The Buford House
This two-story adobe was raised in 1880 by George Washington Buford, an early Tombstone settler who made his mining fortune, and over the years it wore many faces — boarding house, home, bed-and-breakfast — and reportedly once put up John Wayne. Three of Buford's children are said to have died young inside its walls, their playful spirits still felt.
The most cited haunting traces to a later shooting, when a resident gunned down a woman named Petra Edmunds outside the house before killing himself; his angry spirit is blamed for targeting female guests. Visitors report the doorbell ringing near 3 a.m. with no one there, footsteps, faucets and lights flicking on and off, and an unseen hand brushing women's hair.
It closed as a bed-and-breakfast around 2020 but remains a noted haunted landmark.
