Red, Tall and Ridden by a Devil
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite, the guys start the show talking about drinking fizzy water and how “Big Phizzy” is reaching out to other international brands. Also, how Cam is planning on sealing his fence this weekend. Then, they get into the news.
First off, a woman named Miss Bertha Humphries of North Walsham in Norfolk, stumbled upon the inexplicable. A strange looking craft of some sort with a sail. Then, Cam tells a recent account of a person being stalked by not one but multiple Rakes!
After the break, Cam brings up a very strange Arizona Ghost Story! It was the spring of 1883, and the men were off with their flocks. They had left two women with the children at a cabin near Eagle Creek in the hill country of eastern Arizona, and one of the women stepped out to fetch water from a spring. Arizona was a different place then – Geronimo and his warriors had left the reservation, grizzlies and wolves roamed the hills, cattle rustlers rode the range. The woman was not gone long before the screaming and howling began.
The woman inside the cabin raced to the window, looked outside, covered her eyes and began to pray. Then she barricaded the cabin door and waited until the men returned that night. She told them what little she saw – a flash of red. Hooves and old bones. The men grabbed their guns, went to the spring and found the other woman’s dead body, “trampled and crushed as though a troop of cavalry had run over her,” a newspaper reported later. There were large hoof prints in the ground. When questioned by a coroner, the woman from inside the cabin spoke of a beast: red, “very tall and ridden by a devil.”
