Casey Moore's Oyster House (W.A. Moeur House) · Arizona State University campus ghost lore
US Ghost Adventures markets its Tempe, Arizona program under the city-specific brand 'Tempe Ghosts,' with the flagship product titled 'Tombstone, Twilight, & Terror: Tempe Ghost Tour.' The tour meets nightly outside Casey Moore's Oyster House, 850 S Ash Ave, a restaurant occupying the historic W.A. Moeur House, for a roughly 1-hour, 1-mile walk through downtown Tempe near the Arizona State University campus.
The route draws on ASU's long tradition of campus ghost lore, referencing Palo Verde East residence hall and the A.J. Matthews Center, one of ASU's most historic buildings, alongside Casey Moore's own history as a restaurant built inside a 19th-century home.

ApparitionsReported sounds/footstepsShadow figures
According to US Ghost Adventures' own promotional material for the Tempe Ghosts program, Casey Moore's Oyster House is home to at least three spirits: a benevolent, dancing apparition seen in a second-floor window; an unnamed, more hostile spirit the operator ties to the building's past as a bordello; and a spirit the operator calls Sarah, said to have died at the hands of a jealous lover.
At Palo Verde East, an ASU residence hall, the operator recounts a student legend of a shadowy figure on the sixth floor, tied by campus folklore to a young woman's death by suicide years earlier; HauntBound does not name any individual in connection with this legend. At the A.J. Matthews Center, the operator describes recurring stories among ASU students of a 'ghostly librarian' and an 'old lady' reportedly seen in the basement.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
