In the deep swamps of Louisiana, there was a man folks whispered about. Raised on the banks of a muddy bayou, he was the son of a rough old trapper who knew the swamp better than most men know their own kin. His ma was gentle, but his pa was a hard man who taught him to wrestle gators before he could tie his own shoes.
By the time he was grown, he could take down a full-sized alligator with just one hand—and for good reason. One time, a big bull gator clamped down on his arm, thrashing like the devil himself. He didn’t scream or beg. He just thumped him in the head with his stump. Folks say he just tied off his arm, kept walking, and never missed a step.
His legend spread through the marshes like wildfire—some folks even claimed the gators themselves steered clear when they caught his scent. But the law doesn’t care much for legends, and one day a sheriff came poking around the bayou, looking to bring him in.
No one knows for sure what happened after that, but the sheriff never came out. Some say he just got turned around, swallowed up by the shadows and the mud. Sure can get lost in the Louisiana bayou.
The man wasn’t seen much after that. Some say he’s still out there, quiet as the water itself.

' I had this feeling that I was being watched, strange feeling, out in the woods, feeling paranoid, like there was someone there, hiding, out of sight. '
' Great ! I'm playing peek-a-boo with a Sasquatch, and he's winning ! '
Turns out, they have a sense of humor, pranking hunters, scaring the living daylights out of humans,
Messing with your head, projecting the thoughts they want you think, like, ' Run ! ', ' We gotta get outta here ! ', ' I'm comin' to get ya ! '
Strange thoughts, Alien thoughts, scared sheetless thoughts, running for your life thoughts.
It's just not fair when they mess with you, mental telepathy, thought projection, real crazy thoughts, scary.

Makin' it with a Yeti Girl, that would be some experience.. ' The first rule of Bigfoot is, you don't talk about Bigfoot ! '

Yeah, I'm thinking it's flipping cold out here, -15° C, 5° F,
I'm guessing Sasquatch are underground in their dens, in the Earth, staying warm, under their deerskin blankets, sharing body heat.
Waking from a nap yesterday, I recalled that scene out in the boonies, how they laughed at me, their prank stunts.
There was that story of the fisherman, looking upriver, seeing a huge hairy man jump up to the top of the riverbank, ten feet in a single bound,
disappeared behind the alders and willows, receiving ' forget me ' thoughts, which he did, for decades.
Mess with your head, scaring you, me, playing with city boy's holiday in the woods.
' Manitou is a spiritual force in Native mythology of Algonquian people.
It can refer to a spirit or the spiritual life force that is present in all things.
In Iroquois, Algonquin and Huron legends, Manitou is present in the environment,
natural phenomena, and in interactions between humans and spirit beings. '

See?
So many interesting revelations, the most significant being trust, you just can't lie to them.
Thinking of the philosophy of peaceful religion, pacifism, naturalism, like, one with nature.
Appreciation of the world we live in, nature's bounty.

I think he ran into the Sasquatch, that was thought projection, messing with his head, like magic, or maybe, technology that appears to be magic, mind reading technology, thought projection technology.
Aliens, living in the woods, all natural like, green, one with nature, I would imagine that their relationship with indigenous people was as strange, teaching them how to hunt.
100K years ago, how to hunt bison, defend against giant bears, sabretooth tigers, how to start fires, important knowledge for survival.
Yeah, they'll mess with us, but they love us.

Building a campfire to stay warm in May and June, stalked and played by giant hairy men, fooling with your mind, sending you freaky messages, like,
' Run little boy ! Run back to your truck ! We're coming to get you ! You better not stay here, it's too dangerous for you ! '
Messing with your head, making you scared of the woods, the big bad wolf, the giant grizzly bear.
Monsters !
