Have you ever heard of any haunted lost treasure stories?

Question

In California, Arizona, New Mexico or Nevada specifically or anywhere else?

Answer 1

Yeah. There are a number of them.

Answer 2

Not a treasure or haunted, in the general sense of the words. Alot of history happened in the Treasure valley and Owyhee country. Alot of history most people in this area aren't even aware of. The treasure is a huge brass cannon used by the cavelry out of old fort Boise against the native Americans who took refuge out in the Owyhee Breaks(Bad lands that today have still not been fully explored). After defeating the cavelry, The natives dumped the cannon in a natural pit, and put a curse on it so it could never be found and used against them again. It is still out there to this day. People have run onto it while out deer hunting and such but no matter how well they map their way back, they can never find it a second time. There was an old Basque sheep herder, spent his life out in the Breaks. He knew the Breaks like the back of his hand. He knew where it was. Some businessmen out of Portland Or. made arrangement to meet with him and he'd show it to them. He died 2 days before the meeting. That happened while I lived in the little town where he died.

The Pretty Little Liars series is great, it has romance and sort-of mystery. The Private series are also very juicy. Try Meg Cabot, my favorites from her are: Pants on Fire, How to Be Popular, Avalon High, and Jinx. The Mediator series are also very good. Try the Princess Diaries too. It's not at all like the movies. If you haven't already, try the Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants. These are really good, and realistic. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is fantastic. It isn't realy romance, but you should definetly give it a try. Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen is very good. Things Change by Patrick Jones is also very good. It's a heavy read, and don't even bother if you don't like sad endings. Rachel Hawthorne is a decent writer if your looking for a light read. Her books include: Carribean Cruising, Snowed In, Island Girls (and Boys), The Boyfriend Leage. The Simon Romantic Comedies are also great for fun, easy reads. My favorite was A Novel Idea. Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage AMnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin are both great. You see things from a different perspective, The Georgia Nicholson series are laugh-out-loud funny. I read a book recently called "If I have a wicked stepmother, where's my prince?" I forgot the author, but I liked it. Maureen Johnson: Thirteen Little blue envelopes, Suite Scarlet. The Angels in Pink series. The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Compltely Lost It. [ This book was quite funny. I liked it a lot] Lost It by Kristen Tracy. Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr. This book was weird, but I loved it. Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty, and all the sequels. Bloom by Elizabeth Scott (I highly recomend all books by this author) All books by Scott Westerfield kind of make you look at life differently. I especially recomend the Uglies series and the Peeps series. Stargirl and Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli Nick and Norah's infinite playlist by Rachel Cohn. When It Happens by Susane Colasanti is great. It's one of my favorites. Jahnna N. Malcom: Perfect Strangers, Message in a Bottle, Mixed Messages, The Write Stuff, are all books that have something to do with letters. What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones (There's a sequel to this) Those are just the ones that I could think of from the top of my head. You could give Twilight a try, but it's not nearly as good as everyone says they are. Good luck finding books! :] P.S. sorry for editing so much, I just kept thinking of more and more books!

Answer 4

It is difficult to go anywhere in Florida and not learn about a local story of lost treasure and assorted hauntings, demons, spirits, or bad luck associated with the treasures. Wars, pirates, and hurricanes have dumped treasures here for centuries....:)

Treasure is still found along the Florida coast, rivers, and islands. Stories about found treasure dug up and moved by modern day hunters continue as well.

I believe I live in a treasure hunter's dream...;)

Answer 5

The Dutchman Mines in Arizona.

Answer 6

One of my all time favorites and a very well known haunted legend is the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine. It is certainly a haunted spot. Haunted by an unknown energy that has claimed the lives of many men. Is it haunted by the ghost of the Dutchman, Jacob Walz? Or is it haunted by the spirits of the countless men and women whose lives have been taken because of it? The answer is as mysterious as the location of the Lost Dutchman Mine itself.

Answer 7

Yes, lots of them usually at sea. But the one I want to tell you about is this one they have around where I live and they give you directions and clues and you find the treasure and then on to the next. Of course you don't take the treasure, just a picture of you with the treasure so the next person can go on a treasure hunt too. It is pretty cool and I want to do it this spring!!

Answer 8

I remember reading a book years ago called (I think) The Blue Bucket a tale about treasures burried by the people on the fated Meeks trail.

Answer 9

you would have to be 'living in a cave' to of not heard of the
" Lost Dutchman Mines". I would put it under haunted, since so many fools spent a lifetime looking for it,and most died in the desert searching for what I believe to be a practical joke !

Answer 10

Yes, I hear many from all over the world. I haven't experienced one....yet!
(I'm a treasure hunter)

Answer 11

Have heard of a few on the Great Lakes, and read about a few -- kind of the stuff fantasyland, dreamland is made of.
