On the blog this time we have a very strange story from New Mexico. The fact that we have a strange story from there is not the odd part. Over the years of the show I can honestly say that we have more tales from The Land Of Enchantment than from anywhere. No, what makes this story strange is that I have never heard one like it before. It comes from Mike and that is all I know about him.

Hey Ron, my name is Mike and I am originally from Texas, but live in New Mexico ATM.  In NM one thing you can do is drive. The endless desert is nothing short of amazing and I find peace just going out there to lose myself. It is relaxing. That is until it isn’t.

One night I was driving home from a day wine tasting. Many folk don’t know that New Mexico has some really fine vineyards and it can be a wonderful day trip. I was sober, clean and safe. However, my car may have had one too many and broke down.  

I pulled over to the side of the road and realized that my phone was missing. This was going to be a long wait. I put out flares, donned an orange vest and thought about breaking out some of the cheese and crackers I bought. Out of nowhere a man came up to the car and started walking around it. He seemed particularly interested in the  flares.

I got out of the car and started to tell him my problems. He totally ignored me and kept looking at those darn flares. I started in again and again he ignored me. Finally I shouted hey you deaf. It was then he looked up at me and I saw he had no face. Where his eyes were two yellow dots. 

I took a step back and tripped on something. When I got up the man or whatever it was, was gone.  About an hour later a patrol car rolled up and I got help. I decided not to tell the policeman my story. What do you think I saw? – Mike

Honestly Mike, I have no idea. Do know this. If it had happened to me I doubt I would have handled it as well as you sound like you did. I did find an obscure reference to a serial killer with yellow eyes in the Albuquerque area.

Our story comes from Melissa in Carmel Valley. It happened to her while attending California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly for short). She writes:

Love the podcast. It was in the  summer of 1997, and I was living with roommates in a house that had some “invisible residents.” We had been dealing with the typical poltergeist action, which after about the fourth time became annoying. Nobody would get hurt, but books would fall off the shelf by themselves, and one day after hearing a pretty loud crash in the kitchen, we discovered broken plates littering the floor. It always happened when no one was looking, which was more irritating. 

Once after a particularly lively day I was getting ready to head out to the campus for my weekly radio show at the student-run station. Before leaving, I decided to verbally confront the entity out loud. In my room, I asked it to make itself known in front of us. As if on cue, a 45 record which was sitting on top of my stereo across the room came sailing out to me just like a frisbee being tossed. It hit my shins and fell to the floor. 

Now… I wasn’t scared. I was satisfied that it had finally gained enough courage to show off something in person. I thanked the ghost and continued on my way to the radio station.  The odd thing was we never heard from it again.

I still can’t believe that it happened, but it did. I remember telling my dad about it shortly afterwards and he said, “Have you ever heard of telekinesis?” I took this to mean that he believed I saw what I did but even he couldn’t wrap his brain around it and was looking for a more scientific approach… Anyway thanks Ron!  – Melissa
