It's been decades since reports have been widespread. But for half a century, downtown Clovis was haunted by ghostly apparitions, heart-stopping screams and midnight mysteries. Hundreds -- sometimes thousands -- of ordinary, working people reported witnessing the frightening events. Newspapers documented much of them as well. A 1935 Clovis Evening News-Journal report warned of "table raising ... ghostly spirit slate writing ... talking skulls." The ghosts, the newspaper...

My wife and I have been binge watching a new show on YouTube. Kent Rollins Cowboy Cooking has apparently been around a long while, but we’ve just stumbled onto his videos in the last few months. I put it on the tube one night before either of us had slumbered off to siesta time in our recliners and three or four episodes later we were still both awake and hooked on this Oklahoma cowboy named Kent Rollins and his chuck wagon and outdoor cooking. He hams it up in high cowboy sty...

A conversation-starter question at a meeting I was at last week asked those at the table to describe their first paid job. It was right down my alley and those at my table had to suffer through my long story of paperboy to publisher. We moved to Portales in 1970 and I turned 11 that spring. I saw an ad needing kids for newspaper routes, so I inquired about the opportunity. Circulation Manager Lewis Toland listened to my spiel and told me he was sorry but the minimum age to...

One of the fun things about my job is that folks expect the local chamber of commerce to know everything. Including, very frequently, local history. That might include someone trying to figure out where great-grandpa's homestead was or where the business granddad started in the 1930s might have been located. I get a lot of calls from confused people who have an old Portales address that dated before all the street names got a change. They'll get to looking at present day maps...

Leonard Madrid's plays are a reflection of his growing up in the Hispanic culture of Portales and his familiarity with Latino communities in New Mexico. Many of his plays are actually set in north Portales, where, he says, the people speak a mix of Spanish and English that are unique to the community. Madrid's plays have received the Latinx Playwriting award at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. One play, "Aurora" was performed at a national festival for new playwrights...

Alpacas can show you just how gentle a relative of llamas and camels whose heads come up to a six-foot-tall person's shoulders can be. If you found yourself surrounded by them as they follow their owner and the food buckets, you would not be afraid of them. You can stroke the wool on their necks, but they'd rather you didn't. They tolerate human presence with what seems to be cheerful curiosity. Their wool makes soft, warm clothes, blankets and even rugs. The alpacas' owner,...

Briefly last week I thought I might have an identity crisis, but it turns out I’m just becoming more unique. The man on the radio asked me if I’d ever searched my name on the internet and if I needed to repair what’s out there. So naturally, with the World Wide Web as close as my cell phone, I did as I was told. It seems the most popular Karl Terry out there seems to be an old dude at least 20 years my senior who is a long-time rock and roll singer in Liverpool, Engla...
