Bad Vibes

[teenagegunwacho]

Has anybody else ever felt "bad vibes"
"HeebeeJeebees" etc while on a treck in the woods

[genwinters]

each time i get them, it is almost always right. one time i was in the woods by myself kinda just walking through to relax and every little bit i would hear twigs snapping like 30ft behind me. I just tried to stay tuned to it and keep going like i didnt notice whatever or whoever was behind me. i am not going to lie i was scared haha. I just got out of the woods and back into the house and that was the end of that.

I get alot of bad vibes off people. my instincts saying stay away

I've gotton bad vibes when it comes to spending money for something.
The thoughts of if I buy this is something going to happen to it or do I really need or want it.
In the woods I haven't had bad vibes but here lately due to some of the threads here I now wonder if I've ever been stalked or watched by...I'll say a Coyote, Bear, a person or a Big Foot LOL or somrthing. I threw in Big Foot for Humor LOL ! And what the heck
What if you were to walk up on a U.F.O. ? LOL...A.H

[Momoney567]

Mhmm.
All the time.
And then i freak out and i get off the trail and get msyelf lost because i hear a squirrel jumping through trees and convince myself there's a bear chasing me.

i wanted to see what a few others had to say before i posted something

within walking distance of my house bordering our land is a swamp. every time i go back there by myself i feel.......odd recently the owner bushoged some roads through there. it was scary before but now its creepy as all get out. im not sure but i think there might be a Native American cemetary back there. once ,before he bushoged i went back there squriel huntin and didn't get 200 yards and i turned back. back in the fall , after he bushogged i went back there and the wierdest thing happened, crows started flying around and i felt like i was in some twisted horror movie, and no i was not on any drugs, but for some reason i wanted to get out. if i remember correctly i was back at the house skinning a squriel before dark.

Some places are just like that.
Make you wanna run and never look back.
Not the best places to find yourself in after dark.

As Men do we ever get away from haveing fears like we had when we were children ?
Most of my fears revolve around my family such as worrying when one goes off in a car or just worrying in general.

I confess I have a heighten alertness in the woods when it's dark and I'm sure most of us do.

You need to go camp out in that swamp and get over your fears because how often do you read where someone has been beat to death by Indain Ghost or killed by a animal.
The latter one has happened but not very often...Nothing is going to grab you.LOL.
A.H

EDIT I would always carry a gun though LOL

I use to get the creepy crawlers every now and then when we stay out in the swamps. I think the biggest problem was some of the guys would bring dogs the dogs would run around and now and again you would here a big splash and no more dog. Gator had dinner. So when you would hear something in the brush along the bank it was time to grab your holster. LOL

[teenagegunwacho]

i may do that but i would have to camp about 40-50 yards from the entrance because i dont have the permission to camp on it

When you live in the Wilderness like I do, your natural senses become more aware of your surroundings. The hair on the back of my neck stands up whenever there is a Bear nearby...I don't know if it is because my nose detects an odor and triggers my brain to respond or what.
It just happens...Kinda weird really, but it sure has saved my Butt..

That impending sense of danger is your brains way of setting your body into the "fight or flee" mode. It heightens our senses, and gets us revved up. An adrenalin thing don't you know! We also dream, in part, for the same reason. Also, I do believe that there are things at work in nature that trigger this response. It's why we moved into caves! Too many things going bump in the woods...

[ArkansasHunter]

I think a lot of our fears come from what weve watched at the movies and on televishion.
My only Grandfather, My Dad, Uncles were not scard of anything and would charge right into the woods with a weak flash light.
My Step Fathers the same way, they don't have all that chit in there heads that we do to cause us to think Chucky is going to step out from behind a tree and .........

AT MY MOTHER IN LAWS

[Cyrano]

It doesn't happen often, but I've learned to pay attention to bad vibes. I've been to estate sales where bad things (assaults, murders) have happened in the house to the former owners, where the house felt as malevolent as the house in The Amityville Horror is alleged to feel. No matter what may be for sale there, I will seldom stay long in such a place. Call me silly, but if you can feel the badness, you have to consider it may attach to possessions as well as the house.

I can recall when the wife and I were house-hunting, the realtor showed us one house where the vibe was so bad, I was ready to walk out the moment we walked in. She felt it too, and we were in that house less than 3 minutes. We asked the realtor what the story was. He hemmed and hawed a bit but finally came clean. It was a murder-suicide stemming out of an abusive relationship. We could not get away from that place fast enough!

Science may not be able to come up with the kind of instruments Hollywood faked up for Ghostbusters, and therefore allege that the paranormal is all malarkey because they can't quantify and measure it; but if you ever get that 'bad vibes' feeling, be it the hair standing up on the back of your neck, sweat starting for no apparent reason, skin crawling, general feeling of creepiness, whatever, pay attention. It may be that one of those parts of the brain that the neuroscientists cannot define a function for is trying to tell you something that may save your hide.

We were out in a canoe when the sun was going down. Completely unintentionally, and couldn't wait to get out. Then we heard this very painful animal scream that we were pretty sure was some poor critter becoming dinner to another critter. Prodded me over the line into getting a Taurus Judge revolver for the not so big but still not so safe critters out there.

[Big Faulky]

i get'em sometimes, brothers do too. we grew up with my dad telling us about the boogey-man and ufo's. i dont get scared i just get a chill ever now and then. i am not scared of any critters here in tx, respect them yes. i believe its all in my head.

To be blunt the Heebie jeebie feelings you are refering to are as some have pointed out here, subliminal messages your mind has received and then transmitted to you as DANGER. I've stomped about this ol world of ours for a half century, most of the time armed and either in harms way or pursuing fish and game and I've found it is beyond wise to pay attention to those feelings. While it may be nothing more than an unsettled spirit that triggers it, it very well could be something far more dangerous. Those that have experienced combat and those who spend a great deal of time in the wilderness know exactly what I am talking about. Fear unfounded can be a crippling thing, however a sense that something isn't quite right, perhaps even the screaming chill along your spine that all isn't as it appears Should always be listened to. That tactic has saved many a Cop and Hunter as well!

As a kid we pitched a tent in the summer in the deepest part of the woods outside our small town. We spent many a night there and occasionally I spent the night alone. I was never afraid in the darkest of nights out there. I enjoyed the sounds and solitude and the dense cover of stars that shown straight up from our campsite. Only fear I had was spooking a skunk walking in and out of the woods while it was dark. Just had to be sure to walk a little on the noisy side so as not to come up on them quick. I will admit that hearing a bobcat scream in the dark would make you sit up a little straighter but even that was a neat sound to hear out in the dark timber. Even now walking along the creek in the dark chasing after the bank poles is still fun. Just gotta be sure not to get a branch in the eye!

I have been "creeped out" a few times out in the woods, especially right at dusk, when everything gets real quiet, and the sun begins to sink behind the hills. But I agree with what AH said, Hollywood has given us a lot of monsters to hide in the dark. Heck, I know a guy who is a horror movie fanatic, and he sleeps with the lights on. There is really nothing to fear out in the woods, except getting lost! but that's a different thread.

i got bad vibes all the time when i was a police officer
