Incidents around home on Mescalero IR
Account
In March 1997, two sisters driving to their mother's house encountered a large hairy figure sitting beside a dirt road. When headlights illuminated it, the figure stood to seven feet or taller and then moved toward the river. The witnesses were frightened and said it was neither a bear nor a human.
