Who killed Johnny Ringo? - by Wild West Josh
Next week I’ll be releasing an episode on noted gunman Johnny Ringo and his mysterious death. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, Johnny participated in the Hoodoo War in Texas before aligning himself with the Cochise County Cowboys in Arizona.
We’ll go over all the gritty details on the podcast, but I thought I’d share a photo with you.
Ringo’s lifeless body was found on a flat rock that had been placed in the bough of a large tree. His boots (and horse) were missing, as was a piece of his hair, and his cartridge belt was upside down. While the official cause of death was ruled as a suicide, there are many who believe Ringo was murdered.
Decades later Billy Breakenridge (likely the last person to see Ringo alive) visited the site and had his picture taken in the infamous tree.
Pretty weird photo, right? But did you see it?
Look a little closer, just above Billy’s head.
Creepy, huh? While I’m sure this is just a distortion caused by the film being developed, it kind of makes you wonder if Johnny was trying to tell Breckenridge something!
I’ll catch you tomorrow. Adios.
