Bodie, one hell of a ghost town!

BODIE! THE ULTIMATE GHOST TOWN!

Bodie is a state park so they made me stay on a leash, such a bummer! But it's one of the best preserved ghost towns around, in a state of arrested decay. Cat and I visit here alot since we live less than an hour away. And everytime we go, we find something new to explore. We've even found some artifacts, an old jar, an old zipper and a child's shoe! But even though Cat was tempted, she didnt take any of it home with her! Because of the BODIE CURSE!

drunken building? Supposedly, when someone takes home a souvenir of Bodie, say an old can, a piece of wood, whatever, then they get the curse. These people have bad luck until the item is returned.
There are numerous letters in the museum from tourists that did exactly that and then had HORRIBLE luck. They shipped the item back to the park to get rid of the curse. Now, I dont know if its true or not, it could just be the park service's way of keeping people from taking artifacts home! But come on, who needs help with bad luck, NOT ME! Good thing there's no curse involved with the squirrels, I'd be bummed!
