About this listen

Ghosts of the Wild West tells the tale of Billy the Kid as you’ve never seen him: no longer a mere gunslinger or cunning outlaw, but a man haunted by every victim he ever claimed. Each new killing spawns another restless ghost, trailing him through desert wastes and half-collapsed frontier towns. As his fame (or infamy) grows during the Lincoln County War, so do the whispering apparitions: some pleading for peace, others demanding vengeance, all of them fueling Billy’s slow spiral from cocky renegade to trembling soul.

Events come to a bloody head when Billy encounters an escalating chorus of ghosts—those of lawmen, rival gunmen, and bystanders who drifted into his crosshairs by chance. Gunfights no longer end with the echo of distant thunder; they leave behind flickering spirits that plague Billy’s dreams and waking hours alike, tangible reminders that death is rarely the final word on the frontier.

In an eerie collision between historical fact and supernatural dread, Billy’s life barrels toward the fatal bullet fired by Sheriff Pat Garrett. Yet, even that bullet can’t deliver Billy from the forces he himself set in motion. For in the Wild West, the living sometimes join the dead with scarcely a line separating them—and rumor says Billy’s own spirit may still roam beneath starlit skies, condemned to wander the very desert he once roamed so freely. Full of atmospheric tension, historical grit, and unearthly terror, Ghosts of the Wild West unravels the final destiny of an outlaw who could outrun the law but not the spirits that haunted him.
