- We’re back in Tombstone Arizona! Join us as we set off on foot to see the historic (and haunted) sights! We’ll unpack at the Larian, visit the OK Corral and the Birdcage Theater as well as other historic old west locations! We even encounter a screaming banshee in the darkness of Allen Street. Come along!
Viewer discretion is advised.
I haven't been to Tombstone in nearly 50 years. Worked out of Tucson on Southern Pacific Railroad in the early 70's. Retired at Tracy, CA in 1997. Tombstone was a little more opened up back then. They didn't have the OK Corral closed up then. --- Thanks for the tour... Jim, Olympia, WA
Thanks for watching!
I grew up in Tombstone now i am home sick i mean that in a good way. It was great to see town. Thanks for the tour the ok cafe used to be called the stage stop i was the one put the cafe there in the late 70s. My mom and my aunt owned the long horn in the early 70s i sure miss home. It is a very hunted place. Many a time in the late late night i could here boots and spurs and no one was on the streets. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
If I were single, I think I'd look into living in Tombstone. I like quiet and let the spirits have the town at night.
Man I absolutely loved this video. It was amazing to see the old buildings and artifacts. Way too cool
Thanks for watching. more Tombstone content coming soon!
Nothing brought this awesome video home like the screaming biatch! That was probably what most people heard most nights in the 18880's! Your wife looks just like a young Linda Ronstadt or Nancy Wilson from Heart!
Wow, has Tombstone changed, then to, was a soldier & a group of us, only went to the Crystal Palace.. Loved it..
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I stayed there back in May when I visited Tombstone. Nice place
I really enjoyed your video. The town really takes on a magical quality at night. Even more special then during the day. I live about an hour away from Jamestown , CA, an old gold rush town. We go there quite often just like you go to Tombstone. These historic towns really have their own usual vibe!
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love your videos been wanting to visit tombstone myself love all of its rich history
Thanks! Welcome!
One of the gunfight statues was moving just before he arrived.Spooky.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
Never seen a video about that hotel in Tombstone, thanks!
Thanks for watching! More Tombstone videos coming soon!
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures your very welcomed! I love Tombstone, can't wait for more exploration!🤠
Crazy lady at the end! Lol!!!!
That woman screaming at 26:30 in the video, I bet, was similar to some of the sounds & commotion’s one heard back in the Earps time…with the occasional gunshot thrown in for good measure 🤔
interesting stuff i love seeing America this way,wishing you all the best from Scotland
Thank you for watching!
My family and I were in Tombstone back in May of 2021 and plan to return next year. The smoke shop was awesome for us being cigar smokers. Friendly folks hanging out there and they are one of only two stores in the world you can buy an Evel Knievel cigar. It was not the best smoke I’ve ever had but the novelty was great. A good smoke you may enjoy trying.
I’ll look into that. Yes it’s a great shop. Thanks for watching!
Go stuff, great job
It’s amazing how in the low low humidity of a desert, things do not deteriorate like in a humid environment. No telling how much history is lost due to environment. I love old west history….I envy you two for getting to see this
Thanks for watching. We have lots of old west content and more coming down the road. Subscribe so you don’t miss it! 👍
Really dug this visit to Tombstone, which has so much to do n such a fabulous ambience of the Old West!!! I would totally love to visit there someday!!! Thanks for showing us everything n the pics at the end we're cool n creepy!!!I bet if you are in the old buildings by yourself or even just walking through, you can really feel the presences of the people who have traveled through n met their demise there!!! Awesome vlog!!!
Great video.....town looks exactly like the 1880's would have.
Thanks! It is a very cool place.
Great video buddy! Enjoyed watching your adventure in Tombstone. Would love to visit sometime, however I’m in Scotland so it’s a bit far! Best wishes and I’ve subscribed 👍
Thanks so much! We’re going back to film more tombstone videos soon. Glad you liked the video! 👍
GREAT video!! Thanks so much for the post. I love old Tombstone.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I didn't know that there was so much to see in Tombstone! Other videos didn't do the town justice. Hubby and I want to go there on our next vacation. Thank you!
Be sure to check out our other Tombstone videos! Thanks for the support!
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
Thanks for watching.
A very nice presentation.
In a previous video you received a 1st class tour of the Marshall's Facility and I commented on the Mormon Colony in Mexico that fielded a team that played against Tombstone at the old High School.
This time you got to see some of the human dimension of Tombstone most tourists do not experience.
