Staying the Night at the Haunted Jerome Grand Hotel - Famous Ghost Town in Arizona!

[@Adornments4U]

When my kids were little we use to roller skate on the 3rd floor of the then Jerome Hospital. I love our memories living in a Jerome 70's,~20005... Folks from around the world discovered Jeromes interesting unique shops, and Restaurants all thru the years, we lived there.

We just stayed in Room 40 last night. We did experience some things. My wife saw the door know turn and thought it was me but I was on another floor looking for some paranormal activity. When we went to bed, I felt like a small animal stepping around my feet. I did hear there was a cat that Haunts the hotel. We did eat at the Haunted Hamburger and it was really good

Great video, what memories! I love this haunted hotel. So here's my ghost story about my experience. It's pretty crazy. Most hotels are booked on my birthday (Feb. 13th) due to Valentines Day, but we ended up in Jerome. (My first time there) So Philip the desk guy was there and he said all the rooms were taken, but while we were standing there, someone called and cancelled! Anyway, Philip was telling us history about the hotel etc. So we went up the Otis elevator and the minute I entered the elevator, I got a stabbing pain in my head, I thought oh great, it's my birthday and I'm getting a migraine! I had to sit down on the bench in the elevator. So Philip had given us a video to watch (Unexplained Mysteries, featuring the Jerome Grand Hotel) so they proceed to mention in the video that the old maintenance man (Claude Harvey) had his head crushed by the elevator! I think I had picked up on that!! So we decide to go to get food (the restaurant was closed) we were in the room and I told my boyfriend we should watch "Somewhere in Time" and I called Philip at the front desk and asked about the movie, and he said "OMG Get down here right now!" we did and he showed up the brochure for the hotel "The Jerome Grand, the "Somewhere in Time" Hotel" Philip looked at me and said "you're definitely going to have an experience here. Anyway we really hit it off with Philip. He said sadly the movie is rented, but we could go check out other movies. I opened a different door where the movies where, and the only movie in the drawer was "Somewhere in Time" lol Then we bought some postcards and Philip freaked out again at my change (1 cent) which at the time I didn't realize that it was the same date from the penny in Somewhere in Time that sent Richard Collier back to the future (I still have the penny taped in my scrapebook!) It was years later that I ran to the scrapebook and checked the date of the penny and had to laugh. Also in the movie when Richard looks at the pocket watch the time is 11:20 and when we looked at our clock in the room it was 11:20 lol Long story short. Our room was beautiful and spacious and had a double balcony that overlooked the valley. And the next morning when we woke up it had snowed and the view from the balcony was incredible! We did a seance in the bathroom and the candle blew out and we heard a door slam in the living room. We roamed the halls at all hours. Philip took photos with us sitting behind the front desk at the old phone operating system. We heard a lot of crazy noises in our room. The photo of me at the bench at The Haunted Hamburger came back from being developed (before cell phones) and it had a large white object sitting by me. When it was time to leave the next day, Philip told me to call and he'd send me a copy of the Unexplained Mysteries. A month later I called the hotel and asked for Philip, they said no one named Philip worked there, in fact no males had been front desk clerks ever...I got goose bumps and when we got those photos back, in all the photos with Philip at the old phones, he's not in them!! I stayed at The Jerome Grande, two more times and the third time, my boyfriend and I had horrible nightmares about being in an insane asylum. We tossed and turned and had cold sweats all night. I would definitely visit again but not sleep there. If anyone else had any Philip desk clerk experiences please comment lol

[@riehelm745]

Just so you know, it was never an insane asylum. They do have the Asylum restaurant there, but the United Verde Hospital was a hospital. Not for mental patients but I'm sure they had quite a few.

Great video! I have been to Jerome twice and I have to say, it’s one of my favorite small towns. My mom and dad are actually going back this September for their 40th anniversary!

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

Thanks, it’s a fun town! Happy Anniversary!

