A spiteful, pitiful woman filled with disillusion over misguided dreams.

I’ve heard of the Brocken Spectre and stories of the witches coven on Walpurgis night, but I didn’t know we had this here.

"When I was 12 living in rural Wisconsin, I saw a dark figure (silhouette) standing at the crest of a hill on corn field just after harvest. Wearing a wide brim hat and cloak."

You know what a scarecrow is, don't you?

Large humanlike figures were reported in both WW’s.

Terence McKenna had a great term for such “spooky” or “weird” stuff. He called them “metaphysical spankings”, natures way of reminding us we are not at the top of the hierarchy of being.
Ooh, I'm savin' that!

Thanks BenLurkin. Cryptobiology topic, also fits under Oh So Mysteriouso. If you see a family of sasquatch running from one of these Dark Watchers, ya better run too!

If you come across it, just don't look it in the eyes...

“We ran to the garage and pulled out our baseball bats.”

That was silly! Everyone knows those things aren’t in season until later in the fall! ;)

Creepy. The only other-worldly thing I’ve ever seen was my Grandma who came to visit me a few weeks after her funeral.

I know the exact ‘tingling’ feelings you had, but I wasn’t the least bit scared - just happy to see her again! :)

And you can try to tell me it wasn’t really happening, but it was really happening!

[[I quit drinkin’ moonshine in 1996 and haven’t seen any of these things since.....p]]

So what you are saying is that life is boring now?

Everytime I think I see a dark watcher, a chupacabra slaps me upside the head and tells me I’m hallucinating again
