Entry No. 43 — the Phoenix file — filed under: haunted

Rock Springs Cafe

A former military bivouac and stagecoach water stop dating to the 1880s, formalized in 1918 as an adobe general store, hotel, and saloon along the old wagon road — now a roadside pie institution on I-17. Staff and travelers report shadowy figures and unexplained roadside encounters tied to the site's century-plus of transient guests.

The move: Make the short drive north for pie and coffee at the counter where stagecoach passengers once waited, and ask a longtime server whether they've had a 'guest' who never checked out.
