Hello Vamparilla;
We need to pay attention to the quiet spooky silence that you describe. You should always be armed out on trails at least with a strong 6 to 8 inch fixed blade knife attached to a belt with a leather sheath. If a predator is watching you, you will feel it or other times it's simply a silent moment. Watch a you tube video on Marine Corps knife fighting as we were taught or carry a 38 revolver. Feel safe, be safe, have fun.
"Every town has a history—you know, the stuff they teach you in school and brag about on those fancy, roadside historical markers. But what about the stuff they don’t teach you? What other notable happenings have slipped through the cracks and been lost to time? This is the history of one small western Pennsylvania town. It’s also a collection of some not-so-well-known historical accounts—long-forgotten tales of strange encounters, mysterious beasts, and ancient legends. How much truth is in these stories…well, that’s up for you, the reader, to decide.valentinebrkich.com" Bigfoot Slept Here: A Partly True But Way More Exciting History of One Small Town: Brkich, Valentine J, Durbin, Frederic S, Harper, Daniel: 9780981687797: Amazon.com: Books
