I'm glad to see you have my tales of Mina still up on your ghost site. Truth is still stranger than fiction. On my first night in Mina a deadly desert tarantula crawled up thru a hole in the porch to greet us in our living room! I cooked on a wood stove & we ate by Coleman lantern light & I can tell you it was fun in those days - ''way out west'' in Mina 70's style.

Not too far from Mina is the Ichthyosaur Exhibit in Berlin, Nevada. This is a fun outing for the family! We visited there & found that this surrounding area was underwater a long prehistoric time ago. If you try really hard or are just plain lucky, you might pick up a fossil out there. The one I came into possession of resembled a ''sow bug'' that little kids find & roll up into a ball. Just a simple fossil but a million years old. These treasures can still be found by adventurous souls who travel into the Nevada desert near Mina. submitted by Vicky, 70's Mina resident.

Ghost Tales of Mina ?2: Another time in Mina in the early 1970's a very nice Latin lady moved to Mina with her husband & 3 kids. They bought an old hotel building with the idea of fixing it up and getting ready to operate a small business.They thought maybe of a cafe too. But she changed her mind after a few weeks. When she spent a few nights there in the building which was like a few stories high, there were sounds like someone was walking up & down the stairs, opening & closing doors. There was definitely a ghost there & she thought about getting a professional ''ghost hunter'' to come down to Mina & get that ghost to leave. But it seemed like nothing else was done about it. They asked me if I wanted to help but I said, ''Noooo thanks... See Ya, .

Around the Mina area on a late night in 1974, I wandered away from
|
a small group of ''ghost town explorers''. Maybe I was 50 ft. away from anybody. It was a very dark night. I felt calm & I thought,''nothing scary around here.'' But, just then a strong cold wind blew up from absolutely nowhere & hit me righ in my face. OK! That was enough for me! I jumped off the pickup truck & ran back to my husband . He thought the incident was extremely funny. But I'll pass this along. '' Don't tempt them ghosts.'' They ARE out there in Mina... See Ya.
