Enchanted legends and lore of New Mexico: Witches, ghosts & Spirits Print Enchanted legends and lore of New Mexico witches, ghosts & holy spirits Ray John de Aragon - Charleston, SC History Press 2012. - 107 p. ill. ; 23 cm. Paperback book

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 being existing outside the natural world led to early witch trials, stories about saintly apparitions and strange encounters with spirits and haunted places, presented in this intriguing collection of tales that cross cultures in the dark corners of the southwestern night.
