      Talk about takin' the graveyard shift. And with a skeleton crew of one grindin' his fingers to the bone! They say seniors live longer if they're workin', but this guy Santiago wouldn't give up the ghost! That's the spirit! I wish I was that dead set on my life goals. Is it morbid to say the handler felt the gravity of the situation when Santiago scared him to death? I may be beating a dead horse, but that border agent got blood from a stone that night. I mean he pulled off somethin' impossible and the perfect crime, at the same time- no body of evidence, no jurisdiction, no harm no fall!

    Just a quick clarification on the first story: "El Fantasma" is how we say "the ghost"-- a generic name for an apparition in Spanish. Also, Snap Judgement covered this a few years back and they interviewed the border patrol agent whose radio went off at 12:02am. Worth checking it out as they have some other good ghost stories in there.

    • @jackspring7709
      @jackspring7709 3 роки тому +26

      Understood: tbh Fantasma is quite close to an English word 'Phantom' which is another name for ghost here, so many of us understood the word. I remember seeing an interview with the border agent a number of years ago about the incidents with his deceased colleague.

      A couple years back in 2018, my last year in the Boy Scouts before I aged out, we were camping at Otay Lake camping park. It’s in either January or February and the weather was relatively cold for us the South westerners who are spoiled of good warm weather. So non of us really got a good sleep as the temperature was low, at midnight we heard some utv coming to our camp presumably from the trails in the otay mountains and some adult leader and me woke up, we saw them and realize they were frightened by something so we ask them things like are they okay and what happened. The rider said that they were just enjoying off-road activities o the trail when they heard multiple gunshots and yelling close by, but when they look there are no one around, no border patrol, no smugglers, nothing. They said something along the line that they just felt a sudden chill run down their spine and they head North towards civilization as soon as possible. After a short talk the border patrol came and talked to them, I was not able to hear what they talked about but after they talked, the border patrol gets on their Chevy Tahoes and accelerate quickly towards south and few minutes later we heard helicopters flew by.
      Granted the shot could be from a prison that was a few miles south and the quietness amplified them, but it did not explain the yelling and how the border patrol was apparently terrified and rushed to the direction with an aiding of a helicopter.

    Agent Santiago was a total boss. He continued to do his job protecting the border, from beyond the grave. He even helped some illegal aliens survive a journey that might have killed them, showing some deep compassion for those he had no real need to show compassion towards. He even avenged himself. Man, what a boss.
    The other things this Elmore fella talked about happening there were also interesting. The faceless woman, the mysterious little girl, the house orbs, cat-people and even bigfoot. This book, and subsequently episode, had a little bit of everything in it.
