Something like ghost and cryptid hunters, mysterious forces in the woods, also handwritten threats with pressed or dried flowers, stained with a kiss of lipstick and sprayed with perfume or cologne, tied with a strip of ribbon, a blade of grass, or sealed with wax. Studying religious history and admiring it’s architecture, music and stories
