The American West remains a frontier of mystery and intrigue, filled with unsettled spirits from the past; Native Americans, traders, soldiers, and settlers; who haunt the beautiful but rugged land. Ghosts of the Old West retells the eerie encounters and paranormal activity from the Old West. You'll meet: a Civil War soldier who demands silence from tourists during his war-strategy meetings; La Llarona, the Weeping Woman, who roams the hills and valleys of the Spanish southwest; the Little People, sacred to the Crow but despised by other bands; and the Snake People; to this day feared by Native Americans.
