Andy Gerhart has been collecting Philmont ghost stories for years, including his own encounters.  Andy shares two of these stories today - the first happened in 1994 at Cypher's Mine, and the second in 1992 at Crater Lake.  Lantern tricks, misplaced items, shadowy figures, and voices in the mine.  The rich Philmont history and Southwestern environment, paired with the power of the mind and imagination - kicks off our 2021 October tales mini-series.
