    I have lived in a remote area most of my adult life. I have discovered that if human beings show up at your house when you live in a secluded area, they’re usually up to no good.

      ​@anthonymichael5078 I live on a mountain in East Tennessee and in my experience it's not "usually" trouble when strangers knock, but it's such a rarity that an unexpected knock occurs that it always kicks in my spider sense.
      I've never had an "incident", but the eerie thing is I have 2 neighbors that could hear me at my place, if I literally screamed (and that's assuming they don't have electronics or tools making noise and that they're home).
      In other words, if things get freaky, you're probably on your own.
      You're correct, anthonymichael, that "we are there too", but the thing is we're living there.

    I'm 66, hike in northwoods Wisconsin with my dogs daily. I watch my dogs, they alert me quietly of wolves, bears, people. One time my aussie froze. I couldn't see what it sensed. She turned took my hand in her mouth and moved me back down the trail. She kept looking back, so did I. When we got to the truck i looked up the trail and saw a couger looking at us. Thank God for my dogs. I also live in a cabin in the woods. I have dogs and weapons, trail cams and a super lock system. No one gets close to my cabin before my dogs alert. I fear the wolves the most....and cougars.

    I was pumping gas when an old friend of mine came up a little close. He's happily married, so this was odd. I stepped back a bit, but he came in closer. He politely entered my "space bubble" charmingly and whispered "theres a man behind you watching your moves with bad intent." he then helped me pump my gas and waited until the other man left. He probably saved my life by presenting the idea that i was not alone.
    I was a solo young lady, packed up to go camping for the weekend. He was an Angel in that moment, sent from God.

      He was an old friend though? HE might have been stalking YOU, using the old "there's a bad man behind you" ruse, and never been a suspect in your disappearance because "he's happily married". Being such a hero, I bet you'd have trusted him completely, right? All too easy, for those with a terrible agenda

      1) You're pumping gas? If someone approaches you in a menacing manner you can always hose them down real good. 2) A woman thinks she's being followed. What does she do? Drives straight home. (but of course) Dudes park next to her 1 gets out and goes up to her window. She lowers her window (of course). He pulls a gun, she starts to raise her window. He shoots her (of course) she later dies. Told rather coldly by me but that's life sometimes. True story as told on YT. I won't tell you the rest. It's even more heinous. That friend of yours is truly a friend and observant. You're right he probably saved you. 🙏

    I has an experience similar to what Diane shared. She talked about a 'feeling" that someone was out there. I live on a street with no street lights so night is very dark. Cant see anything. I went out to my trash can to throw a bag in there. As soon as I closed the lid I had a strange feeling someone was watching me. Total silence outside, pitch dark. couldn't see anything. I went in the house and grabbed a flashlight inside the front door. I came back out and shined a light in the yard. Dead smack in front of me about 20 feet was a deer staring right at me! How did I know he was looking at me? No sight, no sound. It was like I felt his presence.

      It's called "Spidey-sense". 🕷
      Was camping one summer with a group of friends up near Wright's Lake in the Sierra Nevada. Sitting around the campfire after dinner, having a few beers. Somebody says "Hey we forgot desert, watermelon." So they slice it up for everybody, and we throw the rinds into the woods behind us when we finish our slice. It's dark, and you're staring into the fire, and you lose your night vision. Fire crackling, small talk and jokes and laughter. Get up to take a leak in the woods, turn on the flashlight to see where I'm going, and there's 2 or 3 deer eating the watermelon rinds not 10 feet from the back of my chair. Scared the shit out of me. Snuck right up on us.

      Your pupil will adapt and grow in the dark to a degree and allow you to see better if you give it few minutes. It may well be the case that the vision isnt the one that is getting improved but only the conscious registration of the sight. We smell and see things that don't register in our consciousness Think of how sexual hormones work. Invisible and untraceable by your conscious self, yet bodies know.

