Around Arizona, there are rumors that plenty of places around the state are haunted: restaurants, hotels, prisons, sometimes even entire towns! But you’ll find that the number of haunted places located underground is pretty low. In fact, we know of one that just happens to be 210 feet below the surface.
A step in any cave can feel a bit eerie, especially if it’s your very first time. The cool environment, small spaces, and endless darkness can induce a sense of claustrophobia in anyone.

Tour guides tend to make things a little easier and comfortable for visitors, like those at Grand Canyon Caverns. But stepping into a haunted cave? That’s something else entirely.

Grand Canyon Caverns in Peach Springs is one Arizona cave rumored to be haunted. Over the last half century, eight people have lost their lives or been buried deep underground in the cavern and some people have reported ghost sightings., even in the years before popular ghost hunting shows graced television screens.

There seems to be no one ghost with a name that roams the caverns, although the owners say visitors and employees have sighted unexplained shadows, voices, and even a brief body hanging from the cavern ceiling. They are thought to be miners and people from the Hualapai tribe.

Grand Canyon Caverns offers a special ghost walk, which is a two-hour tour that goes into deep detail about the caverns and a chance to hunt for them with EMF meters. You might find other spooky sights during your tour, such as the mummified remains of a bob cat.
