TERERRO, N.M. —

Isolated deep in the Santa Fe National Forest, the Holy Ghost Campground is known for its unsettling tales passed down through generations, making some visitors uneasy upon arrival.

Ed and Sara Slather from the Duke City Paranormal Research Society have investigated the stories surrounding the campground, which date back to the 17th century. The tales include a Catholic priest who is said to haunt the area.

"There's a priest. That is in the woods there in the trees," one person said.

Another added, "There's also some more recent stories about some real terrible accidents that were up there that the spirits are hanging."

The stories include two versions: one where the priest killed Pueblo Indians, and another where the Indians killed him in rebellion against colonists.
