I have been in the woods all my life and I am a very large man. Having said that I will admit that there are times I get terrified
in the woods at night. Espesially alone. With hunting buddies it is different but I believe that people can pick up on bad vibes in the area or a "disturbance in the force" so to speak and it effects them.
From swamps to foothills I have learned that there is something to fear out there in the dark that defies explaination.
