Last night at around 5 me and my old man went kayaking. It was an 8 mile stream through a forest. We kept going all day but the sun started going down and we were still stuck out there. The bats started coming out, and were more annoying then anything. So we are out in the middle of the woods trying to find our way out when we get separated.
I just keep going because i figure i can come find him later. But i come to a tree in the river that is impassible. So i had to get out for the 10th time that day and push my kayak over. It's pitch black so i can't see shit. Finally he catches up to me and by then we made it to the highway. It's to dark to continue so we take the kayaks out.
Now we have to walk to find out truck. We hide the kayaks and he says we have to go for a mile walk. Well, i was pissed because i lost one of my shoes out on the river. So i hop that mile with him and he tells me we went the wrong way. So now we walked back to the kayaks and continue on another mile. On the last mile we say the meteors though.
I'm fucking sore as hell, i just woke up from last night.

This was a while ago, so some of the details may be a little rough. There's a big ass forest a few hours away from where I lived at the time (I don't recall it's name) that is well known for weird, scary shit that goes on. Being the young, stupid teenagers we were, a few friends and I decided to camp out there for the night. We arrived as the sun was going down, and right off the bat I started getting weird vibes. Everybody else seemed fine so I just ignored it. We were strolling along a trail exploring and my friend X had white ribbon he was tying to trees so we could find our way back if we got lost. We found our way into a clearing and saw an abandoned shed. It was creepy as fuck and I didn't want to go in but everybody else did, so I had no choice. There was a broken lock in the shed which made it even creepier. Inside the shed there was this jar filled with this black, goop? It smelled so disgusting in there, we all decided to leave. It got dark by the time we were walking back, and our flashlight was incredibly dim. I noticed I didn't see anymore of X's ribbons. I brought it to every body's attention, we were lost. We turned around trying to find our way back to the shed, I heard something smack my friend A in the face. We shined the flash light on it and a raw piece of bloody meat was hanging from a rope tied to a tree. I'm not sure if a hunter put it there perhaps, but it was still creepy as fuck.
We finally made it back to the campsite, after a few hours of hearing rustling in the bushes and countless footsteps, and not to mention this horrid screeching (I'm sure it was a screech owl), we packed our shit and left. Never again.

Last year I was out hunting mushrooms a couple miles out in some deep woods,and I smelled a strong odor of paint.I thought why am I smelling paint all the way out in the middle of the woods,and then I cam upon a few cans of freshly used spray paint,and I got a overwhelmingly creepy feeling.I looked around,and picked up a can to examine it,and then I looked over in the distance about 20 feet from me,and there was a shirtless Charles Manson guy staring at me,with paint all over his mouth,and beard.I had never been so scared in my life,and thought he was going to try and kill me.He then started advancing towards me,and he saw my walking stick,and turned around and stumbled back into the bushes.To this day,I haven't went back to that area,because who knows what goes through the minds of sick people that inhale paint!

Absolutely man. I'd be heavily creeped out after that. At the time, I'd be terrified, confused, and in killer instinct mode. Because that's just weird, that dude wasn't comin up to say what's up and ask what you're having for dinner.

Absolutely. Wouldn't trust that for a second. I'd like to think he was just the friendly neighborhood paint sniffer but we all know that ain't true.

Wonder why he would go that far out in the woods just to sniff paint,unless he was living out there?

shivas.wisdom said: Similar thing happened to me about a month ago.
Was camping on a small island (Denman island) off the coast of Vancouver island--which has the highest concentration of cougars in N.America. I was hitching my way around, and by the time I got to the island it was getting late and I was tired, so I hiked into the centre of a large temperate rainforest and set up camp.
Flash forward to about 3am, when I am woken up by a cougar screaming in the not very distant distance. To make it worse, my last ride before getting to this island had been by a guy who, upon hearing that I was simply camping in the bush as I wandered, asked if I had been having any problem with wildlife--when I said 'no' he proceeded to warn me that they had been having a relatively high amount of cougar attacks in the area recently, and gave me the advice that they are hunting most actively around dawn and dusk, and to be aware.
Somehow, I feel back asleep--but you can be sure that, come first light, camp was broken down and I made like a banana.
believe it or not, you were more prone to being attacked while moving. getting in a tent is a full proof way to avoid a cougar. they need the chase mechanism to set them on a chase. bears will just stumble into your camp and eat your food, possibly you depending on the individual bear and it's past experiences with humans.

Interesting advice--cougars do not live where I grew up, so I am fairly unfamiliar with them, but I shall remember this.

