I never met her, or my great grandfather or grandfather, but I know Nan's sons and grandchildren were really upset. One of her grandchildren has spent so much time and money investigating, but there are no new leads. I'm in contact with many Leighton relatives (Nan's maiden name was Leighton), and most seem to think it was Nan's nephew, Butch Leighton, son of her brother Harry. Butch was known for being friends with the sheriffs around there and most were corrupt. He had a store that was a front for the drug trade and they used to do air drops of some kind out in the desert (likely drugs). Butch was a bad man, as he had even sexually assaulted his female cousins and also was known for leaving my grandfather in the middle of the desert with a broken back. Butch was bad news, and we have long suspected he was involved.
We think Nan saw something she wasn't supposed to see. It's really interesting how the car was auctioned off by the police, and Nan was not the kind of person who would take her own life.
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your family member. Until she's found, people will keep looking. I used to live in Carson City, Nevada- I know that finding a person in the desert is going to require a miracle. I pray your family receives it.
Steven, first of all my condolences to you and your family for the loss of a family member. This comment explains a lot on what happened to your Great Aunt...very interesting?
You are officially my favorite urban explorer you tube channel!! For me, you really make them very easy to watch. I stay glued from beg to end.. I like how u edit facts in at jus the perfect points. I liked when u had the old photo to compare to now.. That's always cool to see! Your cinematography and love of history and mysteries really shine through the videos..🤗 I needed something new to help me through my chemo days and (in between), and thanks to you, I literally feel as though I'm going through it with you.. Very rare to find and it makes it that much more enjoyable for me.. I can't wait to see what u have around the next corner.. Ty for your hard work and attn to detail etc .. You deserve way more subs- however, I am positive they will be coming.. Take care and God bless u guys🙏🏻..
+greeneyed Lilpup74 I am so sorry to hear you are going to through chemo, you are such a sweet and wonderful viewer. It's viewers like you that make it all worth it. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. It warms my heart to know you enjoy our videos and it helps you get through the difficult times you are facing. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I like your no BS approach , you don't over dramatize every little noise or moth. strait ahead history & backstories . much more interesting than Demons & evil spirits @ every corner . reality is weird enough without the embelishments like in other shows .
After watching these 3 video's it reminded me of when Mrs Dixon disappeared and I did a little research on my own to refresh my memory of the details of the case. I can't imagine the pain and the heartache her family especially her granddaughter must be feeling. I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you are for all that you are doing to help her find her Gramma and the hope that you've given her just letting Mona know she's not alone in trying to bringing her home. Good work young man. Thank you.
+Karen Foster Thank you Karen, we just got back from spending a week out hiking the entire canyon where Nan's vehicle was found and took a bunch of quad copter video footage of the entire area. We found some interesting things down further into the canyon, close to the end of the canyon. We are just getting started in our search and have started contacting everyone involved in the case to try and get as much info as possible to help bring Nan home to her family. If you have any info you can share, I would be most grateful. We appreciate your kind comments and support. Thank you. :-)
Explore With Us I'll look forward to seeing the footage if you decide to share. I think I remembered Mrs. Dixons disappearance so well was because she reminded me so much of my own mother not only in appearance but in her spunky and independent spirit as well setting out on her own as she did into an area that she was unfamiliar with to collect a debt that was owed to her, armed with only determination and a gun something that my own mom would do and it only made me worry more for her each time she set out on one of her adventures. Because as in this case it was a reminder of the dangers that are out there. I wish I did have info or suggestions on how to bring this sweet lady home. If you can think of anything that I might be able to do to help whether it be research or even helping with search efforts please let me know, I live in Utah and am semi retired and would be happy to do whatever I can to help to give this family some closure to this heartbreaking case. Again thank you for restoring my faith in the human spirit and my fellow man and that there are people out there that do care and can and will help others.
You guys are my favorite explorers! I watch you guys all the time. Binged a bunch of videos today, love how you search for people and care so much. I will continue to support you guys as best I can! Hoping I’ll have funds to pick up some merch soon!
Thank You for such prompt response and additional information from Steven John Leighton concerning the family's ideas of what might have happened to Nan. I wonder how Butch Dixon met his demise. He sounds as if he was or rather might have been a contributing factor to Nan's disappearance. Interesting info about her car and the disposition of it. Today it hopefully would be more carefully examined. I really enjoy seeing this as I will never be able to see any of this. Thank you so very much!
Very interesting videos, the mystery of what happened to her , keeps you going. You have come a long way, since I first watched your videos. The details and history are excellent. 10 thumbs up on this one!
You guys are truly brave, Mines facinate me but I ould never go myself. I just found your channel last night and im glued to it now. Thank you-wow!! RIP Nan Dixon-that's just terrible
What a fantastic channel you have built bro. No drama , no massively spooky builds ups , just hard cold facts and plenty of truth. Kudos an good luck from the UK. Really enjoy your vids an slowly working my way through them. :))))
You should have Exploring Abandoned Mines youtuber explore that mine. I think he does Nevada primarily anyway. His crew very thoroughly search mines. They make as good mine videos as you do for abandoned above ground things.
I'm not sure how I came across your videos but, I am hooked! The story line and factoids imbedded in your videos along with the quality are genius. You're doing a wonderful job and I thank you for taking us along with your adventures. I absolutely have to help find Nan! I don't know what I can do but, I will be telling all my friends to follow along and try to help as well. Thanks again and Godspeed!
That's an empty film pack, based on the date it's most likely a Time Zero/SX-70 Polaroid camera pack; the time frame is a little early for the 600 series cameras and film to have come out, even though the film packs look identical. The crime scene investigators might have used cameras like that but a lot of them were using the Polaroid peel-apart film cameras (with Type 108 film) back then, so it's impossible to determine that with any certainty.
Another great video! This story is very intriguing and I can't wait to help you look for Nan. Finding that cassette tape and the polaroid camera is very interesting indeed. Looking forward to your next video.
+CamSayCam The cassette tape was originally a blank, so I am going to transfer the tape into a new cassette case and see what was recorded on it. I did see it has the tape still in it, so with a new case and a little cleaning up, I should be able to hear what is on it. I will have to make a video when I transfer it over and listen to it the first time. Very strange place to find a cassette tape. I believe it must have belonged to Nan.
Great video set! Fascinating but very sad story. Nice photography & editing. Love the drone footage. You guys have a new sub. Can't wait for more information on Nan. I hope she is found.
+Geri Kinnaman Thank you so much for the support, you just made someone's day. :-) We are going back to find her very soon, and if we find anything else, I will make an update video. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
An orb comes out at 6:21. It moves from left to right and sort of curves up. It' s always said those could be dust but it's the only one I've seen so far.
Random question but i always wonder, have you guys ever actually ran into any squatters in abandoned places you go? I have watched quite a bit of your videos but not all and was curious. Also i LOVE that you guys go out and try to really look and piece together these things for families who are hoping to bring home loved ones, the desert is a cruel place.
The car was driven there to hide it but wasn't burnt out, which might draw attention to it in the daylight. It still seems a little odd especially as it was found 4 years after her disappearance. It's not made clear how long it had been there and the area had already been searched so she obviously didn't leave it there. That means that all the conjecture surrounding her proximity to the car is pointless because she couldn't have driven it there. For all you/we know she could have reached her destination and was on her way home with the money, when she was "disappeared" so could realistically be anywhere. If the brothers and/or nephews were under suspicion the best thing they could do was deny she ever arrived. The car not appearing again for 4 years however is very odd. It's not that easy to hide a car for that length of time and the logical thing would have been to destroy it to hide the evidence.
