Is the toxic Salton Sea haunted by La Siguanaba, the mythical horse-headed woman who lures the innocent to their demise, or are more earthly forces at play?

From 1905-07, the Colorado flooded in the region, filling what became known as the Salton Sea.

Picture a thin slab of sandy, inhospitable desert land by the side of Highway 78, just a few miles from the Salton Sea.

The Salton Sea, once an icon of opportunity as a resort destination, continues to shrink rapidly, exposing toxic dust and polluted earth.

For example, it would take more than a minute for a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that starts at the Salton Sea along San Andreas fault to be felt 150 miles away in Los Angeles.
