Slaughterhouse Canyon Road.

this was a cool stop. just in the middle of nowhere, as many of these things tend to be.

If you're among those who seek out hair raising experiences for the fun of it, then head to Kingman to the base of Luana's Canyon, more commonly referred to as Slaughterhouse Canyon.

There's a longstanding legend that surrounds this eerie canyon and, if the story behind it is true (which can't be proven), it's horrific, tragic and just plain sad. Legend has it that during the 1800s, a family lived down in the bottoms of Slaughterhouse Canyon. You can probably guess the first part of this tragic story: one time he left, and he never returned. Meanwhile, his wife and children were left alone in the canyon and they slowly began to starve.

As with any canyon, if you yell loud enough, the echo will eventually make its way right back to you — and as the family began to wither away, their screams of starvation would circulate all around the canyon. Eventually (as the legend goes... ) the mother couldn't bear to hear her children's painful screams — and so she murdered them and then took her own life. Visitors to Slaughterhouse Canyon have reported feeling the anguish that still permeates the air. And on evenings and nights when the air is still and thick, it's reported that you can hear the screams of the kids and of the mother as she made the tragic decision to end their suffering.

definitely eerie out there. there are houses just down the road. are they haunted? do they hear ghostly screams?

epic friendcation day 1 continued....adding Arizona & Nevada to my states list.

went to Travis Walton pay phone. Hole in Rock. Goldfield Ghost Town. (Ghost Adventures were here!) gas station with self checkout. that, my friends, is an idea whose time has come.

and now this brings us to Thursday. day. 2. The. Grand. Canyon. there are no words. it's like looking at a 3-D painting. and a major temp. drop. saw wild horses, elk, and deer. also some type of lizard. did Fred Flintstone pics. ate at In-N-Out Burger. cause we're on our way to Vegas, baby! Las Vegas, Nevada! we stayed at the Excalibur Hotel on THE 13TH FLOOR after we saw a BLACK CAT CROSSING THE ROAD coming out of parking garage. I couldn't get a bedtime Pepsi, couldn't get my card to work, and my cash was wrinkly.

Day 3. Friday. we bought drinks for their Yeti cooler (no mini fridge in room) and iced our drinks down. yeah, baby. morning and bedtime Pepsi for the debster now. we ate in hotel: Krispy Kreme. CinnaBon. a sportsbar for supper. took the tram (like a subway). went to the haunted Luxor Hotel. walked the strip. Coca Cola Store. Hersheys Store. M&M Store. the main agenda of the day was Zak Bagans Haunted Museum. it was everything I thought it'd be and more. watched some famous fountain do it's thing.

now it's Day 4. Saturday. today's Main Event was The Oddities and Curiousities Expo. it was crazy. taxidermied stillborn puppies for $800. mummified rat claws. bloodstones made from human blood. and they'd make them to order. cow skulls. human bones. fetal mice in tiny jars of embalming fluid. paintings of naked women. dead peoples things. I loved people watching. so many cool outfits. I was underdressed in my Serial Killers tee. the puppies really bothered me. but then Tracy found the tiny little mouse heads glued onto old fashioned studio portrait cards and I couldn't decide which one to throw $40 at. I also bought a bumper sticker; a poppet made from a mediums old shirt, her feelings and intentions, and herbs; a zip event hoodie; a charm; and a limited edition signed Stephen King print. (framed it first thing this morning and added to Stephen King collection.) there were cool witch dolls that I am going to try to imitate. just a little bit of everything. pic by the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.

I. was. here. The pay telephones where Travis Walton called for help after his UFO abduction.

The Travis Walton UFO incident was an alleged alien abduction of American forestry worker Travis Walton by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while he was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests near Snowflake, Arizona. Walton was missing for five days and six hours. After days of searching with scent dogs and helicopters, Walton says he reappeared by the side of a road near Heber, Arizona. The Walton case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known alien abduction stories, while scientific skeptics consider it a hoax. In 1978, Walton wrote a book about his purported abduction titled The Walton Experience, which was adapted into the 1993 film Fire in the Sky

my ghost hunting friend Tracy really is the hostes with the mostest. she planned so many fun (some haunted) and quirky things!

