About the author
Debe Branning writes regional ghost-story and paranormal guides centred on Arizona and the American Southwest. Haunted Phoenix (2019, History Press) traces the city's reputed hauntings back through Hohokam history and the Pueblo Grande Ruins. Grand Canyon Ghost Stories: Spooky Tales About Grand Canyon National Park (2012, Riverbend) collects local legends tied to specific sites within the park, including accounts connected to the Colorado River. Sleeping with Ghosts!: A Ghost Hunter's Guide to Arizona's Haunted Hotels and Inns (Primer Publishers) surveys twenty-nine lodging establishments across the state, combining eyewitness accounts with historical background. Across these books Branning works in the field-guide mode of regional ghost-hunting literature: short, place-based entries built from local history and reported sightings rather than broader theoretical or spiritual argument. Her books suit readers interested in Southwestern folklore and travel-adjacent ghost tourism more than in paranormal research as such.
