“It was years ago, somewhere in West Virginia. I was hiking through the woods off-trail and came across a big random field that was someone’s farm. I was about to go around when I noticed a bunch of people wearing what looked like cloth diapers and head wraps while burning a cross with a pig hanging from a chain. They were speaking in a language that I did not recognize. They saw me. We both had the deer-in-headlights look for what felt like forever. A few of them started to walk my way. I have never run back up a mountain in the dark so fast for so long.”
“I had no clue what they were doing, and I don’t think I could find that place again if I wanted to.”
