- 12 fresh cut roses stuck in the ground at the base of a tree.
- A bunch of old coal mining stuff including houses, machinery, and ventilation shafts
- a hole in a tree with Sqwerl Home written above it


I know there's others but I can't remember right now, have to think on it.

My memory was a bit off, here's a picture of the squirrel home



I've found a poo poo ton of fossils too, all marine invertebrates from mostly the Carboniferous and Devonian, and some Cambrian.

I like the hint about non native plants as evidence for an old homestead!

This reminds me, there's a park here in Calgary where there's a section cordoned off to try and reintroduce native species and to see how long it takes to reestablish native grasslands. On a field trip for a biogeography class we visited the site and someone had planted a sapling douglas fir right in the middle of it, which is not endemic to the area, but only grows 100km to the west in the mountains. My prof was pissed!

I feel that woods porn is common enough that it's difficult to call it "weird".

As much as I dedicate my practices to Leave No Trace, I am in love with those tiny camps and want to do it too.

Coral fungus, there's a lot that grows around here. Not sure if it's edible.

Fine, I'll stick to ethically sourced ivory

Get stuff made from tagua nuts. Looks and feels just like ivory.

Also near DC, there is a trail with some petroglyphs on it. They are not widely known, a friend told me where to find them, but warned weird stuff would happen if I went to see them.

Girlfriend and I went and sure enough:

-she lost her wallet, it was returned in the mail weeks later.
-saw a jogger in a weird mask
-saw two sketchy guys dump a bag of probable deer guts in the creek, all while hiding from us.

I had some weird stuff happen to me at the place I was living in Belize, which was a facility built on an old Mayan burial site. When they were digging a new manatee pool they found human bones. There's a big pile of pottery shards in the main house there.

I stayed in the hut they said was the most haunted. One rule is we're not allowed to be out at night without a light because there are coral snakes and rattlesnakes. In the middle of the night, someone with no light came up to our door, which just had a mosquito net covering it, and stood there for a few moments before walking away. One night after we had all gone to bed, our bathroom light turned on without the cord being pulled. I heard the sound of a bucket being thrown outside of our window, but there was no bucket there. And twice in the main house, I was alone at 5:30 am and heard heavy footsteps outside the bathroom door. Both doors to the house make really loud noises, so it wasn't like someone snuck in to prank me or anything. People said they often heard kids laughing in the woods at night while walking to a bunkhouse from the main house, but the closest kids live over 3km away.

I'm not much of a big ghost believer, but I certainly experienced some weird poo poo living in those woods.

And also I snapped a skull shaped cloud from a plane over the area I lived when I left, which I thought was hilarious. I sent the picture to all the people I volunteered with.
