Podcasts about death valley junction

A forgotten town. A derelict theater. A woman destined to bring it back to life. In 1967, Broadway dancer Marta Becket found herself stranded in Death Valley Junction, a near-ghost town on the Nevada-California border. What she discovered there would change her life—and perhaps, extend it beyond death. She poured her soul into the Armagosa Opera House, bringing art and life to the abandoned stage. But does she still dance there in spirit? Join Anne & Renata as they uncover the spectral echoes of Marta Becket and the lingering ghosts of the Armagosa Opera House.

If you were thinking about creating a movie situated in a remote, dusty, one horse town complete a really freaky story, you couldn't do better than what led to the creation of the Amaragosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction, situated along the Nevada-California border in the USA.In 1967, Marta Becket, a former Broadway dancer, headed out West with her husband on a one-woman tour. In Death Valley, their aptly-named Covered Wagon travel trailer blew a tire. The nearest settlement was thirty miles away.They limped into Death Valley Junction, population 20. It looked like a ghost town. The square was dominated by an rundown hotel and the abandoned workers' flats of a defunct borax mining company. But it had a gas station, thank goodness. With a hand crank telephone. In 1967.It also had a derelict community theater. While her husband Tom repaired the tire, Marta wandered over to the theater. She peered through a tiny hole in the back door.“As I peered through that tiny hole,” Marta Becket later wrote, “I had the distinct feeling that I was looking at the other half of my life. The building seemed to be saying, ‘Take me. Do something with me. I offer you life.'”Marta Becket created something so unique that it brings hundreds of tourists from all over the world to this dust out of the way ghost town.One ghost we know for sure MUST haunt this place is Marta herself.She poured she soul into this place and we are sure that she still dances on the small stage at the Armagosa Opera House.We would ask that you leave us a review and if you haven't done so yet please SUBSCRIBE.Send us a message as we would love to hear from you.Leave us feedback or a message with what you think is going on here on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastIf you have enjoyed this episode please leave us a review and subscribe and share.We would love to hear from you too!Join us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Bobbi Fabian's first experience with desert was with the Warner Brothers Roadrunner cartoon. Growing up in Melbourne Australia, Bobbi made her way to America looking for more opportunities as a photographer, finding she felt more at home  in the U.S. than in her home country. Bobbi moved to the U.S. in 2003, settling in Los Angeles. With an MA in Photography Bobbi was a freelance photographer and educator for most of her working life – commissioned by brands like Timex, Penguin Books, Audi and other household names.   On a road trip through America, while working on a project, she and a friend made a point to go through Death Valley and Joshua Tree. Staying at the Amargosa Hotel, they felt so at home, they decided to meet there every Christmas following that visit.   Bobbi's friend was unable to make it to their annual holiday in 2014 and Bobbi decided to go anyway . There she met a women and her friend who had moved to Death Valley Junction to perform Mara Becket’s original (dance) pieces.  During that trip, Bobbi sensed good things would be happening in Death Valley Junction and decided to make another trip back sooner than her annual holiday visit.   It was February 2015 and the Opera House was having a special event dinner and performance celebrating Valentines Day. The Dancer and her friend, charged with making dinner for the patrons, had gotten into an argument. Bobbi stepped in to help the friend finish the dinner preparations. The following morning, he told her the Cafe was in need of management and Bobbi should consider taking the job. Bobbi dismissed the idea, but couldn't let go of the thought the entire ride back to Los Angeles.   A month later, Bobbi was back in Death Valley Junction sharing her ideas for the Cafe with Marta Becket, who said yes to all of them. On June 10, 2020, Bobbi celebrated five years in Death Valley Junction.   In this episode Bobbi also shares some of the history of Death Valley Junction, how dancer Marta Becket came to be the caretaker of the town and how this place with 268 acres, population 3, survives today.   Now, as the general manager of the Cafe, Hotel and Opera House, with the support of the non-profit's Board of Directors, Bobbi describes her day to day: working in and hiring for the cafe, overseeing the maintenance for all three buildings as well as sharing the history of the Junction with it's curious visitors.   We also talk about Death Valley National Park, what drew her in so closely to that part of the desert and her disappointment with folks who treat the desert as a wasteland.   There are a number of videos available on YouTube telling a deeper story about Marta, her journey to Death Valley and her revitalization of the Amargosa Opera House. Just google 'Amargosa YouTube' or check out the documentary 'Amargosa' available online. It was such a documentary that inspired Desert Lady Diaries guest, Shana Rhodes, to make her own move to the desert.   Take a look at Bobbi's photography here: www.bobbifabian.com   Visit the Amargosa website:  http://www.amargosaoperahouse.org/   And, if you can and are so moved, please donate to the go fund me campaign to help the non-profit maintain the property during this time of Covid-19 closures:   https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/amargosaoperahouse

Recorded out and about on a phone, I head out to Death Valley Junction to make a time-lapse, ignore a celebrity, and try to find my purpose. Again.

We do some hard traveling over the Mojave looking for that sweet shortcut to the Land of Milk & Honey. There may be some hardscrabble miners chasing little space aliens from a crashed UFO, knowing the way things go out here. Support the show.

We take a weird road trip to Death Valley Junction, meeting astronauts, film crews, a Czech composer & other odd characters along the desert highway. Support the show.
