00:04:13,841 [Jennifer] 89 00:04:13,882 --> 00:04:17,303 We're pretty much in the center 90 00:04:17,344 --> 00:04:19,555 And so this is where 91 00:04:19,596 --> 00:04:22,474 Right next to it was 92 00:04:22,808 --> 00:04:24,893 We used to have 93 00:04:24,935 --> 00:04:26,353 and the majority of them 94 00:04:26,395 --> 00:04:27,938 We have about 20 left. 95 00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:30,316 And so

for the Chinese 434 00:20:50,628 --> 00:20:52,255 at the time. 435 00:20:52,297 --> 00:20:54,757 We've brought in Derek Tang, 436 00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:56,551 studies at Cal State Northridge, 437 00:20:56,592 --> 00:20:58,469 to learn more 438 00:20:58,511 --> 00:21:00,179 of the Chinese miners. 439 00:21:00,221 --> 00:21:02,181 It's a privilege to be here 440 00:21:02,223 --> 00:21:03,474 Chinese American. 441 00:21:03,516 --> 00:21:06,477 And this is very much 442 00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:08,521 They had civil unrest 443 00:21:08,563 --> 00:21:10,815 So a lot of the Chinese were 444 00:21:10,857 --> 00:21:12,859 seeking gold mountain 445 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,819 in large waves in 1849, 1850, 446 00:21:14,861 --> 00:21:18,614 so there is obviously a lot of 447 00:21:18,656 --> 00:21:20,533 that were already here 448 00:21:20,575 --> 00:21:22,660 And unfortunately, 449 00:21:22,702 --> 00:21:24,412 where they couldn't stake 450 00:21:24,454 --> 00:21:28,041 so they were given very 451 00:21:28,082 --> 00:21:30,001 [Jennifer] Now there was 452 00:21:30,043 --> 00:21:32,545 where a number 453 00:21:32,587 --> 00:21:35,423 and some sources say 454 00:21:35,465 --> 00:21:37,550 How do you account 455 00:21:37,592 --> 00:21:39,510 [Derek] A lot of Chinese 456 00:21:39,552 --> 00:21:42,013 so it could be anywhere 457 00:21:42,055 --> 00:21:43,931 like the news reports say. 458 00:21:43,973 --> 00:21:44,599 People didn't care. 459 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,143 They were pretty much 460 00:21:47,185 --> 00:21:49,354 I'm superstitious, 461 00:21:49,395 --> 00:21:51,272 as many other 462 00:21:51,314 --> 00:21:53,524 It's definitely possible 463 00:21:53,566 --> 00:21:56,527 in this particular ghost 464 00:21:56,569 --> 00:21:59,405 Chinese miners wrong 465 00:22:02,158 --> 00:22:03,743 [Jennifer] With all 466 00:22:03,785 --> 00:22:06,788 I have to admit that Cerro Gordo 467 00:22:06,829 --> 00:22:09,457 for paranormal activity. 468 00:22:09,499 --> 00:22:12,251 But I know this isn't 469 00:22:12,293 --> 00:22:14,921 so I'll keep pursuing 470 00:22:16,422 --> 00:22:19,008 Black mold is one possible 471 00:22:19,050 --> 00:22:21,886 So I'm taking different 472 00:22:21,928 --> 00:22:25,139 all over Cerro Gordo to 473 00:22:25,181 --> 00:22:28,476 what is triggering 474 00:22:33,648 --> 00:22:36,651 This could be the evidence 475 00:22:40,905 --> 00:22:42,990 [music] 476 00:22:44,325 --> 00:22:45,743 [Jennifer] The burning of 477 00:22:45,785 --> 00:22:48,663 wasn't Cerro Gordo's first 478 00:22:48,704 --> 00:22:50,498 Is it normal for 479 00:22:50,540 --> 00:22:52,375 built in such 480 00:22:52,417 --> 00:22:55,503 or is it proof 481 00:22:55,545 --> 00:22:57,630 with vengeful spirits? 482 00:22:57,672 --> 00:22:59,257 Sierra believes it's the latter, 483 00:22:59,298 --> 00:23:02,385 and she's trying to close in on 484 00:23:04,846 --> 00:23:06,305 [Sierra] 485 00:23:06,347 --> 00:23:08,516 and a spirit did burn down 486 00:23:08,558 --> 00:23:11,519 so far, construction tycoon 487 00:23:11,561 --> 00:23:13,646 as the most likely culprit. 488 00:23:13,688 --> 00:23:15,690 His spirit is 489 00:23:15,731 --> 00:23:17,692 and I think he's powerful 490 00:23:17,733 --> 00:23:19,735 level of destruction. 491 00:23:19,777 --> 00:23:21,362 But at the same time, 492 00:23:21,404 --> 00:23:23,656 I'm connecting with other 493 00:23:23,698 --> 00:23:25,783 So I'm not ruling out 494 00:23:25,825 --> 00:23:29,245 a veteran miner who famously 495 00:23:29,287 --> 00:23:32,665 or his victim, respected mine 496 00:23:33,249 --> 00:23:37,378 I'm not sensing dark energy from 497 00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:39,714 or feeling a connection 498 00:23:39,755 --> 00:23:42,508 So I'm ruling them out. 499 00:23:42,550 --> 00:23:44,093 [Jennifer] While Sierra 500 00:23:44,135 --> 00:23:46,012 her ghost suspects, 501 00:23:46,053 --> 00:23:48,389 I'm testing my theory 502 00:23:48,431 --> 00:23:52,894 causing people to experience 503 00:23:57,899 --> 00:24:00,568 The results for the mold tests 504 00:24:00,610 --> 00:24:02,069 That's really surprising. 