The Red Ghost of Arizona (Rewind)

A terrifying red-haired beast stalks the Arizona desert. Witnesses claim it carries a corpse on its back. Some believe it's a ghost. Others think it's a monster. The truth is somehow even stranger.

In this listener-favorite episode, Shea and Jody unravel the legend of the Red Ghost of Arizona, one of the Wild West's most bizarre mysteries. What begins as a frontier ghost story leads to a real-life tale involving feral camels, a forgotten U.S. Army experiment, and a mummified rider whose identity remains unsolved more than a century later.

Discover the surprising history of the U.S. Army Camel Corps, meet the legendary camel driver Hi Jolly, and learn why camels once roamed the American Southwest. Along the way, you'll encounter frontier folklore, strange sightings, military history, and one haunting mystery that still has no answers.
