Archive note: 2 claims in the record
Named Ghost LegendApparition

Is Ludlow 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

Ludlow is the '14 — the April 20 that's the attack, the 25 that's the dead. The 'death pit' is the 11 — the children who suffocated, the '2 women' that's the with them. The Rockefeller is the blame — the CF&I that's the company, the 'machine gun' that's the ridge.

The tents were the colony — the 1,200 that's the population, the 'kerosene' that's the torched. The Tikas was the truce — the 'shot' that's the negotiating, the '3 leaders' that's the killed. Ludlow is the blackest — the 'labor history' that's the Stegner, the '66' that's the total.

The file keeps Ludlow: the 1914 massacre, the death pit, the Rockefeller blame, and the 25 dead.

Ludlow is the archive's Colorado file — the labor's massacre.

Why this file matters

Ludlow is the archive's Colorado file — the tent colony's end.

A pit keeps its children — the file's suggestion being that Ludlow's hold is the pit: the '11 children' that's the suffocated, the 'kerosene' that's the torched, and the 'Rockefeller' that's the blame.

The account appears in 'Ludlow'. Named ghosts are the ones that last — this one has lasted.

AnecdotalApparition
