Locals in Colorado Springs talk about the ghostly happenings inside the Gold Camp Road tunnels. Only two of the nine original tunnels are open today. According to the most recent legend a school bus full of children were traveling through a third tunnel when it collapsed. The driver and all the children on the bus were killed. Today, their unquiet little spirits linger around the tunnels. People have reported everything from tiny hand prints in the dust on their cars to being scratched and groped by unseen spirits. You can visit Atlas Obscura for more information or You Tube for ghost hunting videos.

According to this Texas legend, a young boy in the 1800’s became separated from a settlers’ caravan during a dark and stormy night, while the group was trying to escape the rising waters of a nearby creek.

Not being civilized, he avoided contact with people and terrorized anyone who dared entered his domain of the wooded area along what became known as Brushy Creek.
