Miners Killed in Explosion - Abandoned Black Bear Gold Mine Claim

Join us as we explore the abandoned Black Bear Mine, a historic abandoned gold mine dating back to the 1890s hidden deep within Western Washington’s rugged landscapes. This site isn’t just known for its rich history and breathtaking views; it’s also home to some of the most incredible artifacts from the mining era. In 1897, a tragic explosion claimed the lives of two miners here, leaving behind a tale of loss and mystery. This mine stands out among our explorations, as it’s the only place where we’ve encountered strange, unexplainable events. Although we typically steer clear of paranormal claims, the eerie experiences we had here left us questioning: could the Black Bear Mine be haunted? This video marks the first time we’ve ever hinted at anything supernatural, simply because of the mysterious vibes surrounding this place. Join us on this unforgettable journey into the past and perhaps… the unexplained." THE MAJORITY OF THE MINE NAMES ARE WITHHELD OR ALTERED IN OUR VIDEOS TO PROTECT HISTORIC ARTIFACTS AND PREVENT THE SITE FROM BECOMING A NUISANCE SITE. IN SOME CASES, WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED PRIVATE PROPERTY PERMISSION AND WE HAVE BEEN ASKED NOT TO DISCLOSE LOCATIONS. Many ghost towns, mines and other forgotten historic sites in Washington State have already disappeared from history and many more are being lost each year to the ravages of time, wildfire, vandalism, and intentional closure. In addition to our many years of photographic documentation of these important historic sites we are now attempting to video document as many sites as we can so there is a lasting record of these places for future generations. We hope you enjoy what we do and will join us on our adventures through a bygone era of Washingtons rich history. Not only do we love the history we explore and document, but we truly enjoy sharing these sites and experiences with our followers and viewers.
