On Untold Arizona, KJZZ usually tells unusual stories about the state. Now, we’ve turned the storytelling over to you. We asked listeners to send their Arizona ghost stories to The Show during the month of October and listeners have certainly delivered.

The Arizona Research Library is home to more than four million pages of historic state newspapers.
Last month, KJZZ honored Arizona on the 108th anniversary of its statehood with its Untold Arizona series. But the addition of the 48th state was far from the only story filling the pages of Arizona newspapers in 1912.
Through our Q&AZ reporting project, a listener asked us to explore those headlines. So I took a walk through the state archives to dig them up.

“I have over 4 million pages and there’s over 700 titles and growing because we’re still collecting,” Peterson said. “And they’re all published in Arizona.”
