In that spirit, the authors dug deep into the recesses of Old West-era newspapers to unearth horrifying accounts of terror in the mines. In Arizona, thrill to stories of a wraith in Tombstone's Bronco Mine, then brave the spirits that guard the Muerta Mine near Marfa, Texas. In Oklahoma, hear the fierce cries of the screaming ghosts of Snake Creek and run from the Headless Horseman that guards a gold cache in the Kiamichi Mountains. Exhume the grave of a dead Colorado miner thought to have been a vampire and escape the hellhounds that roam Nevada's El Dorado Canyon. In New Mexico, heed the warnings of Tommyknockers in the coal mining town of Dawson, dare to search Montezuma's gold in a cave inhabited by a titanic rattlesnake in Apache Canyon, and watch an army of undead warriors defend a lost mine near Shiprock. Also included are paranormal tales of miners and prospectors witnessing floating cities, escaping monstrous creatures, and even sighting what may have been UFOs! </span></p>
