Came across a functioning moonshine still. It wasn’t creepy; the idea of some protecting it was.

1. That’s pretty damn armed


It is if you’re in the stand, not when you’re on the ground walking in the dark on a dirt road about 12’ wide when there’s definitely hogs running around out there.

Hard to put a lot of rounds through the barrel of the bolt-action 270 in the scenario of running into a pack of hogs. I’d have rather had my AR.

When I was around 16 was just exploring though the woods and came across a very old creepy obviously abandoned house/camp. Second I saw it I freaked out and headed back out.
Fast forward two years when Blair witch project came out, the damn house at the end of that movie looked just like that. I admit that movie was silly and overrated but when they came up on that house it gave flashbacks and made the hair stand up on my neck.
Just random coincidence but freaked me the hell out.

I was riding a 3 wheeler through some low brush and an armadillo jumped up about 8 inches in front of my face... I seriously thought an alien was about to abduct me for a second.

Not me personally (not a deer hunter) but a few of the strange guys I work with always claim to beat off in their deer stands while in the woods. The creepy part is their kids always go hunting with them. Well that just kinda creeps me out!

Once I was making an evening hunt behind a cemetery.I was 20 feet up a pine tree on the edge of a clear cut,I could see the graves and headstones.Right at dark,something whacked me in the back of the head.I looked over at the cemetery and got a serious case of the creeps.Then I looked up and there was a Horned Owl about 10 feet up on a limb glaring at me.I guess his eyes hadn’t acclimated to the dark yet and he mistook me for a critter.
I actually hunted behind that cemetery several times.I could take a shortcut through it or walk the long way around it.I would try it in the dark but I never made it more than 1/3 rd before I turned around and went around it the long way.

Some of you guys may remember this incident. Back in 1990 or 91, 3 kids that had just graduated drowned in the Amite River in Bluff Creek. I was 10 and out there that day.
I had been staying at my friends house who lived right there where it happened. We would go ride our bikes down the road to get to the river and play around out there. That day, his uncle told us some high school kids were going to be out there and to leave them alone and to stay out of the water. As we were riding around we saw them but kept our distance and went on about our business. As we were riding our bikes and turned back in the sand, I saw the strangest thing. There was a chain sticking up out of the sand and made a perfect arch back into the sand.
I yelled at my friend who was in front of me to stop because I wanted to get a closer look. I turned around to show him and it was gone and there was no trace of anything like what I described. We both looked back down the river and didn't see anything or the kids we had just seen 5 minutes prior. We both got a very creepy feeling and hauled arse back to the house and didn't go back out.

Later that night we started seeing cops showing up. We were told to stay inside and no one would tell us what was going on. At one point I recall my friends Uncle and a cop come in the house and asked us if we saw the kids out there. We told them we saw the truck and saw them down the beach but that was it.
It wasn't until years later I put everything together and we were the last people to ever see them. When we saw them they were just stepping into the river. When we turned back around and looked where they were, the current had swept them away.
When the bodies were found, the 3 of them had tied a rope around their waist and were trying to cross the river. That day will always stick out to me and I can recall almost every little detail.

1. How dated were the headstones? That’s pretty damn creepy in and of itself. My mind would be playing tricks on me hunting there. Hell, it still does even though I don’t hunt by a cemetery. Hard to not feel like eyes aren’t on you when walking through woods.

2. The owl thing is kinda comical. Did he hoot or screech at you afterwards? I bet it hurt like a son of a bitch too!

I’ve asked him that over the years about it maybe being a large bobcat or something like that. You’d just have to know my dad. Man has been an outdoorsman and hunter all his life. Mounts of everything from ducks, deer, alligator, bobcat. He just knows his way in the outdoors and I kinda base it off him. Hell I was like 5 or 6 so it just scared the shite out of me.

Good thing she was wearing orange or I would have lowered the boom on her.

That one isn’t that bad. It’s not like the coyotes are going to get in the stand with you.


Well it just creeps me out. Also, we have a cemetery on the lease. Kids have experienced some crazy things near it when riding 4 wheelers at night in the offseason.

Senses are heightened when you’re in the woods, even to the most seasoned hunters and outdoorsmen. Been hunting my entire life and noises still frick with me in darkness.

A man who had already killed 2 people with a shotgun wandering around the woods I was camping in (rural louisiana) with my friends when we were 10 years old.

We were woken up by cops and parents in a panic, they found him shortly after

I actually kinda get a kick out of hearing them. Knowing they’re doing the same thing I am; idk, makes me feel like I’m in a different time. But I park my buggy right behind my stand. I walk through maybe ten feet of a wood line to get to the buggy. So I don’t know how your set up is there, I bet you have a farther walk to your rig.

I stopped the 4 wheeler to write some shite down, and out of a big bush, I hear a woman’s voice say “hello”.


That would have scared the shite out of me. I’ve worked on some rural right of ways and seeing anyone Or having someone would come up on me would be unsettling if I were by myself.

I worked at one oilfield site that was a good ways from the nearest town. I was talking to the pumper who worked the field and commented how it was a good spot to hide a body as it was so damn rural and just swamp. The pumper goes into to tell me a woman had murdered a man out there years ago in the night. Tanker driver found the body the next morning. They caught the lady. We had a courier that would run us random things To the site and he refused to drive to the back because the place creeped him out too much.

In high school I used to bow hunt a tree 20 yds off the fence of a cemetery deep in the woods at my friends farm. This cemetery was fricked. It was about 20-30 headstones of various types. Latest headstone was from the late 1800’s. Quite a few were kids. It was in the middle of old timber at least a 1/2 from any road or field.

We used to go out there late at night as kids to scare each other.

No clue why my dumbass chose to hunt there a handful of times. I could’ve went a dozen other spots.

Also this same farm, my friends great grandma committed suicide in the farm house back in the 1970s

So the house wasn’t much better feeling than the woods
