The former Bordello is located atop a spiral staircase. We were greeted by Matt, who began the investigation providing a concise insight into the former residents of the Bordello and the harsh reality experienced by the woman during the time Goldtown was occupied with miners and the like. For more information on the tour visit Fear Frontier's web site.
We began in the front greeting room of the Bordello. Lights went off and Matt began by showing us paranormal evidence captured in previous paranormal tours. Evidence of scratches, EVP, spirit box recordings and the like. Very compelling in truth.
Opposite me were two original chairs that were in the Bordello. To my left was sudden movement and I got a strong impression of a very daunting and sullen woman standing there. A Bordello Madam? Then very quickly and suddenly I was aware of a woman sitting in one of the chairs opposite me. A short video taken of the chairs revealed an orb that travelled from the bottom right to top left of the video. There was also another footage that showed a strange flashing orange orb.
We were then led into the small 'working room' of the Bordello. Upstairs was only part of the Bordello, with the downstairs being another part, which is now used by another shop owner for Portraits etc.
During the investigation in the working room, footsteps were clearly head outside the room. Nobody was in that area at the time.
A number of short videos taken in the room revealed strange light flashes which were only seen after the investigation.
Next, we were taken into the Madam's room. The atmosphere was heavy and it was clear the room had activity.
While standing close to the bed within this room room, I personally experienced a tap on my right shoulder, and the feeling of a small hand trying to hold my right hand. There is a known young girl which frequents the room, who has been seen and heard.
Whether it is in truth a deceased young girl, or something else masquerading as a girl, it is not possible to say. There is a great deal of darkness in the Goldtown due to the number of murders, suicides and deaths associated with the mining works.
We were then taken back into the front room area and watched as a Rem Pod was placed on a table located in the middle of the room. There is a haunted clock that was brought to the room, which is not linked to the Bordello in anyway, but is in truth a paranormal artifact said to the haunted by the former owner's grandmother.
Without warning the Rem Pod came alive with the red, the orange and the blue lights being activated. Matt let us know the Rem Pod had never flashed blue before.
The day time tour was impressive, but when Matt let us know they did a longer night time investigation of Goldtown, we knew had to undertake the investigation.
It began with a meet and greet by Matt and his colleague Micheal. Insights into the history of the town were shared with us. And then it began as we were led into the town itself, with Matt at the front carrying a lantern and Micheal behind us also carrying a lantern. We were told this was for our safety and we were not to venture beyond either of the lights produced by the lanterns. The atmosphere in the Ghost Town was totally different to the daytime, as if, in the words of Matt, 'the town takes off its mask and shows its true nature at night'. It was creepy and challenging at night.
We were taken to several locations and Matt & Micheal related numerous paranormal experiences in the locations. More history and a revealing of the phenomenon taking place in the Superstition Mountains and the land surrounding them. Not a safe place in truth.
We were then taken down to the remaining unflooded area of the mine, 40 feet below the ground. More paranormal insights and history, before we stopped in an area of the mine and I sat down at the back of the area. Here is where the phenomenon started. Matt and Micheal switched off their lanterns and we were left in total darkness. Not long after a heard, and felt, pebbles being thrown at me. A sceptic would say either Matt or Micheal had thrown the pebbles as a prop, but that was NOT the case. The pebbles were dropped from above me. Micheal informed me that one of the former miners is known to throw pebbles at people.
Not long after, I was aware of a presence behind me, and then the sudden strong smell of horse manure! It was not there when I first arrived, but it soon became very prevalent around me. Another person on the paranormal investigation close by to me then could smell the manure.
Micheal explained the history of the mine relating to the mules that were kept in the mine and lived their lives down in the mine. So it was mule manure not horse manure!
Micheal switched on a Spirit Box app and there was a number of interesting sentences produced that were unexpected and related to the phenomenon we were all experiencing in the mine. The lights were put back on and we are all taken out of the mine.
We were all then taken into the former Bordello to begin a night time investigation. There were numerous knocks and bangs during the investigation. More orbs and more lights. A Rem Pod was placed in the working room, and it provided interesting results. It seemed to respond to the feeling of the young girl being on the bed in the room, and then move across to the Rem Pod to answer a number of questions asked in the room.
And then, the investigation was over and it was time to the Ghost Town.
We must commend Matt and Micheal of Fear Frontiers for their professionalism and humour during the investigations. We would highly recommend both the day time and night time investigations. You are guaranteed to experience genuine paranormal phenomenon during both investigations.
