When not everyone knows where Shadows in the Desert: High Strangeness in the Borrego Triangle lay, perhaps it’s best to check those road maps! Thankfully, cryptozoology podcasters Derek Hayes (Monsters Among Us) and David Flora (Hysteria 51) know where it is, and I have to commend them for daring to do what others will not–to go camping overnight! Although this region of Southern California is not as famous as others, there’s still plenty of folklore attached.
As for whether they involve aliens or ghosts, just what’s said to lurk here is just as haunting. One of the first places they hit was Solano. Here, the residents had a lot to say, and with no surprise the first topic was Bigfoot! I shouldn’t be surprised, even though I wouldn’t expect this creature to frequent the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park region. I had to do some additional research, and mention the area stretches from Hemet to the Salton Sea and down to the US-Mexico border near Jacumba Hot Springs. Also, I imagine the chupacabra is also lurking nearby.
