Pre-dawn screams on the Mescalero Reservation
Account
About 20 years ago, the witness and a cousin were walking early in the morning toward the paved road to hitchhike to work. From the treeline across the road they heard frightening noises that seemed to follow them, stopping when they stopped and moving when they ran, with branches snapping audible. With no nearby houses for refuge, they flagged down a passing truck and got in.
