Phoenix - San Carlos Hotel - haunted by suicide victim Leone Jensen who killed herself there. It's bad enough when you stay at a hotel and irresponsible parents allow their children to run (literally) up and down the halls, day and night. What can you do when the running children are ghosts? That's the long and the short of it at this hotel, which was built in the 1920s. It seems the hotel now occupies the site of the first elementary school in Phoenix.

Fort Hauchuca-Carleton House
One downstairs room was the morgue for the hospital. Things stacked and placed in this room are unaccountably scattered all over the place shortly afterwards. Things hanging on the walls fall crashing to the floor because the nails holding them are pulled out of the wall by an invisible force. Doorbells ring so persistently for no observable reason that occupants of the house disconnect them. Many residents and neighbors have seen the whitish apparition of a woman moving through the house and standing at the front door. One corner of a room which was a ward in the original hospital stays markedly colder than all other parts of the house, regardless of the weather, and contains a chandelier that seems to refuse to operate at night but functions just fine in the daylight.

Colossal Cave. 6 men robbed the Tucson Bank and escaped to the cave with the money...they hid the money and had a shoot out with the sheriff and his posse, and the money was never found by the sherriff, or anyone else, even today. You can take a tour of the cave and listen to the guides explain the legend, and talk about the other people who have gone into the cave to look for the money, but have never been successful. It's really interesting and beautiful, and weird.

The Sunnyslope Rock Garden is an odd cluster of tiny buildings, weird masks and rock fountains, on the front lawn of a house in a weedy, biker neighborhood.

Located off the Squaw Peak Parkway is supposedly a UFO crash site where in 1947 the Army Corp. of Eng. used rock to cover up what was a UFO crash in 1947. Actually the site was where the craft made contact with planet earth and then skipped some 10 miles north to where it eventually stopped. The Dreamy Draw Dam is now a small park that is supposed to prevent flood waters from inundating lower Phoenix -- or is it covering up debris from the contact of something from another world? Phoenix, Arizona

A few miles to the northeast of the World's Largest Sundial, in the residential community of Tonto Hills, stands a 39-foot-tall Kachina doll, unquestionably the world's largest. We think.

There are other big Kachina dolls spread around the southwest. It's a familiar bit of pseudo-Native American signage for motels, drive-ins and trading posts. This one stands in a circular rock garden facing south.

We ponder the surrounding spiny flora, the dry heated breeze, the almost solitude of the giant Kachina. There's not much else to do here; an adjacent vacant art studio is reportedly up for sale.

We head back down the way we came, past the Sundial, on our way to eat giant steaks and have our ties cut in half and tacked to the ceiling at the Pinnacle Peak Patio in Scottsdale.
