Spirits In The Museum
All of the museums at the University of Arizona are built on top of the ancient sites of the now lost (or almost) American Indian Tribes of the Hohokam, and many others in more recent times including the Apaches, Pascua Yaqui (Toltec's from ancient Mexico), Papago, Sand Papago, and Tohono O'Odham-"People of the Desert"-(Hohokam descendents).
At what is now the Arizona Museum on the west side of campus closest to the rock wall on Park Ave, was in 1885 at just the very extreme desert edges of the Territorial University of Arizona's property. It was the very early 1930's and the U.S. was deep into a world wide economic depression that had millions of North Americans out of work, homeless, jobless, and looking for their next meals.
The current Museum located there at the University of Arizona houses the many exhibits featuring thousands of artifacts from Tucson's ancient residents. The first floor is open to the public with collections and exhibits. But, up on the 2nd floor the public and employees have never been allowed any access since the opening of the museum. Behind the many 2nf floor hall doors are unknown and unmarked rooms containing collections of specimens from all the ancient peoples of what is now Arizona.
Student docents and regular University employees have all reported for many years the many strange happenings and noises they have regularly experienced during their time within the old musty walls and halls of the old museum.
