Welcome To Palm Springs's #1 Rated Ghost Tour

You have arrived at the sought-after Southern California resort city where dreams are too often cut short in the cold desert night and agonizing wails from tormented spirits echo underneath the starry sky.

Between The Sheets

The old-world sensibilities of the city’s Spanish architecture lure thousands of visitors to Palm Springs each year. The ones who found no reason to leave are hidden behind the modern contrast of the city’s twinkling lights. 

Journey with Palm Springs Ghosts to the Triada Palm Springs, where Hollywood celebrities once took a respite from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. For some, it acted as a meeting place where lustful thoughts could flourish. So, who are the two souls that now ruffle the sheets and more than a few feathers in the afterlife? 

Palm Springs Ghosts reveals the sordid story of the famous blond bombshell and aviator playboy who now haunts the old Spanish Inn. They are two among many who found everlasting relief within Hollywood’s “two-hour rule.”

What Will I See?

Visit Palm Springs’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:

• Triada Palm Springs –  Playful movements between the sheets have been reported in this 1939 inn that once hosted some of Hollywood’s biggest names in the first half of the 20th Century. Many never checked out, and the cleaning staff have the stories to prove it. Amarous love affairs still bubble up underneath the old-world aesthetics of Triada Palm Springs. 

• Palm Canyon Theatre – A former school turned theatre that the wife of early settler Prescott T. Stevens haunts early in the morning. The unlucky few who witness Mrs. Stevens are wrought with both fear and a sense of comfort in this 1920s building. Down the streets sits a home where a bloody triple homicide took place. 

• Walk of the Stars Palm Springs – Names of the rich and famous who have called Palm Springs home line the sidewalk of downtown Palm Springs at the Walk of the Stars Palm Springs. The most glamorous of these stars, Liberace, makes his presence known from the grave in a dazzling display of spectral sights and sounds near his star. 

Teeing Off After Dark

Palm Springs is known as the Golf Capital of the World, thanks to one man’s hard work and dedication: Walter H. Morgan. The land is peppered with verdant, well-watered grass that draws in waves of players. However, few know that he still likes to check in on his favorite pastime from the other side of the veil. 

Walk with Palm Springs Ghosts to the Andreas Hotel to uncover the story of Walter H. Morgan’s ghost. A hazy apparition of a stately man in a top hat has been seen wandering the halls of the La Quinta Inn outside of town, a building he built. 

The ghost’s habit of showing up during golf tournaments has convinced more than a few staff members. Lobby room television sets flicker to static in his presence, and staff have been startled by the sound of whispering voices when he is near. Find out who joins him on a spine-tingling ghost tour of Palm Springs.

Find What You Love and Let It Kill You

Myriads of paintings have made their way through the Palm Springs Art Museum. Some carry deeper meanings than others and have left impactful stories that are still told today. Dating back to 1938, this oasis of art holds deep and troubled secrets. 

Learn why the mysteries of the Southwest naturally create pieces of work that are both as stunning as they are malevolent. What began as a drawing of a coyote and a cactus came to life before the eyes of an ambitious art student in the middle of one eerie night. Howls of this sacred beast could be heard echoing throughout the galleries. Or was it all in his mind?

Palm Springs breaks down the details of when one intern got more than he bargained for and the consequences that followed on our ghost tour of downtown Palm Springs. 

Why is Palm Springs so Haunted?

Mirages In The Mountains

Learn of the Native people and hear legendary stories of beasts and men at the Aqua Caliente Cultural Museum with Palm Springs Ghosts. Bewildering tales of might and magic are laid out in mesmerizing details that will leave you pondering more than just your next restaurant reservation. 

Before the resorts and golf clubs, the Native Cahuilla found shelter in Palm Canyon’s warm springs during the cold winter months. They called the area “Boiling Water” and left behind more than just a name. This space is home to many spirits and souls sacred to the first dwellers of this arid paradise. 

Not all these spirits are friendly, and the Banished Shaman, blamed for many deaths at Tahquitz Peak, is the most fearsome of them all. Is the demonic medicine man still playing his old tricks on humankind high up in the San Jacinto Mountains? Venture with Palm Springs Ghosts and unearth this treasure trove of legends on a spine-tingling walk through downtown Palm Springs. 

Wild Horses Forever

Palm Springs and Joshua Tree have attracted renegading rebels and vicious vixens since it was founded in 1938, from the famous to the infamously wicked. One such soul, Rock and Roller Gram Parsons of the Flying Burrito Brothers, drew his last breath in a small hotel inside the National Park. 

Gather around Frances Stevens Park as Palm Springs Ghosts describes the numerous disturbances in his old room at the Joshua Tree Inn, where jewelry often goes missing and reappears some hours later in odd places.

It appears Parsons’s ghost moved with the building when it was relocated. One piece of furniture from Room 8 remained in the haunted room. And now the bathroom sink and its adjoined mirror shake and rattle when pretty women are nearby. 

Wander into the unknown with Palm Springs Ghosts to hear the unbridled truth behind the life and afterlife of this prolific singer/songwriter.

Palm Springs is a magical place—there is no doubt about it. But at the Walk of Stars, this notion becomes a reality.
