Scary things encountered

bout 20 years ago was tent camping in a state campground, was with 2 young daughters who were sleeping, I heard footsteps while laying in the tent, then I heard a noise like someone was urinating next to the tent, all I had was a hand axe and it was in my hand for anyone who touched that tent. Kinda rattled me.

Years ago while on a camping trip in the Boundary Waters, I woke up one morning to screams and shouts from my fellow campers. I got out of my tent just as a 6' bear lumbered right past me. Our food packs were hung 15' up in the air between two trees about ten feet apart at one end of the camp. The bear and his friend climbed up the adjoining trees and reached over and effortlessly disemboweled the packs with one swipe of their paws, spilling the contents onto the ground. Then they climbed back down and leisurely ate their fill, oblivious to us as we watched. We were mesmerized. When they were done they walked right between us out of the camp and back to the woods. We had to go home early.

No doubt it was Yogi and Booboo on vacation

Are you sure it was a cow and not Bigfoot attacking your RV?

We were camping in a PU at Land Between the Lakes in the early 1980s. I heard some pattering of little feet behind me as I came back from the restroom. Upon turning around I saw two of the biggest skunks ever following me. I started running and they chased me around the PU three times before my wife opened the door and I dove in. I still laugh about that night.

Early in May I just bought my new trailer in Topeka and was going back to California. In south western Kansas high gusty winds drove me off the highway. I found a nearby State Park and discovered I was one of only two trailers in the entire park. The whole day and evening I never saw anyone near the other trailer. To quote an opening line "it was a dark and stormy night" and around 3 am I woke to what sounded like a bunch of barefoot leprechauns bowling on my roof. I looked over at the dog and she had her hair up and was staring at the roof. I peeked out the window but all I could see was rain and lightening flashes. I went back to bed staring at the ceiling and wondering about that "deserted" trailer up the hill. The noises stopped after about a half hour. I was too scared to go out and take a look until daylight. I looked around my site and couldn't see anything in the wet dirt, but there was mud on the rungs of my ladder. I climbed the ladder and looked over the roof...muddy raccoon prints all over the place.