There is a road to get to the top of the valley, but down into the valley the road no longer exists. It wasn't until I got there and seen it for myself that I realize how easily that car could have been missed in the search. It was searched by air, but they would have had to fly exactly over that area to see it, and it would have easily been missed.
I think it was her brother or he somehow was involved. Because she went to collect her money her brother owed her and she followed a handmade map..how do we not know this map led her to ambush and she was murdered.. I find it hard to believe her car was in that spot for 4 years because when they found it, the tire tracks driven off the road were still there. Why would she drive off the road? why would a 70 something year old lady leave her car and carry her possessions over rugged land..too strenuous I would think. the note found in the car makes no sense and then you have the possible blood in the back. what if someone ambushed her and murdered her and put her in the back and then drive to hide the car until people stopped looking for her. Nothing adds up and for days I've been brainstorming this case.
Some petty cool places out in the middle of nowhere, glad you document and share this with us all! Can't stress it enough that it's easy to be stranded and lost out where nearly no one will find you, so as you said pack a lot of supplies, and you should bring firearms, you can find strange people and beasts out there. I wouldn't go out to any of these places without a hand gun and maybe a rifle at least. I may be paranoid but you also should consider they can help you survive by having tools to start fires, hut for food, and signal people if you are inventive. Judging by the places you guys go and explore I assume you are packing and I truly hope so, would be unfortunate for you to stumble acrossed some unstable person in the middle of nowhere and not be heard from again.
At 3:32 the camera is aimed at the floor looking at the small animal bones and I'm trying to figure out if that round white object with three holes where one might expect eyes and a nose to be is just a rock with owl droppings on it, or it kind of looks like a skull...Great video series. Thx for sharing!
hi I've watched alot of your video's and read up on the case, the first thing that came to me she was set up & to read they found alot of woman's bodies out there that makes my stomach turn these are heartbreaking cases & I think a medium could help you get the answer's you seek & I can't wait to hear whats on the tape
+Dan Bywater We were going to end the series, but conducted another search just about a week ago that we will post. We also took a bunch of video from the air that we plan on posting to let others help us try to find Nan.
+Explore With Us great good luck I hope someone finds her its Avery sad story and she deserves to come home!!!! has anyone talked to a sycec you know what I mean cops use em on cold cases the ones that I've seen that are good are in Florida and Alabama I think there's one that works with police in San Diego I'm not sure I think this case could use one to get some leads
I just don't understand some things I'm assuming her car was stuck? She had some gas to keep warm at night. If she stayed for any length of time in her car wouldn't there be evidence of that? I'd be pulling clothes out of my suitcase for warmth or discarded pop bottles or rolled clothing for a pillow. If she had gas for warmth she could have just left so I'm assuming her cars stuck. After a few hours of sitting there wouldn't she be trying to push some rocks or some clothing, anything that might help give traction, under the stuck tire? Try to push some of the sand away? That would be easier then carrying a suitcase thru that environment. Even after four years that evidence of a stuck tire would still exist. If she spent time in the car because it was a familiar safe place with the only shade that would have been evident. If the car was in the deserts hot sun for four years wouldn't the paint on the car show this? Would rodents have moved in? Even they want to get out of the sun. Did the car have spider webs on it? The police took pictures and must have investigated the findings. Local papers must have pictures and sometimes graphic articles back then. But say okay....she spent as much time as she could in the car and knew help wasn't coming and she had to leave. She's carrying her suitcase, purse. A twenty year old would be puffing to get up those hills and this 73 year old had added weight of what she's taking with her with a lot less muscle mass. No way. Shed be hard pressed on a flat away. After a short distance shed have to abandon her things and maybe carry extra clothing for warmth. If she spent any time at her car before leaving any liquid she had would have pretty well been depleted. She needs to leave her safe haven to save her life. So she starts walking? How fast or far do you think a 73 year old, in a desert, with high temperatures, a suitcase and a purse with limited liquids can go? If this is what Nan did then she's in close proximity of where the car was. And without a doubt the suitcase is. I wish there was pics of the car cuz wouldn't the desert ruin the paint? But if someone had to hide that car in a garage so it wouldn't be found the paint would be better and interior not faded. Also if the car was stuck you could probably still see evidence today where it got stuck at. I'm getting up in age and I would put rocks under my tires or try jacking my tire up to slide something under or put some old pants under the tire, anything, cuz its better then walking away into a desert. I'd like to know the inventory of her found car and what kind of shape it was in when found. Was the battery dead was the gas old were the mirrors turned was clothing in the car any rodents fingerprints spiderwebs were the seats pushed back. So many questions. And if her car wasn't stuck...most, I would have hung around ten minutes and left for a phone to call brother.
+Deborah gleockler have you ever heard the phrase thou protest to much.? that's you, oh, my family was so loving this, so blessed that. I call bullshit. you know Dahmer and Ted bundy were well loved and giving to. why did your idiot grandfather make her come out there for money he owed HER? The ass hole should have taken it to her if she needed it so bad. my guess is there was no way in HELL he had six grand to pay her back so he buried her ass out there somewhere.
I know this was a few years ago but something to think about if you have a place of this calibre you could hide some trail cams and when you do a follow-up can see if they picked anything up not trying to tell you guys how do run your show just thought it might turn up something cool. Keep up the good work.
Me and my dad in bosnia love your stuff. I am really missing kenny veach the most, and feel so bad for nan dixon, she would be 113 now according to missing. i think maybe kenny veach crossed area 51 on purpose and got terminated and they obviously dont report a death, does anybody think maybe? because he was suicidal i think he may have crossed to get killed. :(
I hope you find her... She seemed like a nice lady by her pictures. What if the brother gave her fake directions? To throw her off his trail ? I've been praying that her remains get found. God knows where she is .
idk...Nan disappeared in 1978, car found in 82. same years as those magazines. Her note talks about someone asking her to commit suicide, and her objection to it.
something about the stacked rocks in the mine on the left hand side just before the tunnel to the left grabbed my attention. if only it were possible to get a round about idea of when they were stacked there. that would be a great way to ensure someone wasnt found because it "blends in" with its environment.
Nice newer channel and I like the content so far. The only think I would ask is more information on the other bodies found in the area and if there was a suspected serial killer or not?
They are not sure as there are more people still missing along highway 80 in the area who went missing under mysterious circumstances. They police have one speculated on the possibility of a serial killer as many people went missing and have never been found in the area. Thank you for watching.
Enjoying your video. A question for you...At time marker 7:04, when you were in the mine I noticed that the stones by the left side of the cave near the fallen rock seemed to be very neatly stacked in rows. It struck me as odd that the rocks would be SO neatly "arranged." Did you think anything of that? or is it commonplace to stack or arrange fallen rock so it would be stable? (or maybe cover someone up so they would not be noticed?) Just wondering. You have my full attention and hoping you find additional info on this tragic story. Thank you.
