Ghosts of the Desert | Exploring Vulture City | Vulture Mine | Verde Flat Cemetery
In this episode, we visit Vulture City, the famous Arizona ghost town founded by Henry Wickenburg in 1863.
Vulture City is a well-preserved ghost town, with original buildings, carefully renovated to give visitors a window into Old West life in a lawless Arizona territory mining boom town.
Unlike other touristy ghost towns, Vulture City delivers one of the most authentic ghost town experiences imaginable. The many original buildings and artifacts really create a connection with the old frontier.
Vulture City is also famous for being a den of paranormal activity, even being featured on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures.
Despite being skeptics ourselves, we attempt to make contact with any lingering spirits in several spots known for ghostly activity.
Vulture City is a fun and insightful time for all ages. You will learn about the old west and life in a remote mining town.

TRUE MYSTERY FINDING THE LOST DUTCHMAN AT VULTURE MINE WICKENBURG MYTHS LEGENDS AND LIES J.SCHRECK
The Vulture mine began in 1863 when Henry Wickenburg, a prospector from California's gold rush, discovered a quartz outcropping containing gold. Shortly after the mine was established a small mining town was developed. It was called Vulture City. The town once had a population of several thousand citizens with such amenities as a brothel, mess hall, and post office.
The desert surrounding the Vulture Mine did not give much in the way of produce, so an enterprising individual by the name of Jack Swilling went into the Phoenix Valley and reopened the irrigation canals left by the native peoples. Agriculture was brought back to the valley, and a grain route was established. This grain route still exists today under the name of Grand Avenue. Phoenix, Arizona, grew up around the agricultural center spawned by the needs of the Vulture Mine.
In 1942, the Vulture Mine was shut down by a regulatory agency for processing gold. This was a violation at the time because all resources were to be focused on the war effort. The mine appealed the shut-down order and reopened, but with less vigor. A few years later, the mine closed for an extended period. The mine is in operation once again on a separate property but is not open to the public. PSYCHOTIC/ MYTHS LEGENDS AND LIES is a unsolved network searching for age old questions of the life we live. Along this journey to discover the truth, we encounter and discover a little bit more about who we are.

We are treasure hunters and the only thing that changes in our journey is the treasure itself . Knowledge also can be five times more valuable than gold .

And sometimes the truth is bigger than the myth . Sometimes we run into paranormal and sometimes the real story is horrifying. We search out secret societys , cults rituals and super natural . We track serial killers , goverment conspiracys mythical creatures on land and sea . We search , WE FIND .
