I See Dead People

One thing my current residence is known for is that it is the final resting place of one Doc Holliday, who got involved in a little incident called the Shootout at the OK Corral. He lived most of his life in Georgia and Arizona, but he came here in an attempt to clear up a nasty case of tuberculosis by partaking of the waters from our natural hot springs. The springs didn't work, and this became Doc Holliday's final resting place.

Every October, the historical society puts on a Ghost Walk in the cemetery where the area's first residents, including Doc Holliday, were buried. I don't remember who everyone is, but here are the pictures I took from it.

The lady who loved christmas trees so much, they planted one in her honor

The local Marshall, who later found salvation

Edgar, one of the first settlers of the valley. Of the many things he was involved in, he was also the witness of the first murder. Also, he used to farm the area where my apartment is built.

The lady who ran the first hotel with her husband.

The Scavenger, who was hired to move the first cemetery from the banks of the Colorado River to higher ground. It's said that the high limestone content of the water actually mummified the remains of most of the people The Scavenger transplanted.


Who knew ghosts could look so lifelike!
