Encounter in Yucca Park

“I lived in El Paso all my life. I grew up in the Lower Valley and had paranormal experiences since a very young age. I have felt creepy chills in the back of my neck when I have been near haunted places and heard strange noises outside. Once, I was in Yucca Park in the evening. It was a breezy spring night. I went walking in the park, and when I went to my car to get my sweater, I turned back and saw a young man in his 20s with a pompadour hairstyle, like from the 50s. I found it odd; his clothes looked so old-fashioned and out of place—jeans, a brown flannel shirt with a t-shirt underneath, rolled-up jeans, and brown boots.

He appeared in front of me and in Spanish said, ‘¡Ayúdame!’ He told me to help him. I grabbed my phone to maybe call 911, but he was holding his stomach, then he disappeared. He faded away. I started to shake and sweat, and my phone fell from my hands. I ran from the parking lot. I sat on one of the benches to calm down. I have never seen anything like that or been through it. I wonder what happened to that young man.” -Audrey
