Speaker 2: details than that soon, but today, you know, we went
1:19
Speaker 2: to Grand Canny Caverns, which was a great trip, and
1:24
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure out where to go. And I've
1:29
Speaker 2: been to this place a long time, but I never
1:33
Speaker 2: have understood or you know, hear the stories of what
1:43
Speaker 2: this place actually has usually I go past this little
1:49
Speaker 2: town on the way to Prescott. You know all the
1:52
Speaker 2: stories that Prescott has. I only told a few of
1:56
Speaker 2: the stories. I might end up doing a little more Prescott,
2:00
Speaker 2: and I have happened to look in through this book
2:06
Speaker 2: that my mother gave me for my birthday Sash Christmas.
2:11
Speaker 2: It's Arizona Ghost Stories, and I've been finding a lot
2:17
Speaker 2: interesting stories in here, and more of it that you
2:25
Speaker 2: more than you realize of. You know, places that I've
2:30
Speaker 2: been through that you never know. And the place tonight
2:39
Speaker 2: you're gonna go explore is a on your way to Prescott.
2:46
Speaker 2: There's a little small town many of you will just
2:50
Speaker 2: passed by, not think of it. And its name is
2:54
Speaker 2: Chino Valley. Now, Chino Valley is the the first territorial
3:01
Speaker 2: capital of the of Arizona. The capital move was moved
3:07
Speaker 2: to Prescott, fifty miles away in eighteen sixty four. US
3:13
Speaker 2: Army Calvary Lieutenant Emerald W. Whipple, while traveling through the
3:21
Speaker 2: area in eighteen fifty four, gave the community its name Chino.
3:29
Speaker 2: It's the Mexican name for the abundant curly gramma grass
3:37
Speaker 2: has grown in the area. In eighteen ninety five, a
3:42
Speaker 2: narrow gauge branch of the United Verdi and Pacific Railroad
3:51
Speaker 2: to Drome, joining the Prescott and Arizona Central was completed
3:59
Speaker 2: and the Drome Connection or Drome Junction was established. Between
4:05
Speaker 2: nineteen hundred and nineteen twenty five, the activities of Drome
4:11
Speaker 2: Junction were absorbed by Chino Valley. The town is in
4:16
Speaker 2: north central Arizona on Arizona Highway eighty nine, fifteen miles
4:23
Speaker 2: north of Prescott and thirty five miles south of ash Fork,
4:28
Speaker 2: which is on the Interstate forty. It was incorporated in
4:34
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy and its elevation and its elevation is four thousand,
4:47
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty feet. The economy of Chino Valley
4:53
Speaker 2: is based on a mixture of retail, commercial, and government activities.
5:00
Speaker 2: With the significant growth in Chino Valley, employment has been
5:05
Speaker 2: censured was created in construction, service and supplies. Agriculture is
5:13
Speaker 2: also available viable business. Now you wouldn't think of anything
5:25
Speaker 2: happening in Chino Valley, but these two women have a
5:38
Speaker 2: different story. These two women is Lisa and Jerry. And
5:47
Speaker 2: in Lisa and Jerry her Lisa and Jerry her partner
5:52
Speaker 2: of three three years took place of their home twenty
5:57
Speaker 2: miles south of Chino Valley and there by talon the Prescott.
6:02
Speaker 2: The women purchased a house and fifteen acres in Chino
6:07
Speaker 2: Valley in nineteen sixty two from a woman who has
6:12
Speaker 2: lived in the house for only three months. Lisa and
6:15
Speaker 2: Jerry were attending a party in Phoenix and by chance
6:21
Speaker 2: happened to meet the seller of the property. As their
6:26
Speaker 2: conversation progressed, the seller informed Lisa and Jerry about the home.
6:33
Speaker 2: That night, Lisa and Jerry made arrangements to make her
6:39
Speaker 2: to meet her at the property. The next day. They
6:43
Speaker 2: drove one hundred and fifty miles north's Chino Valley immediately
6:47
Speaker 2: fell in love with it and the old two story
6:50
Speaker 2: house and the surrounding land. What now follows both women's
6:59
Speaker 2: story is incredible ghostly experience. I do not believe many
7:04
Speaker 2: people which she choose to remain as in such of
7:10
Speaker 2: a negative house lest they had to. What happened to
7:15
Speaker 2: Lisa and Jerry in their home is a testimony and
7:19
Speaker 2: a testament to their strong will to conquer what evil
7:26
Speaker 2: existed in the house. Did they eventually overcome this evil presence?
