Bodie Ghost Town 

My family went to Bodie when I was a little kid in the mid 60's......My dad and I explored all the old cabins before they were off limits.....Thanks for the Vid Sarah Jane....You're destined to be the next Huell Howser!

Glad you finally got to Bodie. My first trip there was 1955 and was a lot more open to explore, not a state park then. There was an old "Watchman' (that's what was hand painted on his Model A door), he packed a six gun and kept a pretty good eye on things. A movie was made in about 1932 there called Hell's Hero's show some of the town before big fire.

Thanks Wonder Hussy, very interesting old city and your tour was gteat

I haven't been there in forever. Thanks for the visit. Inspires me to take a road trip with the top down!

I love you Hussy! You remind me of myself rambling around the country in the 80's. June lake is a nice creepy spot. Bigfoot may say Hi! Thank you for taking me places I can no longer reach, prayers of love and safety & happiness to you, Lisa

I'm a pool table installer and that billiard table is worth $100,000+. The bottom is entirely cast iron. Amazing! I love your videos. Thank you for what you do. I live on the east coast and might start doing abandoned videos over here very soon. Stay safe!

Hey Hussy. I first went to Bodie in the mid 1960's ,it hasn't changed much. The town is pretty remote, and the State has done a really good job with allowing Bodie to just return to nature. Great tour!

Some of the old coffins had a glass window for viewing because it was to much work to take the lid off after it was nailed shut. And you did not smell the body that way.

Wow, that place got popular. I was there in the 80s and there were like 4-5 other cars.

Great job Sarah. Hope you had your hikers on! That was one massive old steam engine and boiler. I have never seen that configuration before. Happy trails.

Bodie is so cool! I wish you could go in the buildings but then people would tear things up, at least they could stand up the bottles on the bar. That pool table was awesome! I wonder how much it's worth? Great video, Thanks Wonderhussy!

I'm kinda late in watching this video, but I knew that if anyone would deliver the kind of exploration of Bodie that I like, it would be you Sarah, love your adventures and explorations, thanks darling, stay safe and blessed!

Now I don't have to go, always wanted to go, but I didn't know you couldn't go inside of anything. Thank you, I am so glad you made the video and did you know that supposedly, if you take even a rock from there you get bad luck!

Thanks for the video, we visited Bodie a few years ago as part of a two week road trip. We all thought it was pretty cool to explore

So many great adventures! Still waiting on my two favorites. Dunmovin abandoned cabins and cafe off Hwy 395. And Keough's hot ditch also along 395.

Good thing you didn't take anything from there. It's said taking anything from there brings bad luck. I watched a documentary about this town and the park employees said they get knick-knacks in the mail all tbe time. Items people took as a souvenir and reported all kinds crap happening to them. One employee stated he even dusts the dirt off the bottoms of his shoes before he goes home at night. Better safe than sorry...Good Vid 😁

I've been to this place! Near Yosemite on Nevada side of the state line. This place is awesome and takes more than a day to explore. Kickass ghost town💀

Enjoyed your video of BODIE California. I've been there twice before and it was still a very interesting place to go and see. Thank you for sharing.

Love that place, been there several times. Kind of makes me homesick. Thanks for the video.

You missed out. That mill is in incredible shape. It has 4 x 5 stamp mills in tact, shaker plates, mercury amalgamation plates, the 2 original electrical motors (they switched from steam), a lathe that will handle a 16' stock... that was used in the civil war in the south then shipped there by train and the final bunch of miles by oxen and wagon... it is a must see!!! The most intact mill I have seen out of approx. 100 or more ghost towns.

Very cool place to explore! That pool table was amazing!

The grave diggers place creeps her out but her skull and crossbones for ear rings do not!? Luv you Wonderhussy.

I have stopped by there a couple of times. I really liked it. Another awesome video.

Hello again from rural New Hampshire. I saw an amazing bio on Brodie on RU-vid. Yes they have park rangers that stay on site but it is pretty much closed down in the fall. For those planning a trip. There's a legend, if you take something from there bad luck will strike, you and anyone close to you. Peace and be safe.

glad to see you made it to Bodie. i first found out about it back in the early 80s when it was a dirt road to the town and the government didnt have control of it.

Bodie is an awesome place to visit. The spelling changed when the town hired a guy to paint the name of the town on a building or something and it just stuck. Keep up the good work. XMD

I first discovered Bodie in the early seventies before state control. no one around in those days and you could go anywhere you wanted to. now under state control, much of the magic is gone. It's still worth a visit. freedom lost.