I took a solo evening Catskill hike toward the Kaaterskill high peak via the southern entry trail that splits with Huckleberry Point. At the fork [--> to huckleberry pt, <-- to high peak] I downed most of my bottle of P cubensis tea & began my incline trek. My destination was this old Mohawk Indian Camp that is marked by a Cairn at about 3000' and is a totally unmarked trail that meets up with a snowmobile trail. Totally sketchy trip to take alone but it was early in the season so not much bushwacking.
I get to the cairn and I am REALLY feeling the come-up...meaning, I'm tripping balls. When the trail leveled off it began with a patch of beautiful pines, and descended gently toward the most ethereal Birch trees I have ever been accompanied by. I knew it was a special place, looked to my left and saw the unmarked trail toward the camp. I set some stuff down and decided to break my fast, when all of the sudden "Love You Dub" by Scientist began to play from my iPod in my backpack. I haven't told anybody this because of how special the moment is to me.
I let the iPod play on shuffle the whole way through the experience, with the most relative songs comin up I knew I had some friends with me. As I came through the old camp I met the snowmobile trail and saw a cool plane wreck, was guided by mathematical lichens toward the high peak south-entry trail but knew I should turn around as the sun would set soon.
Nearing where I came to the snowmobile path, I came to a complete state of insanity. I began speaking in tongues that were coming through me that I couldn't recite in my head even. I was watching the sky chanting on the arrival of Nibiru without knowing it at all. I was in a total Aum state. In my peripherals I could see large native men approaching, testing my comfortability and seeing how "down" I was. I apparently got approval to stay [was not spooked but warmly adjusted] and soon after fell to a squat, and with my hands out, pants & shoes off chanted & om'ed the Earth on. I approached a state of being covered in my own mucous [fasting, chanting, & a deep theta trance with psilocybin tea will bring physical crud right up and out for me.]
I now entered a realm of thought process that I find extremely hard to express without feeling like a mental patient. I first must say that I saw a great wheel passing trough the sky prior to my squat-position, which I screamed vigorously to claiming my potency as an honest, giving, caring spirit. This wheel, upon my squatting, was to me the arrival of the new life on Earth. Everything sped up so quickly, and I recalled how fast life has been going, and how shameful I have felt for not being in this state sooner. I became so complacent with my own state and the idea of this planet ending that I believed I had been sped up to a frequency high enough to have me move on right there & be reincarnated into a tree. I thought that all of the human race had been wiped out and I was invited to live right there in the Catskills with nothing but time, sun, nature beings, and soil to dig into.
The feeling of being dead terrified me at first, but the acceptance I felt from the trees as I became one of them was beautiful and noble to me.
This lasted realistically, probably forty minutes...maybe fifteen even, I don't know, it felt like 100 years to me. I grew with them. I was them. I communicated with them and gave thanks to the soil & animals & water that fed us. It was a state of pure complacency & openness, yet the fear of not being able to move or see my family again hardly lingered as a dewdrop on my meristem.
As I snapped out of it, I became ecstatic about being alive and having felt such an immense connection to Gaia and the Tree spirits. I thanked the land and proceeded to realize, holy shnikees, it's dark out!!!! The Mohawk trail was un-marked so I had no clue of how to get back in the dark & had to follow the snowmobile trail, I had no compass with me and was horrifyingly trustworthy in the Native spirits to guide me home safely. [The trail is a part of the Long Path, and leads to several other lookout points & peaks...I could have ended up stranded for the night with nothing but my backpack to sleep on.]
My sense of direction guided me safely back to the car, and my mind has not been the same since.
I plan to go back this fall to take pictures of things I physically saw up there, VERY amazing place. More fucked up than creepy, but I figured this story would feel right at home in this thread.
Thanks for reading & sharing You guys are awesome.

dude that's just fuckin weird, maybe this guy just really digs huffing paint, imagine what his fucking lungs look like... you ever spray painted something and noticed that sticky film on the ground below where you painted? That's ALL gotta be in his fucking lungs. Offer him some herb next time for the love of god, save that man. Either that or tell him to quit being a fucking creep and get out of the woods.

wtf? Does this man not have access to better drugs? Granted I've never huffed fucking paint.... I just can't imagine it being anything to write home about, let alone do for 14 years. And is this dude huffing it in front of fuckin city hall? How do you get caught that many times?

I don't think that was worded right,I meant there were more spray paint cans out there,than there probably is in all of walmart!They were old,so I'm thinking they were from last year when I saw him out there.I watched that whole video,and that was beyond sad.That guy looks almost identical to the guy I saw too,especially the ones with the paint all over the face,and beard!I can't imagine what that shit does to the lungs,and brain,and it seems like buying a dime of weed would be cheaper than buying bunches of cans of paint!I gotta wonder what kind of high that it brings for people to get addicted to it!
