Pueblo Ghost Tour at the Weisbrod Aircraft Museum
This is a paranormal night tour set among the parked warbirds of an aircraft museum on decommissioned military grounds, where guides hand out EMF detectors and flashlights. The big draw is climbing into a medical rescue aircraft that once carried wounded soldiers, where visitors report apparitions of fallen servicemen. Tours run on the first Saturday of each month at 8pm and routinely sell out.
The story
During World War II, the Pueblo Army Air Base operated as a major heavy bomber training ground, churning out crews who flew missions over Europe and the Pacific. The city took over the property in 1949 and eventually turned the site into the Weisbrod Aircraft Museum, filling the old hangars and tarmac with dozens of retired warbirds. But according to museum staff and paranormal investigators, a few of the airmen who trained or bled in these craft never quite departed.
The centerpiece of the monthly lock-in is a dark climb into a medical rescue aircraft that once ferried wounded soldiers from battlefields. Inside the narrow, cold-metal fuselage, guides hand out flashlights and chirping EMF detectors. Visitors regularly report sudden drops in temperature, static anomalies, and sightings of uniform-clad phantoms standing near the litters where injured men once lay.
What it's like
You pull up to 31001 Magnuson Ave in the pitch black, where the giant silhouettes of silent fighter jets and bombers loom on the former air base grounds. Guides hand you a flashlight and a handheld meter before taking your group inside the darkened hangars and parked aircraft. It's an actual ghost hunt rather than a staged jump-scare attraction, so expect quiet, atmospheric pacing and real cold drafts inside the metal fuselages. Book well ahead for the 8 p.m. first-Saturday slot, as capacity is limited and tickets routinely sell out.
The move: Take the 8pm lock-in tour, split a pair of EMF detectors, and hunt for cold spots inside the darkened medevac plane together.
