It always bugs me when "scientists" sit in an air conditioned office and say that people seeing things in the woods are mistaking the natural wildlife in the area for something else. Really? You know better, sitting there in your comfy office, than someone who lives, works and survives in these remote areas? I think that is the most arrogant attitude in the world.
Someone sees something strange and is unsettled, because it doesn't match anything they know to be in the woods... the woods they have lived, worked, played and hunted in for generations. They report it, hoping to find out what's going on. Someone in said air conditioned office gets ahold of it. He/She leans back in their comfy over-stuffed chair and says , "Oh no, these poor pitiful stupid people just THINK they saw something strange. No, no, no, what they REALLY saw was THIS... trust me, I have an expensive degree..."
Rant over.
