Chapter 18: On the Road

One week later...

"Well, we're on our way to the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada...and I have to admit, I'm terrified."

I was sitting in the backseat, beside a sleeping Aaron, writing in a journal I had decided to start.

I thought it might be helpful for me to keep a record of my travels, experiences, and feelings as we filmed the show.

During the past week, if I wasn't spending time with Zak, I had re-watched the Goldfield episodes, as well as some other footage that never aired. I also had read up on the history of the hotel and the most prominent people whose spirits were said to haunt it.

The story that I, and the guys, had focused on the most, was the story of George Wingfield and a woman named Elizabeth.

Over a century ago, George Wingfield was the most powerful man in the town of Goldfield - and had been the owner of the hotel at the time - but he was also well hated. He had been married, but also had many girlfriends, including Elizabeth, who was a prostitute.

Elizabeth had ended up pregnant, and Goldfield had kept her hostage in room 109 of the Goldfield hotel. He had kept her chained up to a metal radiator in the room.

The stories vary on what happened to the baby when Elizabeth gave birth. Some stories said that Wingfield had the baby taken away from her and killed. Other stories suggest the baby had died naturally.

Elizabeth had died some time later. Again, there were varying stories as to how she died. Some stories say she starved to death, other stories say she was strangled.

In 2004, when Zak and Nick had filmed some of the original "Ghost Adventures Documentary" at the Goldfield Hotel, they had caught footage of a small ball of light moving along the edge of Zak's arm - almost as if the ball of light was stroking his arm.

In their previous visits since then, they've always brought a small tree or flowers to Elizabeth's room, as well as some stuffed animals, to pay their respects.

Upon doing so, they had gotten more evidence of Elizabeth making contact.

Zak had asked her to make one of the plants move, and Elizabeth had done so, but sadly, they had missed the opportunity to catch this movement on camera.

A little while later, however, as the guys were leaving the room, Elizabeth had used the Ovilus X device by picking the word "foliage", to warn them that she would move one of the plants again.

Sure enough, once the guys had hurried back to the room and made sure a camera was clearly filming all of the plants, a small branch of one of the flowers had moved, without any logical explanation.

I had to admit, I was slightly eager to try to communicate with Elizabeth. Despite her connection to Zak, I was hoping that maybe Elizabeth would share more information with a fellow female.

Suddenly, the ringtone of my phone, signalling a new text message, distracted me from my thoughts.

I picked up my cell from my lap and saw I had text from Cheryl.

"Where are you guys? I've texted Aaron a few times, but he hasn't answered."

I laughed quietly.

"Glad to see Aaron has become number one over your best friend. :P"

Cheryl quickly replied.
