The Jerome Grand Hotel, originally the United Verde Hospital, photographed in 2013.

JEROME, ARIZONA — Above the steep streets of a former copper-mining town stands a hotel that began as a hospital. Its corridors once served patients and medical staff. Today, the Jerome Grand Hotel carries stories of unexplained footsteps, voices, and an elevator legend that has become part of Arizona’s haunted landscape.

The white facade and red roof of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

ESTES PARK, COLORADO — A grand hotel preparing to close for winter. Almost-empty corridors. A nightmare that would become a novel. Stephen King’s visit to the Stanley Hotel helped create The Shining, but the real Colorado landmark has a history and a haunting tradition of its own.

The historic white-columned mansion at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

HURRICANE MILLS, TENNESSEE — Behind the white columns of Loretta Lynn’s historic mansion is a family story country music fans may not expect. A crying woman on a balcony. Figures said to resemble Civil War soldiers. Strange incidents around a staircase. At Hurricane Mills, the haunting tradition is woven into the life of the family that called the ranch home.

We went to Big Nose Kate's Saloon in Tombstone to hear a live band after spending the day filming a travel vlog. By the time we returned to our RV, my ex-wife's legs were covered in unexplained scratches, some of them bleeding. Later, I discovered something else on my camera's SD card: unusually large orb-like shapes in photos taken at the Bird Cage Theatre earlier that day. This is what I remember about that night.

The stage and seating of Ryman Auditorium seen from an upper balcony before a 2015 performance.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — The Ryman Auditorium is a place where a voice can seem larger than the person singing. After the audience leaves, its wooden pews, balconies, and stage carry a different kind of story: reports of footsteps, shadowy figures, and country music legends who supposedly never finished their final encore.
