1
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>The life of a prospector was not an easy one.

2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Though painted with the ideas of striking it rich, very

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>few ever did. Many would work themselves to the bone,

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and many others died as a result. It was a

5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle that gripped many victims. Today we will be talking

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>about the story of heartbreak and murder, where prospecting didn't

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>turn out so well and it drove a mother to kill.

8
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>My name's Ben and I'm Nicole, and you're listening to

9
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.240

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we're recording early. That's how we're gonna do this.

19
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 4>That's a feat and a half. Ah for us.

20
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 1>It is, Well, you're going on kind of vacation.

21
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 4>Kind I don't think i'd call it a vacation.

22
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>It's a work trip and you're gonna go visit family

23
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and do some cool stuff in the meantime.

24
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I have an elopement and an engagement session

25
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 4>in the Oak and Agan. So I'm pumped.

26
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what it's like to be a professional photographer

27
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>here in BC for miss Nicole.

28
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this has living my dream life. I've always wanted

29
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>to travel for work like this.

30
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>So well, and tell me how many different wineries do

31
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you plan on going down there? Going to while you're

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>down there?

33
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Actually, Like I didn't want to go to Angle? What

34
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>I know. Isn't that weird because we actually have no

35
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 4>wine either.

36
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>No, we don't. We're like we were down to our

37
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>last bottle I think right now, which is pathetic.

38
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>So maybe I should, but I literally wasn't planning on

39
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it because also, like you can just go.

40
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 4>To the liquor store.

41
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it's not the same.

42
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 4>It's not the same.

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny that I'm usual all about this, but

44
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 2>this time I'm kind of like, if I've downtime, I

45
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>might just lay there and look at the ceiling and.

46
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Have a break.

47
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, touche, nothing wrong with that.

48
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 4>We'll see, We'll see how I feel.

00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the James Jamison who's like the air to the John

85

86
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I don't know if I

95
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>I really like that one. And I also just think,

96
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>like jack O, I don't know, it almost is like

97
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>something you could listen to you as you're like going

98
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to sleep, Like it's just kind of soothing.

99
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 1>He's soothing.

100
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 4>He's not very soothing.

101
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:38.439
<v Speaker 1>There's something about him. I don't know.

102
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I don't know. No, Yeah, he's a good.

<v Speaker 1>Vibe He's a good vibe for sure.

104
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 4>So I know you've been researching away what you got

105
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 4>in store for us today.

106
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, he got an interesting episode. I kind of made

107
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 1>sure that I searched for one that would be a

108
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 1>good mix to kind of bring Fearful to light but

109
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>also for Wick and Grim. Okay, so it's an interesting one.

110
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You ready for it, let's dive in. Okay, this episode.

111
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I feel like you have not given enough credit where

112
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 3>it is due. My podcast Fearful has been received more

113
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>than just well, I would say it's been leaving people breathless.

114
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Instead of your regular Wicked and Grim program. Why don't

115
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 3>we take a detour into my world for a while

116
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 3>and I can show you exactly what you can expect

117
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 3>when you listen to my show. My name is jack O,

118
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 3>And on this episode of Wicked and Grim Things a

119
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 3>bit fearful. Our tale takes place in the time of

120
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 3>the gold Rush in the heart of Arizona in the

121
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 3>United States of America. The gold rush initially started around

122
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>eighteen fifty eight. In This was a time of tails

123
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>of the hills flowing with gold, and each person who

124
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 3>dared to chase the riches would invest their life and

125
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 3>all they had in order to try and strike it rich. Prospecting, though,

126
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 3>was not for the feint of heart, as many would

127
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 3>find out, it was a rough life. It was extremely

128
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 3>hard work to generally bear very little money in return.

129
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>But it was a calculated risk that many took, wagering

130
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 3>it all on a roll of the dice of life,

131
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 3>all for the slim chance of riches. In Arizona, gold

132
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 3>particularly was rare, so instead many would turn to finally

133
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 3>mining silver and copper as a means to try and

134
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 3>stay afloat. The town of Kingmen was established in eighteen

135
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 3>eighty two as a result of the mining, and it

136
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 3>was your typical small mining town. But not far from Kingmen,

137
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 3>nestled amidst the rugged landscape of this American West lay

138
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 3>a hidden secret, shrouded in a darkness and a mystery,

139
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>was a place known as Slaughterhouse Canyon, where the ghosts

140
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 3>of the past whisper haunting tales of tragedy and despair.

141
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Just southeast of Kingmen is where the canyon lays. But

142
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 3>alas before it received this ominous nickname, the canyon would

143
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 3>be named Luna's Canyon, in honor of a matriarch of

144
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 3>an impovershed family who lived in a small wooden shack

145
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 3>deep in the heart of the canyon, and this is

146
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 3>her story. While there are many different versions of this tale,

147
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 3>if you dive deep enough into the history, there are

148
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.840
<v Speaker 3>many reoccurring themes between each and everyone, which will in

149
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 3>turn paint a picture of what is considered to be

150
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>the truest of events. Luna was a mother and a

151
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 3>wife to a miner who lived in the canyon. The family,

152
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.639
<v Speaker 3>like many others in the area, were taking their chances

153
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 3>chasing riches in the hills and were captivated by gold fever.

154
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 3>So they moved with their children into a small wooden

155
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 3>shack along a dry wash in the middle of the canyon.

156
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Luna would stay home and care for the household, while

157
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 3>her husband would go out and prospect for gold, trying

158
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 3>to bring the riches home to his family. All he

159
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 3>longed for was to provide to offer his family comfort

160
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 3>and security. Casting way the shackles of an impoverished life,

161
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.960
<v Speaker 3>armed with the unwavering resolve, he embarked on daring ventures,

162
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:16.000
<v Speaker 3>delving into the untained lands in pursuit of treasures untold.

