Mystery Site

 is a location in Red Dead Redemption.

Background
While hunting for cougars just south of Repentance Rock the player (Kulizoka) stumbled upon what appeared to be a dead deer or deer pelt. Upon closer inspection it was revealed that the pelt on the ground was some sort of burial ground. The deer pelt has markings on it and is surrounded by three tombstones with various drawings and a plate with a carving on it. A video was taken and posted on youtube of the mystery site. To try to gather more information on the site the video was posted on the forums of reddead.net. The users on reddead.net have been on a hunt for more information regarding the site. The original forum can be found here: Original Thread. The thread includes both the videos and gives all the details into the investigation.

Guardian Plate
The Guardian Plate shown below in a sketch and actual picture:

The guardian plate includes (from left to right) a sun, a large man, a devil like man, a spear or tree, and what is thought to be a buffalo.

A theory proposed by a reddead.net user seems to try to take a shot at the Guardian Plates meaning.

"It looks like the Sun is the Sun of Happiness symbol. It is being blocked by the big man so he is hiding or blocking something from the light. Could that big man represent White Man? It is all white and not colored in like the smaller one. The darkman could represent Indian people in what looks like a warrior head dress or hunting head dress. The last symbol looks close to the Symbol of a Buffalo. So the White Man blocked happiness or took happiness away. So the Dark Man hides (because he is hidden from light) near the Trees by the last Buffalo. Could it mean the Indian camp in Tall Trees?"

The Deer Pelt Map
The deer pelt markings appear to be some sort of map. An arrow pointing North-East towards the animal paw suggests something in the direction of Tall Trees. For this reason we have been working on looking at the Bearclaw Camp (where there are reports of Indian Ghosts). Another marking is a sun with a arrow pointing down towards a triangle like object. This could possible represent sun down but no one seems to have an idea what the triangle is. If the map is leading towards Tall Trees the triangle could be a mountain. The final symbol is a medicine wheel with four dots (one in each quadrant). What this suggests, no one is certain.

Our journey has also brought us to the long abandoned Indian settlement, Mescalero, just next to Warthington Ranch on Hennigan's Stead. For the most part it appears to be vacant but the arrow with the claw seems to point towards it as well. There have been some odd rock formations but we are still investigating this to see where it leads us. This wiki will be updated as more information is uncovered on the main thread concerning the site.

Layout
Just south of Repentance Rock off the main road is a smaller trail that makes a 'U' shape in front of Repentance Rock. In the middle of the 'U' in between two bushes is where this site can be found.

Clues
"Ok,so lets sum up the possible clues: -Tall Trees -White man taking away Indians' 'happiness' -Mescalero Stone circle -Sun down -Bear Track,possible Bearclaw Camp -Some weird triengle thing and some path going from the circle on the pelt to the bear track." ~EpicWolf
