Downtown Fresno Historic District · Fresno's Basque immigrant community
US Ghost Adventures runs city-branded ghost walks in dozens of U.S. cities under local names; in Fresno the program is marketed as Fresno Ghosts. The tour meets at the Meux Home Museum and covers about a mile of downtown Fresno on foot over roughly an hour, without entering privately owned buildings.
The route draws on Fresno's Gold Rush-era and Basque-immigrant history, touching on the Victorian-era Meux Home Museum, the 1936 Fresno Memorial Auditorium, and the Santa Fe Hotel, a home for Basque sheepherders and immigrants in the early 20th century. The operator's own site states its stories are drawn from historic reports, local folklore, and recorded sources.

The operator's preview material highlights the Meux Home Museum, a Victorian mansion the operator connects to a reportedly haunted doll and speculation about the Meux family; the Fresno Memorial Auditorium, a 1936 cultural venue the operator ties to reports involving veterans who used the building over its decades of service; and the Santa Fe Hotel, which the operator connects to reports involving Basque sheepherders and immigrants who lived there in the early 20th century.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
