The Haunted Little Church

-

A few weeks ago, my paranormal team, Arizona Paranormal Research, did a study and investigation of a small abandoned church. One of our team members was contacted by a church associate about the unusual events that they have experienced inside the church and nearby cemetery. We thought it was the perfect place for our team to investigate.

Because we plan to go back to research the place further, I won’t divulge its name and location. The church is located at the end of a narrow road with the cemetery next to it. We unloaded our equipment and proceeded to take pictures inside and outside of the church. While others set up their cameras and audio recorders in various locations throughout the church, Sharon and I walked over to the cemetery to take photos. By this time, it was getting dark and the cemetery was very creepy. We walked back to the church to begin our investigation.

Sharon walked around the place with dowsing rods and marked all the locations where they crossed. After they were done setting up, we stepped outside for a few minutes to give the church a chance to settle. We started out with all of us sitting in various locations in the pews to do an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) session. Someone would ask a question, wait a few minutes to hopefully get a response, and then another question would be asked. Noises and footsteps were heard and hopefully captured by our equipment. We sat there for about an hour before calling it quits.

After the group gathering, we did one-on-one shifts, 20 minutes at a time. Sharon went first. The others walked over to the cemetery while I waited outside checking things out on my phone. Unfortunately, every time I liked something on Facebook, it made a popping noise which Sharon heard from inside. My bad!! I went next. I introduced myself and proceeded to ask questions. At one point I thought I heard whispering and noises. I did say that my granddaughter played the piano and asked the spirit if they could play the organ for me. After that, I heard two loud noises coming for the area where the organ was. Hum, were they letting me know they were there? I don’t know. 

All and all, it was a fantastic investigation. We all experienced different things. So far, we did capture whispers, laughter, and other noises. The evidence will eventually be found on our website as soon as they are done reviewing everything. https://arizonaparanormalresearch.com/

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
