About the event

"History & Haunts", Ghosts of old Mesilla! Aug. 23rd & 20th Sept.
History & Haunts, Old Mesilla Ghost Tour, August 23rd. & Sept. 20th!
Join us on this very popular walking Ghost Tour!
Step back in time when you walk the evening streets of the old Mesilla Plaza.
Founded in 1848, this sleepy Mexican town was once surrounded by the unruly waters of the Rio Grande, as well as being located in Mexico in its early frontier days!
The towns people eventually built acequias and levees to contain the restless Rio and the Gadson Purchase located the old West Town back inside the US territory.
The town has seen a very diverse history of peoples, from Mexican farmers, pioneer families, freighters, merchants and the wild west outlaws and gunmen, to raiding Apache's and even the confederate troops stationed in Mesilla from 1861-1862.
All have left an indelible mark on the sleepy village by the Rio Grande, and some individuals have never left!
Venture out with our guide and take a leisurely evening walking tour by lantern, through the old Plaza.
Your guide will recount some of the intriguing history of the old shops surrounding the Plaza, as well as the paranormal activity associated with the old storefronts and former Dram shops.
Your guide will be the professional paranormal investigator, Ramiro from PRI, (Paranormal Research Investigations), that have done many investigations throughout the Plaza and Double Eagle, La Posta and most of the old Plaza store fronts!
The tour will conclude back at the Plaza bleachers while the guide finishes up the ghost stories on the Plaza.
If space permits, we might visit inside one of the restaurants to finish the ghost story telling.
