With an afterword by Dr. Karen J. Renner

Haunted Flagstaff book cover

The spirits of the Old West are alive and kicking in Flagstaff. At the Weatherford Hotel, strange sightings and disturbing events are not confined to the Zane Grey Ballroom. At the Hotel Monte Vista, locals swear the Grizzly Meat Man still roams the hallways. The historic train depot keeps a ghostly former conductor on the schedule.

Susan Johnson uncovers the supernatural side of Flagstaff’s fascinating history: a mountain town’s documented hauntings, told with a historian’s sourcing rather than a campfire whisper.
