About this Event

Dark Secrets of Pullman: A Tour of Tragedy and Mystery

From its earliest days, Pullman Town has been haunted by tragedy. Beneath its model-city façade lurked stories of fiery train wrecks, gruesome surgeries, mysterious deaths, and chilling murders—each one a dark chapter in America’s past.

Step into the shadows and uncover the forgotten headlines that once gripped the nation. Walk the streets where fortune and misfortune collided, where ambition met untimely ends, and where the ghosts of history still whisper their tales.

This immersive tour peels back the polished veneer of Pullman to reveal the grim reality of life, death, and the pursuit of the American dream. If you have a taste for true crime, unsolved mysteries, and the eerie echoes of history, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.

⚠️ Intended for mature audiences. Parental discretion is advised.

Tickets are limited—reserve yours now and step into the darker side of Pullman.
