I think it would be good fun to come across odd and/or supernatural things in the game as long as we never get involved with them. Like I'd be fine if I saw a DeLorean in the far distance tearing through the desert and vanishing leaving two streaks of fire but if I got to walk up to it and interact with it, then no.

Actually, some one used Sony Vegas to read the newspaper in the Life in the West video and it mentions ghosts.

Tumbleweed Haunted?

Following recent reports of ghost sightings in the abandoned town of Tumbleweed,
visitors are continuing to tell of unnatural happenings and strange feelings.
Some visitors claim to have seen spirits of the dead. Others.... (Unreadable)
It would be cool to go to Tumbleweed and, on stormy nights, have really freaky things happen. Seeing a ghost could work if they make it creepy enough, we don't see it again and it isn't approachable or attackable. Here are the rest of the newspapoer stories from the video.

SPOILER: show

Williamson Gang Reign of Terror

In events that hark back to our state's not so distant and none too glorious past,
a gang of thieves and killers is running amok across the western counties.
Although New Austin has never been a place for the faint of heart, nor a place
that encourages delicacy, law enforcement agencies are particularly worried about
this new gang. Not since Dutch Van Der Linde's crew was operating up in West
Elizabeth has a criminal group caused so much consternation, nor gained so much
publicity. Although cattle rustling and robberies are unfortunately still common
throughout our region, the spate of killings, fires, and burnings caused by Bill
Williamson and his gang have shocked even the cord running back to reform school,
is himself believed to have once run in Van Der Linde's gang. Dutch Van Der
Linde himself has not been seen nor heard from in several years and despite claims
of sightings, is thought to have perished in a fire following a bungled robbery
in 1906. With railway companies and other business interests pushing local and
federal government bodies to aid economic development and investment by reducing
crime, it is clear that action will be taken against this latest gang attempting
to live the American dream outside of the law.


Tobacco Fights Tuberculosis

Everywhere that fresh air abounds, man knows nothing of coughs, cold, or lung
inflamations. However as man creates cities and is herded into factories, sweatshops,
mines, and mills, these soggy and unhygenic atmospheres spread the most deadly of
pulmonary diseases -- Tuberculosis. Dr. Charles I. Heiden says workers can disinfect
themselves and protect against disease through regular smoking in the workplace.


Cattle rustling worse than ever in New Austin

The poverty stricken ranchers of New Austin have been further blighted by a
ruthless band of cattle rustlers in recent months. The hoodlums, led by twin
brothers Ike and Willie Bollard, have been stealing cattle throughout
Hennigan's Stead and then selling them at Thieves' Landing, often well below
market value. The gang is believed to be using Pike's Basin as it's base of
operations.


People missing in Cholla Springs

Several residents of Armadillo and the surrounding area have gone missing over
the past few months in separate incidents, but none have yet turned up, either
alive or dead. Local law inforcement bodies are urging residents to show extra
caution when traveling in the back country on their own, or when traveling at
night.

Wonder Tonic From the East, Doctors Worried About Future.

Users of a new medical tonic that is being sold in areas of New Austin
have reported remarkable results. A one-legged woman in Plainview grew
back her missing limb and an elderly man close to death got up and ran
to the nearest brothel with the resumed vigor of a 14-year-old boy.
West Dickens Patented Elixer claims to effect an infallible and painless
remedy to virtually all known human ailments, both internal, external,
and spiritual including aches, infections, dysentery, lumbago,
paralysis, chilblains, malaria, genital debility, rickets, and
depressed humors. The tonic which is the result of years of research
combining ancient wisdom from the east and scientific investigations
from territories across the land is being hailed by its distributor as
the greatest medical discovery of our time.

Grave Robber Captured but Crimes Persist

Residents of Armadillo are baffled by the mysterious and somewhat repugnant
case of Moses Forth. Mr. Forth who was recently arrested for desecrating
and robbing graves is believed to have been solely responsible for a string
of similar crimes across the West in the last couple of years. Following
his arrest, however, there has been a further outbreak of graveyard
desecration leading to speculate about who else is committing this most
vile act.

Mexican Leader Appeals for Calm

Mexican President, General Ignacio Sanchez, who seized power last year
in a bloody coup in which he killed his own brother, has appealed for
calm in the tempestuous country. General Sanchez who was head of a
Mexican cavalry division and who has studied in Spain and Bolivia is
premising to improve conditions for workers across the country while
increasing suffrage. In a speech he made last week Sanchez noted,
"despite my privileged upbringing, I am a true son of Mexico, but as
a Mexican, I know our country needs strong relationships and this is
what I intend to provide. The road our country is on has been
long and treacherous but I promise you we are heading in the right
direction.


The guy at GameFAQs managed to get another bit of info from his friend at PAX.
