The paranormal phenomenon described in these short ghost tales allegedly occurred at the Tubac Golf Resort & Spa in Tubac, Arizona at or near the historical Hacienda de Otero, affectionately known to the locals as "The Otero." A family historian researching the Otero Family Spanish Land Grant of 1789 discovered these stories by accident. The Tubac Golf Resort & Spa is situated on the site of the historical Otero Land Grant, the location of Arizona's first recorded title to land. Staff and visitors of all ages, genders, and cultural and socio-economic groups have reported strange scents, disembodied voices, and even full-bodied, ghostly apparitions. The book contains seventeen illustrations. Photos were taken at the Tubac Golf Resort & Spa of areas where some of the unexplained events allegedly occurred, including photo enhanced video screen captures of actual resort staff interviews. Photos were taken by the author. A brief relevant history of the Otero Land Grant property is included. Each chapter also contains a brief historical synopsis to give context to the chapter. The last chapter of the book is an account by a resort staff person who has the "Don," the ability to see and interact with spirits.
