Red owns the Goldfield Hotel. He came down from his ranch to unlock the doors at the Goldfield Hotel for a film crew that was there to film ghosts. The GH is a notable haunt. I had a Kodak Pocket Brownie with some 70mm Starburst instrumentation film loaded. Everything was guess and handheld.
Ghosts and having to unlock the place? Sounds like he might have found a frozen Jack Nicholson and an axe if he'd arrived in the snowy season. The figure, shadows and the light give it atmosphere.
