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!’

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...
