I go out in the woods at night all the time. Usually with friends, but sometimes alone. I've spent hours sitting alone on a rock or stump in the dark in the middle of a state/national forest while doing field recordings. I get thoroughly spoop'd on the reg. Sometimes multiple times per night. I camp alone a lot too but at least you have a fire an established "spot".
>>650819Do you live in Central MA? Recently we were walking through the woods in the middle of the night (like 1am), i had my headlamp on, and suddenly we noticed someone else down the path in the woods a ways ahead with a light moving around. We went toward the person a little bit and then we turned away and disappeared.
