Route 66 Paranormal Investigators, which bases much of its activities along the Route 66 corridor in western Arizona, is working on a highlight reel to pitch to television networks for a series, according to the Kingman Daily Miner.
Route 66 Paranormal Investigators has checked into the possibility of ghosts at the Powerhouse Visitors Center in Kingman, the Green house in Needles, California, and, most recently, the Kozy Korner Trailer Court in Valle Vista, Arizona. The latter is best-known for its large Giganticus Headicus tiki sculpture.
The art studio at Kozy Korner is owned by Gregg Arnold. Lyle Sharman led the paranormal team there:
The group was working on a 22-minute reel as a pitch to the Travel Channel and other outlets for a show in the vein of “Ghost Adventures.” Arnold offered the space to the group as a premiere location and hosted an event open to the community to see the video. […]
The location was very active, according to Sharman.
“We could hear the footsteps upstairs almost the minute we walked in. Everything we were using (K2, electromagnetic tools) was going off,” said Sharman.
The episode, which featured other locations along Route 66, would be familiar to fans of other ghost shows out there. Sharman starts off each location with an interview, discussing the lore of the location and what they hope to find.
The group didn’t find identify a ghost on Arnold’s property, but it surmised any paranormal activity might be from a doctor who once lived there.
The group’s YouTube channel, which contains footage of several instances of alleged paranormal activity, is here.

Hi Thanks for the article, however…
I just re-confirmed it with Lyle Sharman that they DID find a ghost, it just wasn’t identified. The location is actually Kingman, not Valle Vista, and that picture is 8 years old. If you would like an updated pic just let us know and we will be glad to send it 🙂
Thanks again for the write up. Gregg Arnold
Hi, I am very involved in the Route 66 revitalization movement in the Kingman area. This article seems to be incorrect in a some of it’s “facts” Just a suggestion: If you are the “news” arm for route 66, it would seem to me that you might want to contact some of the people actually involved in the story and get some information from them before publishing a story. Lyle and Gregg would certainly have been happy to give you correct spellings and current pictures to make you story even better. I would be happy to speak with you if you want to discuss how we can assist you.
I don’t have time to contact everyone each time an article appears in the local newspaper. I do this in my spare time, and I’ve found the Kingman paper to be credible enough over the years.
