- The engineer of a D&RG passenger train maneuvers across the Continental Divide and spots a phantom train bearing down on him. Unable to escape, he braces for a catastrophe
- During a wedding reception at a fort in New Mexico Territory, the doors fling open and standing in the entrance is the apparition of a dead soldier, once the suitor of the new bride.
- Emerging from a strange mist on the Platte River is a ghostlike sailing ship that carries the omen of death for anyone who sees it.
- Hoofbeats thunder across the remote hills of south Texas and cowboys gathered around a campfire witness a large black mustang carrying a headless horseman into the night.
