In Tennessee when the sun goes down, we go indoors!!!

Meets a guy hiking towards him who says “aren’t you scared of bumping into a serial killer?” and replies “now what are the chances of two of us running into each other?”.

There's a very good evolutionary reason why humans are afraid of the dark and especially of the dark in the wilderness. Listen to your ancient ancestors.

Tip for in the woods alone: if the birds, crickets, and other animals stop singing and chirping, that means a big predator is near! Small animals like crickets and birds won’t stop chirping for humans, but will do so for other predators.

Raised in Appalachia, no one knowing the area would do this.

Aaaaand that gets a 1000 on the FUCK THAT scale folks!
And I’m fucking Australian, that’s how fucked that shit is, I deal with spiders the size of the god damn Eiffel Tower everyday but fuck no to THAT.

in an end of the world/bugout scenario i do not fear man, i do not fear animals, i don’t even fear the dark. but the feeling that i’m being directly stared at when i know i should be alone? unimaginable

When I was a kid we used to live in a small camp of about 15 houses. There were no street lights and the local store was about a mile away. My mother used to send me to the store sometimes after the sun went down. It funny how your mind plays tricks on you at night.

Freaking insane...I have been listening to Missing 411 all surely is dangerous

[maryefromky]

oof. i'm an Appalachian native and the idea of hiking these woods after dark don't quite set right with me, lol. nope! the woods is fine during the day, but the vibe changes after the sun sets

[Kentro_fyv]

me, Appalachian born and raised. I'm scared of those woods at night, heard too many stories, seen enough while night hiking to at least make me bring a friend or two (loaded or unloaded). Maybe I'm just superstitious, still love the mountain's freedom though.

For a short amount of time, I've lived down a rural street completely surrounded by the wilderness in Brazil. No light poles.
A lot of people were afraid of that area, thinking it was gang territory. Personally, I don't recall seeing any suspicious individuals. It was pretty much in the middle of nowhere with a few farmers and bars further down being our only neighbors.
Still, walking down that pitch black street at night tensed me the fuck up. Felt like shit was about to hit the fan any second, and it never did.

I am from The hills and I have been in those woods at night. Yes you see something moving. Shadows really but there are Bobcat, mtn lions, bears and snakes that will kill you in these woods, never heard my name though. You just better hope the crickets don't stop chirping. Never go in alone and stay together, don't be playing jokes slipping away. It is incredibly easy to get lost in there.

I went on a hike last week that deliberately ended at night. I didn’t feel unsafe, but I had a distinct feeling I did not belong there. I agree with another comment that said it must be instinctive from our younger days as a species [when we had no means to protect ourselves from the things that go bump in the night.]

This would be a lot more fun with night vision, not only are you invisible to your environment, but you could see even further, depending on your weather condition. And if you wanna be real tacticool, add a peltor headset with your night vision, you will hear everything, and see (almost) everything. It's an awesome (very expensive!) experience.

I'm from a hollar in Kentucky and one night I was out down on an old dirt road and was just hanging out listening to the radio and went to start the car and the battery was dead, so I walked in the complete pitch black to a house I knew was down the road, it was so dark you wouldn't be able to see what was going to eat you, but I had no choice, cell phones didn't exist, I wasn't worried about people because I was from there, I was worried about something in the night that wasn't people
