Dark Gathering in the Woods

Horto Florestal de Avaré
06/2005

I was with my cousin and two friends in the Avaré forest garden (Horto Florestal de Avaré), just after midnight, where we used to go after the athletic association dance to drink and talk, when we passed by a road that was next to the forest and we saw a crowd of hundreds of people dressed in a dark costume with a hood, which was very unusual for a city in the interior of Brazil in the 90s. Those people were in a giant circle in the middle of the forest looking at something with an intense glow in the middle and were all between trees and a forest trail that It was visible from the road we passed by. We were perplexed and accelerated the car, but about 200 meters later, we decided to return to find out what was happening. It hadn't even been 2 minutes, but when we came back, everyone had completely disappeared. This was impossible to happen, as there were no places they could hide and no time for those hundreds of people to leave. I've been back at that place a few times to assess what could have happened, but to this day I can't come up with a logical explanation.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
