The Screaming Woman of Bisbee: Haunting at the Copper Queen Hotel

Introduction

Nestled in the historic mining town of Bisbee, Arizona, the Copper Queen Hotel is famous for its Victorian charm — and infamous for its ghosts.

One spirit, known as the Screaming Woman, is perhaps the most unsettling. Guests and staff alike have reported hearing blood-curdling screams, often emanating from Room 315.

Who Was the Screaming Woman?

Legend holds that Julia Lowell, a young sex worker from the early 1900s, fell in love with a prominent businessman who rejected her. In despair, she took her life in the hotel.

Since then, strange activity has centered on Room 315:

✅ Whispering voices

✅ Sudden temperature drops

✅ The sound of high heels pacing at night

✅ Loud screams with no known source

Firsthand Accounts

• A 2021 guest wrote on TripAdvisor:

“I was in Room 315 and woke up at 3:12 AM to a woman screaming. Checked the hallway — empty. Front desk said I wasn’t the first.”

• A Copper Queen staff member told a Tucson news crew:

“She screams when men stay alone in that room.”

Skeptical Views

Some skeptics argue the sounds may be:

✅ Nearby street noise echoing in the old structure

✅ Plumbing or heating system noises

✅ Imagination fueled by the hotel’s haunted reputation

But consistent reports over decades suggest something more.
