Is Kirby / Hell’s Half Acre haunted?

The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed anecdotal. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Hell's Half Acre is the misprinted — the 'Devil's Kitchen' that's the ordered name, the 'postcards wrong' that's the accident's fix. The 'bison driven' is the used — the 'cliffs' that's the kill's tool, the 'tribes' that's the hunters' kind. The 'Klendathu' is the played — the 'Starship Troopers' that's the film's name, the 'alien planet' that's the badlands' role.

The 'Thunder Beast' is the dug — the 'Titanotherium' that's the skull's owner, the '30 million' that's the fossil's age. The 'kitchen renamed' is the kept — the 'too cheap' that's the printer's salvage, the 'name stuck' that's the error's life. Hell's Half Acre is the eroded — the 'spires' that's the wind's work, the 'ruins look' that's the illusion's form.

The file keeps Hell's Half Acre: the misprinted name, the driven bison, the played planet, and the dug beast.

Hell's Half Acre is the archive's Wyoming file — the badlands named by a printing error.

Why this file matters

Hell's Half Acre is the archive's Wyoming file — the Devil's Kitchen a printer renamed.

A badland keeps its error — the file's suggestion being that the acre's hold is the misprinted: the 'Devil's Kitchen' that's the intended name, the 'postcards' that's the error's carrier, and the 'Klendathu' that's the landscape's fame.
