Not spoopy at all but most memorable camping experience.

This whole experience was a few months ago so I can recall almost all of the details
> we rent some backpacks, a tent, and some sleeping bags and decide to go "hiking" in New York
> in the finger lakes area and go to Letchworth state park
> we walk the finger lakes trail and it's breathtaking
I have never seen a gorge before so this is absolutely crazy for me
> we hike 8 miles in to our spot where we would set up camp
> Everything goes as planned and we boil ramen over a fire
> head off to sleep
> I just hear banging and branches snapping all around us
> I don't sleep at all and I hear what I thought was a man yelling in the distance
> I can't sleep because of the constant noise and my imagination scarring the shit out of me
> I have it in my head that there is a methed up homeless guy living like that primitive tools guy on YouTube
> I have it in my head that this homeless man wants my ass
Daybreak
> I get out of the tent and am scared shitless
> I turn around and investigate the site
> there are scratch marks on the tree that we put our food in
> I look back down the hill the campsite is on
>there's a black bear staring at me
Autism activates

This is why I can't do overnights anymore.
