SOLVED: She asked her dad and he said it’s a weird garden decoration he had that got knocked over and rolled down a hill into the woods. I don’t know what would compel someone to buy something like this for people to look at but I’m not gonna judge.
This thing someone on Discord found in the woods. My current theory is that it’s a really old, disheveled wig due to the braid looking thing. The only other thing I know is that it doesn’t have a smell. I can ask her more questions about it if anyone would like.
If this doesn’t fit this page I apologize and would greatly appreciate being pointed to a better direction to find an answer.
Honestly looks a lot like someone stopped washing their braids, it grew into one solid encrusted shit-loc, and then they chopped it off.
Or it’s a wig from the fifth circle of hell.
Edit - like, I can’t definitively say that’s what it is, but when you’ve been around as many homeless crust punks as I have, you’ve seen a lot of dread horror stories.
That is something I don’t think I would pick up.
round these parts we call that a tumbleweave
It looks like they’re in the dark taking a picture with the phone “flash”. Any chance of getting pictures in better lighting and not holding it so there’s less blur?
Here’s a slightly improved picture:
Edit to add: also, at this point it looks like a “why the hell did you pick that up?” or an, “eww, you touched it!”
Here’s some other photos she took.
Kinda looks like someone put a bunch of different people’s hair on a post. Very gross whatever it is.
Well now I’m confused because it looks like there’s…a log (??) sticking out of the bottom of it?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned through a life of wandering the New England woods with metal heads and punks, it’s that there’s no accounting for the weird shit that some people think is cool. Thanks for following up, though!
Pretty sure that’s the Flood
Magic ritual
Wig turned inside out, and then some.
I agree it looks like a wig. But maybe we are seeing the “inside” that would be pinned into existing hair. Ask her if she can flip it over?
Could it be a hairball from a big cat?
some fool threw a polyester hat in the fire
Macro plastic
Cthulhu
Maybe trophies of some serial killer
It kind of looks like an overgrown hoof that’s decomposing.
