Why is Phoenix So Haunted?
Phoenix was built by outlaws, cowboys, and gold miners, and their spirits are just dying to see you! But before the gold mines and cowboys, the Valley of the Sun was inhabited by the Hohokam tribe, who left behind extensive irrigation channels that are still used today to divert water to Southern Arizona. At the time of European conquest, the Spanish claimed the area, but they settled further south, establishing a settlement that would later become Tucson.
The history of modern-day Phoenix began during the Civil War when Union and Confederates both laid claim to the territory. After the war, mining towns were established in the area, and new settlers saw good potential for farming. Phoenix grew amidst the backdrop of the Wild West, with outlaws, gunslingers, cowboys, and Indigenous tribes battling it out with law enforcement officers and the federal government.
Today, Phoenix is often touted as one of the best places to live in America, but the city has a much-overlooked spooky side. The ghosts of the gold miners and outlaws still haunt this desert metropolis. People sleep on the ghosts of Arizona, but in reality, the haunts of the American Southwest rival classics like Salem or Savannah.
Consequently, it’s one of the most haunted houses in the city. There’s also the Hermosa Inn, haunted by the spirit of cowboy artist Lon Megargee. And don’t miss out on the Hotel San Carlos! This hotel was doomed from the very beginning when a young woman committed suicide by jumping from the top floor. The deserts of Arizona hide some dark secrets, and they’re waiting to be discovered! So book your Phoenix ghost tour with Lizzie Borden Ghost Tours and have a hauntingly great time!
