There are reportedly three resident ghosts in the Copper Queen Hotel. One of the ghostly residents is an older gentleman with long hair and a beard. He is usually seen wearing a top hat and a black cape.
Guests and staff have claimed to smell the aroma of cigar either before or after seeing him. He mostly appears in the doorway and sometimes as a shadow in the rooms which are located on the fourth floor.
The second ghost and perhaps the most famous is that of a woman in her thirties by the name of Julia Lowell.
It is said that she was a prostitute and she used the hotel for her and her clients. She fell madly in love with one of her clients, and when she told him this, he no longer wanted to see her. She took her own life at the hotel.
Guests and staff at the hotel say that they feel her presence on the second and third floors of the west side of the building. Male staff and guests have reported hearing a female voice whispering in their ear.
She likes to play with men's feet. Others have also reported seeing her dancing provocatively at the foot of the stairs. As a tribute to her, one of the rooms in the hotel is named the Julia Lowell room.
The third ghost is also the youngest and it is the ghost of a little boy. His presence in the hotel is explained through his relatives or parents who once worked at the hotel. It is reported that he drowned in the San Pedro River.
Guests have reported objects being moved by the little ghost in their rooms. Others have reported hearing footsteps in the halls and giggling. The little boy's spirit has never been seen, only heard.
