~# The Scariest Place in the West #~

The Robb Canyon Story
In the early 1970's the mutilated bodies of a woman and 3 men were unearthed in this, at the time, remote high desert canyon in west Reno. To this day, the murders have not been
solved, and several visiting psychics feel the dead may be attempting to engage the living to solve their gruesome murders.Currently the canyon sits below a city park, and the mesa-top high above is speckled with houses. Over the years, residents have reported seeing strange lights and hearing very disturbing sounds, including a bloodcurdling scream, that "you will never forget for the rest of your life" echoing up the canyon. Although many long time residents of the area are reluctant to talk about what they have experienced, it is hard to not find someone without a personal account of paranormal activity. Although many other west Reno parks are crowded in summer evenings; you will never see any one in here after sunset.

Reportedly, both the Reno Police Department and Washoe County Sheriff's office no longer respond to calls to investigate the disturbances in the canyon, and oftenly say "just close your window and stay out of that canyon at night".
When paranormal investigators enter the canyon, they are hit with an immediate and overwhelming feeling of dread and fear, causing many "premature" endings to their investigations.

In a narrower part of the canyon up stream from the bridge, Shadow Men have appeared to both Investigators and fixed infrared cameras. The phenomena seem
to center around the large dead tree next to the creek. Many reports of a horrible and prolonged scream emulate from this general area.This is also the area that "cold spots" are usually reported and physical contact felt. EVP recordings made here have produced low level "chant-like" whisperings.In a terrifing session in the fall of 2005, Mike Blankenship, an Investigator from Kansas was knocked to the ground here and held down for a few seconds by an unseen and unrecorded force.



Investigations

White Mist and Vertigo

Thanks for the help on Saturday night! I can't believe I forgot my recorder!

We had a pretty good investigation, spotting what appears to be a Shadow Man down by the Boulder at the bend south of the bridge. I also think I heard the chopping sound, although the reporter didn't pick anything up. Strange.

We took a lot of full spectrum photographs, and there appears to be some sort of white-ish mist near the tree, but we want to take a look at it back in Phoenix. Have you ever seen anything or heard of anyone reporting this?

Our newest member reported feeling severe vertigo upon arriving in the canyon, and we think even threw up, but he won't tell us. Of course that may have had something to do with the mai tais on Friday night!

Talk to you soon,
Pete P.
