Red Onion Saloon, Skagway, Alaska

Established in 1898 as a brothel for miners during the Klondike Gold Rush, Alaska's Red Onion Saloon had a feature that set it apart from other bordellos: It used dolls to help run its business. (Always a good sign.)

Every day, 10 dolls would be placed on the bar downstairs, each one representing one of the ladies working in the upstairs rooms. A customer would choose one of the dolls, at which point it was laid down on the bar to indicate that particular worker was occupied. When the customer came back downstairs, the doll would be returned to her sitting position to let other potential clients know she was available.

Fast-forward to 2019, when the Red Onion Saloon still operates as a bar and restaurant (yep, the dolls are still on display), and offers tours of the upstairs rooms, which are preserved as a sort of makeshift brothel museum.

As if licentious dolls weren't creepy enough, there are reports of Lydia—a former madam of the brothel—haunting the site, complete with cold spots and lingering smells of perfume wafting through the halls.

Apatite Properties:

If you’re like most people, you’re probably juggling life’s daily demands with a slew of pesky thoughts clouding up your judgment. From neurotic to confused and everything in between, these harmful thought patterns are not your friends but the roadblocks holding back from your true potential. To keep these thoughts from mucking up your aura, simply gaze at the stone, a practice that borrows from the Zen tradition and encourages peaceful contemplation.

This is also an excellent time to take stock of your current mind-body-spirit status. Like hot chocolate for the soul, use Apatite crystal healing to warm up the chakras by placing a stone over the chest or the breastbone (thymus chakra). If you’re in the mood to break on through to the other side, place a stone over the third-eye chakra in between the eyebrows and get ready for a magic carpet ride into an expanded spiritual dimension.

Hold tight to Apatite and remember that what you feed your mind determines your appetite for life.

Arizona – Tony Ranch, Superior

In 1913 William Toney built this log cabin and homesteaded 78 acres of the surrounding canyon floor.

Toney, his wife Ella, and their 7 children called this remote area home.

Female visitors sometimes report a sudden shortness of breath when in the vicinity of the cabin.

Pinches on the back of the arms are also reported.

Some believe it’s due to the spirit of William’s jealous wife Ella who haunts the area.
