Jerome Grand Hotel
The Jerome Grand was the United Verde copper-mining hospital, opened in 1927; in 1935 a maintenance man, Claude Harvey, was found dead under the elevator, and his death became the centre of the building's ghost lore.
1935 CE · 34.75, -112.12 · status: legend
The account
Jerome itself, a near ghost town after the mines closed in 1953, markets itself as one of the most haunted towns in Arizona.
The sceptical view
The hospital history is real; reports of nurses' footsteps and coughing patients are traditions of the hotel era.
