The Ghost of George Dawes - Tombstone, Arizona

GGeorge Dawes was a resident of Tombstone Arizona back in the late 1800's. He fell in love with a young woman named Patra.  Believing she would never have him as a husband because he was poor, he went to work in the silver mines and spent 9 months saving enough money so that he could marry his love.

When George returned from the mines, he went out on the town with Patra and another couple they knew.  When the evening came to an end and it was time for the group to part ways, Patra left with the other man.  This was the ultimate form of rejection back in those days.  The next day, George was so distraught that he took a revolver and as he saw Patra pass by he shot her, then took his own life.  However, Patra recovered from her wounds and George did not.
