The Spanish-style building (in fenced in area) was originally the train depot. At one time, three different railroad companies came into Rhyolite. In the 1930s, the old depot became a casino and bar, and later it became a small museum and souvenir shop that stayed open into the 1970s. In its heyday, (1905 through 1910) Rhyolite had three train lines, three newspapers, three swimming pools, three hospitals, two undertakers, an opera, and symphony and 53 saloons. By 1914, Rhyolite was in decline and by 1919, it was a deserted ghost town. Its last resident died in 1924... Another awesome video Michael and Jessica. Happy Halloween!

Albert Szukalski. The father of a friend of mine. Belgian artist! Cool to see this 😀👍🏻 Jessica pronounced it right.

I love watching videos from this lovely couple, I live alone except for my cat in a tiny flat in the uk after breaking up with my x partner 4 years ago after a 26 year relationship when she cheated and left me for the guy she cheet with i went into extreme depression then 8 monthes later my mum was told she had cancer asked me to care for her at home and she passed away 4 monthes later ,these events had a truly massive effect on my life i don't have a TV because I don't want one so KZfaq provides me with all my entertainment ,I'm subscribed to a few channels, some trucking channels, and some where people visit places that I'll never see and learn about, this channel is my favourite, it takes me away for a while, I love that there is a male and female couple as the other I'm subscribed to is just a guy ,and the places they visit captures my interest, my personal favourite so far is THE LOST BOYS movie locations, this takes me back to my teens when life seemed much better 😀

The concept of draping blankets of plaster cement (or whatever it is) over subjects to create ghost statues is absolutely brilliant. It doesn't look difficult to do, but the result has endless possibilities.

This Couple is Soooo Cute Together!!!!! WONDERFUL When One finds Their Soul Mate and can Enjoy Life Together!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The cemetery is actually all around you when driving out in the desert. It's like the old saying goes... "There are a lot of holes in the desert", if you get my meaning.

Btw just did a bit of research rhyolite is on the eastern boundary of death valley. Its also called rhyolite because of high deposits of rhyolite found in quarries there. Also the art gallery museum building is only used for special occasions this whole art exhibit is called. Goldwell open air museum. Another fun fact all the ghostly models were done by dropping wet burlap covered in plaster over live models till it dried in a position that could be firm enough to finish drying on its own

I love how you both appreciate each other’s quirks. It really shows in this video and I absolutely adore it. ♥️

Awww that "I love you" at the end was so sweet, You both are so awesome. Thank you for sharing these beautiful places with us., stay safe out there and Happy trails to both of you.

Have you ever considered going to the Salton Sea? Absolutely love that place

They kind of remind me of the Ring wraiths from Lord of the Rings. Of course that might be my imagination. 😄

Yay I've been waiting to see this thats so cool with the donkeys just hanging out hi Jessica and Michael

I made "Statues" like these a few years ago (two of them) for a home haunt. I dipped bed sheets in thinned down plaster, draped them over mannequins I set up in the sun and let them dry hard. For an extra scare at night I installed a speaker with glowing lights in them that would come on when people approached them. The yuks (from me) were non stop.

Cool place. Been there quite some time ago. Used to live in San Diego and on one of my trips to Vegas I ran up to Rhyolite. Saw those statues and the ghost like figures on bikes. Also the bottle house. Jim Morrison said it the best, “The West is the best, get here and we’ll do the rest”. Sure miss the West. Now in SWFL and it sux compared to the West Coast. lol

I drive through Beatty at least two times a week. I'm a career truck driver, hauled hazardous waste for the last 25 years. In Beatty, those donkeys will walk right up to you. They're very very friendly, especially if you have food. LOL. Another great video. Stay weird!

Back in 2005 I worked on a low budget film called 'Devil's Canyon' in Rhyolite and Beattie...I was the key makeup artist....it was in July and some days it was over 120F in temperature ...

I really enjoyed this video. Having been to many ghost towns over the years, because i too think they're cool, i find your enthusiasm of the dry, barren desert wonderful. You clearly look to find beauty every where! Thanks!

You goes should go to Boron CA and find the old prison, its an entire town abandoned, I've been 15x and it never gets old

The mesh over the graves was probably in case of critters scavenging the corpses...

