The Hemingford Herald of 24th April 1896 reports cowboy Joe Healy, driving cattle near Guide Rock, Nebraska, encountered a ghost, and emptied all six rounds from his pistol into it, with no effect. There have been many such sightings since. Not coincidentally, perhaps, is the fact that the rock is sacred to the Pawnee as Pa-hur or Pahur, one of five dwelling places of spirit animals with miraculous powers.
