Creepiest experience in the outdoors
I remember being 8ish and my uncle and dad telling stories around the camp fire about wompus cats and swamp monsters. It really messes with a kids head you know.

My dad used to tell me the same things. His version consisted of wompus cats, the cane monster (grew up in venice where we had lots of roseau canes), and my favorite the gookanikki (don't know how to spell it but pronounced asian-a-nikki).
