re: What is the creepiest thing you’ve experienced while in the woods?

Nothing too creepy for me. However I do understand the feeling of being unsettled in the dark woods. Was camping in the backwoods with lady Mufassa. It was a new moon so was pitch black out. I left her in the tent late at night to walk down the hill to the lake to check on a catfish line and was very careful to note landmarks on the way down as there was no path. After checking the line I picked my angle back up the hill and was very certain I was walking the right direction. It was so dark I felt like I was looking straight into a blanket. When I crested the hill I was so certain the tent was 10ft in front of me but just too dark to see. I called out and I could hear my SO faintly calling back probably 100 yards to my 4o’clock. Hard to believe I misjudged the direction that badly, but it definitely sent a chill down my spine being positive you’re looking towards somebody and then hearing them so far away.
It's funny how you can get turned around. I was deer hunting once in a stand and my truck was tucked away maybe about a half mile or a little more across a corn field. The edge of the corn field was the long side of a triangle of woods with arms of a small lake bordering the two short sides of the woods. relatively small patch of woods.
As it was getting dark I saw a few deer walk out close to where my truck was parked. I decided to get down and walk back inside the tree line to the truck and see about those deer. It was crazy dark in there and I had gone in to the woods a little more to get around some downed trees.
I got completely turned around in there. It was ridiculous. Finally just made myself pick a direction and walk. If I hit water I'd turn right. If I hit corn I'd turn left.
When I finally got back to the truck all I could think was "how in the hell did I get turned around like that in such a small patch of woods."
