The Old West in America is filled with stories about cowboys and Native Americans and outlaws and lawmen. This was a time when a man could die in the streets with his boots on or at the poker table holding the Dead Man's Hand: a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. Cimarron, New Mexico was a prominent place in the Old West and the St. James Hotel was built there in 1872. Cimarron was a wild town that played host to a veritable who's who of old west gunmen, lawmen, gangs and famous performers like Buffalo Bill Cody. The hotel itself was witness to at least twenty-six deaths. And now the hotel seems to be playing host to spirits. The hotel is reputed to be quite haunted with at least seven identified spirits. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the St. James Hotel!