[@lorascelsi8102]

How cool this still stands. History matters. Old Jerome love this place ❤

[@jenapurr22]

We stayed here about 10 yrs ago. A big group of us on the second floor. Two of the rooms(one was mine) the doors would be wide open every time we'd come back to the room. So they moved us to the first floor and it stopped. At night people cough in their sleep. You can hear it in the hallways late at night. On the tour we were all in the surgery room listening to the guide and the double doors started to move then just one side opened all the way. Needless to say it spooked us a bit. If you wander around from 1am to 4am you'll hear a lot of weird stuff going on. We heard what sounded like a metal cart with metal pans rattling down the hall. But when you get to that floor it stops and nothings there. I thought it was a pretty cool stay. I have some great pics and videos from it. My parents, not so much. LOL I'd go back, but they have no desire it spooked them. And my dad didn't believe in that stuff, it changed his mind.

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

@@jenapurr22 Wow I need to go back, sounds like you experienced a lot of activity!

[@jenapurr22]

YES thats one of the rooms the door was always open if we left and came back! It freaked us all out so they moved us. LOL 32 and the one down the hall on the same side too! I don't know how it kept opening when it was locked with a key. We didn't want it happening while we were trying to actually sleep. Which I think I only got 3 hrs anyway. OH and the Jute box is new. I don't remember that. The fancy door room was the chapel. The part with the elevator I actually stood where zac B did. looks like its zoned off now. The original story was it was a maintenance man was killed. I think they beefed it up for TV and tourists. LOL OH and those little doors on the walls are like little pulley systems. probably for urine samples and such. Pretty much every floor has them.

[@jenapurr22]

@@GetmeouttahereErik Yeah.. try to stay in room 32 once! LOL I'm planning another trip. Also Tombstone was a blast I want to go back there too!

[@michellerene951]

I loved your video! I almost moved there last year. I have been so fascinated by Jerome for a while now. 🥰

[@JustinSpeer]

Great video, Erik! Appreciate it. Jerome, AZ is the real deal- especially the Jerome Grand Hotel. I just stayed their for the first time last month with a buddy of mine. We did a Haunted Arizona road trip, taking a loop around the entire state and staying in the most haunted hotels. But out of all of them, the Jerome Grand was head and shoulders above the rest as far as having the creepy factor. I actually saw a shadow figure when I was walking between the Clubhouse and the Jerome Grand Hotel. I've been ghost hunting for 25+ years and never had a ghost sighting until my visit to the Jerome Grand Hotel, and I've been to some of the world's most haunted places- Greyfriar's Kirkyard in Edinburgh Scotland, Mary's King Close, Gettysburg, the Old Prison in St. Augustine, Florida, Prague, Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas, Skinwalker Ranch, Tower of London, etc. At the Jerome Grand Hotel, we stayed in room 26- the old X-Ray room. Kept the lights on all night!

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

Thanks! Everything about Jerome is incredible, a lot of energy in that old mining town. I definitely want to stay there again & try to capture more activity. You’ve got a great list of haunted locations under your belt! Where else did you go in Arizona on your haunted roadtrip? As far as Arizona is concerned, I’m planning to visit & film at the Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee this year as well as Tombstone, Grand Canyon Caverns, Yuma Territorial Prison, The London Bridge, Vulture Mine, Congress Hotel in Tucson, San Carlos Hotel in Phoenix, & a return visit to the Monte Vista Hotel in Flagstaff. So a number of haunted locations I want to experience & share.

[@JustinSpeer]

@@GetmeouttahereErik, in Arizona we hit: Bird Cage Theater and Big Nose Kate's in Tombstone, the Gadsden Hotel, Queen Mine tour and Copper Queen Hotel, Hotel Congress (stayed in Vince's room 220), Yuma Territorial Prison, Lutes Casino Bar & Grill, Vulture City Mine, Hassayampa Inn, Boynton Canyon vortex (Sedona area), Jerome Grand Hotel, Spirit Room bar, Hotel Monte Vista, and the Superstition Mountains (from Lost Dutchman State Park.) It was a pretty good trip for 10 days.

[@deeannlett-neal3325]

Bisbee, Arizona similar with ghosts, mine, and hills. Also fun to visit.

Always wanted to explore Jerome , I’ve been probably 3 maybe 4 times now but only ever drove through . It’s definitely on my Arizona bucket list . Love being from this state ❤

[@debrajubran613]

I have been down that mine in early 80’s My dad and his crew reopened that mine I still have pictures of myself coming out of mine I was 11 I lost my dad couple years after that Thank you for showing and giving myself great memories 😊

Wow that's amazing, that's a once in a lifetime experience. I can't imagine what it would be like working deep in the earth like that.

