Titans and Dead Alligators

When I was little I used to secretly believe that the hills around my home (in California) were actually giants that had fallen asleep thousands of years ago, and had slowly been covered with dirt and trees before normal-sized humans had settled the area. I never told anyone this believe because I knew they'd think it was silly, but I figured when the giants awoke, I'd be prepared to befriend them and save humanity!

I also believed that if I saw a cloud in the shape of any given animal, one of that kind of animal had died that day. For some reason cloud shapes always looked like alligators to me, and I worried about their population numbers.

Clearly I had an active imagination.