Whoa!This was amazing!You are SO much braver than I am!No way would I have ventured into the mine.Did you go in alone?Loved the owl!Great catch.Funny thing is every time I said something you did it.Like catching dates on the reading material or looking in past the cave in. WHY on EARTH would an older woman go traipsing around unprepared in that area?Theres nothing of interest for her there.My uneducated guess is that she wouldn't! finding that Polaroid film was so strange! Great job!
+Candy Santillo Yeah, I went in alone as it seemed too unstable to allow others to go in. I think the most dangerous part was the opening of the mine. I should have gone over the dirt to make sure it didn't continue. Next time I am in the area I will see what is further back. I agree, I don't see her going in that area deliberately either. Seems more likely she was murdered and her vehicle was stashed in the area. Thank you for watching.
+Explore With Us - unfortunately that was my feeling/ thoughts as well.. Be interested to know if driver seat was moved- etc.. Whoever it was, obviously knew ( thought) they would get away with it.. So sad.. I hope we can prove them wrong one day.. Of course, we will never know these important details to questions that I have swimming in my brain, as they sold the car- and lost evidence? Is that correct? My heart breaks for the family. I know having u guys actually trying to help, makes a huge difference though to the family.. ☺️
I was recently sent ALL the case files for the case, so if you have questions, please feel free to ask and I will try to find out for you. Sometimes these things get buried in the comment section, so feel free to start a new comment so it shows up at the top and I don't miss it. I try to reply to all comments, but sometimes I miss some. If I do, just send me a message. :-)
Yep, that is the cartridge for a Polaroid camera. The film slides down into it and then you slide the cartridge into the bottom of the camera or back depending on the model.
Those videos you did with the drone are what made me think it is possible to look for Nan with street view. It looks like someone, between 2008-2009, (i am not sure of that date), has either by horse back, or when the ground was wet, been going up and down all the turn offs on 399. There are tracks everywhere. Was that you? Just curious. I have been going foot by foot down 399, when I have time. May be a waste of time, idk.
Loved this whole series, it was fascinating. I really do hope that the mystery of Nans disappearance will be cleared up in the end. I am inclined to lean towards your theory and think that she had simply got lost out there after taking a wrong turn. What an awful way to die if that was the case though.
+Karen Johansen Thank you for watching, and I am happy to know you enjoyed it. I plan on visiting the area a few more times to look further down the creek bed and in a few mine shafts / tunnels to see what i can find. I will also update on what I find on the cassette tape. Thank you for the support. :-)
+Explore With Us I am really happy that you are going to continue with this, who knows, you might solve the case. Really looking forward to seeing more videos about this place and see what you might uncover.
I have to wonder if someone buried her underneath where her car was parked? Also, when they found her car were the keys in it? After the car was checked over was anything mechanically found to be wrong with it?
yes indeedy! prayers to you all oxox Wow, most disturbing on so many levels ugh….. Praying for Nan & loved ones & seen these vids that are posted, shocked at the very least to see my beloved, fun, loving, amazing grand parents & uncle arts names mentioned… I’m in my 50’s now & grew up enjoying there tender loving care, if you all only new my precious loving Family, it would never ever cross your mind of a maybe implicated murder. My grand parents Harry & Lula Leighton so genuine, God loving, NOT self righteous, tenderhearted, caring folks always full of love and laughter , hospitality to all. Very talented, humble, beautiful souls. They never ever had a bad word to say about anyone. Would cook for everyone, & enjoyed sharing there gold mine like a bed and breakfast cabin inn. Harry & Lula love everyone!!!! & soooo loved their little puppy dog nugget, he was an adorable blonde Chihuahua like my pups I have lol. They made Porcelain figuring’s & Santa Christmas mugs for hot chocolate etc lovely things, they’d sell some & give away some too! BIG giving hearts to everyone not just us family members. They loved the simplicity of a simple life, wanted no t.v.’s , used an outhouse, had a generator , candle lit evenings etc… so humble, peaceful precious folks my grandparents Harry & Lula Leighton. There cabins in Nevada were well taken care of , cozy & full of love & laughter. Extremely giving generous souls they were, praying folks as I am to this day as well, we’d always give grace & enjoy braking bread over a great home cooked meal & fun loving conversation & always ice cream after dinner, yes & yum! Many memorable memories of them coming to visit us in southern calif for the Holidays , giving thanks & eating delicious meals together. My beautiful grandmother Lulu would share natural healing remedies with veggie foods for health & beauty, especially because my lovely grand Mother Lula who was a sweet tiny itsy bitsy thing, and a American Indian, Irish & English Lady Loved the Lord , family, friends and natural nutrition , as I do too. Her pretty scent was lavender, use kiddos would say Grandma smells like purple lol, we didn’t know at the time it was called lavender lol. And my adorable Grandpa Harry who was much like curly from the 3 stooges, always loved to make us kiddos giggle. He would tell us interesting & funny stories of the tall red hair giant Indians that were found in the Nevada mountains. You can google info. Well honestly folks I can go on and on about my fun, loving memorable memories lol, yet I will close for now with one last thought, about my Uncle Art , he was a great fun uncle & babysitter; he’d make us kiddo’s root beer floats!

Thank you for your response! Yes I am Mona's cousin. Harry and Lula Leighton were my loving grandparents and Art Leighton was my loving Uncle. Yes, If I can have your email and I will send you more information about their character. Thank you, have a great evening! OD Prz
Whatever you do, don't post your email on here, but if you can send me a message on here by going to my channel, about, and click on the contact me, you will be able to send me an email. I have spent the last 9 months looking for Nan and trying to find her remains. But I have recently decided to take a step back and am currently no longer involved with the search. I would love to hear more from you.
You should bring a tape measure with you and measure the length and width of those bones you find and that would probably sufficient enough to show the PD if you find something worth them taking a look into.
I was thinking there is a part like at 8:25 or so those rocks on the side looks like someone put up a makeshift wall. I don't know I know that you said at one point you stopped looking but, just in case, it's a thought.
Not to nitpick, but could maybe put the papers and things you find back in there place next time? They've been there an awful long time til you tossed them about. Still, love the videos.
That looks like a perfect place to 'hide' a car. I believe someone knew that area well and decided that the best place to hide a car would be down in that little low spot. As you panned the camera from where the car was found, there is low visibility. It was out of sight from afar. This spot is far also enough away from the house that she was supposed to be heading to, that this would have created an illusion of separation - the car being far enough from the house to avoid suspicion. But it's not so far from the house that someone would have to be explaining 'where they went' during the time they ditched that car and made it back home. The sight of the car was staged - or - someone actually spent time there waiting for someone to pick them up and bring them home. Stuff was strewn about the car to try and be a diversion for anyone who might want to investigate once the car was located. Also, even though 'she walked everyday', I don't think an elderly person would have been able to get very far from that car, especially if they'd spent so much time there - given the steeper slopes around it. I think she should have been found as she likely couldn't have gone far enough. My imaginative mind could speculate all these things... but I'm having a hard time ignoring those coincidences. She met with fowl play somewhere else and the car was ditched way over here. Very sad to think about this. I wish all the family wellness and healing.
