CADAVER, NEVADA
BACK THEN…
Years past, at the time of cowboys and
Indians, a fellow named Billy Blaze came across
an area of Nevada, that was constantly covered in
a smell so terrible the area was called Cadaver.
You see, Billy was the son of a mortician and
had spent his childhood surrounded by that
smell, it was no big deal to him. When he asked
about Cadaver to people in the nearby village,
they told him, no one had ever bothered to find
out what the source of the smell was…
Lover of adventures, Billy went back to
Cadaver that same day.
The area was completely deserted other than a
large mountain. They called it Mount Cadaver.
Billy went there and found a cave, with an
entrance not taller than 7 feet.
The cave intrigued him. No ray of light went
in, even when the sun was shining up in the sky
pointing at the cave, it seemed, the sunlight was
too scared to enter. Why didn’t Billy enter the
cave alone? No one knows till this day...
We know for sure that Billy ran back to town
and spoke about this cave to the people. They
were as intrigued as he was.
‘Take us there! Take us there!’
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
A handful of men followed Billy back but, as
soon as they inhaled the air of Cadaver, they
backed off, some puked.
Billy didn’t give up. The next months were
spent looking for someone who’d sponsor his
excursion. A man called Austin Boone sent him a
letter one day.
“Dear Mr Blaze,
I am intrigued by the place you described and
would very much like to lend a hand as much as
you require for an excursion inside the cave, at
one condition...
Anything you find inside the cave is my
property.”
Just a month after, Billy stood in front of the
cave. Two men from out of state had volunteered
to join, they too didn’t mind the smell, which,
Billy noticed, would get stronger when you were
close to the cave.
News outlets at the time had sent their
photographers to take black and white pictures of
the men. Most of them wore multiple bandanas
around their noses and mouths, in hopes, it
would keep the stench away - it didn’t work.
Billy and the two men were dressed formally,
with black suits and tall hats.
They entered the cave with smiles. Neither of
them was ever seen alive again.
In fact, no one remembered them at all.
Mr Boone found it strange that he couldn’t
remember whom he had given money to for an
expedition in the cave.
He did remember that the cave was a place of
intrigue and mystery, so he turned Cadaver into a
tourist attraction. For a fee, men and women
could enter the cave and find out the source of
the smell.
Slowly a little town developed around the
tourist attraction.
Although, owners of the shops, bars and
amenities which sprouted in town saw the money
come in, but they never remembered the faces or
the names of those who handed them the money.
It seemed as though they made their
livelihoods from ghosts...
