Kelly Ghost Town & Mine

April 30th, 2010 by John Wolfe

After taking a ton of photos and video, I somehow managed to whittle my collection down to a ten minute film. It was hard to do because the old Kelly ghost town has really grown on me and I would have loved to have made a longer vid, but I think ten minutes is enough to capture the essence of the location. I hope you enjoy the way I’ve arranged it. Also, Dr. Necropolis and ssflipo13 were asking if I had any paranormal experiences while visiting. I did have an interesting encounter (unfortunately, it wasn’t caught on film) that I was going to write about in this entry, but I’ve decided to save that for tomorrow’s post.

Since this footage isn’t in HD quality, I’ve also uploaded the film to Season of Shadows and added a link so it can be played on your computer’s media player. The vid contains several scans of very old photos taken during Kelly’s heyday and the quality will probably be less than favorable when viewed on You Tube’s embedded player.

Day Trip: Old Kelly Mine

April 27th, 2010 by John Wolfe

I spent the entire day yesterday taking photos, shooting video and doing a little communicating with the “other side” at the old Kelly, New Mexico ghost town (established around 1883). This was my third trip to Kelly in the last three years and probably one of my most memorable. I grabbed a good bit of footage of the mine’s external structure, the town cemetery, and a couple of dilapidated old buildings, and I’ll be working on turning it all into a video entry over the next couple of days. The shot accompanying this post features the headframe above the mine shaft (click on the image to see a larger pic).
