    I was just dreaming up the high concept as I lwas listening. Deer woman es fascinating, I heard a strange sound, camping in Kern's county, a group of women giggling in the woods, while my buddy and I stayed up late after the bonfire. Everyone had gone yo their tents by that point. Had to be 2... 3 AM maybe. One inaudible voice came closer from the "party" happening beyond the trees like 8 ft from where we're sitting. I think im imagining things, until my friend took the words right out of my mouth, "that laugh was--" "mischievous."

    Just wanted to point out, underworld does not equal evil in the north eastern tribal legends. Mishipeshu, is a horned serpent, has ties to the underworld, yet is a guardian of the great lakes. I also love the similarities between the many horned serpents/ thunderbirds, and the Garuda/ Nagas. My people have always had a broader spectrum of morality, very few things are straight up evil. Now cannibalism and abuse are. But of course this is in comparison to a more good/evil culture I have observed in people around me, even partly raised in.

    You know scientists have figured out the mysteries of the wendigo right It's no longer just a myth First off in all of the legends and myths about the Wendigo the key feature is they eat other humans because they're cannibals The biological negative effects of being a cannibal Start by contracting the human equivalent of mad cow disease shortly after this the adrenaline gland in your brain will swell up and go into OverDrive creating two to three times the normal amount of adrenaline that it's supposed to this in turn increases the cannibals metabolism As well as making them really strong because they're almost constantly amped up on adrenaline but with an increased metabolism they are also almost always hungry which leads them to going after their favorite food more and speeding up the transformation process As this process goes on the intelligence of the cannibal will continue to go down as in they become less cognitive and more animalistic even in the early stages they become more Hotheaded and aggressive as it goes on it becomes harder and harder for them to blend into society midway through the infection process the buildup of bacteria and parasites as a result of eating other humans Will cause mange the skin will turn a kind of pale grayish color all the hair on the cannibal's body will fall out also sunlight slightly irritates the skin Real life cannibals in captivity that were studied that had reached this point usually can barely talk speaking some form of broken language but they describe this irritation as itching Another thing that causes them to want to avoid the sun and other bright lights is a parasitic infection in the eyes making them horribly sensitive too bright sunlight and other bright lights again those who could still talk and be understood described the feeling as a stabbing pain in the eyes all of this occurs midway to the end of the transformation process if you're wondering what it looks like the best way I can describe it is they remind me of Gollum from Lord of the rings But less intelligent Other than having two to three times the strength of a normal man cannibals who have become full Wendigos Also have an increase in the sense of smell hearing and as their eyes adjust they get really good at seeing in the dark but ironically all of these attributes can be used against them you detonate one flash bang grenade Close to them and the loud noise and bright light overload there senses if it doesn't kill them instantly it will knock them out cold so I guess the legendary monster isn't as tough as we all thought well as long as you No their strengths and weaknesses It is also a very good thing that cannibalism is extremely rare in the world today

Native culture and folklore is pretty uncommon unless it's a stereotype like Indian Burial Grounds in horror which that trope makes no sense and I hate it.

    @Malia Midnight I'm part Algonquin and working on a family mystery you might be able to help with. My Grandma used to be deathly afraid of what she called Mendozits (no idea how to actually spell it) that were supposed to be some kind of fireball spirits that your ancestors would send after you if you were bad. Her mom was 1/2 Potawatomi and 1/2 Kickapoo. Some of her white husbands niblings would torment her that the Mendozits were chasing her whenever they were in the car with her when they were kids so she pretty much stopped talking about anything before my generation was born. My mom told me about them once, but I could never get anyone else to talk about them and can't find anything online. Have you heard of anything like them?

    This was really interesting - the deer woman reminds me of the Baobhan sith from Scottish folklore, a vampiric fairy with deer hooves. The behaviour of hiding partially behind the tree, luring men away and pretending to be human only to later reveal her true nature is also an integral part of the huldra/skogsrå legend from Scandinavia - strange that the exact same thing is found in folklore from the other side of the world!

I was reincarnated to be the cowboy out of the movie to say to the enemy shoot for the stars. The pheonix is a created being that has supernatural instincts which are a phenomenon to how it lives. For me I was born lord so iv been busy visiting people from the past life. The last air bender avatar is written about me and my brother.

I shouted, "I think that's a pegasus or a roc! (We played Dungeons and Dragons). My brothers looked and were freaked out. We had seen eagles, hawks, cranes, geese..... all of the large birds in the region, and this thing totally dwarfed them. I never forgot that and years later, I was watching a TV show that mentioned a string of incidents about a thunderbird in the area that happened right at that time. 1982-ish, Illinois.

    the thunderbird is one of my spirit helpers. although he may be scary looking he is a great spirit to have around. i was born in 1982 and i heard about the same incident around that time years later. and come to find out thunderbird is one of my spirit guides it is pretty interesting. as we have not heard about another sighting since. I have seen it's spirit form before thunderstorms and each time we have a good thunderstorm I'm cleansed of bad energy. also the egyptian god seth associates with weather too he is my patron deity. and under my birth sign both thunderbird and Set are under the sign. that is cool you might have seen thunderbird my dad said he saw one years ago too.

She often smells of death and is often elderly.

Senor Gerrera told us that nearby there was a Nahual reservation, they are kept in small numbers and aren't allowed to eat any meat. The natives feed them a decent vegetarian meal. Our minds were blown. Lol! Then he cautioned us not to walk around the house outside late at night. I don't know if he said that to scare us or educate us. Sadly, he passed away on June 2018. He still looked quite young to die suddenly.

