Summary

The United Verde Hospital was constructed in 1926 and tended to the sick and wounded workers who mined for copper during the early 20th century. The hospital saw an estimated 9000 deaths, before it closed its doors and lay abandoned for decades. Eventually the building would be turned into the Jerome Grand Hotel, but almost immediately, staff and guests started reporting strange and haunting experiences in their rooms and all over the hotel. From shadow figures, to poltergeist activity and ghostly cats, to something more dangerous and malevolent... the Jerome Grand Hotel has no shortage of terrifying stories.
