Ballarat resides on the southern edge of Death Valley and at the base of the Panamint Mountains. I merely was doing research when I stumbled across this ghost town learning that most of the paranormal activity that takes place in this region seems to revolve around this desolate ghost town.

In 1897 the town was discovered and up until 1905 there was almost 500 residents living here. The town had a Wells Fargo station, post office, school, jail, morgue, several saloons, multiple hotels and many mines. Within the towns reach there is a 27 mile loop that takes you through many small mining camps and past several of Bellarats Mines. Since the sun was going down during our first initial visit I did not simply have enough time to investigate or exploring the canyons which overshadow the town.

Like most mining towns when the Ratcliff mine suspended operations residents starting leaving and by 1917 the post office was closed leaving only a few prospectors and vagrants behind.  Today much of the town has been wiped off the map minus a few adobe foundations and structures. Throughout the town there are shards of glass, tires, old mining equipment and remnants left behind from when the town was bustling.

In the 1960's Charles Manson and his cultist called "The Family" moved into a cabin just south of Ballarat and eventually they visited this site leaving graffiti within the town. Today there are a couple permanent residents one of them is the caretaker and from what I hear enjoys talking to visitors. Not to mention that it is a meeting spot for four wheeling up into the Panamint Mountains and Death Valley. During the cooler months allot of folks come up here just to camp and I am sure those that do it regularly have some really good paranormal stories to share. 

Back in 1971 there was a hippy festival which brought in about 2000 to 3000 visitors to the ghost town. Sadly a couple hundred contracted hepatitis from drinking contaminated water. One of the residents who resides here gets paid to fix the water pipes within the town. I am sure that isn't such a bad job to have in the winter months however in the summer temperatures can rise to 120 degrees making this location an inferno. During the winter the Panamint Mountains remained snow capped draped in fog giving off an extremely eerie feeling. 

Near Ballarat during the rain season a lake resides along the edge of town. I know I drove through the lake as it over poured itself onto the dirt road making entry almost impossible here. Not to mention the fact that along the edge of town is the China Lake military base which was said to be built on the entrance to Death Valleys subterranean tunnels which truly makes this a very fascinating area to explore.

Ballarat was named after a very colorful town in Australia which today is far from a ghost town by a young immigrant named George Riggins. The Ballarat in Australia is very rich in gold just like this Ballarat. However most folks have heard of this town in the US from the 1969 Easy Rider movie when Peter Fonda's character, Wyatt removes his Rolex watch and throws it away before him and Dennis Hopper's character, Bill head east on their motorcycles to New Orleans.  I know some of you reading this can recollect this scene if you do that was Bellarat! 

Further below you can read a more in depth history on Ballarat it certain has a colorful history all the way from pranks to outlaws to stories of success to early history. There may be no place like it in the world as nights are very cool and days are very hot. Behind the town is the Panamint mountains and a canyon that leads to another ghost town which eventually died out due to its seclusion and harsh weather. Then to the west is a nice view of the Argus Mountains across a beautiful desert floor. One of the strangest sites within the town is a small wood cabin which is labeled as the town morgue, hotel and jail. Each year a lady and her son are said to come up here to reside in this cabin. I am not sure how comfortable I am eating in the town morgue but to each there own. Not to mention the fact that one of the longest races in the world ended here in Bellarat called a Car In The Worlds which was one by a Thomas Flyer which traveled over 13,000 miles in 167 days in 1908.  The car now can be seen in Harrah's in Reno not to far away from where we are now based.

As far as paranormal phenomena in the area the town is rumored to be haunted afterall some of its residents were buried around town. Not to mention that over the years many have seen strange lights surrounding the towns desert floor and mountains. This could be attributed due to the fact that China Lake borders Bellarat so they might be testing aircraft. Then you have tales of secret tunnel entrances which are said to lead to an ancient underground city underneath Death Valley. Those entrances may just be up in the Panamint mountains. Lastly I have heard of reports deep up in the mountains of hikers seeing yeti like creatures. Behind the town you have one of the highest peaks in the area called Telescope Peak which in the winter has frigid temperatures and is snow covered with a dense forest. It is quite possible for the strange to exist around this town afterall it is a very lonely and secluded area that really doesn't get allot of attention. 

