- 1:26Speaker 1: and hope everyone's enjoying it. It's about that those dog
- 1:36Speaker 1: days of summer, right before every thing starts to cool
- 1:39Speaker 1: off and fall. But and it's also the spooky season,
- 1:46Speaker 1: so very exciting. And today I'm going to talk about
- 1:56Speaker 1: something that I did our first season, and I've talked
- 2:04Speaker 1: about the in Holebrook talk about the old Bucket of
- 2:13Speaker 1: Bud Saloon, and I thought I would give you more
- 2:21Speaker 1: explanation and why the name it changed from its previous
- 2:27Speaker 1: and what the name was a previous and the reason
- 2:32Speaker 1: why so. And also I found a couple other ghost
- 2:37Speaker 1: stories that's related to it. So let's start today, all right,
- 2:47Speaker 1: Let's sit on the couch, snuggle up with the loved ones,
- 2:54Speaker 1: bag of popcorn or bowet popcorn next to you. Let's
- 3:00Speaker 1: turn on lights because it's lights out. First story, We're
- 3:11Speaker 1: going to talk about the horse Head Saloon that the
- 3:17Speaker 1: men who never left. Most people in the Bone evaded
- 3:42Speaker 1: the salute water dark. They said the building had been
- 3:49Speaker 1: standing there for more than a century. They said its
- 3:55Speaker 1: wooden floors had to absorbed the blood. The whiskey his secrets.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The generations of miners, drifters, gamblers, and outlaws. But there's
- 4:15Speaker 1: one story that people whispered more quietly than others. Call
- 4:23Speaker 1: it the man in the Black Cat. According to legend,
- 4:30Speaker 1: someone and sometime in late eighteen hundreds, a stranger rode
- 4:41Speaker 1: into town just before a terrible winter storm came. He
- 4:48Speaker 1: walked into the horse had saloon wearing a long black
- 4:53Speaker 1: coat and a black cat pulled over his face. Nobody
- 4:59Speaker 1: knew his name. He sat alone at the far end
- 5:04Speaker 1: of the bar. The bartender poured on a whiskey. The
- 5:10Speaker 1: stranger never touched it. Instead, he stared into the mirror
- 5:18Speaker 1: behind the bottles. Then he quickly said, is my horse
- 5:25Speaker 1: still outside? Bartender looked through the window. There was no horse,
- 5:33Speaker 1: only darkness. When he turned back around, the stranger was gone.
- 5:44Speaker 1: The whiskey glass remained on the counter, and inside the
- 5:49Speaker 1: glass was a single drop of blood. That night, a
- 5:56Speaker 1: terrible storm buried the town. The next morning, they found
- 6:03Speaker 1: a dead horse behind the saloon. The saddle was still on,
- 6:10Speaker 1: but there was no footprints leaning towards it, and no
- 6:15Speaker 1: rider was ever found. Years passed, the story became nothing
- 6:23Speaker 1: more than an old legend until people began hearing footsteps,
- 6:30Speaker 1: usually round two o'clock in the morning. Slow footsteps, step, step, step,
- 6:45Speaker 1: they would begin. It would begin upstairs, then treble the
- 6:52Speaker 1: wooden staircase, and stopped directly behind whoever happened to be
- 6:59Speaker 1: standing at the bar. Some claimed they would could feel
- 7:05Speaker 1: someone breathing against the back of their neck. Others heard
- 7:10Speaker 1: a man's voice whisper, where's my horse. The strangest part
- 7:21Speaker 1: was the mirror. People sitting at the bar sometimes reported
- 7:26Speaker 1: seeing a man standing behind them, a tall man, black hat,
- 7:34Speaker 1: black coat, tell face, but whenever they turn around, nobody
- 7:42Speaker 1: was there. One night, a young bar tender named Daniel
- 7:49Speaker 1: decided he didn't he wasn't afraid of the ghost stories.
- 7:53Speaker 1: He laughed when the old timers warned them not to
- 7:57Speaker 1: stay after closing. I'll prove them there there is nothing here,
- 8:03Speaker 1: he says. At midnight, he locked the doors. At one,
- 8:10Speaker 1: nothing happened. One thirty, nothing happened. Then when the clock
- 8:18Speaker 1: struck two long, Daniel heard footsteps upstairs. He froze step step.
- 8:37Speaker 1: He grabbed the flashlight and slowly climbed up the stairs.
