Two Teton Ghost Stories Myths and Legends of the Great Plains by Katharine Berry Judson (1913):
The Ghost and the Traveler:
An Indian was in a forest walking and then it began to rain. He saw a light in through the trees and followed it. It led to a lodge where people are talking. He then realized they were ghosts and began to run away. They followed him. Then he thought about how he enjoyed the company of the lady and she appeared. He was scared but they walked until day and she disappeared.
The Man Who Shot a Ghost:
A man was alone in a forest hunting rabbits. He made a fire and camped out for the night. He thought if anything happened he would just shoot them. He then heard talking but he couldn't see anyone. The ghosts began harassing the man. So the man shot the ghost. The next day he went to where he heard the ghosts and saw 2 graves.
Coyote and Snake Myths and Legends of the Great Plains by Katharine Berry Judson (1913):
A Coyote was walking and then heard someone talking. The coyote could not see anyone so began walking again. Then he heard it again. It was a snake warning the coyote that he was about to walk over the snake. The coyote told the snake to and the snake told the coyote to move. The snake warned the coyote that if he stepped on the snake then he would die. So of course the coyote did not believe the snake and walked over it. The snake bit the coyote and the coyote eventually died.
