The experience

Goodsprings is a former mining town that gained fame on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures. You'll meet your guide and head straight to the Pioneer Saloon, where dinner comes first (sandwiches, chips and soft drinks), while your guide walks you through the building's haunted history. The saloon itself is the main attraction, with legends of a gunshot victim and an old miner still present. After eating, you'll receive ghost-hunting equipment and learn how to operate the instruments before the hunt begins.

The evening takes you through abandoned buildings scattered around town and into the local cemetery, where your guide shares chilling tales tied to the spirits said to linger there. You're not watching a demonstration. You're holding the equipment and searching for activity yourself. The uneven terrain means closed-toe shoes are essential, and layers help with the desert climate swings between day and night.

Transportation from Las Vegas is included, so you don't arrange the drive out or back. The whole experience (dinner, equipment, guide and transport) runs 3.5 hours, which fits into an evening without eating into the next day's plans.

Is this one for you?This is a shared tour with a professional guide leading the group, so you follow the hunt rather than plan it yourself: suited to anyone curious about the paranormal but wanting someone experienced to interpret what the equipment picks up and to navigate the cemetery and ruins safely. If you prefer to ghost hunt on your own terms, a private option would give you the equipment and the saloon, but this shared format keeps the cost down and adds the guide's knowledge of local spirits and the town's mining history.
