| Publisher Description: We always have a curiosity of the unknown. We strive to learn and always have an open mind to all things even when they seemed a bit outlandish. I ended up doing ghost research in the town of Tombstone in the mid 2000s that led to more discoveries such as the "Tombstone Thunderbird" among others. Of course being interested in the topic I wanted to learn more I fell into newspapers and books that were up to 100 years old for any information leading to answers. Even if the answers were elusive and mostly lost in time. I felt like I was on a journey into the past, a very mysterious past filled with the paranormal, a very taboo yet popular topic for the time. More recently these stories and fantastic articles have seen the light of day thanks to the internet however; in most cases they barely touched the topic. I was of course on a mission to report on the oddities of Tombstone and ended up discovering much more. As I read these accounts, I couldn't help but wonder if there was some sort of connection. I couldn't help but report on them as well or I felt I was truly leaving a part of the story out of the bigger picture. The Thunderbird for example is not an isolated event or and open and shut type of case. The story even has ties with Elizabeth Lake out in California. What if there are more strange connections that have yet to be unearthed? Discoveries are made almost daily that at least answer some burning question. I felt only necessary to include most of my findings in these pages as it only helps paint a bigger picture. UFO sightings of the 1880s is a vast and interesting look at the fascination of life beyond our own and at the time flight was still a mystery all its own. The people of the turn of the century truly lived in a wondrous age of discovery and ideas. Not everything was roses however, there was a great deal of violence that kept life on the edge for many settlers of the 1880s. The time may change but, people do not. Personal vendettas and wild unexpected accidents claim lives today, just as it did then. Some stories never get told as others never resolve. Leaving a poor soul to wander restlessly for answers. I hope you enjoy this look at the more strange and unnerving glimpse into Tombstones shadier side. Maybe you'll be inspired to dig through old papers and books yourself and see what is hidden between those dusty pages. Trust me, it's worth it. |
