Haunted Mining Town
During the turn of the century, thousands of miners flocked to this boomtown to seek fortune. After the copper mine was depleted, all but one hundred of the miners left.
Today, the community is a haven for artists, and has been designated a historical landmark.
Ghosts in the town include that of a prostitute that resides in the building now called “Spook Hall.” In the Old Episcopal Church on Cleopatra Hill, a white, misty sprit of unknown origin has been spotted on numerous occasions. In the Old Company Clinic, the ghosts of the influenza epidemic of 1917 are said to reside.
stupid!

In Jerome, also, ghosts reside in the old hospital building, now the Grand Hotel, and the hotel downtown. The cribs in Husbands’ Alley are said to be haunted as well.

I went there in 1979 and took a picture (still have it) of a closed mine shaft. There is a plume of smoke coming out of it, maybe it’s a ghost? LOL

Used to live close by ~ If you ever get a chance, this is a cool place to visit. A ton of history and ghost stories. Ask on of th locals about the guillitin, or the people that were killed in the hospital that still haunt it today. Jerome was also the original state capital, it was later moved to Prescott then finally to Phoenix.

i was raised in az and my family used to travel all over the state on the weekends. jerome is my favorite town cuz it is on a mountain side, literally and has these cool old houses and buildings. i haven’t been there in 10 yrs, but the last time i was it still had that “stepping back in time” sort of feel about it, like nothing had changed since the day it was built. it is a cool little place to check out and go on a motorcycle if u can and aren’t afraid of heights on the way up. the view is amazing. some kind herb might be nice to take along 2.

This story is really stupid. I’m sorry, but it is.

I grew up in Cottonwood Az.,
And as a teenager in the 70’s we used to always go up to Jerome. Many times we experienced weird things.

I really don’t think this story is true. I just tink it’s a bunch of hooplah.I’m sorry but it’s untrue.
Comment by Tiffany | 10.22.2006 | 3:34 pm
Yo homie, this story is crappier than my moms toilet. Yo, my can of soup moved all by itself one time, that doesn’t make it haunted. My Grammy died when she fell of her milking stool. that doesn’t mean her milkin’ stool is haunted

I stayed in the Jerome hotel on a class field trip for my TV productions class. I was skeptical at first, but we saw some creepy ****. Got a lot on tape too. Including voices, shadows casted in the dark, and movement, as well as light from restricted areas of the hotel we stayed at, which is a renovated hospital. I don;t really believe in ghosts and paranormal activity, but I can not explain what happened there, or at the abandoned school at the bottom of the mountain.

I went to Arizona for a summer a year ago and on my trip i went to jerome. It was kind of creepy feeling untill i went into the hotel and i saw something running up the stairs.. it scared me a lot. but not in a bad way.
Comment by Jenni | 07.30.2007 | 6:43 pm
I knew a couple of people that worked at the Grand. They acknowledged the presence the paranormal…The bartender even saw a full body ghost walking through the bar late at night…Its got a great history of bad things happening. There was something about the roof of the hospital collapsing and killing a bunch of people as well…What I wanna know is does anybody know the name of the resort in Sedona that was built on top of an Indian burial ground..I think it was Enchantment but I can’t remeber…Now that place had some freaky ghost stories…I talked to a couple of people that worked there and they didn’t want to say anything about it…There was something about a particular cabin having extra activity in it, something about the walls bleeding and hearing chants in the middle of the night…Fill me in if you know anything about it.

Of all the times I’ve been to Jerome, I’ve always wanted to stay in the old school. There are a few basketball players still playing in the gym. Because when this school was up & running, there was an away game that some students went on. But on returning home to Jerome, their bus got into an accident and lost a majority of their basketball players.
Comment by Annie | 10.27.2007 | 11:59 am
I’m Wiccan. I’ve been to Jerome. There is no evil there, just a few lost souls and they are among the living. It’s a bit of a sad place, but not haunted.
Blessed be.
