What is the line from Big Trouble in Little China? " I'm not saying i've been everywhere or done everything but I know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on and a man would have to be some kind of idiot to think we were alone in this universe." or something along those lines. I find much truth in these words. Mothman, shadow people, slender man, alien abduction, ghosts take your pick. We all need something to go bump in the night to give us something to fear; myths and legends take so many forms you never know what will hit a nerve with someone. You may find a story like the slender man absurd in the extreme but still cower at the thought of being carried away in a space ship as some kind of lab rat. We crave fear as a spice to life; look at horror films and ghost stories around the camp fire. Intellectually you know these things are not real and can not hurt you but deep in your soul is that little voice saying "What if I'm wrong?" That is why stories like this are so talked of and why this thread is still going strong.
SO TRUE.
