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!

Tim F , Thanks for the cool info!. Do you know if there is any video on that town?.

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 KZbin 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 😀

[@themechaniacal1558]

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.

[@LSUfan]

How much does that plaster cement weigh?

[@lizlocher2817]

I have always wanted to visit a ghost town and this one is documented in my Haunted Old West magazine. You two are so so lucky and your photos in the sculpture are excellent!!!! Great idea!!!!

[@nancykurpaitis7928]

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

[@cherylbowker7664]

That is sssooooo ccccoooollll!!!

[@jimreiter2648]

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 ...

[@cmlsmovingpicturevideos9873]

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

[@nightwishfan7234]

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!

[@nightwishfan7234]

Rhyolite has some kind of presents inside of it too. It's kind of a creepy place

[@gregaustin1000]

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

[@deexypher7373]

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

[@heru-deshet359]

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.

[@JHllll42278]

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

[@grimmlifecollective]

We are planning a visit to it real soon actually

[@michaeldickens7493]

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

[@Crose8587]

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.

[@pantrog96]

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.

[@kemikemi756]

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

[@cathydavidthoma7503]

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!

[@karentarr8930]

Love ghost towns, visited one in Arizona called Jefferson an old gold miners town, very cool 😎 ty for this visit

[@damattice23]

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. 💜

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

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?

[@valgrant3303]

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

[@thoughtengine]

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

[@jillgross6232]

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

[@CharlotteOConnor]

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

[@MegaCatlady66]

wow loved this wish i could see it up close

[@msheline]

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 ❤❤❤

[@achall78]

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!

[@maryannwheeler6116]

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

[@louiseblakey2465]

You should come to England. In England we live in houses older than this town xx love your videos

[@MarzannaMorana]

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.

[@marcieclemens2359]

I hope you guys went to Bodie now that's a ghost town , and make sure you get to go to Virgina City boot hill cemetary.I love you guys 😉

[@55judylw]

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.

[@jacoblyman5359]

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

[@karenmay2567]

Thank you - glad I found your channel ! 👍

[@ivymlledo]

Go to Bodfish, CA by Lake Isabella. Okay.. that Ghost Town gave me the creeps! Take the tour as well and honestly.. you’ll feel spirits! 💀

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

[@ken_tiki5241]

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

[@originalredneckgirl]

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

[@vanessabecerra8066]

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

[@lisaa6755]

you'd probably love a drive down old route 66. at least to vegas. lots of old closed shops and stations from films. and there's a ghost town on the way called Calico but it's a tourist stop now. much busier than this one. and in vegas, there's some cool tunnels on backside of hoover where train tracks used to be pulling in supplies. oh and there's a haunted bar in Jean, NV. anyway. love all your vids.

[@kandn420]

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.

[@janl1256]

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!