7:34
Speaker 2: We shall see. First we will listen to Lisa's explanation.
7:44
Speaker 2: After buying the property, Jerry and I immediately went to
7:49
Speaker 2: work with the sledge hammer in hand hand and the
7:54
Speaker 2: will to make the helm out of real fixer upper.
7:59
Speaker 2: We set our goal to start with the most important rooms,
8:04
Speaker 2: the kitchen and the bedroom. The bedrooms were next, followed
8:10
Speaker 2: by the living room and dining room. We decided to
8:15
Speaker 2: leave the outside of the house to last. The roof
8:20
Speaker 2: had been patched six years before with hot tar, so
8:25
Speaker 2: we filled the would withstand the elements for another year
8:29
Speaker 2: or two. We spent the days in our new hose
8:34
Speaker 2: hard at work, and our evenings were spent in a
8:38
Speaker 2: beat up old trailer we had bought in part in
8:42
Speaker 2: the property. It was nice to have the trailer to
8:46
Speaker 2: shower and relax after a hard day at work from
8:50
Speaker 2: the dust and the sweat. Eventually the kitchen had been completed,
8:56
Speaker 2: and a few days so was the bathroom. The two
9:01
Speaker 2: upstairs bedrooms were next. Strange things began to happen to
9:07
Speaker 2: both of us after we decided one day to tackle
9:12
Speaker 2: the bedrooms. One morning, after breakfast, I left Jerry at
9:20
Speaker 2: the kitchen table reading the newspaper, and I walked up
9:25
Speaker 2: the short flight of stairs to the second floor. As
9:30
Speaker 2: they reached the top of the floor, the floor in
9:33
Speaker 2: one of the bedroom slammed shut with a loud bang.
9:40
Speaker 2: The noise was so loud enough to startle one of
9:45
Speaker 2: our small dogs. He ran right up to the stairs
9:50
Speaker 2: and up to the door. We eventually barked and barked. Jerry,
9:55
Speaker 2: who was in the kitchen, called out to me, Hey,
9:58
Speaker 2: what's going on up there? I answered nothing, The wind
10:03
Speaker 2: just blew the door shut. Jerry called our dog then
10:08
Speaker 2: was still upstairs with me, and he ran down the stairs.
10:13
Speaker 2: I approached the door and reached the knob and turned
10:18
Speaker 2: the knob and pushed down on the door to open it,
10:22
Speaker 2: and a hard clinking sound that the lock made, but
10:27
Speaker 2: it did not open. I thought it might have been
10:31
Speaker 2: stuck from the force of the slam, so I played
10:35
Speaker 2: with it for a second or two managed to open
10:39
Speaker 2: it just about an inch. Then it came flaying right
10:42
Speaker 2: back and shook closed position. I had feeling that something
10:48
Speaker 2: was not right. I called to Jerry get up here
10:52
Speaker 2: right now, I called her, and I thought someone was
10:56
Speaker 2: in the bedroom. I readied ourselves, possibly for the encounter
11:02
Speaker 2: of a prowler or something again, I turned the knob
11:07
Speaker 2: and pushed the door. This time it gave it a
11:10
Speaker 2: little and with Jerry's help, it opened. We entered the
11:15
Speaker 2: bedroom immediately felt a cold chill and an overwhelming feeling
11:22
Speaker 2: of what I could say only described as a heaviness
11:27
Speaker 2: or thickness hung in the atmosphere of the room. Jerry said,
11:33
Speaker 2: let's get the hell out of here. We both rushed
11:36
Speaker 2: down the stairs and into the kitchen, Noah seeing only
11:41
Speaker 2: excitement our two little dogs barking like crazy. Nevertheless, to say,
11:48
Speaker 2: we decided to leave the cleaning and the bedrooms and
11:51
Speaker 2: for another day. The memory of what happened to us
11:56
Speaker 2: that morning stayed with us throughout the day. That evening,
12:02
Speaker 2: we were having dinner once again, sitting in the kitchen table.
