I was doing a solo campout two autumns ago and I was being stalked by a black bear all night. I had setup camp in the afternoon and everything was going swimmingly until about 10pm. I heard loud walking through the woods toward me... could be a deer, could be a person. Thing is, there was no moon so it was pitch black so for it to be a person without a light was unlikely.
I stood up, yelled-out, swung my light around and a large black blob through the trees turned and hoof'd it away. I was pretty spooked but figured that was it. Well, it came back every 40mins or so, each time from a different direction. I didn't get a good look at it until the third or fourth iteration, it paused, stared at me, and slowly walked away again. I was sorta shitting myself by midnight or so.
Around 2am it came back for the last time, really aggresively. It was practically jogging through the woods toward me, crunching sticks and branches loudly. I turned on both my headlamp and maglight as bright as i could, grabbed my hatchet, and jetted all the way out of the woods in the darkness back to the house. It's about a 20min journey and no path so in the dark it's really easy to get lost. My heart was pounding. Left all my shit in the woods. Net day I went-out and everything was just as I left it. Fuuuck though. FUCK.
Pic is earlier that day, just because it's an image board afterall
