Hi guys,
A lot of people here seem to think that the woodsmen are the Dugpas.
Can those who do explain to me why you think so, please? I thought Dugpas were Tibetans.
Well, this is clearly the jumping off point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3lDx8vsVDQ
And Dugpa means "red hat" I guess, and they had hats...
They are pulling on Tibetan terminology, to be sure. Prior to this, I had always thought the term might apply to any/all of the lodge beings: Bob, Mike, the Tremonds, etc. So, I don't know if we have sufficient evidence to pin it directly/solely to the Woodsmen, but I do think maybe that works.

That clip said sorcerers. Those woodsmen are spirits, they can become solid and can evaporate, and can descend from the air. They don't seem as lucid as human beings ("Gotta light? Gotta light? Gotta light?"), and sorcerers are lucid if you argue they might be able to fly or phase too.

From link above :
Dugpas (Tib.). Lit., “Red Caps,” a sect in Tibet. Before the advent of Tsong-ka-pa in the fourteenth century, the Tibetans, whose Buddhism had deteriorated and been dreadfully adulterated with the tenets of the old Bhon religion,—were all Dugpas. From that century, however, and after the rigid laws imposed upon the Gelukpas (yellow caps) and the general reform and purification of Buddhism (or Lamaism)....
So Dugpa is tibetan for Red Cap, as opposed to Gelukpa, tibetan for Yellow Cap. The Gelukpas are the Lamas we all know, they wear those yellow caps.
When you hear "sorcerers" here, don't think of Aleister Crowley. I think these Dugpas are/were a sect of tibetan monks. Monks, through high level meditation, can gain psychic powers. They are one step away from misusing them and turn to the dark arts.
There have been accounts of Tibetan monks mating with virgins to gain spiritual powers. There was a Thai monk who roasted stillborn baby to create a dark object of worship.
Windom's description is not accurate to the real dugpas of history. This is a fictional story, so the writing is creative.
Lynch was chums with the late founder of Transcendental Meditation. He knows his eastern spiritualism.
So I don't think he would use the tibetan term Dugpa, but reappropriate it as a group of evil charred lumberjacks.
In the video above, Windom Earle says they 'cultivate evil' and that it increases exponentially.
Hmmm... what if they're actually growing or farming BOBs etc? They 'birthed' one from MrC, but that could have been produced by a replication of the one already there - triggered by getting shot (a burst of evil/hatred)
Maybe there's a *whatever the collective noun is* of BOBs...!

Oh great! ?
So a Bob possesses a human as a spirit, but this spirit can impregnate the host also.
When DoppelDale was shot, the hobos all came to save the baby Bob, which had the physical form of a slimy sac.
That explains why DoppelDale woke up and still looked like he had Bob in him. He never lost Bob the father. The hobos only took out Bob the baby.

Hey, we gotta think like Alien franchise now, the show's turning that direction. ?
- and if it works in the same way as a nuclear reaction - there could be a lot of BOBs - and a whole heap of bad vibes getting passed around!

Well, but Laura is the same type orb as Bob. That means she can mass-impregnate also to counter the Bobs!! ?
Part 18 will be a battlefield of Bobs against Lauras!!! ?
