Jerome: Ghost Hunting Tour with Spirit Boxes & Cemetery Access

Summary

Jerome’s haunted past comes alive with spirit boxes in hand

You’ll step into Jerome’s haunted corners—Haskins House creaking underfoot, static from spirit boxes buzzing in your hands—while a local guide shares stories from the archives. Feel your pulse race in the old high school auditorium and catch your breath among weathered gravestones in Jerome Cemetery. This isn’t just a ghost tour—it’s a brush with history you won’t shake off easily.

What’s the experience like?

Li from the Historical Society met us outside Haskins House, grinning like he’d heard every nervous joke before. He handed me an EMF reader — I pretended to know what to do with it. The air smelled faintly of old wood and something metallic, like rain on rusted railings. “You’ll want to keep that close,” he said, and I did, even though my palms were already sweaty. We hadn’t even started the ghost hunting tour and my heart was doing this weird little dance.

Inside the old Jerome High School auditorium, our guide flicked on a spirit box. Static crackled out — louder than I expected — and someone behind me jumped (okay, maybe it was me). There was this moment where everyone just listened, really listened, for anything that might slip through the noise. I caught myself staring at the faded stage curtains and thinking about all the kids who must’ve sat here decades ago. The main keyword here is ghost hunting tour Jerome but honestly, in that room it felt more like we were eavesdropping on history than anything else.

The walk up to the cemetery was colder than I thought it’d be — Arizona nights can surprise you like that. Li told us stories about miners and lovers gone wrong; he didn’t sugarcoat any of it. At one point my EMF reader blinked red and someone swore softly under their breath. I’m not sure if we found ghosts or just our own nerves but standing there among those crooked headstones, with the wind picking up and everyone suddenly quiet? Yeah, I still think about that night sometimes.
