    @haltocarrick55044 years ago I have a story, but it wasn't me who saw anything, but about the people I scared
    I once went hunting with a mate, and we decided to wear some ghillie suits we had bought for airsoft
    So everything is chill, we find a good position, and wait
    By around PM, a group of hikers appear on the trail next to our position
    We would simply wait for them to pass without noticing us, but that's when things go bad
    All of sudden, a fucking wasp stings me in the butt, and I take off towards the trail. I had bad experiences with wasps and bees when I was a kid, so whenever I get stung by one, I get out of the place just in case more come towards me
    So now the poor hikers are being chased by a screaming bush with a gun
    You might be wondering how the wasp stung me through the ghillie
    Well, it just happens that on the way to the position, I got entangled in a tree branch
    When I pulled the ghillie from the bush, it tore apart, and now only my pants were protecting a 5cm hole in my bum
    I still feel bad for the hikers
    So if anyone tell you a story about being chased by a tree with a rifle on his hand, please, tell them I'm really sorry.

    @justsomejerseydevilwithint46063 years ago No, see, the scary thign about tigers is that you most definitely would NOT hear the rustling.
    A full size bengal tiger can completely sneak up on a human in woods where human feet make loud crunching noises on the leaves and sticks unavoidably, and yet a full-grown bengal tiger can still sneak up on someone silently. In a loud buggy jungle? If it were a tiger, you would NOT hear the rustling. ..

    @pastelmask3 years ago A couple of incidents. The first one happened quite a few years ago, my dad, brother, and i were all walking around near the site of an old mine-shaft, the second incident happened very recently, and still freaks me out. This happened a couple of weeks ago while we were taking a drive up to an area that was very much unpopulated. Save for the scattered car and logging truck, next to no traffic or people, and heavily wooded. Now, i probably have an overactive imagination (forensic files anddo not go well together) and so i' m often subconsciously looking for anything suspicious, no matter where i am. Out of nowhere, i see what i' m 99. 9% sure are a pile of human bones, so i told my dad to stop the car so i could get out and look, fearing that someone may have dumped a body here some time ago to conceal a crime. My dad stops the car, i quickly exit from my side, and briskly walk over to where i saw the bones. When i got there, however, there was nothing but a few pieces of garbage scattered in other parts of the area, but nothing where the bones should' ve been. We stayed there for a good 2-3 minutes, because i was adamant that i had seen human bones, but found nothing.
    i don' t really know what to make of it

    @Delicious_J4 years ago This reminds me of something not scary, but unusual and interesting that happened to me and my mate a few years ago.
    we were biking on one of the then i went back down the mound of earth at the side of the bridge for a piss, i looked up to the bridge to check if anyone could see me, and i saw something that i thought was a big dog off its lead. It was distorted because of the old fashioned wooden fencing on the side of the bridge)
    i yelled back up to my mate " what the fucks that on the bridge? "
    he looks and says " its a deer! "
    i finished pissing, went back up onto the bridge, and theres was a buck there, right in the middle of the bridge staring at me, and not my mate. I got nervous because i thought it was going to ram me or something. After two minutes of staring at me the bugger just walked back to the side of the bridge it had come from.
    i know it' s nothing to speak of for americans or canadians, but that was weird because for one, this isn' t a secluded area, and deer rare in england anyway, let alone on a well used bridge. Turns out they kept deer on the premises, which i didn' t know about despite walking through this area hundreds of times since i was a young child.
    if anyone here knows about deer behaviour, could you suggest why it was staring directly at me? It didn' t seem aggressive or even spooked, it just stood there in the middle of the bridge

    @t3hr00tb33r3 years ago Scouting camp-out. They tell you not to bring foodinto the tents because you might have visitors. Very important if you are in country. I was the smart & good kid: i did nothave food in my backpack but i didhave a poor choice in a tent buddy who can' t follow directions. Because he thinks a cheeky little shit. Even after i asked him, he answered in the negative; he did not have any food or snacks. Spoiler alert: turns out that was a lie.
    so here i am being woke up at 3am with a black bear' s head within arm' s reach of me rummaging through my tent buddy' s backpack, looking for his half-eaten bag of chips. Now i know i needed to stay still, calm, quiet and it will go away. But i' m not out of the woods yet. Pun intended. This can go one of three ways. #1. He' s also awake and is doing the same thing, #2. He isn' t awake and will sleep through it, or option #3. The bear could wake him up, he does his little girl scream, which will startle said bear, and the beast mauls us both to death. Thank god it was option #1.
    needless to say i got a new tent buddy - and him getting a serious ass-reaming for being a moron

  • @
    @justsomejerseydevilwithint46063 years ago There are certain spirits thay are grieving, or reclusive, or just want to be left alone, or dead and have sensitive resting places, and the strongest of them can affect reality. The birds and bugs can feel it before you can, and when you blunder in there unknowingly, the spirit is aware, and upset, setting the breeze heavily still, and hushing all the wildlife. And when you continued closer to that unseen barrier.
    Spirits like that can mess you up A LOT. Be thankful it left you with your sanity.

    @menninkainen47413 years ago I' m not park ranger or yeah and this wasnt really in the forest.
    i remember this odd situtation when told story about walking dog in the woods. anyway, i walked my familys' dog on the side road which was next to bigger road though there were tress etc. Between and other side was field.
    i walked taiga (the dog) alone on that road and suddenly taiga started to be really scared of something and didnt wanna go forward. Taiga acted really weird. I have never seen her so scared and barking scaredly at something, likr never! There wasnt any reason too and wimphering. I tried to see if there were something but couldnt see anything odd so i kept walking a bit. There were though weird red mailbox next to the road. But. It wasnt there before and it didnt lead any house. There might have been a little rundown road but it was for maintance thing for lights.
    anyway. I kept walking forward a bit but taiga still was scared and barking at something while backing up. I started to felt uneasy too, not just taiga' s weird behaviour but something didnt feel right. I decided to turn around and walk back home. Taiga still was watching back there where we were and barking, she might growled too. I never saw anything.
    this was really weird to me cause taiga have never acted like that and she is usually happy going husky and mailbox was really weird, never have seen it before and i kinda felt like someome was watching. I dont remember it very well cause it was sum years ago but i havent seen taiga act like that ever since.
    it migght have been a bear or something that i couldnt seen. My mom had talked about bear walking around or moose there. But good that taiga was with me. I wouldnt have probably realized. But it was really scary to me amd taiga
