3: Deep in the Woods
3 things that unnerve us about being deep in the woods.
- If you follow footsteps in the woods and it abruptly ends, there's a chance they may have been lifted up and eaten.
- A storm overtook a friend and I as we climbed a steep Catskills trail, the sky cracking open with a downpour so fierce it felt like the mountain itself was dissolving. Wind lashed, rain hammered our skin, and thunder shook the ground as we huddled beneath a tree, drenched and shivering. Minutes stretched endlessly, the thunder and rain drowning all other sounds. Then, just as suddenly, the storm passed. The woods were silent, unchanged, as if it had never happened at all.
- This eerie, natural phenomenon makes a forest appear as if it's breathing.
