Arizona Spot Named The 'Most Haunted Place' In The Entire State

Fall is finally settled in and Halloween is right around the corner, so that means Spooky Season is in full effect. And what better way to get in the spirit of things than diving deep into tales of apparitions, mysterious urban legends and other stories of all the things that go bump in the night.

Thrillist compiled a list of the "most haunted place" in every state, finding chilling locations like "old state hospitals, murder sites, homes with talking dolls, and hotels [that] are so disturbing, they've served as the setting for some of the most iconic horror movies."

According to the list, the most haunted spot in Arizona is the Jermone Grand Hotel in Jerome, "an old gold mining hub once known as the Wickedest City in the West." This spot is said to be haunted by spirits like laughing children, mysterious figures and even a ghostly cat.

Here's what the site had to say about the reportedly most haunted spot in all of Arizona:

"Located in the scenic hillside town of Jerome ... is the Jerome Grand Hotel, formerly known as the United Verde Hospital. Originally built in 1917 (and rebuilt in 1926 after a mine explosion destroyed the first), the Great Depression cause the hospital to take a serious downturn; by 1950, it had been abandoned entirely. The hospital sat essentially dormant until it reopened as the Jerome Grand in 1996. Much of the building's original structure and facilities have been restored, and many of its spirits still linger: the specter of a maintenance man found dead in the basement in the 1930s; human-shaped figures that roam the hall; children who run and laugh in the corridors; and even the spirit of a cat who scratches at guests' doors at night, begging to be let in."
