Jerome Arizona Ghost Hunting & Photography Tour

Weekend Ghost Hunt

October 2023 – Sold Out

3 Days/2 Nights – Oct 25 – 27th, 2024

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey with a renowned award-winning photographer/psychic medium into the depths of the most haunted town in the USA. Partake in your education of photography and supernatural activities, but remember, this is not a game. As you adventure through this land of seclusion, you may feel the presence of otherworldly spirits, which bring with them an aura of dread and awe. Any sign of doubt or disrespect may incur their wrath; venture forth with only big smiles and creepy stories at the ready. We have traveled to many places to ghost hunt, and this is one of the best places we have been to.

Photography Workshops by Day – Ghost Hunting by Night

The Tour is also great for those who wish to hunt spirits by night and photograph by day. It’s a tiny town, and almost every corner crawls with the unseen entities of the dark. Are you brave enough to venture without a camera in hand?

For the ghost-hunting part of the Tour, most apparitions come out only during the night, and that is when your true test of courage begins. Go Ghost Hunting and learn to hone your still photography skills with guidance from an international award-winning photographer…if you dare!

  • Beware! Our Tour will be fathomed deep in terror while you explore new realms of horror from here to beyond. It’s no game, but you will have developed some advanced photography skills if you make it out alive.
  • Learn to create spine-chilling dynamic photos and how to make money off your fear if you remain unscathed. Live on the edge while learning alien/trick photography from the acclaimed originator of alien photography herself!
  • Even the novice can do long-exposure trick photography on this Tour, where you learn alien/trick photography. (You MUST bring a tripod to survive). Entities will always lurk around each corner, testing our mettle as they reveal themselves to us.

This harrowing long weekend will have you trembling in terror after each session and maybe even in death. Join us on this photography ghost-hunting tour for the daring beginner and the seasoned ghost hunter.

Ghost-Hunting-Jerome-Arizona Grand Hotel

In 1988 The Jerome Grand Hotel was the Verde Hospital. It is said that 9,000 people died here. We are pretty convinced this is why it is so haunted. This is a stop on our tour where we will ghost hunt in the night hours to connect to those whose souls remain or visit us on this side.

In 1950, United Verde Hospital was abandoned. Its caretaker took his own life sometime in the 1980s. In 1996 the hospital was renovated into the Jerome Grand Hotel, one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, if not the world.

The town once had 15,000 residents and earned the nickname “The Wickedest City in the West” from people dying in gunfights, mining accidents, drug overdoses and other oddities. This may be another reason why the city is filled with apparitions.

With its four hundred or so residents, Jerome is currently an artist/tourist community very well known for celebrating its apparitions who reside here.

As you enter the eerie ghost-hunting tour, find yourself thrust into an abyss of darkness and fear. Test your limits with international award-winning photographer/psychic and navigate through a hallowed realm of photography horror. Challenge yourself to witness the most ethereal entities from beyond and capture them in their true form!

Feel the chills running down your spine as each of these ghastly apparitions makes its presence known to you. The daring adventure will be unlike any other you have ever experienced, even in your dreams.

Don’t forget to bring along your tripod to master the art of long-exposure trick photography as you bravely embark on this haunting weekend full of terror and thrills. Join us now for this ghost-hunting experience that will take your breath away. Hopefully, NOT literally.

We will visit the Original Mining company cemetery, which is over 100 years old, and do milky way photography.

Be right back getting more errie details for you.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is for the beginner photographer and or ghost hunter who wants an abundance of instruction to take photography skills to higher levels to the advanced pro who wants to fine-tune their skills. There will be group and one-on-one instructions to ensure you get the most out of the photography instructions and ghost-hunting lessons.

You can come along for the fun of ghost hunting or you can bring a DSLR camera or a regular point-and-shoot to capture images or bring all your ghost hunting gear if you are a seasoned pro.

This workshop is for those who understand we are all energy, and when we leave this physical realm, we transition to the other side or want to learn more about this.

It’s for people who want to have fun, enjoy life, and understand that destressing, meditation and having an attitude of gratefulness are keys to health and happiness.

We will spend our first arrival night Ghost Hunting, our haunted hotel where we will stay.

The next day, we will discuss/learn/practice photography at The Gold King Mine and Haunted Ghost Town. That late afternoon, we will dine at the Haunted Hamburger, our favorite Jerome Arizona Restaurant, and then hit the town at night for more Ghost Hunting.

The next day, we will explore the town’s hinterlands while immortalizing its eerie beauty. We must rest well, however, as we venture out at night to capture eternity in pictures. Led by Parnomal Pam, we will use our cameras to contact the other side and the local phantoms.

The tour includes a two-night stay, photography lessons, ghost hunting and an otherworldly thrill – learn to tap into a higher plane and interact with entities from beyond! Learn photography techniques while creating a bridge between this world and the next.

WHERE TO GHOST HUNT

CHURCHES

Old churches are always a good option for ghost hunting; paranormal activity is usually found in the graveyards attached to the churches—our article of the old tenant church, where the church and cemetery are massively haunted.

GRAVEYARDS

As the clock ticked closer to midnight, the air grew colder, and a mist began to form over the graveyard, swirling around the stones like a spectral caress. The sensory alteration that comes with this environment only heightened the ghost-hunting experience.

Graveyards are naturally associated with death and the hereafter, which mentally predisposes visitors to expect encounters with the supernatural. This psychological setup is a powerful catalyst for ghost hunting; it amplifies every sound and movement, transforming the ordinary into the potentially paranormal. Moreover, gravestones and crypts often bear dates and names that serve as tangible connections to the past.

