Night Audit Report

Another quiet night as far as guests go, but when I was in the back storage room I heard several loud and deliberate bangs. They sounded as if they came from the next room. It was rather unsettling, and I still have the tingles a half an hour later. I've walked by the room several times since then, and each time I walk by the door I get the chills.

Night Audit Report

Last night while working in the lobby, I kept hearing keys jingle from the gift shop. The sound was loud, clear and unmistakeable. I checked it out several times, and there wasn't anyone "living" around. I would have thought nothing of it, but there have been several reports by guests lately that involve keys ringing.

Night Audit Report

There are only two rooms in house tonight, so hopefully I will have something interesting to post before the night is over. I have a lot of experiences that guests have told me since I started, as well as things that have happened to me that I have been trying to figure out how to post. I can't remember room numbers or dates, but the details of the events themselves are still pretty fresh in my head. So I think I'll just relate them the best I can, mark them as 3rd hand where applicable, and let them stand on their own.

One morning a guest came down and during our conversation he told me that he almost came down to see if he could get put into another room. As he lay down to go to sleep, he felt pressure on his chest as though someone was pushing him down. He heard the words "The bedding is for the patients." The temperature in his room rose so much that he had to open a window and abandon his blanket. This was at about 2 in the morning, and although it was wintertime, I had shut the boiler off about an hour before his experience.

Conversations In The Boiler Room

With only a few rooms in house last night, it was very quiet. As I was walking through the boiler room, I heard a faint conversation. It was only in a very small area that I could hear it, and it was too faint for me to make out the topic of conversation, but I could hear it. I checked the laundry room, because sometimes a radio is left on, and it can sound like talking; but it was turned off. For several minutes I heard it, and finally it trailed off. Could it have been workers from the buildings hospital era discussing repairs? I can't say, but it was pretty creepy.

Tonight we don't have anyone booked in the hotel so far, so it could be very quiet. If it remains that way, I hope to get a few pictures of the empty building. Maybe I will even try to get my hands on a tape recorder. With no one in the building, I would know for sure that it wasn't a "living" being on the tape.

Quiet

I had a couple of days off and it was pretty busy last night, so I haven't had a chance to see if any guests had any experiences the last few days, but hopefully I will get to it tonight. We had some amateur ghost hunters last night, and I'll find out from them if anything happened. Pretty quiet ghost-wise from the front desk, although the front door kept wiggling. It could have been the wind, but it seemed pretty still up here.

I hope to get some pictures on the site as quickly as possible, although I don't seem to have a lot of time to get good ones. Maybe someone who has stayed here and captured a good picture will e-mail it to me, as I've seen some really good ones that I'd love to include.

Where possible I have been going through the book where people write down any ghostly experiences that they had and adding them. The original book was stolen, but the new one goes back to the winter of '08, so it's better than nothing. I hope to begin to see a pattern of what goes on in each of the individual rooms.

There are a couple of old stories, including a couple of suspicious deaths and at least one suicide that took place in the buildings past, and I will tell them fully at a later date.

Room 31/33

Stayed in room 31/33 the first night. We woke up a 3:00 AM and heard a cat meow. Took pictures around the hotel and caught a lot of orbs. Second night we heard voices in the hall. Took a tour with Haunted Tours. Ron was excellent on telling the history of Jerome. I caught huge orbs on buildings and a ghost at the High School. Wonderful stay! Plan to come back!

Room 12

I was laying in bed and suddenly I heard keys ringing. I quickly yelled for my dad, then he came out of the bathroom and said, "Did you hear keys, then I explained my experience to him and he told me to write it in the book. PS - I'm only ten.

My Report

Mostly quiet tonight, although I keep hearing loud thud's coming from the higher floors. With only 5 rooms booked, and the late hour, I doubt it's guests. I have checked all the floors to try to locate the source of the noises, but the hallways are quiet when I'm up there.

Also, in performing my nightly duties, I have walked through several cold spots tonight. The air feels heavier and colder and a bit mustier in these cold spots than they do even a couple of feet away.

Mostly Quiet

39 AB

There were a couple ghost hunting into the wee hours of the evening. An exact report will follow shortly, however they did tell me before going to bed that they smelled ether very strongly in the entrance to the Grand Suite (Was originally the operating room). They said they got some pics, I will hopefully be able to update this more later.

Room 39AB

Room was relatively uneventful except for an orb on a room photo and while watching t.v. I was what appeared to be a cat pacing by the door - like wanting to be let out. Took the Ghost Hunter Tour and in many of the photo's appeared orbs throughout the hotel! Upon entering the Grand Suite a very strong odor of ether was present. Only to find out later that it was the operating room of the hospital - Makes sense!!!

Had a wonderful time - Staff at the Hotel were great. Will definately be back to stay in the Grand Suite!!!

I was sleeping with a scarf over my eyes and I felt a strong mans hand grab the scarf off my head.

First Post

I am starting this blog to document the (almost) daily occurence of odd activity in the place of my employment, The Jerome Grand Hotel in Jerome, Arizona. It is an old building, originally a hospital in a booning mining town. Since the '90s it has been and is still being renovated as a hotel. It has a longstanding reputation as a haunted building, as does most of Jerome. More and more people are coming, hoping to see or hear something.

In the future, I plan to have photographs, my personal stories, stories of guests, past stories related to the front desk staff, as well as an almost nightly update of the things that go bump during my "GRAVEYARD SHIFT".

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have stayed here in the past and have a story or experience that you would like to share. I would be more than pleased to include it, as well as any photographs that you may have captured during your stay.

I look forward to this forum, and perhaps we will eventually end up with proof positive of supernatural events taking place in the building.

Quiet

Most likely due to a lot of wedding partyers, no discernable activity was detected by me last night. That seems to happen when the guests are loud.

Room Unknown

I stayed with my husband and in the middle of the night I heard a cat-like voice person saying

"I'm still alive"
"I'm still alive"

over and over.

Thanks.

Room 23/25

We stayed in 23,25. It was me, my mom, and my friend M. We all went ghost hunting around 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM and we asked Bob if we could ghost hunt in the Grand Suite and he gave us the keys and we all went up there. Well we went into the bedroom right off the kitchen and my mom was feeling chills and when I walked in and it was already dark but I saw a human figured shadow but all the lights were off... Also in our rooms at like 2:00 AM we heard crying in the hallway.

Well, I loved our room and I really liked staying here and I would love to come again.

Room 37A

As we left the elevator, having just checked in, I saw something. We were beginning to walk toward our room, 37A, and as we turned to pass the elevator on our way to the room, for an instant I saw a man in a blue shirt at the extreme left of the elevator. I looked again and the figure was gone. I looked in the stairwell; there was no one there.

About 4 AM, I heard a very loud bang. My fiance was asleep, he did not hear anything. I looked out into the corridor, but it was empty. It was like a door slamming shut, but I don't think any guest was going into his/her room at that hour.

Throughout the night/early morning, I heard the elevator moving.

Room 36

We stayed in Room 36 - woke up in middle of the night, heard noises and felt something against my face - could have been the sheet or hair, stayed awake but didn't want to open my eyes. Also in the morning I hung my clothes in the bathroom to try to get the wrinkles out. I went out to get conditioner for my hair; when I went back into bathroom my shorts were crumpled in a ball under the sink - creepy.
