  Speaker 2: a Ghost Center's guide to Arizona's haunted hotels and ends.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And as I was reading it, I found a lot
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of unique things in some of the stories I have
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: done on on the this podcast, like the Grand Hotel,
• 2:17

  Speaker 1: We'll go.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And back home to my wonderful town of Sligman. Shout
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: out to all the Sigma Nights out there. And one
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: place that's unique for us. It's called the Grand Canny
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Cavern in the Grand Canny Caverns and it's located on
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the historic grouts between Keenan and Sligman. Although it is
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a separate unit team from the Grand Canyon National Park
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and is not officiated with the National Park Service, the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Grand Candy Caverns has been a stopping point for hikers
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and nearby lake nearby Housu Canyon for more than thirty
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: seven years. The inn was built near the entrance of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the caverns, not far from where the building is housing
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the restaurant and curio shop is located. The natural limestone
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: caverns are assessed by means of an elevator that descends
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: down to over two hundred and ten feet underground or
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: roughly twenty one stories. They were discovered in nineteen twenty seven,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: like quite frankly by accident one evening, as a young
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: cowboy and a woodcutter named Walter Peck was on his
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: way to play poker with his friends, he nearly fell
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: into a large funnel shaped form. Not properly equipped to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: investigate his discovery, to continue on his leader's poker game,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: where he told his buddies about the new gaping hole
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on his well traveled path. So the next day, flipped
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: with ropes and lanterns, Walter returned with his fellow cowboys
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: ready to explore the castle. One of the members of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: his blunking expedition, not Walter through, was secured to a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: rope and lowered into the depths of the leisure fissure.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: When he finally reached to the bottom, the brave cowboy
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: began to exploit his surroundings, using the lantern to light
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: his way. His light eventually shone on the what he
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: thought it was a vein of gold, were gathering a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: sackful samples. Thinking they had struck a ridge, he tugged
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: down the rope to haul back up. It was in
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: him end of the pack was lifted out. After showing
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the companions the metal fragments, he reported to Walter and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: his other companions that he also found two human skeletons
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and remains of a horse of a horse and a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: saddle fifty feet down. When the essay report the metal
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: loology chemical analysis came back, however, they found not with
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the samples what they had retrieved and scent were not gold,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but lots of iron oxide or rust. Since he had
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: already bought the lamb, Walter came up with a new
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: idea so that his investments were not completely busted. He
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: began to change to charge a fee of twenty five
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: cents for the brave and curious to enterest property the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: sea ofless skeletons, which by this time have been transformed
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: by the media to the remains of a kman. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he built a very primitive elevator whereby visitors were tied
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: one end of rope and lowered down by hand and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: crank wrench. In nineteen thirty five, a civilian conservation course
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: built a new entrance into the cavern with a wooden staircase,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: three ladders and sixty foot hanging bridge swinging bridge, which
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: was the only way to cross the caverns until nineteen
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: sixty two, when a modern day elevator was installed and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: natural entrance sealed. Now Here's the ghosts. The rest carryo
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: shops and the caverns allegedly haunted by the ghost of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: confounder Walter Peck. The ghost hunter. Megan Taylor and I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: met with Jackie, the manager of the Caryo shop, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: she's told us that sometimes when he when she is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: working late in the office, she hears the elevator go
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: up and down the caverns, even though the place was
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: empty and elevader was supposed to be off. She and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: several guests have also noticed that the light fixtures of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the restaurant shake and sweep back and forth and odd
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: hours of the day and night. Rosanna, an employee who
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: works at the restaurant, has also heard the elevator go
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: up and down the shaft, but when he has been
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: shut down for the night. She added, she noticed that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the elevator and the cabin rights were turned on and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: off by their own Several times she had heard furniture
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: being moved around the restaurant as well when she would
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: enter the dining room to check on what was happening.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: She always found something city silhouated as is even as
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: she left everything situated then when she left it in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: its rightful place. In addition to this, rock Sanna was
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: heard voices of people talking to the restaurant after closing,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and then she had gone to a rescue. No guests
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: or anyone else visible have been present. The caverns were
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: once a Native American barrel site and this is quarantine
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the Kenyans. The Grand Canyons Caverns website. You can catch
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the website at Grand Canyon Caverns dot com for more information.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And the bones that were found were actually were two
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Wallapie brothers who died in the flood. Apademic Jackie believes
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that these spirits could have been haunting the area. Although
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the bones were moved many years ago. Their spirits made
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you lingering in the caverns. Some guests the caverns have
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: felt the strange presence close by and soon after most
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: of someone and person who had not been in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: group when the tour began writing the elevator or exploited
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: with them. When they when they again look at the imposture,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the person was gone. The ghosts also playing with the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: ovens in the kitchen, adjusted in their temperatures, or turning them,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: turning them off all together. When alone work at night,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: rock Sanna was felt a spirit brush against her. She
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: feels that the ghosts are like pack of jokers. Perhaps
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they were spirits of Walter Peck and his cowboy pals
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: preparing for another late night poker game. You know, folks
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: have been down to getting grand Katy caverns. It's been
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a while, but they renovated it to ever since you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: know this book, and now you go in the caverns
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and they made it like a little lodge where you
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: could stay the night, you know, underground. And a lot
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: of people have explained that they've heard noises when they
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: were sleeping, getting touched and and stuff like that. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: also there's a petrified rob tat down there that's been
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I believe it was like two hundred years old or more.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: But also a lot of people have walked through there,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people saying that they they've been being
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: hit by the rocks, like someone stolen locks at them. So,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a lot of stories going on around.
