This is part two of our Goodsprings Ghosttown and mines expedition as we return a second week to explore its rich history and strangeness in a place they call gods land. When I pick a place I really pick it will. We have had a two month run of serious X-Files investigation after investigation. I do not think we have had a run like this in a couple years based on my extreme locations we have visited.
 
I had a nice finish to a bad week....I have two weeks to move out...my previous investigator quit not sure if it was the ordeal last weekend and my place fell through out in CA. So more then likely last night was our last investigation in the Southern NV area for now although this next coming weekend I am technically free if we decide to put together another investigation perhaps to another ghost town I have in mind with about 70 structures so we shall see.. So that will be up to Rich and Brenna as well. If they want one more weekend of adventure.
 
I want to thank Rich for all his help honestly if it were not for Craigslist classifieds I wouldn't have found him and he turned out to be one hell of an investigator. You do not always find a mesh of people that work well together in the night hiking down mountains and crawling in dark holes in the middle of the night.
 
I put our team together in just a matter of a day I needed someone who could hike....have a good sense of humor....and keep an openmind. I did enjoy having Karrie as an investigator but the problem is she did not want to hike around to places and so it worked out really well that she quit. It allowed me to find others more assertive for this.
 
Rich has an interesting background and some paranormal experiences of his own. He has flown planes and was in the military its great to have someone with outdoor knowledge like him. He will I am sure do his own little write up on the area just as Brenna. Rich came by picked me up we took the long ways around Vegas got into talking about some experiences and things. It went really well like I said you do not find to many real people who mesh together well.
 
I met Brenna earlier this week on myspace we had a great time together and she was interested in the work that I do so Rich and I met her up at her work and we went straight out to the Goodsprings area.
 
The sky was dismal the clouds were not allowing much sun so I knew it would be darker once we arrived. I was banking on a much better experience then the first weekend out here. The one thing I will miss about the Vegas area is locations like these. There is nowhere on earth like these places and often their not very well visited thus the paranormal is so much higher.
 
The investigation is divided into various areas which the unknown mines or at least mines I cannot identify known has the Goodsprings Mining District, Alice Mine, Copper Mine, Goodsprings, Yellow Pine Mill & Mine and Lastly Goodsprings Cemetery.
 
I had wanted to bring you guys an investigation like the old days which involved allot of locations, hiking and paranormal. I honestly got more then I bargained for the night turned beyond paranormal. Its one thing to discuss it but its another to face it and this investigation we would face everything almost that could be thrown at us.
 
It would be an interesting night and we would visit many many areas with quit a few adventurous moments. We entered Goodsprings I gave everybody a brief tour of the town Brenna thought it was cool too just different from the Vegas life. I love small towns just remember I spent 4 years in Florida investigating them so I KNOW:)
 
We entered the dirt road the area is very scenic their is no gas stations or houses. It is what it is dirt roads. Some of them lead to other mines we would focus on a canyon that borders the great Shenadoah Mountain.  Rich and I got into talking we overshot our turn off and took the 4th dirt road to the left not the second one. I knew if we headed towards the pass we could hit the mines either way.
 
Well this road felt different not as clear as the second turn off and we hit the rocks so Rich stopped and we decided its just better to use our legs and hike. It would not be an easy one even for me being slightly sick and congested. But I wanted to make sure we got done what we set out to do.
 
The hike began up a dirt road eventually over a mountain near a mine I never seen last week ago but caged off and into a raven of an old creek bed. The creek bed took us awhile to get down into. We had really over shot our turn off and had to back track over the hills. Rich and I noticed some animal feces which was huge but not of a horse were thinking about how nice it would be NOT to run into whatever produces it lol.
 
The hike was nice a good couple miles in an area that had many types of flowers growing. There was scattered debris....I was enjoying the hike at this point. I knew we would eventually hike on into the Mining District and then it would be mine after mine. They actually call this deep ravine horseshoe gulch pretty interesting just to hike in alone.
 
We were miles from town hiking over mountains at some points we had to slide down some steep areas or rather ski with our shoes. I was getting excited I knew we were getting closer to the first mine. You cant ask for better people to have with you on something like this. Its not about how many are with you its about who you have to share this with. Rich was a big help with the hike and basically we did a mild observance of the area. I did not notice anything to out of the ordinary however the clouds made the sky much more dismal during the hike.
 
We were running a bit late so nightfall was honestly setting in to quick you have to understand that this place they call Gods Land for a reason. Its all scenic and although we would not be able to hit every mine in the region I wanted to bring you guys a story with quite a few mix of mines finishing off the night in a spooky ghost town.
 
We had been walking quite a good amount of time its actually the safest way considering these roads can get you stuck if your not careful. When we made our way into the canyon we seen our first mine. This would be the start of the Goodsprings Mining District.
 
