ghost story

It takes effort and dedication to uncover information - especially information that is buried deep, with few clues to go by. Nathan knows there was a woman named Ana. And Nathan knows that she probably spoke Spanish. He knows that the Observatory must play a part in why he's looking information up on her. He doesn't know much else.

It takes effort and dedication to uncover the information he's after. He finds a few scattered and occasionally questionable stories on the internet about the Observatory being haunted. He finds somebody's blog denverafterdeath.blogspot.com that has a haunting that sounds somewhat similar to the one he and his friends experienced. The blogger whose name seems to be Gregg claims that there is the ghost of a little Arapaho girl named Ana who sometimes appears before another entity, one more malevolent, appears. He writes that the malevolent entity sometimes brings blood and Imala seems to be looking for a woman named Inayat. If Nate e-mails him, he gets an auto-response to the effect that Gregg'll be away from his computer due to the holidays until January 7th.

Further digging will reveal a couple scattered and somewhat suspect rumours of ghosts in Observatory Park. One belongs to a man who was supposedly murdered by his brother for gold, buried in Observatory park before the Observatory was built. Another rumour says that Satanists did it, those who'd go on to found the Ku Klux Klan, and that the man was murdered at the end of the Civil War, when Denver was just a little frontier town. There's a story about a place that dogs go to die. They're found curled up again and again over the years, although there seems to be no evidence for this haunting at all.

Until Nate digs a little deeper, and he does find a couple of micro-film articles about three dogs dead in the park. Same spot. Different decades. He'd never notice them if he hadn't been looking, if he hadn't been sharp, if something hadn't grabbed his attention. The earliest article is from one of Denver's first 'papers,' and it's couched in language of the 1895, referring to a lost dog named Ana. Lost near Observatory Park? Doesn't say. That's a year before the Observatory was put up.

He'll also find a few comments on old forums for astronomy classes at DU that are of interest. Someone named Mandy refusing to go there if she has to go alone. Someone else named Alex who dares Kane to take his shift without peeing, and an obnoxious ghost buster gif following.
