OLD GUN SLINGERS HAUNTING AMTRAK? SOME SAY A NASTY SPIRIT DOESN'T LIKE VISITORS



Wyatt Earp
A current Amtrak station nestled in the town of Tucson, Arizona, was once the scene of a western shoot-out back in 1882, when Wyatt Earp shot Frank Stillwell dead.  Stillwell, along with Ike Clanton, hid and waited at the depot.  Their plans?  To ambush the Earp clan while they accompanied Morgan Earp (the younger brother) on his way back to California for burial.  Instead, Stillwell was the one to meet with his end, as Wyatt shot him point-blank beneath his ribs.  Bystanders heard shots fired.  Several hours later Stillwell's body was found riddled with bullets.

Today, Frank Stillwell is one of the more prominent ghosts thought to inhabit the railway station.  Along with the sound of gun-fire captured on EVP devices by various ghost hunting groups, Stillwell's apparition has been seen wandering near the depot's platform.

Security personal have witnessed many strange occurrences, including the ethereal screams of a woman in distress and the translucent image of a tattered man.  A waiter has also reported wine bottles that rise of their own accord, only to shatter as they fall onto the tile floors.  So why is this depot in Arizona so ghost inhabited???  Is it Frank Stillwell reeking havoc for being double-crossed in his plan of murder, or is this still the territory of the Earp's clan still "watching their backs"?