    I used to go fairly deep into the Appalachian woods to forage for morel mushrooms and spread ginseng seeds. I ran into a few people and it was always creepy. Most of the time they were younger kids on four wheelers. One time I ran into a guy who was in his 50s. He seemed normal and dressed nice, like a dad out in the woods. He talked to me and was pleasant, but something seemed off.
    Then he offered to show me his "secret morel spot" which freaked me out. First off all I didn't want to know incase I was already aware of the spot, but more flaggishly, no stranger shows you their spots. You don't even want to show friends your spots, and if you do, you make them swear that they will never tell another soul. But this guy kept getting more insistent. Not in a threatening manner, but it felt super sketchy. I told him I was done for the day and headed back to my car.
    He may have just been a nice guy trying to spread the morel love, but he might have also buried my corpse out there somewhere. I wasn't trying to find out. I had a bowie knife on me, but I didn't really want to get into a knife fight with some dad guy in the middle of the wilderness over some mushrooms.

Unfortunately this man had suffered from a severe injury that resulted in, literally, most of his face being caved in. Just eyes and a sunken mouth, fixed in place.

All I remember was his face and he had super long dread locks. Scared me so bad I turned around ran all the way home… I told my mom and she told me he was a really sweet guy & known around the neighborhood. Turns out he got robbed on his way home from work and they shot him in the face 😮

    As a surfer, I get those same feelings the guest spoke about when she was alone in the woods. Every once in awhile I get them while out in the water. Those sharky feelings where the hairs on your neck just stand up and you suddenly get a chill run down your spine. They don’t happen often, but when they do, I err on the side of caution and just get out of the water. I think anyone who is in tune with nature can get these primal feelings that are buried deep in all our ancestral DNA. The forest can be a beautiful but spooky place if you’re used to living in the city. It’s always good to take precautions when hiking in the wilderness. Go in prepared & know your terrain.

    I've gotten that feeling she's talking about one time in my life. I found a new fishing hole one day, out back roading. So I pulled over and got out to throw a line in, see if it was worth coming back to. The road was along this bluff, so I pulled off and parked right alongside it. Grabbed my rod an reel, and tackle box and went over to the waters edge. As soon as I cast out I got this feeling like I was being watched. I scanned the other side thinking maybe someone was already there, and I just hadn't noticed them. Didn't see or hear anybody. Then out of nowhere I just got this intense fear. I turned around and looked at the top of the bluff behind me, and there was a mountain lion sitting by a tree looking down on me. I froze, I didn't know what to do. I had to go back to my car to leave, but it was sitting about 30 feet above my car. I just started talking really loud, and slowly went to my car. It watched me the whole time, but never made a move toward me. If I hadn't gotten that feeling and turned around, I doubt I'd be here typing this now.

      We are only just chipping away at the vast complexity of the human body. There are parts of our DNA yet undiscovered that do crazy stuff that we don’t understand, such as the placebo effect. In fact the vast majority of genetic material in each body is viral and bacterial rather than human, living mostly in a perfectly balanced symbiotic dance. All that non human dna plays a huge part in deciding our personality, our health and longevity. When we lived in the woods or caves and hunted to eat our bodies developed an inbuilt danger detector. You may have seen the lion but not consciously recognised it, you may have smelled its pheromones despite predators trying to stay upwind ( how do they know ). It’s not supernatural,, everything has a natural explanation even if we can’t figure out what it is.

