That's what I thought. You'd expect an ancient Norse god who facilitated bloody wars in order to collect the souls of warriors for his anti-sun eating wolf campaign would be kind of freaky eldritch, but he actually seemed quite approachable and down-to-earth (no pun intended).
@@funneghost045 Everytime I read some posts like this video I secretly hope there's some guy who's making some telltale type of game with episodes consisting of these stories.
Guarantee this story is completely fake. He contradicts himself a few times, such as you'll see the guy maybe 8 times and then he fucks off for four months to bother other towers. In the next story, he says the guy knocks on the window all the time. Googling Fire Watch Towers of Alaska shows they do not look like he describes. Further, if you live on site you have a cabin and there is no wifi as wifi doesn't work like that. You have satellite internet. If you ever want to bust a liar, but cannot get them on the big details, look at the small details. That's where people always trip up. If they contradict themselves that's another sign of deception or in this case poor writing.
Regarding the "small child" that's more then likely a forest spirit. Gifting a dead bird is a good omen to say the least. It means that your presence in those woods has been accepted by the local guardians. Leaving out a bag of sweets will probably garner you some favor from the spirits, as it would be seen as mutual acknowledgement of each other.

Calling bullshit for 1 reason: Natl. parks don’t do fire watch up here during the winter. Parks are closed and pretty impossible to start wild fires in winter. Edited to add: also, the Inuit people as told in the first story have their ancestral land in the North Slope. For those not familiar with Alaska/Northern Canada, the North Slope/Inuit people are positioned above the Arctic Circle, where no trees grow, ergo, no forrest.
Strange thing about the cultist part is that for both practical and spiritual reasons wild animals are almost never used in ritual sacrifice. The Ainu sacrificed bears but even those were raised from a cub and tamed before being dispatched. Could have been a wolf-mutt or dog but dogs are similarly almost never sacrificed historically speaking -though the hittites had purification ritual that involved cutting a puppy in half. If there’s any truth to the story I honestly think they were amateurs that settled for a captured wolf or dog when they couldn’t find any lambs, goats, cows, etc…
~ Prayer to Shin'nai ~ Shin'nai-san's guardians are... One, snake, two, monkey, three, crow, four, spider. Five, prepare for the feast when the evening mists arrive. Six, the badger runs along late with nare as a fix. Seven, the corrupt yomibito rise to oppose the mountain. Eight, death of the damned yomibito is the mandate. Nine, one soul per day now to bind. Ten, the mists rise away again.
The part about the cultists reminds me of that story about the Alaskan Cult of Moloch. Now granted I figured that referenced the bull-headed god of the Canaanites whose worshippers would sacrifice their own children by "passing them through fire." But perhaps it is a whole separate deity. Just interesting to hear somebody else corroborate that. If cultists could operate anywhere undisturbed, the desolate wilderness of Alaska would be the place. Torngarsuk is another very important deity to the Inuit, a god of the sky who favors the form of a bear or a one-armed man. The shamans of the Northern Tribes claim him to be a benefactor of the invisible world on behalf of man. He's regarded as a protective deity. The last story of the bear-coated man with an eyepatch and a bird on his shoulder is a clear reference to Odin, but it does not surprise me Anon called him Santa, because Odin is the basis of the character of Santa Claus. One can find these references in everything we know about Jolly Old Saint Nick, i.e. Santa's eight little reindeer being representative of Sleipnir's (Odin's horse) eight legs, or Santa's elves being representative of Odin being the King of the Ljósálfar (Norse light elves) after Freyjr handed over said title to the Lord of the Aesír, etcetera, etcetera. Plus, Odin is well-known for taking the form of a wandering wayfarer who appears at the most unexpected of times. What a good thread.
I like to think the indo european pantheon is much more of a basic concept that the first humans to cross to the americas through alaska brought over. That would make this tómaka (or thull) basically a religious relative to odin but not exactly him

Uuxaul got any recommendations?
My man just PUMPS OUT THAT CONTENT
That's what she said
That last story sounds like he was visited by Odin
Exactly what i thought dudee, so weird
Yeah it does.
I first thought it was the Inuit bird God who transformed into a human form to not scare him while retaining some of his features (having a pet bird).
It was absolutely the Allfather
It kinda fits his MO as well.
The moment he said pet bird on his shoulder i got goosebumps dude talked to father Odin
OP got life advise from Odin.