Human drama such as when the owner of the Bird Cage had his windows shot out by someone from Elfrida - and the then Marshall played Andy Griffith and had them work out their issues instead of making an arrest. Or when I had to take my disabled veteran friend and his wheelchair to Tucson to get replacement batteries for his electric wheelchair as they no longer made deliveries. Many things make Tombstone unique. The history and I think also the way people interact with each other. Sometimes the same way it was done in the old West Tombstone.
Great video love how you display the old comparison photographs thankyou
Thanks for watching!
Incredible video, great tour of an historic place. I will share. Thanks.
Thanks! More tombstone videos are coming soon.
Glad to catch one of your first walk abouts...great...

Great video and tour. Hoping visit with my mom this summer. Great capture of the raucous streets in the evening!
Thanks for watching!

Thank you… I really enjoyed your crystal clear explanation
You are welcome!
Really like to go to. Tombstone. Great video

Glad you enjoyed it. The new one comes out tomorrow night. Thanks for watching!
Thank y'all God bless
Thanks for watching.
thanks for the tour very cool
Thanks for watching!
The screaming woman I sure I use to date her or a few just like her. I seem to be a crazy chick magnet. My daughter and I were in Tombstone in Oct. 2024 only for a day. I'm going back this fall and stay longer. Enjoy your videos great job.
Thanks!
A Awesome video thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm absolutely in love with Tombstone.
It’s a very interesting place. 👍
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures my goal is to retire there.
We’ll be back there in a few weeks to make a new video.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures sweet! This past October over the week of my birthday my wife and I stayed in Sierra Vista and explored Cochise County. I recommend Wilcox and Bisbee as well to check out down there.
@@robertbuckey6517 Hey Robert man live in Sierra Vista have a ranch out one the desert edge if i ad known you could have visited and taken part in the activities on offer to our tourists Ed
Thanks for the video.. loved it
Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber to your channel.
Thank you for watching and for your support! 👍
The Telegraph Pole seems so appropriately placed for this point in history as well and to think they just passed themselves an Anti-Lynching Law… What are the Odds ?
The voice telling about the ok corral gunfight at 7:00 sounds A lot like Robert Fuller aka Jess Harper from the TV show Laramie.
We stayed in the same room in 2005, great spot
Shame on you for making that Beautiful Lady walk behind you...I would be proud to have her walk right by my side lol. Great video.
This is an old video and she was camera shy in those days. Lol. Thanks for watching!
My wife and I experienced the same during the day. I pulled her aside thinking it was part of a re-enactment because an older gentleman dressed in Era clothing comes out the doors with conviction ushered out by the bartender.
Linda Ronstadt is in tombstone! j/k
Great video. Enjoyed the virtual tour. I'd probably enjoy walking the streets at night, minus the possessed crazy drunk lady.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video, subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
I stayed at the Larian motel last year,it's a great place to stay,you can walk to towm from there.
30 minutes from tombstone is Sierra Vista it has an army base
But looks like your new channel anyway good video love it I've been to tombstone a lot cuz I live in Southern Arizona I'm a little south of Green valley South Tucson anyway I turn your volume up a little bro it's a little low I had to turn my volume all the way up just to barely hear you anyway man keep it coming I'll subscribe nothing like good videos people take the time to show things and talk and not being a big hurry I like that about your video right on.
Thank you so much for the support! 👍
I went to there too on *December 7th and 8th, 2021*
cool video 🤙 I visited Tombstone in 2001, and the Birdcage made me feel kind of nervous, if that makes sense. Like, I knew it's haunted, but I felt it. Also, I'm pretty fairly sure that my leg was poked at Boothill Cemetery, and not by a cactus or rock. All in all, I had a killer time
Awesome Content! Just subscribed
Thanks! More Tombstone videos are coming soon.
I'm a lady truck driver about 20 years ago my co-driver and I went out of route to see Tombstone. I have so wanted to go back but unfortunately my current company doesn't drive to Arizona.
I can't thank you enough for making this great video!
You gave me the second look of the town! Thank-You
Pleasure to subscribe!!
How about the Calico, CA ghost town?
Dodge City, KS?
Deadwood?
Any you can do would be appreciated!!
Thanks!!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Check out my other old west stuff. Tell us what you think and thanks for watching!
I love Dodge City, and after Tombstone...I would love to see Calico!
good video the historical society should rebuild the grant hotel on its original site.
