Summary
Southeastern Arizona is haunted by a history steeped in gunfights, greed, and restless spirits. Best known for the infamous Gunfight at the OK Corral, Cochise County’s ghosts roam from Tombstone’s Boot Hill Cemetery to the Avenue Hotel in Douglas, where young Mabel’s tragic tale remains unsolved. Across the county in Bisbee, the spirit of a dedicated fireman still fights unseen flames. Our guest, Francine Powers, is an award-winning journalist, Cochise County Historical Society member, and editor-in-chief of the former magazine “Spirits of Cochise County.” She’s authored “Mi Reina: Don’t Be Afraid,” “Haunted Bisbee,” and most recently, “Haunted Cochise County.” Discover the layers of history, mystery, and spectral intrigue that make Southeastern Arizona one of the most paranormally active regions in the country.
