Concordia Cemetery isn’t just old. It’s ancient. Established in 1856 and home to over 60,000 buried souls, this historic landmark in Central El Paso has been the focus of ghost tours, graveyard investigations, and urban legends for decades. But one rumor stands above the rest: that somewhere on these haunted grounds lies a literal gateway to Hell.
And if you’re willing to part with 25 bucks, you can go find it yourself.
Where Is El Paso’s Hell’s Gate and Why Do People Think It’s Haunted?
El Paso’s Paso Del Norte Paranormal Society offers regular ghost tours of the cemetery, and every October they crank it up a notch with special “Haunted History” tours. The centerpiece of this spooky trek? A site known as “Hell’s Gate,” a mysterious area near the old railroad tracks where visitors claim to feel a strange pull. In more scientific terms, it’s a “paranormal vortex.” Some say it messes with your internal compass. Others say it’s just a weird breeze.
If that wasn’t enough, some visitors have reported hearing ghostly hoofbeats and children laughing in the dark. Which, let’s be honest, are probably the two most terrifying sounds you could hear in a graveyard. Tour guides have claimed they’ve seen shadows darting between headstones and mysterious mists rising from the infant section of the cemetery. Is it paranormal activity or just El Paso’s dust playing tricks again?
