This part just breaks my heart honestly. I wonder how many times he has been beaten, raped and threatened just because he is invisible to so many people and nobody cares about what might happen to him.

Homelessness is such a fucking depressing subject. Dehumanizing.

>>18693735

I think it's because only the Churches care enough to give them food and shelter, so they have a sense of gratitude, despite their madness and unhinged minds they still feel a small responsibility to do their part and spread the word of God.

I live in it, so no.

Local news said two cyclists reported a lizard man a couple miles from my house. Hoping to see it myself.

other than that just stories; occasional lights inna sky,a shadow followed my cousins car home one time (really not that interesting, I wouldnt worry about it)
My mom's step dad had lived in the san louis valley all his life; once saw a flying disc come out of the water at some reservoir, it killed his truck and it didnt start til the thing flew away. Apparently the electronics were pretty fried and he had to trade it in.
Once my parents saw a huge wolf looking thing dart across the highway in front of the car in front of them, but that car didnt even tap their breaks, like they never saw it
Then there was that one summer when they saw a bunch of RVs with identical spiral design things on the back just out and about pretty often, the drivers were all dressed the same too apparently. They thought they were rentals at first but you'd think there'd be ads or a phone number or something and not just a white rv.

Yes. I took a day trip to Area 51 knowing that I wouldn't be allowed in just to get as close to it as possible. It was the quietest place I'd ever been. The driver and I had to turn on the radio after a while because the silence was so loud that it seemed to ring in our ears. No birdsong, no critters rustling around, no other people. Just silence, and the dust on our bumper. It was trippy.

I'm very interested in Arizona and this thread but I don't know if I'll ever be able to go there

Southern NM here. The thing about living here is that it's deceptive in how it exists. Technically speaking, I live in the largest oak forest on earth, but you'd never know it because they're all bushes barely two feet tall. The thing about them is that they're very thick and grow in patterns that make it seem like they're much closer together than they really are. Anybody who's lived here knows that just about everything can hide in those bushes, and even when you're walking along an old coliche road left by the oilfield workers, you can never shake that sensation that, even though you can see from horizon to horizon in every direction, there's always just something right behind that bush over there.

I used to explore the deserts around the outskrts of El Paso and Las Cruces, and I always found weird shit. Randomly placed wooden crosses in the middle of bum fuck no where. Old decrepited buildings that seem to have no business being there and seemed to serve no purpose. Strange bonfires in pretty hard to reach areas where cars (and people) can't normally pass. Many other oddities that make it creepy to be out there.

Could have been someone's dirt road driveway.

My dad bought some property in Landers CA, years ago. Back in the early 2000's when I first met my wife we'd go out and visit. I was in the military at the time and that house was the only place we had privacy while visiting our hometown. Beautiful during the day and absolutely fucking terrifying at night. Back then even the main road to get to the house was a dirt road. The houses were sometimes miles apart and the people living there were those burnt orange leathery types that chain smoke and stare rather than talk to you.

Then there's the tweakers, those dudes could with a fought rob then murder you and no one would ever find the body in the desert. My dad had metal doors and bars on the windows and still had to have someone check on the house every few days to make sure the meth heads hadn't stolen the security bars off the windows.

>>18692979
Went backpacking through New Mexico a few years ago.

Best fucking state. American Southwest is the most beautiful and eerie place on the planet.

NM fag here. Lots of weird shit out here, a land of total mystery. The air force has a chunk of land out here that's bigger than Delaware and is more or less totally off limits to the public, and that's not counting the two national labs. They can literally hide stuff in plain sight because the nearest public road is 30-40 miles away, which means that atmospheric turbulence makes it impossible to actually identify what you're seeing. There are also tons of native reservations that aren't welcome to the public, especially the white public. The whole reason that the Dulce Base isn't totally debunked is because a huge portion of that area is on the Jicarilla reservation. We are the 5th largest state but the 14th smallest population, which puts us in the bottom five for population density. You get the feeling, sometimes, that you're the only person to have set foot in this particular canyon or meadow in a decade or even a century, which is humbling and terrifying.

