Terrifying Night in Haunted Ghost Town | Cerro Gordo

how do you guys feel about treasure hunting there's this ghost town called cerro bordeaux it's actually the ruins of this silver lining we've read might still be a lost vein of silver there in sierra gordo if you guys can find it hey [Applause] it's right on top of owens lake which is where molly stevens shipwreck occurred with millions of dollars worth of silver we're in the middle of a giant lake looking for millions of dollars of silver it sounds ridiculous but i'm having a lot of fun yeah he's over there with binoculars right now it that's it we might have made it this is it [Music] [Music] a little worried i was like if it gets a little bit darker it might be a little more sketchy it was yeah getting dark and so you're kind of scared we made it by the way what's going what's on colby sam nice to meet you wow this is beautiful whoa this is the 900 foot hole miners would come up and down in this cage it's almost like this like elevator but if you look right next to the cage hold the camera tight yes there you go oh it's freezing wow it's so cold it's so cold dude look how deep that goes dude i can't it is so deep look at this so far this cage this is what all the silver got pulled out of the mine with when we talked about like this building is why cerro gordo is what it is and this building is why l.a is what it is this cage is why this building is where it is you should name it nicholas he's done from now on this cage is nicolas this is the original engine that they used to get people up and down that whole thing back in the day was only 100 horsepower i think about today like 100 horsepower engine would be like you know be able to hold your hand he was responsible for like making sure the guys didn't go down too fast like he would sit here and look at that see that like dial so they're 200 feet down 400 feet down 500 feet down 700 feet down yeah i guess you better trust this dude right cause he's kind of right look at this i'm break dancing the door that we came through yeah it's actually open i don't know why i didn't open it today so what the crap is this crap bobcat wait so is there bobcats in these uh hills right now oh yeah yeah yeah in the mines yeah in the mines this is the zero level line back here what was it tofu is that just the wind it has to be [Music] that's a mine got some mine back there have you gone in that one a little bit back there it's collapsed a little bit so it's extraordinarily sketchy unsafe stay out to stay alive oh my god stay alive yeah like human blood handle with care what whoa wait that's a fridge wait with a container why would it be stored have you ever seen this i've never touched that bottle of no oh should i not have touched this this might have held human blood why would they have human blood in refrigerators they were like keeping blood here oh there's bats do you see that no i don't i don't see them flying oh they were just right there [Music] sam can you get it on camera i'm trying bro it was just right there you guys are super quiet yeah i don't know but what if you farted straight down the mine no logo but yeah so this is like a ghost town now abandoned or like what's what's going on here yeah for the past 100 years or so there hasn't been anybody any residents outside of like a lone caretaker or so the town had 500 different buildings there's 4 000 residents at its peak we got like 20 left you know wait so what happened to the 480 buildings oh god a lot of them have burned down over the years washed away in like you know flash floods or something like that isn't it kind of horrifying being up here by yourself you've been alone here for a while right yeah almost four months i came up here in mid march when you're here for that long things start to happen up here you know whoa whoa wait wait that too oh that did just go up no are you sure who has a lighter i got it because your nostril i would say when we moved into the town the town has a really rich history like i said there used to be a murder week here a lot of miners if they didn't die above ground they died died down in the mines below there's an infamous like duel that happened over a bad hand i guess and there's still a bolt hole in the wall and a blood stain on the floor from that so people were playing cards and then yeah they flipped the table i guess shot a guy murdered him in broad daylight billy crapo so billy crapo we had a little bit of an incident here oh i i saw something about that if you say like crapo like he haunts you yeah he doesn't like that yeah okay what was that you just said it i didn't read it no you just said it billy crapo uh doesn't like never like to be called crappo so if you say crapo he shoots you in the middle of the night well i'm just saying guys you've already said it like 15 times we're screwing up already what's going on dude it's getting so dark on the camera too oh oh oh [ __ ] wait it's so weird all the doors are closed though so what is it god it's like every time a light goes out the camera gets darker there's some like weird business stuff that used to go down and yeah there was a there's four brothels it's called lola's palace of pleasure it's not still open is it i don't know so how did they know that there was no more silver like how did they make that guess oh i think we're done here imagine like a giant block of silver and then they mined it and they just lost the vein and they couldn't find it again so they searched for a number of years and you dig this way you dig that way you try to find this vein and then they never found it there's still an additional 500 million dollars of the silver in the mountain and that the lost vein of silver is still there 30 miles of mine underneath the town there's somebody told me that there's enough wood in the mines to build the empire state building out of wood but it's cool for me it's almost like a scavenger hunt you know like i've never gone back into mine and not found something a pocket watch that a miner dropped years ago that's super cool or like a box of dynamite