  1. Avenging Spirits
    The male poop-etrator’s golf game must have died violently on that course. (By the way, congrats to Aussie Jason Day!)

    In the government building where I used to work, some (disgruntled?) dude kept smearing feces on the bathroom mirror, which of course made the janitor highly upset. The administration decided to install a hidden camera in the bathroom, which was discovered by one of the employees. That made EVERYBODY upset! The poop-etrator was never discovered.

  2. Suicide spirit
    Combined with their traditions, harsh conditions of the reservation, and the internet, we have a serious problem here. Throughout the whole article I could not stop thinking of the Suicide Forest of Japan. Although a different culture there are a some similarities between how important their traditons are and “the culture of the internet” which blend here. I also found myself reminded of the Windego, a creature who shape shifts into the form of a person you know to lure you into a gruesome end. Then eats you. I can’t help but argue that the Slenderman is becoming an internet Windego of sorts.

    Great write up RPJ

    1. Wendigo and Suicide Forests
      Thanks, though I know I just scratched the surface of the issue. For instance, I should have mentioned both the Suicide Forest and the Wendigo! Perhaps you’d like to leave a comment on the article’s page for the benefit of MU fans? 🙂

  3. Creepy animals
    Your fauna works great to keep arachnophobes out. I don’t think I need to say much more than that. Haven’t been to Oz and now i won’t get there either in a billion years.

    1. Billion years
      I have a lot of wonderful friends on that underbelly of the world*, so I might have to make an effort one day –and bring LOTS of Raid.

      (*) Though they could easily say they same about MY neck of the woods 😛

  4. Pooper
    This has been going on for 10 years!!! My god I’ve just heard of this now and I’ve figured out ways to set up cameras hidden as rocks or in trees to catch the guy. Norwegians must not give a fuck! FOR 10 FUCKING YEARS PEOPLE!!!
