I think not everything has a logical answer. I think that not everything needs to be explained - it just is. And we come to accept that.

This sounds like a cryptid.....might even be a shape shifter.....from what I've heard, it's best not to mess with them. I've also heard that "Dogmen" or àka werewolves actually hunt the cryptids in the deep woods. I've heard many strange things....up to and including that there have been a few instances where some people have formed friendships with Dogmen. Whatever this thing is....it has a definite interest in that cabin....and in being seen...and known....

I adore this story. And I love the food videos too. He is a fantastic character. I just wish you could be honest about him being a fictional creation. The minor biographical details resound like tiny lies, and undermine the charm a little bit.

I would suspect that hill was a NATIVE AMERICAN burial mound...or just a home of some who escaped the TRAIL OF TEARS...?
