Imagine a strange mist that suddenly appears out of nowhere, then vanishes as quickly as it came. No explanations from anyone, no evidence as to the origin, nothing!
The Black Mist Of Casa Grande Mountain

According to locals, the roads and pathways around the base of Casa Grande Mountain in Arizona are subject to a strange black mist after dark. Legends state that if this black mist is allowed to engulf you, it will “plague you with uneasy feelings” or even transport you away to another dimension or time altogether.
Many of these legends are said to have their routes in the culture of the Hohokam Native American tribes, who once called the area home—until they disappeared themselves without any explanation around AD 1100. Many of their ruins still exist in the area, some of which remain a mystery as to their purpose even today. According to the legends, the black mist of Casa Grande Mountain contains the ancient, living essence of the desert and has a mind of its own and should be respected at all times.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to be anywhere around that black mist.
Coffee out on the patio, where the air is dry and the weather is cool.
