Keyan said:I had not seen anything strange when I go out with my bike. I do remember though while I was riding a bus looking from the glass window. I thought I saw a bright circular while light hovering from my site. I was excited to take a closer look only to find out it was a light from a vehicle that is reflected on the glass window that was funny
I had a similar experience sitting on the bus once. I kept catching this guy looking at me, and at one point I thought to myself 'why is that ugly man staring at me??' ...yeah, the ugly staring man was actually my reflection. I'm a girl. I had just gotten a short hair cut and was wearing men's sunglasses but still...ouch haha.
While biking though...in certain areas where I cycle there are turkey vultures that live in the forest underbrush, and they get easily spooked when they hear people coming. The first time I was cycling at night with no streetlights and some squawking creature suddenly burst out of the dark forest directly into my path, I thought was going to have a heart attack! I'm used to them now but they still freak me out when I'm not expecting it.
I also used to live in a very rural area and getting into town meant riding a long, poorly maintained two-lane road through a heavily forested area. The creepiest experiences I've had haven't been what I've seen, but what I've heard. Sometimes I would be riding along late at night, with, again, no lights besides the blinking red ones I use for visibility, and I would hear something crashing along in the forest, pacing me.
This happened a fairly often and it never failed to creep me out. Whatever it was would keep up with me and I would hear it barreling through the forest alongside my bike the whole way into town or back. I know all sorts of animals that live in our woods, but I was never able to figure out what kind of animal would follow someone like that. My worst fears were always that it was a cougar, but I don't think a cougar would make that much noise, so it's a mystery.
