New Mexico L.O.W.F.I

I spent Halloween Evening in the little town of Madrid, NM.  Madrid is a great place to spend Halloween for many reasons, but chief among them — the ghosts.  Madrid is an old mining/ghost town.  In my photo I was actually trying to get a photo of the ghoul decoration hanging from the ceiling and I got all kinds of ghostly orbs too. :)  Shouldn’t be a surprise because the Mine Shaft is known to be haunted:

But the most haunted of all places in Madrid is said to be the Mine Shaft Tavern. Though it burned down on Christmas Day, 1944, Madrid’s town father, Oscar Huber, rebuilt the tavern for the many coal miners of the area. It reopened in 1947 and has been open ever since. Some remodeling of the old saloon was completed in 1982; however, no changes were made to its historic bar — the longest bar in New Mexico. Today, this historic saloon continues to serve the many visitors along the Turquoise Trail.

Staff as well as guests have often seen glasses fall from their perches and crashing to the floor in bits and pieces. Doors are often seen opening with unseen hands and swinging back and forth. From the six inch thick adobe walls, mysterious sounds are often heard and after closing hours, numerous objects and furnishings are moved about. However, the most unsettling reports are the stories told by staff of looking in the mirror and instead of seeing their own reflections, they see a ghost.
