Item #199

Ghost Tales of Cripple Creek, Chas Clifton, 1993, photos, 28 pp. $3.95

This delightful pamphlet-sized book skillfully blends history and modern ghost stories, demonstrating how thin the line between past and present in this Gold Rush town. I loved the story about the Madam's two funerals.

Item #774

Ghosts of Trinidad and Las Animas County, F. Dean Sneed, 2002, art, map, 76 pp $10.00

Outstanding collection of “supernatural narratives, bizarre personal accounts, and eerie recollections” from folks in Trinidad and Las Animas County, Colorado. The author has done a superlative job of capturing each teller’s voice. The majority of the book is “it-happened-to-me” ghost stories, which is what makes it so appealing. The dusty image of a ghost car, floating balls of fire to lead the unwary astray, the tall man who walked through fences. The eerie cry of La Llorona.

Item #732

Something in the Wind, Spirits, Spooks and Sprites of the San Juan, MaryJoy Martin, 2001, photos., biblio, 186 pp $18.95

By the author of Twilight Dwellers, this book tells of some of the gold-rush ghosts who continue to seek their fortune in San Juan County, Colorado. Audrie Ford, madam of the Pick & Gad, still drops by her old bordello. Horse thief Bill Thomas is seen leading a ghostly sorrel into the twilight. Highland Scotty hauntingly plays his bagpipes in the mountains around Marshall Basin. From the wailing woman of Hispanic tradition, La Llorona to the wailing banshees imported by Irish pioneers, you’ll find “something” in the wind wherever you roam in San Juan.

Item #201

Twilight Dwellers: Ghosts, Gases and Goblins of Colorado, MaryJoy Martin, 1985, photos., biblio, 192 pp $16.95

From Native Americans to prospectors, from genteel lady ghosts to lynched scoundrels--you'll find all of Colorado's legendary ghosts in this exceptionally well-written book. "Resurrection and Wrath"--a creepy tale of how the resurrection day came unexpectedly for the residents of Denver's City Cemetery. Or the tale of the murdered barber whose rotting corpse returned to whisper in a ghastly, choked voice. Or the misty Indian village seen over and over at Big Sandy Creek, where the women and children of the village were massacred by Col. Chivington and his Colorado Volunteers.