- 8:41Speaker 1: The hallway was empty. Then he turned. Then then he
- 8:46Speaker 1: came to a sound from behind him. A horse not
- 8:54Speaker 1: outside inside the building, don't Daniels spun around nothing, then
- 9:04Speaker 1: another sound. Doump. Something heavy was walking towards them, walking
- 9:12Speaker 1: cross across the floorboards. He followed the sounds back downstairs.
- 9:20Speaker 1: The saloon was completely dark. Then he knows something on
- 9:25Speaker 1: the floor, wet footsteps, horse tracks, and then they began
- 9:33Speaker 1: at the front door. They crossed the saloon and stopped
- 9:39Speaker 1: directly in front of the mirror. Daniels slowly raised his flashlight.
- 9:46Speaker 1: The mirror reflected the room, the empty tables, the bottles,
- 9:52Speaker 1: the bar, and Daniel, but there was some standing behind him,
- 10:00Speaker 1: man wearing a black hat. Daniel didn't move. The figure
- 10:06Speaker 1: slowly lifted his head. His face was gray and lifeless.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Then he whispered, you see my horse. Daniel turned around nothing.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Then he looked back in the mirror. The man was gone,
- 10:30Speaker 1: but the reflection of Daniel was no longer alone. A
- 10:35Speaker 1: dark figure stood behind him, and this time he was smiling.
- 10:43Speaker 1: The front door suddenly slammed open. If a freezing wind
- 10:51Speaker 1: tore through the saloon, the lights went out, Daniel heard
- 10:57Speaker 1: the sound of a horse screaming somewhere in the darkness.
- 11:02Speaker 1: The man's voice whispered, directing his ear. Still waiting. Next morning,
- 11:13Speaker 1: Daniel was gone. The police found his flashlight on the floor,
- 11:18Speaker 1: They found his boots beside the bar, and they found
- 11:24Speaker 1: a single black cat sitting on the counter. Daniel was
- 11:31Speaker 1: never seen again. To this day, people who visit the
- 11:36Speaker 1: Horsehead Saloon still still tell stories about strange footsteps on
- 11:45Speaker 1: explained voices, and a dark figure appearing in an old mirror,
- 11:52Speaker 1: and someone. If you'd stay inside after midnight, you might
- 11:59Speaker 1: hear a horse walking somewhere beneath the floorboards, step step.
- 12:11Speaker 1: If you're unlucky enough to hear someone whisper your name,
- 12:16Speaker 1: don't turn around, because, accordant to legend, if the horse
- 12:22Speaker 1: Heads saloom, the man in the black hat isn't looking
- 12:27Speaker 1: for his horse anymore. He's looking for someone to ride
- 12:32Speaker 1: with him. That's a pretty good story. Now let's go
- 12:41Speaker 1: to where made the story. Here our future presentation, And
- 12:55Speaker 1: if you ever come, come come across, and you travel
- 13:02Speaker 1: through Holebrook, And if you happen to go down south
- 13:11Speaker 1: and hit an old sign, the the sloon's right there,
- 13:21Speaker 1: and it's called the Bucket of Blood Saloon, where the
- 13:27Speaker 1: floor is remembered. There are places where history feels like history,
- 13:40Speaker 1: old photographs, whether it be buildings, names carved into stone.
