Where and when to view the Superstition Mountains cougar shadow
If you want to see this phenomenon in person, head to the vicinity of Superstition Blvd and Goldfield Road in Apache Junction for a relatively unobstructed view.
Timing is critical. The cougar only appears during the third week of March and September.
The last 30 minutes before official sunset is prime time for viewing.

Superstitionia donensis. With scorpions this small, it's easiest to move them on a big spoon.

the infamous Appalachian 'hey'
Out in the woods of the Appalachian mountains, there's a caution of advice that goes:
"If you hear anything while out in the woods - no, you didn't.

I would take a raven over a haint any day. That doesn't necessarily mean, if I couldn't spot a bird, I'd answer.

I met Skunkpig while hiking through the Superstition mountains. Racing the sun to the trailhead before dusk, I heard what I thought was drums and chanting on the wind. I stopped to listen. I'm pretty sure they were going to eat me, but I had water and a field recorder I told them I was interesting using to record their songs.
Whether Skunkpig is the name of their leader or the entire tribe, it's never clear. They all refer to themselves as Skunkpig, but the leader I suspect to be Skunkpig is the only one who ever uses "I," and the lesser tribesmen orbit the great creature like asteroid rings. How many are there? Enough it seems.
Skunkpig eat whatever they can find, but primarily hunt lost hikers. They often toy with people shooting old refrigerators and couches out in the desert. Quietly removing vital car parts, then watching them from afar as they wonder what to shoot to save themselves as the heat does its grim work. They make jewelry, tools, and knives from the guns. They say they have no use for them. They let the sun bring their prey to a useless weakened stupor and pluck whatever they clutch from their tired hands, stepping back before the prey's last gasp so their dry, red-eyes can see their hunter stand before it "stains the sand." People the tribe find shooting cactus are made to drink the acidic water of the barrel cactus until their organs revolt. They have no gods, but they hold sacred the Gila monster for its unyielding bite, the roadrunner for its brazen brutality, the cactus for its efficiency and its fruit, and the night. They respect the sun.
This is the first recording I made of Skunkpig, doing the hunt song "Gila Monster Blood" I've promised to record more of them in exchange for safe passage in their lands.

Superstitions
What superstitions I think the ghouls believe in
Phantom
steps on a crack and break your mama's back
holds his breath when driving through a tunnel
bad luck comes in 3s
Mountain
four leaf clovers being lucky
knock on wood as to avoid jinxes
rabbit’s foot brings good luck
Rain
if you make a funny face, it'll stay that way
opening an umbrella in doors being bad luck
tosses a pinch of salt over his shoulder
Dewdrop
turns off the light and immediately jumps in bed so the monster under the bed won't get him
punches the closest ghoul and says punch buggy [insert color] no punch back whenever he spots a VW bug
black cats crossing his path
Cumulus
if you eat a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow in your stomach
making a wish at 11:11
not sleeping w/ her head facing north
Aurora
they love me, they love me not
only picks up pennies off the ground if they're face up
chewing gum at night
