Nah! I believe Him!

Back few years ago I trapping in the public land. About 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away a small gas fired plant did heat treating.

So as I'm setting some traps at about 10 am, a large explosion went off. Ringing the woods and me. Past experience has told me, "hit the ground"!

I came out of the woods later to find everything is in tact. The ovens had not enough air to fuel mixture earlier to light. A little late by the operator.

This why for a lot of years returning to civilian life I wouldn't go to Forth of July fireworks. Those aerial BOOMERS are not nice.

The Darlington Valley in Delaware County, is watched over by Jim Murphy's spirit. He and Patrick Kreigh piled up record coon catches in the late 70's and 80's. Murphy just wont leave the valley. RIP

Muzzle flashes knowing they were meant for me

A game warden

My wife and myself where back in the mountains blue grouse hunting came about a suburban in a meadow
And walk up closer and yep we could smell she was tired of living.

We thought she was just sitting in driver's seat, well she was but Dead.

She had been missing for a few weeks.

Found a dead guy in a car one July, day temps were in the 90's, luckily found him first thing in the morning, cops thanked me for finding him before things got nasty, then set up a crime scene perimeter and had breakfast delivered....

I was coon hunting... my old redbone had something caught out in the middle of a pasture near a junk pile........ i was walkin along with flashlight on.... on of them nights so dark the light hardly worked...
a coyote came up from behind and let loose YIPYIPYIP........ the hair stood up on the back of my neck.... i nearly crawled outta my skin!!!... lol then i laughed ... boy he was close.... shined the light but never did see him !!

I have seen plenty of scary things in towns, but never in the woods or on the ocean.

Got a call from a rancher years ago that I was trapping on to come look at a dead cow he found. It's udder and vagina were cut off no blood and a very smooth cut line on both. Just cut through the hide and no mark on the meat. 2 weeks later I found one the same way a couple miles from the first one

I was coming out of the woods one hot October day when a friend who was only a few feet in front of me fired his rifle. We were in a rather thick area with lots of vines. I shouted to him and he replied snakes. I looked at my feet and I was standing in a bed of snakes. Everything in the south that is not jet black is automatically a copperhead. I jumped but my feet went one way and the rest of me another way and I fell squarely on my butt among all those young snakes. Didn't get bit but sure was frightened almost to death.

Was out checking beaver dams last fall, and stopped to pick some blueberries, just turned on my camera to take a picture and this old boy, stepped out of the patch. Lucky the wind was in his face, and the beaver pond was behind me. Need less to say I went swimming.

Found what I thought was a demonic ritual place. Iron pot with solid mummified chicken heads, with a small sword impaled in the middle. The pot was resting on a silk blanket w hand stitched pentagrams and goat-like creatures. REAL creepy stuff! Had me looking over my back and neck hairs standing straight. Actually called to cops to report it and they seemed to think it was related to a Jamaican satanic group that ran around north of Wilmington DE and Philly suburbs.

I wouldn't characterize this as "scary", but was certainly discomforting.

My cousin and I were coming off a north Idaho elk hunt. This was nearly 50 years ago. It was late at night, darker than the inside of a cow. Driving down the St. Joe River on a dirt road. In the headlights, the dirt all over the road was scuffed and rutted. Cousin Bob slowed the truck and we both noticed pretty good puddles of dark in the road. Among the dirt and the puddles (which turned out to be blood), there was a ghostly white item, almost looked like a plastic grocery bag. We stopped, and it was immediately apparent the almost-white item was a human hand. Very ragged skin at the wrist, with noticeable tendons stringing out. We picked it up and bagged it (pretty much ambient temperature; no body heat remaining) and headed on down the Joe. Few miles further on, we see flashing cop lights coming at warp speed up the river. We stopped, and flagged down the County Sheriff. Turns out, he was racing back up the road looking for the hand. He spun his truck around and raced down river ahead of us. Found out later that it was some hunters that were trying to load a balky horse. One of the guys apparently wrapped the horse's lead around his wrist and was trying to load the horse, when it severely balked and the rope pulled off the hand. We also found out that the doc's in town were unable to save the hand, as it had cooled too much to be viable.

Not too scary, but certainly a bit weird.

That's Crazy

Not so scary but very eerie. I was hiking the Ice Trail in WI the 3rd week of April West of the Wolf River and east of the Bogus Swamp in 1998. It was mid-day and I was hiking in Langlade CO. I was alone and used my bike to ride back to my truck usually doing 8-12 miles in sections depending upon roads and terrain. As I was hiking I came upon a fresh wolf scat, still steaming and full of hair. I walked a few yards and looked off to my left and about 50-70 yards were two wolves just walking along keeping that distance. I kept walking and just doing side glances and they kept walking but not getting closer. How eerie, how long had they been watching? Made the hair stand up on the back of one's neck. I have spooked bears while hiking and you get a woof and hear them crashing away but not these two wolves. Never looked to see if there were more.

Not too much scares me these days except my own imagination, but every once in a while I have to fight off the heebie jeebies when the hair on my neck stands up for whatever reason, usually when I'm out at night.

I hunted on a military base and the a10 warthogs coming in for target practice would get me by surprise

BRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT!

How many of you have found dead bodies?

I found a burned out car pushed way back on a logging road. but no discernible body inside. We called it in and got out quick.

Walking around the edge of a bridge wall and coming face to face with a black bear.
