If you’re tired of the same old dinner-and-a-movie routine for first dates, it’s time to shake things up — and maybe even get a little spooked! At Get Ghosted, we’re all about the thrills, chills, and history that make for a first date you’ll never forget. Sure, you could swipe right and end up ghosted by the living (sigh), or you could join us and get ghosted by the dead. Sounds like a way better story, right? Here’s why a ghost tour is the perfect way to make sparks fly on your next first date:
1. Icebreakers Galore: Fear Is the Best Conversation Starter
Awkward silence? Not on our watch! Ghost tours are full of spine-tingling stories that get your heart racing and break the ice fast. When you’re strolling through Phoenix’s haunted streets, the history and hauntings give you plenty to chat about (besides the weather or how many siblings you have). Plus, when the lights flicker or something strange happens during the tour, you’ll have the perfect excuse to get a little closer. Who needs cheesy pick-up lines when you’ve got ghost stories?
2. You’ll Bond Over Shared Fears (and Laughs!)
There’s something magical about sharing a spooky experience — it creates an instant bond! Whether your date jumps at the slightest sound or bravely hunts ghosts like a pro, you’ll both be in for some serious fun. Nervous? Don’t worry, you can always hold hands when things get too spooky. And let’s be real, you’ll probably both laugh at the end, especially when you realize you were more scared of the shadows than the actual ghosts!
3. It’s a Unique Experience – No Boring Small Talk Here
First dates can sometimes feel like job interviews, right? Skip the formalities and dive straight into something unforgettable with Get Ghosted’s Haunted and Historic Tour. You’ll explore Phoenix’s most haunted spots, from the infamous Renaissance Hotel to the eerie Orpheum Theater, all while hearing about the city's spooky past. This is the kind of first date that stands out — way better than the usual “So, what do you do for work?” over overpriced drinks.
4. Get Ghosted (By the Dead, Not the Living)
We’ve all been there: you go on a date, everything seems fine, and then poof — you’ve been ghosted! But on our tour, getting ghosted is actually the goal! Our spectral residents are much more reliable than your average Tinder date. You’ll hear the chilling tales of long-gone Phoenix residents who still hang around, like Eliza Teeter, and maybe even get a message from them on the spirit box. Trust us, these ghosts won’t leave you on read!
5. End the Night with a Toast at a Haunted Speakeasy
What’s better than ghost hunting? Ghost hunting with cocktails! After we take you on a thrilling tour through Phoenix’s most haunted spots, why not keep the night going with a drink at one of downtown’s haunted speakeasies? If the ghosts don’t give you a scare, a strong drink just might! You’ll get ghosted and toasted, sharing a fun moment that’s equal parts spooky and boozy. A perfect way to end an already amazing date night.
