Road Trip After Dark #3 : Arizona

Hey, this is Buried but Not Boring and I’m your host, Hagen. It’s the first day of fall, and we’re rolling into Arizona for our next Road Trip After Dark stop. From haunted hotels and ghost towns to infamous true crime cases and desert conspiracy theories, Arizona has no shortage of chills. We’ll check into the haunted Hotel Monte Vista, wander the halls of the Jerome Grand Hotel, and brave the eerie silence of Yuma Territorial Prison. Then it’s on to the dark crimes of Winnie Ruth Judd, Jodi Arias, and the still-missing Robert Fisher. And of course, we can’t leave Arizona without digging into mysteries like the Phoenix Lights, skinwalker legends, and the strange secrets of the Superstition Mountains. Curl up with a blanket—it’s finally hoodie weather—and let’s dive into Arizona’s spooky side.
