Not much has frightened me here in Auss except the odd Possum or bat screeching, but one time I was in North Carolina in the USA at a friends place up in them there hills of the Appalachian Range ,and was binocular observing the northern sky all on my own at around eleven o'clock at night on the edge of a forest when I heard twigs breaking and grass rustling, I ran down the hill as fast as my legs would carry me,even falling over a couple of times,couldn't get into the house quick enough and lock the door.
Next morning went back to the place where I had been the night before and saw Large Bear paw prints all over the place
When I told my friend who I was staying with, he said quite nonchalantly
Oh yes there are plenty of bears round here
