New Mexico’s twin traditions of the scientific and the supernatural meet for the first time in this long-overdue book by a journalist known for investigating the unexplained. Strange tales of ghosts, monsters, miracles, lost treasure, UFOs, and much more can be found not far from the birthplace of the atomic bomb. Huge radio astronomy dishes search desert skies for alien life, and the world’s first spaceport can be found in this enchanted land; in many ways New Mexico truly is a portal to other worlds. Mysterious New Mexico is the first book to apply scientific investigation methods to explain some of New Mexico’s most bizarre lore and legends. Using folklore, sociology, history, psychology, and forensic science—as well as good old-fashioned detective work—Radford reveals the truths and myths behind New Mexico’s greatest mysteries.

Tales of an Enchanted New Mexico begins and ends with tales from Old New Mexico brought over dusty trails from Spain into the New World, and finally into Northern New Spain, ie, Northern New Mexico. Both La Llorona and Comadre Sebastiana have been adapted into short stories from the traditional mythological tales they are. The story of the Comanches is based in the late 1700’s, taken from the Comanche perspective as they lived their lives, and their interactions with local communities both Pueblo People and Spanish, and the government of their time. Manitou Bridge, the Taos Rio Grande Gorge Bridge story, as the Algonquian word manitou means, supernatural forces that permeate the world and in this case, brings animation to the major bridges in the story, as Manitou Springs in Colorado, by immersing oneself in the natural springs, one is animated.

There is a mystical quality to the land and sky in New Mexico. Places with long histories, such as New Mexico, breed superstition, carrying the memories, stories, and beliefs of those who have passed before. The state is such a notoriously superstitious place that real estate agencies post notices about whether a house is “truly” haunted, with pseudo-legal discussions about the need to disclose this information publicly. There is a haunted State Monument in Lincoln County, and a lovelorn ghost wanders through one of the state’s national parks. There are ghosts who are friendly and fearsome. Stories that have become fables, and others that are fully believed. Haunted New Mexico will occasionally ask you to suspend belief, showing those cracks between what is real and imagined.