    PNW Native here. I can partly explain the uktena or horned serpent, as we have a similar monster in our mythology called a snake deer. Recently we discovered that the snake deer might have been the ancestor of a toxic newt that currently resides in California. The original newt, the snake deer, was a large ambush predator that secreted neurotoxins capable of making animals and humans hallucinate and convulse. The snake deer would lay in wait in muddy, swampy areas, or ponds, and eat whatever got too close. Native Americans hunted them to extinction with ranged weapons such as arrows and spears, both to study their possible medicinal properties, and to prevent the snake deer from killing any more people as we expanded our villages, towns, cities, and hunting and foraging territories. We have a tribal library and archive with several stories about snake deer, and one of the many reasons why we concluded that this was a real animal and not a legend was because the stories about them almost exclusively revolved around the act of killing them. Consistently, the stories were hunting experiences recounted in detail, as if to teach others how this creature may be defeated. If not hunting triumphs, then the stories were about close calls, or someone being killed. A particularly gruesome story involved two brothers getting too close to the creature, and one of them falling into the mud around it. The elder brother pulled his younger brother from the mud, and they both looked at the monster nearby. It was believed that snake deer was so terrifying, certain people looking upon it would bend and convulse on the ground in fear. We now know these as either seizure symptoms or symptoms of hallucinogens/neurotoxins. The elder brother threw two spears at the snake deer, one of which broke, and the other pierced it enough to kill it. The younger brother had lasting damage from this encounter, such as trouble speaking and performing daily tasks, suggesting brain damage. The elder brother waited until the snake deer was dead and dissolved in the mud before that area was safe to hunt in. Horns and patterns on the snake deer vary from story to story, or are not even mentioned at all. However, branched horns like a stag for whatever reason meant the snake deer was less likely to attack. Maybe this was a difference in sex or life stage of the animal. Maybe there were subspecies or variants of the newt with different horns, and different temperaments. The legends from my tribe do not include any magical forehead crystals. This is the first I'm hearing about that! From a creature design standpoint, that sounds really cool, but I haven't heard that in our stories

    Hello Zehlua thank you for this fascinating information. I also live in the PNW (Oregon Coastal Range) I was wondering, if you are willing to relate, what is your tribe? I am hoping to correspond with a tribal member from the PNW who would be willing to discuss the Forest People with me, as they live on and around the land on which I also dwell. As we share a beautiful mountainside, I feel it incumbent upon me to understand how to co-exist with them, and to honor them as much as is possible. I do not have any Native blood but was honored to study with a Ho-Chunk Medicine Woman in my early 20s. She declared me an honorary Human Being. I practice what she taught me every day.

(I have read info that some come from another planet through portals and are more compassionate, actual healers, and do not eat meat. Then there are others who evolved on this planet who are meat eaters, and very aggressive. I read they eat their prey alive when possible.) Does your tribe have another name for these beings? I have clearly been told by them that they do not like the term "Bigfoot" and prefer the use of local native names. As for "A-ho" I was taught it means something kin to "Amen" it can also be used to mean "thank you", "Yes", &/or "I agree".

    Thank you for this information. I sense that the Stick Indians are here in this area. I think one (or more) was/were watching my husband and me when we were doing a ceremony at our medicine wheel this past Spring Solstice. I felt something watching and turned towards to West, then a random stick fell out of a tree, punching itself into the ground so that it stood upright. There was no wind to cause it to fall, let along puncture the ground. I knew it was "something else" but was not sure what. (I felt very definitely that I should not go over to it, and so I left it alone. It is still there - I can see it right now.) It could have been a BF Forest Person knocking a small branch loose, since they hardly ever show themselves. Or a squirrel even LOL. Ok, so no "portals" in your histories. Good to know, for sure. If you are willing to clarify, in your Tribe's traditions, are these beings meat eaters? I am trying to sort out conflicting info from different sources.

    It’s so interesting to me that throughout history there have often been myths and legends that share similarities and purposes across many cultures.

    @@spardaprowess3277 you found the one who dated a guy for nearly 7 years and discovered he had married someone else at the 5 year mark and he never bothered to divulge that information. So yes. I relate to the deer lady trampling cheating mean to death because cheating on your partner is an abhorrent thing to do, is unforgivable, and legitimately fucks up the one who was cheated on. So get out of here with your BS

    @@AquilaCat ALL cheaters deserve loneliness and misery but not death that is excessive and unnecessary. Your happiness at the thought of any people being brutalized and killed is pure evil. You celebration of males victims specifically proves you hate males. And it is not BS because feminists have proven over the past 100 years with their words and actions that male suffering is their only goal. Reevaluate your fragile morality then talk about others being unpleasant.

    Swamps are dangerous, they're full of "quicksand", gators and venomous snakes. The light's you're thinking of are commonly called Will-o-wisps which are just burning swamp gas that ignites under specific atmospheric conditions. These balls of fire can look like lanterns off in the distance. The curious will go to investigate these lights and find themselves falling prey to one of the many dangerous of the swamp. These "legends" exist in every state in the U.S. that has bogs, swamps and marshes. They also exist in the U.K., and other parts of the world. They are called Will-o-wisps, Will-o-the-wisps, ignis fatuus, jack-o'-lantern, friar's lantern, hinkypunk and hobby lantern just to name a few. Famous examples include Texas's Marfa Lights, Oklahoma's Joplin Spook light, St. Louis Light in Saskatchewan, Naga fireballs on the Mekong in Thailand, the Paulding Light in Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Hessdalen light in Norway.

    The uktena and thunderbird tale is a bit similar to Indian mythology. Here we have the Nagas and Nagaloka (underworld) they ruled. The Nagas on top of the hierarchy adorn pearls on forehead. Similarly, we have their arch enemy Garund pakshi( also called Garuda in South East asia) who defend nature from the Nagas if they try to cause havoc in surface.
