Enchanted Legends and Lore of New Mexico: Witches, Ghosts & Spirits

New Mexican author Ray John de Aragón explores the time-honored tradition of frightening folklore in Enchanted Legends and Lore of New Mexico: Witches, Ghosts & Spirits, an intriguing collection of tales that crosses cultures in the dark corners of the southwestern night.

Beginning in the seventeenth century, townsfolk and rural dwellers in the remote Spanish colonial city of Santa Fe maintained a provocative interest in mysterious and miraculous visions. This preoccupation with the afterlife, occult forces and unearthly beings existing outside the natural world led to early witch trials, stories about saintly apparitions and strange encounters with spirits and haunted places.
