The operator's own tour description introduces three recurring reported figures without full identification: "Julia," described as a woman who worked as a lady of the evening and who the operator says still keeps company with married men staying in her former room; "Nat," a miner the operator says owed a debt and paid for it with his life; and the "Lady in White," credited by the operator with having saved the lives of three children. The tour visits the alleys, stairways, and a couple of historic buildings associated with these accounts without naming specific present-day addresses on the operator's public pages.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what the tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history.