This place is also steeped in local folklore going back centuries and even further back into time immemorial. I have a friend whose grandparents live in a hogan on the reservation. He mentioned that they don't have any running water or electricity, another clueless friend asked how long they'd been living like that. He looked at him like the idiot he was.. because the answer is "always". His grandparents are the last generation of a totally aboriginal ancestral heritage that has been on this continent since the woolly mammoth was still on the menu. The Spaniards also have a rich folklore history of witches (both brujeras and curanderas), encounters with the devil and tons of other spooky shit.

I've seen my own fair share of weird shit around here. I've seen cars disappear on a 20 mile stretch of open highway with nowhere to hide. I've seen moving lights among the stars that didn't go in a natural direction. I've seen the dust clouds kicked up with a haunting shivering wail by La Llorona.

What is it about the desert in particular but nature in general that is so spiritual? Perhaps our ancestors were right worshipping in areas of great beauty as well as temples.

>>18701013
When I was hiking in New Mexico I went camping in those old abandoned falling down cemetery in the desert.

So fucking gorgeous. It was north east of Albequerque.

The feeling of mystery in New Mexico is what is interesting. No where else feels like that. It's like anything could be discovered. We would just park the car on a backroad and start walking into the desert.

We'd randomly see some of the most gorgeous landscapes I've ever seen in my life. They weren't labled or marked on the map. They were just sitting there. Totally amazing place, I really want to move to that region some day.

>>18701025

There's a lot to be discovered out here. I've been here my whole life and feel like I've only touched the surface.

Take, for instance, Catron County, which is where I do a lot of my own camping and hiking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catron_County,_New_Mexico

One of the oldest continuously inhabited regions in this entire HEMISPHERE, in an area that's larger than the three smallest states, yet with a 2010 census population of 3725. That puts the density at 0.5 per square mile. It's just a very eerie feeling being in a little bowl at the base of 4 good-sized hills with pottery shards literally covering the ground like gravel and an entire canyon yet to explore.

>>18701023

For me, the desert is one of the few untouched places left in nature. Every time I go to the east coast, I get the feeling of being in a manicured garden, even in the "wild" states. We exert our dominion over the earth there, but the desert will kill you in a day if you aren't careful, and a week even if you are. There's a real power in that.

>>18701070

My favorite piece of desert-related spooky media is the hunt for the death valley Germans. Nothing paranormal or even really scary, just an example of illequipped humans making bad decisions and dying. A long read, but beautiful and chilling.

Southern NM (LC) here as well. This place is a beautiful area and I'm glad California doesn't know it exists yet. But if you're out at night in the desert you can definitely feel things moving around. Some good, some scary. Just don't go looking for them, not even for a thrill. Some things like to cling onto you.

>>18692979
I live in the mojave desert and it can be creepy at night. You can vanish without a trace out here rather easily. There are also tons of current native american stories about skinwalkers and other supernatural things, as well as aliens. Plus, so many things are poisonous.

Depends on what you want. New Mexico is like the twilight zone in some places.

I don't know much about Arizona.

And I'm in Texas. Which is pretty much the best of both worlds in terms of living and spoops.

I just live near the NM border and go visit whenever I feel like it. Then come back home to my lesser amount of crime, better job, and cheaper home.

Las Vegas fag here.

You wouldn't believe the weird shit that goes on all around this area. The strip is so gorgeous, multi billion dollar mega buildings with lights in the middle of a sea of cookie cutter suburbs as far as the eye can see. Then you have Nellis AFB which is big enough to be its own city. And then all the weird shit in the desert around Lake Mead, dozens of not hundreds of unknown buried bodies under the water and the surrounding areas from when the Mob ran Vegas. Red Rock is so fucking surreal and often to forget that it's only half an hour away from the Las Vegas strip. Plenty of creepy shit around here no doubt.

