The story got around the bars across the west, that there was a fortune in gold up on Dead Man's Peak, but it was guarded by the ghost of the Dead Man the peak was referring to.
Most everyone just put it down to more taradiddles, but occasionally a 'scientist' would head up for the ghost, and slightly more often a desperate man would go up for the gold.
And they'd never return, only furthering the reach of the story.
Still, if you wanted cheap treasure hunting gear or weird science tools, the local general store was always fully stocked.
