The Bird Cage Theater is a tourist attraction that provides a glimpse of life in the Old West days of Tombstone. It's a time capsule dating back to 1881 and at one time hosted numerous touring acts. It's hosted patrons like Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and George Hearst. On this adventure, we take a trip back in time.

On this episode, we visit one of our favorite attractions in the historic town of Tombstone, AZ: The Birdcage Theatre.

Originally opened in 1881, this theater has seen a lot over the years, starting with more civilized entertainment, to more rowdy fun.

Evidence of rowdier times is riddled all over the building. For example, you can see a reported 140 bullet holes, the faro table where Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo had their famous duel, the remains of a poker game that went on for many years and had a $1000 buyin, as well as the famous Black Moriah, the hearse that delivered all but six bodies to the many buried at the worldfamous Boothill Cemetery.

The Birdcage Theatre is part museum, part paranormal attraction. Roaming this very old building, you will get a sense of its oldness. From the rickety original floors where many famous men like Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Curly Bill Brocius once walked, to the musty, dusty smells revealing the antiquity of this building, you will be immersed in history through all of your senses.

No wonder this place is reported to be haunted. Of course, we at the Cactus Atlas are very skeptical about the paranormal, but we do enjoy haunted history, and this location delivers it in spades.

Watch as we attempt to communicate with the spirits in the main part of the theater and see if we have any luck. Who knows, perhaps in one of the frames in this video, evidence of the afterlife will materialize. Please let us know if you see or hear anything suspicious on our video!

When you enter the famous Birdcage Theatre, you will be greeted by a friendly and informative presentation about the theater and some of its history. They will tell you about some of the artifacts present in the main lobby, including an original bar and cash register, left in its original state, as well as some other interesting artifacts such as original show posters.

If you ask one of the hosts about experiences with ghosts, chances are they will tell you some interesting stories. I know we heard a thing or two on our visit that got our attention!

At this point, you will have paid nothing to view the main lobby and can choose to leave. They will not pressure you and will be gracious for you having stopped by. At this point, you can choose to pay a fee to do a selfguided tour of the building. That is what we do in this video, and you can watch and see what we thought and decide if the selfguided tour is for you.