- 13:48Speaker 1: And where are places where history feels like something else,
- 13:55Speaker 1: something that never really left to night. We're traveling deep
- 14:05Speaker 1: into the Arizona Desert to a little town called Holbrook,
- 14:11Speaker 1: a town that in the late eighteenth century had earned
- 14:16Speaker 1: a reputation for violence, and so notorious that the streets
- 14:23Speaker 1: themselves seemed to carry warnings. And there in the middle
- 14:31Speaker 1: of that rough frontier town stands a saloon originally called
- 14:39Speaker 1: Terrell's Cottridge Saloon. It was built in eighteen eighty eight
- 14:46Speaker 1: by Byron Terrell, during the period when Holbrook was just
- 14:52Speaker 1: becoming a booming cattle and railroad town. But eventually no
- 15:00Speaker 1: one would remember it simply. Nobody would remember it simply
- 15:06Speaker 1: as the cottage. They would remember it by a name
- 15:11Speaker 1: that sounds less like a business and more like a threat,
- 15:18Speaker 1: the Bucket of Blood. And according to local history, the
- 15:25Speaker 1: name came after a violent station, violent Comfort Comfort confrontation
- 15:34Speaker 1: in which two men were killed and so much blood
- 15:39Speaker 1: covered the floor that the people compared it to an
- 15:44Speaker 1: entire bucket of blood. Exact year in circumstances, very among
- 15:52Speaker 1: very amongst historical accounts. Some sources placed thee if It
- 15:59Speaker 1: Must incident in eighteen eighty six, while the National Park
- 16:06Speaker 1: Service historic documentation dates the saloon's informal nickname to a
- 16:14Speaker 1: eighteen ninety one double murder. But regardless to which version
- 16:21Speaker 1: you believe, the story has survived. And perhaps that's because
- 16:29Speaker 1: Hobrook isn't simply a town where violence occasionally happened, is
- 16:37Speaker 1: a place where violence had became part of everyday life.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Imagine Hobrook in the eighteen hundred eighteen eighties. No neon signs,
- 16:56Speaker 1: no paid highways, see services weighing around the corner. Instead,
- 17:05Speaker 1: there were horses, tight outside buildings, dirty streets, railroad tracks,
- 17:14Speaker 1: cattlemen coming into town, gamblers looking for easy money, and
- 17:22Speaker 1: men carrying loaded revolvers. The Aztec Glenn and Cattle Company
- 17:30Speaker 1: had established itself in the area in eighteen eighty four,
- 17:35Speaker 1: and its cowboys became known as the Hatch Snipe Outfit.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Historical Council described the hoebrook as rough cattletown, where gunplay
- 17:48Speaker 1: and violence were not uncommon. After spending days a weeks
- 17:56Speaker 1: on the range, cowboys coming to town looking for whiskey, gambling, women, food,
- 18:07Speaker 1: and of course trouble, and sometimes they found all fired
- 18:14Speaker 1: at the same building, the saloon. Inside everything smelled of whiskey,
- 18:24Speaker 1: sweat to back go, smoke and gun oil. Cards slapped
- 18:31Speaker 1: against wooden tables, coins rattled, men laughed too loudly. Arguments
- 18:41Speaker 1: began over almost nothing, a drink, a woman, a horse,
- 18:50Speaker 1: a dead a playing card, or just a look. And
- 18:57Speaker 1: someone knew that that somewhere beneath the laughter was the
- 19:03Speaker 1: possible or possibility of a gunshot. One moment people could
- 19:12Speaker 1: be drinking together, the next someone could be dying on
- 19:17Speaker 1: the floor, and the Book of the Blood would become
- 19:21Speaker 1: one of the places where that possibility came a reality.
- 19:32Speaker 1: The stories surrounding the saloon's infamous name aren't completely consistent.
- 19:41Speaker 1: It's part of what makes the legend so unsettling. The
- 19:47Speaker 1: historical account deserved by the Nevo County Library tells the
- 19:53Speaker 1: cowboys of one cowboy, Joe Crawford, and the gambler George Bell,
- 20:04Speaker 1: who had been at the cottage playing cards with Roman
- 20:08Speaker 1: Lopez and another man. A disagreement erupted, Lopez struck Crawford
- 20:16Speaker 1: over the head with the gun. Crawford drew his revolver,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and suddenly the card game became a massacre. When the
- 20:27Speaker 1: shooting stopped, two men lay dead and the floor was
- 20:34Speaker 1: stained with so much blood that the surviving cowboys said
- 20:40Speaker 1: it looked like as though someone had spilt an entire
- 20:45Speaker 1: bucket of it. Imagine being the first person to walk
- 20:52Speaker 1: into the room. Afterward, the cards still scattered across the table,
- 21:00Speaker 1: a knocked over a whiskey glass rolled slowly across the floor,
- 21:08Speaker 1: smoke hanging in the air, and two bodies lying there
- 21:14Speaker 1: moments before and then where moments before they had their conversation.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Nobody knew what to say, nobody knew where to look,
- 21:32Speaker 1: but someone knew that they had to what they just witnessed.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The cottage saloon had changed, and eventually so did its name. Today,
- 21:50Speaker 1: there is still a street of Holbrook called the Bucket
- 21:54Speaker 1: of Blood Street. The City of Holbrook describes the area
- 22:00Speaker 1: part of the town's historic downtown and connects the infamous
- 22:04Speaker 1: nae to the violent history surrounding the Terrell's Cottage saloon.
