We conducted an EVP session and seance in the attic of the Gila County jail in Globe. This is where Sharon saw a full-body apparition a few years earlier. It did feel like we were not alone.
I think the scariest picture here is the one of the guy looking back at you. I guess anyone could look scary if their eyes were glowing under night vision!
Immersed in the Hereford’s history in Eagar, AZ, sits the 26 Bar Ranch. It was first known as the Milky Way Ranch in the 1940’s with its big white show barn which housed many Hereford cattle. The barn is now a local landmark. In 1964 the ranch became the 26 Bar Ranch or John Wayne’s Ranch, who was one of the owners. Wayne, along with Ken Reafsnyder and Louis Johnson, his business partners, kept the ranch until John Wayne’s death in 1979 from lung and stomach cancer. Lately, I have heard rumors that Bigfoot has been seen near the ranch. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it would be worth checking out. John Wayne and Louis Johnson
There are many strange stories in the Arizona files. One that is told is about the mummy found in the desert near Gila Bend nicknamed “Sylvester”. Many believe that he once was a 19th century cowboy, a con that loved to play cards. Stories are told that he finally got caught cheating and was shot in the stomach. He made a hasty exit while bleeding profusely from his wound. He got as far as Arizona’s Gila Bend desert when he fell off his horse and died face down in the sweltering heat.

The more believable story was that he was found shortly after death and preserved in a high level of arsenic. Arsenic was used to stop the physical occurrences of a corpse rotting by killing bacteria and insects that invaded it. This custom of using arsenic was found to be poisonous by the 1900’s and never ...
If you are driving along Interstate 40 in Arizona, you will come across Exit 157 which is about 40 miles west of Flagstaff. The sign on the exit displays the name “Devil Dog Road”. The story of the name centers on Dr. Olive Goddard who was a preacher in the early 1900’s. Goddard was a “self-proclaimed prophet and theologian” and known as “Dr. God” and “The Prophetess of Devil Dog Road”. Her unconventional theology caused lots of debate among the followers of her parish. In the 1920’s, Goddard grew an unsavory reputation throughout American culture.

ReplyDeleteIs Arizona the site of all thing ghosty? Or just all things left deserted.
ReplyDeleteLGH, Lois & Bubba, thanks. It was very creepy up there and I felt like we were not alone.
ReplyDeleteSis, I was hot up there. I can imagine the combination of hot and chills would be unsettling.
Haha, yes Jessica more creepy toilets.
Justine, nightvision pictures are very interesting and spooky. Our friend does look a bit like a ghostly observer.
MM, both. If it is abandoned and haunted, we will find it.
Agree with Jess regarding creepy toilet! ;) Yet there's some energy that is odd in a couple of others pics. Hmmm... :)
