The first disappearance is said to have taken place in the 1500s, where a Spanish explorer named Coronado witnessed their friends vanish.
J. Stephen Conn/Flickr Legend has it that flashes of green light came from the dunes as three people disappeared. Natives of the land tried to warn Coronado, but they didn’t listen.
Coronado recorded the disappearances in their journal, which was only to be found centuries later.

Ever since these Spanish explorers, many other urban legends have been claimed of people disappearing in the dunes.
