The history of the old west is littered with tales of bloodthirsty outlaws, renegade cattle barons, gunfights, lost treasure and ghost towns, but in his latest book, author and researcher John Lemay takes us on a tour of its most notorious and some would say frightening ghostly legends. 

From the spirit of Billy the Kid and the legends surrounding his supposed survival, to the ever wandering spirit of La Llorona, a ghostly steer who's very presence seems to foretell bad luck and misfortune to a gruesome hanging and a forgotten murder spree, Lincoln County is full of the supernatural.
