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.

I’ve been mountain biking around the wild lands of California for almost 40 years now - and I can tell you I have surprised many a man woman child an animal Alike !
I’m very polite however, I never ever run anybody over
In fact I’ve sacrificed myself first a few times

I through hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 1975, most of which is in California, and never experienced this.

You think that’s scary? Here’s a picture of a creature I came across while hiking in the woods last summer. Did I run from it while screaming like a little girl? Yes I did.

I have seen some really weird, strange things in the East Tennessee mountains......
I quit drinkin’ moonshine in 1996 and haven’t seen any of these things since.....

That’s a good idea. I also admired Snidely. And I could tie my ex-wife to a railroad track. She won’t mind. Heheh.

Yes, that’s the look I’m going for.

Yikes!
A sighting of the Witch of the Chappaquiddick waste, looking, no doubt, for her lost bottle of chardonnay! (I do not see her familiar, Huma Cat!)

This bird is one of the freakiest I have seen and would scare me at night. It doesn’t make a sound in this video but the sound it does make is as freaky as it looks when it opens it’s huge mouth

Maybe because the PCT is nowhere near the Santa Lucia Mountains?

The Santa Lucias are a coastal range, which is where this occurrence is reported.
