The Haunted Valley

Spirits in Metro Phoenix? Perhaps. From unlit fireplaces that give off heat to toilets that flush themselves, to laughter when no one is around, the Valley is filled with locales that are alleged to have paranormal activity. Visit if you dare.

BY MICHELLE GLICKSMAN

The Valley is known for many things, including sunny days, cacti, golf courses, resorts, and its food culture—but it’s also the location of many venues that are rumored to be haunted.

PHOENIX

HOTEL SAN CARLOS

In 1928, the grand Hotel San Carlos opened for visitors. Over the years it has hosted celebrities and notables. But just over a month after the hotel opened, a woman named Leone Jensen checked in. On her second night, Jensen wrote a number of letters—including directions for her funeral—and jumped off the hotel’s roof. Since her death, a number of people have reported seeing a woman in white around the property. She’s been spotted on the staircase of the seventh floor, and some guests describe seeing her standing at

the foot of their bed, staring at them before disappearing. Although she’s the most famous Hotel San Carlos ghost, there have also been reports of a little girl sitting and crying, and voices of children laughing—possible supernatural vestiges of the city’s first school, built in the late 19th century, where the hotel now stands. 202 N. Central Ave.; www.historichotelsancarlos.com

ORPHEUM THEATRE PHOENIX

The Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Phoenix was built in 1929 and originally used for vaudeville acts. The historic building is still used today for shows and events, and but not all of its guests are said to be alive. It is said that several ghosts have made themselves known at the Orpheum, though none more than Mattie, who likes to hang out on the balcony. 203 W. Adams St.; www.pccticketing.com

ROSSON HOUSE

This Victorian house was built in 1894-1895 and still sits on its

THE NOW-LOCATION OF CASEY MOORE’S, CIRCA 1910 WHEN IT WAS HOME TO THE MOEUR FAMILY

original foundation in Downtown Phoenix near the Arizona Science Center. The restored home is now a museum that can be toured. Guests can explore the living areas of the home and get a glimpse into the lifestyles of early Phoenix families—as well as potentially hear unexplained footsteps and feel warm temperatures coming from empty fireplaces, antics thought to perhaps be from a caretaker who was shot outside of the home in the early 1980s 113 N. Sixth St.; www.heritagesquarephx.org

PIONEER LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM

There are 26 historic 19th-century buildings on 90 acres, including the original homes of people who helped tame the Wild West. The structures were moved from all over the state—some say with their own ghosts, too. There have been reports of children singing in the old schoolhouse, figures emerging from the Opera House, sudden blasts of cold air, and the touch of unseen hands. The reports have been so credible that the museum has been the subject of many paranormal investigations. 3901 W. Pioneer Road; www.pioneeraz.org

PARADISE VALLEY

THE HERMOSA INN

This beautiful boutique hotel was built by famous cowboy artist Alonzo “Lon” Megargee in 1935. Originally built as his home and art house, Megargee created some of his greatest pieces here. After he died at the age of 77, patrons and staff began reporting seeing his shadow and silhouette—complete with his trademark Stetson hat—around the restaurant that now bears his name.

When no one is around, toilets flush themselves, and bottles and glasses break. 5532 N. Palo Cristi Road; www.hermosainn.com

CHANDLER

SAN MARCOS HOTEL

Now named the Crowne Plaza Phoenix-Chandler Golf Resort, the San Marcos Hotel was built in 1912 and hosted movie stars like Clark Gable and Fred Astaire. It not only offers deluxe amenities like an 18-hole championship golf course, but there have been many sightings of a ghost of a floating woman, and strange noises and moaning coming from empty parts of the hotel. One S. San Marcos Place; www.sanmarcosresort.com

CHANDLER HIGH SCHOOL

At one of the oldest schools in Arizona—it was built in 1914— teachers, custodians, and students have all reported hearing and seeing things on the second floor north wing of Old Main, one of the school’s original buildings. 350 N. Arizona Ave.; www.cusd80.com/chs

TEMPE

CASEY MOORE’S OYSTER HOUSE

This locale draws crowds for its elevated pub fare, as well as its oysters. But, before it was a restaurant, a couple lived in the home, and then it was briefly a bordello. Rumor has it that a girl was murdered there, and now she sometimes appears— and gets angry when there is romance in the air. 850 S. Ash Ave.; https://caseymoores.com

BY ERIC SWEDLUND

It’s called Babad Do’ag in O’odham native language and often referred to as part of the Sky Islands, but whatever the name, Mount Lemmon and its surroundings are a paradise of outdoor adventures. In summer, winter, spring, and fall, the mountain hosts hikers, backpackers, skiers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts looking for mountain air and gorgeous vistas.