163
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 3>His hands calloused and weathered, he tirelessly toiled to unearth

164
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 3>glimmering veins of gold and precious oree, while the sweat

165
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>that adorned his brow bore witness to his unwavering devotion.

166
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Both Himm and Luna dreamt that with the shimmering find,

167
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 3>they drew nearer to the day when they would strike

168
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 3>it rich, and they, along with their children, would never

169
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.679
<v Speaker 3>again endure the agonizing uncertainty of a meal by meal existence.

170
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Until they realized their dream of striking it rich, they

171
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 3>needed to rely on what was brought home from the

172
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 3>prospecting excursions. Many times their food stores would solely be

173
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 3>what was able to be brought home from the hunt

174
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 3>of the father's outings. Sometimes, in both hunting and prospecting

175
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 3>he was indeed fruitful, when others it seemed a gloomy

176
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 3>shadow stole any luck he may have once had, and

177
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 3>he would return home with little to none. Yet time

178
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 3>and time again he would venture out in search of riches,

179
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 3>each time bidding farewell to his loved ones as he

180
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:53.039
<v Speaker 3>embarked on an expedition into the unknown. This time around, however,

181
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 3>things would be different. The normal few days he was

182
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>absent would soon turn into weeks and weeks into aching

183
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 3>months in the depths of the mountain. His trusty mule

184
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 3>carried him and his gear along the dry landscape, and

185
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 3>a fate's mysterious design would create a new fate for him.

186
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Entirely cruelly snatching him away from his loved ones, he

187
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 3>vanished into the shadows of the mountain, never to be

188
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 3>seen again. Whispers of his disappearance reverberated through the town

189
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 3>of Kingmen, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. What

190
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 3>became of this relentless prospector did he succumb to greedy robbers,

191
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 3>or did the unforgiving wilderness claim him in a ruthless grasp.

192
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 3>His absence cast a haunting veil over his family, leaving

193
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 3>them suspended between both hope and despair. To this day,

194
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.279
<v Speaker 3>the fate of the miner remains a mystery, as not

195
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 3>a trace was ever found of him. Some claim he

196
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 3>indeed fell prey to treachery by the hands of thieves.

197
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Others surmised the nature's untamed creatures claimed him. Whatever the case,

198
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 3>his family was left behind without the provider. Lunar waited

199
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 3>for her husband's return with bated breath, but her hopes

200
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 3>began to wither, while her family's provisions dwindled, leaving them

201
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 3>in the grip of an insidious hunger. The relentless pangs

202
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 3>of starvation tormented them, and despair slowly tightened its grip

203
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Luna's fragile sanity. Her children too were starving and now

204
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 3>bore the unmistakable marks of malnourishment in their frail forms,

205
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:19.519
<v Speaker 3>their eyes hollow when pleading, gazing at their mother with desperation. Yet,

206
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 3>despite her love, she found herself trapped in a horrifying

207
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:35.759
<v Speaker 3>reality where nourishment was but a distant memory. Unable to

208
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 3>bear witness to her children's slow demise, a sinister madness

209
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 3>clawed its way into her mind in a nightmarish twist

210
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 3>of fate. Consumed by a dark delusion, she committed an

211
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 3>unthinkable act. She would dawn her wedding gown and succumb

212
00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 3>to the twisted company.

213
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>She took the.

214
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.919
<v Speaker 3>Lives of her innocent children and dismembered their bodies into

215
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 3>several small, macabre fragments. The tiny wooden shack, once a

216
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 3>sanctuary of a family's love, became a house of unfathomable horror,

217
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 3>its walls splattered with the Crimson testament of a mother's

218
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 3>descent into madness as she was unable to watch her

219
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 3>children starve for a moment longer. Driven by the grief

220
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 3>of her actions and by the starvation, she.

221
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Was forced to act upon.

222
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Lunar's frail frame carried the remains of her beloved children

223
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 3>towards the murky waters of the nearby river. As her

224
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 3>trembling hands released her children into the cold waters, her

225
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:06.080
<v Speaker 3>blood soaked figure collapsed, a wretched heap of anguish and sorrow.

226
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Her heart broken cries pierced through the silent night. As

227
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 3>she laid on the river's edge. A scream would echo

228
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 3>through the haunting canyon as she mourned the very lives

229
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 3>she had just extinguished. By mourning, she would succumb to

230
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 3>starvation and join her children in the afterlife. Legend tells

231
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 3>her restless spirit remains within the ancient cliffs, driven by grief.

232
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Her ethereal wails, mournful sobs still echo through the mountains

233
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:57.840
<v Speaker 3>and defy the passage of time. Those who dare to

234
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 3>venture near slaughter House can recount ye reetales of inexplicable sounds,

235
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 3>Whispers from an alleged mother's shattered heart and her descent

236
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 3>into madness.

237
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>But is it true.

238
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Do her cries really echo through the night in slaughter

239
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 3>House Canyon or is it the imagination of those passing

240
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 3>through hearing a mere ghost story. One thing is for sure,

241
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 3>this tale is a haunting reminder of the past and

242
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 3>what some have gone through simply to survive, and what

243
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 3>others go through to end the suffering of another. Luna

244
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 3>may very well have taken pain from her children, but

245
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 3>if this story is true, in doing so, it seems

246
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 3>she may have very well paid the ultimate tour of

247
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 3>an eternity of torment on herself just to ensure her

248
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:21.680
<v Speaker 3>children could rest. I do hope you enjoy today's episode,

249