Goodsprings Mining District
 
The first mine we entered could have been part of the Priarie Flower Mine its hard to say but on the side of a mountain was a tiny lump of debris. When we climbed up there was a tunnel going on in. I felt this place was pretty spooky I know for a fact it had a presence here.
 
I could feel it just watching us as we went in. The ceilings were low and we went over the gravel down into a lower tunnel which took us to a dead end just 40 to 50 feet later. I noticed a few things which were allot of mice feces all over....a mouse nest with a hole.....and the walls were so full of moisture they were almost falling apart.
 
We actually studies the quartz and crystallization for awhile. I did notice briefly a cold spot it really didn't phase me much. Little did I know the night would become more intense by the hour.
 
We were already getting dirty it was getting dark and we wanted to follow the entire canyon to the right. Each time we seen debris it would usually mean a mine. Although sometimes it would mean a mine would be blasted shut.
 
We climbed up to our right a steep mountain because we seen a fence with a hole. When we approached it I started to realize that it was a deep shaft. You would need gear and a team to get down into here. The pit was just black like a trip to hell.
 
Nearby was another mine and it was steep when I went down in it a mouse ran all the way down rock to rock. I did not feel much in that mine I had hoped that it led into the other shaft nearby but it was a no go. More then likely this was just another start to the Priarie flower mine. I was not to thrilled knowing there were rats and mice running all over. It was evident at this point that we would be running into these things near or in each mine regardless.
 
The team was doing very well they were crawling right on into the mines and that is a good sign. Over the years I had many investigators who would be like yo Ill wait outside lol. So anyway's we encountered are first rodent not to big then hikes down into a dry run and back up the mountain along large rock formations.
 
I figured along the rock formation we would find maybe a cave or more mines on top. I mean it was dark so we thought we seen on top of the mountain more debris. The climb was hard I wont lie it was challenging me for awhile considering I was sick and congested my chest was killing me. But I kept going up at times we sat took breaks.
 
When we reached a few hundred feet on up two vehicles pulled into the canyon a truck following a car. We wanted them from very far away as they slowly made it down the narrow canyon road. The same road we were stuck on last week ago and Karrie seeing that being giving off light on the opposite ridge.
 
I was not happy with folks coming in and we had to shut our lights down. I noticed a couple guys get out look around. I could not believe they were taking a car this far on in. It looked like to me they were heading to one of the bigger mines in the area. We sat and watched you never know what sort of people can come out here.
 
After awhile we made our way almost to the top of this giant mountain. I did not take my team with me the climb was getting pretty rough and I just wanted to make sure there was a mine on top or it would be a wasted climb.
 
I climbed some rocks stood right on a plateau what an amazing view. I could see everything even though it was dark out. I found allot of neat rock formations...seen some old wire fencing but no mines up on top so we wasted almost an hour climbing for our health.
 
I remember Rich saying he is doing what his doctor told him not to do so I know he was going to be hurting just like me. Why we do this? Because we love the outdoors....and the unknown. I was excited to take Brenna hiking its so hard to find a girl who can hike. She did better then any woman so far I had in Vegas.
 
When I came down we stayed near the rocks.....the moon was trying to get through as well. I could not believe what Rich pointed out and Brenna. But there was a mass of ectoplasm moving across the other side near the two mines we just checked out which includes the one with the pit to hell. This thing was moving fast and it was skipping around.  It was visible as it just moved all around. This would be our first actual sighting of something weird.
 
Personally myself it could have been ectoplasm but there was something only a few hundred yards away and it was moving. To our right deep down in the canyon were the cars making their way and setting up a camp fire up in front of one of the mines.
 
We had to remain covert Brenna noticed something later near the same mountain that Karrie last week noticed. A creature with a glow I honestly cannot understand it either. But there is something up in this canyon that looks like a humanoid and it gives off some natural energy. I still think its something alien like in the area not an animal or anything.
 
I did not put to much thought in it but across the deep canyon on the other side was a glow I seen it but I also seen balls of light throughout the night not orbs. But something much more advanced within. Anyhow we made our way slightly down the canyon. Then we laid low and took a food/drink break. We found almost a natural cave in the rocks it would have been nice to actually see something with more depth then what we had been finding.
 
We would make our way over around the mountain and ended up going into another canyon. This area would be the Yellow Pine Mine which was at one time extremely large. I noticed perhaps we didn't climb around to good but the entrance was collapsed. You could see wood scattered all over because this mine had a railroad that ran from it.
 
