Haunting History of the Southwest
Disclaimer: This blog post enlisted the help of Copilot, the Microsoft AI Companion Arizona: Tombstone Tombstone, Arizona, famously known as "The Town Too Tough to Die," is steeped in Wild West history and ghostly lore. Founded in 1879 during the silver boom, it quickly became a bustling town filled with miners, outlaws, and lawmen. The infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in 1881, involving Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the Clanton-McLaury gang, cemented its place in history.

It’s like being the Doctor; instead of saving galaxies, I’m just trying to save myself from making poor life decisions—like wearing socks with sandals.
