Description:

Here is the quintessential roadside attraction - filled with fake aliens and UFOs and plenty of conspiracy theories. The main attraction is "The Thing" which is actually a mummified corpse of a person who died in the 1800s and was preserved by the dry heat of the desert climate. Based on the bone structure and the clothing the body most likely belonged to a female Chinese railroad worker - which makes The Thing more tragic than mysterious.
