I saw a video recently talking about how generally people living in the country ignore weird noises in the woods, and it reminded me of some of the weird noises i've heard from the woods near my house.

i want to know your scariest stories about stuff like that because I can't sleep anyway so I may as well have a reason. it can be real experiences or more urban legend type stories, I just can't find enough good scary stuff because the internet sucks now.

I was camping by myself near the Indian Heaven Wilderness in the south Cascades and two owls were having a hootenanny for about 15 minutes, and it was echoing in the canyon. It was such a cool, spooky experience, I loved it.
