Creepiest moments of camping?

^ The mind is the best Horror film maker. Its amazing that what we can't see scares use the most.
Not making light of what happened Bob, but 95 % of stuff that happens like this when camping out doors is nothing at all. Cool

Its happened to many campers/hikers im sure. I can recall acouple of times in the day when im hiking,.... ive stopped and resting on a log/rock and something behind me is rustleing and moveing my way Shocked

.... and a bird { Robin } was on the ground looking for worms etc, to eat. Laughing

I almost forgot about this story: Shocked

Me and my sister were walking out a ridge on our property, just getting some fresh air. Suddenly she stopped and said, "Listen!" We stood there for a couple minutes, but I never heard a thing. Then all of a sudden there was this really strange noise. I've never heard it before then or since. It sounded like somebody banging on a sheet of metal, Bang! Bang! Bang! My sister said it reminded her of somebody sweeping.(not sure about that Rolling Eyes

) Anyway, about half a second later, we hear lots of feet running up the side of the hill. We both exchanged glances and decided at the same time we should run back. The first thing that crossed my mind was wild hogs. Not something you want to run across in the woods. Shocked

We ran back the way we came(I know this area well, and walk it all the time), and stopped about 75 yards later and caught our breath. We never saw anything, but I'm glad we went back. It nearly scared the pee out of me.

My only guess as to what is was is somebody was bow hunting, and they shot a wild hog and it decided to run up our hill with its buddies.

I can still hear that sound in my head today, but I still don't know exactly what it was. Surprised

Haha, you're absolutely right. I envisioned everything, from bears to vengeful ghosts of the forest, lol. Even though it is mostly nothing to worry about, I still feel the need to get out and get a pistol. All, but one of my backpacking trips have been alone, and a firearm would definitely make me feel a lot safer. Especially in the secluded areas.

when i wa about 15 or so we were camping somewhere outside of hope b.c.made friends with oue new neighbours one night had some drinks with them adn such ,went to bed when i woke up i found out that during the night the guy got into a fight with his girlfriend and went after her with an axe didnt get her but chopped up their tent put some dent in their car and then just disappeared into the bush towards the highway really freaked me out because i didnt even wake up until it was all over
