Full moon Mondays: Forest Freak Fest

This morning I went for a walk in some woods that is owned by the county parks. I go in there occasionally to look for turkey carcasses(to make wing bone calls)and turtle shells.
There were several "sculptures" made out of twigs and saplings, and also rocks stacked on top of each other in interesting newtonian ways(some of them had turkey feathers sticking out of them). It was real "blair witch" like, and these creations were all over the woods.
There was also a lot of beer bottles, and I figured it must have been a bunch of kids doing goofy things in the woods.
I heard this interesting animal "howling" and it sounded to me like a peacock. There is a farm next to the wood lot(where the howl was coming from) so I decided to drive up there to see if this farmer had peacocks.
Then I saw it. There was a bunch of signs hung on the trees in a section of the woods on the road.
FULL MOON MONDAY
COME PRAY FOR PEACE.
CHANTING,
SINGING,
BANG DRUMS FOR PEACE
8-10pm EVERY FULL MOON MONDAY!
There was about a half dozen chairs sitting inside a circle of clam shells, and there were several of the sculptures that I saw in the woods.
I am going on Monday night. I am going to get my sandals out, go buy some incense at the local head shop, maybe get a tie die shirt, and I have this wooden flute a student gave me from his trip to Africa.
Im gonna chant, and bang the drums, and blow my flute, and sing to the moon, all in the name of world peace. A real love fest.
I am also going to bring a Habachi, and a few venison steaks to enjoy with the beautiful people.
And I am going to tell those pigs to clean the mess they left in the woods.

    Salzo,
    Watch yourself. We had this stuff here and it's a cult. A bunch of characters from out of town were hosting a satanic ceremony in the forest near here some years back. I still walk the same road but I carry an equalizer. They call it wica, moon worship, you name it. It's
    still dealing with the devil by any name. All they left in the woods here were mutilated dead dogs and candle wax of various colors around a fire pit. They found one fruit cake dressed in women's clothes driving down the road too. Maybe he was part of that full moon you mentioned.

    There is a place like that over in the next county. Not real sure what all goes on there, but the people sure like their privacy, and will insist on it with surveillance cameras and firearms.

    No, it is a place the local kids call "Devil's Gate," and it is in Fannin County. I have seen some video shot there several years ago by a trespassing pastor, who claims the place is for the worship of Satan and the sacrifice of unwitting humans. I think the pastor saw a few strange artifacts and blew it all out of proportion.

    From what I saw, it looks like a collection of outdoor art, done by a number of different artists. Bad art, but art nonetheless.

    One object I remember from the video was a grave. An actual grave dug in the ground. At the bottom of the grave, was what appeared to be a plaster sculpture of a human. The grave was closed only with a sheet of Plexiglass, so you could see the sculpture in it. The pastor swore up and down it was a human child, but it was obviously made of plaster.

    Another object that the pastor thought was very evil was an outhouse. It was entirely of glass bottles, mortared together like bricks. The necks of the bottles were turned outward and exposed. The outhouse, from above, was configured like a coil, so it could offer privacy without a door. What the pastor thought was so spooky about it was that the bottle necks pointed to all directions, so that no matter which way the wind blew, it blew across the bottle necks and made the bottles whistle. The pastor thought it was "eerie." I thought it was cool, and determined to build one for myself one day.

    I figure the pastor probably turned his findings over to local law enforcement, but I never heard anything from it. Probably a bunch of harmless kooks.

    Kids around here dare one another to go out there. Apparently, they have become enough of a nuisance that the owners have put in cameras, and have someone out there to wave guns and fire warning shots at trespassers. I say warning shots, because none of the kids or their vehicles has been hit yet.

    I would like to see the place in person, but I am not willing to trespass to do it.
