Union Mill and Mine

Originally I was going to investigate a cemetery however when you go offroading in Virginia City the dozens of dirt roads it can get a bit confusing. Allot of the old dirt roads lead to mills and mines. Some dirt roads lead to doom believe me I learned this over the weekend lol.

When I entered the dirt roads I never did find the cemetery I did however end up hitting heavy amounts of ice and snow. There is actually in the canyon allot of foliage so at one point I drove through a woodsy area. Since I could not see the road very well I ended up trying to leave the area to investigate something else and went down the wrong road.

When I went to back up I didn't straight it enough and the ice slammed me against a small evergreen tree. Hell two of my wheels were not even touching the ground but I managed to rock the truck back and forth eventually spinning the truck enough to pull on out of there. Little did Tammy and I know but that little tree put two big dents in two of my doors and cracked the plastic on the rear hatch. It also took off paint and scraped an entire groove down the drivers side. So it looks like ill be spending some time installing new doors on my truck in the near future the perks of offroading.

When I made it out of there Tammy was relieved I was near a steep edge so the only thing saving me was that tree so I guess there is a good side to all of this. If I went over I am sure id lived but id been pretty Pissed off lol. It was extremely cold in this canyon and all I could see were the dim lights of Virginia City off in the distance. Tammy gave me a huge hug when I got the truck out little did I know that when I stepped out of the truck my camera fell in some snow.

We decided to call it a night since we were returning to Virginia City at least two more times this month however when we left town I realized my cam was missing. I was at the gas station looking through my things couldn't find it anywhere. The truck was dented and had so much dirt on it you could tell we were in the back roads.

I had to drive all the way back into Virginia City searching the roads once again driving over the ice.....dealing with steep drop offs.......being careful not to get stuck again. Eventually I said screw it we were already parked at the lower Union Mill and Mine so I took a break and did a night hike around the ruins.

Out in front of me was a massive 50' wall about 20' high which I climbed up the snowy hillside just to stand on the wall. Then I found other ruins built up along the hillside which I explored for about 20 mins. I seen Tammy looking around and she was pretty small so I was way up on the hillside. Just as most mills all that is left of this one is stone foundations. Across the dirt road was a massive foundation as well that we climbed around on.

We ended up after this walking the road back to where we were stuck I found a piece of rubber fitting for one of my windows that was torn off and eventually we found the camera. The only thing noticeable of the camera was the strap sticking out of the snow thank goodness Tammy spotted it good eye good eye lol.

I did capture a pretty interesting ghost photo at the Union Mill site then again I did some research about this area and it turns out there is some pretty odd shit that goes on back here. I have heard of tales about ghost with glowing eyes, deaths back here in the 1800's and mining accidents. I also read its one of the oldest mining areas in the state so allot of the mills back in this canyon are made of stones not concrete with rebar. The same stone mined at the top of the Comstock Trail.

Another strange thing that occurred is I heard the voice of a man yell at me while I was hiking around the ruins. Whether it was ghostly I really do not know but this canyon is not anywhere near any homes or human life. Its a canyon littered with graves, mines, dirt roads, rocks, foundations and debris piles from the mining days. In one night I hiked around this mill on three occasions most of it was due to searching for my missing camera so it kind of gave me plenty of time to get a feel for what is all back in the canyon.

Their was something else odd about all of this so ill explain it then you can decide if it sounds odd at least I think it is. When I was stuck Tammy left the vehicle thus her prints were all around the hillside in a very small contained area. The snow back here was nearly a foot deep there was not any human prints let alone any other vehicle prints in this part of the canyon. Again its a pretty treacherous offroading experience but if you want to get to some of the less known haunted places its worth the journey.

When we made our way back to the location on foot down the dirt road to where Tammy's prints were we found these massive boot prints in the snow. They were large ill leave it at that almost looked like a miners boot print. They were not there 20 minutes prior to our search so either someone was watching us in this canyon hiding or something paranormal made them. What was even more odd about the boot prints that whatever made them had one foot/leg anotherwards the set of tracks circling the area of where we hit the tree had to be a one legged person hopping around on one foot making these prints even more of an ODDity. It was the oddest thing I have ever seen especially in the snow and considering how cold it was back here I doubt anybody was out here but us.

When I arrived home I did more research on the Union Mine found out there are other ruins and sites that were part of this operation. I had only seen the lower portion of the mill but I did find an upper portion which even has larger foundations and more to see. So I definitely plan on revisiting this site sometime this weekend during the day to see this location to its entirety. I am not sure who yelled at me or why we found the strange prints we did was it worth what happened to the truck in a sense yes no pain no game I guess. I did find out it was a very deep mine deaths and accidents at one time did occurr surrounding this site.

Virginia City is never a disappointment the more I explore the more I want to see. Considering that 600 miles worth of tunnels run underground beneath the town it is a pretty scary scenario so if those tunnels are haunted so are these sites that once led to them. I read that most of the tunnels have enough water in them that is equal to the amount of water in all of Lake Tahoe. Then there is all the legends, spooky tales and tragic deaths that took place surrounding mills like these. The adventure and the history runs deep as their is never a dull moment in what was known as one of the richest gold and silver mining towns in all of America.

After our day of adventuring Tammy surprised me with a grape cigar it really hit the spot it was a pretty intense day for me. More then often I have to visit locations first to check out safety issues sometimes interview others on its history. Then there is the photographic experience we work hard at to bring to our viewers so you get to see some of these locations as per day versus night. It was a rewarding trip and I cannot wait to return to all three locations to further our investigations of them.
Peace,

Evidential Photography

A face lingers on the hillside above the dumping area and below the main mill ruins.

The manifestation is now full blown with this magnificent face. You can make out the lips, eye socket and the bridge to the nose. The nose is much larger indicating that this perhaps may have been a Jewish person. Not saying they are however keep in mind the Jewish cemetery resides only a few hundred yards from these ruins you see on the hillside.

A face manifest nearly in the middle of the road staring back at us. This is the same area we found these giant boot prints which were not there a half hour earlier during the first investigation. This is an old mining road very treacherous to drive on and we had an accident with the truck back here. This was captured when we walked back here to search for a rubber fitting that was knocked loose from the truck trying to offroad back here.

A smaller but obvious man's face manifesting in this mass of ectoplasm on the road.
This is another face with a bit of a grin taken at the bottom of the hillside of an area that is called the dump. This entity seems to be smiling at me as if it is glad that we are here at least that is my theory.

Again more spirit photography below the mill site and mine at the dump area. You can clearly see that this was probably a middle aged man distinguished with possibly a mustache, deeper eye socks, chiseled chin and a wider bridged nose.

Glowing ball of light heading up to the main mine it could be moisture but it definitely stood out compared to dust thus we are sharing it for your own theories.

This is the damage we recieved from traversing on the mining road below the main mill. Notice the massive grooves in both the drivers and passenger side doors. We suffered loss of paint, broken window fitting, two side gashes and a busted back door. When were driving up the icy road I went to back up to turn around and somehow a giant groove in the road pulled us right into a pine tree. It took quite sometime to get unstuck once we did we left the area then came back a half hour later to park and hike in. During this hike is when we noticed the strange single boot prints, captured the spirit photography and heard a ghostly yell while hiking amongst the junipers.