I am addicted to your show you are very brave. I Love your murder mystery maybe you should pay attention to names written on walls Iget a strong feeling there was a lot of torture in those places. I watch you when I wake up almost all day till I go to sleep
Just throwing this out there: Interstate 80 shall go down as the number one interstate in America that can possibly be connected to multiple murders. If you want hauntings, travel I-80 in Utah, Northern Nevada and parts of Northern California. For many years the unusual concentration of found bodies, abandoned cars, and the like have been found. Thus, adding all the murders and disappearances it is highly likely Dixon might have been subject to this. Many authorities believe there have been multiple serial killers based at I-80. I suggest looking into it. Also, what happened to Dixon lines up with what happened to others.
Looked like a purse ( or something like one) back at cave discovery and walk thru...time 7:50? There had been a cave in and a stack of rock was on your left side in a small cove. It looked to be about 3 feet back.
OMG...did you see that orb...it went right in front of you...and that black shadow on the left when you shined the light...it was like peaking around the corner...omg...!!!
do you happen to know what kind of landmarks Nan was supposed to be looking for? You know, like when someone tells you after the gas station turn right, but in the terms of the area? also, they said black tape was used to make the lines on the old photo, do you think that's how the electrical tape got there? le can be pretty messy
+rolf sinkgraven Yeah, they like to do that with mines, they put up a fence with some little slogan to try and keep people out. Thanks for watching and your continued support. Hope you are doing well my friend.
5:43 those boards are secured by what are called rock bolts sometimes over a foot long drilled into the unstable rock and still a technology used to this day except they now are called chemical bolts as they have resin that goes of and locks them in place
at 6:19 there's a orb that comes out from the left side of the wall and flies off camera. I heard that if there's water nearby, its a conduct of energy for sprits to manifest
At minute 6:21 seconds there is an orb, which some paranormal experts believe to be spirits fly from the upper left down towards the lower right and then disappear, so a paranormal presence could be there depending on what YOU believe
that's sad what happend to Nan. But it's just to difficult to determine in this present day, wild life was probably more in that location back in the 70's. She was probably murdered but for what??? The poor lady was in her 70's
I am near Centralia...nothing there to really see anymore...homes are all torn down and taken back by mother nature and graffiti highway is off limits and patrolled by police.
I am not trying to discourage you from going to Centralia, with the way you investagate, you may come up with something new. That being said, there have been many books and videos done on this place. Check out the Wandering woodsman and jpvideo to name a few.
I thought the same thing until I talked with a friend of mine in law enforcement. He said there was no way they would contaminate possible crime scene by leaving it there. Who knows though, maybe they didn't care. I am sure it happens all the time.
This isn't really related to Nan Dixon - but the newspaper you found... "Our top match for Roe Craig was an individual named Roe M Craig. He lived in Chico, CA, 95926 and passed away (y 2003) at the age 89 years old." Hopefully Mr. Craig is at rest; you found his newspapers. Who knows how in the world he ended up there in that mineshaft in 1980... but he made it out alive.
Y'all saw what appears to be a Long Eared Owl! Thats so freaking cool! The bones you found in the cave looked to gave had pellets nearby too, meaning that beautiful bird lives there. Man I'm jealous
I love these video's thanks guys. I seriously get stuck watching y'alls videos and next thing I know it's like 5 am and I started at like midnight lol 😂 thanks again great videos. Haha you do say old allot
Wow, that was a good one. If you watch his video "ABANDONED Haunted Horton Mine Tunnel CREEPY Sounds Captured Inside" you can see an orb come up from behind him at 10:58. It comes up from the lower right side, is more faint than the one in this video but still looks very much like an orb.
Is there a part 4 coming? Probably burned and scattered throughout. Sadly it's about the💰The suicide letter in the write-up seems rather forced and a stretch. My opinion
+piperlynne1 Yeah, I think you are probably correct. I can't wait to get that tape and see what is on it. I will make a video of the repair and first play.
Nan Dixon was my great great aunt, sister of my great grandfather Paul Leighton
What does your family think about her disappearance? Or are they stumped, too? Sorry for the tragic loss of a family member.
I never met her, or my great grandfather or grandfather, but I know Nan's sons and grandchildren were really upset. One of her grandchildren has spent so much time and money investigating, but there are no new leads. I'm in contact with many Leighton relatives (Nan's maiden name was Leighton), and most seem to think it was Nan's nephew, Butch Leighton, son of her brother Harry. Butch was known for being friends with the sheriffs around there and most were corrupt. He had a store that was a front for the drug trade and they used to do air drops of some kind out in the desert (likely drugs). Butch was a bad man, as he had even sexually assaulted his female cousins and also was known for leaving my grandfather in the middle of the desert with a broken back. Butch was bad news, and we have long suspected he was involved.
We think Nan saw something she wasn't supposed to see. It's really interesting how the car was auctioned off by the police, and Nan was not the kind of person who would take her own life.
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your family member. Until she's found, people will keep looking. I used to live in Carson City, Nevada- I know that finding a person in the desert is going to require a miracle. I pray your family receives it.
Steven, first of all my condolences to you and your family for the loss of a family member. This comment explains a lot on what happened to your Great Aunt...very interesting?
You and your daughter are truly caring people wish we had more of you.
You are officially my favorite urban explorer you tube channel!! For me, you really make them very easy to watch. I stay glued from beg to end.. I like how u edit facts in at jus the perfect points. I liked when u had the old photo to compare to now.. That's always cool to see! Your cinematography and love of history and mysteries really shine through the videos..🤗 I needed something new to help me through my chemo days and (in between), and thanks to you, I literally feel as though I'm going through it with you.. Very rare to find and it makes it that much more enjoyable for me.. I can't wait to see what u have around the next corner.. Ty for your hard work and attn to detail etc .. You deserve way more subs- however, I am positive they will be coming.. Take care and God bless u guys🙏🏻..
+greeneyed Lilpup74 I am so sorry to hear you are going to through chemo, you are such a sweet and wonderful viewer. It's viewers like you that make it all worth it. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. It warms my heart to know you enjoy our videos and it helps you get through the difficult times you are facing. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I like your no BS approach , you don't over dramatize every little noise or moth. strait ahead history & backstories . much more interesting than Demons & evil spirits @ every corner . reality is weird enough without the embelishments like in other shows .
After watching these 3 video's it reminded me of when Mrs Dixon disappeared and I did a little research on my own to refresh my memory of the details of the case. I can't imagine the pain and the heartache her family especially her granddaughter must be feeling. I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you are for all that you are doing to help her find her Gramma and the hope that you've given her just letting Mona know she's not alone in trying to bringing her home. Good work young man. Thank you.
+Karen Foster Thank you Karen, we just got back from spending a week out hiking the entire canyon where Nan's vehicle was found and took a bunch of quad copter video footage of the entire area. We found some interesting things down further into the canyon, close to the end of the canyon. We are just getting started in our search and have started contacting everyone involved in the case to try and get as much info as possible to help bring Nan home to her family. If you have any info you can share, I would be most grateful. We appreciate your kind comments and support. Thank you. :-)
Explore With Us I'll look forward to seeing the footage if you decide to share. I think I remembered Mrs. Dixons disappearance so well was because she reminded me so much of my own mother not only in appearance but in her spunky and independent spirit as well setting out on her own as she did into an area that she was unfamiliar with to collect a debt that was owed to her, armed with only determination and a gun something that my own mom would do and it only made me worry more for her each time she set out on one of her adventures. Because as in this case it was a reminder of the dangers that are out there. I wish I did have info or suggestions on how to bring this sweet lady home. If you can think of anything that I might be able to do to help whether it be research or even helping with search efforts please let me know, I live in Utah and am semi retired and would be happy to do whatever I can to help to give this family some closure to this heartbreaking case. Again thank you for restoring my faith in the human spirit and my fellow man and that there are people out there that do care and can and will help others.
could have collapsed the mine to hide bodies
You guys are my favorite explorers! I watch you guys all the time. Binged a bunch of videos today, love how you search for people and care so much. I will continue to support you guys as best I can! Hoping I’ll have funds to pick up some merch soon!
