The little old lady that showed the GA crew The Goldfield


I'm sure that long-term viewers recall the little white-haired lady who showed the GA crew around the Goldfield Hotel, pointing out rooms and places where she and others had experienced paranormal events when she showed the property to other groups. She didn't live far from the Goldfield; when the crew saw the owner in another show and asked if they could revisit the hotel, which he agreed to. Again they went to visit the lady; I noticed that this time she had a bruise or mark on her face.

Around this time, Zak asked her if any "spirits" had come to her home, since she lived fairly close and in a direct line with the property. She admitted that the spirits did come to her home, and had, at times, attacked her.

I thought she was fascinating; I know she seemed to feel some sort of connection to a female who reportedly had been killed into the hotel, chained to a post or heater or something. She encouraged the guys to be respectful to this female spirit, and spoke out loud to her often, in very sweet/respectful tones of voice.

However. The first time she showed the crew around the hotel, she did not hesitate to point out the room -- and possible area right outside of it -- in which she said that many researchers claimed outright was a "portal to hell." She warned them about the room.

She also mentioned being picked up completely off her feet and slammed into a wall. This lady looked to be in her 70's, at very least, if not older. Not the type of person who should be dealing with situations where she gets smacked around and slammed into walls.

Two things concerned me about this lady. While she claimed she didn't want any more attacks, she made a remark that that she'd shown research groups around before, and at the 2nd visit, even though she'd been attacked again, she made reference to showing someone else around Goldfield. (Honestly, did she expect the activity to stop even though she lived so near the place, and kept giving tours?!)

Secondly, there was a marked difference between her attitude from her first appearance to her second appearance on the show.

I don't know how many times the GA crew has been to Goldfield (I know that once the EVP couple Mark and Debbie went to the location without the crew, when they got that clear-as-a-bell EVP; they asked someone to move a brick again or do something similar and got the EVP "Thank you very much but we've already done that." And they wound up in a horrible end, as Mark reportedly killed Debbie before being surrounded by police and shooting himself to death.)

The point I was getting to was this: I don't recall them showing the little old lady anymore. I was wondering if something happened to her, if she moved away, or what was up with her. In the second show she seemed concerned, if not scared. And whether there's a 'ghost' in there is sort of beside the point. Spirits of deceased humans have far more difficulty appearing, much less leaving cryptic, incomplete EVP's; I think it rather obvious that the property was infested. The flying brick -- which included boards which also levitated at the same time -- is more indicative of demonic activity. Did anyone ever hear what happened to the old lady after that? I hope she was smart enough to have gotten some help, as she did look as though she was in some beginning stage of entanglement.

Even the fact she felt 'motherly' or whatever toward the supposedly abused female spirit: If you study enough shows about people who get tied up with demonic-infested properties -- not ghosts, but specifically demonic, you may have noticed that frequently the owners say things like 'I felt the property was lonely and/or wanted us there' ... they often get a 'strong feeling that they are meant to take care of a property or renovate it', then after they're financially stuck with it, all the nasty starts showing itself.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone heard the crew mention anything more about the lady who'd been so helpful and nice to them.