12:08
Speaker 2: Only form of entertainment this time was the radio, which
12:13
Speaker 2: was plugged into one of the few working outlets in
12:18
Speaker 2: the house in the living room. Suddenly our dogs began
12:22
Speaker 2: to bark above our heads. On the second floor, Jerry
12:27
Speaker 2: and I heard are hurried footsteps, someone suddenly running from
12:34
Speaker 2: one end to the bedroom to the other. We looked
12:38
Speaker 2: at each other in froze between the footsteps and the
12:42
Speaker 2: barking dogs, and the music and the radio. Our senses
12:47
Speaker 2: became overloaded. We were screaming again, concerned someone might have
12:53
Speaker 2: been in the house. Jerry stayed in the kitchen while
12:59
Speaker 2: I ran into the trailer, ready to confront the burglar.
13:05
Speaker 2: I loaded our shotgun and returned to the kitchen with
13:09
Speaker 2: our dogs leaning the way, Jerry and I cautiously walked
13:14
Speaker 2: up the stairs. Jerry reached for the light switch, and
13:19
Speaker 2: the single light bulb hung from the wires atop of
13:22
Speaker 2: the stairs turned on. Our dogs. Dashed into the same
13:27
Speaker 2: room where we had experienced negative vibes earlier that day.
13:33
Speaker 2: Then running out of crying if someone had hit them,
13:38
Speaker 2: I immediately thought no, sob was not going to hit
13:43
Speaker 2: our dogs. I yelled out, Hey, we've got a gun.
13:48
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of the room now. The only
13:53
Speaker 2: sound we heard was the sound of our dogs barking
13:56
Speaker 2: behind us. When I yelled out, I said, I've got
14:01
Speaker 2: a gun, get the hell out now. There was no answer.
14:07
Speaker 2: We described. We decided to enter the bedroom anyway. We
14:14
Speaker 2: soon discovered there was no one in the bedroom. We
14:19
Speaker 2: checked the closets and opened the closed window and looked
14:24
Speaker 2: it outside. No one. We then checked the adjacent bedroom
14:31
Speaker 2: and again. The window was closed shut, and it was empty.
14:36
Speaker 2: There was a loss to explain what was going on.
14:41
Speaker 2: We sat down on the top of the stairs, trying
14:44
Speaker 2: to sense something, but it made no sense. Jerry began
14:50
Speaker 2: to cry and I placed my arm around her. She
14:55
Speaker 2: was really frightened. Just when we heard the hideous laugh,
15:00
Speaker 2: followed once again by slimmon sound of the bedroom door.
15:05
Speaker 2: I got up and pointed the gun out the door.
15:08
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of my room now. Then the
15:15
Speaker 2: laughter began again, and the courage that was a surprise
15:20
Speaker 2: to me. I walked up to the door and turned
15:23
Speaker 2: the knob and kicked it open. The room was empty.
15:27
Speaker 2: It was enough for us. We took off and out
15:30
Speaker 2: of the house and spent most unner nervous night we
15:36
Speaker 2: had locked up in our trailer. In the comforting light
15:41
Speaker 2: of the morning, we walked out of the trailer and
15:45
Speaker 2: whistled to our dogs. The dogs were nowhere to be seen.
15:50
Speaker 2: We were probably out amongst the desert brush, chasing the
15:55
Speaker 2: skunk or something. I grabbed my gun once again, and
16:00
Speaker 2: then we cautiously re entered the house. It was a strange,
16:05
Speaker 2: walking softly, as though we were visitors at our own home.
16:11
Speaker 2: We did not want to take any chances. Upstairs. Nothing
16:16
Speaker 2: seemed strange, out of place. The feeling was totally different
16:21
Speaker 2: from the frightful night before. Something seemed calm and peaceful.
