Halloween
weekend is the perfect time to visit Arizona’s ghost
towns, and we’ll take a haunting jaunt through several
of them. The eccentric and eclectic Jerome, not quite yet
ready to admit its ghost town status, will inspire you as
you photograph old door frames and mining ruins here. Towns
like Cleator, Crown King and Bumble Bee will also give you
plenty of eerie reminders of the past to photograph. But the
highlight of the trip will be Wickenburg’s Vulture Mine.
Miners
left behind books, shirts, sewing machines and mining equipment
in its extensive ruins. The traces of their lives are now
only memories frozen in time. But what was that you just heard?
A creaking floorboard or a ghost come to protect its haunt?
Whether or not you believe in ghosts, you’ll have to
admit these places are filled with the spirit of the Old West
and the adventurous souls who settled it.
