1976 Navajo Nation FOUR-SECOND CALL — Something Was At The Window

In April of this year, a canvas field satchel was found sealed inside the wall of the old Many Farms Trading Post on the Navajo Nation — hidden there decades ago by the man whose BIA identification card is inside. What's in that notebook doesn't match the agency's official record from October 1976. Wilson Begay was a 38-year-old Navajo range rider for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, working allotments near Many Farms, Arizona — high desert country near Chinle and the Lukachukai Mountains. In October 1976 he was sent to investigate unexplained livestock losses: no carcasses, no drag marks, and tracks that matched nothing in eight years of field guides — a bipedal stride of roughly 58 inches between six evenly spaced prints, each longer than his own 12-inch boot by several inches. A wildlife specialist who later reviewed the photographs said the sequence exceeded anything in her reference material for the region. On October 13th, his dogs went silent at the corral fence — and something in the dark called back, in a voice he recognized. Six days later, on October 19th at 9:47 PM, his routine radio call to the Chinle dispatcher cut off after four seconds. The agency logged it as atmospheric interference. His own notebook, hidden behind a trading post wall for decades, says otherwise. He requested a transfer two days later and never worked that allotment alone again. Wilson Begay, Preston Hale, and the October 1976 events are fictional. Many Farms, Chinle, Round Rock, and the Lukachukai Mountains are real Navajo Nation communities. This account deliberately avoids specific Navajo terminology, out of respect for how seriously this subject is treated in Diné tradition. Subscribe for more historical horror stories.
