Location Description and History

A historical home in Bisbee, the Oliver house is haunted by several spirits. Edith Oliver built the house for executives of the various mining companies until they all merged in the Dodge Phillips corporation. The house has also served as a boarding house for miners. Twenty seven people have died in the home since its construction. The house is also the scene of a unsolved murder. In the late 1800's, Nathan Anderson was shot between the eyes in the room at the top of the staircase. It is rumored that Anderson was bedding the wife of a local policeman who shot them both before heading downstairs to kill everyone in the parlor. He then committed suicide.

In the Grandma room a older lady died of natural causes and seems to stay in the residence as a kind of protector. She moves the rocking chair and prefers to rock in front of the window. She is seen late at night in the room, either in the rocking chair or dusting the room.

People staying in the Purple Sage room have witnessed the shutters and doors opening and closing by themselves.

The Plum room has moving cold spots and people have the feeling of being watched.

This was a recon of the location to see if enough interesting events had occurred to deem it worthy of an in depth ghost hunt.

After talking to the caretakers of this Bed and Breakfast, we were given a tour of the building. We took photographs and EM readings as we went along. In the Plum Room we located several interesting electromagnetic fields that seemed to be in motion. As jessica measured the field on one side of the bed, it would move over to the other side of the bed. This process continued for several minutes until the EM field vanished completely and could not be reacquired.
