Haunted Hotels, Bars & Inns
Bird Cage Theatre
The Bird Cage Theatre, one of few original buildings left in Tombstone, boasts as many as 31 ghosts.
In its heyday, the Bird Cage was the wildest place in the Wild West.
The Bird Cage is named after 13 small cribs that hang from the ceiling, where
ladies sat like finely feathered birds in cages. Twenty dollars would buy
a gentleman a bottle of whiskey and a lady of the evening.