    This is without a doubt the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, and still gives me lasting unease when I talk about it or think of what could have happened that night.
    in 1993, I was 21 at the time, and was in town with my girlfriend to stay at her sister’s house in Chico, CA. I wanted to do a little fishing while there, but must admit that I did not have a license, as I was visiting from Oregon. In light of this, I chose to wait until late evening, and head out of town a bit to a more secluded area to try my luck. I drove out of town approximately ten to fifteen miles and found a spot under a bridge. I believe it was the Big Chico Creek.
    I got all set up and started casting. I had been there no more than about twenty minutes, when I saw headlights shine on the trees above me. Figuring it was just a passing vehicle, I didn’t think much of it. A short time later I heard something and looked up the makeshift trail I had taken to get under the bridge. All of a sudden, what had to be a flood light turned on, shining right down on me. Thinking it was Police, I set my rod down and put my hands in the air, showing I was not armed.
    After several more seconds had passed, the light still shining directly on me, I asked “can you please turn the light off as I could not see anything. Shortly after, the light turned off, but I could not yet see, as I was still regaining my vision from the brightness of the flood light.
    Slowly I began to make out the shape of a person. As my vision continued to improve, I could see it was a man with long dirty blonde hair without a shirt on. At this point, I was pretty terrified, as this was probably after 1am in the morning. As I am thinking how I should respond, the guy takes off running down the trail towards me. I am not exaggerating when I say I truly contemplated jumping into the river as I felt my life was in danger.
    Shortly before reaching the bottom of the trail, the guy stumbles and falls to the ground. I picked up a knife from the ground beside me I had brought to clean the fish, and tell him not to come any closer. He gets up quickly and walks aggressively towards me, and I tell him again to stay back.
    He stops about five feet away, looks me right in my eyes and says ‘What are you doing out here, don’t you know that people get killed out here all the time”? I had no idea what to do or say to this, and told him, I am just here at a friend’s house for the weekend and I did not know that. I have my knife in my hand, holding it slightly behind me and to my side. He gives me the longest, coldest stare I have ever experienced and turns, without saying a word and heads back up the trail.
    I put everything back in my tackle box quickly , except the knife and was ready to leave. I knew I was not going up that trail until I could clearly hear and see the vehicle leave. I believe I would have been attacked if I had, and nobody had cell phones back then.
    I waited for what seemed like forever to see the lights turn back on, and finally they did. I quickly headed up to my rig and drove back.
    I have reflected on this night for over thirty years, and it shakes me to my core to think what that man’s intentions were and wonder how many others may not have been as lucky as I was.

They judge a target by cost, how hurt might they get by going after potential prey. Predators are much less likely to put up a fight when the prey turns on them.

    Spent 21'years.in the woods and came to rely on my 3 big dogs plus all the animals that lived around my cabin. I always knew if humans where near by by their actions. Birds would sound an alarm or my squirrels would begin to chirp loudly, thst in turn would alert my dogs, one who's node seemed a bit better than the others would put his head up and sniff the sir then began to trot the property perimeter whoofing. It never failed that within an hour wed see people walking in the distance. Funny thing when living with animals, if you dont harm them they in turn provide a sort of protection/alarm system.

    I was in NC one night bringing hurricane helene relief supplies to a church around 10pm and on the way back saw a man on his hands and knees out of the corner of my eye on the shoulder of the road. I immediately got goosebumps and felt like I just saw a ghost. We stopped and made a U turn to find a 64 yr old man with blood on his arms talking about how he had been drugged and wrecked his truck, I couldn’t see the truck as it was about 75 feet from the road with branches and vines all over it from the wreck, but I could hear a dog inside the truck barking, I sat the man down and called 911. As I called 911 I approached the vehicle to see if anyone else was injured inside. when I got about 15 feet away I realized I was seeing the face of a very clearly dead man in the driver seat of the truck through the vines. In that moment I felt one of the most evil demonic presences I have ever felt, I turned around and walked back to the man immediately and started questioning him, he kept saying he had no clue who this man was… but that he had been drugged and woke up and shot this man to death. He said exactly “that body in the truck, I do believe that body to be dead” I responded “how did he die??” He said “I shot that body 3 times”. Right as he’s admitting this murder to me the police are showing up. I had no clue if he still had a weapon on him, I had mine on me… I’m tired of typing but the craziest part about this whole thing is I got it all on video. 20 whole mins of one of the scariest things I’ve ever walked up on… I thought I was just helping a car wreck victim… turns out the 64 yr old man murdered his buddy for trying to stop him from driving drunk. Before I saw the dead body he kept trying to convince me to help him to the truck to get his “phone”. When the cops showed up and put him in handcuffs I walked up to the truck again with the sgt to pull the vines off. When we got a good look inside there was a pistol laying right where he wanted me to bring him to get his “phone”. He probably would’ve killed me too and taken my truck to get away. Stay safe, stay smart, stay vigilant. & Never trust a strangers word. Your instincts aren’t lying. If you want to read more on the story the NC Cherokee co sheriffs office did a post on it. The murderers name was Richard Abrain

