As paranormal investigators, we've read a lot of books with ghost stories. Recently I (rob) finished "Santa Fe Ghosts" by Susan Blumenthal.
The book has 17 chapters about hauntings in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico. I've been there once (many years ago) and Tom recently visited. He bought the book during his visit. There are some good ghost stories in the book and photos.
If you visit or live nearby, it's worth taking the book with you and investigating the places listed.
There are ghosts in the oldest house and churches, prisons and other places.
The one story that stayed with me was the Legend of Lalorona. As it turns out, the story isn't actually native to New Mexico- it comes from Central America.
Here's a short video about that particular legend:

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Find out what pounded up a flight of stairs in a cloud of stench, freezing house plants along its path, and terrifying the resident caretaker of a landmark house on Grant Avenue. Learn why a lost soul at La Residencia spent years communicating its distress until one man understood what it wanted. Encounter strange events at the The Loretto Chapel and its enigma staircase. Dine at the Pink Adobe with a ghost who occasionally serves lemon wedges and levitates tables. Hear police dogs howling as one specific hearse passes with a body that was removed after the bloody Santa Fe prison riot of 1971. Eyewitness accounts intertwine history, spanning from the earliest settlements through contemporary times, with mystery and ghostly events taking place in one of the oldest and most haunted cities in America.
