Creepy!
Smash Monkey asks: "what's the creepiest thing you've seen, heard or felt? What has sent shivers running up your spine and skidmarks running up your undercrackers? Tell us, we'll make it all better"

Shongweni
My first job was in a nature reserve. One night I was the only one in camp, looking after it until some other staff arrive at about 10pm. Now Shongweni is near Durban, where it gets dark at about 6pm every night, pitch black. I was the only person in that part of the reserve, a huge area. So this was in the sticks, no light and as such was impossible to see much bar the eyes looking back at you when you shined your torch into the bush (creepy in itself). What freaked me out good and proper was when I walked to my cabin, alone, I heard footsteps behind me. Not on the path, but slightly behind me to the right. In the bush. The steps were one behind, so if I stopped, they carried on one step. I could hear the dried leaves cracking and the bushes being slightly pushed apart. I still remember the feel of the sweat on the back of my neck cooling. I walked down the path for a good hundred metres, petrified, while someone stalked me.
I have never felt fear like that.

So...
what do you think it was? A person, animal or a ghostie? I'm being serious, not taking the piss.

Well, it has to have been someone.
I can only assume it was someone come up to maybe rob the camp, they would have had to walk 15kms through the bush to get there... But why follow me? That's the creepy bit...