I'd never flown. after my ghost hunting friend Tracy moved to Arizona, she said she'd get me plane tickets for Xmas and I'd fly out there and we'd ghost hunt.

the time came, I drove to Des Moines airport. alone. took me 3 tries to get into the parking lot. I can't follow GPS directions. I just can't. Navigated through the airport. did the self check in kiosk although I had tickets downloaded to my phone, so I wouldn't hold up the line trying to find the tickets. bought a Pepsi from a vending machine right inside door, chugged half, and threw it away during security check. after all my worry about the 3-1-1 bag, they didn't even look at it. convinced myself after take off that I was on the wrong plane. (I knew when they scanned the ticket, they'd tell you if you were boarding the wrong plane, but I also knew that somehow, someway, their system wasn't working and I'd be stranded in Bozemen, Montana. ) Middle seat. inside the plane sounded like powerwashing by a constantly running B Barn heater. Whoosy and rumbly.had a free water and a free snack mix. (did this all 4 flights.) got off plane, found a Pepsi-which is harder than you think. All the airports were 99.0% Coke. you had to really look. paid between $2.50-$4.75 for a Pepsi. worth every bloody nickel. found 2nd gate. and I got a window seat! it was less scary looking out windows at the clouds. I'm a cloud watcher, and they're just as cool from up in the air. I found Rip Running, alligators, dragons, all kinds of stuff. the clouds looked like snow and the sky like water.

Tracy was waiting for me at Baggage Claim and away we went! ate lunch at Famous Daves. saw wild horses.. sagauro cactus.

#ghosthuntingwithdebandtracy damn straight we are R.I.P.s at Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum.

Dr. Kavorkians Death Van. The Dyybukk Box. The huge doll house from the Anton LaVey episode. fuckin' clowns. I screamed. crawled through a dark tunnel. got to go in the Gypsy Wagon from the Quarantine episode. doll room was much smaller than I'd envisioned. Gretchen looks like a kid in a glass box, I was sure I saw her eye move. Tracy saw her lip move. definite feeling of being watched everywhere you went. Bela Lugosis scrying mirror. I was probably too excited about the Robert Berdella room. the actual bed and other artifacts. The Demon House stairs and dirt from the basement. The bed and mirrors from Bunny Ranch. Ed Geins cauldren and shovel. Charlie Mansons dentures and cremains. one of Richard Ramerizs shirts. Ted Bundy's ski mask and tool kit. seeing the items from his TV specials. the cursed rocking chair. Zak videos on old tvs. Peggy the doll. "Hello, Peggy." "Goodbye, Peggy." the Zak shrunken head. there was a tour right on our ass. I wish we had more time to really really soak it all in. and of course no pictures except for entry way. and a Zak sighting woulda been amazing. or a Zak's mom sighting. or even a tour guide from one of the specials. but he was overseas somewhere. (China? don't remember) he does seem to be on Facebook hiring tour guides. are they getting spooked by the haunted objects? does he not pay enough? I mean, what. a. job. got a couple of positive comments on my Zak lockdown shirt. it was an amazing experience.

Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, AZ #ghosthuntingwithtracyanddeb

Apache Junction is the eighth episode of Season 10 of Ghost Adventures. Ghost Adventures Crew spend the night in the ghost town of Apache Junction, AZ. Zak Bagans tests new gas-detecting equipment in the mines, and Jay Wasley is utterly startled when he sees a man in a trench coat roaming through the town smoking a cigarette. Jay immediately thinks it's one of the guys, but then he saw the figure smoking a cigarette. He is puzzled because none of the guys smoke. Did Jay see the apparition of the unknown prospector?

Evidence

Preliminary Investigation: Moving object: While doing an interview inside of the brothel, the guys hear a noise and discover a safety pin lying on the floor. They suspect the pin may have made the noise and was possibly thrown by an unseen force. If it fell off of Bethany then it would have been open.

Investigation: 1. Visual Sighting: While at nerve center, Jay spots a figure with a trench coat walking around town thinking that it was one of the guys. 2. Apparition: The thermal imaging camera captures a distinct apparition of a figure wearing a trench coat walking on the balcony into the brothel. 3. Noises: Unexplained loud footsteps 3x, Noises 2x 4. Disembodied Voices: Growling 5. Physical Contact/Unexplained Odor: Zak feels strong static electricity and also notices a very foul odor 6. Spirit Box Voices: "I'm Vic", "yeah", "make it go", "i was hurt", "yes" 7. Physical Contact: The REM Pod intelligently responds to all of Zak's questions. 8. Equipment Malfunction: The camera that is shooting the grave suddenly shuts off as the guys attempt to communicate with the spirit. --deb went Sept. 14 2022 with Chris & Tracy Main.--
