Sorry but the Bible is a book written by MAN thousands of years after the supposed facts, that clearly became twisted & convoluted - much like what happened when you played a game of 'telephone' as a kid. It's also amazing to me how nobody in the Bible (or that time period in general), people seemed to not have any mental illness like schizophrenia and the like, and every mystical creature (including the Devil himself) is considered to be real all of these thousands of years later. MOST scary things like demons & such are figments of the Church's imagination created to frighten people into submission.... and to become solely (or should I say soul-ly) dependent upon them for protection against such made up evils, as well as saving their souls. I won't even touch upon everything else that contradicts itself & just doesn't make any common or logical sense - yet sooo many people in today's world (full of so much knowledge, scientific & medical discoveries since) seemingly believe everything word for word - and I won't mention those who take it literally.
While I have my own beliefs (incl there may be something bigger than all of us at play), I've had religion shoved down my throat my entire life. I personally believe that 'organized religion' is dangerous - as history throughout the CENTURIES proves time and time again. People should be allowed to believe whatever they want, but really should keep it to themselves &.stop imposing their beliefs upon everyone else (esp agai st their will)
As for these things in the woods... I do believe they are an actual being -.not demons or whatever ridiculousness is mentioned above. I also believe they are some unknown twisted branch in the primate/ homo-erectus tree far down the line - as there is proof of a similar type of extinct mammal tens of thousands of years ago, as well as various other types of pre-humans even before Neanderthals, Denisovens, etc. Why couldn't there be another somewhere along the line, that lived alongside our longtime ancestors & decided they wanted nothing to do with them (or us) - with our oh so many violent tendencies to destroy everything around us. Who knows... maybe they could even be related to the so-called 'missing link', if ya really give it some thought. Again, who knows....
