Tales From Death Valley
Christened by terrified prospectors who crossed its dune-pocked sands in search of California Gold in 1849, Death Valley would go on to set the Western Hemisphere's record for the highest recorded temperature 64 years later (134 degrees Fahrenheit at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913). This sun-baked depression, 282 feet below sea level on the wrong side of the Sierra Madre mountain range, has long exercised a fascination upon the human imagination.

"Tales From Death Valley" pays scorched tribute to this earthly Hades: dropping the viewer into the desert's parched depths via astonishing location footage, searing ghost stories and dramatized entries from the diaries of pioneer settlers and railroad workers who managed to penetrate some of the harshest terrain on Earth - and lived to tell the tale.

Weird Tales V: The Strange Case of Rhyolite, Nevada
A Ghost Town Mystery
Rhyolite was part of the Last Great American Gold Rush which took place in Nye County, Nevada from 1900 – 1910. And while there are plenty of ghost towns throughout the West, Rhyolite is different. Located in a remote corner of central Nevada on the edge of Death Valley this town was built to last. Its ruins are not those of rickety wood shacks but reinforced concrete. It was supposed to be the “Chicago” of the West and its very name, “Rhyolite” was taken from a rock found in abundance at the site. The rock was rosy and reddish in color reflecting the rosy, hopeful optimist of the people who lived there.

But in 1908 everything changed. That year began with the violent murder of a young girl, Mona Bell, whose life was cut short at age 20. It shook the town to its core and a series of events followed which would begin to spell the end of the good times in Rhyolite. A lonely grave on the edge of town far from the regular cemetery is said to be that of Mona Bell’s. It has become a tourist attraction and shrine and more mysteriously, has attracted an unusual group of followers. Who was Mona Bell? What happened to Rhyolite? And where did everything go? This is the Strange Case of Rhyolite, Nevada.

Weird Tales III: The Pioneer's Lost Trunk
Approx 65 minutes - In December of 1849 a group of optimistic and determined pioneers set out from the settlement at Salt Lake, Utah on their way to California. Some of them took a shortcut that got them "into the jaws of hell" as was predicted, leading them directly into the place they named "Death Valley." In December of 1998 an expedition set out to retrace the route of those lost pioneers. In a cave along the trail the team made an astounding discovery... It was one of the most extraordinary western artifacts ever found... or was it?