There is something eerie about this town maybe its the fog on the layers of the Panamint mountains but the feelings I get here are very gloomy. I feel as if I was constantly watched and the mountains kept calling out to me. Even though its very scenic here you can feel something brewing in the air. Maybe its the fact that a few of its locals stare you down like they never seen a person in weeks or maybe its knowing that I was within miles from another world one that has been lost to mankind.  We may never know but a second trip here might reveal more as we may decided to go for a hike in the Panamint Mountains which overshadow all of Ballarat. Do you really want to know what I think? I think there might be some bodies buried on the outskirts of the town maybe from back when Charles Mansons Family  chilled on out in this area maybe I am wrong but something here is not right.  I sense something bad in Ballarat and if I could pinpoint it I might be rich ha ha but that is what I am an explorer one who seeks truth. 

Today Rock Novak remains in Ballarat looking after the town. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Rock but he did wave to me as I entered the town and we waved back. From what I hear he is a really friendly guy and has allot of tales to share. I highly recommend anyone visiting to stop by and talk to him he is a very knowledgeable man since Rock and his father George have lived here most of there lives.

Seldom Seen Slim -- known to his parents as Charles Ferge -- said these words many times, and they are the epitaph on his grave at Ballarat, California. Slim's funeral in 1968 was broadcast on television around the country, as he was the last of a breed -- a Rainbow Seeker -- one of the prospectors who spent his life on the Mojave Desert in and around Death Valley. Slim had made his home in Ballarat since 1917.
 
Parked at the base of the Panamint Mountains, it's hard to imagine a more lonely and empty spot than old Ballarat. The weather is extreme; summer highs reach into the 120s, and winter nights are freezing cold. But, sitting on the porch of the general store, it's easy to see why desert characters such as Seldom Seen Slim -- as well as Frank "Shorty" Harris, renowned barkeeper Chris Wicht, Wyoming gambler and gunman Michael J. "Jim" Sherlock and a collection of other desert rats -- made Ballarat their home. It's a spectacularly beautiful area. From the incredibly rugged and steep Panamints, the flat expanse of the valley floor and the Argus Range to the west, it is desert land at its best.
 
Ballarat was born in 1896 as a supply point for the mines in the canyons of the Panamints. A quarter-mile to the south is Post Office Springs, a reliable water source used since the 1850s by prospectors and desert wanderers. George Riggins, a young immigrant from Australia, gave Ballarat its name when he proposed it should be named for the city in the heart of Australia's gold country.
 
In its heyday -- from 1897 to 1905 -- Ballarat was home and headquarters for 400 to 500 people. It hosted 7 saloons, 3 hotels, a Wells Fargo station, post office, school, a jail and morgue, but not one church. Ballarat was an oasis of fun, frolic, and relaxation -- a town to go to and blow off the dust of long trails and hard work. The town began its decline when the Ratcliff Mine, in Pleasant Canyon east of town, suspended operations. Other mines nearby also began to play out, and in 1917 the post office closed and all that remained were a few diehard prospectors and desert rats.
 
The excitement was over, and there was little reason for Ballarat to continue as a town; it withered but would not die. Some notable names in Death Valley history made the mud houses of Ballarat their home, including the inimitable Frank 'Shorty' Harris -- the prospector's prospector, responsible for numerous gold finds.
 
Shorty was a desert character. Happy-go-lucky, open and always friendly, he'd give a friend the shirt off his back, but he'd never work in a mine. His job was to find the gold, not to dig it out; and find it he did. His love affair with "O be Joyful" whiskey and his casual attitude about money cost him not one but several fortunes. His most famous sale was the original Bullfrog strike, in Rhyolite, near Beatty, Nevada.

In 1904, Shorty had gone to Goldfield, then down to Keane's Wonder on the edge of Death Valley, but he was too late at both of these strikes. He partnered up with Ernest Cross -- Shorty hated working alone, and would always share his gold with a friend -- and prospected the hills west of Beatty's ranch. They hit the bigtime with a strike that was bigger than Goldfield or Keane. True to form, Shorty tied one on, and while under the influence of "O Be Joyful," sold his interest for less than $1,000. Cross sold out, too, but for enough to buy a ranch near San Diego.
 
