You've got to be joking. How is it that you people have not deleted this yet? I spent a lot of time creating an entry that got deleted simply because the deleters didn't have knowledge or expertise in that area. Didn't matter how much proof I gave either. You guys have a pretty piss poor system for filtering the crap out I have to say.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.90.196 (talk • contribs) 00:49, September 29, 2009

Maybe you should contact someone regarding this problem instead of talking nonsense on some other page dealing with folklore (a topic you don't seem to have a lot of knowledge or expertise in)? Just a suggestion. --84.149.27.9 (talk) 02:33, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not that well developed and needs to be expanded in more detail. For starters this page should be split into different sections to differentiate each piece of information. Also there should be a section that talks about the history of the Hidebehind namely from the tales that first talked about it to the first literary mentions of it. Also there should be a section that details the analysis done by experts in literature and folklore that talk of its significance. All of these things need to be accomplished in order to completely cover this article's subject.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:51, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reading this, I am reminded of the monster known as a creaking in Minecraft. It approaches you to attack only when you aren't looking at it, and it stands perfectly still (looking sort of like a small tree) if it's in your field of view. Unfortunately, the only connection I've found is this short YouTube video, comparing the creaking to the hide-behind in Gravity Falls (which is mentioned in this article). ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