- 22:11Speaker 1: But imagine walking that street at night. The desert winds
- 22:19Speaker 1: rose through the darkness, the old buildings sitting silently. The
- 22:26Speaker 1: railroad tracks were near by, and somewhere beneath the modern
- 22:33Speaker 1: world is a memory of another Hope Brook, a hope
- 22:37Speaker 1: Brook where a man could walk into swoon alive and
- 22:44Speaker 1: never walk back out. People sometimes imagine the Old West
- 22:51Speaker 1: was romantic cowboys riding beneath the infamous sunsets, six shooters,
- 23:00Speaker 1: dusty trails. Frontier was freedom, but for the real Frontier
- 23:08Speaker 1: it could be bruly unforgiving. The National Parks Service historical
- 23:15Speaker 1: documentation knows that Arizona saloons is the period where important
- 23:21Speaker 1: social centers but could also become the places the most
- 23:28Speaker 1: violence and when alcohol tempers collide and the Bucket of
- 23:36Speaker 1: Blood was remembered as one of the roughest. Now this
- 23:44Speaker 1: is where the history gives way to legend. There is
- 23:48Speaker 1: no reliable evidence proving that the ghost haunt the old saloon,
- 23:57Speaker 1: but places of violent histories have a strange way of
- 24:03Speaker 1: accepting stories. People hear footsteps, they hear voices, they feel watched.
- 24:13Speaker 1: They walk into an empty room and suddenly that and
- 24:20Speaker 1: suddenly feel that they weren't alone. And when the name
- 24:25Speaker 1: of the building is Bucket of Blood, the imagination doesn't
- 24:31Speaker 1: need much help. So imagine, just for a moment, that
- 24:36Speaker 1: you are standing inside and no buildings after midnight. Town
- 24:42Speaker 1: is silent, the lights are out, there's nobody inside. You
- 24:48Speaker 1: take one step, you stop, another step, then another sound,
- 25:00Speaker 1: not behind you, not beside you, above you, slow deliberate, one, two, three,
- 25:16Speaker 1: You tell yourself that it's a building, is settling, old wood,
- 25:22Speaker 1: old walls, nothing more than you hear something else, the
- 25:28Speaker 1: chair scraping across the floor. You freeze before you are
- 25:36Speaker 1: not alone anymore, at last, at least that's what makes
- 25:42Speaker 1: me makes you feel like Imagine seeing a table in
- 25:50Speaker 1: the darkness, four chairs, three empty, one occupied. One man
- 25:59Speaker 1: sis there with his back towards that turned towards you.
- 26:04Speaker 1: He's wearing an old fashioned hat, his shoulders were perfectly still.
- 26:12Speaker 1: You say hello, and then doesn't answer. You step closer.
- 26:21Speaker 1: The cards are on the table, are arranged in a
- 26:24Speaker 1: polker's hand. You look down, and then the man solely
- 26:30Speaker 1: raises one hand. His finger points towards the chair upside
- 26:36Speaker 1: opposite him, an invitation sit You don't instead you step backwards,
- 26:48Speaker 1: and then finally speaks, his voice barely more in a whisper.
- 26:54Speaker 1: His finger points towards the chair upside him. Sit down.
- 27:03Speaker 1: He turned and run because he suddenly understands something. The
- 27:12Speaker 1: man isn't ask you to play. He's waiting for someone,
- 27:18Speaker 1: some who never came back, someone who died before the
- 27:24Speaker 1: game was finished. The Bucket of Bud's reputation did not
- 27:31Speaker 1: end in the instant that gave its infinitous name. Another
- 27:36Speaker 1: violent episode occurred in eighteen ninety six. Historical count describes
- 27:45Speaker 1: the dispute involved in playing cards at the saloon. The
- 27:50Speaker 1: saloon manager, Harry Donnelly, later shot George C. Hyatt outside
- 28:01Speaker 1: the establishment calmly was arrested by a deputy sheriff. Holford.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Story is a reminder that the legend of the Bucket
- 28:13Speaker 1: of Blood wasn't built round one fighting night. It grew
- 28:19Speaker 1: into a pattern arguments, guns, death, again and again and again.
- 28:34Speaker 1: And that what makes the place so disturbing, Because if
- 28:38Speaker 1: ghosts really do remain where this tragedy occurred, what happens
- 28:45Speaker 1: when tragedy happens over and over and over again. Does
- 28:52Speaker 1: one spirit remain or does the building become crowded with memories.
- 29:03Speaker 1: That's imagined as two thirteen in the morning, the town's asleep,
- 29:11Speaker 1: the desert's cold. The train passionate passes. Someone in the distance.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Then the sound from inside the old saloon, a glass breaking, silence,
- 29:30Speaker 1: then another, and suddenly voices muffled, angry, several men arguing.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Don't understand the words, but you could hear the anger.
