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.

Paulina and her staff were amazing. The location and experience was superb. Cannot wait to see them again!
My friend and I purchased the VIP tickets for overnight experience at Belle Grove Plantation. While it was cool to be able to explore the house and grounds, the actual ghost hunt got a little boring, especially as it got later. There wasn't a formal check in or introduction and our guide read the information about the location from her notes and did not encourage the guests to interact with the equipment. She talked to the spirits and allowed us to take turns with the Estes machine but it was mostly us sitting around listening to her. We were all ready for bed by midnight. Lovely location and the room itself was beautiful. I do wish breakfast was included. Overall a neat experience but I wish it was a little more exciting and interactive.
My daughter and I booked a Haunted Rooms tour at the Rawlins, Wy Historical Prison. It was so much fun! The haunted rooms teams was amazing, they were knowledgeable with their paranormal investigation equipment. They were attentive yet also allowed us the opportunity to explore and investigate on our own as well. We got some awesome evidence. I was hit in the shoulder by a cabinet that was closed, but swung open with force. Scared the heck out of me, and the Haunted Rooms team member wasn’t able to debunk it because the cabinet door doesn’t move, even when unlatched. My daughter had her hair pulled. We had a cat ball with us that lit up on its own when we asked a spirit to touch it. We had 3 very intelligent conversations with spirits and used a spirit box with these conversations. It was seriously so much fun. I’ve always been a believer in the ability to communicate and connect with spirits, but to witness it personally without being able to debunk anything we experienced made this tour amazing. I look forward to booking again and I’m taking my son this time too.
We just completed the WY. Frontier Prison tour. We had a blast! Loved how they let you roam freely at the end of the night. Also, the use of their equipment & the snacks and refreshments provided are an added perk. Would highly recommend!
Just did a tour at battleship North Carolina and the night can’t be beat. Most definitely one of the most haunted places in NC.
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.
