About
While visiting Jerome, Arizona, you will definitely want to include a Haunted Tour in “The Wickedest Town in the West.” Jerome was a near ghost town of 50 inhabitants for many years, once the mines closed. Visitors often come to Jerome to experience glimpses into the past.
On this 2 hour walking tour, your guide will meet you at the New State Motor Company at 110 main street, one of Jerome’s most historic buildings and Museum. We will then equip you with EMF readers and flashlights, and lead you to haunted locations and take you to sites that were formerly the scene of gambling, murder, prostitution and other acts of mayhem or historical significance. Be sure to bring your cell phone with cameras, as you are very apt to capture orbs, streaks, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) and other surprising possible paranormal phenomenon.
