  2. Two Guns: The Apache Death Cave

    11/01/2025

    Two Guns: The Apache Death Cave

    Its story is a tangled narrative of murder, misfortune, and myth. The very ground is said to be cursed, haunted by the spirits of a 19th-century massacre that unfolded in a limestone cave beneath the town. Yet, a closer examination reveals a different kind of story—one of ambition, violence, and the slow, inevitable death that comes when the highway moves on. The central question of Two Guns is whether its tragic history is the result of a supernatural curse born from blood-soaked ground, or a collection of very human failings—greed, murder, and bad luck—that were later woven into a legend far more compelling than the truth. The Arizona Files explores Two Guns, a ghost town that died not once, but many times over.

    Jerome: The Wicked Billion-Dollar Hill

    There are towns that rest upon the land... and then there's Jerome. More than a mile above sea level, it doesn't rest. It clings to the thirty-degree slope of Cleopatra Hill. A collection of weathered brick and timeworn timber that seems to defy gravity itself. As you walk through Jerome you feel a subtle sense of unease. As if the very ground beneath your feet is not to be trusted. This feeling is not an illusion. The Arizona Files explores Jerome, Arizona. At one time it was branded as "America's Largest Ghost Town." This episode was based on the blog/article at World Of Arizona: https://worldofarizona.com/jerome-the-wicked-billion-dollar-hill/

  4. Arizona Bigfoot: The Mogollon Monster

    Arizona Bigfoot: The Mogollon Monster

    It is not the call of a coyote or the hoot of an owl. It is a sound that scrapes at the very foundation of primal fear. Reports from over a century describe it with unnerving consistency: a “blood-curdling” scream, an “unearthly” screech that sounds chillingly like a woman in the throes of some “great distress”. This is the herald of the Mogollon Monster, Arizona’s homegrown variant of Bigfoot, a legend that has stalked this rugged corner of the American Southwest for well over a century.
