鈥淲eird New Mexico: More Miracles, Magic and Monsters in the Land of Enchantment鈥� is Benjamin Radford鈥檚 second collection of strange happenings.

The opening weird occurrence is 鈥淭he Marian Miracle in Hobbs.鈥�

Marian, as in the Virgin Mary.

On Sunday, May 20, 2018, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Hobbs, a young girl in line for communion looked up at a 7-foot-tall statue of the Virgin Mary and saw a glare on her cheeks.

The closer the girl moved to the statue, the clearer to her that tears were dripping down her face.

At the end of the Mass, the other members of the girl鈥檚 family approached the statue and confirmed seeing tears, Radford writes.

Another couple at the service is quoted as saying they also saw tears.

Using a scaled-down bronze statue of Mary, Radford writes he conducted his own investigation in order to simulate tears.

鈥淚 reached for some olive oil and I daubed it on the insides of the eyes,鈥� he writes, without explaining why olive oil.

A surprised Radford writes that the statue continued weeping even after some oil was wiped away.

Because olive oil is non-drying, it is shiny, Radford writes; attempts to remove the oil spread it around even more.

Radford quotes several unnamed witnesses as saying the tears on the statue in the church smelled and looked more like the scented Sacred Chrism oil used in sacraments than olive oil.

Bishop Oscar Cant煤 of the Diocese of Las Cruces gave a progress report on the church鈥檚 own investigation that Radford quotes.

In the report, the bishop revealed that the 鈥渢ears鈥� were olive oil with a scented mixture, chemically similar to the Sacred Chrism, Radford writes.

Eight years after the occurrence, Radford reached out to Bishop Cant煤, Father Enrique Lopez and Deacon Jim Winder to determine if or when a final report on the church investigation would be presented.

Radford said Winder told him he didn鈥檛 expect there would be any further comment or report on the matter.

But he quoted Winder as saying that the church 鈥渓eaves it up to each individual to decide on their own if they want to accept that as a miracle or not. If it helps someone grow closer to God then that is a very good thing. If someone chooses to reject its validity, then there is no harm done.鈥�

Another weird occurrence in the book is the entry titled 鈥淭he Great Elk Murder Conspiracy.鈥�

Neither a murder nor a conspiracy, the incident was a mystery that was solved.

At issue was the reported death of a herd of elk on the Buena Vista Ranch north of Las Vegas, New Mexico, in August 2013.

Kerry Mower, a wildlife disease specialist with the New Mexico Department of Wildlife, investigated the deaths of about 120 elk. They seemed to have died within a few hours of each other and less than a mile of each other.

Initially, disease 鈥� epizootic hemorrhagic disease 鈥� was the prime suspect but was ruled out. A second and potentially more terrifying possibility arose 鈥� anthrax. After it was also ruled out, Mower considered lightning strike mortality. But no strikes were in the area at the time.

Mower moved on to other possible causes 鈥� malicious poisoning, poisonous plants, pesticides and poaching. All were rejected.

Then he considered accidental contamination of a well or water tank.

Meanwhile, as news spread nationally of the dead elk herd, Radford reported that some viewers raised other possible causes of death 鈥� animal mutilations, Satanists, UFOs, fracking or the fabled monster chupacabra, Redford writes.

One person, he writes, thought he spotted a crop circle in the area of the dead elk. The trouble was there were no crops nearby.

Mower and his team of scientists learned what killed the elk. A lab found in a water sample Anabaena, a form of naturally occurring blue-green algae that produces a deadly neurotoxin.

Radford did some of his own digging to corroborate the lab鈥檚 finding.

鈥淚n this case, the algae appeared not in ponds but in three Fiberglas livestock watering tanks not far from where the elk died,鈥� he wrote.

In the chapter鈥檚 conclusion, Radford comments that he studies the psychology of conspiracy theorists, and a central element in their thinking is that they often reject simple explanations 鈥� elk drinking bad water 鈥� in favor of more complicated ones.

Among other subjects Radford addresses in 鈥淲eird New Mexico鈥� are Bigfoot sightings, the pseudo-history of chupacabra in frontier New Mexico, an alien base under Archuleta Mesa near the town of Dulce, the Taos hum, and buildings in Albuquerque鈥檚 Old Town and in Cimarron haunted by ghosts.

Radford, a longtime Corrales resident, refers to himself as a researcher, a writer, a folklorist and, according to his website, a skeptic.

鈥淲eird New Mexico鈥� is a sequel to Radford鈥檚 鈥淢ysterious New Mexico: Miracles, Magic and Monsters in the Land of Enchantment,鈥� published in 2014.