OK why exactly is this?

Deserts have huge open areas with often nothing obstructing one's view... and the heat and dryness and mummify remains.

The "Mysterious Valley" extends down into northern NM from southern CO. The "Taos Hum" is the most famous (and least interesting, in my opinion) paranormal thing but there is plenty of other weirdness around that area.

From west suburb of Phoenix. Have definitely seen some weird shit, lots of typical lights in the sky type stuff
Weirdest shit: in my neighborhood area there were some spots of county owned land, basically my stucko house vs. a bunch of "farm" land with older houses and stuff
Driving around late at night on county land, see this old abandoned barn
Barn is decrepit as fuck, burned down, graffiti, overgrown dead ass vegetation, broken nasty wood fence around property line
Friends and I get super spooked but decide it would be perfect to make a cool little horror short film
Go back the next day (maybe 6-8 hours later tops) with a camera and some props
Brand new barn, bright paint, no graffiti
white picket fence
beautiful green grass
kids playing
what the fuck
Idk if any significance but there was also a creepy af cemetery right next to it and the land was rumored to be owned by natives
I'll see if I can think of anything else

Canyon Diablo in Northern AZ has a cool history, extremely violent history, ghosts like John Shaw in pic related, and it is literally right on the border of the Navajo reservation (Skinwalkers of course, duh). It's one of the most strange places I've ever been. You go to the ghost town of Two Guns, AZ on the I40 then go north 5 miles. It feels like you should not be there. Like something is all wrong. It doesn't feel right. Bad energy. I tried to camp there and couldn't. We had to leave and go to Flagstaff. Also, there is buried outlaw treasure supposedly hidden there. Lol.

>>18705522
That "I shouldn't be here" feeling is all over AZ. I've gotten the creeps in the woods or the coast etc. but the desert has this insane innate spookiness. I love it

>>18705039
Because so many murderers live out here. The desert is desolate and people vanish all the time.

>>18705204
No, it's more about the people who will murder you for looking at them funny. There are plenty of places to dump a body out here.

>>18704576
Plus, Lake Mead was actually built on towns and at least one Native Reservation. They used Eminent Domain to claim the land. When the water gets low you can see buildings under the water.

bumpin for desert spoops

No need to be scared of the people in the desert in the southwest, they are just really independent, never-ask-no-favors type, just mind your own business, don't be a busy body and complain or try to act slick, they won't put up with that. My family has been in Arizona for 6 generations, that's my take on it. Although if I ran across my dad & my uncles out in the desert I'd be freaked out, they look mean, come to think about it. But things change, people keep moving here from Cali etc. and changing things. There are still enough ghost towns they don't know about though.

We had a big rain storm the last 2 days. The native Americans say rain brings redemption, like it washes away your sins, no matter how bad you are, you can be saved. But that don't matter though, cause it don't rain here very often.

Air Force fag here. I've been stationed at Creech AFB twice (lived at Nellis both times), Edwards AFB in Cali and now Holloman AFB NM. Having grown up in Ohio I found all 3 places to be weird as fuck. Vegas area was by far the most sinister. Edwards was really quiet and had amazing weather but it was so isolated that it couldn't help but feel a bit forlorn. Holloman, which is right next to White Sands, is creepy but quiet for the most part. I used to ride my bike on the base perimeter road at night and I could never shake the feeling that someone was following me quickly on foot. Jack rabbits would dart out in front of me and I'd nearly shit myself. Haven't seen any ayyys lmaos though.

The Lost Dutchman's Mine is located on the Apache Thunder Gods' sacred home, that's why so many die looking for it.

Well, that and the 120 degree heat, rattlesnakes, lack of water, mountain lions, scorpions, tarantulas, meth heads, vertical drops of 1000+ feet around every bend, falling rocks, and other Dutch hunters trying to kill them.

