Into the Woods
In almost every country across the world, there are myths and legends about the woods. According to anthropologists, most of these stories come from parents who are trying to teach their kids not to go into forests alone, so they make up stories about fictional beings to scare their children.
However, in some cases, these stories have no logical basis and are actually based on something real! Whatever this strange thing was, it can’t have been too monstrous because the Reddit user in the story lived to tell the tale. Maybe it was just an angry bear or another natural piece of wildlife.
