Tour Preview: Where You'll Go
Teeter House
In Arizona, Christmas hasn’t always been a jolly time of the year. In fact, a town once dedicated to the holiday is now a ghost town - literally. Venture to the Teeter House, where you’ll uncover the evolution of local traditions and the spirits that choose the Teeter House to continue their holiday celebrations in the afterlife.
St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Basilica
Church is a staple for many during Christmastime, but some churches come complete with their own holiday spirit. Visit this Phoenix landmark to unveil the true story of Saint Nick and how the early practices of the holidays intertwine.
Melinda’s Alley
When it comes to money, not a lot has changed. Christmas is celebrated differently among the classes, and this was never more apparent in the days of the Old West. Visit Melinda’s Alley, where you’ll learn about Phoenix’s dark underground and the vices that claimed the lives of many, leaving one particular spirit to wander this alley, watching over those who enter her space.
