I recently visited the abandoned town of Two Guns, Arizona. It's an amazing place with the ruins of many stone buildings, though it has a dark history and many people believe it is cursed.
The curse is believed to have begun in the late 1800s, after a group of Apache warriors met a gruesome end in a hidden cave on the land. Navajo warriors, seeking retribution for brutal raids on their nearby settlements, tracked the Apache to the cave where they were hiding out. The Navajo lit a fire outside the cave entrance. Some of the Apache attempted to flee the cave and were immediately shot dead by the Navajo. The others remained inside and asphyxiated.
Later the town of Two Guns was built there. Over the years, Two Guns was the site of murders, devastating fires, and economic ruin.
Below are some pictures of what remains of Two Guns, as well as Apache Death Cave, and the abandoned KOA campground on the adjacent lot.
