The Legends Of Taos

One of the many Legends of Taos is about the catacombs hidden underneath Dona Luz Lane in Taos New Mexico. Dona Luz Lane has quite a history to it. Back in the late 1880's it was known as the Red Light District. Dona Luz was the name of the brothel madam and there were in fact, quiet a few shops selling liquor during Prohibition. The Tunnels were said to be there to protect and shelter residents of Taos during Comanche raids. Others say it was just a way of getting back and forth without being seen.

Our Lady Of Guadalupe Church located there as well until a fire in the late 60's brought it down. The parking lot used to be the cemetery. With that in mind, the tunnels are said to house spirits either from the prostitutes that died there, or the occupants of the graves, not happy about the cement roof! The spirits are said to be mainly female and tend not to bother female patrons, but men on the other hand.... the spirits are said to toy with them moving tools of construction workers amongst other things. So if your looking for a little excitement venture down to Taos and see what strange things you can see here.
