lights coming from as well as sounds. "I thought there were a bunch of
kids goofing off" claimed one camper. "It sounded like a party with
music, lots of people talking and gunfire." Later this camper
discovered the only other people in the area were three adult campers
and a border collie.
Ruidoso Downs - Hale Lake - Eyewitnesses
report many strange activities in Hale Lake Just outside of Ruidoso
Downs. It is said that this is where a Settler, Indian dispute first
took place. If you go there at night be sure to take friends. As you
drive up the radio the heater and anything electrical will not work on
your car. Be prepared to stay the night. If you drive down in the
middle of the night the brakes on your car will not work. There is not
a lake there, but rather a small pond. Many people have claimed to see
faces in their campfires. Other reports include War Paint on their
vehicles. Vehicles dieing in the middle of the night, and starting up
in the morning with nothing apparently wrong with them. Illuminated
Gates have been seen, as well as many reports of a man wearing all
leather on horseback that many have thought they run over only to look
back as the dust cleared to see him in their rearview mirror. The
dreams that people have while camped there are probably the most
interesting aspect of the whole place though.
Santa Fe - The
College of Santa Fe - One ghost in
particular paces in the shadows late at night. Another prominent ghost
on campus is that of a decapitated nurse during WWII. The campus was an
insane asylum during this time, and a post-war inmate snapped and cut
off a nurse's head. She has been seen walking in the hallways, which
now lead to the cafeteria. Ask the students, they can tell you, and the
whole college is haunted.
Santa Fe - Grant
Corner Inn - Rooms 4 and 8 and the
hallway on the second floor are the primary haunting sites in this
three- story house built in 1905. Objects falling on the floor,
footsteps, and slamming doors are among the usual fare. There is also a
grayish figure that appears in the hallway.
Santa Fe - The
Heritage Home - an old
turn-of-the-century site where criminals were hung from the large
cottonwood in front of the building. The tree's limbs have long since
been cut down, however the shadows of the limbs are still casting on
moonlit nights.
Santa Fe - La
Fonda Hotel - The present dining room in
this lovely old hotel is situated exactly over an old well, in which a
man leapt to his death over 100 years ago. He had lost his company's
money gambling. Guests in the dining room sometimes report seeing a man
walk to the center of the room and then jump as if into an invisible
hole and simply disappear.
Santa Fe - La
Posada Hotel - the ghost of Julie Stabb
is seen on the 2nd floor.
Santa Fe - The
Old Hospital Building downtown - Located
downtown, the hospital was originally established as a sanitarium for
victims of tuberculosis. It was the main hospital until the early 1980s
when a new building was built. Until recently, it served as a nursing
home. On the 4th floor, which originally served as the maternity ward,
sounds of crying babies floated through the halls. There are reports of
a child running through the halls as well.
Santa Fe - Santa
Fe Indian school - The dorms are known to
be haunted.. at night you can see people being hung in the shadows, and
hear screaming
Truth or Consequences - The Hospital, located at 800 E. 9th St. - Ask any hospital employee that has worked at Sierra
Vista Hospital for any length of time, especially if they worked a
night shift and they will tell you about a paranormal experience they
have had . This is an old hospital built in the early 1950`s and as a
result tends to have a lot of sightings. Nurses will tell you that they
will hear the sound of a baby crying a day before a baby will be
delivered. There have been numerous times night shift staff will see
ghosts out of the corner of their eye only to disappear when they turn
to get a better look. Beds have raised and lowered by themselves
without anyone at the helm operating the bed. Linen closet doors would
open on their own as one would pass by. When the hospital first opened
nuns operated it and would cook brownies for the patients. The nuns are
long gone and do not work in the hospital any more, however their have
been several sightings of the nuns cooking in the little kitchen area
in the hall on the second floor. Also once in a while the smell of
brownies cooking can be detected, but no one is cooking! A new hospital
is scheduled to be built soon.

Ranch - An old ranch house used for the
"Pony Express" during the 1800's.Residents of the house have awoken to

man in a wagon with horse riding over a hill outside the window, when
inspected the field over the hill was empty, also cold spots near fire
place even when fire place is being used.
