Purgatory Creek

Grandfather and grandkids hike at the Hell Creek Formation at sunset  Grandfather: After dark, you can sometimes see the spirits that haunt these hills  Unfulfilled in life, in death they wander until they find peace  Grandson: What kind of ghosts  Cowboys  Natives  Settlers  The ghosts of a pachycephalosaurus tyrannosaurus and torosaurus appear behind them  Grandfather: Mostly dinosaurs  Granddaughter: It's been sixty-five million years  Move on already
 
The Western U.S.A. is loaded to the brim with ghost stories of every kind.  Given that it's also home to many prominent fossil sites, including several at the famed Hell Creek Formation, I'm kind of surprised that I've not yet heard any stories concerning the wandering spirits of the less-recently-deceased.  Just imagine how much mileage you could get out of cowboys running into dinosaur ghosts.