That sale wasn't the first nor the last time Shorty would find a fortune then give it away; but the loss never seemed to bother him. To him, it was the search, the life and the desert he loved. The view from his shanty in Ballarat kept him there; it is spectacular and no amount of gold could replace it. Looking out across Panamint Valley to the Argus Range is a restful sight. Behind the town, the Panamints rise almost straight up from Ballarat's 1,067 feet to Telescope Peak's snowcapped summit at 11,049 feet.
 
Another story about Shorty Harris takes place in Ballarat, at Shorty's favorite bar. The truth of this story can't be verified, but true or not, it's a classic yarn of Ballarat.
 
It was Fourth of July, and a 3-day hooraw was underway. Shorty had been imbibing his usual and was passed out in a corner of Chris Wicht's saloon. His friends decided to wake him up in a way he'd never forget. They found some boards and threw together a coffin, then placed it on Chris Wicht's pool table -- with Shorty in it. Votive candles were lit and hours later, when Shorty stirred, Chris called the boys together and they began a eulogy for Shorty Harris. When the boys lifted the casket to carry him out to the graveyard, Shorty began shouting -- and jumped out, ran out of the saloon, and reportedly didn't return to Ballarat for months. He probably spent the time trying to figure a way to top that prank, but couldn't find one.
 
Shorty lived in Ballarat, off and on, till his death in 1934. He was one of a handful of miners and prospectors who hung on there, but the town faded after his death. Today, Chris Wicht's saloon is gone back to dust; but the remains of Shorty's cabin stand north of the main road into Ballarat. The foundation and corners are visible next to another miner's shack that remains in good condition.
 
In the 1960s Neil Cummins bought the private land east of Ballarat and tried to revive the town. He wanted to create another Palm Springs, with tourism and golf taking the place of mining. He built a cinder-block store and set up a trailer park with electrical hookups. The attempt failed, however, and he gave it up in 1988.
 
Also in the 1960s, another famous (or infamous) visitor came regularly to Ballarat. Charles Manson with his family of killers stayed at the Barker ranch south of town, and left their graffiti in Ballarat. An old Dodge Power Wagon parked near the general store still bears the stars the family used as their signature, on its headliner.
 
Today Ballarat has one or two full-time residents, and the store is open most afternoons and weekends. Visitors are welcome. Many 4-wheelers use the trailer park as a campground headquarters for expeditions into the Panamints and Death Valley. The scenery is still spectacular, virtually unmarred by signs of human occupation.
 
Walking around the remains of the old town, and visiting the old cemetery, it's easy to visualize the ghosts of Seldom Seen Slim and Jim Sherlock -- and hear the happy noise of Shorty and his friends in Chris Wicht's saloon. And Slim is right: they're not lonely.

AKA "Seldom Seen Slim"

"Me lonely? Hell no! I'm half coyote and half wild burro."

Seldom Seen Slim said these words many times, and they are the epitaph on his grave at Ballarat Cemetery in Ballarat, California.

Seldom Seen Slim, named Charles Ferge by his parents, was born in Illinois in 1881, according to wellfare records. Slim always said, "I got no people, I was born in an orphanage.

Slim came to Ballarat sometime between 1913 and 1917, not long after the town was abandoned by the miners who had been seeking their fortunes in the silver mines of the Panamint Mountains. He became the last resident of Ballarat, now a ghost town. Slim had a reputation as a recluse with a cantankerous side. He didn't believe in showers or baths because "bathing was a waste of water". Although, he did make into town for his annual haircut and bath whether he felt he needed it or not!

Slim was a visitor to Trona when the time came to stock up on supplies of tobacco for his corn cob pipe and to replenish his bottle of hooch. His reputation was so widespread that Walter Knott had statues of "Seldom Seen Slim" made and placed in his Knotts Berry Farm and Ghost Town in Buena Park, CA.

Slim was found ailing in his rundown trailer in Ballarat's ruins and was taken 70 miles to Trona, where he survived only five days. His funeral was in Boot Hill in 1968 and was broadcast on television around the country before cable, as he was the last of a breed of prospectors who spent their lives living on the Mojave Desert in and around Death Valley. He was the first to be buried in the Ballarat cemetery in half a decade. After Slim's death in 1968, at the age of 80, the United State Department of the Interior approved the naming of a peak in the Panamint Mountains in honor of Charles Ferge. The peak is now named "Slim's Peak".
