Never set foot into any water you can’t see the bottom of, and NEVER set foot into any body of water at night. They are awake then.
The red eyes glowing at you from the water are just alligators. The eyes you need to worry about don’t glow, and are from the creatures in the treetops.
Do not go into the forest at night if you can help it. If you have to, you may take comfort in that They might not notice you if you’re quiet enough.
If forced to go into the forest, ignore the distant lights and George Strait music. It might be humans, or it might not be. Even if it is humans, the forest changes people. Do not approach.
If you hear growling behind you, keep walking and pray that it’s just a panther. Do not turn around, that’s what They want.
People will tell you the screaming in the fields at night is the coyotes. Don’t question them.
If you see faces on the trees, ignore them. And their pleas for help.
Those cypress knees poking up from the ground are harmless. At least before sundown.
The footsteps in the woods are nothing to be worried about. And don’t worry about the strange noises. They are just curious. Stay by the fire and don’t speak too loudly.
Swamps are otherworldly places even in the daylight. Tread carefully, and DO NOT enter at night.
If you find the skeleton of a cow, it will be closer and closer to your camp every time you see it. You don’t need to leave until you can hear strange noises inside your camp. Do not open your tent when these noises are happening.
Do not stay up past 1AM in the woods. And do not wake up before 5. They watch you sleep.
The lights across the lake are inviting, but you must not go visit. Travelling across the lake at night is unadvised.
Do not ignore the feeling of dread you get when you’re swimming in water so deep you can’t see the bottom. Get onto a boat as soon as possible. Never venture under the water at night.
Keep your voice down if the lake is calm. They’ll hear you.
Pay attention to the alligators. Alligators are apex predators. If they disappear, you should have left already.
The ripples on the surface of the pond were caused by the wind. Even if no wind was present, you must convince yourself of that, and forget about the terrifying shapes just below the surface.
If you find yourself in the eye of a hurricane, do not open your doors. There are things outside that also want to get out of the storm. Ignore the sounds of sobbing, too. They aren’t human.
The Bermuda Triangle isn’t the only part of the ocean that makes boats disappear. Enter the ocean at your own risk.
Riptides are a normal occurrence. Don’t worry if it feels like human hands pulling on you. If you relax and let them pull you, you might escape their grip.
There are things living under the sand. If you pull on a piece of driftwood and it doesn’t come free, leave it alone.