FROM TOP: PHOTO BY NICCI RADHE/VISIT TUCSON; COURTESY VISIT TUCSON

PREVIOUS PAGE: PHOTO BY LUKE PARSONS

The 27-mile Catalina highway/sky island scenic byway is the only paved road to the town of Summerhaven and the top of Mount Lemmon, climbing more than 6,000 feet in elevation along the way.

PHOTO BY CHRIS HINKLE

Towering over the northeast edge of Tucson, Mount Lemmon rises to 9,157 feet—6,500 feet above the city of Tucson. And along an easy hour-long drive up the Catalina Highway/Sky Island Scenic Byway, vegetation transforms from saguaro, palo verde, and cholla, to a forest of oak and juniper trees, piñon and ponderosa pines, and then again to fir and aspen.

Near the very top is Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley, the southernmost ski area in the United States. Skiers and snowboarders flock to the slopes when there’s snow, but the chairlift is a popular attraction no matter the season, says Graham Davies, Ski Valley’s general manager.

“We’re 32 miles from the base, and riding a chairlift is 100 percent different than anything you’ll do in Tucson,” Davies says. “We run it every day we’re open and there’s always people on it ... At the top you can see all of Southern Arizona, from Tucson down to the Santa Ritas.”

For hikers, the mountains offer more than 150 miles of hiking trails of nearly unmatched variety, from Catalina State Park and the Pusch Ridge Wilderness on the western and southern edges to the peaks of Mount Lemmon and Mount Bigelow.

Tucson resident Kris LaFleur started hiking on Mount Lemmon as a kid and has been going up on his own for more than 20 years, enjoying quicker day hikes and longer camping and backpacking

trips. He lists the Box Spring and Aspen trails among his favorites. And for a longer, more rugged journey, LaFleur prefers the Wilder ness of Rock Trail with its picturesque rock formations.

“The short hikes and longer trails make it a great, diverse place to get away,” LaFleur says. “For me, it’s a great recharge. In the mid dle of June when it’s 105 [degrees], I can get in my car and from my front door be at 8,000 feet within an hour, next to a stream in the mixed pine and oak forest. It’s such a unique thing to have a mountain range like this so close to a desert city.”

Two-wheeled adventurers also have an array of options on Mount Lemmon. World-class cyclists use the elevation increase of Catalina Highway for training, and mountain bike enthusiasts enjoy the rugged trails.

Local Stephen Jordan has done it all, from driving his bike up to ride a quick trail or embarking on the 10-hour, 130-mile roundtrip ride from his house through Redington Pass and up the rough, steep Oracle Control Road on the backside of the mountain.

“I’ve ridden pretty much every trail up there over the last 22 years,” says Jordan, who enjoys both mountain and road cycling. “You can spend an entire day up there and be completely happy. It’s a beautiful thing to have.”

SCOTTSDALE’S ARTS DISTRICT

There are more than 100 art galleries in Scottsdale, with more than 30 of them located in Scottsdale’s Art District, an area defined as Main Street from Scottsdale Road to Goldwater Boulevard and north on Marshall Way, across Indian School Road to the Horse Fountain on 5th Avenue. Stop by American Fine Art, Inc. (www.warhol.me), which showcases works by artists such as Andy Warhol, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, LeRoy Neiman, and Marc Chagall; Larsen Gallery (www.larsengallery.com), which specializes in consigning fine art for sale and also hosts the Larsen Art Auctions; explore Bonner David Galleries’ (www.bonnerdavid.com) dual exhibition spaces; and more. www.scottsdalegalleries.com
