The Crypt Haunted Attractions 2015

-

Sharon and I decided to do Halloween themed things while I was visiting her, so we hit a haunted event called, "The Crypt Haunted Attractions" at the Fiesta Mall.  Two years ago we went to this place and decided to give it another try.  We were glad we did because it was fun and scary.  There are three attractions, but we only did two.

The first place is known at "The Crypt" where the dearly departed are roaming around the many chambers that are hidden inside.  It was just the two of us that was lead inside by the crypt keeper.  We were given the rules of the place and sent on our way.  We wandered through a maze of vaults and spooky rooms where something or someone was always trying to get us.  We took turns leading the other into the dark corridors not knowing what was at the other end.  We rounded one corners to see mechanical zombies reaching for us.  They were a distraction so the one crawling out from under the truck could get us.  He almost did.  At the end, the creature with a chainsaw chased me out of the place with Sharon walking behind.  I just didn't want to be that one person who accidentally gets hurt by a real chainsaw that was only supposed to be a prop.








The next place we went to was called "The Asylum Haunted House".  The asylum was a recreation of an 1800's mental institution where the mentally disturbed were sent and never left.  They experimented on these unsuspecting souls with crazy experiments and electroshock therapy.  The lead doctor was about as crazy as his patients.  Sharon and I ended up going through this place with another couple.  The man lead the way with his wife and I sandwiched between him and Sharon who brought up the rear.  After being greeted by the weird man checking in guests, we walk through an endless closet of vintage clothes.  We were waiting for someone to grab us, but no one did.  On the other side of the closet a creepy little girl was hiding among the clothes.  We then began walking quickly through the many rooms with creepy patients who wanted us to stay.  We had to walk through the operation room where some strange experiments were being conducted.  At the end, a deranged patient chased us through many halls with a chainsaw until we finally found our way out.  Another creepy and fun place.  We had a good time and were definitely scared.

    That one provides a fun punch every Halloween. I just wish the houses were longer-bigger. Seems like we were out of there in minutes.

26 Bar Ranch (John Wayne Ranch)

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.

Historic Downtown Payson

Located in the northern part of Gila County is the town of Payson, Arizona.  Because of where it is located in the state, it has been christened “The Heart of Arizona”.   Payson was established in 1882 and was first identified as Green Valley.  Two years later in March, a post office was erected with the assistance of Lewis Edwin Payson.  The people showed their gratitude by changing the town’s name to Payson.  Also that same year, the first rodeo was held and deemed the “world’s oldest continuous”.   It is still held in Payson till this day.  In the 1950’s, after many complained about the trip from Phoenix to Payson taking eight to twelve hours, a new paved highway was constructed.  State Route 87 (or the Beeline Highway), made travel quicker and easier for those wanted to get away from the heat of the valley to the gorgeous, serine forests in Payson.

Cowboy Mummy Found in Desert

  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. Shortly afterwards, he was covered by the blowing sands, which appeared to have dried his body overnight. This apparently preserved his body resulting in the mummified form he was found in. 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 used
