On May 7, 1928, a 22-year-old woman named Leone Jensen ended her life by jumping off the roof of
the seven-story Hotel San Carlos
in Phoenix, Arizona. Dressed in an evening gown as if she planned a night of dancing, Jensen died
heartbroken from the lost love of a bellboy at a nearby hotel. Since her death, there have been
reports of strange breezes, haunting noises and the white cloud of a woman's figure floating in the
air. The hotel also rests on the site of the city's first school, built in 1874. The sound of
children running and laughing is often heard, even when no children are checked in at the hotel.
Also in Arizona, The Monte Vista Hotel
in Flagstaff hosts a number of otherworldly guests and staff members. The hotel opened on New Year’s
Day of 1927 and during the 1940’s and 1950’s was a popular spot for Hollywood guests while more than
100 westerns were filmed nearby. Some of the guests of the hotel included Bing Crosby, Jane Russell,
Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy and many others. One of the ghosts here is that of a phantom bellboy who
knocks on doors and then vanishes. This annoying phantom has been experienced by dozens of guests
over the years and he is joined by the ghost of a
|
woman who has been seen outside of the Zane Grey
suite and a man who endlessly paces in one of the rooms.
He is often reported coughing and clearing his throat. In 1970, three men robbed a nearby bank & during the robbery,
a bank guard shot one of the men.

Despite their injured friend they decided to stop by the hotel lounge and have a drink to
celebrate. The wounded man bled to death while enjoying his last drink. Since then both patrons and
staff have reported being greeted by a an anonymous voice saying "Good Morning!" There have also
been reports of barstools and drinks that seem to move on their own.
The Oliver House in Bisbee, is a bed and breakfast that can boast five different ghosts. The house
was built in 1909 by Edith Ann Oliver, the wife of a local mine official. It was used originally
as mine offices and later became a boarding house before its present incarnation as an inn.
According to those who have stayed here, footsteps can be heard roaming the hallways at night and
the sound of water running in pipes that don’t exist can often be heard. Most of the strange
activity occurs around Room 13. In 1920, a man named Nat Anderson was shot and killed in the hallway
outside of this room.
