The Mystery Shack
at Goldfield
By Phil Rauso, Jr. ©

 The
Mystery Shack - located in Goldfield, Arizona is well
known for its rich gold mines and legends of mystery
within the Superstition Mountains. Millions of tons of
gold ore were mined from this area back in 1893, but one
section of this mining town was quickly closed down in
1894 after miners complained of abnormal and haunting
events.
In 2009 an old miner’s house was restored and
unknowingly moved to this section of dirt within
Goldfield Ghost Town. This miner’s house, after more
than 100 years, still generates a vortex that defies
gravity and has been renamed by local residents The
Mystery Shack.
 People
walk at 45 degree angles, water runs from faucets
without being connected to pipes, the ghostly pool-table
refuses to let you hit the balls straight and always
seem to go into the same pocket, objects hang from the
ceiling at 45 degree angles and no matter how hard you
push them back, they will always swing back to their
ghostly, slanted position.
 Sitting in one of the chairs located in the Mystery
Shack is easy but trying to get up from it is almost
impossible. There is also a ten-pound iron ball that
rolls uphill along the walls, and upon exiting the
Mystery Shack you will have to pass over the 1,500 ft
mineshaft that creates the gravity defying anomalies.
Will you be able to make it through the Mystery Shack
while being subject to these forces? Well, you can visit
this spot year round at Goldfield Ghost Town and
experience first hand the ghostly forces of nature that
still come from under the 1,500 ft mineshaft the Mystery
Shack was built on.
Goldfield Ghost Town is located 4.5 miles N/E of Apache
Junction, Arizona on the Historic Apache Trail – State