- 29:51Speaker 1: And someone screams. A gunshot crashed through the night, bangs,
- 30:00Speaker 1: something stops or everything stops. Silence, You wait, nothing, then
- 30:12Speaker 1: another gun shot. Then you look towards the building. You
- 30:18Speaker 1: see a shadow standing beside one of the windows, a
- 30:24Speaker 1: man still watching. You blink, He's gone. You step closer.
- 30:34Speaker 1: The window is empty. But then and a hand appears
- 30:40Speaker 1: on the other side of the glass. Five fingers pressing
- 30:46Speaker 1: against the window, and a brad and beneath the hand,
- 30:53Speaker 1: a dark stain begins to spread across the glass. He
- 31:00Speaker 1: stumbled backward because you know what it looks like blood
- 31:10Speaker 1: years past, the Old West disappeared, the cowboys vanished, the
- 31:18Speaker 1: gunslingers disappeared, saloons changed, and eventually the bucket of blood
- 31:26Speaker 1: stops upring as a saloon. Historical records note that The
- 31:33Speaker 1: building became largely vacant after prohibition and later used for
- 31:40Speaker 1: storage of the purposes, but the building survived. It's the
- 31:48Speaker 1: strange thing about old places. People die, businesses disappear, generations
- 31:56Speaker 1: come and go, but the walls remain, and walls remember nothing,
- 32:05Speaker 1: or so we tell ourselves. Now, imagine a final story.
- 32:14Speaker 1: I document an event, a ghost story, the kind whispered
- 32:21Speaker 1: by someone. The squares they heard it from. Someone was there.
- 32:28Speaker 1: A traveler arrives in homework late at night. He has
- 32:33Speaker 1: been driving for hours. He sees an old street, the
- 32:41Speaker 1: old buildings, and then moses his sign bucket of Blood Street.
- 32:49Speaker 1: He laughs, that's one held a name. Then he notices
- 32:55Speaker 1: something strange, an old saloon door standing open. He knows
- 33:03Speaker 1: that the building wasn't isn't an upring as a saloon.
- 33:08Speaker 1: But inside he sees light, a warm yellow light. He
- 33:16Speaker 1: hears piano music. He walks inside. The room is filled.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Men are drinking cards, a're being dealt. Someone laughs. Bartender
- 33:32Speaker 1: looks at directly at him. You're late, the Trevor says,
- 33:39Speaker 1: late for what. Bartender smiles for the game. Trevor looks around.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Something feels wrong. Nobody is moving quite naturally. Nobody is blinking,
- 33:55Speaker 1: and then he knows something. Every person in the room
- 34:01Speaker 1: is staring at him, every single one. Bartender pours him
- 34:08Speaker 1: a drink. The glass is red. The traveler pushes away.
- 34:15Speaker 1: What is that? The bartender whispers the last. The traveler stands.
- 34:26Speaker 1: He tries to leave, but the door isn't there anymore. Instead,
- 34:33Speaker 1: there's a wall behind him. Cards began shuffling. Someone says deal.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Another voice, deal, and another deal, and everyone begins whispering
- 34:54Speaker 1: the same word, del dem. The traveler turns around. The
- 35:06Speaker 1: men with the poker table are no longer looking at him.
- 35:11Speaker 1: They're looking at us for someone behind him. He slowly turns.
- 35:19Speaker 1: He's standing directly behind him, a man covered in blood.
- 35:25Speaker 1: A man's face is pale, his eyes are dark. In
- 35:30Speaker 1: his hand a revolver. He raises it. Do any did
- 35:43Speaker 1: any of that happen? No? Not, as far as the
- 35:49Speaker 1: historical record tells us that the documented story is already
- 35:56Speaker 1: frightening enough. Bucket of Blue Slew is a real place.
- 36:03Speaker 1: The building is real, the violence was real, the murders
- 36:10Speaker 1: associated with history were real, and the building still stands.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Apart of Ulbrook's historical past, the ghost well that's another question.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Is there no reliable historical proof that the spirits of
- 36:30Speaker 1: the dead still walk those rooms? And perhaps that's not
- 36:37Speaker 1: what makes the story frightening. Maybe the real horror is simpler.
- 36:43Speaker 1: People actually died there. People sat at the tables, people laughed,
- 36:51Speaker 1: people drank, people playing cards. People thought they would wake
- 36:58Speaker 1: up the next morning, and some of them didn't tonight.