That was really cool. I love buildings like that. Shows the history and what buildings have gone through over time. Very well done video

You guys are doing what I want to do. I love exploring. I love the desert. It has a life all its own. Beatty is one of my favorite places in Nevada. I've been through it many times. It's an oasis. It's grown a lot in the last 20 years. I was traveling with my mom to Kingman, AZ in 1997. She lived there. We were in separate cars. We stopped in Beatty to eat. It had one casino then. I asked mom what all the "ranches" were out in the desert and what could they possibly raise in the hot climate. They were scattered all over the desert. Small communities of trailers. Mom told me, "Judy, those are whore houses." I was shocked! Another excellent video. I'm right there with you! Thanks so much.

The spooky song at the beginning is called “The Body,” by Karl Casey for anyone else who is curious. SO many cool shots, Michael. It’s like a ghostly amusement park for adults! I’m guessing the graves were dug shallow. How hard would it be to dig a hole there?

I love going through ghost towns and researching and reading about their histories. More importantly, their cemeteries for extra histories..

The Ghost Town looks like an Atom Bomb test site from the 1950's, really cool looking.

Love 💕 The music 🎼 U play in ur Videos 👍👍

The way that yous two travel around, movie locations, haunted places, true crime spots, you're the most perfect gruesome twosome, the Bonnie and Clyde of spooks and monsters....🤗🐻🤗❤

wow loved this wish i could see it up close

The large fenced in building was the train station

That’s a walking meditation labyrinth. I’ve always wanted to build a small one on my property. You’re supposed to leave an offering or something that no longer serves you at the center, then exit. 💜

Now someone should do this in their garden for Halloween. Never too early to plan.

I love you both! Thank you for taking me vicariously on your travels. Stay safe and keep doing you!

so glad i found your channel,you are both so lovely to watch 2 beautiful souls ,Jessica so beautiful and a magical lady THANK YOU from across the pond.xx

We live in Henderson nv so we love the Nevada videos the most! Hope you two enjoyed your European excursion!

Great Drone Shots!!! Almost looks like Mars. WOW!

Rhyolite! My husband and I were there in October 2021! Pretty neat area. And we were able to go into that little museum in the open art area. Mostly talks about history of the area and samples of rocks and artifacts from the area. History of the art museum. Worth a look during a road trip! Cool that you guys checked it out!

In that building that was the jewellers - the small room inside was most likely the safe.

Jessica walks the peace& meditation path. Walk slowly, bare feet and Contemplate life😎

That was so cute when Jessica called you "Mr. Director" I want to visit this town.

Bet the night sky out there would be stunning to look at!.. no light pollution and no clouds..

Thank you - glad I found your channel ! 👍

My family and I have been exploring ghost towns for many years. We also go to abandoned places. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

Love these types of videos! Always an adventure with you two!!

First here you guy's are the best! ☺🙋🏻👻🎸🎼🤘

I don't know why Jessica when you was walking through the desert I kind of picture The Hills Have Eyes

So Cool!!! I have not been here before. So neat to see all the old stuff and abandoned areas. Hmmm, I bet night time is fun there. hehe ❤❤❤

Such a cool place, I especially like those ghost statues. ‘There’s the center, go for it. Your fully meditated...” lol

I love it that your post are so current! There are so many great places off 395.

WOW IT WOULD BE MORE CREEPY AT THE NIGHT IF A GHOST INVESTIGATION TOOK PLACE THIER !!

That is sssooooo ccccoooollll!!!

Fabulous Last Supper.

I watch so many Death Valley explorers and have NEVER seen this, I am an artist myself and to tell the truth "art installations"never have impressed me much, but like you I LOVE THIS!. the ghosts that is

Enjoyed your videos of history and old film industry. Keep up the great work !

Go to calico ghost town and cemetery. They filmed a few movies there. One horror movie 1977 The Car. They used the cemetery. They have tours, and caves and old mines. A few shops. It is off of the hwy 15 going or leaving Vegas. It was a old silver mining town

I was so excited to see another video you do such a great job ☺️

Very Good guys. Another Home Run.

Great video guys,the landscape is beautiful and enchanting

Hey guys, love your videos! The Rhyolite Ghost Casino was originally built to be the train station. See you next time.

