Haunted Trails, Including White Sands

A top ten piece on haunted hiking places. Usually I think of haunted buildings, cemeteries, but hiking trails is a new location to think about. Why not? There are haunted areas, sans buildings (Horton, Oregon is one such place, in my experience), forests, such as the Hoia-Baciu Forest in Romania,  and of course, this item immediately brings to mind the research David Paulides has done with missing people in rural areas, including our national parks.

White Sands of course is the place of many a weird encounter, including contactee Daniel Fry's experiences. Fry wrote The White Sands Incident and They Rode in Space-Ships, which can be downloaded for free.
