Colorado has numerous ghost towns, mostly because of the booming mining industry of the 1800s.
One ghost town known as St. Elmo was founded by Dr. Abner Wright who, upon discovering the area, was attacked by a bear and came out the victor of the attack. However, one of his acquaintances, in an attempt to kill the bear, blew off Wright's ear with a gunshot.
