The town of Roswell New Mexico is most famous for its proximity to an
alleged alien craft which crashed there in July of 1947. But those who
have lived long in the area also tell of another paranormal phenomenon
that haunts the streets of Roswell. The ghosts of Roswell are seen
today as much as ever, and one venture even offers the “Roswell Ghost
Tour” to allow visitors looking to visit the historic location of the
alleged crashed alien disc to see strange phenomena of another sort
while they’re in town. Of course this raises an interesting question:
if aliens really did crash in the desert near Roswell, could their
spirits be lingering in the desert sands as well?
Famous ghost
stories in the town of Roswell New Mexico include one family who
reports a longstanding encounter with a mysterious arm that appears
inside their home and around their property when least expected. On a
dare, two brothers slept in a shed in order to prove no ghosts existed
in that location. When 4:00 am came around, one of the brothers got
uneasy and snuck out of the shed leaving the other alone to fend for
himself. Shortly afterward the brother who remained in the shed
started screaming. He was found on the lawn moments later in ripped
clothing. He said the crawling arm had grabbed him and dragged him
outside. When the family said he had just had a bad dream, they
noticed deep claw-marks running up his back. After the incident they
decided to tear down the shed. Later, the family would build an
extension to their house onto the location. Another incident with the
mysterious arm saw a family member witnessing the mysterious arm
pulling one of the house’s small children underneath a television.
After a brief struggle the child was rescued, leaving behind a torn
blanket as the only evidence.
There is another haunted location
on the corner of 5th and Garden Street which never has occupants for
more than 6 months. The blue house is the seemingly permanent abode of
a strange apparition that appears to the residents, hides objects
throughout the house, and speaks in whispers to those visiting or
living there. The ghosts within the house are a woman named Melinda
and her husband whose name varies according to whoever is telling the
story.
But most interesting is the lack of reports relating to
the creatures, whatever they may have been, that were aboard the craft
that allegedly was aboard the craft that crashed in the desert outside
Roswell in 1947. If the same rules apply to extraterrestrial creatures
that apply to humans, is it not possible that a psychic could make
“first contact” with a deceased entity by merging the art of mediumship
and UFO hunting? Perhaps it would be a positive move toward peace with
visiting alien races if the creature who died there was “guided into
the light” as many mediums do. And if nothing else, it would prove an
interesting experiment.
