I like wandering around cemeteries and graveyards, looking at the graves and thinking about the people beneath them, but while most graveyards are peaceful, there are exceptions. A couple of years ago, I visited an abandoned little medieval church in the middle of nowhere, which has an ancient graveyard surrounded by yew trees. I've been to dozens of similar old churchyards that are quaint, pretty and peaceful, but not this one - I felt physically sick walking around, couldn't stop looking over my shoulder and almost ran out of there! Nobody else was around and it was broad daylight, but what a weird vibe!

I spent a lot of my teenage years homeless. One night I decided to sleep out on this little island/recreational area that was is town. It had a really nice wooded area right next to the ocean, so I said "Why not? This is a relaxing place." So I found a nice little spot under some trees, curled up and went to sleep to the sound of the ocean. What I woke up to though was not at all peaceful. There was a lot of noise coming from the parking area down past the wooded lot where I was. I sat up, all bleary eyed and cautiously made my way down to where I could see what was happening without giving away my presence. The parking lot was full of police cars. There was an ambulance and a couple of unmarked vehicles. The wooded area on the opposite side of where I was was completely roped off and all the police focus was on that area of the woods. I slipped down to the beach and stayed out of sight until I could get around to the entrance of the park and just kind of meandered my way into the small crowd that had gathered. I asked what was happening and got the answer "Someone got murdered last night over in the woods". Apparently a couple of guys had gone to one of the many local bars, picked out a guy that was known for being openly homosexual and who at that time was extremely drunk. They asked if he wanted to go to a party and instead took him to the island and committed an unforgivable hate crime. I won't go into details. I did call one of the local police detectives that I knew and told him that I had been out there sleeping but hadn't heard anything at all. They did catch the assholes that killed the guy thankfully. But the whole thing haunted me for a long time. The fact that it happened so close to where I was sleeping, it still gives me chills when I think about it 30 years later.

We used to go drink or smoke joints there and I would go with my sketch pad and draw the gravestones. We would be careful to never disturb anything and its still a neat historical location to visit.

One time my friends and I held a seance in the ancient graveyard behind my house in the middle of the night. There's this trail on the top that goes into the woods and is great for hiking. Halfway through the seance we hear some bizarre cackling in the distance, and it's getting closer. We literally thought we summoned a group of evil witches and barreled down the hill, absolutely terrified. Later the subject of camping came up at some point and my mom went on one of her random tangents about how she remembers Coyotes at one campsite and how they sound exactly like a bunch of young women laughing hysterically, and I realized that's exactly what we had heard that night at the graveyard. We had summoned coyotes, not witches, and if you're a bunch of thirteen year olds it's not much better.

I am now completely convinced that hiking and camping in the wilderness is way more dangerous than I can handle. So many missing people

[@mandiespringer7340]

It's not a really common thing. I've been hiking and camping my whole life and know nobody who went missing. It happens sure but you're way more likely to get in a car accident on the way there then go missing 😜

[@russia1305]

I tell this to everyone but just be more alert and youll be fine its a good general rule of thumb to never be oblivious to your surroundings

[@AlessandroGenTLe]

It depends where you go, how do you prepare yourself, and how do you know the territory. Plus you really need to consider how far out of civilization you want to go: in Canada or USA or Russia (and other places too) the wilderness is so vast that you can seriously get lost and die alone... Oh, and also important is how updated are your maps: I've been hiking since 12yo within Scout group here in Italy, and once they proposed us (16yo) if we wanted to do a 24h hike alone (eventually in couple for the girls that were scared) in the Alps. Problem was the maps were from IT-army and dated back to 1965 (and we were in 1990), so there was a bifurcation on the path that wasn't on the map... I knew looking at the map that I had to take the right path at the 1st bifurcation... Problem is that what on the map was the 1st bif. on the real path was the 2nd... So I took the wrong one and found myself, alone, at the very top of a mountain were the path ended and the only way to go down was either go back (but I hat to go back...) or proceed "by azimut" (read: straight into a steep slope with no path continuing into my direction). I did it, and checking the mountains around me and the map, I understood I was actually walking OUT from the area covered by the map. Luckily Alps aren't so huge and uninhabited like a lot of places in USA and by going down I would have met a road sooner or later. I met first a forest ranger to whom I showed my map and where I was coming from and he was like "Did you come down from THERE???" and then indicated me how to move on to reach a paved road that in the end brought me back to my base camp around midnight :)

( I was like 16 at the time) and he looked at me and said No, son you don't want to ever smell that smell its so terrible it makes you want to vomit and it stays with you for days and you will never ever forget what burning human flesh smells like and I could see him get visibly upset so I dropped it and didn't ask any more.

This is truly one of the most terrifying true stories I've ever heard in my life; and I've been following true crime and mysteries since I was definitely way too young. My mom used to tell me every true crime case she read about, in vivid detail--which contributed to my horrible anxiety well into adulthood, I'm sure. She'd really wanted to become a criminal profiler or criminologist, but stayed home to raise us instead. I actually majored in Criminal Justice for a while in college, before I realized that I was way too sensitive for that line of work. I would never be able to look at crime scene photos or videos, and just reading about some, actually makes me physically ill. My interest is in the psychology behind criminals. How can a person murder, torture, sexually assault, dismember, another human being and feel no remorse about their actions? How does one lack the natural human instinct to protect and help others? Why do some people actually ENJOY doing things that would cause disgust, sorrow, grief, and horror in the brain of a normal person? It's all just so baffling to me.

Killers are worrisome enough. But what REALLY makes me worried is that I figure for every person who does it, there must be, like, a hundred who are borderline capable of doing it.
