Is Paint Rock 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

Paint Rock is the 10,000 — the 'continuously occupied' that's the Frison, the 'Paleo-Indian' that's the Crow. The '750 feet' is the cliff — the 'hundreds' that's the petroglyphs, the '2,000 years' that's the pictographs. The 'atlatls' is the pre-bow — the '1,500' that's the introduced, the 'shield warriors' that's the bear power.

The 'Wickwire' is the '67 — the '2 years' that's the absent, the 'wife sold' that's the ranch. The 'sheet music' is the historic — the 'violin' that's the settlers, the 'vandalism' that's the newer. Paint Rock is the layered — the '10,000 years' that's the occupied, the 'Medicine Lodge' that's the named.

The file keeps Paint Rock: the 10,000-year occupation, the 750-foot cliff, the atlatls, and the Wickwire.

Paint Rock is the archive's Wyoming file — the oldest gallery.

Why this file matters

Paint Rock is the archive's Wyoming file — the canyon's canvas.

A cliff keeps its layers — the file's suggestion being that Paint Rock's hold is the continuous: the '10,000 years' that's the occupied, the 'atlatls' that's the pre-bow, and the 'sheet music' that's the settlers.
