Pic related. When I was a kid I was walking with my mom along the road just down the street by a treeline and tied to one of the trees by it’s neck was a baby doll.
Very unnerving.
We never found who did it or why.
Years later I was out with my mom again in another part of the woods and she swore she saw something that looked humanoid and albino, like all white. It scared her enough that she wanted to leave right then.
Still think about both of these from time to time.
Used to find weird wooden sculptures like some shit out of Blaire Witch in the woods around my dad’s house where I spent a lot of time roaming around as a kid.
One time also saw a Great Horned owl sitting up in a gnarled old oak tree at night and it just sat there staring at my friend and I ominously, not moving not hooting like you usually expect an owl to or flying off like a startled animal typically would. Also those things are fucking HUGE, it was one of the most unnerving things I ever experienced out there.
I grew up deep in the mountains so the woods typically don’t scare me even at night even without lights, in fact hiking at night I prefer a no lights policy with my cousins as we know the area extremely well but that owl sticks with me.
