| | | Checking out a very distant and very big dam wall/reservoir, far out of phone reception and first off being in a dense forest and hearing the loudest, almost demonic screams echoing and moving all around. When they all head towards you at once and you don't even know whether this beast is on the ground, in the air, big, small, evil, nice, etc; then is when the freezing fear kicks in. However, it doesn't even end there. After some decent shots of the dam wall, coming back to the car, far from people in this dense Australian forest at like 1am and this super creepy ute idles right near the car just as we approach. Highbeams blaring and you couldn't even see the driver. I don't know if anyone's ever seen Wolf Creek, but this was the real thing, some crazy Ivan Milat, Zodiac killer stuff. After nearly 30 seconds of us staring at the ute it just speeds off throwing dust all into the night. Bloody scary stuff.
(The demons ended up being just sugar gliders/flying foxes, which tend to let off almost demonic screams when searching for food)

| | | While hiking or exploring, before entering a wooded thicket or possibly inhabited structure, I try to remember to make my presence known to any other living creatures that may be around. I don't want any surprises! Once, I approached an isolated, long abandoned decaying house in the forest. I knocked three times on the nearest wall and shouted "Hello?! Anybody home?" into the still, quiet interior. To my surprise, after a pause, I heard an echo of three knocks on the floor/ceiling above me. I climbed the stairs to greet the "inhabitant", preparing for the worst, but never found anyone/anything anywhere else in the house. This has happened to me on one other occasion and while I don't attribute it to supernatural/paranormal stuff, I still can't explain it...

| | | ^^^ I love stories like that. Short, ambiguous, and unsettling. Couple of meh stories from me. 1. A few years ago, exploring a hospital. Our group split in two, with the other half leaving. After walking around for a bit, the guy I was with realized his phone was dead, and that the others had taken the only functioning sources of light we'd had. The only way out: through the sub-basement. We had to feel our way down and out in the dark. 2. More recently, like a few weeks ago. We were in a site that was wide open on all sides, and some people came up to the windows. Friend and I hid in the shadows and watched them, but they just seemed like curious people that chickened out before coming inside. We continued, but after a few minutes, J came running from one of the windows saying there was a car right outside. We waited a bit, and I figured, since the place was open on every side, we could just wait at one side and move into the woods when the chance came. Every time we approached an exit, a different vehicle would drive by, and we'd get behind something. A car and four SUVs, just circling the building, slowing down when they went by an exit, so we weren't sure if we'd already been seen. There's been a lot of attention on local gang activity recently, not so close that we'd have expected any trouble, but close enough that it was on our mind. After a while, I saw that one of the vehicles had parked. Thanks to glare, I couldn't see if anyone was in it. I was in a "screw it" kind of mood, since this site wasn't worth the anxiety and none of my pics were any good (priorities), so I just kind of stepped out. I looked to my right, and saw the other four. The half-dozen or so people that were getting out were just staring at me, not saying anything, so I walked up and started talking to them. Turned out to be a college photography class. Why they were circling the building, I still have no idea.

| | | Not really that scary, just more disappointing. There is a live site I have gone to a couple of times. Security is not good, it's easy to tailgate, plus creative routes allow you to circumvent badge scanners. Look official by putting white paper in a badge holder, then it looks like it's always facing the wrong way. Anyway, the site I went to tests computer equipment for US military. It used to be a factory but has been repurposed for office space. The middle floor ("mezzanine") is rumored to have old factory equipment. All of the doors there are locked, but I kept trying to look for a way in. There's a wing of the campus that has nothing but labs. Most of the labs have devices that will blast out RF waves because the components they test need to operate on a nuclear submarine. The labs are insane, there's locking chambers that look like they came out of The Watchmen. There's one giant room that reminded me of Portal, it has one giant ass antenna used for testing. All of this was behind a vault door, I was able to join a college tour of the area. Couldn't bring in a camera for obvious reasons, plus any electronic devices are banned from entering because they might damage equipment. Anyway I came back later and saw a ladder outside of the labs leading straight into the mezzanine. Yay!!! Except a sign said, don't enter during working hours due to radiation. So I didn't
