The Thing in the Woods

(Edited)

Nothing brings dread into me like getting caught in a forest in the dark. Even with well marked trails, it is easy to get turned around and disoriented like it happened one time in these same woods. During that hike, I decided to utilize my manly navigation sense instead of my phone. It was getting dark, and I was expecting to come out onto a beautiful green park full of happy people, but instead found myself staring at a cliff over the ocean with no happy people in sight. Huh? Freaked me right out, then I had to basically run in the dark with only my phone illuminating the way like a Blair Witch Project situation. My heart races just thinking about it.

These days, the sun is now setting at 4:15 PM, so it gets dark quickly. There is a big psychological difference when you're out in the open, the sun hits the top of the trees, and nature explodes in all its majesty. It's another to be speed-walking to reach your goal before it gets dark. Did I mention that there are angry coyotes around here?

Cue in the X-files music. What could this sphere be? A crashed alien UAP or time-traveling machine? The artifacts of a sacrificial cult? Or performance art by bored university engineering students with a cheeky sense of humour?

I did not stick around to find out, lest I unleash some horror of eldritch proportions.

That's really weird... it looks like something for rituals or something like that. You better get out of there! But it's cool huh...

Watch out for alien nearby😆if I were you I'd play around with it and inspect it. That one piqued my curiosity!

I didn't want to get too close. Not because of the aliens or ancient evils but because of the wild life. Last time I was there, some squirrel jumped out of a garbage bin and nearly gave me a heart attack ☠️

My money is on the engineering students or wacky artist, but there was no further information on it. 😄

I am sure it is not comforting to see an old artifact while trying to stick to the path back to civilization. Did you imagine any whisperings :)

Haha. The sphere gives you a creepy feeling when you're there and it is getting dark. There were no whisperings, but there was an owl hooting. 🦉
