Long-running Tucson multi-vendor antique mall · Locally documented haunted-object reputation
The 22nd Street Antique Mall opened in 2005 as a multi-vendor antique store at 5302 E 22nd Street on Tucson's east side. It is run by Myra and Paul Rees and houses dozens of dealer booths across a large floor, with a second-story space of more than 5,000 square feet used for an annual Christmas market and other seasonal events.
Over the years the mall became known around Tucson less for any single antique than for the experiences staff and customers describe inside it. A 2019 segment by the Tucson television station KOLD profiled the reports, and the Pima County Public Library's local ghost-lore writeup lists the mall among the city's better-known haunted spots.
Longtime employee Emily Dimmick, who has worked at the mall for years, keeps a journal at the front counter where visitors log what they have seen or heard. She and others connect some of the activity to specific merchandise — particularly older items and war-era memorabilia — and note that reports tend to quiet down once a given piece is sold.
Sources
The accounts collected at the 22nd Street Antique Mall center on objects and figures inside the store. Visitors and staff describe an antique typewriter that produces typing sounds with no one at the keys and a rocking chair that moves on its own. The Pima County Public Library's writeup adds reports of a woman in a long dress seen above the floor and the figure of a little girl.
In the 2019 KOLD segment, employee Emily Dimmick described hearing voices say staff members' names when no one is there, radios and lights switching on and off, and phones ringing without a caller. She keeps a counter journal of visitor experiences and suspects some activity arrives with particular pieces of merchandise — singling out a case of war-era memorabilia — with reports easing once items sell. Longtime customers remain split on the claims, and at least one regular profiled in the same report stays openly skeptical.

The Modern Languages Building is an active classroom and office building on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, housing language departments and a lecture auditorium. Campus folklore holds that human remains were found during construction in the mid-1960s, a claim that is not corroborated in primary sources.

The Catholic presence in Tucson traces to a presidio chapel established in the 1770s. The current cathedral building dates to an 1897 brick construction on the site of the 1858 parish church. The distinctive Mexican baroque stone facade was added in 1928 and rededicated in 2011 following a major renovation.

The Museum of Shadows is the creation of Nate Raterman, a demonologist and paranormal investigator with more than two decades of casework. Raterman opened the original location in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Pensacola branch opened in late 2024. The collection contains over 5,000 objects that Raterman and his team deemed genuinely active during investigations — ranging from allegedly cursed Ouija boards and haunted dolls to items used in criminal acts and human remains. The museum bills itself as the most haunted museum in the world.
