I think the stick man is creepier than the cross. This is from a youtube video, not sure if I can link here but it's from the channel EWU. Very interesting watch, from the SAR hiker who finds the remains and helps the deputies get to it, to the investigation of the area, to the sad story at the end.
That’s what my mom said to me.. while sitting on the porch overlooking the backyard. I looked over and said “the dog bones?” She immediately started talking about my missing brother. She hadn’t spoken of him in years.
She was well into her dementia at this point but when he went missing she was adamant that I not report it. She didn’t want to shut off his social security payments either and I don’t know if she ever did.
I had my suspicions I had shared with my husband long before those words came out of her mouth.
Her and my dad were very violent in my younger years. Had a belt out around my neck and was choked while my mom screamed for my dad to “kill me”. Emotionally abusive too. All of us kids had to deal with it.
He was an adult alcoholic. Not a saint by any means but he was my brother and was traumatized by his childhood
She passed in 2024. I have finally contacted authorities so I do not have to sit with this.
We have gotten permission to search the backyard from the new owners
I hope I am wrong.
This is completely true… it’s been years and my siblings and I still bring it up. I have searched these things up several times and have yet to hear of any similar stories.
When i was about 11 (8 years ago) my family and I lived in Sammamish. We lived in a secluded area with about 3 neighbors that were also secluded. We had just gotten our trampoline which we used frequently at all hours of the day. One evening my older sister(12-13), my younger brother(8-9), and I were jumping on the trampoline when I heard my brother let out a shriek. Suddenly, three cloaked and rather short figures came out of the woods and toward the trampoline. My siblings and I immediately ran out and up to our house. We were very freaked out and tried to tell our parents what happened, but when they looked outside in our backyard… nothing was there. These figures kinda remind me now of some sort of cryptid…. I did not see any faces and they were all around the same height which was short maybe around 4’8-5’0. I still remember this incident very vividly and there seems to be no explanation.
Any thoughts of what we might have seen?
Or does anyone have any similar stories?
We moved out of Washington about 2 years later and the area where we lived is no longer secluded… there are more houses and apartments, so the woods are pretty much non existent over there. We had also experienced a couple of weird things while living there.

"That is exactly what happened to Andreas Gruber in March 1922, just days before his entire family vanished. What makes the Hinterkaifeck murders the ultimate psychological horror story isn't just how they died—it's what the killer did after...
In late March 1922, on a remote, snow-covered homestead in Germany, a farmer named Andreas Gruber found a trail of fresh footprints in the snow. They led from the dark, surrounding forest directly to his house—but there were no returning footprints leading back away.Over the next few days, the family began hearing heavy, deliberate footsteps echoing from inside their locked attic. They also found a strange, unfamiliar newspaper in their kitchen and noticed their house keys had gone missing. Days later, all six occupants—including their children and a brand-new maid who had arrived just hours prior—were brutally murdered with a pickaxe.
The autopsy revealed the killer did not leave after the murders. They lived inside the house with the corpses for nearly four days, feeding the farm cattle, stoking the fireplace, and eating the family's food while the bodies lay nearby.
If this was a robbery or a crime of passion, the killer would have fled immediately to avoid being caught red-handed. Why risk staying in a house full of bodies for four days just to tend to the farm chores? What do you think they were actually waiting for, or trying to hide, during those four days?

In 1928, a young boy named Walter Collins disappeared in Los Angeles. His mother, Christine Collins, was desperate to find him. Weeks turned into months with no answers. Until suddenly, police announced they had found her son alive. It should have been a miracle. A happy ending, but she refuses to accept it. Not because she didn’t want it to be true, but because she knew it wasn’t him. She pointed out differences in his appearance. His height. His features. Even details that only a parent would notice. Yet, instead of taking her seriously, the police told her she was wrong. They said she was confused and so overwhelmed by emotion that she just needed time to adjust.
Under pressure, she took the boy home, but her instincts didn’t change. She kept insisting this wasn’t Walter, but instead of investigating Christine's concerns, the police had her committed to a psychiatric ward. She was locked away not because she had done anything wrong, but because she refused to accept what they were telling her.
While she was being silenced, the truth started to come out. The boy eventually admitted he wasn’t Walter Collins. His name was Arthur Hutchins, and he had pretended to be the missing child. Just like that, everything Christine had been saying was proven right, but by then, the damage was already done. The case sparked outrage when it became public. People were shocked that a mother could be ignored, dismissed, and even institutionalized for telling the truth. Christine later sued the city and won, but no outcome could undo what she went through.
Around the same time, authorities arrested Gordon Northcott in connection with crimes involving multiple children. While Walter Collins’ fate was never definitively confirmed, many believe he may have been one of the victims. That means the real tragedy may have been unfolding while the wrong child was being sent home. This story was so powerful that it inspired the movie Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie. The film follows her fight against a system that refused to listen, showing just how far she had to go to prove something she knew from the beginning.

I am looking for some perspective on a pattern I have been experiencing over a long period, and I want to see if anyone else has encountered this or has information on it.
Recently, when certain individuals express anger toward me, they will deliberately come up and place a hand on my shoulder. It feels like a very intentional, calculated action meant to cross a personal boundary. A few days after this specific type of contact happens, I notice that I get physically sick or suddenly feel completely "off."
To be completely upfront, I genuinely don’t know what is going on with this. I am trying to figure out if it is a psychological power play meant to break down boundaries, or if it involves some kind of alternative biotechnology/tracking method. I am admitting that I don't know for sure, and I am not trying to jump to conclusions—I am just looking for information.
Has anyone else noticed a delayed physical sickness after a confrontation like this? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has researched this specific type of pattern.
