1910 Gila County Jail Ghost Hunts
Nestled in the rugged terrain of central Arizona, the old frontier mining town of Globe boasts a tumultuous and storied past. Its isolation and proximity to the San Carlos Apache reservation made it a hotspot for lawlessness, with a history marked by murders, stagecoach robberies, outlaws, lynchings, and Apache raids.
Given Globe’s history of lawlessness, the town required its own courthouse and jail to handle the high volume of criminal activity. The Old Gila County Courthouse, built in 1906, and the jail, constructed in 1910, were essential to maintain order and provide justice in this turbulent frontier town.
The Old Gila County Jail, connected to the courthouse by the notorious “Bridge of Sighs,” holds a dark and violent history. Convicted criminals would make the short, harrowing walk across this bridge, suspended 40 feet above the ground, leaving freedom behind for the unknown confinement of an 8×6 cell. This jail has been a witness to countless instances of violence, suicide, murder, and death, creating a perfect storm for paranormal activity.
The Hauntings
One of the most chilling incidents occurred during a news segment, where a reporter was attacked by an unseen presence that strangled her and pushed her against a wall. This terrifying event was only the beginning. When the Ghost Adventures crew visited the jail in Season 18, they experienced a plethora of paranormal activity, reinforcing the belief that a powerful, negative entity resides within its walls.
Past investigators and staff have reported unsettling phenomena, including growls emanating from empty cells, cell doors opening and slamming shut on their own, and an oppressive feeling that only lifts once they leave the building. Paranormal equipment often picks up wild, unexplained EMF spikes, and common occurrences include unexplained bangs, disembodied footsteps, and chilling screams.
Kingsley Old’s cell is a particular hotspot for strange occurrences. Accused of drowning his mining partner’s two young daughters in the Salt River in 1911, Olds attempted to feign innocence by shooting himself and claiming they were all attacked.
While imprisoned, he confided in a nurse that the spirits of the two girls visited him, standing outside his cell and shouting incomprehensible words. The night before his death, the girls beckoned him to join them. The next morning, Olds was shot and killed in his sleep by an unknown assailant, believed by many to be the vengeful father of the girls, who positioned themselves in the courthouse opposite his cell for a clear shot.
The Bridge of Sighs itself is steeped in death, with many convicted criminals attempting to escape their fate by jumping to their deaths during the walk from the courthouse to the jail.
The combination of these tragic events and the malevolent presence makes the Old Gila County Jail a prime location for a thrilling night of ghost hunting.

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!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
My son and I went to belles grove plantation and it was the best time! We enjoyed everything! Miss V was great! We got a few pictures of something in the windows and I actually started crying which I NEVER would let my son see me cry! It was kinda spooky but awesome at the same time! The team is great and I highly recommend going on one of their tours! Thank u all for a great experience
