Mina Nevada

We would have to stop in town to use the bathroom of course there is only once gas station and they are strict. If you do not make any purchases you do not get the bathroom key. I guess I was lucky because as a gift I found Tammy some cool sun glasses and a chopper pocket knife very cheaply priced. You know your loved when I buy you your own knife something I eventually do for team members as a gift.

I started my investigation off by driving around town or at least what is left of it. Mina is a very quiet place you hardly ever see anybody out then again there is probably about a hundred folks living there on both sides of the highway.

I did not do Mina for the paranormal I did it because its a ghost town with allot of historic value. Some of you may have heard of it although it boomed later then most towns it thrived off the railroad at one time. I drove around taking photos of all the towns historic structures there was a boarded up saloon I wanted to get in but then there is the whole thing of its like fort Knox right on the highway lol.

We did pay our tributes to the Mina Cemetery and I will say this I am very very pleased with its condition. It is not only well kept but every single gravemarker has a ribbon and flowers of some kind. The place is lit up with beautiful colors including a stone monument. I very rarely ever see a cemetery this well taken care of its a must visit plus we did get some EMF readings here.

Many of the markers were made of wood or were crosses. I seen a few small statues and a few marble headstones. I also seen older stones that were very white and slightly faded. Tammy may have found an older relative buried here before she was born strange how the world is smaller then we think. One of the markers had handprints embedded in some rock. It was a quaint place with trees and beautiful scenery 360 degrees.

Some of the burials of the men here were miners they had minerals placed around there stones. The Mina mine overlooks the cemetery off in the distance high up on this snow capped peak that overshadows the region. Most of these men buried here were miners hell some of them worked at the ore mills and even railroad. So much history just as we walked through the aisles of graves. As the wind blew the flag pole gave off a ghostly piano type of sound. I could hear music despite we debunked the sound we thought it was strange that it continued to maintain a tune like we were in a saloon.

We also seen the old Desert Lobster Cafe which has a big boat out front of it. The owners use to live in Sodaville prior to it becoming a ghost town. Around town foundations and other wooden dilapidated structures are scattered everywhere. One of them I went in had no windows, green flooring and a stove inside.

Jarrod and I went downtown to the historic district where a series of wood cabins and homes remained scattered along a few streets. They tell you to stay out and I can see why people have vandalized them. However I was there to preserve them since most of them were barely standing. One of the homes we went into had a few rooms it was dark inside but we walked around taking are readings.

There was another cabin with a small front porch while another one didn't have a roof. Nearby an old general store or perhaps boarding house stood. I walked around it till some guy took something and banged it really hard to try to scare me. The guy was walking around with his face hidden wearing a hoody staring at us trying to scare us away and we were not even on his property. I wonder why he has so many cars on his property or why he thinks he feels the need to try to scare me. I just spent money at the towns general store without people like me there would be absolutely no business in this town. But it would not the be the first time someone tried to chase me off Tammy did not like the vibes of the individual. Not trying to be cynical but should we knock and ask who is buried in the backyard? Really lol!

Many of the original homes have been integrated with other peoples houses even today. Just driving around town you can see classic cars and relics of the past. The entire town is like one giant museum and for the most part some people are very nice as someone waved to me. While others just do not want you there again that is just ignorant thinking considering towns like these are borderline ghost towns as it is.

Overall my experience of visiting the relics of the past throughout the town was a learning experience for my son. I think Mina is going to look great on our site it has an eerie feeling to it and nestled in the Nevada mountains. Our next destination however would be the grand finale of the day a ghost town where a famous shootout occurred. We would have the entire town to ourselves to do our work without having to worry about somebody trying to bang on metal to chase us away which was Sodaville Nevada.

Behind the structure to the right is a man who resides in a house who watches over this property. Just warning my fellow ghost town explorers that for your safety it may not be wise to walk behind the structures. When someone bangs a object to try to chase you away then walks up to the fence so you cannot see there face and stands there indeed their is are some issues going on with the individual. Not all residents in Mina will be openhearted to new visitors most will but some prefer to keep others out! I am armed to the max and very strong so I continued to do what need to be done regardless if your not and your poking around this place you may run into the individual.
