Welcome To Glendale Ghosts
The evolution into the modern era opened the doors for financial turmoil, crime, and mass casualties, setting the stage for Glendale’s most harrowing and unsettling hauntings. Explore the darker side of the “Home of The Fighter Pilot” on a heart-pounding otherworldly journey with Glendale Ghosts.
Picturesque by Day, Precarious by Night
This brick storefront may appear charming in the light of day, but at night, it holds a far more mysterious ambiance. Within, people periodically experience an eerie feeling. Besides creaking floors and nocturnal noises, there’s also something unsettling about the staircase in the gift shop. Could this be Robert Cole himself?
It’s easy to chalk up the occurrences in an old house such as this to the home’s age, but many witnesses would disagree. Venture with Glendale Ghosts to hear the story of this hundred-year-old house and discover the legends of the nearby Sahuaro Ranch Park.
Amidst the rows of palms and citrus trees, a legendary Lady in White appears and vanishes. Tales of a strange little boy are also reported to entertain visitors. Some have felt a sudden uncomfortable feeling, like a tightness in the chest. Could this be connected to the unfortunate fate of the previous ranch owner’s young son, Tommy? Uncover this tragic tale and its link to the oppressive feeling guests experience on this spooky journey with Glendale Ghosts.
What Will I See?
Visit Glendale’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:
- Velma Teague Library – Originally founded by Stanford graduate, Victor Messinger, the Velma Teague Library is named in honor of longtime librarian Velma Teague. Some visitors today feel a certain presence in this library, whether in the form of a visage of a long-haired woman in an olden dress or books mysteriously falling off shelves. Is it Velma suggesting a good read?
- Arizona Doll and Toy Museum – Housing a vast collection of antique dolls, toys, and other children’s items, the Arizona Doll and Toy Museum occupies an unassumingly quaint residence. In contrast to its sweet appearance, this site is rumored to contain dolls that emanate an otherworldly vibe and unsettling nature.
- Gaslight Inn – Known to many longtime residents of Glendale as the once location of Brown’s Furniture Company, this building is now known as a hub for haunted activity. The Gaslight Inn may no longer be in operation, but the more spectral patrons don’t seem to mind, including the infamous figure known as the “The Shadow Man.”
Scholarly Haunts
At the Velma Teague Library, overdue library books are the least of anyone’s concerns. Velma Teague, whom many library patrons suspect of being the “library ghost,” is rumored to roam the library grounds still.
Accounts of books falling off shelves at patrons’ feet remain a common occurrence for visitors during the day. At night, her presence is even more prominent. Staff have reported a more material manifestation of a woman with long hair in old-timey garb. Just why might this former book lover be so reluctant to retire?
Venture on a tour with Glendale Ghosts to hear more haunting tales of the Velma Teague Library ghost and immerse yourself in the haunted history of this literary location.
Eerie Eyes with Eternal Gazes
Dolls make wonderful toys for little girls and boys, except when they’re haunted. The Arizona Doll and Toy Museum displays many playthings, figures, and dollhouses within its walls—all from decades ago. But it’s believed the dolls tend to move about, usually just outside the edges of sight. Could something be lurking in one of the dolls, hoping an unknowing customer takes it home?
Or perhaps the source of these unsettling feelings may be related to the store’s original location in Phoenix, which continues to experience strange occurrences today. Skulking in the basement of this previous location sits a number of decaying dolls considered too creepy to make the move to the museum.
Several have gone missing over the years—maybe one decided to make the trip to the new location after all. Probe deeper into the story of these haunted playthings with Glendale Ghosts to reveal the secrets behind these unblinking dolls’ eyes.
Why is Glendale so Haunted?
Phantom Pizza Favorites
La Piazza Al Forno may be known for its appearance on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, but its competitor is known as the notorious haunt. Venture to the location that TV made famous, where Glendale Ghosts will introduce you to the Pizza Hut that unexplained activity made famous.
While La Piazza Al Forno is frequented by residents and travelers, the Pizza Hut on Glendale Avenue includes a different sort of clientele. Believed to be one of the most haunted restaurants in the city, the ghost of this locale appears to enjoy pulling pranks on staff and patrons alike.
Eerie activity, such as bathroom faucets turning on and off on their own and items flying off the walls, has been reported by unsuspecting witnesses. Who is the troublesome phantom that refuses to move on in the afterlife? Embark on a fright-filled Glendale ghost tour to hear the creepy tales of the phantom suspects possibly responsible for the unearthly chaos.
Government Ghosts
There is no shortage of legends in Glendale, including haunted fire stations, freaky schools, and doomed dormitories. Venture with Glendale Ghosts on an exploration of the angered spirits, disembodied voices, and unexplained activity that plague these government buildings.
Hear the tale of a vengeful spirit that haunts the fire station after dark. Take a sinister stroll along the streets of Glendale to discover why this vindictive spirit has made its presence known to the Glendale firefighters over the years.
Then, there are the spirits of Deer Valley High. A teenage boy is believed to haunt these halls on occasion, tampering with the school equipment in the auditorium, but he’s not the only phantom figure in the eerie institution. Could the ghostly residents be fueled by the juvenile energy surrounding them, or are they simply acting out, jealous of their youthful, still-living counterparts? Find out on a spine-chilling ghost tour with Glendale Ghosts.
Glendale’s Most Haunted
No one is allowed in the Goodyear Farms Historic Cemetery at night—not that anyone would want to tread these hallowed grounds at such an hour. This Avondale site is known for its persistent hauntings of migrant workers buried as far back as 1912.
The unmarked graves that line this plot of land contain the bodies of those who farmed the surrounding terrain, some of whom labored so hard that they worked themselves to death. Their phantom figures are sometimes still seen in the shadows of night, yearning for their homeland.
In the nearby town of Peoria, another high school proclaims echoes of a ghostly pupil. Peoria High School is known for an apparition that frequents the school’s catwalk near the Performing Arts Center. It’s said that this presence is the spirit of a student who fell from the walkway and tragically died. Is this phantom figure unaware of their sudden passing? Or are they unwilling to leave their alma mater?
