I was hiking today and all of a sudden everything got really quiet. As I continued to walk I felt unsettled like something was watching me. I didn’t see anything I just got the feeling. As I continued along this trail I noticed tons of dead trees, like more than normal for an area, there were trees barely hanging on by a limb attached to others, and what looked like death traps ready to fall from above on a distracted hiker. The whole time I was in this part I was afraid. It’s weird how a place can feel so unsettling. Nothing wanted to be there, I didn’t hear a single thing.

@PrestonJ I was frightened to say the least. I could smell him and I heard him snort a few times. I would stop and look, all was still and quite. I would start walking again and there the sound was again. I know it was stalking me, but I never saw it. I started slamming my walking stick hard into the ground with each step. I picked up my pace and was making as much noise as possible. It was scary. I now have 2 cans of bear spray that I hike with now.
But those trees looking like that are very dangerous to walk under.
@HappyCamper74 Are you VERY sure you know how to use "Bear Spray"? You DON'T spray it into their face!! Instead, spray it UNDER THEIR CHIN!!! Then they will inhale it and put them away from you!!