>>18705039
Nobody ever goes out into the really empty parts of the desert unless they're doing some suspicious shit themselves, so even if you just left a dead body out there and it somehow didn't get eaten by coyotes or whatever right away it's pretty unlikely someone would stumble across it

Saw a green fireball over West Phoenix once, but I think it was just a meteorite. Also see plenty of interesting stuff flying out of Luke AFB, which is right there.

No ayylmaos though.

Have heard some strange sounds out in the desert mountains, though.

>>18694316

Yeah, I just replied a second ago about seeing a green fireball in AZ. Those are meteorites, right?

AZ fag here.

Look up at the stars at night in Sedona, you will 100% see UFOs, no one believes me until I take them there.

Also, avoid traveling in the Northeast corner of AZ or the Northwest corner of NM. That's a no-go zone for skinwalkers and other native badlands. Do not pickup hitchhikers in these areas no matter what. Listen to Kyuss, desert rock is eerie as fuck.

Turn around and the woman is rubbing a potted plant on my back. Turn around and she tells me she is rubbing sage on me because it is a purifier in native culture.

Im from the navajo rez, been to canyon de chelly, where spider rock is located plenty. I got one story when I went camping there

parents know a family that has property at the bottom of the canyon. with group, getting tour of caves and other spots with hieroglyphs. me and one other decided we are gonna camp in one of the caves. night comes around and we eventually go to sleep. middle of the night i am woken up by native ceremonial music. peek out of my sleeping and see that I am surrounded by figures in old ceremonial gear and paint. paralyzed by fear. close eyes and force myself back to sleep.
wake up with sign of anybody, friend didn't hear or see anything.

I know I was dreaming, I was 15 at the time and was probably the most paranormal experience I've had.

To visit these place is one of my dreams, but since I have a Arabic last name and a long beard I think it's better stay away from America for now...

You see some pretty strange shit out here in New Mexico. Albuquerque fag here. I worked as a delivery driver for a long time and had a weird experience delivering something for the Air Force.

>boss tells me that I need to make a delivery to Kirtland Air Force Base
>Everything goes as normal arrive at the base
>Tell the front guard that I was told I needed to drop off a delivery
>Tells me to wait while he walks off to call in
>Two trucks and two vans show up
>Vans are packed full of soldiers
>One of the drivers tells me to follow them
>Tells me not to stop anywhere or veer off
>Two trucks in front of me and the two vans are behind
>Following them on the roads for a bit till we come up to a gate and a dirt road
>Drove on this road for TWO hours
>Finally arrive at some super small house out in the middle of nowhere
>Guards all hop out and the guy comes back to the window
>Tells me to give him the keys and tells me to stay in the truck
>Guards post up around my truck
>As their unloading I turned my head but the guard told me to keep looking forward
>After awhile he comes back and gives me my keys back and tells me to follow them back to the base
>Get to the base and they let me head back

To this day I still don't know what it was that I hauled over there but I'm 100% sure that the little building was just an elevator and they took whatever is was underground.

It definitely wasn't nuclear or anything like that, seeing as the Monzano and Sandia mountains were nuclear weapon storage areas, but it had to be something pretty top secret.

Yeah it's basically a "then who was phone" story, but I'm grateful for it since it truly would have been a miracle to find him myself without having to call the police (or finding a frozen corpse the next morning).

Been to a couple of places in Nevada by myself that seems spooky

There's an abandoned pet cemetery just a little south of Boulder City that is supposedly haunted because the mob supposedly buried people they shot there. Some graves date back to the late 1800s

Theres a little janky town called Nelson NV further south of Boulder City and the Pet Cemetery where it feels like you will be shot the minute you get out of your car. Nobody is around and a lot of the building look abandoned but a lot have No Trespassing signs, I would go exploring but I don't want to get shot.

If you're at Lake Mead at night it feels strange like sit's deathly silent at times, it's strange because it's always windy in Nevada.