Thank You for such prompt response and additional information from Steven John Leighton concerning the family's ideas of what might have happened to Nan. I wonder how Butch Dixon met his demise. He sounds as if he was or rather might have been a contributing factor to Nan's disappearance. Interesting info about her car and the disposition of it. Today it hopefully would be more carefully examined. I really enjoy seeing this as I will never be able to see any of this. Thank you so very much!
JESUS CHRIST! YOU PEOPLE ARE SO BRAVE! I WAS WORRIED & SCARED SITTING HERE AT HOME WATCHING??? GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!
man that is nice out there , I love to live far out in no where land, but that is great place to stay.
There's a lot of gold out there too for anyone who is into gold prospecting.
Very interesting videos, the mystery of what happened to her , keeps you going. You have come a long way, since I first watched your videos. The details and history are excellent. 10 thumbs up on this one!
+Veronica Morgan Thank you so much, you have made my day yet again.
You guys are truly brave, Mines facinate me but I ould never go myself. I just found your channel last night and im glued to it now. Thank you-wow!! RIP Nan Dixon-that's just terrible
What a fantastic channel you have built bro. No drama , no massively spooky builds ups , just hard cold facts and plenty of truth. Kudos an good luck from the UK. Really enjoy your vids an slowly working my way through them. :))))
You should have Exploring Abandoned Mines youtuber explore that mine. I think he does Nevada primarily anyway. His crew very thoroughly search mines. They make as good mine videos as you do for abandoned above ground things.
Yes! been waiting for another upload from you guys! Good video!
I'm not sure how I came across your videos but, I am hooked! The story line and factoids imbedded in your videos along with the quality are genius. You're doing a wonderful job and I thank you for taking us along with your adventures. I absolutely have to help find Nan! I don't know what I can do but, I will be telling all my friends to follow along and try to help as well. Thanks again and Godspeed!
Thank you so much for the kind comments and support. :-)
That's an empty film pack, based on the date it's most likely a Time Zero/SX-70 Polaroid camera pack; the time frame is a little early for the 600 series cameras and film to have come out, even though the film packs look identical. The crime scene investigators might have used cameras like that but a lot of them were using the Polaroid peel-apart film cameras (with Type 108 film) back then, so it's impossible to determine that with any certainty.
Another great video! This story is very intriguing and I can't wait to help you look for Nan. Finding that cassette tape and the polaroid camera is very interesting indeed. Looking forward to your next video.
+CamSayCam The cassette tape was originally a blank, so I am going to transfer the tape into a new cassette case and see what was recorded on it. I did see it has the tape still in it, so with a new case and a little cleaning up, I should be able to hear what is on it. I will have to make a video when I transfer it over and listen to it the first time. Very strange place to find a cassette tape. I believe it must have belonged to Nan.
+Explore With Us I am really looking forward to this video, can't wait to see what you find on that tape.
I think the voice every one heard at 10:58 is one of his kids in the background. He does have his family with him.
Yeah, it's most likely one of the kids.
Sounds like when he said she may have gotten lost a voice said never. Idk
Keep hearing similar sounds around 14:25. Maybe something to do with his metal detector. Wonder if the first sound was the metal detector as well?
the first time I actually loved these videos.thankyou
Your explorations are definitely NOT for the faint of heart! While your treks are exhilarating, I believe I'll just go on them via your videos. :)
Thank you Texas Smiles, I appreciate it! :-)
Great video set! Fascinating but very sad story. Nice photography & editing. Love the drone footage. You guys have a new sub. Can't wait for more information on Nan. I hope she is found.
+Geri Kinnaman Thank you so much for the support, you just made someone's day. :-) We are going back to find her very soon, and if we find anything else, I will make an update video. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Loved all of this from part 1 to 3 great work
+Stu-E Thank you, you made my day. :-)
An orb comes out at 6:21. It moves from left to right and sort of curves up. It' s always said those could be dust but it's the only one I've seen so far.
I saw it and take a screenshot to send but then i saw your comment so he obviously have seen it already by now
morningdewgarden I saw it too.
morningdewgarden they are bigger and move differently then dust.
Great vid. It would be awesome if you could find out about Nan
Small moth.
My Dad Had a Polaroid camera,,,what you found looks like the disposable film cartridge. Shame on whoever left their trash behind.
Random question but i always wonder, have you guys ever actually ran into any squatters in abandoned places you go? I have watched quite a bit of your videos but not all and was curious. Also i LOVE that you guys go out and try to really look and piece together these things for families who are hoping to bring home loved ones, the desert is a cruel place.
The car was driven there to hide it but wasn't burnt out, which might draw attention to it in the daylight. It still seems a little odd especially as it was found 4 years after her disappearance. It's not made clear how long it had been there and the area had already been searched so she obviously didn't leave it there. That means that all the conjecture surrounding her proximity to the car is pointless because she couldn't have driven it there.
For all you/we know she could have reached her destination and was on her way home with the money, when she was "disappeared" so could realistically be anywhere. If the brothers and/or nephews were under suspicion the best thing they could do was deny she ever arrived. The car not appearing again for 4 years however is very odd. It's not that easy to hide a car for that length of time and the logical thing would have been to destroy it to hide the evidence.
There is a road to get to the top of the valley, but down into the valley the road no longer exists. It wasn't until I got there and seen it for myself that I realize how easily that car could have been missed in the search. It was searched by air, but they would have had to fly exactly over that area to see it, and it would have easily been missed.
I think it was her brother or he somehow was involved. Because she went to collect her money her brother owed her and she followed a handmade map..how do we not know this map led her to ambush and she was murdered.. I find it hard to believe her car was in that spot for 4 years because when they found it, the tire tracks driven off the road were still there. Why would she drive off the road? why would a 70 something year old lady leave her car and carry her possessions over rugged land..too strenuous I would think. the note found in the car makes no sense and then you have the possible blood in the back. what if someone ambushed her and murdered her and put her in the back and then drive to hide the car until people stopped looking for her. Nothing adds up and for days I've been brainstorming this case.
I wonder when the license expired on the car, if it kept getting registered someone had to do it
Big Ian Builds the sheriff was involved I lived there they were dirty scumbag rapist killers drug dealers
Thanks for part three. The drone intro was neat. Good luck with your search.
+zalmaflash Thank you, hopefully someone will find something.
Around 6:20, you will see an orb of light come in from the upper left and go straight towards the camera. Happy to have found your videos!
Thank you for the support. :-)
I saw the orb.. ✌
+Explore With Us Hey just subscribed to your channel, very interesting videos keep up the good work. all the best from Steve in New Zealand
Good job really enjoyed your videos,kept me in suspense! You have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much Colleen. :-)
Explore With Us Your so very welcome!
