New Mexico is home to some of the oldest places in the country, which means spooky tales are sure to follow. Historic locations—like Albuquerque’s Old Town—are eerie enough at night. But combine that hushed environment with some chilling historic accounts and you’ve probably found yourself in the middle of a ghost walk hosted by ABQ Tours.