They’d just have to be sure to add toilets. 😎
FYI...smoking is allowed in the American Legion on 2nd and Allen. Although, I wish that smoking was not allowed.
👍nice video,
Thanks for watching!
Also it’s cool how the street isn’t paved and left somewhat original seeming
I believe it was paved at one point, but the city decided to make it a historical district and cut off traffic from Allen street. I think it was then that they covered the road with dirt for historical effect.
great vid
Thanks for watching!
So what you may or may not know. That table that has all of the historical trinkets on it at time stamp 19:44 is the actual pool table that Morgan Earp was shot on. They used to have that as a tourist piece, but they dont advertise it anymore as people used to steal pieces off of it, but it is still there.
I was not aware of that! They have a sign indicating the faro table when Holliday and Ringo had their spat. But nothing on the pool table. Thanks for that info! 👍
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures Yeah I had to go there for the 3rd time before I found out about it. Really annoys me how people have to ruin it for others by stealing pieces off something so valuable to the history of Tombstone. They used to display just like they did the faro table, but constantly parts of the table would end up missing etc. So now they just cover it up and use it as a table and dont mention it so tourist have no idea. As someone who loves the Earp stories and Tombstone, I love knowing that the table is there and still exists!!
Interesting! In my next video I’m comparing the timelines and historical accuracy of the movie Tombstone and real life. I can’t wait to put that out.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures There are a couple of videos out there comparing Tombstone and Wyatt Earp. I like them both, but obviously I like Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer better in the Doc and Wyatt roles. One thing I found interesting, really small detail about the shootout, was Doc shot and killed the horse to get at one of the Mclaurys vs in Tombstone he shoots in the air to try and startle it. The movie Wyatt Earp got that right and is exactly what I read about it in the court testimonies from the trial back then. Also the story of the ambush by Curly Bill on Wyatt. Wyatt said it was a hot day and he had his belt buckle and pants undone while on the back of his horse to keep cool. When the first shot rang out, his horse reared up and he about fell off. his pants were hanging down to his knees and he was trying to get his pants up and get his boot out of the stirrup all while being fired upon. He said it was just plain luck he never got shot. Its those little details I find oh so very interesting and of course doesnt make for a serious shot in a movie, but you can just see the reality of something like that in those times that can get lost over time.
@@sensei2121 I’ve actually never seen Wyatt Earp the movie. I need to check it out.
My question that I asked a few years ago on the ghost adventure at the Bird Cage was why do you only have the ghost thingy at night? Are the ghost not allowed to come out during the day, but only come out at night like vampires. I had the guy putting the show on laughing and the whole place rolling when I said that I do have my REAL pistol with me and that it was loaded with silver tip Winchester bullets.
Maybe you should go over to Superior and visit Mattie Blaylock Earp in the Pinal Historic Cemetery. I have been told by several people that if you are out there after midnight, and go to Matties grave that is close to the entrance...you can talk to her and then listen carefully and she will talk back to you. Now I have no personal experience with her talking to me, but that is just what many people have told me. I have only been there during the daylight hours...and always on a Goldwing motorcycle.
This link will describe in detail how to get to the Pinal Historic Cemetery... (Sorry, I didnt stop the video, but the noise that you hear is my cell phone and a call from the "war department"...aka...the wife. She was having an issue and wanted some advice/help to fix the issue. I talked her thru it and all is good in Happyville now.

Are there any places in Tombstone now that show where Wyatt Earp or his brothers lived...the jail, etc?
You can probably just use google to get the locations. The houses are no longer there.
I don't know what you use to film with I just have a go pro 3 but wow does an amazing job Another outstanding video I love the Old West stuff
I do most of it with a GoPro hero 8 and my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
And if you haven’t already check out my other old west videos. People who are into the old west really like them.
G'day Mate! Thanks for the interesting tour of Tombstone. Did you ever get to the bottom of what all the yelling and screaming was about???? Did Marshall Earp or Doc Holiday come to the rescue?????? I wish I were physically capable of travelling. I have always wanted to visit Elsworth, Wichita, Dodge and Tombstone before I die. Cheers!
Thank you for watching! We have some great content from all over the west if you’re interested. Be sure to check out our other Tombstone videos!
