The Ghost of Prospector Road

Except for the mystery of the unexplained open door, everything
appeared to be as it should. That is, except for the dog. Hearing a
frightened yelp, they turned to find their pet huddled and trembling
in a corner of the room. Ruth hugged her husband as they looked
outside into the darkness. They could see nothing unusual Thus was the
family introduced to the ghost of Prospector Road.

This apparition is described by residents as attired in work clothing.
To those who are able to see him, he appears semi-transparent, tall
and craggy, sporting a beard. To those who cannot see him, he is a
pesky, annoying trickster. Most folk believe his purpose is to keep
people away from a claim he never recovered.