[@JeffStarr-n6p]

I live in Cottonwood just below the city of Jerome at the base of Mingus Mountain. I’ve seen the hotel several times and drives to Prescott and back watching this video makes me wanna go check this hotel out on the inside. It’s very fascinating and nostalgic.

[@riehelm745]

You should stop in! The staff is really good about stuff like that.

[@joyceklinkert3278]

It's been some years since I've been to Jerome. Every time we rode the Harleys up we ate lunch at the Haunted Hamburger.

[@riehelm745]

I used to go in that hotel when it was an abandoned Hospital. It was amazing. Never got to ride in the elevator cuz the power was out to the building because it was empty. Lots of noises. Dinner encounter much else but I have seen the Ghost Adventures episode where they did. I live down the hill from there.

Going down elevator in hotel is like going down lil daisy mine shaft Also we lived in view hotel in cottonwood at time

[@riehelm745]

The View Motel is still owned by the same family. I went to high school with them. Their aunt was Lucille ball.

[@TPhilth]

I stayed in room 32 twice, 7 years apart. Never saw or heard anything weird either time. They have really pulled back on the "ghost" theme as well in my second most recent visit. I missed the awful green dreary walls that are now painted a pleasant beige color. The old displays in the hotel showcased some of the old and archaic surgical tools, that now are replaced with antiques and model trains to give it more of a "old timey" theme rather , then haunted. Its a great place to visit with amazing views, but it lost some of its charm for me.

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

@@TPhilth I feel like I would have liked the old charm more too, glad they’re keeping the place in good condition, but it’s always fun when they leave some of it alone.

[@Teganandthejays]

I wish the owner kept those old surgical tools in the building even in a closed closet or something not available to the public

[@riehelm745]

One thing though - the sliding jail did not slide where it's at. As I remember, it did slide some and was in a spot that they didn't want it so they took it where it is now. If I remember right, it was a big truck that moved it , but my memory isn't what it used to be. There's a big article about it somewhere that I read. It's been a long time ago.

[@roxiehendricks1154]

Been there. Definitely haunted!

[@16maze]

Haunted hamburger wassss soooo good 😂 I was supposed to go for the burger but stayed the whole day exploring. Really unique town.

[@deniseturner1591]

That door on the 2nd floor, I believe that was an OR. The wood on the sides used to be glass. And yes the wood at the top of the doors used to be glass and the doors you could see out into the hallway under them. You could see ppl walking by.

The jump scare when dude walks by the elevator

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

@@colleb95 Sounds like a good idea 👻

[@deniseturner1591]

My husband and I stayed there, I had to explore alone because he was scared. I didn't find or see anything. Unfortunately. I left my camera on while sitting on the table, while we slept hoping there would be pictures of us sleeping. Again nothing. Walked around the streets and finally went home. Disappointed. 🤬

[@GetmeouttahereErik]

Haha too scared! My most active paranormal encounters have happened when I least expect it. I didn’t have any eerie experiences in Jerome either but definitely want to go back again, the atmosphere there is amazing.

@@riehelm745 You should take your meds. There are no gggghosts. And let's say for shits and giggles there were... why are they all from the 1800's and early 1900's, but none from the 2000's? I know why... because it's BS and in place to bring in the suckers and their dead president's.

arizona is an expensive place to live but isn't that true anywhere now? sadly so much development is making it all touristy, but that's mostly in sedona.

[@cafeAmericano]

I live in the town of cottonwood right below jerome. I love how the hotel stands on top of the place like a castle in an old medieval village. I've had the good fortune to stay there more than one night because I had a connection and I can tell you this. Nothing. Nothing haunted nothing ghostly nothing sinister. Put a whole lot of people who thought it was. However it's beautiful to look at. The views are stunning and the cafe downstairs serves great wine. Don't get me wrong. The idea of a haunted old ghost town is poetic and definitely gives a place a little bit more intrigued but there's more to it than that. People need to stop sensationalizing things and just enjoy them for what they are. That has its own magic

[@riehelm745]

I'm in Cottonwood too. Aren't we lucky?
