[ Post a Response | The Castle Monster ]
Posted by Emperor Norton on 8/10/2002, 9:32 pm Some time in the mid to late 60's, approxiametly 40yrs ago, in the small Southeastern New Mexico town of Lovington she, four of her siblings, and two of her cousins were stalked by something that in retrospect sounds a lot like the creature described in the reports of Mount Pleasant. The seven of them were walking home one evening from the city park, on a deserted dirt road, when one of them noticed a very large (well over 6' tall) person lurking behind them in the shadows. The kids were all raging in the ages of 6 to 14 and they immediatly became very frightened. They picked up the pace of their jaunt in hopes of leaving whomever or whatever it was behind. When they looked back, this thing was on the road and closing on them fast. The children panicked and began running at top speed. Several of them turned at the last moment and the descriptions of what they saw still gives me goosebumps. Apparently it had a tail and was wearing, what they thought at the time, was a cloak. It had glowing eyes and it's face was grotesquely mishapen. It loomed up from behind them on the road and then suddenly zoomed over their heads, flying off into the night. The kids ran straight home and by the time their parent's arrived, were all found cowering under their beds crying. My mother-in-law's story was confirmed by those of her siblings who were present and they still have no idea today, 40 years later, exactly what it was they encountered. I've seen the spot where this event happened and until my wife and I got back from vacation this week, was unaware of the decriptive as well as temporal relations of this siting to the one's in Mount PLeasant. Once again I have no real opinion on this, at least from an explanatory view, but I do know that my mother-in-law is as reliable a witness as I would ever hope to meet. Does anyone know of similar occurences in the Southwest? Lovington is about 90 miles from Roswell and I know they've got a reputation for that type of thing. I'm unfamilar with the subject, though, and am curious to know if anyone has any info.
My wife and I recently returned to Southeast New Mexico to visit her family. We ended up spending quite a bit of time with her mother (whom I consider to be a close friend) and we actually ended up catching the opening night of "Signs". Anyway, after the movie we were driving back to my mother-in-law's house and we were sharing our own personal stories of the supernatural, etc. My wife's mother told a very odd story. Normally when I hear things of this nature, unless I have experienced them myself, I take them with a grain of salt. My mother-in-law is a spiritually devout woman. She is humble, pleasant to be around, and a very temperate person in views and in actions. I guess knowing that she is such a person made me take her story much more seriously that I usually would have. OK so this is what she told us:
