Visit two of the most haunted places in Arizona when you embark on this getaway to Jerome - the "Wickedest Town in the West." Start with a meal at the Haunted Hamburger, where apparitions appear in photos and ghosts steal tools from staff members. Then, spend the night at the notorious Jerome Grand Hotel, where an estimated 9,000 people died when it was a hospital for mine workers. Are you brave enough to take on this terrifying trip?
Our ghostly adventure begins at Haunted Hamburger, where it's Halloween year-round.
In addition to the skeletons hanging from the exterior, the inside atmosphere is equally as spooky.
You'll see lots of décor items that have a gothic look about them - almost as if they belong in a Victorian castle rather than a restaurant.
The menu boasts all sorts of scary good eats, from several different kinds of burgers to ribs and fish and chips.
While you eat, keep an eye out for anything unexplained, as both employees and guests have experienced paranormal activity.
Disappearing hammers, doors slamming shut, and even the apparition of a woman appearing in photos are all phenomena that have allegedly taken place in the restaurant.
Feeling frazzled? Calm your nerves with some chocolate cake and a side of sweeping Verde Valley views.
Let the (scary) good times roll as we make our way to the Jerome Grand Hotel, one of the most notoriously haunted places in Arizona.
A former hospital for mine workers, this 100-year-old building has seen its fair share of tragedy, with an estimated 9,000 deaths occurring on the property.
Spookiness aside, the hotel is truly beautiful, filled with antique furnishings and plenty of fascinating history.
Whether you stay in a standard guest room or the 2,000-square-foot Grand Suite, you're in for an unforgettable evening.
Once you're all checked in and settled, take some time to explore. Even if you're staying on the ground floor, you'll want to take a ride in the self-service elevator.
It's the oldest elevator of its kind in the state, and in the 1930s, the hotel's maintenance man was found pinned beneath it, deceased.
Many people think the worker's untimely death was actually a homicide, as the elevator was in perfect working order.
His restless spirit is said to wander the halls to this day - and it isn't the only ghost rumored to haunt the building. If you're brave enough, ask to stay in Room 32 - it's a supposed paranormal hotbed.
As scary as the hotel's history may be, it's hard to deny the beauty of this view.
