My friend and I went camping a few years ago. We wanted to see just who could stay up the longest after driving 13+ hours to get there with no naps... Somewhere about 3 AM we had to use the john, so we hiked about a half mile to the flushing toilets. Ocaisionally as we walked you could hear this crunching noise, no big deal, we both thought it was gravel from the trail. On our way back to the tent we were stopped by a couple of rangers who warned us to zip up and secure our tents. My friend asked the preverbial "Why?" question, and the rangers kindly showed their lights on the trail that we had just walked up a little while earlier. It was covered with thousands of tarantulas.... Believe me, I had no trouble staying up all night long... especially when I could feel them crawling under the tent...

squirrels fighting or a panther's scream. both will send you running straight home. i heard the squirrels when i was on the hill behind my house. i was looking at the stars when farther up the hill i heard these screams and trees rustling. i never ran faster in my life.
i heard the panther when my husband and i stayed at his parents. they live in an underground house. i was just about asleep when i heard this eerie cry. almost like a woman's scream with a supernatural quality to it. my arm hairs and goose bumps raised. it was freakin terrifying. i don't scare easy, but that just creeped me out.
oh, i own a tarantula that is bigger than my hand.

We watched Ghosthunters on the Sci-Fi channel and decided to take pictures outside to find orbs. What we found was way beyond that! It looked like ghost people sitting in the trees at the edge of my parents property. The thing that is scary is that there was an old cemetery there years ago that is grown up now. My father says that there was many kids buried there, and that's what we saw in the pics. I was scared for a long time and hated going outside after dark.

I once was going downstairs to class at the school I go to, and it was storming and the lights flickered off. And in that brief moment, I swear, out the corner of my eye, I saw someone standing behind the door but when I turned to look, I felt like two hands on my back, shoving me forward. I nearly fell down the stairs, and when I turned around again, nobody was there. The door had been shut the whole time, nobody opened it and escaped-no one could have, there simply wasn't enough time.

Well I'll have to start from the beginning or else you just wont get it. If i want to go somewhere i walk, i stay very close to a mall so i walk there, one night after having a few bears with some of my friends i was walk ing home, late. I was in my street when i realized someone was following me. Naturally i freaked out, but didn't run (inappropriate shoes). I got into my house safe and sound. Took a shower, when the lights went off, (i stay on a yard with 4 flats on) got out the shower in the dark, in nothing but a towel and went up to the main house, i always leave my door open if i go to the main house. got back to my house, lit a few candles, and got into bed. and just as i was about to fall asleep i heard something coming from my closet, didn't want to get up coz by this time i was scared shi.tless. (its dark and scary) and out of the closet jumps my dear boyfriend who decided after i had left the mall to follow Me and surprise me. needless to say i nearly made him sleep with the dogs. but i didn't. :)

Walking from the bonfire to the house barefooted after the fireworks on the 4th of July and feeling something damp, cool, round and moving under my feet. Thought it was a snake, but it was my brother playing with the waterhose just to hear me scream.

Actually nothing, I've had a few experiences as a kid and now nothing really bothers me anymore. But sometimes if I have to go to the bathroom I'll stand at my bedroom door and stare into the darkness of my house and try to imagine being whatever is there is seeing thru their eyes. So whatever is there is probably more scared of me than I am of it.

Twice being within hearing range of a Black Panther,once out rabbit hunting, being in close range of somebody with a silencer on their gun, and once, waking up to a bright light over my window and not knowing where I was or the orientation of the room.
All the instances ocurred in VERY southern Mississippi.

An opossum. Those things have a lot of teeth and regular hands, you can't call them paws!! This was at my back door of a 3rd floor apartment in Evanston, Illinois...not exactly opossum country, but there she was. Did I close the door fast! Scared the crap out of her, too.
