i can imagine how frightening that must have been for him , and I ' m sorry , but Im laughing my arse off at i just pooped on a crime scene . LOL . Brilliant ! <| sep |> Everyone assuming that if you ' re not American , then you ' re European . I ' m Australian . <| sep |> Not creepy or strange , but scary as hell . I was in my tent . The screen was closed , but the outer flap open so I could still look out over the lake . I was relaxing and reading when I heard rustling . Out walks a moose cow about twenty feet away . She ' s looking around , I believe she could smell me but she couldn ' t figure out where I was . Now there ' s no calf , and it isn ' t mating season , so I ' m not particularly worried at this point and figure if I just stay quiet she ' ll wander away . Then I heard the plane . Coming in low , and I couldn ' t tell which direction . She heard it , too . Now I have an issue . She ' s between me and the lake . She has three directions she ' s going to run in , and I happen to be in the path of one of them . I ' ve a one in three chance of being run over by a moose . The plane gets closer and louder and after what felt like forever comes in low just over head and scares the bejeesus out of both of us . Thankfully , it came from the left , sending her running the other direction , and I was safe . TLDR . I had a 1 in 3 chance of dying by moose trampling , 80 miles from the nearest town . Edit Thought of a ' creepy ' one . Same area , few years earlier , my brother and I were camping . First night it rained pretty well and I started hearing something hit my tent . It was random , and loud , and would not stop . I call over to my brother and he ' s hearing it , too . After awhile I got fed up and shined my light out . Nothing . Not a thing . The noise stopped while I was looking around , and I could not figure it out . A few moments later , after crawling back in the tent , it starts again . Thump against the tent , randomly . So this time my brother checks . And when he shines the light towards my tent , I see in silhouette the monstrous form . of a bullfrog . Frogs were coming out of the lake in droves . We had a laugh about what cowards we were and went to bed .
