Monsters in the woods
I go walking every day for several miles(only missed one day so far in 2007) so recently I found a trail back thru the woods that leads to a huge cave.its a good walk to the cave and back out so that part works out well.one problem is that its kind of scary even on a bright sunny day but especially if I dont go until afternoon and then it gets dark and creepy especially in the deep dark wooded area around the cave.
Im not so much afraid of the regular animals that could be in the woods like bobcats or snakes but I have a weird feeling of scaredness about monsters.Now you know and I know there are no monsters,at least that we know of,but what if there is some unknown thing that lives out there and is creeping around just waiting to get me one day?
I know its silly to think that way,and maybe Ive read too many Stephen King books and seen too many scary movies but I just can't help but think about all the weird creatues that could ooze out of the cave when night falls.And maybe one day Ill run into one of these things on the trail and it will kill me.
Is it normal for a grown man to feel scared in the woods in daytime?

A series of stories by Richard Sharpe Shaver (supposedly claimed as factual, though presented in the context of fiction) claimed that a superior pre-historic race had built a honeycomb of caves in the Earth, and that their degenerate descendants, known as "Dero", live there still, using the fantastic machines abandoned by the ancient races to torment those of us living on the surface. As one characteristic of this torment, Shaver described "voices" that supposedly came from no explainable source. Thousands of readers have confirmed that they, too, have heard the fiendish voices from inside the Earth.
The movie "The Descent" was based on this premise. No more spelunking for ME.
Anyway The Descent was a pretty good movie.Did you ever see "Dog Soldiers" by the same director? It is awesome.
I often walk through a local reserve not far from my home. I never really thought about monsters, but more about homeless folk who set up in the woods.
I suppose it is possible. I mean there is so much we don't know. Big Foot although laughable it may be, could be very real.
I remember reading that a very large portion of the forested northeast (Maine- Canada) and western Canada is essentially unexplored. The land area is so vast that no one really knows for sure what's living there.
The cave thing sounds spooky. If I had been walking there and not thought about the monster thing I probably wouldn't bother me. But now that you mention it I think I will stay away from caves if I'm alone
