Episode 76: Tombstone Ghost Town
Jay walks us through one of the most famous locations of the Wild, Wild West: Tombstone.
1. Tombstone is a historic city in Arizona, founded in 1879 by prospector Ed Schieffelin. (Silver Mining!)
2. Its population grew from 100 to around 14,000 in less than seven years. (It’s best known as the site of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral!)
3. A woman in a long white dress has also been spied on Tombstone streets. (Seamstress!)
4. Big Nose Kate’s Saloon. (That’s what it’s really called. Oh, And it’s haunted.)
5. The Birdcage is reputed to be one of the most haunted places in Tombstone: allegedly continuing to host as many as 31 ghosts. (SNEAK PEEK: two prostitutes got into a brawl, and one got the upper hand by repeatedly stabbing the other in her chest with the sharp heel of her stiletto.)
