The story
The Spirit Room occupies the ground floor of the Connor Hotel, which was built in 1898 during Jerome's copper mining boom. Although the hotel itself was largely destroyed by fire in 1899 and later rebuilt, it remained a prominent landmark in the town for decades. Today, the Spirit Room is considered the most active area of the former hotel, with bartenders, staff and patrons reporting unexplained phenomena after dark. Stories include bottles moving on their own, the jukebox switching on and off without anyone nearby, and the apparition of a woman believed by some to have been a former "working girl", who is said to appear in the mirror behind the bar.
