Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation about haunted Cochise County, a new book by author Francine Powers.

Southeastern Arizona is haunted by its violent past. Some of the most notorious characters in American history once called Cochise County Home. It's probably best known for the gunfight at the

O'K Corral, and you can pay your respects to those who died that day at the Boothill Cemetery.

In fact, in this episode, we're going to talk about some of those people who died that day and the

hauntings at Boothill Cemetery. I'm Carol Hughes, and on this episode of The Grave Talks, we'll discuss those stories

and more from the book Haunted Cochise County with author and paranormal historian Francine

Powers.

And there's another story that you have in the book about Abisbee Fireman?

Yes, and that is Fire Station number two.

And that's up Tombstone Canyon.

And they call it Tombstone Canyon because that road leads to Tombstone.

So that's just a little trivia there.

The Fire Station is about a mile from my childhood home.

So I would, you know, pass it every day going to school because I went

at Lincoln School, Lincoln Elementary School. So I grew up going on field trips. My friend's dad was a

fireman and he actually just retired. And then I went to high school or school with some of the

firemen and they're there and they're about ready to retire.

Back in 2008, 2009, I had a best friend who was married to the captain.

So I have a lot of ties with the fire station there.

He knew that, you know, I wrote about ghosts. I was interesting ghosts and stuff.

And he said that there, well, there is a ghost in our fire station. After going through the city

and the fire chiefs, and so we were able to do a ghost hunt. And I interviewed some of the retired men.
