Mystery at Chalk Creek 8-17-09 |
|
Written by Neale Shour

|
NBC's Dateline will be airing a mystery that took place in the Chalk Creek Canyon some years ago. This excerpt from their website....
It was a story that seemed to tell itself: the body of a woman, found in a creek below a slippery ledge in a place where hikers have fatal accidents all too often. She was a newlywed who'd just found love again after a painful divorce. A tragic accident, her family thought -- at first. But after her funeral, suspicions emerged: Was this really an accidental fall? Or could it have been something else?
What began as an afternoon fishing trip would later become a hunt to learn the truth of what happened that day. NBC's Dennis Murphy reports on "The Mystery at Chalk Creek."
The program was aired on 8/17/09 and can be viewed online at...

A Ghost Story, a Cemetery and a Mudslide |
|
Written by Mark Hanway
|

Earlier this year my mom gave me the great news that she was able to rent out the cabin (The Silver Phantom Ranch) my grandparents used to co-own for two whole weeks in July! I was ecstatic this was the place that Amy heard about for the last 17 years and my family was finally going to see what all the fuss was about. About a month ago the lady that now owns the Silver Phantom Ranch is having serious health issues and had to cancel our reservation. We found another place down the road and we going to be able to spend a week instead of two. Things were still great.