We were now in a canyon with a dead end road so we had to make our way down and across the road because Brenna spotted another mine. Most of the mines we kept finding were not worth going in like the one we found had some pieces of debris around and this giant rat stood up on a rock stared right at me. It was not a pleasant site. The amount of rat feces we came across was high in some of these mines. Most of the rats drag these cactuses in them and they bury them in the walls from what an old buddy I met up with months ago. But some of them are pretty large for living in no mans land lol.
 
Most of the mines had barbed wire around them but I could not understand why they would put it up in front of a tunnel that only goes a few feet back. I was getting a little worried because all the mines were little and I wanted something big like previous ones we had done before.
 
I was still upset about the Yellow Pine Mine its ashamed it was closed off I heard that one is huge. But it wont be the last mine their is so many on the west coast worth exploring. I never thought years ago when I started PGS I would be down in mines looking for the strange but I am. Its another world when your inside the earth but at the same time its an experience you never forget.
 
When we were near the Yellow Pine Mine below on one of the roads within the canyon Rich seen a huge dark shadow run down the road. This would be the start to many shadows during the night. The supernatural was all around us watching...waiting...curious...the gibbous moon was shining throughout the dismal clouds.  At times we did not even need a flashlight. But then again when I looked up on a hill above the collapsed entrance we seen a tree that looked like a ghost and we would flick on the light with relief lol. So it did help to have our lights on at times.
 
Things were heating up for example I seen a rat he was a big boy up on a rock staring at me on two legs and they are smart creatures. So he was checking me on out. Its strange but I have dealt with it all bats, rats, alligators, bear, mice, bigfoot and god knows what else lol. The rats though are worst then any of them in there heads they think you are a big piece of food let me bite you give you rabies so I basically let the rodents clear the mines before we just rushed on in.
 
From certain points we could see the glow of the campfire in the distance and the guys were getting really rowdy. Personally when you have a group of men in the middle of nowhere you stay away to be on the safe side in case they have guns. Everybody asked me what to do and my plan was simple. Will work our way around the canyon and then will slowly approach the guys. I was not turning away on this investigation no matter the cost we worked to hard to get up here and climb.
 
When we came around the ridge we stood on a plateau just below us was the guys camping. We took about a half hour of a break because everything at the same time was hitting the fan. Rich spotted something walking on all fours that looked human off on the road. This same entity would haunt him for the entire night. Brenna was seeing strange lights too. We also seen something across the canyon road on the other side that looked like a shadow standing there pacing back and forth. At some points I would say those dark shadows were trees swaying in the wind. But other times it looked more like figures trying to remain elusive. I took some time throwing stones to try to get responses from the dark shadows.
 
I never said nothing about the luminescent being we spotted last week and sure enough Brenna seen on the other mountain something giving off a glow. This creature has to be some sort of alien maybe an angel of some kind I really do not know. Then Rich spotted some red eyes up on the other hill opposite of this.
 
Pretty much at this point the shit was hitting the fan= . To our right we heard a female screaming to death it was the scariest thing you could ever hear. It sounded like she was fighting for her life and they were a couple screams just a few hundred feet away. It did NOT come from the guys. I assumed that maybe these guys had a female down there they were playing with or hurting. Its all I could think of at the time and everybody asked me what to do. We gathered the gear quickly and at this point I was going to turn our investigation into a rescue mission.
 
We had two choices approach the guys right into there camp scaring them with rocks sliding as we came down off the mountain or go back....come down the road shining our lights so they didn't start shooting or whatever. The guys knew someone was in the canyon a few times they shouted out want to join our orgy.....shining there lights up at the mountains as we carefully hide behind rocks and brush. We were very covert didn't use much light the entire night we actually used the moon more.
 
We made our way down the road eventually take it on in and up the giant gravel mound....which would lead us right to the guys camp. I kept it brief walked right past there blanket.....campfire and was like what's up lol. I had only a few seconds to assess the situation. I would not stay to talk just walk past long enough to analyze the situation. It appeared to be that it was just 4 guys....one with a car one with a truck. They looked younger like college guys. They looked scared and I think they heard the scream to. I mean granted they were screwing around the whole night after the screams they were very quieted down always scoping out the tops of the mountains with there flash lights. I should have asked them about what they heard and to let them know its not us considering they were camping for the night.
 
There were no females unless they had someone tied up in the back of there car. But I know when people are scared these guys looked scared not just of us but they had to be hearing some of what we were out in this canyon.
 
The mine they camped in front of was called the Alice Mine one of the more bigger ones still open in the area to explore. The sing in front says danger do not enter. Above the mine is a place called Rattlesnake Hill/Peak. I thought about climbing above as I am sure there are other entrances to such a big operation like this.

Are the faces enlarged and found within the rocks just illusions or are they are manifestations of the unknown?

Just arriving back at the car after being chased out of the mine district by something of unknown origin.

A strange mist lurks at the bottom of a hidden mine up in the canyon.
