End of the Rainbow

The sign on the side of the road reads Warning Toxic Area, Keep Out. Well I know the truth it wasn’t a toxic spill or a out of control disease here in this place or anything else you mite consider. The reason goes back to 19,48 when a Train traveling from New Mexico to Sedona, Arizona caring a Traveler by the name of Simon, Dee Macula transported his special cargo to our peaceful little place. The cargo a suit case containing several Golden amulets from ancient Egypt . The Amulets were stolen from a museum in Cairo, Egypt but were originally found by Howard, Carter in the Valley of the Kings located around stone statues in King Tuts Chamber. The Amulets are said to hold a curse to be unleashed on anyone that possess them. When Simon reached Sedona he befriended Mr. Whitelaw owner of the Whitelaw Ranch and stayed in a guest House. That night Robert, Fairchild visited the Whitelaw residence and after drinking several alcoholic drinks with John, Whitelaw decided to pay Simon a visit in the Guest House. For what ever reason Simon told Robert about the Amulets and that he had to take them to California to be close to a Museum exhibit in San Diego.

Robert, Fairchild stumbled his way back to town and into a busy Pub for some drinks then told several Town Folks what he learned out on the Whitelaw Ranch. After some heavy drinking nine of the Bar Patrons including a Town Sheriff decided to pay Simon a visit to see the priceless artifacts. Along the way it was decided that they were going to steal the suit case of Amulets and test the curse. Simon kept the suit case hand cuffed to his wrist at all times but was removed by Ted the Town Sheriff at gun point. Simon screamed out do not put on the Amulets what ever you do or you will die. He then charged the Sheriff in a last attempt to retrieve the Amulets but was shot right between the eyes, the look on his face as he fell was complete desperation. The nine decided to head for an old abandoned shack on the south east corner on the Ranch that was used by Ranch Hands at one time.

The next morning four of the nine bar patrons made it back to town hung over and stumbling through town as if nothing was out of the normal. When they were taken in for questioning they told three different stories of what happened to the Traveler the Sheriff and the other four. Believed by a Psychologist because of the trauma they seemed to endure and a lack of evidence they were never arrested. The disappearance remained a mystery for some ten years until David E. Miller one of original nine was arrested robbing a grave in a local cemetery. While David was incarcerated in a Sedona Jail he wrote in a small diary day and night about what happened that summer night. Then in 19,58 July 22 coincidently the same day in 19,48 when the Train came to town with the Traveler he died in his cell.

After all David’s Family was contacted only his Sister Edith decided to go pick up his belongings. A few days later a story was published in the local News Paper about the disappearance. It stated that when the nine got to the Ranch they saw many strange things like burning eyes in the bushes and growling animals that seemed very disturbed. The Traveler was buried near the small shack in a shallow grave. Then the nine passed around a Whiskey bottle a few times and the suit case was opened. The Gold Amulets shined in the night like a camp fire as if to warn a hello. Then they split up the Amulets and when they did five of the nine at the same time put on the Amulets. The Amulets glowed an ere green and hummed a like the sound of energy. It said all of them were temporary blinded by the light. The ground opened up into a hole, the bottom a glow of fire and the sound of thousands of people screaming in terrible agony in the distance. The five with the Amulets started floating around the fire several times then fell heads towards the hole feet outward. Then they all gasped for their last breath of air and died. Soon the spirits of the bodies appeared and had fangs like the Wolf and used telekinesis to float things around and attack us.

Later they went back to the Ranch and the body’s and all the Amulets were gone including the hole in the ground. But they could feel something evil lurking everywhere. The Whitelaw Family was asked if they noticed anything strange but they said no. From that time until now very strange occurrences have taken place like items move from here and there. Many camera pictures of visitors show another place all together, Cow mutilations and freezing cold wind sheers. Today this place has an electric fence around it and is protected by the U.S. Government as it was purchased from the Whitelaw’s many years ago.


All of the Names have been changed and Maps were changed but sometimes you can see the story on the History Channel, they use the real names, I assumed I better not.
