What Are Ghost Riders?



As season five ended The Ghost Riders made their debut. Than season six shows three ghost riders, “The Outlaw”, “The Enforcer” and “The Ranger”. However, what are these freaky looking ghost riders. 

The Ghost Riders are part of the myth of the Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt is about these devilish riders in the sky escorted by black dogs that their eyes glow with fire. It’s the guardian of Death and the supernatural know has the hell hound. 

Its originally a Norse Myth, and than shifted to the “old west” myth in American culture during the 19th and 20th centuries.  The song “ Riders in the Sky” by Stan Jones really made the Ghost Riders as cowboys always chasing the demonic animals. 

Now in the newer versions of the legend, the riders are considers taking unguarded people with them. 

"If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range, then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride..." - Riders in the Sky
