Wild man of Catemaco

        The Lake at Catemaco, MX is amazingly beautiful and said to be haunted by many spirits. It is surrounded by a large area of jungle like vegetation.  The RV park we occupied was several blocks from the end of a road and we were told by everyone around our site that it probably was not safe past that end.

     Early the next day after the big RV brake event, we awakened to police sirens.  We looked out our window and saw several cars with Policia on their side and even an ambulance.  We did not go outside and everyone soon went on their way.  Later on, one of our neighbors told us that a young woman from the park had taken a walk in the woods and been attacked by what was seemingly a wild Man in the woods at the end of the block.
Jungle?

     She had hit him with her walking stick and escaped back to the park in a state of hysteria.  That all sounded bad enough, but we were lucky enough to unknowingly become acquainted with this young woman and her traveling companion and we were the lucky ones who got to spend a day with them, including hearing the story of "the attack".  That is a story for another day.  More to come.