I was about 14, left school early and was heading home (about 7 miles) and thumbed a lift (hitch hiked) a man in his 60s pulled up, i got in but the minute i belted up i got this awful feeling and just wanted to get out. He was chatting away and said he was going somewhere but would be heading through my village and he'd drop me on his way back. I lied and said no thank you as my mother was waiting for me at the turn off for my village. He just said ok and pulled up and let me out. I gave out the biggest sigh of relief when i got out of that car and vowed never to get in a strange car again and never did. I walked the rest of the 3 miles home

    She is not wrong. While at work at 4:30, I opened the back door to dump out some dirty water. After I closed the door, I felt regret for doing that. I felt like I was being watched. Five minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Dressed as a security guard, he wanted me to open the door. My spidey senses said absolutely not. It was found out later that he went to another business and tried to rob them. The worker opened the door. A man fueling up across the street saw a struggle and called the police. He was arrested, and after a few days in court, he decided to take a plea deal and plead guilty. Listen to your senses. I've had it happen two times, and the second time, I listened, and everything turned out fine. The first time, it was a feeling, and I couldn't shake it. I couldn't understand why I was feeling like I was living my final hours. Woke up the next morning and just kept having this nagging feeling like something bad was going to happen. I just didn't know what until I went to work and was shot in the face during a robbery at the same job. As soon as the guy pulled the sawed off 22 rifle over the counter that I realized that, hmm, I think I figured out why I have been having this feeling. Though I had many coworkers around, I knew something bad was going to happen to me. In the seconds leading up to him shooting me, I just thought, wow, in ten seconds, I'm going to be dead. Weird stuff like that goes through your mind. Luckily, where was shot, the bullet traveled through my cheek and exited just before my ear. It hit my ear lobe, but no damage to my ear. The doctor said I shouldn't have survived because it missed a major artery by your ear. Still enough blood to where the police who responded walked in and thought I was dead. Being 19 at the time, my parents were notified. My mother broke through a police barrier and jumped over the counter to where I was lying on the ground. Very interesting night. What really saved me was that just before he shot, my reaction was to turn away. Otherwise, at three feet away, it would have been an easy headshot. So, anytime something doesn't feel right, I listen to my little voice.

    Once I went camping with a friend on an island, where there are a lot of people camping. At middle of night, we couldn't sleep and decided to go for a walk. As there are inns there, you can see the path because there are some points of light. Until we arrived at the beach, it was completely pitch black, only moonlight. We were there contemplating the sky when we saw a point of light in the distance on our left side. We looked again and that light began to grow more and more. a dot became a circle and started to get closer. We were both scared to death. What was that coming, very quickly, in the middle of the night? The light came closer, closer and when it got very close, we saw that it was the light from a old man's bicycle Lol And in the end, he was the one who got scared seeing two random people with scared faces in the middle of nowhere in the dark.

    Some say that 99% of the human psyche operates subconsciously, with only 1% in conscious awareness. If this is true, then listening to your 'intuition' or 'gut feeling' is not superstition; it’s simply respecting the mechanics of the mind. Personally, my intuition often reveals insights about people and situations that are beyond what I consciously perceive or can detect with my five senses. Ignoring the messages from my subconscious would be like disregarding the bigger part of my mind-a dangerous way to live.

    I live in the north east region of Montana in a very remote ranch house with 80 acres. Have seen everything from cougars, panthers, wolves to grizzly and black bears. One night I heard very loud banging noises across my open field by the timbers and thought it had to be people messing around on my property so I got my high beam spot light and shined it across the field towards the timber where the noise came from. I saw a large creature that looked like a big grizzly bear but standing upright and it looked right towards me and I could see it's gleaming eyes in the light and it took off through the timber running upright like a human. It took a couple big lunges and I could no longer see it but the following day I drove my 4 wheeler out to where I seen it and there was a huge log with bark pieces missing on it and also a standing living tree with pieces of bark missing off it where it hand been smacking this log against it. This was about 7 years ago and haven't seen or heard like it since but I'll never forget it.

