[1][2] Interviews were conducted with people connected to the events and places involved in the legends surrounding the KiMo Theater,[3] El Santuario de Chimayo,[4] the crystal skull found in the San Luis Valley,[5] and the hot springs of Ojo Caliente.

][13] Practical experiments were required for a third group, including determining the origin of The Santa Fe Courthouse Ghost,[14][15][16] the reports of hauntings at the Old Cuchillo Bar,[17][18][19] and an investigation into the power of labyrinths.

[14][15] In an article for the "Pasatiempo" section of the Santa Fe New Mexican, Robert Nott interviewed Radford about his investigative methods and the psychology behind belief in supernatural phenomena.

Regarding the book, Nott wrote, "Using both forensic techniques and journalistic inquiry, Radford makes a pretty good case that La Posada de Santa Fe is not haunted by the ghost of Julia Staab, that a little spirit boy named Bobby does not haunt Albuquerque’s KiMo Theatre, that the Miraculous Staircase in Loretto Chapel isn’t that miraculous, and that La Llorona is nothing more than a rural legend.
