Is La Posada 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

La Posada is the '30 — the Colter that's the masterpiece, the 'Spanish don' that's the invented. The $1M is the cost — the 'finest in Southwest' that's the aim, the '27 years' that's the open. The Affeldt is the '97 — the rescue that's the purchase, the 'gutted' that's the before.

The Harvey is the empire — the 'civilized the West' that's the service, the 'chicken stew' that's the before. The '57 was the close — the auction that's the furnishings, the 'living too long' that's the Colter quote. La Posada is the last — the Harvey House that's the surviving, the Route 66 that's the road.

The file keeps La Posada: the 1930 opening, the Colter fantasy, the '57 close, and the Affeldt rescue.

La Posada is the archive's Winslow file — the invented hacienda.
