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?.
@@debi1451 Hi Debi, Just enter "Rhyolite ghost town" in TH-cam search engine. I found several that way.
@@timfields6130 Cool , thank you , I will do that!.
Wow.. super interesting ! Thx .
Great info!!! I'm shocked Grimm hasn't replied
Albert Szukalski. The father of a friend of mine. Belgian artist! Cool to see this 😀👍🏻 Jessica pronounced it right.
Ik had geen flauw benul dat dit een Belgische kunstenaar was! Bedankt om dit aan te halen! 🇧🇪🤘🏻
it was polish artist Greetings from Poland :-)
Belgian artist with a Polish last name. Interesting.
I like ghosts :P

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 TH-cam 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.
How much does that plaster cement weigh?
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!!!!
This Couple is Soooo Cute Together!!!!! WONDERFUL When One finds Their Soul Mate and can Enjoy Life Together!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
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
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.
I love how you both appreciate each other’s quirks. It really shows in this video and I absolutely adore it. ♥️
Yes(: I would die to have a women that loves to travel and see new places lol
@@Savage_Gamer777 Let's go.
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.
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.
Have you ever considered going to the Salton Sea? Absolutely love that place
We are planning a visit to it real soon actually
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
Yay I've been waiting to see this thats so cool with the donkeys just hanging out hi Jessica and Michael
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 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!
Rhyolite has some kind of presents inside of it too. It's kind of a creepy place
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!
That was really cool. I love buildings like that. Shows the history and what buildings have gone through over time. Very well done video
That is sssooooo ccccoooollll!!!
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?
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. 💜
I love going through ghost towns and researching and reading about their histories. More importantly, their cemeteries for extra histories..
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
Love ghost towns, visited one in Arizona called Jefferson an old gold miners town, very cool 😎 ty for this visit
I can't but think about the end of the planet of the apes (1968) when seeing all those buildings and sand~
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.
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!
We live in Henderson nv so we love the Nevada videos the most! Hope you two enjoyed your European excursion!
I love you both! Thank you for taking me vicariously on your travels. Stay safe and keep doing you!
The mesh over the graves was probably in case of critters scavenging the corpses...
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 ❤❤❤
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!
They kind of remind me of the Ring wraiths from Lord of the Rings. Of course that might be my imagination. 😄
Yessss same here

I love it that your post are so current! There are so many great places off 395.
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
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.
wow loved this wish i could see it up close
Great Drone Shots!!! Almost looks like Mars. WOW!
Thank you John. Felt good to get the ole Ghostly Swoosh up in the air. ( that’s the drones name...Ghostly Swoosh)
I was so excited to see another video you do such a great job ☺️
Now someone should do this in their garden for Halloween. Never too early to plan.
In that building that was the jewellers - the small room inside was most likely the safe.
Thank you - glad I found your channel ! 👍
Hey guys, love your videos! The Rhyolite Ghost Casino was originally built to be the train station. See you next time.
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.
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 ! 🖤
Such a cool place, I especially like those ghost statues.
‘There’s the center, go for it. Your fully meditated...” lol
The large fenced in building was the train station
Thanks!
I am just seeing this now. Thank you so much for this, and thank you for watching. Happy Halloween 🎃
Love 💕 The music 🎼 U play in ur Videos 👍👍
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 ❤️💀🖤
Bet the night sky out there would be stunning to look at!.. no light pollution and no clouds..

You should come to England. In England we live in houses older than this town xx love your videos
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 😉
Awesome video. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Very Good guys. Another Home Run.
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....🤗🐻🤗❤
What an amazing place!! I never get tired of watching your videos.. whether old or new!!
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!
Great video guys,the landscape is beautiful and enchanting
Enjoyed your videos of history and old film industry. Keep up the great work !
The thing the ghost was holding was a palet. An easel would be the thing that would hold the canvas to be painted on.
Jessica walks the peace& meditation path. Walk slowly, bare feet and
Contemplate life😎
Oh, that's it! …I thought that she was on sedatives.
Great vid Michael, you and Jessica did a really good job!! 👍🤜🤛
I have driven by the off ramp ( 😏🥰) many times. I think I even visited the little town years back…. I missed so much thank you! I will go back sometime again. You guys are such a joy to watch , I love you guys!
Just found these videos. My Husband and I were there about 20 years ago. Great to relive.
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.
First here you guy's are the best! ☺🙋🏻👻🎸🎼🤘
You are the best Kitty. Thank you for watching our show
Oh my gosh, this was an awesome video. I spent four days out there photographing! Such a cool area. Ryolite is different in your video from when I was there back in 2011. (I lived in Las Vegas) I’m a new fan of your channel and am having a blast checking out your videos.
Those sculptures are fantastic. Great video. Jessica is amazing. Love you guys.
Totally awesome. Love this Video. Thanks for sharing it.
Really neat guys! Definitely some interesting areas you chose to explore and film. 🤠😎👍
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! 💀
I absolutely 💯 love your Wife's Elvira outfit! My Dad and I when I was growing up used to watch Elvira all the time!!
Superb video guys, since you are now in California I read somewhere the Salton sea is also a nice place in a post apocalyptic vibe from all the salt-encrusted structures on shore at Bombay Beach
Been wanting to go there for years...it’s coming
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.
Love your videos! If you’re ever up in Northern Nevada, Virginia City is an old mining town with a cool graveyard to check out.
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.
Very cool ghost town!! Hello Michael and Jessica
9:40 the ground is SOUR !!! lol
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
م̷ـــِْن وين صرصور 😂😂😂
Yes, my mom lives in Big Bear and they have wild donkeys on the roads and in the neighborhoods. Dangerous on the roads.
Beautiful drone shots!
I really love this video ❣ Thank you 👻
The Outer Limits music and narration would fit well with this spooky video. 👽👽
This is on my roadtrip bucket list
Hi Michael and Jessica. Really enjoy your broadcasts. Just wondering what the music is you use as your into and outro theme? Jess looks fabulous in that dress. Perfect for those ghost figures
Killing it with the content at the moment guys 👍🏻✔️
I know a family that lives in Mina. It’s a really tiny town. But it does have alot of old buildings.
Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Those ghostly sculptures are super cool. I love ghost towns. You ever been to Jerome, Arizona Ghost Town? It's an active ghost town but there are still alot of abandoned crumbling building's there. Its a very cool place and super haunted.
awesome job guys, love these
Awesome find love it
I love this kind of exploring!
Brilliant guys 👍
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.
