heard lots of stories about sasquatch style creatures using knocking or throwing stones to lure people into certain areas. one guy said this knocking sound lured them deep into the woods (to see what it was), then they saw big “folded trees”, heard something behind them + ran https://twitter.com/maldngflgh/status/1047451975070220293 …

do not want this. tbh though i am sketch about traditional weaponry against these things. no one has ever shot one, and their near perfect rate of taking people makes me think something transphysical or hypnotic is happening.

have heard stories of people being “struck dumb” in the woods, i.e being somewhere they’ve been 100 times and being totally lost, suddenly realizing the forest is totally quiet, running and suddenly ending up on a path they know very well. i think this is part of how they hunt

Missing 411. Have these things on you to avoid this fuckery: pistol, gps, dark colored clothing. If you have these, especially with a friend, do not lose sight of each other and whatever does this won't bother you. The woods are liminal and demand your respect.

You can also break branches to trace your path and there are protection stones you can carry. Anyone who grew up in the woods like we did knows that there are certain times and places where old magic rises up and that it's to be treated with reverence and respect.

Being with others and respecting the forest will keep you safe I believe. Do not be disruptive or destructive, and relocate quickly and respectfully if something feels very wrong.

Unless you're some kind of hard headed asshole you'll receive plenty of warning that you shouldn't be there. The birds stop way before you enter the danger zone.

Yes. Respect the forest, stay aware and do not trespass where you're not welcome and you will be fine. Other animals know this innately, humans are hardheaded and stupid and must learn

Slightly unrelated but I believe doing regular earthing and practicing bonsai or gardening can get the "stink" of the woods on you and sorta cloak you and help keep you from standing out. Also the esoteric view of camo.
