Ghost Town (Golden) Investigation 2
History
Golden Community Church
Golden was Established in 1890, this mining town was unique in Western Annals in that it had two chuches
and no saloons. The miners went to Placer on Grave Creek for 'refreshments'.
Rev. William Ruble, leader of a group commonly known as "Campbellites" built the church in 1892. He
was ordained and the church simultaneously dedicated by county Judge Stephen Jewell. Shortly afterward
it became the Free Methodist Church. Another group led by Rev. Mark Davis used the schoolhouse for
their services. Both ministers worked local mining claims.
Placer activity on Coyote Creek began in the 1850's. Abandoning these claims during the Idaho Gold Rush of
1860, the men returned to find them being worked by about five hundred Chinese for ten cents a day plus rice.
The Chinese contractor yielded possession.
A two and one-half mile pipeline supplied water for the 'giants' (hydraulic nozzles) resulting in the recovery
of one and one-half million dollars (in gold) in the next few years.
The Josephine County School Superintendent, Lincoln Savage, traveled by train from Grants Pass to Wolf
Creek, rode his bicycle to Golden, and continued to the Greenback Mine by Tramway to visit the schools.
Wilma Gilkey and Edith Allen were among the early teachers. As late as 1906, there were still thirty-six children in this school.

Investigators: Oliver, Duwayne, Denise, David, Val & Ben
Day 1 & 2
We started the investigation at 7:00 pm and split the investigators in 3 teams. First team was investigating at the Golden Community Church, second team was investigating at the Bennett Store while third team was investigating at the old Ruble residence. Durning the investigation we place 3 digital recorders around Golden, first one in the church, second one by the store and third one by the old barn. Around 9:00pm we head back to command central for break. Durning the break we had the K2 meter still on at that moment Oliver the Director of P.R.E.Y. notices the K2 started to lit up and then it stop. It lit up several times before we started asking questions. We put a EMF meter by the K2 and ask the spirits to ask yes and no questions with the EMF meter, one blink for no and two blinks for yes. We ask the spirits many questions like "how many of you are here right now" the EMF meter started blinking 27 times. See Video Below. As the investigation went on we took many photos with the IR Camera, Full Spectrum Camera & Digital Camera. Everything start to quite down so we ended the day 1 investigation with some great results.
