Roswell City Hall · Chaves County Magistrate Court · Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico (former Phelps White residence)
US Ghost Adventures, the multi-city ghost-tour network, operates a standardized Roswell product under the local consumer brand 'Roswell Ghosts.' The Ravaged Requiem of Reckoning: Roswell Ghost Tour is a roughly 1-mile walking tour meeting nightly outside Roswell City Hall, 425 N Richardson Ave, covering the Chaves County Magistrate Court, the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico (a former Phelps White family residence), and the building now housing the Roswell Independent School District, formerly Roswell High School. This is a distinct company from Roswell, Georgia's independently operated 'Roswell Ghost Tour,' a different city and a different operator.
The tour is corroborated as an operating city program by a GetYourGuide listing for 'Ravaged Requiem of Reckoning: Roswell Ghost Tour,' priced from $32 per person.

According to US Ghost Adventures, the Chaves County Magistrate Court is haunted by the spirit of a judge known for his harsh rulings, along with a prisoner said to be unable to move on from an unjust imprisonment. At the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico, the operator attributes reported activity to German prisoners of war who once maintained the property alongside members of the Phelps White family who built it. At the former Roswell High School, now the Roswell Independent School District building, the operator's narration centers on a phantom violin heard nightly and an unexplained presence that spooks staff.
