One of the most haunted buildings in Tombstone is The Birdcage Theater. This notorious place of vice-inspired and robust entertainment was considered to be a wildly wicked den of sin and rowdiness, open 24 hours.
The Birdcage Theater was closed for fifty years, but was reopened for tourists when Tombstone was picked to be on the national historical places list.
Just some of the occurrences
People have smelled the distinctive odor of cigar smoke, and the distinct aroma of whiskey.

Auditory Occurrences:

The museum's sound system sometimes turns itself on, providing saloon music which surprises the living and brings enjoyment to the entities who still patronize The Birdcage Theater.
Many witnesses among the living have heard:

The clear disembodied voice of a woman singing.
Sounds of music playing.
Sounds of hearty laughter.
Strange noises coming from the balcony boxes.
The sound of people talking.
The sound of dice being thrown, glasses clinking and cards being shuffled.

Visual Manifestations:

Cheryl Leavere, Birdcage Theater manager, reports "The ghosts here are friendly and like to play."
Items are moved around and put in odd places.
An apport in the form of a never before seen 100 dollar poker chip appeared one day on a gambling table, and was found by a tourist. The owner locked it in a safe. When experts arrived to take a look at it, the chip had disappeared, much to the annoyance of all involved. The chip reappeared in a locked desk drawer after the experts had left.

A life-sized statue of Wyatt Earp was placed in one of the balcony boxes. Every morning, afterward, museum employees would find his hat sitting in the middle of the floor below. This continued for 6 months. One morning, the statue was even completely turned around. A historian was finally consulted and he told them that they had put Wyatt Earp in the box where the Clantons used to reserve. Uh oh! They quickly moved the statue of Wyatt Earp to the correct balcony box, and the hat throwing stopped.

Transparent apparitions dressed in a variety of 1880's attire, have been seen throughout The Birdcage Theater building.

At night, the living have seen a whole room full of entities partying hardy in the main hall.

An entity of a male stage hand, walking across the stage, going about his business is a common report. He is seen wearing black stripped pants, a visor and holding a clip board.

An entity of a female, dressed in 1880s attire, has been seen going into the wine cellar and then fading into the air.

An entity of a man, dressed in 1880s attire, is forever looking for his wife all over the theater, looking very sad, depressed and confused.

  • @xXKITTENKICKERXx is right i watched it and its coffee grinder but later there is really is ghost

  • Maybe it was cholesterol chocking you, fat ass.

    I've been there in tombstone, the only strange experience I had was the understanding that Tombstone's only reason for existence today is nostalgia.

  • Ghost in Coffin Debunked light thru Coffee grinder wheel created the shadow.

  • the boy is actionly cute :o

  • Umm the show fact or faked showed that it was the coffee grinder.

    The person that shined the flashlight didnt realize they shined it right in front of a circular old fashioned coffee grinder so it showed up looking like someone in a coffin but you can see that it is a circle that is shown at a different angle(:

  • Unfortunately this video is a case of misidentification

  • @swanbell the light looked bright stadium lights, coming up about a foot or so all around the graveyard perimeter, and its kind of in the middle of a 1 acre pasture out in the middle of the country with a few houses around and no telephone poles close enough to do somthing like that, still think about and the other experience to this day, and those arent even the creepiest experiences i had, there's a few i will never tell anybody because id like to think it didn't actually happen

  • @swanbell another unforgetable thing that happened to me when i was younger involved a family graveyard on my land that was out in the pasture and you could see it easily from the backsteps back then, so my mom called me out and asked me, son tell me what you see out there, and i looked around a bit and i said hmm the graveyard is glowing that's odd, and it was just around the perimeter of the graveyard, way out in the country at that time, there was no lights around the area and no moon light

  • This is a really cool video but i just watched "Fact or Fake paranormal videos" on Syfy channel and they debunked this video. It was actually a light reflection off of a big coffee grinder off to the side. Was a little upset that they were able to recreate it. I hoped that it was real but sadly it isnt. Not saying the place isn't haunted but this video isnt a ghost video

  • @thomas242007 i wouldnt live there either so dont blame you for moving out. I haven't seen anything like that myself but do believe it is possible and true. Some very scary dark energies in & out of this world and would like to think there is positive energies too!
