Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, São Miguel do Iguaçu, State of Paraná, Brazil
06/2008

Na noite de 20/06/2008 estava em uma saída de campo para pesquisa, pois sou biólogo , neste dia estávamos fazendo verificação de algumas armadilha colocadas ao longo de uma série de posições marcadas por gps, quando em um determinado local que se localizava as margens de uma grande área de preservação conhecida como Parque Nacional do Iguaçu e uma enorme plantação de milho já em sua fase adulta, medindo pouco mais de 2m de altura , caminhávamos por ali pois oferecia menor resistência por ser uma área de vegetação mais rala ,isso era por volta de 3;25 da manha quando escutamos ao longe barulho de algo muito grande ou volumoso se aproximando em nossa direção por entre a plantação, o barulho se tornava cada vez mais alto indicando que estava cada vez mais próximo, no momento a princípio ficamos paralisados aguardando o que emergiria dali, mas em seguida tivemos um momento de clareza e resolvemos correr em direção oposta e se esconder, e após alguns segundos tudo parou e voltou a normalidade exceto pelo fato de que havia um silencio total , quem já esteve em uma floresta a noite sabe que não há silêncio por conta do inúmeros animais vocalizando a todo tempo, mas neste momento tudo parecia estar quieto , devido a estranheza da situação resolvemos não seguir com a verificação e voltamos para o acampamento base que ficava a cerca de 3,5 km dali, porem ao amanhecer estávamos discutindo a respeito do que poderia ter sido aquilo e ponderando voltar lá para ver se havia algo que pudesse explicara tal evento, e sim foi o que fizemos com base na posição em que estávamos , foi relativamente fácil localizar a posição pelo gps, ao chegar lá nos embrenhamos no milharal a procura de qualquer coisa estranha, e certa de 25 a 30 metros de onde estávamos , havia uma clareira aberta no milharal onde tudo estava com aparência de pisoteado ou amassado que se conectava a uma trilha no milharal, como se algo tivesse passado por ali e derrubado tudo , medindo cerca de 3metros de largura, seguimos aquilo para ver onde ia dar, e pra nossa surpresa em 500 metro aproximadamente havia outra clareira semelhante a que encontramos, e nada mais nenhuma trilha a partir disso, então o que quer que seja que aconteceu ali não me parece muito normal , pois e primeira coisa que me veio a mente foi um grupo de porcos selvagens, mas de onde vieram eles, costumam deixar rastros bem fáceis de se reconhecer, e la nada indicava que algum deles esteve por ali e não havia sinais de espigas comidas ou alimentação no local, devido a estranheza dos fatos resolvi compartilhar essa experiência, e ate hoje sigo sem saber de fato o que experienciei naquela noite . Translation: On the night of 20/06/2008 I was on a field trip for research, as I am a biologist, on that day we were checking some traps placed along a series of positions marked by GPS, when in a certain place where the margins of a large preservation area known as Iguaçu National Park and a huge corn plantation already in its adult phase, measuring just over 2m in height, we walked there as it offered less resistance due to it being an area with thinner vegetation, this It was around 3:25 in the morning when we heard the noise of something very large or bulky in the distance approaching us through the plantation, the noise became louder and louder indicating that it was getting closer and closer, at the time at first We were paralyzed, waiting for what would emerge from there, but then we had a moment of clarity and decided to run in the opposite direction and hide, and after a few seconds everything stopped and returned to normal except for the fact that there was total silence, whoever has been in a forest at night knows that there is no silence due to the countless animals vocalizing all the time, but at this moment everything seemed to be quiet, due to the strangeness of the situation we decided not to continue with the verification and returned to the base camp which was about 3 .5 km away, however at dawn we were discussing what that could have been and considering going back there to see if there was anything that could explain such an event, and yes that's what we did based on the position we were in, it was relatively easy Locating the position using the GPS, when we got there we went into the cornfield looking for anything strange, and about 25 to 30 meters from where we were, there was an open clearing in the cornfield where everything looked trampled or crushed that connected to a trail in the cornfield, as if something had passed through there and knocked everything down, measuring about 3 meters wide, we followed it to see where it led, and to our surprise in approximately 500 meters there was another clearing similar to the one we found, and nothing else there is no trail from there, so whatever happened there doesn't seem very normal to me, because the first thing that came to mind was a group of wild pigs, but wherever they came from, they tend to leave traces that are very easy to find. recognize, and there was nothing to indicate that any of them were there and there were no signs of eaten cobs or food in the place, due to the strangeness of the facts I decided to share this experience, and to this day I still don't really know what I experienced that night.

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?
