About the author
Parker Anderson is credited with two History Press titles on Arizona ghost lore, Haunted Mining Towns of Arizona and Haunted Prescott. Haunted Mining Towns of Arizona surveys reported paranormal encounters across former mining boomtowns including Jerome, Bisbee, and Prescott, along with the state's scattered ghost towns, tying the stories to the region's mining-era economic history. Haunted Prescott narrows the focus to Arizona's first territorial capital, tracing supernatural lore connected to specific sites such as the Palace Restaurant alongside the city's founding history from 1864 onward. Both books follow the location-guide format common to the History Press ghost-story series, combining local history with collected accounts of hauntings site by site. They are aimed at readers interested in Arizona regional history and ghost tourism rather than at paranormal research methodology, and read as companion volumes covering adjoining parts of the same territory.
