One of Arizona’s most famous haunted spots wasn’t originally built as a hotel… 👀🏨
The Jerome Grand Hotel first opened in 1926 as the United Verde Hospital, serving the booming mining town of Jerome.
After the hospital closed, the building sat vacant for years before eventually reopening as a hotel overlooking the Verde Valley.
Today, it’s known just as much for its ghost stories as its history.
Guests and employees have reported things like:
👣 Footsteps in empty hallways
💡 Lights and TVs turning on by themselves
🚪 Doors opening with no one around
🛗 And an elevator that seems to have a mind of its own
That elevator? It’s the original 1926 Otis elevator and is still operating today.
Whether you believe the stories or not… spending the night in a nearly 100-year-old former hospital is enough to creep a lot of people out.
Would you stay here for a night? 👀
