Downtown Fort Worth Historic District · Fort Worth Stockyards
Ghost City Tours operates ghost walking tours in dozens of U.S. cities, with Fort Worth among its programs advertised as running since 2012. The company runs two separately ticketed Fort Worth products, both meeting at 201 Main Street below the city's Wells Fargo sign: the family-friendly Ghosts of Fort Worth Tour, open to all ages, and the adults-only Hell's Cowboys Ghost Tour, restricted to guests 16 and older and billed by the operator as the city's only adults-only ghost tour.
The company's own site states its published methodology emphasizes documented history and exterior views of haunted buildings rather than access to private interiors — guests stand outside the buildings covered on a route while a guide narrates. Neither Fort Worth tour page names a specific sequence of route stops; the operator's separate 'Haunted Fort Worth' directory lists nine locations, including the Castle of Heron Bay, the Stockyards Hotel, and the Wharton-Scott House, as background material for its Fort Worth storytelling.

The Ghosts of Fort Worth Tour is framed by the operator as a family-friendly counterpart to Cowtown's Wild West cattle-drive-and-gunfighter reputation, gathering ghost stories and haunted history from downtown Fort Worth's streets. The Hell's Cowboys Ghost Tour is billed as the city's only adults-only ghost tour, built around what the operator calls the real events beneath Cowtown's Wild West reputation — stories of violence, tragedy, and restless spirits the family tour leaves out. Neither tour page names a specific walking route; the operator's general Fort Worth marketing separately promotes documented hauntings at the Castle of Heron Bay, the Double Eagle Steakhouse, the Fort Worth Zoo, the Land Title Building, Miss Molly's Hotel, the Scott Theatre, the Jett Building, the Stockyards Hotel, and the Wharton-Scott House, without tying any of them to a specific tour's stop sequence.
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.
