Experience the haunted history of Madrid, New Mexico, on this self-guided audio tour. Once a thriving coal-mining town, Madrid is now an iconoclastic artistic village, but its past lingers in the form of ghostly residents. Discover tales of the frightened red-headed girl seen in a basement, the predatory spirit known as The Croucher, and the infamous "Death Stairs" at the town's most haunted house. Visit eerie hotspots like the Mine Shaft Tavern, where good, bad, and pure evil linger, and Java Junction, where the upstairs is always “occupied.” Learn why the Engine House Theater is the heart of the town’s supernatural disturbances. As you explore, you’ll also encounter landmarks like the historic general store, the Coal Miners Museum, and local galleries showcasing Madrid’s artistic revival. Immerse yourself in the ghostly tales and eerie encounters at the very locations where they happened, and decide for yourself what to believe about Madrid's haunting history.
