You are also in the prime habitat for the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. Treat them with all due respect should you find one. They are quite the endangered species.😀

I think there is some overlap between mythology and conspiracy theory in that both seek to explain the unexplained, but myths seem to be more about entertainment than fear. That said, a lot of fairy tales are a lot scarier than Disney versions might suggest.

I like stories about cryptids and hollow earth, but put little stock in them. I find myself irritated by flat earth proponents though, because they take their ideas way too seriously, and outright ignore or mock any evidence or counterarguments brought against their assettions instead of showing any intellectual rigor.
