No I haven't. Here is some info I found: http://www.azjerome.com/ Jerome, Arizona "America's Most Vertical City" and "Largest Ghost Town in America". Jerome ArizonaLocated high on top of Cleopatra Hill (5,200 feet) between Prescott and Flagstaff is the historic copper mining town of Jerome, Arizona. Once known as the wickedest town in the west, Jerome was a copper mining camp, growing from a settlement of tents to a roaring mining community. Four disastrous fires destroyed large sections of the town during its early history, resulting in the incorporation of the City of Jerome in 1899. Founded in 1876, Jerome was once the fourth largest city in the Arizona Territory. The population peaked at 15,000 in the 1920's. The Depression of the 1930's slowed the mining operation and the claim went to Phelps Dodge, who holds the claim today. World War II brought increased demand for copper, but after the war, demand slowed. Dependant on the copper market, Phelps Dodge Mine closed in 1953. The remaining 50 to 100 hardy souls promoted the town as a historic ghost town. In 1967 Jerome was designated a National Historic District by the federal government. Today Jerome is a thriving tourist and artist community with a population of about 450.

I hate that place! I went on a road trip there once. Theres two ways to get there the long way or the short way and go up the mountain. It was scary as shit trying to get there because we took the short way. If your afriad of hights dont go. as we were going up the mountainous area their is no fence things around the road so everytime you turn it looks like your driving right off into the forest. not to mention it got so hot up there that the car was starting to smell like burning and t smoked a bit. its beautiful scenery and that is ALL. sometimes there will be bands playiing and its loud. its an old town and some things are expensive, some are cheap. the only ghost thing is a restaurant/inn thing. and we didnt even get to go in. it was TERRIBLE
