America's Scariest Trails
Backpacker Magazine has compiled a fantastic list of the scariest trails that America has to offer. With Halloween approaching this weekend, I thought it would be fun to share them and hear what you have to say.
My favorite read of this article was the section, "Really, I saw it myself". The readers comments about their individual happenings got my heart racing and my imagination running wild! Now, I have the uncontrollable urge to go hiking in one of these haunted places, with a group of smart and strong men of course, with weapons and things. Who's with me?
Has anything scary ever happened to you while in the woods? I was camping in Yellowstone with my brother and his friends 10 freaking years ago, and a bear came through our campsite. Nothing happened but the thought of a brown bear roaming free in Yellowstone being inches away from me while I slept was pretty unnerving. And awesome.
* Thanks for sharing this, Anna!

yikes!
Nooo, no scary hiking trails for me! Just the idea of this is giving me the weebies!
No way I would ever go on one of those hikes. I'm much to scaredy cat for that. I haven't even been on any of the ghost tours here in town because I figure if I find out something truly freaky I still have to live here and I will have the heebie jeebies forever!
Nothing scary in the woods for me but once I came face to face with a young shark and his complete family, mom, dad, grandparents...they weren't interested in me at all but when I understood they were sharks and not just 'big fishes' I think I wet my pants. Thanks God I was underwater and nobody noticed.

p.s. the name of your blog is absolutely my favorite!
NPR always has great spooky tales this time of the year, especially on This American Life. I look forward to them every year!
Great reading material! I also always felt like I saw a person from the corner of my eye standing on a mountain top when hiking in Hell Creek Montana, I hope it's just from dehydration!
As long as Bort brings his Big Pink Hatchet, we'll be fine...
Anna, my thoughts exactly. That big pink hatchet is just the trick...