505 00:24:02,111 --> 00:24:04,447 So that's one possible 506 00:24:04,489 --> 00:24:06,199 to mark off the list. 507 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,701 Even though I'm unconvinced 508 00:24:08,743 --> 00:24:10,745 are terrorizing Cerro Gordo, 509 00:24:10,786 --> 00:24:13,122 I'm keeping an open mind 510 00:24:13,164 --> 00:24:15,917 And now Brent thinks that 511 00:24:15,958 --> 00:24:18,127 Sierra's paranormal claims. 512 00:24:18,169 --> 00:24:19,587 I got this letter 513 00:24:19,629 --> 00:24:21,714 This woman wrote to me 514 00:24:21,756 --> 00:24:24,759 had bought some spindle beds 515 00:24:25,468 --> 00:24:26,219 [Sierra] She says, 516 00:24:26,219 --> 00:24:28,679 "I've always wondered who the 517 00:24:28,721 --> 00:24:31,682 and whether his death 518 00:24:32,225 --> 00:24:36,521 It's definitely possible that a 519 00:24:36,562 --> 00:24:39,899 to a bed if that bed held 520 00:24:39,941 --> 00:24:41,984 during their lifetime. 521 00:24:42,026 --> 00:24:44,403 This girl saw a ghost 522 00:24:44,445 --> 00:24:46,989 even though she was 523 00:24:47,031 --> 00:24:50,451 This is one of the most powerful 524 00:24:50,493 --> 00:24:53,955 and he seems determined to keep 525 00:24:53,996 --> 00:24:57,458 Maybe that extends from the bed 526 00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:58,834 So even though I'm a skeptic, 527 00:24:58,876 --> 00:25:00,836 let's just assume that the 528 00:25:00,878 --> 00:25:01,629 Other than the bed, 529 00:25:01,629 --> 00:25:05,091 how can you confirm there's 530 00:25:05,132 --> 00:25:07,093 It wasn't just some 531 00:25:07,134 --> 00:25:09,470 or the creaking of the floor. 532 00:25:09,512 --> 00:25:13,391 Like, they saw a spirit 533 00:25:13,432 --> 00:25:16,686 I mean, maybe they could even 534 00:25:16,727 --> 00:25:17,562 I'm Hannah Race. 535 00:25:17,562 --> 00:25:20,273 [Jennifer] So I reached out to 536 00:25:20,314 --> 00:25:22,858 and her daughter agreed to talk 537 00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,486 My grandfather was 538 00:25:25,528 --> 00:25:29,865 and he had got these really 539 00:25:29,907 --> 00:25:31,325 Cerro Gordo. 540 00:25:31,367 --> 00:25:34,161 And one of them had been found 541 00:25:35,496 --> 00:25:37,832 I spent the night in 542 00:25:37,873 --> 00:25:40,167 I was fast asleep. 543 00:25:40,209 --> 00:25:42,545 And I just woke up 544 00:25:42,587 --> 00:25:44,839 You can feel someone's 545 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,216 That's what woke me up, 546 00:25:47,258 --> 00:25:49,427 And I felt kind of scared stiff. 547 00:25:49,468 --> 00:25:52,305 So I slowly turned 548 00:25:52,346 --> 00:25:54,265 doorway that 549 00:25:54,307 --> 00:25:57,685 And there was somebody 550 00:25:59,937 --> 00:26:02,565 And I freaked out. 551 00:26:02,607 --> 00:26:06,485 And he started to dissipate. 552 00:26:06,611 --> 00:26:08,112 And he was gone. 553 00:26:08,154 --> 00:26:10,031 I think I probably sat in bed 554 00:26:10,072 --> 00:26:12,283 I just sat up straight. 555 00:26:12,325 --> 00:26:13,993 I was scared stiff. 556 00:26:14,035 --> 00:26:16,996 Did anyone else experience 557 00:26:17,038 --> 00:26:19,206 [Hannah] One time my cousin 558 00:26:19,248 --> 00:26:20,708 And when she came 559 00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:23,085 she said, the weirdest thing 560 00:26:23,127 --> 00:26:24,545 I woke up in the 561 00:26:24,587 --> 00:26:28,341 and I thought Uncle Rick 562 00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:31,844 He just kind of disappeared. 563 00:26:31,886 --> 00:26:33,095 She described him, 564 00:26:33,137 --> 00:26:35,681 and I thought, 565 00:26:35,723 --> 00:26:37,767 After that, 566 00:26:37,808 --> 00:26:39,685 and put them in the closet. 