Some petty cool places out in the middle of nowhere, glad you document and share this with us all! Can't stress it enough that it's easy to be stranded and lost out where nearly no one will find you, so as you said pack a lot of supplies, and you should bring firearms, you can find strange people and beasts out there. I wouldn't go out to any of these places without a hand gun and maybe a rifle at least. I may be paranoid but you also should consider they can help you survive by having tools to start fires, hut for food, and signal people if you are inventive. Judging by the places you guys go and explore I assume you are packing and I truly hope so, would be unfortunate for you to stumble acrossed some unstable person in the middle of nowhere and not be heard from again.
At 3:32 the camera is aimed at the floor looking at the small animal bones and I'm trying to figure out if that round white object with three holes where one might expect eyes and a nose to be is just a rock with owl droppings on it, or it kind of looks like a skull...Great video series. Thx for sharing!
Good catch, I think it may have been a rock covered in owl droppings like you said above.
Realy like your vids ty for bring me to your places my friend.
Love your videos man! awesome!
This channel needs to be a tv series
Very interesting! That area looks very inhospitable! Thanks for sharing!
+Mar Bear Thank you for watching and the support.
+Explore With Us 😀
10:58 you talk about Nan getting lost out there she answered you "YES" loud and clear !!
I hear it to
I have to go to work tomorrow but instead of sleeping I'm watching your videos
hi I've watched alot of your video's and read up on the case, the first thing that came to me she was set up & to read they found alot of woman's bodies out there that makes my stomach turn these are heartbreaking cases & I think a medium could help you get the answer's you seek & I can't wait to hear whats on the tape
Thank you for the feedback and I will look into all possibilities.
Likelihood a medium would help is rare...get it medium rare....wackawackawacka
when u Gona do part four ?? I love watching. You are blessed team. looks like alota fun
+Dan Bywater We were going to end the series, but conducted another search just about a week ago that we will post. We also took a bunch of video from the air that we plan on posting to let others help us try to find Nan.
+Explore With Us great good luck I hope someone finds her its Avery sad story and she deserves to come home!!!! has anyone talked to a sycec you know what I mean cops use em on cold cases the ones that I've seen that are good are in Florida and Alabama I think there's one that works with police in San Diego I'm not sure I think this case could use one to get some leads
I'm suppose to be in bed sleeping but can't stop watching. I have to know what happened to poor Nan.
Sorry about that, hopefully you're enjoying the video series. :-)
I just don't understand some things I'm assuming her car was stuck? She had some gas to keep warm at night. If she stayed for any length of time in her car wouldn't there be evidence of that? I'd be pulling clothes out of my suitcase for warmth or discarded pop bottles or rolled clothing for a pillow. If she had gas for warmth she could have just left so I'm assuming her cars stuck. After a few hours of sitting there wouldn't she be trying to push some rocks or some clothing, anything that might help give traction, under the stuck tire? Try to push some of the sand away? That would be easier then carrying a suitcase thru that environment. Even after four years that evidence of a stuck tire would still exist. If she spent time in the car because it was a familiar safe place with the only shade that would have been evident. If the car was in the deserts hot sun for four years wouldn't the paint on the car show this? Would rodents have moved in? Even they want to get out of the sun. Did the car have spider webs on it? The police took pictures and must have investigated the findings. Local papers must have pictures and sometimes graphic articles back then. But say okay....she spent as much time as she could in the car and knew help wasn't coming and she had to leave. She's carrying her suitcase, purse. A twenty year old would be puffing to get up those hills and this 73 year old had added weight of what she's taking with her with a lot less muscle mass. No way. Shed be hard pressed on a flat away. After a short distance shed have to abandon her things and maybe carry extra clothing for warmth. If she spent any time at her car before leaving any liquid she had would have pretty well been depleted. She needs to leave her safe haven to save her life. So she starts walking? How fast or far do you think a 73 year old, in a desert, with high temperatures, a suitcase and a purse with limited liquids can go? If this is what Nan did then she's in close proximity of where the car was. And without a doubt the suitcase is. I wish there was pics of the car cuz wouldn't the desert ruin the paint? But if someone had to hide that car in a garage so it wouldn't be found the paint would be better and interior not faded. Also if the car was stuck you could probably still see evidence today where it got stuck at. I'm getting up in age and I would put rocks under my tires or try jacking my tire up to slide something under or put some old pants under the tire, anything, cuz its better then walking away into a desert. I'd like to know the inventory of her found car and what kind of shape it was in when found. Was the battery dead was the gas old were the mirrors turned was clothing in the car any rodents fingerprints spiderwebs were the seats pushed back. So many questions. And if her car wasn't stuck...most, I would have hung around ten minutes and left for a phone to call brother.
+Deborah gleockler have you ever heard the phrase thou protest to much.? that's you, oh, my family was so loving this, so blessed that. I call bullshit. you know Dahmer and Ted bundy were well loved and giving to. why did your idiot grandfather make her come out there for money he owed HER? The ass hole should have taken it to her if she needed it so bad. my guess is there was no way in HELL he had six grand to pay her back so he buried her ass out there somewhere.
I know this was a few years ago but something to think about if you have a place of this calibre you could hide some trail cams and when you do a follow-up can see if they picked anything up not trying to tell you guys how do run your show just thought it might turn up something cool. Keep up the good work.
Thank you loved every minute of it . Great job 👍🏻
you are absolutely right that is the bottom half of a polaroid as well as the film and battery tray
Me and my dad in bosnia love your stuff. I am really missing kenny veach the most, and feel so bad for nan dixon, she would be 113 now according to missing. i think maybe kenny veach crossed area 51 on purpose and got terminated and they obviously dont report a death, does anybody think maybe? because he was suicidal i think he may have crossed to get killed. :(
I know this is old but please reply if you can with what you thnk maybe
I hope you find her... She seemed like a nice lady by her pictures. What if the brother gave her fake directions? To throw her off his trail ? I've been praying that her remains get found. God knows where she is .
Thank you Pam, if we find her, we will definitely let you know. :-)
idk...Nan disappeared in 1978, car found in 82. same years as those magazines. Her note talks about someone asking her to commit suicide, and her objection to it.
were u find that at
something about the stacked rocks in the mine on the left hand side just before the tunnel to the left grabbed my attention. if only it were possible to get a round about idea of when they were stacked there. that would be a great way to ensure someone wasnt found because it "blends in" with its environment.
Those rocks looked placed in..they looked perfect for a callapse
Nice newer channel and I like the content so far. The only think I would ask is more information on the other bodies found in the area and if there was a suspected serial killer or not?
They are not sure as there are more people still missing along highway 80 in the area who went missing under mysterious circumstances. They police have one speculated on the possibility of a serial killer as many people went missing and have never been found in the area. Thank you for watching.
Enjoying your video. A question for you...At time marker 7:04, when you were in the mine I noticed that the stones by the left side of the cave near the fallen rock seemed to be very neatly stacked in rows. It struck me as odd that the rocks would be SO neatly "arranged." Did you think anything of that? or is it commonplace to stack or arrange fallen rock so it would be stable? (or maybe cover someone up so they would not be noticed?) Just wondering. You have my full attention and hoping you find additional info on this tragic story. Thank you.
