Don't you guys have traditional stories to explain that?
Here the saying goes that if you feel like that it's a pack of dead souls lead by a possessed living human. That human is unaware that every night he is leading the dead souls and returns to his home at daybreak not remembering what he did during the night. He just wakes up very tired. The only way he can get away from that curse is if he finds another human in his path at night and passes him the cross that he is holding. If that happens he is liberated and the other dumbfuck will unknowingly lead the procession until he finds another guy to pass the cross on.
We were all told that story here, the only way to protect yourself is draw a circle on the floor and get inside. I bet everyone I know has drawn a circle in the woods at some point.
