Buffalo Bar building
Silver City, New Mexico · Other
A submission to HauntedPlaces.org reports a woman’s voice when the room is otherwise empty and persistent tapping like an impatient foot on the floor. Later comments add legends, but these two audible experiences are the clearest claims in the entry.
Carlsbad Police Department building
Carlsbad, New Mexico · Hospital
The former hospital has three figures in a HauntedPlaces.org submission: a nurse, a distressed infant, and a nun wearing gray. A later secondhand account alleges objects moving in a basement evidence area. These are community stories, not statements by the police department.

Casa Esencia — Salvador Armijo House
Albuquerque, New Mexico · Historic house
The old Armijo house has unusually room-specific lore.

Other accounts mention displaced silverware and perfume.
Cavern Theatre
Carlsbad, New Mexico · Theater
A report submitted to HauntedPlaces.org describes unexplained sounds in the auditorium and a dark, human-like figure in the projection booth. The story’s focus is the empty theater and booth rather than a named ghost or a substantiated death.

New Mexico tourism records reports of lights resembling miners’ helmet lamps and ghostly figures among the graves. The stories evoke the mining community commemorated by the cemetery’s rows of crosses.
Double Eagle Restaurant
Mesilla, New Mexico · Historic house
The Carlotta Room carries a tragic lovers’ legend. HauntedPlaces.org retells how a mother attacked a servant loved by her son and fatally wounded both. The pair are said to remain together in the former bedroom. The violent story is restaurant folklore, not a verified murder record.

HauntedPlaces.org attributes the alleged activity to a former woman owner. Objects are said to shift, while startling kitchen crashes sound as though cookware has fallen, without an obvious visible cause.
