Taps visit the Birdcage Theater, which used to be a drinking and burlesque hall and is the only original building remaining in Tombstone. People who visit and work there say they have heard sounds and voices.
I wasn’t very convinced that the Ghost Hunters found anything at Tombstone.
While exploring backstage, Jason and Grant hear cards being shuffled and a hard rubber ball being bounced. They hear an iron gate open in another room; when they go to investigate, Grant sees a shadow but isn’t sure what it is. When they check out a noise backstage they both see a shadow pass in front of a window and hear shuffling sounds again.
We didn’t get to hear the cards being shuffled so I don’t know what it was. The bouncing to me sounded like someone outside throwing rocks on top of the roof.
But one thing they did have that was interesting was some of the audio. On part of some audio you can hear calliope music that they didn’t hear during the investigation.
Other than that I didn’t see anything that would convince me that it was haunted. But then, I’m not a Ghost Hunter.

I’m from Tucson and I’ve been to the Birdcage several times and haven’t seen, heard or photographed anything strange… and I wasn’t looking for ghosts either. I think it’s all fabricated for the tourists.

I saw that episode of TAPS, as a matter of fact I am watching TAPS now, again at Tombstone, ( OK Corral). In the episode at the Birdcage, they got a shot of some wire beig lifted from around a bell that was on the wall.

Catching paranormal activity is difficult at best on film. Many times it looks faked. It is a serious endeaver and the characters of the film crew did not seem to be that serious or acted for the purpose of the common viewer. Having “caught” some unexplainable occurances on film–it just happens and only when you view the film do you actually see something that noone can explain…
