Bodie is known for weak buildings, dry sagebrush, and whistling desert winds. Bodie is located to the east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The locality looks like wild western backdrop like in movies. But now the situation is completely different. Bodie filled with deserted wood buildings and spirits.
Bodie started as little mining
camp after the finding the gold in 1859 by W.S. Bodey. Bodey died in the
November and never got to see the rise (and fall) of the town that was named
after him. After the gold discovery at Bodie, miracle happened alongside the
discovery of silver in nearby Aurora and Comstock Lode. In 1879, Bodie had a
growing population of almost 10,000 people after Standard Company dug large
deposit of gold ore in 1876, and later it was isolated the mining camp.
Haunting Bodie
By World War II only six people
were left in the town, and five of them died unexpected and tragic deaths. One
of the male residents shot his wife, and after that three other men killed the
husband. According to reports, the spirit of the murdered man said to see the
three men, nodding his fist and trying to attack them. All three men died from
strange diseases. Another legend says, if visitors take souvenirs from the
town, even a pebble, they end up suffering from trouble and catastrophe until
the item returned. It's called the ‘Bodie
Curse.’
The J.S. Cain House is one of
Bodie’s most haunted locations. The maid spirit loves children but hates the
adults who accompany them. Adults in the home report feeling pushed or
strangled by this entity.
