The unexplainable happen at the Sosa-Carrillo-Fremont House, named after three of its prominent occupants. Doors open and close--seemingly on their own. The sounds of papers shuffling in a room with no one in it. Sightings of a person hunching over, grabbing their stomach and the vision of someone standing at the large mirror. These are just a few of the phenomenons reported here. Do ghost of the three Carrillo family members who died in the home now haunt it?
The assistant curator of the historic adobe house, originally built in the 1870s, thinks so. Located in the Tucson Convention Center complex and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house, built by the Sosa family was later sold to the Carrillo family and is said to have been the rented home of the fifth territorial governor of Arizona, John C. Fremont. To learn more about Tucson’s early history and the families that helped shape it, visit the Fremont House, open Wednesday through Saturday. Admission fee required.
To find the box:
Start at the historical site marker at the front of Sosa-Carrillo-Fremont House. From the marker, follow the sidewalk along the south side of the house for 47 steps until you align with Calle Principal. Now step off the sidewalk to your left and follow the tan wall east for 35 steps. Stop at the large chunk of concrete and look under the pile of rocks next to the wall. Beware. You never know who is watching.
