Jerome Arizona

“Wickedest Town in the West” ~ Jerome Arizona is a Ghost Hunters paradise. There is a story, a sighting, or an experience around every corner, and one other fact that will blow you away ~ everybody believes!

You’ll find believers in most haunted spots, but you also find some doubters. In most haunted places you find cynics, but not in Jerome. Even among the people who “never saw one myself” there were no cynics. One local said simply, “you live here long enough, you’ll believe”.

We stayed 3 days, and could easily have spent 3 months. The Ghost Hunting is the best you will ever find, the people are all angels (spirits?) and the food is heaven!

It wasn’t always so pleasant. Jerome was once an evil hell hole that tore human souls to rags.

Not in your average torturous Salem Witch Hunt sort of way, but in new, more colorful, Please God No! sort of ways.

It was bloody freaking hell! But why?

The town was filled with sulfur smoke (the smelly smoke from matches is sulfur smoke) for years and years. This acrid, poisonous smoke made people sick, depressed, angry and murderous.

Sure there were shootings and hangings and other run of the mill western death, but there was also acid in your face, and broken necks, and people parked under descending elevators

Life in Hell ~ and it drove them to the bar, the brothel and the Asylum in herds.

So why not leave?

Money, that’s why ~ even though one copper mine was on fire, the other mines were in business, so while daily explosions were felt attempting to blow out the mine fire, other mines were making money.

The town literally choked to death on sulfur fumes and money together.

So the townspeople worked, and drank whiskey, and partied, and killed each other, and killed themselves, and went crazy.

Explosions caused buildings to collapse, but the town jail was too sturdy to collapse, so it just slid a tiny bit during each explosion, so now it’s 180 feet downhill of where it started.

They call it the “sliding jail”, clever.

Jerome deserves our best effort, and we are working like the devil to have it up by Halloween, be sure to visit, we promise you will love it, even if it gives you nightmares!

Hey, that’s our job, right!

Ghost haunts Utah Museum?

Is Utah Pioneer Museum haunted?

A ghostly image seen on a surveillance camera has some wondering if Utah’s Pioneer Memorial Museum is haunted.

The Utah Department of Public Safety has even been asked to investigate, but museum officials are staying quiet — only adding to the mystery.

“The state prefers that we do not discuss that,” Daughters of Utah Pioneers President Bette Barton said when contacted by the Deseret Morning News on Tuesday.

Authorities said the specter of what appears to be a woman’s face first appeared in the early morning hours of Oct. 10, when security officers first noticed motion on the video monitors. The Utah Highway Patrol, whose troopers provide security for the state Capitol, went to investigate.

“We saw it on our security cameras,” UHP Sgt. Jeff Nigbur said.

The DUP said in a statement that the image lingered in front of the surveillance camera for about five minutes, but as soon as an officer arrived to investigate, the image vanished. The trooper found no sign of life in the museum.

Since then, the UHP said the ghostly face has re-appeared several times.

“We did see it three or four nights out of a seven- or eight-day period,” Nigbur said. “We have made efforts to go check this out. We’ve moved things around.”

They’ve also cleaned the camera’s lens and checked to make sure it’s functioning properly.

The image only comes at night, when the room is dark. Some speculate it’s a reflection, because there’s a lot of glass in the gift shop. It recently disappeared again when more items were moved around, troopers said.

The Utah Pioneer Memorial Museum is not the only local building that’s supposedly haunted. Web sites for Utah-based ghost hunters say the pioneer village of Old Deseret is haunted by one of Brigham Young’s wives, Fort Douglas has been haunted by a ghost nicknamed “Clem” and a raven-haired woman in blue stalks the Rio Grande Depot.

The State Capitol Preservation Board, which oversees the museum, said it would not talk about any ghosts.

“Whether it’s a ghost or a reflection, it’s a good Halloween story,” Nigbur said.
