Haunted Summer Vacations Continue: Amberian Peaks Lodge, Greer, AZ
In the last series they had quite a bit of strange stories. The main one was the interview with David Carradine. He passed away shortly afterward of his taping in the show. The interview on the show parallelled his death. http://www.tmz.com/person/david-corroding/
The second weird story is Ernie Hudson of the GB fame. As the story goes. He was asked by a hotel in Greer, AZ (as he said, "Of all places!") to come and visit. He said sure, and went with his wife and young son at the time. He was told by the owners that the place is haunted by a man and his bride that he just married. He killed her in one of the rooms there. It seems Mr. Hudson was not really a believer until the night he slept there. He saw a bright orb hovering on top of his son that was sleeping in the other bed. He woke up his wife. She witnessed it also. Then he saw a dark figure standing by the door. Both he and his wife were both staring at the figure. Then his son woke up and saw the same figure. They all ran down the hall to another room. Where they opened the door to feel a cold breeze go through them. Just one thing about this story. He never mentions the name of the hotel.
Fast Forward: A paranormal group did a little research due to the fact that they live out west. The only place that fits the description of the Amberian Peaks Lodge. When I was looking up the hotel's website they make a mention that it was abandoned when they found it. And, a "little" mention of a ghost. What a strange intriguing story. Hope someone takes a visit there to check out who the ghost is?

The only mention of "ghosts". But, it doesn't fit Mr. Hudson's story.

- The ghost at Amberian Point Resort is the son of the original owners. His name is Eddie Dentzer, nicknamed Zeke. He was killed up at Big Lake (or Bear Lake?) when his Jeep crashed. There have been multiple sightings of him in his jean jacket and white shirt. He was 20 years old when he was killed in 1975. My parent bought the resort from the Dentzers in the 80's, but it failed. Supposedly, the Dentzers couldn't handle the sightings and presence of their son in the resort, which made them shut down and put it up for sale.
- Ok time to put this to rest. I am Michael Dentzer Ok time to put this to rest. I am Michael Dentzer Grandson of the Dentzer's. No one I repeat No one was killed in our lodge. ANd the Ghost story is based upon when I was a lil kid and me and a friend Misty Petroff played with a IOuja board and spoke to someone who said his name was Zeke. We were trying to contact my dead great gradfsther. I asked grandma Dentzer if Daddad as we knew him ever knew anyone named Zeke? SHe said she thought that at one time He had a friend named Zeke. The Zeke Ghost story id a lot of Bunk used to generate publicity to get people to stay at the Lodge. If anyone haunts that place now it is My Uncle Eddie and and my grandparents. Eddie was Killed in 1976 Near Tunnel lake "Not big Lake". His Jeep rolled on him and crushed him it was afreak acident he was not speeding it was labor day night and it was cold out and he hit a frozen rock which flipped the jeep. The Dentzer's sold the resort after My grandfather was diagnosed with heart problems. They didn't mind that eddie was there in spirit. MY grandfather Died in the back room in 1991 and I left just before it happened. Again no one was killed there at the Amberian point lOdge. The new owners are nice people and are treating the place and the guests well. There is no Zeke ghost. Only Eddie and ED and Beulah Dentzer if they are there at all. Sincerely Michael A. Dentzer. Gilbert , Arizona. Posted by mike d at 9:44 AM Maria or Misty feel free to give me a call. my number is posted on my facebook page.
