Jerome has a very big history for a small mining town perched on the side of a mountain.
You’ll notice one minute you’re on the road and one miss-step later you’re tumbling down a mountain side. Don’t drink and walk in the dark. In fact don’t walk in the dark without a light at all. No street lights and very little light anywhere makes it perfect for hunting ghosts. And I’m not sure you’re hunting them, they might be haunting you.
We took their advertised Ghost Walk a couple of weeks ago, fund raiser for the Historical Society, good fun and well performed. But as we followed the performers I had a sense of background watchers around corners or when peering into abandoned buildings. I didn’t have extra time that night to check things out and have decided we’re booking an overnight stay soon to devote a full night hunt.
I did find out something interesting when I asked the Ghost City Inn B&B if they had ghosts in the rooms, they said they have lots of sightings but don’t advertise them for fear of driving off customers.
Reserve your room now for next October this is a very popular ghost infested town. More to follow.

I too explored the town of Jerome and very much enjoyed the Ghost Walk through the town. I highly endorse the town for a great time at Holloween and any other time of the year.
