Summit Springs Battlefield

Summit Springs Battlefield in South of Sterling, Colorado is included on ODDKNOWN because a source-recorded haunting or paranormal story is tied to the location. Source-reported background: The woman was killed and her grave overlooks the battlefield, many Calvary and Warriors died here. The Dog Soldier leader killing his own prized war pony, by cutting the horses throat in full view of the Calvary, so as not to let it fall into their hands. Reported activity: It is a very remote location, with whispers in the grass, hoof beats at night, and a visible mist that moves across the prairie and returns back to where it came from, the marker of the frontier woman's grave. The Shadowlands/TidyTuesday entry is a compiled report, so the paranormal claims are presented as folklore or witness reports rather than verified supernatural evidence.
