#59 – Jerome AZ
365 Reasons to Live in Sedona

Greetings from Rob & Pam Schabatka – Broker/Owners of REMAX Sedona…

Living in Sedona, we feel very fortunate for our location in proximity to the many interesting towns in the Verde Valley, particularly Jerome, AZ. Legendary for being the “One of America’s Most Vertical City” and “Arizona’s Best Ghost Town” Jerome is a must-see for any Arizona tourist.

We love Jerome for the year-round artistic atmosphere and unique boutique shops. Taking a drive up Cleopatra Hill to spend the day browsing and people watching is never a dull experience. During the month of October Jerome has several spooky events, including a Guided Ghost Walk and the Fireman’s Halloween Ball.

Jerome’s Halloween Ball

On Friday, October 29^th the Jerome Firemen will host the 35^th annual Halloween Ball located at Spook Hall on Hull Ave. This adult only ball has been voted the ‘best costume party in the United States’. Starting at 8pm this $10 event includes live entertainment and a cash bar, with all proceeds benefiting the local fire department. If you have too much fun in Jerome, don’t worry. There is a “haunted” hotel that may have space to accommodate “patients”.

The Haunted Hotel

We dare all of you audacious people to spend the night in the Jerome Grand Hotel in the days near Halloween. The hotel is located in the historically renovated building of twentieth century hospital that has been haunted since its days of treating patients with psychological illnesses. HauntedHouses.com claims,

“The people in the hospital and today in the hotel hear talking, coughing, hard breathing, moaning and cries of distress from pain on every floor, which came not from the living patients / people themselves but from past ones no longer there in bodily form.”

Spend a night in the Grand Hotel and you might just get more entertainment than you paid for.

If you are interested in reveling in Jerome’s unique atmosphere but would like to come home at the end of the day to a quieter ambiance, you may want to consider Sedona.
