The ghost who haunts Launa’s Canyon in Kingman, Arizona has her own ghostly history. Legend says that Launa was one of the many wives who were dragged to the area during the 1800s. Though she didn’t relish the idea of heading out into the wilderness, she agreed to seek a better future.
Launa didn’t have it easy though, because her husband was previously married and had two young daughters. The husband and wife traveled with the daughters to Kingman, hoping to strike it rich in gold. The girls made her life miserably, constantly reminding her that she could never replace them.
Maybe it was the fortune the family built, or maybe Launa couldn’t take it anymore. When she found herself pregnant, she decided to get rid of his daughters. After killing them, she hid their bodies in the house. She took a long walk, only to come to her senses and realize what she did. She started screaming and asking for help, begging for her husband to feel sorry for her and forgive her. Though history doesn’t record what happened to Launa, many claim that you can hear her mournful cries still echoing through the canyon late at night.
