Ghost Stories (1984)
““You know,” Joe said suddenly to his brother, “we’re not far from Flaming Rock.”
“Flaming Rock?” Frank asked, puzzled.
“Remember the article we read some time ago about the town that just vanished one day?”
“Oh, yes!” Frank exclaimed. “It was built around a silver mine, in the mountains, a couple of hundred miles from any settled community.”
“Right. The mine was discovered during the Civil War and the heyday of Flaming Rock was between 1863 and 1875. Then the town began to disappear in stages.”...
“I remember,” Frank said. “First the people vanished. A prospector, half-mad from hunger and thirst, staggered into Tucson and reported that he had passed through Flaming Rock and found all the people gone.”
“It wasn’t that they had packed up and moved out in an orderly manner.” Joe took up the story. “They left everything behind. Furniture and clothing remained in the houses. Food on stoves was still warm when the prospector arrived. Everything was as it should have been, except there was no sign of life.”MoreLess
