I was walking in the woods near Copenhagen and stumbled upon this weird artefact thrown in the bushes. I put it on the trail for a photo and left it there for someone else to be creeped out. I wonder if I should have kept it?

My boyfriend and I aren’t really sure what to think. We went to a state park in West Virginia during off season, according to the park ranger (and the conditions of the hiking trails) we were the only ones there for the week and had been the first there in a while. I took this pic at the top of the mountain. Behind the pillar should have been nothing, a drop off to the woods below. are we bugging? that really looks like a hand.

I got offered a voodoo doll in Hoh Rainforest, by this construction worker who said he found it buried under a tree. Looks like it’s made of some sort of fur and has some sort of hair on its head. Eyes look new-ish? Super weird. Should we get rid of it? Just came her for 5 days and it would be a very interesting souvenir but this may be out of my pay grade. Help on any info of what this is, what to do with it, where to ask, etc would be appreciated. To be honest I don’t really believe in this but it was very odd and strange things have been happening on this trip. Also my girl’s streak was 666 today with her friend. Please take me seriously just for a second lmfao I can elaborate on everything that happened I cannot make this up.

My bf was doing work on electric poles and was following pole lines and found this lone fireplace. He thinks it’s haunted. He’s in Georgia somewhere in south Newport and we are from Tampa fl so he never seen anything like this.

Found what I’m guessing to be a 1982-1985 gen Mustang GT 5.0 in the woods near my house. Looking to either see why it’s there. Or what’s going on with it. Any suggestion on how to proceed? It’s not on anyone’s property but the county? But I’ll check the property lines just to be safe. No tag but sticker in window says the last inspection was in October of 1993. In pretty great shape besides the minor damage in front and the c*****d windshield due to a tree growing against it.

Back in 2018 I had an incident with a bigfoot/yeti. It was when I was away at college at Grand Valley State University, the campus was surrounded by thick woods that went on for miles into different neighboring counties. My friends and I hiked miles thru these woods and would hangout in them every single day. One day in the middle of February, we were hiking down these deep ravines/valleys in the woods and it was super cold since it was mid february in Michigan and while we were hiking I stopped dead in my tracks when I was looking at the ground because I noticed these huge bare footprints, that were heavily indented in the snow/ice. You could tell it was something on 2 feet bc there were no paws in front of the footprints. Mind you, at this point we were many miles away from campus just hiking in another county. So I don’t think it was another student messing w us, like who is gonna be barefoot in the snow in the middle of february far out in the woods?? We followed the footprints as far as we could but lost track at some point. This incident scared my friends and I so much because even before this, we had experiences in these woods that felt like something was watching us and also my friends saw something swing from treetop to treetop, I live in Michigan so there’s no monkeys for sure but this footprint incident solidified our fears from before and really convinced us there was a yeti/bigfoot in these woods. I even looked up sightings online after and there have been multiple sightings in the county I was in.

I found a shrine at a spot on a lake. One day I found just the shrine the next I find a dead mouse on it. And these symbols go up to the spot. I have a picture of the mouse? But shouldn’t post that here I assume.

I was out hiking pretty far off trail heading to a spot I go to looking for newts when I came across this pile of abandoned VHS tapes. They had lables that got ripped off or were unlabled. There were more under the leaf litter along with a plastic bag. My wife wanted to take one home and try to watch it, but Ive seen this movie before and it never turns out well.

Found this on a hike in southeastern Ohio near the border of West Virginia. There used to be lots of coal mining in the region in the early 1900s so maybe it has something to do with that?

I was deer hunting on my family’s woodland property this morning and stumbled upon this in a swamp. I thought it might be part of an old wall, but there was only trees around. It’s too purposeful to be random and the right size for an adult. The land has been in our family for 3 generations now, so I have to ask my father. In the meantime tell me what you think. Is it a grave or something else, because I can’t stop thinking about it.