      Bears are terrifying man. Never seen one but I'm from Wisconsin and my family owns a cabin up north 15 mins south of the Michigan border. My grandpa has all kind of pictures of black bears. He told me this one story about when he was walking in the woods down to our dock late at night. He heard sticks crackling to his right and he could see a 6-7ft silhouette about 10-15 feet away. He had a flashlight and shined it at the thing. It was a giant moose just staring at him and he said he's never been more scared in his life. Just a curious moose but absolutely nothing to mess with haha.

I’ll tell the most human story where my intuition kept telling me to leave the tent after dark. Get my shit and go back to my car. I finally did and smoked a cbd joint once I did, but it smelled strong and was illegal at the time in NM to have weed. On a lone mountain road, a cop car pulls right behind me. Lights on. I sink into my backseat reinforcing, “I’m invisible and part of the backseat, I’m invisible…” 15-20min go by and nobody approaches so I peek my head and see a cop having a standoff with a herd of wild cattle. The cattle start yelling at him and he’s trying to get them off the road. He never shines a light into my car and in the morning I see my tent was trampled by the herd. 😮‍💨That spot was something else…

I had a pit once that was trained to stay in the yard so he would wait for people to come in the yard and then wag his tail etc. One night I was sitting in the yard on the swing and he starts growling and moving real slow towards the gate. A man was walking to the neighbors house but right next to the gate. I know my dog could sense that person was not a good person because he wasn't even in the yard and he was warning the guy to not even try it. He never reacted that way to anyone else. Energy is important and gives those spidey senses that tell us something is off. Trust your gut.

    I felt alarmed every time I crossed paths with this creep. He was normal looking, so at first I thought it was just me. But my body was telling me something was very wrong. And then it escalated. And then it got really bad, rapidly. That is until my sister's old boyfriend tackled him and read him the riot act. We never saw him after that again. I was so relieved because he left me creepy notes, on my car. I parked a long way from the track because of lack of parking. I couldn't figure out how he knew which wss my car.

Whitney- over 14,200 feet. We were by ourselves and we see this random guy in shorts coming down from the peak. It was surreal and frightening.
    If you ever been to eastern california on the other side of the sierra nevadas, you'd know how alien the surroundings look. Its so beautiful and eerie at the same time. It's one of my favorite places to be. But at the same time, it's all wilderness AND the wind alone could kill you. The dude was in shorts, coming down from 14k feet. The weirder part was that he looked outta shape- he was on the pudgy side- he did not look like a hiker at all. When he got close, i had my hand in my holster ready to unholster my Sig Sauer 9mm at him if he tried anything. But he didn't even look at us. He was about 10 yards away at his closest and he was focused on going down the mountain I'm hecka tired going up . Nothing really happened. It was just weird.

I truly consider them evil, and there are degrees' to it. If you get a "feeling" about someone or something, listen to your gut.

    We live in the forest. One time i was playing in the woods with my kids and puppy. We have boulders and love climbing them. I climbed one and sat down, and suddenly something told me to look around for an animal. Then I saw a bear just sitting there watching us from the edge of our neighbors woods. So close! I slid off that rock with the quickness, untied the puppy and we quickly walked out of there 😆 we really do have a sense that tells us if something is near us

    When I was in 4th grade we had a 110 acre farm and I use to always play in the woods. We had a tree we nicknamed the man tree because it's unique shape. One day I was sitting on the tree and I hear my name being called very softly like a whisper. It stopped me and I completely froze for a second in confusion. I looked around and saw nothing. Then I heard my name being called again and my stomach dropped, The voice called out my name again in the same tone. I ran as fast as I could back to the house and seen my mom with the 2 dogs after I emerged from the woods. I asked her if she called for me and she said No. Immediately I started crying. Whatever happened that day I knew was something bad out there watching me play. Still gives me chills.

    I was driving down a hill where there was a blind crossroads with traffic lights. Despite the fact that I had the green light, I felt the need to brake hard and, as I did so, a car shot across in front of me having jumped the red light. I had not heard or seen this car approaching because, as I said, the crossroads was blind. I have not idea what made me brake but doing so resulted in saving me from a collision or worse. Never forgot it.

