Santa Fe's Haunted History Walking Tour

• Burro Alley

Walk the narrow lane named for the burros that once supplied Santa Fe's firewood, and hear the story of Doña Tules, the gambling hall owner some say never really left.

• Santa Fe Plaza & the Palace of the Governors

Stand where centuries of rebellion and conquest played out, then cross the street to the Palace of the Governors, where eight men were beheaded in 1643 over a governor's murder.

Sena Plaza

Step behind a plain street wall into a hidden thirty-three-room family compound, where locals say the original owner never stopped wandering the halls.

• Drury Plaza Hotel

Hear the legend of a crying boy in a room that no two storytellers can quite agree on, inside a building that spent twenty years as St. Vincent's Hospital.

• La Posada de Santa Fe

Learn the story of Julia Staab, the grieving widow first spotted near a mansion fireplace in 1979, and still seen there since.

• Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi

Visit the grand stone cathedral built over an older church destroyed in the Pueblo Revolt, where a robed figure is still occasionally seen near the doors.

• La Fonda on the Plaza

Discover the real story behind the Judge in Black, plus three more legends tied to this historic hotel, including a drowned gambler and a bride who never got her wedding night.

• Loretto Chapel

See the famous spiral staircase built with no center pole and no visible support, and learn the real name behind the "impossible" miracle.

• San Miguel Chapel & the Oldest House

End the tour at one of the oldest churches in the country and the house people call the oldest in America, home to Santa Fe's strangest legend of all.
