My husband's brother's wife's parents lived in Salome for a time
(follow that?), and we used to visit there in our motorhome. Do not
recall any ghosts, but do not recall there was much of anything
else, either. A bank that was open a half day twice a week, and a
junk dealer with business right on the highway. Most the place had
to offer was Jeep trips out into the desert to visit the old mines.<br>

1856, a herd of camels was driven to Camp Verde (in the
Verde Valley, north east of Salome, more or less) and the
Army used the animals to pack around Arizona.
Unfortunately, the camels didn't get along with the horses
and mules, so that was an experiment that was doomed to
failure. During the Civil War, they mostly were sold off or
they "escaped confinement" and roamed the desert and lower
mountain ranges for decades. Good thing they weren't quite
as fertile as the horses, or we'd be worrying about "wild
camels" instead of "wild hornes."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
