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!

Waverly Hills Sanitorium

In this scary asylum lies one of the scariest haunts in Scareo history.

In the 1840s this massive structure was made from wood and had only 2 floors including its basement, but after many deaths, and insane people, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium was built up to 4 floors, made from solid rock and concrete to help keep the crazies inside.

Although the sanatorium hasn’t held a prisoner for many years, people say they still walk through the hallways of the building, disturbances include scary noises, shadows, full body apparitions, footsteps, and everything else.

Nearly 60,000 people died in this asilum and most of them are still there today.

Haunted Fairfield Utah, Camp Floyd

Fairfield Utah (50 miles south of Salt Lake City) is a haunted place with many haunted locations such as:

The Fairfield inn (also called the stage coach) is a museum now, that the Pony Express used in addition to the Army, Camp Floyd is now a place that still remains an attraction for tourists with many artifacts still untouched. The camp had 3500 soldiers, over 1/3 of the United States army at that time. They were there to fight the “Mormon Rebellion” which never happened the troops were all called back to fight the Civil War

Some people say that the owner of the Fairfield inn still haunts the old place, we’re not sure exactly how the man died but his soul still rests in the house as if he still lives there. One day when he was cleaning his shotgun in the upstairs bedroom he accidentally pulled the trigger and blew a hole right through the wall and across the room and through the other wall! This hole still remains and we have a picture of it below. There are also voices recorded quit frequently.
