Bodie State Historic Park

Bridgeport

Ghost Town Extreme Activity

History & Paranormal Activity

The best-preserved ghost town in the American West, Bodie peaked at 10,000 residents in 1879 and is now a state park frozen in time. Rangers and visitors report apparitions throughout — a Chinese man near the stamp mill, a woman in the Cain House, children at the schoolhouse. Visitors who take objects from the site report a pattern of bad luck they attribute to the 'Bodie Curse,' with letters returning pilfered items arriving at the park weekly.

🔒 Classified Field Investigation Notes

The park's 'curse letters' file — hundreds of letters from people returning stolen items — contains three letters describing paranormal experiences so specific that rangers have been unable to determine how the writers knew details of the town that are not in any published account.
