Why these connect

Nothing in these files requires the forest itself to be supernatural. What connects them is the witness losing trust in ordinary navigation while something nearby seems perfectly oriented.

This is an editorial path, not a claim that the reports share one cause. Open each file and decide which similarities matter.
