Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started getting into solo camping, and there’s one thing I struggle with that feels a bit embarrassing to admit.

Whenever I’m alone in the woods, especially after dark, I sometimes get anxious about paranormal or supernatural things (ghosts, spirits, etc.). Logically I know there’s probably nothing there, but once it’s quiet and I’m by myself, my imagination goes into overdrive and every little sound makes me nervous.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you get over it? Are there any mental tricks, routines, or habits that helped you feel more comfortable camping alone at night?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Thanks!