A group of us went to tombstone about 5 years ago. We were walking on the main strip at around dusk and I’m assuming what was a prostitute kept trying to get my husband’s attention. Mind you, my husband and I were holding hands. I was like, yes lady he’s gonna rip his hand out of mine and go running to you!! LOL
Probably a drunken tourist.
wooovvv doc holliday was watch tv in the room 1880's o k corral tombstone town on wild West 😀😂😁 👌👍 great video ı like it
Thank you for watching!
Love the tombstone tour, want to visit next year so i have a good idea of what to see and do.
But how long to stay there? 2 nights 3 nights?
Thanks
Marco The Netherlands
If you’re coming from that far away do three nights. You can probably do and see everything in two days but stay for three.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures thank you! Is there any other way i can email you or via instagram?
We’re on Facebook at Desert Sky Adventures
I've been there
hi guys,,,, i live no 20 miles from Tombstone
its a strange eerie feeling at night the witchng hour is uncanny,,,,, stand in the middle of Fore street and listen
not imagination you can hear raised voices and .44 gun shot sounds,,,, having heard this many times owner of Oriental will tell ya the same,,,,,, as a matter of interest my great uncle he delivered that piano yo can see in The Bird Cage Theatre i av documentary proof as tit authenticity,,,,,,,,,great video guys Ed
Thanks for watching!
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures Pleasure is all mine
enjoyed your tour although have been to Tombstone many a time you covered the old town very well ,,,,,,,thks,,,,,,Edwin J
26:00 Sounds like the Jerry Springer show
Lol
The Larian has a couple of purportedly haunted rooms in the older section. Specifically rooms 3 and 4! ;)
Yes I found that out after staying in them several times. Didn’t notice anything unusual.
Just stayed in Doc Holliday room 2 nights ago (room 3), my covers were tugged and my boyfriend had a cold chill go over him when nowhere near the air-conditioner. We didn't know until I read about the room just before going to bed.
I believe Tombstone was filmed at Old Tucson Studios
Corrext
What book were you reading? I’m looking for some good books on Tombstone
This is an old video…I don’t remember. However, I’m currently reading the tombstone mysteries by WC Jameson.
Oh Yuck, they paved the streets pthhht
Allen Street is still dirt.
It's so commercialized. Hate all that traffic going by. The only thing I'd want to see is the Bird Cage Theater. I had a friend who worked there and you just wouldn't believe what they have in the basement...
I've been doing Old West living history and gunfight re-enactments for 13 years and have studied the "Street Fight on Fremont", as it was originally known, quite extensively. I have been to Tombstone and watched the re-enactment that's done at the gunfight site and it is one of the most inaccurate, ridiculous versions I have ever seen. I understand that it's for "show" and entertainment but one would think that they would want it to be as accurate as possible being in Tombstone.
Who is to say? Nobody knows for sure.
Any of these shops handicap accessible?
I believe they are. If you have a wheelchair, you might need a little help getting up the little bump onto the boardwalks. But they run the length of Allen Street so once you’re on the boardwalks you should be good.
Neat Eck usmc
I know Tombstone.
I know you do!
26:00 maybe I don't want to visit. lol
Was that a legit fight....or a reenactment? Lol
Turns out it wasn’t a fight. Just some drunken lady screaming like a banshee.
It's pronounced (CHEF-LYNN) not shyflin
Yes I know. This gets addressed in another video. 👍
Wow they took the old west out of the main focus how sad. You should have gone 20yrs ago.
Who’s they? I assure you the old west is still the main focus.
If your going to walk the streets of Tombstone your in for a hike since todays Tombstone is not the original site of Tombstone, but a tourist destination with a couple of original buildings that were moved to new location. I was terribly disappointed when I was working in SW NM and planned a visit to Tombstone until coworkers told me it wasnt the original site.
False. Your coworkers are wrong.
No Sir ! I was there in 1994 and The Saloon has been remodeled. Everything appears to be like Disneyland now. When I was there Everything looked rustic and antiquated
Still does. 👍
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures Big Nose Kate Saloon looks like Disneyland. It was very rustic back in the day. The owner should try to restore the old look and atmosphere. I went to Tombstone frequently for the old wild west atmosphere
Call the owner and tell him that. I don’t get your argument here.
Ler her talk.
???
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures Your wife is just sort of there. Let's hear from her too.
@@lhasaroadrat9374 she’s still a bit camera shy and this is an older video. She’s coming around though.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures glad to hear it- she seems pretty cool
enough of the room , what about the dark haired beauty ?
That’s my wife.
