Background: Several times over the years voices have been heard from the headframe/shaft area of the Silver King Mine
Investigative Notes: Several voices seemed to come from the old mine shaft. The K2 EMF Meters were activated for several minutes. It appeared that 10 entities from the 1880s and early 1900s were present in the shaft. Voice recordings were made also.
Silver King Hotel site: Fales O’Boyle Feud & Shootout
Background: Billy O’Boyle was the proprietor at a well-appointed hotel and restaurant at Silver King. In his eating-place O’Boyle had as one of his waitresses a young and good-looking Irish girl, of whom he thought a great deal; in fact O’Boyle was extremely jealous of any attentions paid by other men to the attractive waitress.
A frequent visitor to Silver King was Ned Fales, a cowboy. Ned Fales was a colorful cowboy, typical of the sort that is frequently found in sensational wild- west stories. He was handsome and educated and, despite the fact that he made it a common practice to ride into a saloon on horseback and shoot out the lights, he was a favorite among the women of the little town of Silver King, as well as among those living in the nearby town of Pinal. The pretty Irish girl (Katie) in O’Boyle’s restaurant held a high place in the esteem of the cowboy and the fact that she apparently thought very well of him may have had something to do with the animosity that that gradually came to exist between Fales and O’Boyle. At any rate, harsh words were exchanged.
