The Calico Mountains rise out of the Mojave Desert, painted in a
variety of colors, which is how they got their name. These
mountains are home to Calico, a ghost town that was once a thriving
mining town. As was the case with so many other mining towns, once
the price of silver dropped, people started leaving. The gunfights,
gambling and mining of the past just faded away. Today, it is a
tourist attraction that seems to still be home for some of the
spirits of its former residents. Join us as we explore the history
and hauntings of the town of Calico. The Moment in Oddity features
Judge Crater goes missing and This Month in History features
Congress creates the Committee of Secret Correspondence. Our
location was suggested by listeners Lianna Sapien, Anna Prado-Frias
and Laura Rey.
