Mears Junction
Mears Junction in Poncha Springs, Colorado is included on ODDKNOWN because a source-recorded haunting or paranormal story is tied to the location. Source-reported background: Along the old "Chile Line" abandoned Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, above Mears Junction (about 2 miles up to the south), used to be a water tank where trains would stop to replenish water for their boilers so they could make it over Poncha Pass. The story goes that one time in the fall of 1894, when the train stopped, a small child named Annabell got off the train to walk in the woods awhile with her brother. Reported activity: In later years on many occasions, boy scouts and scout leaders camping in the area during the fall have heard a small voice singing in the dense aspen groves directly to the east of the old abandoned railroad bed. The Shadowlands/TidyTuesday entry is a compiled report, so the paranormal claims are presented as folklore or witness reports rather than verified supernatural evidence.