16:27
Speaker 2: As the morning progressed into the afternoon, we returned to
16:33
Speaker 2: our normal working routine. One of our dogs reappeared. Jerry
16:40
Speaker 2: became concerned about the whereabouts of our dogs. After searching
16:46
Speaker 2: a few minutes, Jerry came running to where I was
16:51
Speaker 2: mixing paint. Jerry crawled out to me, come look what
16:55
Speaker 2: I found other. I found our other dog, and she
17:00
Speaker 2: he's dead. I followed her inside the house in the
17:03
Speaker 2: living room, in the corner where a water pipe was
17:07
Speaker 2: exposed next to the wall, was our little dog. Her
17:12
Speaker 2: head was in an angle, lodged tightly between the wall
17:16
Speaker 2: and the pipe. There was no rational's reason for this
17:21
Speaker 2: to take place, none at all. We had forcedly pulled
17:27
Speaker 2: the pipe away from the wall ordered to this lodge
17:31
Speaker 2: our poor dog's head. We buried her in the yard
17:35
Speaker 2: and of course cried for days. Anything was so mysterious
17:43
Speaker 2: to us, the footsteps, the laughter, the signing of doors,
17:48
Speaker 2: the eerie feelings in the bedroom, and now the death
17:53
Speaker 2: of our dog. The weeks passed and we did not
17:57
Speaker 2: experience any further strange habit openings. The energy at the
18:02
Speaker 2: time that we were had put into the house was
18:07
Speaker 2: showing and looked great. We had progress progressed to the
18:14
Speaker 2: second floor. We started with the furthest bedroom and one
18:20
Speaker 2: of the window was completed. We entered the bedroom where
18:24
Speaker 2: we had weeks before experienced the ghostly happenings. The walls
18:30
Speaker 2: were covered in very old paint, old print wallpaper, which
18:36
Speaker 2: was wanted immediately to remove. High on the walls and
18:41
Speaker 2: faded square marks on the wallpaper showed where picture frames
18:46
Speaker 2: and bad hangings through many of the years. Jerry was
18:51
Speaker 2: going to tackle and remove the paper. But why I
18:55
Speaker 2: scraped old pane out the window and the door. Now
18:59
Speaker 2: Jerry could tell you what what she discovered. As I
19:05
Speaker 2: teared away the old paper, I reached and part of
19:11
Speaker 2: the old about two feet above the door. I pulled
19:15
Speaker 2: the paper away from the section and the wall underneath
19:20
Speaker 2: was appeared to be bloodstains on the wall board. I
19:25
Speaker 2: called Lisa to come look and then gave another opinion.
19:30
Speaker 2: She also agreed with me. I appeared to be old
19:34
Speaker 2: dried blood. We both immediately got goosebumps. I quickly tore
19:41
Speaker 2: away the rest of the paper, and soon Lisa finished
19:45
Speaker 2: mixing the paint and I painted over the blood and
19:52
Speaker 2: the stains. The following day we brought into the bed,
19:59
Speaker 2: the dresser, a small table, a lamp, and the room
20:05
Speaker 2: was finally done. At last. We had invited gathering of
20:11
Speaker 2: friends over one day and traveled from Phoenix, who greeted
20:17
Speaker 2: us with housewarming gifts. They loved the house and the
20:22
Speaker 2: decorating we spent much an effort on. Five of our
20:28
Speaker 2: visitors could not make the long trip home that evening,
20:33
Speaker 2: so they decided it's spend the night. We stayed up
20:38
Speaker 2: late at night, eating, drinking and joining each other's company
20:44
Speaker 2: in the living room during the evenings. Suddenly we heard
20:48
Speaker 2: a loud, crashing noise from upstairs bedroom. We ran up
20:53
Speaker 2: the stairs. Then I tried to open the bedroom door.
20:58
Speaker 2: I found that once again was not opening. With our
21:02
Speaker 2: friends as witnesses, I pushed and pushed and pushed, but
21:07
Speaker 2: only knew just before there was someone inside and the
21:13
Speaker 2: bedroom was pulling against my efforts. I could feel the
21:18
Speaker 2: power of the ghosts playing tug a war with me. Immediately,
21:24
Speaker 2: friend came to my rescue, and with her help we
21:28
Speaker 2: opened the door wide. We were, however, not ready for
21:33
Speaker 2: the scene of destruction, and the bedroom was in a
21:38
Speaker 2: lamp lay broken on the floor. The blankets had been
21:42
Speaker 2: thrown all over the room. Strangest of all was the
21:46
Speaker 2: wall by the bed. The bloodstains just reappeared. They had
21:52
Speaker 2: been through a newly painted wall. The sight took us
21:59
Speaker 2: all back. Our friend was nervously. Girls, we've got ghosts
22:06
Speaker 2: in the house, they said, and I kept quiet. We
22:10
Speaker 2: knew she was right with people and our friends. We
22:14
Speaker 2: cleared the mess in the bedroom and returned to the
22:19
Speaker 2: living room, they said, and I now felt comfortable informing
22:24
Speaker 2: our friends and other happinesses that we experienced months before.