Some parts of Mount Charleston at night are creepy, feels like you're being watched and the wind rustling the trees makes an eerie sound

SLV is an odd place

>>18718055

I never talked to any of them too much to get details. I met a group of them, half of them homeless, who would meet at the local library where they'd stink up the conference room and one day I happened to smoke a cigarette with a few of them. One of them was a younger man maybe 28-32, really really piercing eyes, who lived there because his aunt had left him a house. He was some kind of artist but so was half the town. The other person from the group I met was this homeless chick with terrible teeth who gave me more details. Basically they were trying to put together a communal farm but there was just something really off about them and they seemed to get a violent look in their eye when I suggested that they might be falling into a pyramid scheme.

Another example was this restaurant on the edge of town. They sold all kinds of really shitty paintings of super heroes and other pop-culture stuff, with the typical assortment of CO/NM tourist t-shirts and CBD-infused everything. The off-putting part was that the entire staff seemed like zombies and had no idea how to run a restaurant. They'd encourage you to leave big tips because they said everyone who worked there was "a volunteer" and that "you can work here too if you want"

A smaller town about 50 miles away was touted as an "artist community"

We went to an art show there and it was just fucking bizarre. Mostly old (like senor citizen old) hippies trying to sell terrible art. Some of it was really witchy-looking, and pretty much everyone had this really stand-offish vibe, I guess it was like a whole town of "artists" circle-jerking each other and it didn't fit in with any experience I'd ever had interacting with people at an art show, it was like an art-show in Silent Hill or some shit.

Land was really cheap out there and welfare programs were plentiful, there were a lot of people living in small houses in the middle of a dirt-field with no running water or electricity outside of town.

They sold all kinds of really shitty paintings of super heroes and other pop-culture stuff, with the typical assortment of CO/NM tourist t-shirts and CBD-infused everything. The off-putting part was that the entire staff seemed like zombies and had no idea how to run a restaurant. They'd encourage you to leave big tips because they said everyone who worked there was "a volunteer" and that "you can work here too if you want"

Where was this at?

My friend saw a giant black cigar shaped ufo that was hovering stationary only a few hundred feet in air. It then apparently moved slowly forwards then shot off into sky at a great speed. This was above some viewpoint thing ontop of a little hill in the village of Kemnay, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

There is a mountain/hill nearby called Bennachie that has a lot of folk tales of devils and giants residing inside it. Which sounds pretty ay lmao to me dehsoo

Lived in NM for about 2 years. Never had anything happen to me that was super creepy but I might've saw some ayy lmaos once. I did have a close friend who told me a really creepy story once:

>Be him. Religionfag like me.
>He's in NM as a minister for our church.
>They put him up with another dude in a trailer out behind a meetinghouse close to some rez in northwest NM.
>Nothing to do. Sometimes they spend the day shooting snakes and jackrabbits with their pellet rifle.
>One day a native member of the congregation has them over for dinner.
>As they leave she thanks them for their service to God and describes them as being among the most righteous of God's children.
>Warns them that it's not always a good thing. Says evil spirits are drawn to those of a virtuous heart. That they seek to corrupt them.
>They're polite but sort of blow her off since everyone in this state is fucking nuts.
>Next week, they set up a shooting gallery outside.
>My buddy stays inside because he's from Washington and it's hot as balls outside.
>His coworker shoots for about half an hour.
>"Yo Anon!"
>My buddy walks outside. His coworker is staring out past the trailer at something on the horizon.
>It's a dude. Just standing there.
>They sit there and watch him for 10 minutes. He doesn't move. Doesn't react when they call out to him.
>He's getting farther away, like he's backing away from them. Finally goes behind a bush and vanishes.
>Later that night.
>My buddy wakes up because something doesn't feel right.
>Coworker: "You hear that too?"
>nigga_wut.jpg
>Hears a voice outside, off in the distance.
>It sounds like his mom, and it's saying his name.
>Coworker: "Dude who is that?"
>Voice is getting closer.
>They throw on their pants and run out to the car. Request an emergency transfer out of the area. It gets granted and some chads replace them.
>Emergency transferred out next month.
>Area closes down.

