Jerome Arizona Ghost Town Tour

- The former boomtown of Jerome Arizona is now a famous haunted ghost town where people come from all across the state and even across the world to explore. The old Phelps Dodge city was a former mining boomtown that used to extract millions of tons of Copper Ore after World War 1. The town suffered a major setback during the Great Depression and never rebounded. With that being said the tourism industry in Jerome is picking up and has become one of the main attractions in the Verde Valley of Arizona.
The Jerome Grand Hotel is considered haunted since it was the old hospital.
People have reported seeing orbs of white light and other paranormal activity at the hotel.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Enjoyed that Jerome tour very much. Our family lived and worked in Jerome from 1975 to 1981 and established the restaurant and saloon where the Haunted Hamburger is now. It began as the dream of Phyllis Frank, our mother, who sold everything she owned and bought the building; a former old boarding house. Son, Lane, a master carpenter, converted it to her specifications including knocking out the wall on the top floor and putting in a huge window overlooking the Verde Valley far below. Living there was an unforgettable experience. The kids were little and had a magical adventure every day. There were many spooky things that happened as the narrator said. I personally had fireballs zip past my ear walking up from Main Street. Strange lights hovered over the valley and odd noises were heard in the old buildings. It was an enchanting time for us all and one we'll never forget. Definitely worth visiting. And Mingus Mountain - stupendous!
Thank you , for that lovely, personal bit of your history. 💖
Nice Little Town
ML Allen.
Where’s home now?
Surely, you got the better of that small nice city, in an even nicer point in time.
Regards.
@@robertvillarreal7055 Incredibly I'm in the UK now. Complete change from our hippie days in Jerome. Thanks.
All the cities and towns in Arizona are very different from one another. That’s what makes this state interesting and fun! You want the forest, go to Flagstaff, red rocks, go to Sedona, ghosts, go to Jerome, the big city, go to Phoenix.
Nice video.I work in Jerome as a tour guide, so i can clear up some information for you. The towns population currently is about 455 residents. The Grand Hotel was the 4th and last Hospital opened in 1927.Turned into a Hotel in 1996. Has 29 rooms currently. (the one down the street was 1917) I am also a local artist and display my work inside the House Of Joy, and inside the Tours Of Jerome office inside the New State Motor Company shops and Museum. Other Museums are the little Historic Society Museum on main street, which is only $2 a person, and the Douglas Mansion, now Museum in the State Park below. The toilets and other things to toss coins into in the lower level of the Once Bartlett Hotel (1901) raises money for the Jerome Historic Society.
What is the big white building on the top? A hospital/prison I heard alot of people passed away in that building. Been looking for videos I haven't found any of that building, can you tour it? Thanks
But is it haunted
Jason,Do you have a website where I can view your artwork?
This dude making things up
One of the coolest places anywhere. History, views, lodging, small crowds, always moderate temperatures, old school bars and restaurants, cool locals and unlimited outdoor activities in all directions. If you haven't been there yet, go see it
I moved away from AZ a few years ago. I really enjoy seeing your videos. Makes me miss AZ.
I have walked those streets many times. Thanks for the memories.
There are also over a hundred miles of mining tunnels under Jerome
I've driven through Jerome many times but never considered stopping and visiting the shops and restaurants there. What a shame.
The Caduceus Cellar, which you passed by in the video, is owned by Maynard too. Thanks for the video!
I wonder how many more people visit Jermore because he has Caduceus Cellar’s there.
I think he just had the class not to make it the main attraction. I think it was tasteful.
Dude your drone shots are a nice addition, thx!
My father was born in Jerome in 1943. My grandfather was a copper miner back then. The house they lived in was in the video.
A lovely and comprehensive view of the many charms of this mile-high town. Well worth the scary heights!
much better video on jerome than I have seen on other channels. Thank you!
First! And I love your video's, Thank you!