22:33
Speaker 2: We experiencedly we experienced. Everyone was shocked to hear our story.
22:42
Speaker 2: As we discussion continued, suddenly from the upstairs came a
22:47
Speaker 2: horrible laugh. We all heard it. Our friend Yolanda came out.
22:54
Speaker 2: It came out of a scream. Replaced, We pleaded with
22:58
Speaker 2: everyone to help saw this strange thing all well, once
23:04
Speaker 2: and for all. We decided to walk up the stairs
23:08
Speaker 2: and take a ghost, talk to the ghost and asked
23:13
Speaker 2: to leave the house. There was strength in numbers, So
23:18
Speaker 2: up the stairs we went to the bedroom. This time
23:21
Speaker 2: the bedroom door was wide open, and then the bed
23:27
Speaker 2: would have been just remade strangely laid close. The pieces
23:34
Speaker 2: of clothes were shockingly arranged like the bed was a
23:39
Speaker 2: form of a body. The only thing missing was the
23:44
Speaker 2: actual body. It was there, neatly placed in each way
23:49
Speaker 2: that was given the impression of a body was laying
23:54
Speaker 2: in a coffin. The arms of the shirts were floated
23:58
Speaker 2: at the elbows and crossed over at the chest. I
24:03
Speaker 2: grabbed the clothes and threw him back in the closet.
24:07
Speaker 2: We decided immediately to hold hands and form a circle
24:12
Speaker 2: and pray. We prayed for Jesus to remove this ghost
24:18
Speaker 2: or ghosts and forever cleanse the house of any evil.
24:23
Speaker 2: We took turns asking for blessings and help. Suddenly, in
24:28
Speaker 2: the middle of our ceremony, we heard a quick footsteps
24:33
Speaker 2: of someone rushing down the stairs out of the kitchen door.
24:38
Speaker 2: We just held out each other's hands for another force.
24:44
Speaker 2: I cried and thanked Jesus for getting rid of the ghost.
24:49
Speaker 2: I knew that we would be the end that were hauntings.
24:53
Speaker 2: We all fell so wonderful after that, Thankfully, we have
24:59
Speaker 2: not had any more ghostly happenings to us ever since
25:04
Speaker 2: that night. Thank you Lisa and Jerry for that wonderful
25:13
Speaker 2: ghosts ghostly encounter. You know, you never know about these
25:19
Speaker 2: little small towns, you know, you know they they've been
25:25
Speaker 2: here for a long time, and you never know, you
25:29
Speaker 2: know who was in the house, pihor and what evil
25:33
Speaker 2: things that they end up doing. Anything. There's been a
25:37
Speaker 2: lot of small little towns where they did you know,
25:44
Speaker 2: you know, unholy rituals and bringing demons inside and then
25:51
Speaker 2: uh whatever happens to them, and the demons are still
25:55
Speaker 2: there and you know, possessed in the house. But I'm
26:00
Speaker 2: glad that Jerry and Lisa are doing good and can
26:06
Speaker 2: hopefully they continue to live there. Who knows, but I'm
26:15
Speaker 2: hoping that you guys like the story and I will.
26:23
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that our next adventure goes really well and
26:32
Speaker 2: next time will be some more pride surprises. And I
26:37
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe if I talk to my nephew and
26:43
Speaker 2: my nephew's fiance, they might end up doing a live
26:48
Speaker 2: or not live but might record a live haunting. Maybe
26:56
Speaker 2: you know, we might I might investigate their house because
27:00
Speaker 2: supposed to be uh haunted, so I might do a
27:03
Speaker 2: little investigation there, and when I do, I hopefully will
27:11
Speaker 2: put it up and we'll see how it happens. And
27:17
Speaker 2: but that was that's in the near future. But until then,
27:21
