A mining town seems to be struggling; the once growing "Coal's Mouth" (pronounced "Coal'smuth") is suddenly struggling to keep people staying, never-mind working! There's rumors of the mines being haunted, along with cattle going missing, and disappearances, and strange noises in the night...

The people don't feel safe, and the town manager is forced to call for a detective, as well as a bounty hunter and some gunfighters to try and restore peace (or at least a sense of safety enough to save the town). But, this is all done under the assumption that these superstitious miners are just being chased off by mountain lions and bears.

How will the town's saviors fair when they dig beneath the surface and find out that terror, like the mine itself, runs deeper?

do feel free to comment with interest, I know this sounds a little campy (because it is), but I'll do my best to make it entertaining. ^_^