    I frequently camped solo a few miles from home. The trail I walked was very familiar to me and I often walked it at night. One night I noticed that a limb had fallen out of a large tree on a hill - approx 50 yards off the trail - I could see by its silhouette against the sky that it was leaning against the trunk of the tree. I made a mental note of it because I was always looking for convenient sources of wood to burn. The next day I went to the location. There was no limb. I did see several very large footprints, a third longer than my size 10 boots. That is the one and only time in my life that I felt scared. Needless to say, I carried a gun with me from that day on.

    I was hiking alone on top of a 12,000 ft moutain in backcountry Colorado a few years ago... just minding my business, exploring the entrance of an abandoned mineshaft, when out of nowhere, i heard a guy and looked up and there was another hiker... in the middle of nowhere, randomly on the top of some mountain, miles away from any civilization. While the interaction was harmless, it still weirded me out that in the hours of hiking in open area on a mountain, where you can see everything in every direction for hundreds of yards, if not miles, some dude just popped out of nowhere to approach me.

    The reason it is weird and scary to meet someone in the woods is because of intentions. In a mall it's more publicly open, you know people will be in and out often, and you generally understand anyone walking around is primarily there with the intention of purchasing browsing etc etc. In the woods there isn't much to read off of someone except that they're moving through. You don't know if foraging, tracking or exploring etc. The fear that the intentions could be malicious because you know people won't be in and out of your general location. I think it's pretty basic.

    There's definitely areas that feel different than other areas and I'm not sure why. I think there's a lot of factors that contribute to the way an area feels. Sometimes its me and my mood or the weather, temperature and lighting has a lot to do with it, time of day can make an area feel very different. Wind is a big factor, seasons changing. When you can feel winter coming for sure has a feeling about it. Also, your own sense of belonging in areas that are remote make a difference. What your doing in terms of working, exploring, hunting, or just taking a walk. Tracking trespassers can have a strange feeling depending on what the trespasser was up too. Animal experiences can have an affect. They act different at different times of the year and day. Sometimes if your looking for an experience, stay very quiet, move slow, be alone and LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. Your senses start to come alive it's amazing how you can become part of it if you're trying to blend into it rather than impose yourself into an area. Everything around you is affected by your motivation and sensitivity. Ask yourself what kind of an experience you want to have before you go into the woods and bring the mind set and a presence that cultivates what's happening there already to continue even though you are there. Humans have a big, loud, clumsy presence that needs to be toned down in the woods to have an experience of the woods and what go's on when we're not there. They probably need to tone it down everywhere.

      I live in an area that has a lot of historic significance, where many Civil War battles and skirmishes took place. Now it's a suburban area of Atlanta. In over 30 years here, I've become aware of places around here that are different. Feel different, or strange things will happen. On the internet a few years ago there was a story of a haunted area and I did a little research and discovered a bloody skirmish had taken place right where that area is... in fact had felt the creek bed through that area was creepy for many years. Then remembered looking at a home (when I was moving here) that had backed up to that land, and remembered really liking the home but upon seeing the backyard and scenery beyond, was super creeped out and said, "Let's go." Even though it's a pretty area. So yes, some areas feel different.

      Interesting. I've never explored the East woods, I imagine the history of war in many areas could play a role in ones experience. Again, a person must be open to an experience. A person's own head can play some games with them that can REALLY create the experience on its own as well. There's a level of comfort a person needs to have just being out there. I didn't realize how uncomfortable some people can be out there. When you bring all that with you your kind of setting yourself up.

    I was staying at my sister’s and woke up about 3am heart racing with fear. I felt like there was danger close by. She lives in the middle of the country with a long dirt driveway and I’ve always felt safe there. Her husband was out of town for work and I immediately started thinking if someone broke in what would I grab for defense, how would I protect the kids. I told her about it the next morning and at the very same time I woke up she also woke up with the same feelings. She started praying to God to hide us from anyone with evil intentions. She’s not a paranoid person as she doesn’t blink at going out in the middle of the night to milk goats. But something woke us up out of a dead sleep with our alarm bells ringing that danger was close
