I did a post some time ago about the rate of hauntings in the City of Mesa, Arizona. I'd like to follow it up because I have for years gotten people contacting me about these issues and the post I wrote got a substantial response.
People in the area report:
Voices
Knocking
Doors opening and closing
Apparitions
Feelings of being watched/doom/uncomfortable
Shadow people
Objects being thrown
Pets acting strangely
I am going to give some regions of the town I've heard from just from that post alone:
University west of the 101: (talking, footsteps, heavy sensation)
Country Club, North of 8th Ave: (report of haunting)
University and Gilbert: (footsteps, shuffling sounds, voices, uneasy heavy feeling, cat and child reported but not living there)
West of Ellsworth between McDowell and McKellips: (seeing things in windows, voices)
Main and Extension: (heavy feelings, unsettling)
East of Country Club, South of Brown: (small child, growls, cabinet opening, mists, crying, screaming, shadow figures, eerie feelings)
Country Club, south of Broadway: (talking, touching, shadow person, apparitions)
University and Gilbert: (footsteps, shuffling sounds, voices, uneasy heavy feeling, cat and child reported but not living there)

University, East of Ellsworth: (someone reporting a haunting)
Country Club and Guadalupe: (balls of light, feeling of being watched, objects moving, tapping on window, scratching on walls, child reporting apparition, electrical turning on and off, adult saw apparition of boy in overalls)
First Avenue, East of Mesa Dr.: (report of tunnels under the old downtown area from the Mormon Temple and outward)
I'm going to be working on this with more vigor in 2016 because I'm looking for characteristics that might explain an entire city having issues with haunting more than the usual. I'm all about commonalities and repeatability.
If anyone has more to add to the list, please leave a comment. You can do so anonymously. I am curious what features you report and where the location is. I have found so far from the reports I get that the area around Country Club and Brown seems to be the heart of activity.
