Eureka is not all the way abandoned. There are still a few residents living near by. We had to be pretty quiet and sneaky so we wouldn't draw too much attention to ourselves.
We made it to Eureka right as the sun began to set.
I wanted to be there while there was some light.. and while it was dark.
The sunset was beautiful.. but it left us with very little light in a spooky place.
I love exploring at night. Especially Ghost Towns.
I have always been sensitive to spiritual occurrences..
(Did you know I used to work as a paranormal investigator as a spiritual medium?)
So I find it all very fascinating.
The old mine.
Closer look into the old mine. It was blowing lots of cold air.
The abandoned main street.
I love hand painted signs, especially on brick walls.
Such a wonderful adventure.
I can't wait for the next one.
I can't wait for the next one.

ReplyDeletethese are awesome. i love the sunset ones. you make me want to explore ghost towns.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it used to be such a nice little town at one point.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures came out wonderfully, and I also can't wait for the next one you go exploring. :)
So many questions! Where did you find this place??? I didn't know places like this existed other than in horror movies. Awesome. Second, can you PLEASE PLEASE post about your previous job as a paranormal investigator and some of your experiences/how you came to work in such a profession? Would be so very interesting! I hope you are able to!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures btw, they are beautiful.
No, I didn't know you used to work as a paranormal investigator as a spiritual medium... Please do explain! o_o
ReplyDeleteMy brother and sister stayed overnight there thinking it would be super creepy, but then they saw that people were still kind of living there, and felt more like they were squatting in their backyard...
ReplyDeleteTyler_Fraser, we found this ghost town (as well as Thistle) on www.ghosttowns.com - It's a website dedicated to all of the ghost towns around the U.S. and Canada. Check it out and find one close to you. It was so fun exploring this place. Rachael is a good adventure companion.
ReplyDeleteI've got a book I got from work that has a history on all the ghost towns in Utah and the last few summers I've wanted to go around seeing them all and marking them off. Maybe I'll actually get around to doing it this summer!