things to them that were garbage let's say like 150 year old dynamite that's crazy yeah yeah so if you're driving down the road and you saw a backpack on the side of the road would you turn around pick it up i so if i saw that that's a good question what if it was obviously a trash bag and see we have this experience on our way here you found you saw a backpack no it's a truck we thought it was an adidas bag so what's the coolest thing you found this letter of a miner right into another minor about like what he had found that day the human element of it made it close for me we haven't found jeans yet jeans are the blue gold of mines so they originally made jeans for silver miners so levi's first pair of jeans ever was in 1871 but you can find a pair of like original levi jeans they sell for a hundred thousand dollars up in auction you're saying if we find this amount of silver we'll get 20 bucks right if we find jeans it's gonna be over a hundred grand let's go pound for pound we're looking for jeans [Music] could you tell us a little bit about where we're staying tonight in the bunk house like i was saying there's a few hot spots so to speak as far as previous people have been saying here's experience of the paranormal the bunkhouse is a long hallway there's three rooms on either side six total rooms the back left room is the room that almost everybody that stays in there has some type of uncomfortable experience so there's like a dresser there and he said that his stuff that he had put on the dresser was in the dresser and he's a pretty sharp kid and so like i believed him and when i recounted that story to robert our caretaker he's like oh yeah it's the common mischief that they play in the bunk house and independently people that don't know each other have all reported seeing a very similar apparition when they've been in there yeah and then this one just blew out has that ever done that before oh god why are you standing down you want to help us go investigate some jeans later if you guys all stay on camera that i'm not responsible for your desks yes we will go search for we signed the waiver right we will go check out some mines say that again brent showed you what brent just showed me this crazy old body branches brent just showed me this crazy old bottle that was left here from the 1900s no way it's called this must be poison should we shotgun it [Laughter] did you notice wait foreign i saw in his videos before we came here that he has guns just in case well i think he's a nice guy but i mean he's kind of dope no bites this is cute so the fact that he let us just walk around and just roam free is awesome though this is a 150 year old rocking chair and he's letting us roam free that is awesome feels like an earthquake is this is this an iron ore is this silver yes that has to be dude so that's what we got to look for in the mines we got options where's the white claw man this literally is the town's general store that's crazy i'm just trying to imagine like i know i can't even imagine but matt like yeah people just strolling in here buying stuff yeah dressed up like well there was probably a bunch of miners here so probably like dirty like big like bearded dudes just come in here and drink some whiskey afterwards like getting a flying shoot each other after going to a brothel and yeah fighting over they weren't fighting fists they were fighting guns yeah instant death every time you say brothelman i think of soup fly to hawaii for 80 bucks we could go home for 80 bucks what dude that's covid prices dude look at that tiny little handgun old binoculars hydrogen peroxide who's trying to get [ __ ] up wait that's not lame so we just explored the general store pretty cool actually they had a lot of artifacts in there i think we should uh split up in pairs and you guys maybe explore the bunk house and we can like take if we get the bunk house i don't want to go there cory's not going to go there we'll take the bell shell house which is right there bunk house we can meet you there in a bit okay because we're sleeping there so come on down when you're ready hey see you losers we'll see you on the other side [ __ ] house rules team bunk house get out of your bunkers all of you guys [ __ ] you [ __ ] you yeah bunk you in the ass dude dude that'd be tight no it's not as tight as mine hey mine's gaping bruh this house is where he said he usually sits okay first of all that hat is hard that's a dope [ __ ] that is so hard whoa this doesn't look so bad you know except that there's no power and there's no one around to hear our screams other than that it seems nice oh okay oh that creepy hallway is definitely bad vibes this is right where brent if you remember brent saw someone standing in the window in this living room oh creepy creepy creepy how are we gonna sleep here dude nice library over here that's probably where he sleeps in that room right there i don't know how he does it man every night by himself this door is nailed shut it is why what and look they put glue on the bottom that does not make any sense are we gonna get murdered after you sir you got holy this sorry buddy we'll just walk back man didn't mean to bother you man there yeah yo what if you got on my shoulders and then you stuck the camera up there and like turned it to look through turn around kid okay you know what i was just thinking about what was that um he was talking about how the drawers the ghost would put the clothes and the drawers and out of the drawers oh yeah we haven't seen the drawers yet in here so you're right could it be my god dude that was so weird wait wait wait oh dude all right so this is the room that we're not staying we're making this oh my [ __ ] [Music] i'm i don't know if i got anything okay we're good you're good that was a bonding moment man we were so much closer now just because we did that what the [ __ ] dude you know what that looks like god that looks like a voodoo doll look at the face there's only dolls where there's dressers and there's only the ghost activity where there's dolls and dresses okay so see