If there’s one thing the high desert is known for, it’s the paranormal activity that seems woven into the land itself. From the legend of the Yucca Man to the never-ending UFO sightings over Joshua Tree, this place has earned its reputation as one of the strangest pockets in California.
When we first came here as tourists, that mystery was part of the draw. Now, after nearly a decade of living in Joshua Tree, we’ve watched the same pattern unfold with every friend or family member who visits. The sun drops, the desert gets quiet, and suddenly the questions begin:
“Why is it so dark out here?”
“What was that noise?”
And always — “Have you ever seen a UFO?”
We’ve had our own high desert encounters, and maybe one day I’ll share those stories. But after years of campfire conversations about the strange things people experience out here, I wanted to bring that same curiosity and wonder to anyone who’s ever felt drawn to Joshua Tree’s paranormal side.
The high desert has always had a way of pulling strange stories out of people. Some are old legends passed down through families, and some come from travelers who swear they saw something they can’t explain. Whether these encounters are true, misunderstood, or somewhere in between, each one adds another layer to the mystery of Joshua Tree.
If you’re curious about the history, the sightings, or the stories that never make it to the news, stick around — I’ll be sharing more soon.

I share real stories, historical cases, local legends, and eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings, cryptids, and high strangeness across the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree area. Each post explores a different encounter — from the Yucca Man to unexplained lights, mysterious visitors, and the deeper folklore tied to the high desert.