That was cool. I haven't been watching your content that long but decided to search it for Bodie and bingo!! I lived in June lake in the late sixties so Bodie was a short trip and you could go in all the buildings and I worked with the last child born in Bodie. There is alot more in that area and south you might enjoy .

Nice video! I lived on Mono Lake as a kid I think around 1962, We used to go to Bodie but I don't think they had a guard then. You didn't show the meat store it had all the knives and butcher things remember full bottles of stuff still on the shelf's.

A wine gym would be cool. Ha ha. Very cool to see original stuff displayed here.

It's good that the houses are gated off. Too much stuff in their that too many would be too tempted to pilfer, and then nothing would be left.

Wow, That pool table is quite a piece of work 6:03

Hi hussy. Explore the grave yard at 🌅 sunset. Rumor has it that is haunted. I read that it's freakin spooky

They have to keep them locked because some people will mess them up. Only problem it screws things up for us. Interesting video I like places in the middle of no were. You can say they are a fun place to visit but it's too lonely a place to want to live. Keep them coming they are interested videos.

Cool totenkopf earings. Perfect for the mortuary.

It's amazing that no one has broken in to those buildings

Great video. Quality from what looks like your phone is quite good! TY

We visited Bodie about 25 years ago. I remember the morgue and the beauty shop. Seems it was more open and there was more there back then. Even then the mill closed.

What's up, WH? Yer one of my favorite exploration channels...I hope to meet you out on the road one day. Drinks on me. Keep up the great work!

Been over thirty years since I was through Bodie . I do remember the undertaker building. The place that you thought might be a kitchen was the assay lab where the chemist checked ore samples to determine the grade of ore that was being mined. They needed to know just how much gold and silver was being mined. If you go traveling next summer I would suggest paying a visit to Leadville . The National Mining Hall of Fame and museum is a must visit to get you aquatinted with the process of how the ore was mined from early day to present.

Mill used to not be closed off. Boo! Thanks for sharing!

the first time I went there you had to take a dirt road that wasn't in very good condition .the town it self hasn't changed that much ,you should go to Masonic it's close to Bodie .and the last I knew you could only get there by 4 wheel drive,you really find some interesting places keep up the good work

Bodie has such extreme weather it is amazing the buildings have withstood time. The old windows are quite reflective and hint at high lead content. I have been there three times, all summer and two times hit with monsoonal downpours and had to take shelter. I am headed back there in two weeks to take 8K video and HD photos. A professional photographer friend has tours of Bodie and has night time access and opened doors on buildings. YIKES! LOL

if you want to actually explore some of the mines in the area follow the Dirt Road East words and it will take you into an area where you can do so out of the park slim it's also abandoned building if you can find it

..... Like your smile..... Love your style......!!

Wow nice to see inside the cabins a lot of cool stuff there , thanx for charring again 😊👍

WH, looking forward to the video. I prefer to watch them late at night with a glass of wine. Bodie is one of the coolest places, glad you did a video about it.

Awesome.thanks again Sara

Hey WH. Just dropping by to say hello, you are awesome. :)

Very cool video. Very enjoyable!

An interesting, large, well preserved abandoned mining town. Can't believe the number of tourists there. Too bad that everything is closed up and well secured. I believe that if this ghost town was in Nevada things would be looser with better access, what do you think, Sarah? The video and audio are good - I saw by reflection that you are using your smart phone, sorry your go pros are not working, Damn If I had the bux I'd buy you a new one, but I live in the big D ghost town and well... you know. All in all this was a good quickie! BTW, I thought your comments around the church were discreet. You don't want to get demonetized - can't be too careful with yt these days...

Sorry for the video bomb at 1:50 :) I just looked up and was like "hey, it's wonder hussy" Great video as always

another great video!

Loved my visit!

That place is awesome. Would be fun to do some ghost hunting in those buildings.

I've been to bodie it's a really rad historical ghost town with alot to see along with the surrounding petroglyphs rock on space woman👌👌👌👌👌

Another great video Wonderhussy, enjoyed it. Loved your "oooh" puckered lips . Be safe Wonderhussy!

Hello Sarah Jane, many years ago a buddy of mine took home some sort of relic from Bodie, CA and severely regretted doing so due to the nightmares he experienced as he claims was caused by the artifact.. I can relate to this because it happened to me when I was around 11 yrs old after taking something from a drawer of an antique cabinet inside an old pre =WW2 mansion in the Philippines... it had Japanese characters on it. Anyway thanks again for another excellent video...take care.