I told him he was full of shit, but this kid acted like he was traumatized.

I know there's an old indian graveyard on the back of a mountain that borders CO/NM. Its San Antonio mountain, quite a hike though and I'm not sure about the exact whereabouts of the graveyard.

The Coronado National Forest in southern Arizona, near Nogales. It's quite beautiful and it can get very green in the summer during the thunderstorm and monsoon seasons but I wouldn't go there at night. The road to the Pena Blanca lake has some very nice views, surrounded by impressive rock formations but it also gives you this weird feeling you're gonna be swallowed by the earth sometimes. It's also very near the Mexican border, hot spot for drug smuggling and you will probably encounter hostile aliens of a different kind. There was a woman from Nogales, Lorena Dicochea, who was murdered back in the 90's, and the mutilated body was found near the Pena Blanca lake parking lot by ranchers. Everybody here knows it was the husband who did it but somehow it's still a cold case 20 years later.

>>18717282
Where in Southern Az?

Having been born and lived in Ireland all my life (but having an American mother), reading all this stuff really fascinates me. I've never seen anything close to a desert where I am. America has a much richer tradition of spookiness than Ireland, I feel. All we have are fairies and ghosts, and no one believes in fairies anymore except old farmers who live in the midlands or out west. Ghosts are just for fun at Halloween. America's melting pot of colonists and pilgrims from all over Europe bringing traditions of witches and devils, and all the freaky shit of the natives from across the continent like thunderbirds and wendigos, and then all those modern monsters like mothman and aliens and bigfoot. I suppose it's weird to say America is in my ancestry, usually Americans would say Ireland was in theirs, but this stuff really fascinates me to no end. I've loved reading this thread.

Most of my Blythe stories involve a series of almost walking into a drug deal/criminal activity. However I do have one time I was fishing in the Three Fingers region just south of Blythe.

>Be 16.
>Dad drags me out to go fishing in the backwaters because "Muh Fatherly Bonding!".
>I love fishing. He tolerates it because I love it.
>Get to the area around 6pm.
>It's in the low 100's during the day, low 90's at night.
>Plan to fish through the night and head home in the morning.
>Catch a few fish, good times are had!
>Around 11pm, dad says he's going to go sleep in the bed of the truck, tells me I can crawl in there to sleep if I want or sleep in the chair.
>1am rolls around, alone by the water.
>Hear strange clacking from across the water-way, like hooves on stone. Think it's got to be a deer.
>Keeps closer, start hearing some heavy breathing and grunts.
>Kill my lantern and flash lights. no moon out, shit is pitch black.
>Sounds like whatever it is must be directly across the 30 or so feet of ditch i'm fishing in.
>Start to hear a lot of sniffing and low grunts.
>Hear something touch the water.
>Decide to see what it is.
>Turn on my mag-lite and flash it across the ditch.
>Hear an scream like a man being branded.
>The only thing I see ducking into the reeds and brush on the other side large, wooly leg.
>Dad comes running over scared shitless askign me what happened.
>Tell him.
>Tells me must have been a deer or something I spooked.
>Ended up not sleeping the rest of the night.
>Next morning as we go to leave, along the road out there's a ton of dead fish on spikes that weren't there in the morning.

Dunno what/who we pissed off but I wont go back there any more.

It's not for any /x/ related reasons. The Sonoran desert is lush and green. Really beautiful. The Mojave is mostly dead looking aside from scrub brush and sometimes Joshua Trees. I just find it much more aesthetically pleasing.

Of course the Sonoran has more dangerous critters. Lots more types of rattle snakes, more scorpions, and more large predators to beware of. Especially watch out for javelinas. They may look like cute little piggies but they're mean as fuck.

CA fag here
What a lot of people think is that Ca is all beaches and big cities but what they don't realize is that between those cities is farmland and basically barren land.

