What do I have here?

[coachspencerxc]

I'm a high school teacher. Today, a girl brought in a bag of maybe 50 peppers saying, "My dad's friend grew them and had to pick them before the frost. Half are ghost peppers & half are chili peppers." The ghost types look the part but I have limited experience. These have much thicker walls than what I've had before. These are the biggest of the bunch. Most are smaller and unripe. Bright green. The "chili" peppers are a bigger mystery. Could be any number of things, I guess. Any ideas? I'd try the ghosty ones but I'm headed to a gastroneurologist appointment in an hour. Doesn't seem like the best move. I've been sticking to ajis & scotch bonnets the past couple of weeks, dealing with an ulcer or acid reflux. Anyway, any help in ID would be appreciated.

Based on my highly limited knowledge, I'd say they look like the Fresno's I grew a few years ago.

You know, Fresno was my first thought but they're pretty small.

First one is maybe Martin's Red Carrot.  I grew them this year and the first pic looks awfully similar, they are thick walled and crunchy.  Much better producer than a Jalapeno pepper and around the same heat. 
 
 
I am just guessing by the look of them, just my two cents.

Any guesses? I'm always skeptical of 3rd hand information delivered by high school students.

My vote is they are ghost and the other do look like fresnos

The ones on the bottom look crossed between a TS ButchT and ghost.The only reason I am saying, that is one of my plants has pepper like those.Man, those peppers pack some kind of heat.Only the bees and wind really know.Sometime OP seeds come up with some weird looking pepper with some serious heat.

I concur with the bhut cross theory. I've seen a range of phenos, those look like the Dorset nagas my local chilihead sells, but I wouldn't say they were pure anyway, prolly Ebay seed :p

Those definitely don't look like ghosts. I agree with the cross theory.

Def a cross - Im not that good at guessing honestly but to me it looks 7pod -ish perhaps Barrakapore

Who knows how many generations the pods come from, The top ones could be a number of different chili varieties, Fresno would be the best guess, I had a no name cross come up this year on its own that looked some what like them.
The bottom looks more like a 7 pod, I grew the Barrackpore this year and the pods are very similar, they could be a ghost crossed with a 7 pod but that is just a guess, if they taste good to you I would save the photo's of these along with the seeds and grow them next season and see if the pods still look like the photo's. Nothing wrong with saving seeds from a variety that you don't know the name of. I have a few crosses with no names that could burn the fuzz off a peach just setting next to it, that I really like..