Loved this video! Even though I’ve seen & heard much of it before, being from Mesa, I always learn something new! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! I loved it ❤️
Crazy story I drive for a transportation company in Phoenix driving a 26ft uhaul truck and I had to deliver some tires in Cottonwood and Prescott. I drove to Cottonwood first then put the address in the GPS to head to Prescott and it gave me the option to go thru highway 89A or thru Jerome, I said f it I'll go thru Jerome.( I had never heard of Jerome) I drove up to the little town when I finally realized I had f up badly! I quickly parked and walked around to see if I could find a exit but I didn't find one. I decided to keep following my GPS and it took me thru some of the most narrow roads I have ever driven on, then my heart dropped and I saw a sign with a uhaul truck on it and it read " No commerical trucks without permit." I kept on trucking took me about an hour to get out of there when my manager called and asked where was I, i told him wat had happened he said if i were to very pulled over without a permit I would have gotten a $10,000 minimum ticket and the uhaul truck impounded.
Wow!
Lived in Glendale but would ride up 89 then turn at Prescott to 89A (alternate) and ride all the way to Flagstaff. Jerome was my favorite place to rest (next to Sedona). Of all the places I've been Arizona is the most fascinating.
My former father-in-law (who was born in Mesa, and lived for a time in Prescott) had relatives who lived in Jerome. It’s cool to actually see the town on video. Thanx! 😎👍🏻
My father in law came from Jerome too!
Another great video! We ate at the Asylum restaurant in the hotel and the food and views were great! Heard some of the creepy stories of the hospital. We need to go back there, we really missed seeing a lot of other things!
Gorgeous. It has been a long time since I visited Jerome. Can’t wait to make a return visit. Thank you for these great tours. Wishing you a super week. Stay safe. Hugs Susan
I stayed at the Jerome Grand and I was awakened in the middle of the night to what sounded like someone dropped a small piece of flatware and it bounced on a table. I woke up in the morning because my phone alarm had gone off, it was a Monday morning and I had forgotten to disable it for the day. When you check in to the hotel, they give you a key to your room and a key for the elevator. They were hanging on my purse and my phone was in it. When I reached in to take the phone out to turn it off, the keys clanged together, it was the same sound I heard in the middle of the night.
That’s horrifying! Sounds right up my alley 😂.
Whoa that’s interesting!!
My sisters friend took the tour & she said when she was in the hotel she seen a ghost in the mirror , so I definitely believe this!!!!!!!!!!!
cool tour! thanks!
I havn't been to Jerome in 30 years. Thanks for the video.
If you drive up towards Mingus Mountain, it’s scenic for sure, but keep an eye out for deer because they are all over the place and they will jump right out in front of you.
Nicely done Sir.
Excellent !!
I grew up in Jerome on 2nd street and dang... The memories brought back... Used to climb up the mountain to the "J" with my friends and play basketball on the cement court next to the House of Joy... Thank you for this video, it brought back a lot of childhood memories...
I live in the Bay Area (across from San Francisco) and really enjoy hills. Jerome looks like such a neat town. Thank you for featuring smaller towns (under 15,000) in AZ. How easy is it to buy land for a family farm. Raise my own veggies and chicken.
excellent really enjoyed
My father was born in Jerome, my grandfather was a copper miner there. I haven't seen it since we visited in an RV way back around 1969ish. The hotel looks lovely but very not-accessible for someone not-young. 'Too bad, I'd love to stay there.
Definite to visit....very nice! Love haunted!
Nice video thank you
Bravo ! Lindo esse lugar ! Thank you very much !
Yuppies and tourists have ruined what we locals called our weekend retreat...drinks at the Spirit Room and an overnight stay at the Conner Hotel...that pisses me off!
I was there a week ago! Nice Vlog!
Filmed an episode there recently. Beautiful. Cleopatra hill is a priceless place.
This was one of my favorite places to visit in Arizona and I so want to come back especially to stay in the bed & breakfast again. It's so beautiful and fun to explore.
I loved visiting in the winter but I love winter time.
Spent one night there to see old flame on my way east .came at just before sunset in the summer.incredible scenery I will never forget. Each street was 15’ lower than the next
I grew up in Phoenix, and we went to Jerome when it was a real ghost town, 1960. I was 6 years old. I can still remember it. it was smaller than it is now. I was hoping to see the old elementary and high school building. they were not separate.