I been their with my family In the 1980's love that trip

That's probably a child's coffin, Sarah. (Not just because they were short.) Magnificent houses were common then for "funeral parlors" as only after the Civil War - did humans begin to consign burials. BEFORE it was TOTALLY a family matter/ and Private.

looks like a good place to do some metal detecting around some of the old home sites.

6:44 looks like an Assay Office (scales and ceramic crucibles) :)

one of my fav. sayings "Yiiikes" too funny

back in the 80 s we were there in late oct. snow was flying nobody was there ,all the bldg.were open to tour, with fences separating some of the rooms where folks would through in money like a wishing well, well we went into one of the homes where the lil rug rats found a opening in one of the fences in the bldg. filling there pockets.. haha.. we did make them put it back.. lil shits.. great vid. w/h ...happy trails... `

Great fan of your channel, excited when seeing a new post, do find the video's to short haha, Why dont you get a Drone to get a birds eye view of a town or buildings, just an idea :-)

ill be going to explore an old gold mine i found while 4 wheeling in oregon... hope there arent any ghosts inside,,..

Bodie is wonderful... Next time you go back, go to the cemetery. But first, read up on Rosa May...

Is it: "Good Bye God, I'm Going to Bodie." Or "Good! By God I'm going to Bodie!"

They can't worry about people falling down old shafts or rusted metal whtevety. I'm glad it's preserved. Some things need to be. You should know after you have seen so much vandalism

Good tour thanks .

Wonderhussy some time when you get a chance. you should check out the rolling rocks in Death Valley. i went there in the 60,s with my family. i thought it was pretty cool. i am not sure if anybody has found out how or why they move. they leave a trail behind them when they move.

I had an idea for a gym/bar, I was going to call it "Punch Drunk."

Sucks it became a tourist trap that's so crowded. I went there about 20 years ago in winter and was the only person there. It was way cool to walk around on that trip but it was snowy and muddy.

Gosh your sunglasses are huge !

And u can stay at the keough hot springs in bishop in one of thier 2 bedroom moble home that sleeps 6 i stayed in 2015 for my bday they also have at the hot springs rv spots and tent spots its AWESOME hot springs very healing !!! Iam might go back again for my bday this year in june

U2 did a photo shoot there during the Joshua Tree tour.

Aloha you made me laugh at the coffin, saying that was a hole to put the bodies! I think it woul have been a viewing porthole? don't know if I'm right?

The wagon with the suspension is called a buckboard.

The room with newspaper- had a Howard and Sons chair. Value 5000.00 and up!!!!!!! More for its history!!!! That town will CURSE you if you TAKE anything!! People have taken, cursed bad luck, returned objects and bad luck streak ends.......

huell howser did a good episode on this on his early shows.looks cool over there.

If remember correctly the road in front of the mill ran for a mile with buildings on both sides. Oh if the ruins could only speak.

my husband and I just got back from Helldorado Days in Tombstone have you been there yet so cool..dee

Yikers man thats cool !

Jesus Christ Hussy. I fucking love you.

gold and 60 saloons...prob had some awesome business ladies

I love Bodie. Just don't take anything home. The ghosts will torment you until you bring back the taken item.

I told ya you would love it :)

Outside my gym they have a pub and a doctors next to that lol . if this is tourist trap you'd think they would help preserve it more . or dust up lol .

👏 bravo

That place is cool

wonderfull huss my favorite trollop. best hussy i every knowed of

I need to visit this place

I can tell you the fire was an accident from children smoking. The fire started behind the delivery stable.

I waited all week for this and you give me 10 min?????!???!!?!

Bodie had bad reputation when it was a town. There's a story that when a young girl was told be her parents they were moving there she wrote a note to God. It said "good bye God, were moving to Bodie."

A great iVideo. 2rangers live there most of the year. They have to use there snow Mobil’s to get supply’s in and out

I would love to be a park ranger! Ride around on my horse named "Sparky" and do park ranger type stuff! Sparky, we're a headin' west...we got work ta do...🐴

sixty saloons! you would have loved that place in its day. you sure like to poke around. Is that better than being poked??

Went back just to see from a 2020 vid you posted-

Town names got altered to meet Post office regulations, if there was a similar name on file it was rejected and then resubmitted