Pic related is the Grapevine or mountains that span all the way to Nevada. If you've ever been to LA and have to come from I-5 you HAVE to go through these mountains there is no other way.
The roads have to curve to follow the mountains and at night you are driving with a 100 foot drop of pure blackness. There is little to NO light post in the mountains so it is pitch black with free falls all around the highway.
Pretty spooky stuff man.

Yes I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agMkHrmAgzY

I see lights in the sky all the time out here in rainbow valley Arizona. thought they were air force at first but realized that the area I saw the lights at were definitely not on military land. So who knows, until we have physical proof, no one will believe shit anyhow.

Just wanted to say this is my fav thread on /x/ right now aswell as in a long time. I live in Europe an this is all one infinite ass forest, you can't escape the green. I've never seen a desert in my life, and always found them to be beautiful af. Dream of them like theyre some mythical, magical place. These stories fill my imagination, theyre so pleasureable for me to read. Thank you dry ass anons

hate to break this to you anon, but Tucson is a pretty shitty city. Those lights are likely police looking for drug dealers on the run from the law.

>>18722222
Wrong, the laws here are great. You must be a pussy that's afraid of the fact that everyone here has a more free life than most other states. We have medical marijuana, open carry handguns, and the ability to do just about anything that you want.

Live near Superstition mountains. Can confirm spooky desert things

>>18732382
Also for anyone wondering. That opening on that pillar is the entrance to the lost Dutchmans mine. Just be careful of "him" if you decide to go

I drove through most of it.. It's a wasteland. I'll never go past Texas again.. I wasn't scared, I was almost bored to death though.

>>18732220
Oh yeah? Do you live in the desert like I do? If you did you would know that literally nothing happens out here. Just a bunch of old people with ranches and shit.

>>18732441
Have you ever gone into remote places or by "living" in the desert do you mean you stay in your house 24/7. AZ has some fucked shit that I've experienced because I venture out to where people won't go.

trust me, aliens are not real.

>>18732467
Sorry I just wanted some neckbeard to try to climb up that

>>18692979
Since I read Castaneda's works as a teenager ( which may have fucked up my mind ) , I have wanted to go spend days alone in the desert.

Why is the desert considered a spiritual place in the first place ?

>>18693108
I spent a bit of time near Flagstaff AZ. Saw a lot of things in the skies, mostly weather balloons. But growing up in Nebraska, I never got as much of an eerie sensation as I did in AZ

>>18732469
I have gone to remote places. Never by myself and never unarmed except when I go hiking in the mountains. Never encountered anything scary. Maybe a snake or two but that's it.

>>18730930
It's 100% this. Neighborhoods near UofA are 50% students, 25% older couples, and 25% drug ops. You can walk out the door of a frat party and witness a shooting or get mugged on your way home.

>>18731037
I'm not the one you're responding too and I love AZ, but your two examples are bad cause if you have a med card you can't carry...so...

>>18732494
Because Natives say so.

I live east of Joshua Tree in Cali. Walking around the desert with friends and climbing boulders is what we do for fun. There was this time where it was 6 pm and the sun was setting. We were looking for places to climb, and we saw a figure on a boulder get taller and taller, so my buddy and I booked it. Scary part is, no cars were arpuns there, and since it's just a desert, you can see what's in the distant.

>>18733267
Woah, it was just increasing in size? Like proportional to it's body? Or like....stretching?

>>18732316
Well the story is that some crazy supposedly found the "Mother Lode", an enormous vein of gold, but died before he had a chance to get to it and supposedly took it to the grave.

A lot of really dumb folks go up there looking for it, or looking for his spirit. The Mountain is said to drive you mad the longer you're on it, which I might believe, considering people who live right up against that mountain are a little bonkers at least.

>>18693780
if you guys want to help, just talk to them. one of overlooked thing about beeing homeless is social isolation, often combined with substance abuse. This is the thing that seems to drive them crazy. They also usually don't have phones, so its not easy for them to find a job. If you have an old nokia lying around, think about maybe giving it away
