Bisbee, Arizona is thought to be one of the most haunted towns in southern Arizona.
Founded in the late 1800's as a mining town, Bisbee has seen its share of mining accidents, barroom brawling gone bad, and tragedy in general.
This has paved the way for a veritable cornucopia of hauntings, sightings, and other miscellaneous paranormal activity.
Listed below are several of the locations that are known to have frequent, well documented activity.
The Bisbee Grand Hotel opened its doors in 1906 as a rest stop for traveling mining executives. It was renovated in 1986 and is now under the ownership of Bill Thomas. The hotel is also the home of three separate ghosts, as reports go.
Resting on land that was part of the Gadsden purchase, the history itself predates the actual hotel. It is reportedly haunted by a ghost named Abigail.
The Oliver House
Built in 1909 by Edith Ann Oliver, the wife of a local mining official, it is more recently used as a bed and breakfast. The current proprietors are very happy to tell their guests about their experiences with the reported five separate ghosts.
Brewery Gulch
Formerly the "red light" district of Bisbee, it is also reported to be the single most haunted part of the town. Paranormal enthusiasts delight in the amount of activity recorded there on any given day.
Built in 1902 as another rest stop for mining personnel and visiting dignitaries, it has been in continuous operation since. The third floor of this hotel sees a lot of activity including doors that open and shut by themselves, electrical appliances that operate on their own, various cold spots, and the occasional apparition of a young lady.
