El Pasoans hiking up McKelligon Canyon expect a stunning view of the mountain and city and maybe even a glimpse at a rabbit or other wildlife.
They don’t expect to see a naked man who’s been living in a cave for three years.
A group of friends said their Sunday morning hike was spoiled after they came upon a mysterious cave that had furniture, personal effects, and other signs that someone was living there. Chris Redfearn, one of the hikers, shot cell phone video of the cave and surrounding area.
Then, out of nowhere, a naked man jumped out of the cave, chasing the hikers down the mountain, and giving them quite a scare, Redfearn said.
People living at an apartment complex at the foot of the mountain said they’ve known about the cave dweller for a while and that they are afraid of him.
“Normally, he's like wandering around,” one apartment complex inhabitant said. “We never know what time he's going to show.”
They sometimes spot him early in the morning, bathing in their laundry room, or even working out on a jungle gym.
"I don't feel safe,” one neighbor said.

He also talked about President Obama and Mitt Romney, calling one the "black Bush" and the other the "white Bush,"The man said he's not hurting anyone, lives off of donations and recycling cans.
"What is my crime? You ask my good neighbors, most of them help me," he said before dismissing those that complain about him as busy bodies. "I'm sin free in every city. I'm baptized and saved. They need to worry about their own selves, to repent and help the community more."
Watch the full interview with the cave dweller here Warning, it does contain some strong language.

I hope not.
Of course, I live alone in an earth-bermed off-grid house way the heck up on a hill in rural upstate NY, with no neighbors other than state-forest or lumber-company trees everywhere I look.
Okay, okay, I admit it, I sometimes stand on my front porch naked. But I have yet to chase anybody. There's nobody to see me. :)