Now that you mention it, it is kind of strange.
That lawn chair to the entrance of the mine is Not old! You crack me up. 'Old' hahahahaha
Exactly. They're still being made!
Whoa!This was amazing!You are SO much braver than I am!No way would I have ventured into the mine.Did you go in alone?Loved the owl!Great catch.Funny thing is every time I said something you did it.Like catching dates on the reading material or looking in past the cave in. WHY on EARTH would an older woman go traipsing around unprepared in that area?Theres nothing of interest for her there.My uneducated guess is that she wouldn't! finding that Polaroid film was so strange! Great job!
+Candy Santillo Yeah, I went in alone as it seemed too unstable to allow others to go in. I think the most dangerous part was the opening of the mine. I should have gone over the dirt to make sure it didn't continue. Next time I am in the area I will see what is further back. I agree, I don't see her going in that area deliberately either. Seems more likely she was murdered and her vehicle was stashed in the area. Thank you for watching.
+Explore With Us - unfortunately that was my feeling/ thoughts as well.. Be interested to know if driver seat was moved- etc.. Whoever it was, obviously knew ( thought) they would get away with it.. So sad.. I hope we can prove them wrong one day.. Of course, we will never know these important details to questions that I have swimming in my brain, as they sold the car- and lost evidence? Is that correct? My heart breaks for the family. I know having u guys actually trying to help, makes a huge difference though to the family.. ☺️
I was recently sent ALL the case files for the case, so if you have questions, please feel free to ask and I will try to find out for you. Sometimes these things get buried in the comment section, so feel free to start a new comment so it shows up at the top and I don't miss it. I try to reply to all comments, but sometimes I miss some. If I do, just send me a message. :-)
Yep, that is the cartridge for a Polaroid camera. The film slides down into it and then you slide the cartridge into the bottom of the camera or back depending on the model.
you have me captivated... I will follow this story with you...
That Field and String magazine will unlock the fish net object in the craft menu!
Those videos you did with the drone are what made me think it is possible to look for Nan with street view. It looks like someone, between 2008-2009, (i am not sure of that date), has either by horse back, or when the ground was wet, been going up and down all the turn offs on 399. There are tracks everywhere. Was that you? Just curious. I have been going foot by foot down 399, when I have time. May be a waste of time, idk.
Loved this whole series, it was fascinating. I really do hope that the mystery of Nans disappearance will be cleared up in the end. I am inclined to lean towards your theory and think that she had simply got lost out there after taking a wrong turn. What an awful way to die if that was the case though.
+Karen Johansen Thank you for watching, and I am happy to know you enjoyed it. I plan on visiting the area a few more times to look further down the creek bed and in a few mine shafts / tunnels to see what i can find. I will also update on what I find on the cassette tape. Thank you for the support. :-)
+Explore With Us I am really happy that you are going to continue with this, who knows, you might solve the case. Really looking forward to seeing more videos about this place and see what you might uncover.
+Karen Johansen For anyone reading this, be sure to check out Karen's new videos!
Thank you for the plug, but they are not that good, so don't be too disappointed lol
I have to wonder if someone buried her underneath where her car was parked? Also, when they found her car were the keys in it? After the car was checked over was anything mechanically found to be wrong with it?
The car was in good working order with a 1/2 tank of fuel. I am not sure if the keys were in it. The only problem were the tires were scuffed up.
The car was found by hunters in a ravine below the main road of the Seven Troughs turnoff. It looked like it was deliberately driven offroad.
you have a new subscriber, love your vidējos! Keep up the good work! And stay safe.
Thank you Skyler. :-)
yes indeedy! prayers to you all oxox Wow, most disturbing on so many levels ugh….. Praying for Nan & loved ones & seen these vids that are posted, shocked at the very least to see my beloved, fun, loving, amazing grand parents & uncle arts names mentioned… I’m in my 50’s now & grew up enjoying there tender loving care, if you all only new my precious loving Family, it would never ever cross your mind of a maybe implicated murder. My grand parents Harry & Lula Leighton so genuine, God loving, NOT self righteous, tenderhearted, caring folks always full of love and laughter , hospitality to all. Very talented, humble, beautiful souls. They never ever had a bad word to say about anyone. Would cook for everyone, & enjoyed sharing there gold mine like a bed and breakfast cabin inn. Harry & Lula love everyone!!!! & soooo loved their little puppy dog nugget, he was an adorable blonde Chihuahua like my pups I have lol. They made Porcelain figuring’s & Santa Christmas mugs for hot chocolate etc lovely things, they’d sell some & give away some too! BIG giving hearts to everyone not just us family members. They loved the simplicity of a simple life, wanted no t.v.’s , used an outhouse, had a generator , candle lit evenings etc… so humble, peaceful precious folks my grandparents Harry & Lula Leighton. There cabins in Nevada were well taken care of , cozy & full of love & laughter. Extremely giving generous souls they were, praying folks as I am to this day as well, we’d always give grace & enjoy braking bread over a great home cooked meal & fun loving conversation & always ice cream after dinner, yes & yum! Many memorable memories of them coming to visit us in southern calif for the Holidays , giving thanks & eating delicious meals together. My beautiful grandmother Lulu would share natural healing remedies with veggie foods for health & beauty, especially because my lovely grand Mother Lula who was a sweet tiny itsy bitsy thing, and a American Indian, Irish & English Lady Loved the Lord , family, friends and natural nutrition , as I do too. Her pretty scent was lavender, use kiddos would say Grandma smells like purple lol, we didn’t know at the time it was called lavender lol. And my adorable Grandpa Harry who was much like curly from the 3 stooges, always loved to make us kiddos giggle. He would tell us interesting & funny stories of the tall red hair giant Indians that were found in the Nevada mountains. You can google info. Well honestly folks I can go on and on about my fun, loving memorable memories lol, yet I will close for now with one last thought, about my Uncle Art , he was a great fun uncle & babysitter; he’d make us kiddo’s root beer floats! So much love & laughter always with them & over many of years….

Thank you for your response! Yes I am Mona's cousin. Harry and Lula Leighton were my loving grandparents and Art Leighton was my loving Uncle. Yes, If I can have your email and I will send you more information about their character. Thank you, have a great evening! OD Prz
Whatever you do, don't post your email on here, but if you can send me a message on here by going to my channel, about, and click on the contact me, you will be able to send me an email. I have spent the last 9 months looking for Nan and trying to find her remains. But I have recently decided to take a step back and am currently no longer involved with the search. I would love to hear more from you.
I love your videos nothing like that Logan kid person Jake Logan. I do love videos.thank you for trying to help these familys.
You should bring a tape measure with you and measure the length and width of those bones you find and that would probably sufficient enough to show the PD if you find something worth them taking a look into.
Wow! I live only 2 hours away from where the car was found!
Keep exploring, enjoying your videos very much.
Thank you Paula Martin, I appreciate it! :-)
What kind of camera do you use that's not your drone? Also, I love these videos I wish I could explore more places like this myself.
I was thinking there is a part like at 8:25 or so those rocks on the side looks like someone put up a makeshift wall. I don't know I know that you said at one point you stopped looking but, just in case, it's a thought.
Really, REALLY, WAAAAY COOL! Thank you!!!