BATTLEFIELDS 

The remnants of old battlefields hold more than just memories. A hauntingly active landscape lies in the northeastern United States, where the soil has soaked up centuries of struggle and bloodshed. From the rolling hills of Princeton in New Jersey to the surrounding countryside – all once touched by the flames of revolution – these sacred grounds are known for their eerie paranormal activity. Having ventured to a few such sites ourselves, we can attest to the chilling presence that still lingers, an inexplicable energy that seems to defy time.

HISTORIC SITES

The old, weathered buildings loomed in the darkness, their stone walls and ancient architecture giving off an eerie vibe. These historic sites, brimming with centuries of history and tales of the past, were perfect locations for ghost hunting. The creaking floors and whispered voices added to the spooky atmosphere, making it almost too easy to believe in the paranormal. Every corner held a hidden story waiting to be uncovered, and these old sites never failed to deliver chills and thrills to those brave enough to explore them. Whether it was the remnants of a long-gone civilization or the abandoned ruins of a once-grand estate, each location had its unique energy that beckoned the curious and daring. And as night fell and shadows danced on the walls, there was no doubt that this was where ghosts roamed free and spirits lingered in the afterlife.

OLD HOTELS

There is a plethora of reputedly haunted hotels in every state. We have visited numerous ones and witnessed paranormal occurrences at well-known locations. The internet is filled with articles detailing the whereabouts of these haunted hotels, listed for each state.

PREPARATIONS BEFORE YOU GO

Mentally, preparing yourself to face the unknown is a daunting task. It requires acknowledging that you may not always find what you’re searching for, and in some instances, you may come across unexpected discoveries. You must be willing to confront your fears and push past uncertainty, knowing that the journey ahead may hold challenges and rewards beyond your expectations.

As you arrive, set up a strong barrier against all evil spirits. Let them know with commanding authority that they are not welcome here and must stay away. This is a powerful and essential task for ensuring the safety and protection of all who enter this space. Be diligent and persistent in your efforts, leaving no room for any evil force to penetrate our boundaries.

GHOST HUNTING PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS

WHEN TO GO:

Any time is sufficient, but traditionally, the best results have been documented after 9 p.m.

A DSLR CAMERA:

A DSLR camera can be used for Ghost Hunting Photography but cannot see completely in the dark. You can use a red light to illuminate the area or bring a flashlight for focusing. If you can stand the insidious invasion of the paranormal, you can quickly obtain apparitions in your photos.

FULL SPECTRUM DIGITAL CAMERA:

It takes quality Full-Spectrum photos and videos. It has been professionally modified to accept deeper Ultraviolet (UV) light spectrum light, allowing pictures deep into the usually unseen light spectrum. It is best used with an external infrared light source.

INFRARED (IR) DIGITAL CAMERA:

These cameras take quality IR photos and video with the convenience and ease of a compact digital camera with a built-in infrared light source.

DSLR CAMERA LENS: 

Ghost hunting is a wide-angle lens event, but you ideally need a lens with an open aperture, such as 2.8 or below. The higher-end cameras will allow you to go to a very high ISO with less noise, so they are ideal. If you don’t have a high camera, any camera will do. After all, we are not going for super high-quality images here. We are going for a lot of paranormal activity that we can document. As long as we get evidence, it doesn’t always have to look pretty. Some of our lower-end camera images above are grain-filled, but we got what we were after.

GHOST HUNTING CAMERA SETTINGS

DSLR CAMERA SETTINGS:

For basic DSLR Photography, our goal is to capture activity that is not consistently high quality, but that’s ok—these are ghost photos.

  1. You must use a tripod when shooting in a dark area.
  2. Set your camera to manual mode.
  3. Put your camera on the 2-second timer or use a cable release.
  4. Set your ISO very high for very dark locations (example: 6400). The higher the number, the more light goes into the camera. You cannot shoot a DSLR in total darkness without some light source, such as a church light, a full moon, or a red light in the back of a room. Again, it’s not always about avoiding grain or digital noise here. ISO 100 is for outdoors in graveyards with decent lighting. See shooting in the dark below.
  5. Set your aperture to the lowest it will go. (ex. 2.8) to let more light in. If you need some depth of field, set it a little higher. You cannot go much higher in the darkness since the higher the number, the less light will come into the camera. Scroll your shutter speed until the meter reads center zero. You can take some test shots and adjust from there.
  6. To start, set your shutter speed to about 5 seconds. Then, again, adjust according to the light you have available.

EMF METERS:

Measure fluctuations in electromagnet fields (or EM fields). These fields directly result from electrical appliances in a home, cell phones, power lines outside, and even solar activity and weather fluctuations. Beyond that, a primary theory in the paranormal world is that entities can manipulate these fields to manifest themselves or interact with our world. When your meter goes off, do a long exposure on your tripod.

FOCUSING IN THE DARK:

Now you are set. If you do not have enough light or your camera will not focus, take a flashlight and light up a single subject in the picture. (Don’t blast light all over; you will disturb who you are there to find.) Put the focus point where the camera will focus on the area you have lit up. When you see the camera has obtained focus and the two-second timer starts, turn your flashlight off quickly before the exposure begins. The camera will now take the shot. Set your camera to manual focus without touching the focus ring. Take several pictures without moving your camera. You must refocus the same way every time you do different shots.

Another way to focus on darker areas is to turn on the live view. Hit your zoom button and zoom in on something lit. Expose your image. When you zoom in, the camera can see it better to grab focus. This method only works if you have enough light.

AFTER THE HUNT:

When the hunt is over, meticulously review each photograph, scouring for any evidence that may have been captured. Every detail must be examined with utmost care and attention to ensure no clue goes unnoticed. The case’s fate rests on this thorough examination, so take your time and leave no stone unturned to discern what paranormal activity is and is not.