where eyes are looking yeah okay so move out of the way [Music] [Applause] wait are you come here come here come here look at the look look into the look into the camera if you were sleeping right there this doll is looking directly at the mattress oh my god okay okay so i swear to god man we're calling what hello corey dude corey did you see colin cory coming coleman holy [ __ ] corey wait wait call it wait wait no no my heart's pumping no no no no come over here come over here cory colby oh wait what the [ __ ] was that off camera was that them i don't have no idea like pawn or off camera my heart's pumping my heart's moving what the [ __ ] was that do you guys have any bacon cute [ __ ] that's not funny man go fart somewhere we do not know what we just went through you have no [ __ ] idea what happened you [ __ ] [ __ ] you that's a lot of beeps [ __ ] is weird in there so are we sleeping here tonight boys no yep no yeah so you'd rather sleep alone in the bellshot house do you want to sleep with brent and you want to sleep with us i want to sleep with brent your choice us or them i'll save a friend if cory gets to sleep with bro i get to sleep with brent too no see the house agrees you heard that i heard that now after that season three sam and colby were supposed to become treasure hunters and we still end up doing haunted [ __ ] before we read there was like actually just a hotel can we stay there instead of the bug house the hotel actually burned down uh a couple days ago a couple days yeah it um wait what like just now a couple days ago in between when you guys first contacted me and now [Music] i woke up around 3am so i thought was kids shooting out fireworks and i looked out and the whole hill was illuminated and i thought maybe somebody was you know flares just because my mind couldn't jump to the fact what was happening and as i got up my room i just saw like a 60-foot wall of flames and the whole hotel was on fire the fire department came in about an hour and a half but by that time it was completely gone not even any of the structure left just to the ground that's where the fire happened this used to be the crepo house here this is the little store where the antique sign out front so the view i used to give was walking up these stairs and i would pan up and see the top of the hotel and pan down and see it we're going to need a lot of help um we need people to help clean we need people to help try to rebuild it and we need money to do so i've never experienced like trauma like that where in real time the gravity of what was happening hit me meaning like i knew that the history was that was being lost will never be regained like if a if i had an apartment and it was burning down i would be able to be like you know what you can always rebuild an apartment but like you can never replace the history that was lost and you can replace the stories that were lost you literally see your hopes and dreams and wishes go up and like literally in flames in front of you and so that hour and a half before the fire department came felt like a century just because i was waiting the destruction of your dreams in real time and like slow delayed happening and it just it guts you man the reason hero gore was interesting the reason that we love this town is the history and we lost you know one of the most important pieces of history in the whole [Music] town [Music] horrible tragedy here in sierra gordo we just found out about but if you guys want to help support that that'd be awesome of you guys because we really want to help them rebuild this town because it's really [ __ ] awesome it means a lot to him too you can tell he loves this he's like a passion as we're talking about in our earlier interview with brent he might want to take us on some mining adventures tomorrow inside the mines we have a lot more exploring to do but it is one o'clock we got here way late because we stayed around metal detecting for absolutely goddamn nothing i mean dude we almost found a nail earlier we almost did find a nickel dude we found a coke that's pretty cool that actually pretty is you guys did cool yeah overall i feel like brent's a very very nice dude and i could see how like you could be wrapped up in this place you know i don't know even though it's like haunted it's nice and like this they don't know about this yet but there's goats here too yeah we'll show you them tomorrow guys this is literally the first goats town we've been to but we have a

talk with our audience since it is the same and cool [ __ ] it's the sound coach and i feel like we're back now dude it feels seasoned we haven't filmed for this channel like actually actively in seven months yeah it's been a long time so we really hope you guys enjoy this and best way you can let us know is by like we said leave a like or like comment down below if you like this idea we're going with like we'll keep doing stuff that like actually makes us genuinely happy like you're talking to jake and cory and i was like yeah hotels are cool haunted stuff is cool but the reason why we got into this is to explore [ __ ] awesome places like this that no one else gets to see how many people have gone to these mines or slept in these like cabins like hardly any hardly any besides like you know hundreds of years ago which is another crazy thing it kind of feels like we're taking a step back into time you know what i'm saying there's no power here there's no water here like no service we are like on our own nothing no bars and if we tried to even drive down right now we'd probably fall for [ __ ] cliff this is like completely out of our comfort zone even although we love these explorer videos like now i'm getting back to that like oh god the feeling explorer is like kind of difficult to film yeah i love it yeah 2017 vibes like i don't even know how we're gonna sleep tonight [Music] we are here to find your silver it's just weird that brent have said and once you're here like you don't know how to leave you'll be back do you guys also feel the same thing like i kind of stay here now you