- 37:07Speaker 1: If you ever find yourself driving through Homebook Arizona and
- 37:12Speaker 1: you see the words bucket up Blood Street, stop for
- 37:17Speaker 1: a moment, looking down the old street. Listen. Might hear nothing.
- 37:26Speaker 1: There's probably, and that's probably for the best. But sometimes
- 37:32Speaker 1: the scariest places aren't the ones you aren't the ones
- 37:38Speaker 1: that you could hear the ghost. They're the ones you
- 37:41Speaker 1: could imagine what happened when the living are still there.
- 37:49Speaker 1: The cards, the whiskey, the arguments, the gunshots, the screams,
- 37:57Speaker 1: and finally silence. The Bucket of Blued Saloon began as
- 38:07Speaker 1: the cottage, but history gave it another name, a name
- 38:12Speaker 1: that survived in men who created it, the name that
- 38:20Speaker 1: survived the saloon itself, a name that survived generations. Bucket
- 38:27Speaker 1: of Blood. Perhaps somewhere in the darkness of old Holbrook.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Beneath the desert wind, beneath the sounds of the passing trains,
- 38:41Speaker 1: there's still a poker game waiting to be finished, a
- 38:46Speaker 1: chair going to be occupied, a glass waiting to be filled,
- 38:54Speaker 1: and a voice in the darkness, quietly asking are you
- 39:00Speaker 1: ready to deal? I hope you enjoyed this story, and
- 39:17Speaker 1: you know I wanted to ask. I want to answer
- 39:20Speaker 1: one of those questions. Questions and I've had experiences in
- 39:28Speaker 1: the Bucket of woodsloon. So I was in a react
- 39:33Speaker 1: reenactors group called the Bucket of Blood Reenactors, and we
- 39:41Speaker 1: did a lot of saloon scenes. We've done jail breaks,
- 39:46Speaker 1: who've done bank robberies, who do everything for the West.
- 39:50Speaker 1: And we have one guy that he owns or I
- 39:57Speaker 1: don't know if he still owns it or owned it.
- 40:01Speaker 1: He owned the Young's Corral and he was our bartender
- 40:06Speaker 1: and other thing, a doctor and other things in the
- 40:11Speaker 1: in the group, and he happened to he was thinking
- 40:16Speaker 1: by in the bucketbut saloon. He was gonna refurbish it
- 40:21Speaker 1: and turn into what it was. We had the opportunity
- 40:27Speaker 1: to go down there, and as we were waiting, most
- 40:34Speaker 1: people were outside of the outside of the UH building,
- 40:41Speaker 1: Me and mister Young. We went in and he was
- 40:47Speaker 1: showing it's it's like time never stopped. I mean, it's
- 40:53Speaker 1: like time stopped where it was. You get that old
- 40:57Speaker 1: saloon feeling for as you know, oldness, and it'say the
- 41:04Speaker 1: old West going for time again. And we were in
- 41:10Speaker 1: the back and we were looking at different things, and
- 41:18Speaker 1: I happened, we happened to hear a piano music. We
- 41:24Speaker 1: thought maybe one of our ye had a couple of
- 41:27Speaker 1: people I knew how to play piano. We thought, you know,
- 41:32Speaker 1: one of our girls were playing it, or one of
- 41:35Speaker 1: the guys playing and all of a sudden, you heard
- 41:40Speaker 1: some gunshots or sometimes we have old ammunition or old
- 41:46Speaker 1: blanks that we use need to be filled up with
- 41:49Speaker 1: some new ones in and you hear like four or
- 41:52Speaker 1: five shots and we go out after we're done. We
- 41:58Speaker 1: asked him, so, you guys playing the piano or we
- 42:02Speaker 1: guys playing around with the you know, finding some shots,
- 42:07Speaker 1: you know, just get rid of them. And they looked
- 42:10Speaker 1: at us and said no, we were out here talking
- 42:16Speaker 1: and you know, we weren't doing nothing. And we looked
- 42:20Speaker 1: at each other, me and mister Young, and we witnessed
- 42:30Speaker 1: the past, come on line far as piano music and
- 42:35Speaker 1: the gunshots, and I know that it is real. The
- 42:42Speaker 1: ghosts are there, and I hope you like the story.
- 42:54Speaker 1: And until then, night and whatever you do, don't sit
- 43:04Speaker 1: at any tables you may be sorry and tell them
- 43:13Speaker 1: my friends, this is Joe the ghost guy saying idy
- 43:20Speaker 1: else to me. Ghosts, see you as soon. H
