Is Bonnie & Clyde ambush site haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

The ambush is the 167 — the bullets that the six lawmen fired, the 12 seconds that ended it. The Ford was the arsenal — the BARs and the shotguns, the saxophone that Clyde carried. The Methvins were the trap — the family that lured them, the Black Lake party that was the last.

The marker is the stolen — the '14 replacement that was taken, the '24 that replaced it. The museum is the Gibsland — the Ma Canfield's that's the site, the 'death car' that's the replica. The ambush is the '34 — the 9:15 that was the end, the lovers who never fired.

The file keeps the ambush: the 1934 site, the 167 bullets, the Methvin trap, and the marker.

Bonnie & Clyde is the archive's Gibsland file — the 12 seconds' end.