I thought this looked familiar so I pulled up my copy of Six String Samurai. Sure enough, this is where it was filmed. That bank building is shown a few times.

Great video my friend!! Those ghost statues were cool!! I love all your videos!! You go to some really cool places!! Thank you for your hard work and thank you for taking us with you!! Love you both!! You’re so cute together!! Happy Halloween!!! 💖💖❤️❤️🙏🙏🌹🌹💙💙🥰🥰🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Donkeys on side of the road! Amazing!!! The train mural freaking amazing. These trips get better and better. Omg! I’ve never in my life seen anything like this. Hauntingly Beautiful. Besides the ghosts, I’m in love with mosaic 🛋 couch.

Love you guys. You rock. Vids are always entertaining. Keep it up 🤘

Very cool ghost town!! Hello Michael and Jessica

Killing it with the content at the moment guys 👍🏻✔️

Im a new subscriber and im really enjoying your videos. I love horror movies halloween and all the weird spooky stuff. That building was the bank and the room you went into was the vault and is supppsedly haunted by a not so friendly entity. Great video guys keep em coming and be safe!

This is on my roadtrip bucket list

Great vid Michael, you and Jessica did a really good job!! 👍🤜🤛

Love from the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you so much! Just discovered your channel. Love your content.

I loved how you both opened this video up . Great theme music for an opening ..I hope those poor donkeys are being able to eat better yet are taken care of cute donkeys . Great video as always you both never disappoint. Thank you ! 🖤

Billy the kid roamed the Navada desert. I think of him.🌵

I can't but think about the end of the planet of the apes (1968) when seeing all those buildings and sand~

If that cemetery stopped interring bodies for the city of Rhyolite in 1912, most of those graves were no younger than 109 years old. (Other than the woman who passed in 1986, I imagine she must have been raised or raised a family there) Ghost towns truly are an interesting view into early 1900 western US- not a lot of money for most to get a metal or stone gravemarker, so a simple wooden cross with a row of rocks around it will be just as meaningful.

ah great video..you guys always find interesting places.. go grimms

I know a family that lives in Mina. It’s a really tiny town. But it does have alot of old buildings.

What an amazing place!! I never get tired of watching your videos.. whether old or new!!

Really neat guys! Definitely some interesting areas you chose to explore and film. 🤠😎👍

I really love this video ❣ Thank you 👻

"I'm gonna go to the hottest place on Earth coz the hottest girl on Earth lives there, I don't even care they got spiders everywhere" Happy Halloween!

Karate Kid may say 'Sweep The Valley", but I'd say 'Comb The Desert' (Spaceballs). Interesting adventure. Thanks.

Totally awesome. Love this Video. Thanks for sharing it.

They remind me of the Shadow Demons that drag Willie and Carl off to hell in Ghost, only these ones are Bone White.

I love ghost towns. I have been to a few in different states. If you ever go past Fresno California, I suggest go to Bodi historic state park. It is a awesome ghost town.

This was the coolest adventure! I love ghost towns for the history! ❤❤❤

Man , you guys fooled me!! When you mentioned Shinarump I thought you were going to Oatman , AZ!! That’s a old gold mining Ghost Town where I lived for four years!! Great video Guys ❤️💀🖤

Look at those donkeys!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh my, I loved them. I'd of gotten out to hug one 😆 The 🎶🎵 beginning of the video was creepy beautiful...but that town...WOW 😳...how awesome is this place! 👻 Loved the ghosts. That was beyond amazing.

For some reason i got really interested in this video when i heard about the donkeys there - so strange.

Awesome find love it

I love this kind of exploring!

Love all your videos

Hi guys good to see you again thanks for todays adventure

I'm only 6 mins in so far & you know what makes it even spookier??? You didn't check for spiders & such b4 you stuck ur head in them!!! 😯😯 😂😂

Hauntingly STUNNING 😍

And just when I thought your videos couldn't get any better......BAM....You slap me in the face with this spooky cool gem!! Jessica talking about the donkeys: "Awww, the are asleep......I think." I laughed so hard! Thank you both for a great adventure.

The thing the ghost was holding was a palet. An easel would be the thing that would hold the canvas to be painted on.

Brilliant guys 👍

The Outer Limits music and narration would fit well with this spooky video. 👽👽
