I'm sorry for all the delays, I've been at quite a few conferences this month so I've been held back from this column. Today I will bring to you the Hauntings of Phoenix Arizona. Have fun...


Phoenix - 5th Ave - between Roosevelt and Fillmore - A 9 year old girl was killed tragically on August 6,1995,by a hit and run driver, who was never located, and brought to justice. It is felt that this little girl made herself known to some people for some time after her death, and even now, it is believed that people can still feel a presence in certain areas of Phoenix. One such area is where she was killed. Another area is in the neighborhood of 17th Ave. and Grant. At the time of her death, a man who was sleeping in the bedroom and whom no one else was in there during this time had a box fall on him, awakening him. And his wife, who was in the kitchen preparing the evening meal. She had a vision of the little girl smiling at her, and saying how much she loved them both. Another sighting of this little girl happened near 19th Ave. and Camelback. A mother was walking a little girl, unknown to the older sister and her friend who was following behind them, and the little girl kept turning to look at the two behind her, smiling and waving. This little girl's facial features appeared to be exactly the same as the deceased little girl, and so did her hair and hair color! At the time of the girl's death, when the ambulance, fire truck, and police cars were there at the scene, the girl's body was placed in the ambulance. As the ambulance was pulling away, it was reported later that others seen her up against the windows on the back of the ambulance, face and hands pressed against the window, as the paramedics were trying to save her. All of this was reported to the mother ranging from a couple of days to 6 months later, and the mother would often awaken believing she had just been talking to the girl, after having seen her in the mother's dreams!

Phoenix - 19th Avenue & Northern - Before the construction of the grocery & shopping center on the northeast corner, there stood several older buildings which were eventually torn down. These structures stood dark and vacant for many years, collecting numerous rumors of spooky apparitions and ghostly dwelling. Teenagers were known to scare themselves by entering late at night through a portion of open fencing, and investigate the scene by flashlight. Many heard whimpering sounds and crying down the long dark corridors, and most were too afraid to venture deep into the basement where stories of torture and murder ran rampant. By the light of the moon, some teens say they saw gravestones, a set of three to be exact, (one large in the middle and two small on either side) that were not there in the light of the following day.

Phoenix - 4 Peaks Home Entertainment - 4 Peaks has a cage in the back, where they store supplies. In this cage, especially in the evenings, there have been sightings of a ghostly appearance, which appears to be an ex-employee who overdosed on heroin. He was a very depressed individual who always hated people and thought the world was out to get him. Now it seems like he is out to get the world. Loud noises, and tools will fall off the walls, without warning... Other employees have noticed this to.

Phoenix - 51st in Indian School - Strange sightings of a woman walking in the road and getting hit by a car people claim to here screams near 61st Ave. an Indian School some say that she goes in peoples houses and knocks there stuff to the ground and at night they see her on there couch.

Phoenix - 55th Ave and Northern - In the grave yard near 55th avenue and northern, there has been report of people seeing the spirits of those who have died running around the grave yard aimlessly, also it is said that there are spirits of teenagers running around, back about 10 years ago some teenagers were playing hide and seek in the graveyard, some of the teens heard a scream and thought nothing of it, the next day one of the teenagers was missing and later found near the grave of his great uncle, word has it that you can still see the teenagers playing hide and seek and that the one that got killed will come up to you and bother you until you leave.

Phoenix - Arizona State Prison Complex - Flamenco Unit - Unit was built in 1920 and was for years a division of the state hospital. It is now used to house inmates with mental health issues. Numerous patients and inmates have died in the facility over the years, and now at night you can hear keys rattle, (most officers think another officer has entered the area only to find that no one is there and everyone is accounted for on other units) a woman is seen in the female units library, doors open and close on there own, and very often extra inmates are counted, and when rechecked they are not there. (It is not unusual to undercount the number and need to recount, but with inmates locked in their rooms, it is very difficult to count one twice. You can miss someone who is in a non visible corner, but extra inmates just doesn't happen...)

Phoenix - Billington House - The youngest daughter has reported almost all the sightings. She has heard footsteps and people talking while she has been home alone. She has seen a glowing figure of a person with one arm standing in the second-floor window of her playhouse. She said that it stood motionless, and that she only saw it at night. She saw it three nights in a row. She told her dad one night, and he looked out the window by her bed to the tree house directly where she said it was standing and did not see a thing. On the fourth night there was no such person in the tree house, as if it had never been there at all. The same child has awoken in the night and looked out her window to see a man in a long black coat and a hat standing on her patio. She closed her eyes for no more than a second and when she opened them the man was gone. She has also seen a woman looking at her and smiling at her from her closet.