567 00:26:39,727 --> 00:26:43,314 And I don't remember there 568 00:26:43,356 --> 00:26:47,068 or happenings once the beds 569 00:26:47,109 --> 00:26:50,112 It's almost as if he was 570 00:26:50,154 --> 00:26:52,490 when they were in use. 571 00:26:52,531 --> 00:26:55,242 You know, one thing I always 572 00:26:55,284 --> 00:26:56,827 is what they 573 00:26:56,869 --> 00:26:58,371 Are they trying 574 00:26:58,412 --> 00:27:00,164 Are they trying to get things 575 00:27:00,206 --> 00:27:01,874 And I just don't get 576 00:27:01,916 --> 00:27:03,501 And it wasn't 577 00:27:03,542 --> 00:27:05,127 It was multiple people. 578 00:27:05,169 --> 00:27:07,838 It seems to me that the spirit 579 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,133 anyone who sleeps in that bed. 580 00:27:11,717 --> 00:27:14,929 [Jennifer] As odd as it sounds, 581 00:27:14,970 --> 00:27:17,473 that a ghost from Cerro Gordo 582 00:27:17,515 --> 00:27:19,600 who slept in his bed. 583 00:27:21,394 --> 00:27:24,313 To investigate further, 584 00:27:24,355 --> 00:27:26,691 that can help us understand 585 00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:29,694 to the 19th century 586 00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:32,113 Would a bed like this 587 00:27:32,154 --> 00:27:33,906 in the afterlife 588 00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:35,991 or just another 589 00:27:36,033 --> 00:27:38,744 [Sierra] Curator Jon Klusmire 590 00:27:38,786 --> 00:27:41,497 So this is our 591 00:27:41,539 --> 00:27:45,835 They started in 1865, 592 00:27:45,876 --> 00:27:48,295 And as time went on, 593 00:27:48,337 --> 00:27:49,004 they found lead. 594 00:27:49,046 --> 00:27:53,300 Probably at the peak, 595 00:27:53,342 --> 00:27:54,844 in Cerro Gordo. 596 00:27:54,885 --> 00:27:58,431 Pretty good reputation 597 00:27:58,472 --> 00:28:01,600 and for almost a shooting a day. 598 00:28:01,642 --> 00:28:05,730 It's isolated up in the Inyo 599 00:28:05,771 --> 00:28:09,358 So basically everything that was 600 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,110 with freight wagons. 601 00:28:11,152 --> 00:28:13,821 We have a photo of a bed. 602 00:28:13,863 --> 00:28:16,699 How prized and how rare 603 00:28:16,741 --> 00:28:18,576 at that time? 604 00:28:18,617 --> 00:28:21,036 [Jon] That would be a pretty 605 00:28:21,078 --> 00:28:24,707 The road is 18 miles 606 00:28:24,749 --> 00:28:28,627 To bring a big, nice piece 607 00:28:28,669 --> 00:28:30,671 up that grade with a wagon, 608 00:28:30,713 --> 00:28:33,674 that would be a 609 00:28:38,679 --> 00:28:40,347 [Jennifer] I could not imagine 610 00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:42,600 of material possessions 611 00:28:42,641 --> 00:28:45,102 with horses. 612 00:28:45,144 --> 00:28:49,273 To get a bed up here, 613 00:28:49,315 --> 00:28:50,858 You have to be 614 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:54,445 You can't just be Joe Schmo 615 00:28:54,862 --> 00:28:58,699 You have to be somebody rich, 616 00:28:58,991 --> 00:29:00,659 [Sierra] I was the same way. 617 00:29:00,701 --> 00:29:03,287 I said, how attached could 618 00:29:03,329 --> 00:29:06,165 with all of these 619 00:29:06,207 --> 00:29:07,750 Really attached. 620 00:29:07,792 --> 00:29:09,418 Extremely attached. 621 00:29:09,460 --> 00:29:12,713 You go to work 622 00:29:12,755 --> 00:29:16,050 is coming back to your bed. 623 00:29:16,175 --> 00:29:18,302 For the majority 624 00:29:18,344 --> 00:29:21,430 it wasn't a good town to be in. 625 00:29:23,682 --> 00:29:27,186 Brent, we were able to track 626 00:29:27,228 --> 00:29:29,855 that had the beds 627 00:29:29,897 --> 00:29:33,400 And they got rid of them 628 00:29:33,442 --> 00:29:36,111 paranormal activity 629 00:29:36,153 --> 00:29:37,696 We have this letter too, 630 00:29:37,738 --> 00:29:40,574 and it describes 631 00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:45,704 [Jennifer] It says something 632 00:29:45,746 --> 00:29:47,832 [Brent] 633 00:29:47,873 --> 00:29:49,124 it's kind of just 634 00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:51,794 It's not more than 635 00:29:57,132 --> 00:29:58,884 [Sierra] I'm hoping that 636 00:29:58,926 --> 00:30:00,386 where the haunted bed came from, 637 00:30:00,427 --> 00:30:02,721 then we can finally get 638 00:30:02,763 --> 00:30:05,182 haunting Cerro Gordo. 639 00:30:22,908 -->
