Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    5 min

    Begin at Prescott’s most famous haunted hotel. Opened in 1927, the Hassayampa Inn is known for the ghost of “Faith,” a bride who checked in for her honeymoon—and never left. Guests report sightings of a woman in white and strange occurrences on the fourth floor.

  2. Elks Opera House Theatre

    Passing by

    This historic theater once hosted major performers of the early 1900s. Today, staff and visitors report unexplained voices, footsteps, and lights turning on when no one is inside—suggesting the show may not be entirely over.

  3. Stop 3

    5 min

    At the heart of Prescott lies Courthouse Plaza. Here you’ll find the beloved Lady Ermintrude fountain, honoring a local donkey. The plaza is also known for ghost sightings—shadowy figures and unexplained sounds, especially after dark.

  4. Stop 4

    5 min

    This powerful memorial honors the 19 firefighters who lost their lives in 2013. While not a ghost story, it’s one of the most emotional and meaningful stops, reminding visitors of the real-life tragedies that still echo through the town.

  5. Stop 5

    5 min

    One of Prescott’s most haunted locations. Room 16 is said to be occupied by Abby and her cat, both of whom never left after her death. Guests report sightings, sounds, and eerie encounters tied to this tragic story.

  6. Stop 6

    5 min

    This quiet statue tells the story of the everyday cowboy. But at night, visitors report seeing shadowy figures nearby—spirits of the Old West who may still linger in the plaza.

  7. Stop 7

    5 min

    Once home to Prescott’s volunteer fire department, this site played a key role during devastating fires in the city’s past. Some believe the spirits of firefighters still remain, ready to answer the next alarm.

  8. Stop 8

    5 min

    A vibrant mural that tells the story of Prescott—but this alley is also known for ghost sightings. Visitors report seeing shadowy cowboy figures and feeling an eerie presence in this historic backstreet.

  9. The Palace Restaurant and Saloon

    5 min

    The heart of Prescott’s Wild West past. The Palace Saloon, Arizona’s oldest bar, is famous for surviving the Great Fire of 1900. Some say former patrons—including Doc Holliday—still linger inside.

  10. Stop 10

    5 min

    Built after the 1900 fire, this historic hotel has its own ghostly reputation. Guests report unexplained noises, moving doors, and figures seen in upper-floor hallways.

  11. Yavapai County Courthouse Square

    5 min

    End your tour at the courthouse, long associated with law, justice, and ghostly sightings. The statue of Buckey O’Neill honors a legendary lawman—and some say his spirit, along with others, still watches over the plaza.
