WHAT WILL I SEE?

 

The Rich and Famous Meet the Dead and Restless at Haunted Hotels

 

Don’t let this quaint and cozy town fool you. In its heyday, Old Town Flagstaff was a bonafide hot spot for the rich and famous with the lavish Hotel Monte Vista serving as the official gathering space. The hotel was not only host to a plethora of the era’s biggest celebrity stars, but was also home to some of the area’s most bone-chilling occurrences and unexplained sightings.

 

Hear firsthand how apparitions and incidents that plague the haunted hotel that are almost too many to count. Guests and employees alike have reported strange noises, furniture being moved, and even phone calls without a caller. That is just the tip of the eerie iceberg…

 

Before becoming a famous apparition himself, former hotel guest Mr. John Wayne–The Duke– reported seeing a bellboy in his room, with sightings of the young man being reported ever since, and other guests report the spirit of a bank robber who bled to death in the hotel’s lounge, supposedly still trying to enjoy his last drink.  

 

Join a Flagstaff Ghosts tour to uncover even more unbelievable encounters in all parts of the hotel.  The unexpected visitors from the land of the dead haunt locals, employees, hotel guests–anyone who decides to take even one step onto the property of the Hotel Monte Vista.  The stories will leave you breathless with chills…and that’s just one haunted stop on the thrilling ghost tour.

 

More Haunted Hotels Hide the Horrific

 

Hotel Monte Vista isn’t the only hotel that has an active and unexplained history. Uncover the true, frightening accounts of the Weatherford hotel. The original magnet of the elite is now a playground for the supernatural. The spirits that inhabit the hotel are in no short supply and consistently make themselves known to the hotel’s guests. 

 

Hear in horrors as the story of the floating woman reaches your ears. You’re sure to give her your undivided attention, as she’s been known to toss ice around the hotel bar when her presence is not acknowledged.

 

Those guests who love a good game of pool are often shocked and scared spitless when the spirit of a young child seems to scamper from underneath the billiards table. As if that isn’t spine-tingling enough, imagine the surprise when the child is gone in the next blink of an eye. Discover the gruesome tale of the couple that was found dead in room 54 but have yet to leave the place where they met their grisly end.

 

Listen in awe to these chilling stories and more as you dig deep into the past of Flagstaff and attempt to uncover the mysteries behind the sightings at its many haunted hotels and other historic locations. As spooky as that may sound, there is a pair of spirits that have creeped out the hotel’s staff and guests so terribly that the room in which the spirits reside is no longer available for bookings. The terrifying tales won’t, if you’re brave enough to continue, as you pull back layer after layer of untold history and reveal countless authentic ghost stories of this desert oasis.

 

From breathtaking sightings to the horrific, deafening sounds of arguing, the unexplained activity that possessed this hotel left one will either leave you shaking in your shoes or running for the nearest exit, even if it’s just to get to the next exciting stop.

 

WHY IS OLD TOWN FLAGSTAFF SO HAUNTED?

 

Undeniable Tragedies and Inescapable Truths

 

Death and debauchery are a sad and tragic reality of Flagstaff’s early beginnings. Originally the home of several Native tribes, Flagstaff was the product of Arizona becoming an American territory from Mexico in 1848. The U.S. Congress wanted to explore these new territories, so they sent out discovery parties to find resources, locate paths, and make maps.  When a group from Boston on the way to California celebrated the centennial of the U.S. in 1876, they left behind a stripped pine tree with an American Flag attached. Flagstaff quickly became a booming and bustling town following the opening of its first saloon. With its growth came the town’s first murder and a slew of horrific and mysterious ends to follow. 

 

Visit the Flagstaff Railroad Station where you’ll stand on the famous Route 66 in the exact spot where the town’s first bloodshed shook the townspeople to the point of vengeance.  Even though the railroad station brought settlers and supposed prosperity, it also brought the the dregs of the earth and the lowest of the low, who caused so much trouble amidst drinking and gambling in the saloons, the townspeople demanded a local government to stop the early afflictions of illegal activity, rampant violence and corruption. 

 

Hear the tragic tales of spirits of saloon killings’ victims on an authentic Flagstaff Ghosts tour.  Learn details of the desert town’s early days when men were killed weekly in Flagstaff’s saloons and how tired citizens rounded up card sharps, thieves, and camp robbers to leave them dangling on the branch of Flagstaff’s “hanging tree” near its present day city park.

 

Flagstaff’s first murder would set the stage for its continued downward spiral into the great fire of 1884 that destroyed much of Old Town, and even worse, the horrific murder of the 6-year old boy named Johnny Elden, Jr.  That crime, and the myth and mystery surrounding it in Flagstaff’s history, was one of the most infamous murders in the new territory and Johnny’s grave is the most visited grave in Northern Arizona.  

 

While no one has claimed to identify poor Johnny as one of the ghosts in Flagstaff, some say he may be the ghost under the pool table in Hotel Monte Vista, trying to enjoy his childhood rather than have it ended prematurely. 

 

 

Unsettled Spirits and Their Eternal Ties to Flagstaff

 

Flagstaff’s preservation of its origins is one to be in awe of. Even former residents will agree as they’ve yet to leave their home behind, even though they’ve left the land of the living. Learn the sad details of Dr. Ralph Oliver Raymond, the beloved physician of Flagstaff, who still resides in his home and former office nearly a century after his death. While his presence is said to be a friendly one, other visitors believe that it’s the pain and despair of his patients that fill the home with a feeling of emptiness and death.

 

For all the area’s natural beauty and the town’s divine atmosphere, there’s a truly dark and disturbing past that even the most picturesque views can’t disguise. The early 1900s saw the rise of prostitution with Old Town Flagstaff being home to its very own Red Light District. 

 

Discover how years of depravity and gross atrocities led to the appalling deaths of Madam Dutch May and her despicable boyfriend and why they continue to stalk the buildings that have replaced her brothels.