+Robin Blue Thank you again, I always appreciate your support, means a lot to me.
That mine would be a good place to dump a body, especially past that collapse, or maybe in that side tunnel. Do you know if anyone went further in?
I am not sure, but I plan on going back and over that little back fill just to see what's back there.
Not to nitpick, but could maybe put the papers and things you find back in there place next time? They've been there an awful long time til you tossed them about.
Still, love the videos.
That looks like a perfect place to 'hide' a car. I believe someone knew that area well and decided that the best place to hide a car would be down in that little low spot. As you panned the camera from where the car was found, there is low visibility. It was out of sight from afar. This spot is far also enough away from the house that she was supposed to be heading to, that this would have created an illusion of separation - the car being far enough from the house to avoid suspicion. But it's not so far from the house that someone would have to be explaining 'where they went' during the time they ditched that car and made it back home. The sight of the car was staged - or - someone actually spent time there waiting for someone to pick them up and bring them home. Stuff was strewn about the car to try and be a diversion for anyone who might want to investigate once the car was located. Also, even though 'she walked everyday', I don't think an elderly person would have been able to get very far from that car, especially if they'd spent so much time there - given the steeper slopes around it. I think she should have been found as she likely couldn't have gone far enough. My imaginative mind could speculate all these things... but I'm having a hard time ignoring those coincidences. She met with fowl play somewhere else and the car was ditched way over here. Very sad to think about this. I wish all the family wellness and healing.
Love the story. What about the stones that are fit together at the beginning of your video? Could they be headstones? You both are so awesome
Great exploration bro!!
+Curacao Life [Urban Explorations] Thank you.
I am addicted to your show you are very brave. I Love your murder mystery maybe you should pay attention to names written on walls Iget a strong feeling there was a lot of torture in those places. I watch you when I wake up almost all day till I go to sleep
Thank you Samantha. 🙂👍👍
Just throwing this out there: Interstate 80 shall go down as the number one interstate in America that can possibly be connected to multiple murders. If you want hauntings, travel I-80 in Utah, Northern Nevada and parts of Northern California. For many years the unusual concentration of found bodies, abandoned cars, and the like have been found. Thus, adding all the murders and disappearances it is highly likely Dixon might have been subject to this. Many authorities believe there have been multiple serial killers based at I-80. I suggest looking into it. Also, what happened to Dixon lines up with what happened to others.
thank you, for the video, pero tengo mas preguntas que repuestas....you did great job.
youv got a flickering orb in the mine, left hand side. against the wall at about 530.
if you put a : between the numbers, it will show up in blue on comments.
On 6:21 you see another orb
Red Roo Cool!! Thanks for the tip!! 😄👏
There are some creepy things , me and my cousin's found when we went exploring the camp area , but were spooked from creepy voices !!!!
Looked like a purse ( or something like one) back at cave discovery and walk thru...time 7:50? There had been a cave in and a stack of rock was on your left side in a small cove. It looked to be about 3 feet back.
OMG...did you see that orb...it went right in front of you...and that black shadow on the left when you shined the light...it was like peaking around the corner...omg...!!!
do you happen to know what kind of landmarks Nan was supposed to be looking for? You know, like when someone tells you after the gas station turn right, but in the terms of the area? also, they said black tape was used to make the lines on the old photo, do you think that's how the electrical tape got there? le can be pretty messy
5:26-5:33 left hand side, when he focus his light to see down the tunnel, light dot moves sporadically...
looks like that mine is delibetly blocked. Nice video, nice theme aswel, wil she ever be found ? too many places too hide something i think.
+rolf sinkgraven Yeah, they like to do that with mines, they put up a fence with some little slogan to try and keep people out. Thanks for watching and your continued support. Hope you are doing well my friend.
5:43 those boards are secured by what are called rock bolts sometimes over a foot long drilled into the unstable rock and still a technology used to this day except they now are called chemical bolts as they have resin that goes of and locks them in place
at 6:19 there's a orb that comes out from the left side of the wall and flies off camera. I heard that if there's water nearby, its a conduct of energy for sprits to manifest
6:21 We have an orb !!! love your vids thanks
+kirsten aven Thank you. :-)
+kirsten aven I saw it too!
At minute 6:21 seconds there is an orb, which some paranormal experts believe to be spirits fly from the upper left down towards the lower right and then disappear, so a paranormal presence could be there depending on what YOU believe
Well gee the entrance to that mine shaft doesnt look dangeroous at all.
that's sad what happend to Nan. But it's just to difficult to determine in this present day, wild life was probably more in that location back in the 70's. She was probably murdered but for what??? The poor lady was in her 70's
This is a place I would love if you guys checked out; Centralia, Pennsylvania!!
Please it would be awesome!! ♡♡
I just stumbled across your channel at 2am this morning and can't stop watching xD
On our to do list for sure, thank you so much for the support. :-)
Explore With Us Yay!! haha, I've always wanted to go to Centralia. And no problem, :3 glad I stumbled across your channel
I am near Centralia...nothing there to really see anymore...homes are all torn down and taken back by mother nature and graffiti highway is off limits and patrolled by police.
I am not trying to discourage you from going to Centralia, with the way you investagate, you may come up with something new. That being said, there have been many books and videos done on this place. Check out the Wandering woodsman and jpvideo to name a few.
I hope you kept those items. With todays technology they can pull audio off that cassette as long as it isn't too damaged.
Yes, I still have it, any ideas where I could send it? 🙂
This was scary. I'm so claustrophobic 🤯
Did you see that the newspapers had a postal stamp on them. The second one looked to be in good shape and very legible.
the polaroid film cartridge could have been from the police photographing the area
I thought the same thing until I talked with a friend of mine in law enforcement. He said there was no way they would contaminate possible crime scene by leaving it there. Who knows though, maybe they didn't care. I am sure it happens all the time.
This isn't really related to Nan Dixon - but the newspaper you found...
"Our top match for Roe Craig was an individual named Roe M Craig. He lived in Chico, CA, 95926 and passed away (y 2003) at the age 89 years old."
Hopefully Mr. Craig is at rest; you found his newspapers.
Who knows how in the world he ended up there in that mineshaft in 1980... but he made it out alive.
Y'all saw what appears to be a Long Eared Owl! Thats so freaking cool! The bones you found in the cave looked to gave had pellets nearby too, meaning that beautiful bird lives there. Man I'm jealous
Did you see the orb float up at 6:20??
Geoff Jacobs totally saw that orb crazy
I love these video's thanks guys. I seriously get stuck watching y'alls videos and next thing I know it's like 5 am and I started at like midnight lol 😂 thanks again great videos. Haha you do say old allot
Wow, that was a good one. If you watch his video "ABANDONED Haunted Horton Mine Tunnel CREEPY Sounds Captured Inside" you can see an orb come up from behind him at 10:58. It comes up from the lower right side, is more faint than the one in this video but still looks very much like an orb.
That gives me the chills
Is there a part 4 coming? Probably burned and scattered throughout. Sadly it's about the💰The suicide letter in the write-up seems rather forced and a stretch. My opinion
Maybe some of the items you found near where Nan's car was found were from the searchers or police who probably searched the area for Nan.
+piperlynne1 Yeah, I think you are probably correct. I can't wait to get that tape and see what is on it. I will make a video of the repair and first play.
