"I only caught a glimpse, but I swear it was a duende (little goblin). I can’t even explain what I saw. It was like a small humanoid creature."
I received the following account:
"Hi. My grandfather owns a ranch in the south of Texas close to the border of Mexico, and I’ve seen and heard lots of strange things out there. My cousin and I once saw a man dressed in old cowboy attire from way back when. It was late at night, like 11 pm, when we were camping outside on the ranch, and we noticed a man just sitting on the fence post looking down. We couldn’t see his face, but he had a cowboy hat on. We called out to him, thinking it was some stranger on our property (we had our guns to protect us, which is why we started walking towards him). I was really scared because we’d been out there all day and hadn’t seen anyone walking around the property, so to just see someone dressed in cowboy attire sitting there in the dark late at night was pretty scary for me (I was in high school at the time). But when we started walking closer, he was literally just gone. Like you blinked, and he just disappeared. It was so freaking crazy. Neither my cousin nor I could believe what we had just witnessed. A lot of weird things happened that night, and we ended up not staying the night. Strange noises, the sound of someone walking around our campfire, etc.
The property isn’t easy to access without being seen. You have to turn from the main road and go all the way down this long dirt road, and the property sits at the very end. My grandfather’s house sits right next to the property along this dirt road in its own little fenced-in yard. So if someone is driving down this road, you can see them coming and hear them coming from a ways.
My grandpa claims to have seen some weird-looking creature walking in the distance on his ranch in the distance that smelled horrible, and he could smell it from where he was standing. He shot his shotgun as a warning, and the creature just stared at him like it wasn’t even scared or phased. Then it slowly walked off behind some shrubbery and was gone. He claims it was a chupacabra, but of course, I can’t verify this.
Also, on this same ranch (just so many strange things we’d experience with the paranormal). We were all sitting around the campfire, and we had the trucks out there backed up towards the campfire, and we were sitting on the tailgate. Anyway, I’m with the same cousin, and he starts to freak out like, “WTF is that?” Pointing at the truck across from us. I only caught a glimpse, but I swear it was a duende (little goblin). I can’t even explain what I saw. It was like a small humanoid creature. It looked kind of human, but it wasn't. It was peeking out from behind the front tire of the truck parked across from us. I saw hands and feet and its eyes just watching us. I didn’t see any hair on it or any clothes, but again, it all happened so fast. It was only peeking out at us, so I didn’t get to see all of what it looked like, but when it noticed that we noticed it, it took off so fast I couldn’t even comprehend WTF I just saw. We were so scared we booked it so fast outta there we didn’t even lock the gate back up.
To this day, we don’t stay on that ranch after dark. My grandfather claims it used to be old Indian grounds. I also can’t verify that, but my grandfather is an honest man, and he said there’s been a few things he saw out there that scared him so much that he also doesn’t go out there anymore after dark. Plus, he’s really old now. Anyway, that’s just a FEW things I have experienced." K
I wrote the witness and received the following reply:
"Okay, so I just spoke to my grandfather and asked him about the time my cousin and I saw the cowboy on the ranch that disappeared. My grandpa said yes, he remembered, and there was also a story he had told us as kids.
People would cross the border from Mexico into Texas, and sometimes they would cross through my grandfather’s ranch when making their journey. My grandpa has a water pump type thing out there on the ranch, and back in the day, he used to leave it for people who were crossing to be able to drink out of so they wouldn’t die of dehydration. One time, he came across a man and a woman who were drinking from it, and he asked, of course, who they were and what they were doing on the property. They said they were told by the “other man” they could drink from here. My grandfather being confused, said, “What other man? There’s no one else out here; it’s my property.” They said (in Spanish, of course), “The vaquero pointed us here.” Vaquero means = Mexican cowboy. My grandpa said he never figured out who they were talking about and never saw anyone else out there. But he knew his ranch was "haunted." This was years and years before we had that experience with the cowboy." K
