Slaughterhouse Canyon – Kingman, AZ

Kingman, Arizona was a hub during the gold rush of the 1800s. Many families moved out to the desert in an attempt to find some gold and to profit. The patriarch of one family ended up going missing, leaving his family to completely fend for themselves. They ended up starving and going insane. Locals say that the mother, in a crazed stupor, put on her wedding dress and murdered their children with an ax. The cabin that they lived in still stands.
