Is Elephant Mountain B-52 site haunted?

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

The record — long form

Elephant Mountain is the B-52 — the '63 crash that killed 7, the tail that was torn off. The Adler was the miracle — the ejection without the parachute, the seat that saved him. The Bulli was the tree — the 30 feet that he dangled, the -29 degrees that he survived.

The debris is the acres — the wreckage that's still there, the memorial that's the living. The cold was the enemy — the training mission that was routine, the turbulence that was the cause. Elephant Mountain is the Cold War's — the Stratofortress that's the wreck, the 7 who are honored.

The file keeps Elephant Mountain: the 1963 crash, the 7 dead, the Adler ejection, and the debris field.

Elephant Mountain is the archive's Greenville file — the B-52 wreck.
