NP There is a spot on the Mayo river where a large treasure is supposedly buried. Three of us were walking along the bank, to our right was an area covered with small trees and brush, perhaps 50 -75 meters wide & 100 meters long, on the other side was a series of parallel cliffs.
As we walked along, I suddenly heard a group of burros calling and running through this patch of brush. When we came to the end, the noise also came to this point, then stopped. Naturally I had to investigate, nothing, nor tracks.
As I was telling them what I had heard, wife looked startled and said "they were goats Jose, I could hear the bells ?" My friend then said "no, it was a bunch of dogs, I could hear them barking."
""
We then checked for tracks, there were none or were any branches or twigs broken or laying on the ground.
Later we heard that this was a common occurance there, many had experienced this, but each heard a different sound
?
I have several other stories similar to this, none of which can be successfully explained.
I even have the data of a treasure that was found this way. A headless person dressed in black, with turn of the century - 1800's - clothing was often seen under certain conditions. He would appear and then give a toss of his head (?) indicating follow me - but he was headless?? He would then walk to a certain tree on the arroyo bank then dive into the roots.
A certain courageous guy decided to dig at the roots of the tree and uncovered several mule loads of silver bars with some silver coins. The apparition never appeared again ?
Then there is the huge, black, phantom dog that showed me a hidden mine, Las Remedios , part of the Tayopa group.
Have many other unexplainable stories. if you want.