Went here back in 2015 was a great time would definitely go again!
My wife and I visit Jerome several times a year. Great get away from Phoenix! Fun town great eats!
Best restaurants?
oh my gawsh & the new Cornish Pasties eatin originally by the Miners just adds to the vibes so Phenomenally❤❤ We accidentally ran into it on our way from the Lot!
a very enjoyable video i went there 2019 and it was an awesome place well worth a visit
This town looks really interesting and cool. I want to visit
Rode our motorcycles thru there a couple years back from Sedona, had to go back the next day just to spend time in Jerome, was a cool little town. There is a video on the Hotel turned house on youtube that is cool too.
My husband and I visited Jerome in the early 90s. It looks like it has boomed since then. Picked up a “No Sniveling” hat for a friend. Would love to have a drink in that bar again if it’s still there. Maybe someday.
Beau high views ! Screw ghosts ! I am going to visit this great town !
👍💯💪🙏
And there's the Mingus mountain hang gliding launch area, up above Jerome, from which I've flown.
Ha! Found it! Love the Asylum!
love it
Nice video
Went to jerome in 65 w my folks. Recall less populated but i was 5 so...... same jerome as jeromevhotel in Aspen......there wascacplace served great pie
In 2022 I was doing a tour and night it was freezing, but one of the ghost in the cemetery did save my life so it’s kinda worth it
I felt a very dark vibe when I was in Jerome. Very cool town though.
Replayed na Lang sis work mode today
Love Jerome....coolest town in AZ
Was just there last week!
I'll be at the Grand Hotel next week!
I love Jerome
Love Jerome!!! It is such a charming town!!! My last visit there was in 2018. Can't wait to visit again. The whole area around with Clarkdale and Cottonwood is so nice. Would love to live around here.
We were just there this weekend for my mummy’s birthday!!!
Great train ride
I checked the hotels there, they are asking about $300 a night! Crazy.
300 a night to see a spirit smh 😮 my sister friend took the tour and straight up saw some crazy shit in the mirror she said it was a ghost forsure
@@kiarasells2159 interesting. Quite a business they've made out of it!
Went here in 2007 and still long to go back
Jeff? From Altcoin Buzz? 🤯
I recognized that voice so fast lol I live in Phoenix too
So Bonita!
i would love to visit Jerome one day.
Go Go Go
Spent a few nights in the asylum. Great place to visit. Had some amazing pizza further down the hill
Nice shots. What kind of drone do you use? I’m wanting to buy one.
You needed to cover the Historic house, where Jenny Churchill Randolph lived .
All the haunted stuff is a current tourist gimmick. There was never any talk of ghosts in the area until it became a tourism fad. It's funny seeing all the new building's built to look old. My grandmother was a nurse in that hospital.
I was just watching your video and have to correct a mistake you made. You said the Verde Tunnel & Smelter can still be ridden in Clarkdale. That is actually the Verde Canyon Railroad
The VT&S was the train that brought ore from the open pit to the Clarkdale Smelter from 1915 to 1950
I used to live in Cottonwood and drove 89A everyday.
My sister lives there
i went walking at night by myself and saw this really tall shadow person just right outside the jerome hotel... he had on a hat and i even thought it was a real person for a second 😶 has anyone else seen this
Caught that image on my phone.
@@Teganandthejays scary
Drive a good car with good brakes , everything changes , see now before it changes . Prescott is just gone
Been through there before
Love Jerome
Book a Halloween trip at the Grand Motel. Don't forget the Cemetery. Do Not Disturb. Walk with Honor. Respect!!
Well that's better than anything Phoenix could ever offer.
I visiter Arizona for 3 weeks in 2019 and it was the most beautiful travel of my entire life... so so so amazing ! I ended up in Jerome one night, it was so beautiful !
show us Mesa, Az
Is it open for public to explore some haunted areas without a tour guide?
