If you’re ready to explore the unseen, the unexplained, and the downright eerie, here are Santa Fe’s most mysterious places.
1. La Llorona and the Santa Fe River
The legend of La Llorona—the Weeping Woman—has haunted New Mexico for centuries. Said to be the ghost of a woman who lost her children, her wails are still heard near rivers and arroyos. Locals claim that late at night along the Santa Fe River, you might hear her eerie cries or catch a glimpse of a woman in white drifting through the mist.
2. The Secret Tunnels Under Santa Fe
Beneath Santa Fe’s historic Plaza lies a labyrinth of underground tunnels, some dating back to the Spanish colonial period. Used for smuggling, secret escapes, and possibly even ritual ceremonies, these tunnels remain one of the city’s greatest unsolved mysteries. Though most are now sealed off, whispers of hidden passages still circulate among those who know where to look.
3. The Miraculous Staircase of Loretto Chapel
Built without nails or visible support, the Loretto Chapel staircase is one of the greatest architectural enigmas in the world. Legend has it that the mystery carpenter who built the spiral staircase vanished without a trace after its completion, leading many to believe it was the work of St. Joseph himself. Engineers today still marvel at its impossible design.
4. The Lost City of the Ancestral Puebloans
Just beyond Santa Fe, in the remote desert mesas, lie the ruins of an ancient civilization with unknown origins. Some believe these sites, including Puye Cliff Dwellings and Chaco Canyon, are remnants of a lost advanced society that once harnessed the power of the Earth’s natural energy fields. UFO enthusiasts even claim they were built with the help of extraterrestrials.
