In the 1920s and ’30s, Jerome, Yavapai County, Arizona, was a picturesque mining town that encapsulated the image of the Old West. The streets were lined with saloons, drunken miners, and brothels in the town’s red-light district.One of the ladies of the night was Sammie Dean. She was stunningly beautiful even by today’s standards and acquired many admirers. On July 10, 1931, Dean’s lifeless body was found on the floor of her room in a section of town known as “Husbands’ Alley.” She had been beaten and strangled to death.Initially, police suspected that robbery was the motive because Dean was known to carry a large amount of cash on her at all times. When her body was found, all the cash was missing from her purse.In the years following Dean’s death, reports of apparitions in “Husbands’ Alley” began to surface. Some claimed that a female spirit roamed during the night. There were also reports of spectral voices in the empty inns and alleyways, slamming doors, the persistent scent of perfume, strange shadows, the feeling of being watched, and phantom footsteps echoing down the cobblestone and dirt roads.To this day, Jerome is known as ghost town that turns even the most skeptical critics into believers. The identity of Sammie Dean’s killer remains a mystery.
