Im never too bothered about noises and the like during the night. I have the same mind set as Brian where most things have a logical explanation. On an overnight fishing trip when i was younger i was woken by a sniffing noise just outside my bivvy. This noise was followed by scratching. At the time i nearly filled my pants and grabbed my fishing knife, but didnt dare get out. The noise soon stopped and after a while i managed to get back to sleep. In the morning i got out the bivvy to go for a piss, walking back i noticed a shallow hole in the ground just inches from my bivvy. I still had no idea what the noise was or where the hole come from until i met a passing nature watcher who told me the place was full of badgers! Probably best i didnt get out the bivvy then . My girlfriend is constantly seeing strange things in the room at night, people standing at the end of the bed ect. so the ghost storys never bother me now. It appears i share a room with the ghosts most nights and they havent bitten me yet lol

Cant say i have encountered any spooky goings on while fishing, but a rather scary session was fishing a local pool in strong winds. I was woken by a run at around 5am, i jumped out the bivvy and tripped over a huge branch that had fallen literally 2 foot away from me . I was suddenly aware of the fact i would have been crushed to death if it had hit me. I still have no idea why i never was woken by the sound of it falling, when anglers 50 yards away heard it come down! But i still manage to wake when my alarm sounds lol.
