I need ideas for unnatural and paranormal encounters, that could occur in Stalker-esque sci-fi desert setting. Something from categories of strange events, creatures or hazards.

I don't think I get it. Can you elaborate?

When travellers cross certain area, they often receive strange radio-conversations. In those translations, people talk about orders using old military code. It is believed, that those conversations were held in the past when big battle/catastrophe occurred.
There are stories about caravanserai that appears before people who lost in desert. Caravanserai offers free food, soft bed and friendly company to those unfortunate souls. When traveller wakes up on the next day, they find themselves lying in desert where caravanserai stood before.
Many people believe that it is just a hallucination, but those who've encountered caravanserai claim that it was real.
People speak about tall shadowy figure roams in the night. It is as high as a nine-storey building and it walks on four slender legs through the dunes in search of light. Creature is often accompanied by clicking sounds.
In the heart of the desert, there is a mountain that is believed to slowly travel across the land. No one could capture any movement, but somehow it was able to change place when it was not observed.
I've always liked ghost towns. Abandoned mining towns, massacred settlements, villages wiped out by some kind of unknown disaster. Especially if you do a slow burn reveal - one where everything seems perfectly normal, but then you slowly start adding in incongruous details. Or just have them wake up and discover that the town has been long dead, and the only thing left of the people they spent the day with are their scattered, sand-bleached bones.
