Out on Foot

Nightly Patrols and Ghostly Tales of a US Border Patrol Agent

By: Rocky Elmore

Narrated by: Richard L. Palmer

Length: 6 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

When Rocky Elmore joined the United States Border Patrol, he knew it would be a journey fraught with danger. But little did he know that the very real trails he walked night after night would soon lead him into surreal encounters from a different dimension. This was never more evident than when the ghost of a recently fallen fellow agent began to appear on top of the cliff from which he died. It marked the beginning of the end to one of the most bizarre series of events in the history of the US Border Patrol.

This collection of true stories provides a rare look into law enforcement that includes not only the routine nightly patrols of the USBP but also actual paranormal activity as it happened to the agents in the field. Listeners will go on nightly patrols with the agents of the Brown Field Border Patrol Station, and will face their worst fears as they come face to face with smugglers, mountain lions, ghosts, and even a Sasquatch in this isolated no-man's land. Out on Foot takes place in the mysterious Otay Mountains just east of San Diego, California. It is an emotional roller coaster ride that is not for the faint of heart.

Where does Out on Foot rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Definitely one of the best audio books I have listened to. The story is entertaining and I have no doubts that it is true. The narrator selected was a perfect choice for the book, giving a non-stop, great delivery!

I am fortunate enough to know that parts of this story are absolutely true. I did not work for
the Border Patrol but, I have been fortunate enough to have received some training from them.

Review for "Out on Foot"

I recommend this book for both its paranormal aspects and , perhaps more importantly, the information communicated regarding what is really happening at our southern border.

Great unusual stories from beyond the average Joe

I heard the author speaking on a pod cast with this calm deep voice. It came alive fast and I was hooked and got the audio book. The book is really good! What's bad is the editing that coud have been a lot better and the voice talent is too stiff, trying to sound cool more than create dynamics and I can hear every punch in and that sucked. It lack depth this way and it bothered me all the way as it could have been a 5star! WHY didn't the author voice record himself, he has the BEST voice ever!? Nonetheless, the stories are great and we are invited into a world many few know about and I loved every (almost) bit of it! This turned into a script would make an excellent MOVIE! Make it happen!

Takes a While to Get to the Spooky Part

Has lots of background on how the Border Patrol trains and works but very spooky in the last half.

Highly recommend

This book sheds a bright light on the U.S. Border Patrol and the situations they face daily, along with very credible accounts of paranormal activity as well as some good laughs. Well-written and narrated, this is a very nice addition to any collection.

Spine tingling non-fiction, awesome!

This story is incredible. The facts as the author has strung them together and the inflection of the narrator's voice at just the right moments kept me in such a state of anticipation I could hardly wait to hear the next encounter. I highly recommend Out on Foot.

Very good

I enjoyed this book immensely and came away with a tremendous respect for the border patrol. Even without the spooky happenings it takes tremendous courage to patrol our borders! There are certainly some interesting tales to ponder in this book and it raises more questions than answers. Drives the point home (at least to me) that there is more out there than we can explain.

A Bit Rambling

First of all, I thank the author for his service. That said, this was maybe 8% ghost stories, 35% mountain lion stories, and the rest are general border patrol experiences. Sometimes bit rambling and felt a little disorganized. It was still entertaining and informative.

Fun book to listen.

This book brings you into the field of a border patrol agent with a mixture of paranormal experiences he’s encountered

A well written book and an awesome read or listen.

I couldn't stop listening to it. The stories about what our border patrol encounters is mindboggeling. It really makes you wonder how many illegals are killed by mountain lions alone. If you want to know why we should secure the border read this book. It will open your eyes to how dangerous certain parts are.
