The Fantasma Colorado (Spanish for "Red Ghost") was first seen in 1883. This is a strange phantom that is a huge red camel with a human
corpse tied to it's hump. It most often visited prospectors and settlers, but it is still seen in the area. The U.S. Army introduced camels to this area in 1857, but that does not explain this horrifying phantom.

One notable death which might have led to this haunting was the accidental stabbing of one prostitute while these two miners were arguing.
