Sedona Ghost Hunt: Jerome Haunted Locations & EMF Readers
Hunt for Ghosts in Jerome's Most Haunted Spots
You'll spend two hours moving through Jerome's three most documented haunted locations (Haskins House, Old Jerome High School Auditorium, and the cemetery) with an EMF reader in your hand and a Spirit Box cycling through frequencies. The guide handles the historical context and the equipment. You handle the interpretation. Small groups keep it intimate, and optional add-ons like thermal cameras let you dig deeper if the experience hooks you.

The experience
Our guide met us outside the visitor center in Jerome, a mining town perched on a hillside just outside Sedona, and handed over an EMF reader before we even started walking. She'd worked with the Jerome Historical Society's archives manager and knew the stories, not the tourist version, but the actual records. Murder, suicide, the kind of weight that settles into old buildings. We were going to two hours through three locations: Haskins House, the Old Jerome High School Auditorium, and the cemetery. The Spirit Box came out once we got moving, a device that cycles through radio frequencies and supposedly lets spirits communicate through the static. It sounds ridiculous until you're standing in a dark hallway and something answers.
The Haskins House came first. It's a Victorian structure that's been empty for decades, and the moment we stepped inside, the EMF reader started picking up electromagnetic fluctuations, whether that was old wiring or something else, the guide didn't claim to know. She just told us what happened there: the history, the names, the documented deaths. The Old Jerome High School Auditorium was next, and that's where the Spirit Box got active. We stood in the rows of old seats while the device cycled through AM and FM, and there were moments (pauses in the static, what sounded like words) that made the hair on your neck stand up. The guide didn't push interpretation. She let us listen and decide. By the time we reached the cemetery, you could feel the difference between skepticism and genuine curiosity in the group.
The whole thing is two hours, which is long enough to feel immersive but short enough that you're not exhausted by the time you leave. If you want to go deeper, you can add on an SLS Camera or Thermal Image Reader, but the base package gives you the core equipment and the knowledge. The guide's credibility comes from the Jerome Historical Society's backing: they've vetted the information, and it shows. You're not getting ghost stories. You're getting history with the tools to investigate it yourself.

How far is Jerome from Sedona?
Jerome is about 30 minutes south of Sedona, in the Verde Valley. It's a separate town but easily reached as a day trip.
Do I need to be brave to do this tour?
No. The tour is about history and investigation, not jump scares. You're using equipment and listening to stories. The pace is calm and controlled.
What if I don't believe in ghosts?
The tour works either way. You get the historical facts, the equipment, and the experience of investigating a documented haunted location. Belief is optional.
Is the cemetery part of the tour actually accessible?
Yes. The Jerome Cemetery is included as one of the three locations. It's a working cemetery, so the guide will explain the protocols for respectful access.
Can I bring my own ghost-hunting equipment?
The tour provides EMF readers and Spirit Boxes for all participants. Add-ons like SLS cameras and thermal readers are available through the tour operator if you want them.
What's the difference between an EMF reader and a Spirit Box?
An EMF reader detects electromagnetic fields in the environment. A Spirit Box cycles through radio frequencies and is used to listen for potential communication. Both are included in the tour.
What if I have mobility concerns?
The tour involves walking through buildings and a cemetery over two hours. It's not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health, but it's suitable for most fitness levels. Ask the operator about specific accessibility questions.
