And many other stories told by people who grew up here (I’m not one of them). Legends of places deep in the woods, where something terrible happened, or a ghost is haunting the place, or there’s some other unexplained mysterious occurrence.
So, of course, the aliens must be here, too.
The human need to have an “evil” or mysterious figure(s) fascinates me. It is so hardwired into the psyche that it drives many to distraction. I have spent a large part of my life in the great outdoors and have never witnessed anything like these “beings”. I am a hunter so I am very in tune with my surroundings - I have seen a few mountain lions where others don’t see anything. Of course now days you can get a TV show and spread your story all over the planet.
