Fishing one park lake once, me and a mate were both fishing in a swim near the car park, mainly to keep an eye on the car. On the second night a red van pulls up at about 2.30am without lights, waits in the car park until another blue van pulls up about about 10 minitues later. They could not see us but we could see them and they started taking things out of one van and loading them into the other. Then they both drive off... anyway about 2 hours later just after first light the police turn up and come over and say there had been an armed robbery on the local garage that night, and they were looking for the owner of a blue van which they had found burned out about 1/2 mile up the road. 
Thank god they didnt see us, dread to think what they would have done.
Also on the same park lake, a guy I know was fishing with his younger brother - about 3am the police turn up, helicopters everything, with its spotlight right on the bivvy.. few minutes an armed police unit turned up at the bivvy and ordered them out etc. when they relised they were just fishing, they informed them that an escaped mental patient from a local medial unit had gone an stabbed someone, and he had fled in the direction on the lake. My mate said he has never been so scared, goes without saying they packed up, never to return. Was in the local papers and everything.

3 years back i see the beast of essex. while night fishing on my own. i didn't fish that place again for a long while. as for the story of the mental patient. that is not scary. the scary thing is they never let the public know unless they have to. so loads of them get out but we are never told about it.

many years ago i used to fish a suffolk lake doing days and nights. like any other lake this one had the named swims.. gas bottle, the royal box, the lawn ,rat nest etc. one however was notorious. it was called NITEMARE........
most of my mates had fished it at one time or another and each had had a weird nite to say the least. i was cynical and doubtful until i fished it.
i had what can only be described as a hideous nite of scary dreams. from what i can remember (age dimming my memory ) it involved babies and blood among other things
needles to say i NEVER fished that swim again
and just recently i was doing a nite on my club lake where i had troves of rats all around . i watchd the small ones picking up the remnants of my spodded pellet until i hit the sack. every once in a while one of them ventured round the back of the bivvy snuffling around, this i could tolerate, but i drew the line at one of the buggers using the back of the bivvy as a trampoline!! behind me was a sloping bank and it had launched itself onto my roof. the sound of THUD RUSTLE RUSTLE was more annoying than anything else but it got a brief lesson on flying from yours truly within!

I've had a few strange experiances fishing Olton Mere in solihull, 20 Odd Acre Mere with woodland and railway behind you,
The lake was dug by French Prisoners and is meant to be a grave for quite a few of them.
Its also dug in the grounds of an old monastery, which borders the lake on one side, some night its lit up and resembles draculars castle, however, on others when your along in the dark its much worse.
The number of times i've heard what sounds like wet feet walking past in the middle of the night
