A reasonable solution has at last been given to the many mysterious happenings that have for a long time been reported from what is known as "the haunted glen," near Tombstone, Arizona.
This glen is about seven miles north of the town, and has long been looked upon as one of the greatest natural curiosities of the continent.
One of the most remarkable things is that when a person lies down in the glen he hears whispering of voices apparently close to his ear. "Sometimes he can hear words and at times get entire sentences.
An investigation by scientists has shown that the apparently mysterious happenings in the glen are due entirely to natural causes.
The peculiar construction of the glen brings the sounds from a certain ranch nearby into the place in the shape of whispers, as was proved by stationing a person at the point indicated and recording what was said.
The coolness is caused by the fact that the sun has never shone in the glen, and the movement of the light articles are caused by the constant rushing of cold air toward the exterior.
