Last Week's AZ Book Signing: A 28-year dream in the making.

Last week, I took a trip to Tombstone, Arizona to sign my latest book called "Ghosts of the Bird Cage Theatre on a Medium's Vacation." The trip was actually a 28-year dream in the making. 

   Back in 1994 I went to Tombstone, AZ to investigate Wyatt Earp whom I became fascinated with. I later visited several other states where he lived and gathered info to write a book about him - but alas, there are already too many.

   So, once my "super power" of mediumship came to be in 2005, and I returned in 2019 for the ghost tour. It was then I encountered 11 ghosts (all confirmed) and after getting the approval from my friend Billy who manages the Bird Cage, I wrote a book about those experiences. I published the book in Feb 2022 and it hit #1 on Amazon under the category of US Regional Western Travel guides! I was astounded.

  Billy and his wife Amy then invited me out for a book signing during the Wyatt Earp Days festival in the town "Too Tough to Die" as it's known.

 The Experience

I arrived on the afternoon of Saturday, May 28 and stayed to 5pm on May 30th! There were always a steady stream of visitors coming in.

When you enter the lobby of the Bird Cage, there is always an employee dressed in western garb to give you a 5 minute overview of some of the history and then you can take a walking tour.  I was stationed in the lobby and that meant that the "lady of the evening" ghost that I encountered in 2019 in the catwalk above the lobby let me know she was still around.

Friends Visit from California

My friend Eric and his buddy Steve planned a driving vacation from California to Arizona, and timed it around my appearance in Tombstone. So we got to go to dinner and all took the ghost tour! 

More Ghosts

During this ghost tour I encountered 4 of the same ghosts (out of the 11) that I met three years before. I also met a couple of others who were too shy to come out and greet me then.  These other ghosts are also proven/cataloged figures from the 1880s in the Bird Cage!

AZ Trip #10: The Ghost Who Walked Through Me in Tombstone

The sidewalk where the ghost of a man walked through me

In today's blog, we take you to Tombstone, Arizona.My friend Dan and I left Bisbee and drove to Tombstone for a ghost tour (which you'll read about in the next blog). In this blog, you'll learn a bit about Tombstone and then about the ghost who actually walked through me. 

The outside of Smoke Signals during the day

I've been to Tombstone before, last in 1993, when I was pursuing the history of Wyatt Earp. In fact, I'm a big fan and have traveled around the country to places he lived and worked. I was going to write a book about him, but so many have been done that I decided against it. Anyway, Wyatt and his brothers were in Tombstone (see the movie of the same name, which is most historically accurate, BTW).

ABOUT TOMBSTONE, AZ - Tombstone is a town in southeastern Arizona, known for its Wild West history. Exhibits at the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park include a replica gallows. On historic Allen Street, the O.K. Corral outdoor theater re-enacts the famous Oct. 26, 1881 gunfight between the Earps and Doc Holliday (who represented the law) versus the "Cowboys," who were rustlers and murderers. Resident ghosts are said to haunt the bullet-riddled Bird Cage Theatre. Outlaws are among the local townsfolk buried at the 1878 Boothill Cemetery.

Sidewalk at night

MY GHOSTLY SIDEWALK ENCOUNTER - Since Dan and I arrived about 1 hour before the ghost tour, we thought we would walk around the town (although all businesses were closed except for the saloons and a variety store). The store fronts all open to a wooden planked sidewalk, and as we were walking down one of them we stopped in front of a store called "Smoke Signals." 

Suddenly, the ghost of a dead man walked right through the left side of me! I felt cold and realized he had taken warmth from my body! My left arm and side had all suddenly gone cold and I felt as if I had the wind knocked out of me!  I told Dan what happened, and asked him to feel my left arm. He confirmed that it was very cold, unlike my right arm. We also noticed that I had goosebumps on my left arm. 

WHY THE COLD? As I wrote in my books, ghosts are all about energy. They're like a light bulb that needs energy to get strong enough to light up (and communicate with the living). So, when the ghost walked through me, he took my body heat to continue to manifest.

WHO WAS HE? The ghost didn't tell me who he was, but I knew immediately that he was once a resident of Tombstone. He wasn't in the mood for talking or answering questions and seemed in a hurry. He just walked through me and kept on walking. That would be the first of many ghosts I encountered that night.