How can you have a video of Jerome without playing "Old Jerome" by the late great Kate Wolf?????
Drinking early morning coffee,
talking with good friends,
and walking the streets of rough cut stone
She was once a miners’ city,
now the ghost of a dying town,
but there’s a fire burning bright in old Jerome.
Some have come for fortune,
some have come for love
and some have come for the things they cannot see
Now the grass is green and growing
where the gardens once had died
and the birds sing in the young Ailanthus trees
And they say that once you live here,
You never really go
‘cause she’ll have a hold on you until you die
With her ground moving crazy,
Her fierce wind blowing free
And her ruins standing proud against the sky
Houses cling to mountains
like miners cling to dreams
they hold on so long and then they just let go
And this mountain she’s your mistress,
you’ll ride her ’til you fall
and wash down to the valley far below.
There are stories that tell on Cleopatra
There are stories that never can be told
The wind and the rain sing their mountain lullaby
The copper shines like Arizona gold
And her walls stand strong and silent,
Starin’ out with empty eyes
like beggars blind and lame that do no harm
With their empty rooms that hold
the old town’s memories
and their doorways that reach out like empty arms
In the streets the children play,
climbing up the crooked stairs,
and lovers touch and turn to go back home
And the sound of hammers echo
in the once forgotten halls
and hope stirs in the heart of old Jerome
The moon shines bright on Cleopatra
Where the mines lie sleeping far below
The wind and the rain sing their mountain lullaby
And the copper shines like Arizona gold
My great grandma was born here in 1915 but then moved to Jalisco Mexico after they lost everything in a house fire
why not the spirit room michelle branch got descovered there
When I have money, I would go over there.
Be careful driving there, as a large part of towns income is from ticky tac tickets. I watched the cops watching from a hidden area pulling people over for not coming to a complete stop. They were continuous with the tickets. The town also started a pay to park system a few years ago, and one of the cops has a wife who drives around non-stop giving out tickets. The town is now not motorcycle friendly as they charge to park by the bike not the space. The town use to have tons of motorcycles in it filing the Spirit Bar. Now the bar has just a fraction of the people in it. The bands were discontinued as well, but they told me that they were going to try having bands again. They were not sure if they would get enough people in the bar to make any money.
Essentially the town has decided to make money off the tourists, not caring if they piss them off as most of them there are only going to be there once.
The town itself is very cool, but you really have to watch yourself on the road. The speed limit is 20, and they write a lot of tickets for that too.
Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favorite channle.:).
I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant. 🌴🌴🌴
excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 from:
Jerome Town Yavapai
The ghost town looks like it doesn’t have much parking lol.
Jim Sullivan did a song about it
My wife had a panic attack while we were driving there because of the road and cliffs
I can believe it. I drove very slowly up the scenic route to Jerome because the heights made me nervous. Car behind me was probably mad, but couldn't be helped.
i wanted to explore but my mom was about to cry bc she was scared of the height
Crazy story I drive for a transportation company in Phoenix driving a 26ft uhaul truck and I had to deliver some tires in Cottonwood and Prescott. I drove to Cottonwood first then put the address in the GPS to head to Prescott and it gave me the option to go thru highway 89A or thru Jerome, I said f it I'll go thru Jerome.( I had never heard of Jerome) I drove up to the little town when I finally realized I had f up badly!

That was me last week. The drive made me so nervous. Didn't explore wanted to leave. Glad for this video now I can see it 😊
@@chin6822 omg! That drive was scary. I can only imagine how you felt! 😳
It's like the Beverly Hills of ghost towns.
How many people live in Jerome,AZ in this 2022 ??
Is it not a ghost town of people love there? It’s a tourist ghost town. Just saw another video about a group of town in Oklahoma that are completely abandoned. Same with centralia PA.
Nothing about the asylum or ghost town?
No parking
Scare live there too hill top for me
The toilet bowl garden. A place where man can sit and contimplate life.
How is this a “ghost town?” There are businesses open everywhere.
Dang the video lagging, 23fps more like it, make my head dizzy
