The Mogollon Monster
The Mogollon Monster is a creature that is said to be directly related to the infamous Bigfoot. Its body is covered in dark brown or black hair that is very long. It is said to stand anywhere from 6 feet to 8 feet in height. Those that have claimed to come in contact with this scary species state that it smells like fish and makes a very loud screeching sound.
Many sightings have occurred in and around Mogollon Rim; however, other sightings have occurred at Springerville, the Sierra Ancha Wilderness, and in the Grand Canyon. The creature is said to be shy and nocturnal. It seems to enjoy exploring areas that are designated as campsites and is said to throw stones.
Skin Walkers
The next super scary species that you may find in and around the Grand Canyon are skin walkers. The Navajo Indians believe in the legend of skin walkers – which are medicine men who have the capability of transforming themselves into a wild animal. Once transformed, they retain their own mind and abilities while taking on the abilities of the animal, too!
These scary species are mostly encountered in the nighttime hours; however, many have claimed encounters during the day, too! If you observe human tracks, they disappear, and then you notice animal tracks, you just may be in close proximity to a scary skin walker!
