3.0 out of 5 stars Be Aware, November 9, 2001
By A Customer
This book is only 105 pages long (not the stated 128 pages); the type is very large and it is printed on cheap paper (nice cover though). You'll have to be really interested in Philmont if you want to believe you've gotten your money's worth. good stories.

1.0 out of 5 stars not that good, October 28, 2003
By A Customer
Mr. Connelly's self-professed "research" was all of 3 weeks, and it shows. The stories do not reflect the wealth of stories at Philmont. Additionally, when did Penitentes give up their centuries old legacy of Hispanic heritage and become Native Americans? Too many errors and slipshod production make this book one not worth having.
There's a far better volume published in 2003 by a former staff member.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Reading
This book covers a vast array of Philmont ghost stories. I don't know whether they are true or made-up, but the book reminded me of a Urraca campfire.
