Bird Cage Theatre, Tombstone
Located in Southern Arizona, Tombstone was a silver-mining boomtown that once housed the most notorious cowboys and law-enforcers of the country. The town remains standing as a true testament of Western life, and visitors can roam the area where gun duels and saloons existed. Yet beyond the living who visit, there are some locals who reside within the oldest buildings in the area. The Bird Cage Theatre, a well known saloon in its day, has been reported by hundreds of visitors to be haunted by the ghosts of cowboys, gamblers and dancers who still sing and talk in the deserted rooms. www.sgha.net/az