Phoenix - Deer Valley High School - auditorium - Ask any Deer Valley drama student where Dwex is, and they'll probably answer, "up on the catwalk". Dwex is Deer Valley's resident ghost. Although he has only been seen in the auditorium, his presence is known school wide. Stories of how Dwex died range from a love story gone wrong to a construction worker who fell of the scaffolding while the school was being built. People who have been in the auditorium have experienced cold spots, equipment malfunctions, heard voices and crying near the auditorium bathrooms, and some people have even seen him. He peers down from the catwalk or from the equipment rooms. Witnesses have seen him on the catwalk and have even been 'pushed' by him during an after-hours, pitch-black auditorium visit.

Phoenix - Gila Reservation (The Deep South of Leveen) - Going into the southwest of Leveen, Where the Indians live, you'll see a street called THE BOONIES, you go to that street and as you know it starts to get cold and then you are on a street that takes a while to get to the bridges, which is leading you to old buildings. There are reports of a being or demon that resembles a Centaur.

Phoenix - Jo Jo's Alley - When traveling down that alley, and would be chased out with strange lights and if driving down, would hear noises as if being hit by pounding hands on the tops of their cars. - July 2005 Update The location of this alley is under scrutiny. If you have the absolute location please email us at Haunted PlacesJanuary 2007 Update: reported to be located at Central Ave just north of Glendale.

Phoenix - Maricopa - Trevor G Browne High School - In the early 90s when construction workers were building the auditorium for the high school one of the workers fell off of a high beam and was killed instantly on impact they say you can hear moans and cries of pain in the auditorium at night during closing time .

Phoenix - Pioneer - The house of the first governor of Arizona can be found here. The house is haunted by his young daughter who died of Namonia long ago. People who have been there at night have experienced sudden coldness, the sight of things moving by themselves, and whispering voices.

Phoenix - San Carlos Hotel - haunted by suicide victim Leone Jensen who killed herself there. It's bad enough when you stay at a hotel and irresponsible parents allow their children to run (literally) up and down the halls, day and night. What can you do when the running children are ghosts? That's the long and the short of it at this hotel, which was built in the 1920s. It seems the hotel now occupies the site of the first elementary school in Phoenix.

Phoenix - Pioneer - The house of the first governor of Arizona can be found here. His young daughter who died of Namonia long ago haunts the house. People who have been there at night have experienced sudden coldness, the sight of things moving by themselves, and whispering voices.

Phoenix - The Vistas - It is a home in this neighborhood "The Vista". However, every one that moves in asks if anyone knows if anyone dying there. People see shadows, hear sounds, and go to sleep with dirty dishes. However, when they wake...the dishes are clean. It was told an abusive husband lived there, and wouldn't allow his wife to go to sleep without having the complete house clean first.

Phoenix - Southwest Supermarket - 35th Ave. & McDowell - - Update: burned down March 14, 2001, when firefighter Bret Tarver was killed in the line of duty. - Reports of strange lights, and object moving.

Phoenix - Tappatio Cliffs - The Point Hiton - The main ballroom is haunted by a drunken man who, when at a wedding reception some 20 years ago reportedly walked up to the cliffs right behind the ballroom, and fell head first. As told by a couple of security guards there, he haunts the boiler room, and no one is allowed down there after midnight.

Hey Mags! Welcome back. :)

I see you posted some hauntings that take place at ASPC-Flamenco.  I've been to that unit numerous times.  And no, not as an inmate, on transports as an officer.

Check it out Mags. This is just down the road from where I worked.  These two I'm very familiar with.


Florence - ASP Cellblock 3 - In 1973 officers Buckely and Morey where killed in the cellblock by inmates during a riot both officers where beaten and stabbed to death. on a number of occasions when the guards would lock all of the doors in the cellblock, they would find doors open, etc. between inmate counts. A number of the officers also noticed cold spots and the sounds of doors opening and closing several officers noticed misty forms at the end of the cellblock on a number of occasions. The cellblock is located in the same prison as the Arizona Death House, which is also haunted.

Florence - Arizona State Prison Complex Death House - It is said that the ghosts of condemned prisoners haunt the death house at the state prison in Florence. Several guards have reported hearing screams and other strange sounds.
