It's traditionally belief of my kin that our ancestors watch over us, and steer us away from danger and other forms of harm, and guide us toward happiness, whether that be making a different turn, seeing something interesting, whatever. "There's always a hand in ours, pulling us along" was a saying I'd heard from my great grandfather. Me personally, I don't believe in the majority of spook stories, or even really any conventional religion, but I do believe that there is an impossible amount of things that I have no way of knowing whether they exist or not. Some places you can't help but tell something is not ordinary though.
On my great grandfather's property(he passed three years ago), way back in the woods, there is a spring coming off a rock cliff, and on this spring there is a chair that was carved out of the rock, and used to, the water coming out of the rock wall was stronger, and would wash over anyone who sat there. It was the only natural spring for miles, and the local native tribe gathered all their water there. Standing at that spring, sitting on that stone throne, you can feel that something isn't ordinary, it's almost like you're feeling a million feelings all at once. I often go and bottle water from that spring, and that's all I drink when taking a hiking trip, and surprisingly it makes me feel better, and more refreshed than any sports drink ever has. I'll upload a picture here in a minute.
