The Oliver House Hotel, Bisbee, Arizona
Step into a world where the veil between past and present grows thin at the infamous Oliver House Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona. Perched ominously atop a forested hill, this imposing red brick structure is accessed only by a narrow concrete bridge that seems to transport visitors from the present day into a realm where time stands still. As shadows lengthen and night falls, the Oliver House reveals its darker nature, inviting the brave to uncover secrets as deep as the mining tunnels that once defined this frontier town.
A Legacy Written in Brick and Blood
Built as a “Private Hotel” in 1908 by Frank & Jane Oliver, the Oliver House began as an elegant accommodation before becoming a boarding house for the workers who toiled in Bisbee’s depths. While its brick walls were chosen to withstand the town’s frequent fires, they couldn’t prevent the violence that would unfold within.
At least 26 confirmed deaths have occurred behind these walls – though with many of Bisbee’s records lost to flames, the actual toll may never be known.
It has also hosted many famous guests in the past, including Babe Ruth, Gene Autry, and Clark Gable. It has been a hotel, lodge, and boarding house for most of its lifetime, providing people with a place to rest and unwind in Old Bisbee.
A Haven for the Restless Dead
The Oliver House has earned its reputation as one of Arizona’s most actively haunted locations. Witnesses describe phantom footsteps echoing through empty corridors and the bone-chilling sensation of being watched by unseen eyes. Skeptics who’ve spent the night have fled before dawn, their disbelief shattered by encounters with full-bodied apparitions and inexplicable phenomena that defy rational explanation.
Within these haunted halls, doors open and close of their own accord while the sounds of spectral parties drift from empty rooms. Ghostly maintenance work echoes through long-removed pipes, and icy cold spots materialize in the midst of desert heat. Even hardened paranormal investigators have been startled by the intensity and frequency of supernatural activity that permeates every corner of this historic structure.
The very foundations seem to pulse with paranormal energy as if the violent emotions of past tragedies have seeped into the building’s bones. Local legends tell of jealous rages turned murderous, illicit affairs that ended in bloodshed and a mass shooting that forever changed the hotel’s destiny. Each death has left an indelible mark, creating a tapestry of supernatural energy that draws spirits and sensitive individuals alike.
Whether you’re an experienced investigator or newly curious about the paranormal, the Oliver House Hotel offers a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of Arizona’s mining history and supernatural legacy. As night falls and the modern world fades away, you’ll immerse yourself in an environment where the past refuses to rest, and the spirits of Bisbee’s mining era still walk the halls.

My husband and I just toured the USS North Carolina Battleship this past Saturday. We had an AMAZING experience! Immediately booked another tour for the Bellamy Mansion and ordered paranormal equipment to use. Can’t wait til the next haunt!!!
We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
My son and I had a truly unforgettable experience at the Rock Island Roadhouse. The team that ran this event were all very knowledgeable of the history of the location as well as all of the equipment that they use. There were I think around 50 people total that attended and they broke us out into 4 separate groups. The first 4 hours of the night that were spent in the group setting taking turns with each team member didn't have much activity going on, however, once we were able to explore on our own the last 2 hours, we had some AMAZING activity! We even picked up what sounded like two whispering words in response to our questions! I highly recommend this group!
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
