Creepiest thing ever was I was once hiking solo uphill in the fall and I could hear footsteps behind me in the leaves. I turn back and nothing.

I keep walking for a bit and I hear it, it's following me, but nothing every time I turned around. I start speeding up, it's uphill so I can't really run but my heart was racing and I was terrified.

After a few more steps I realized as I stepped on fallen tree branches under the leaves, the other end of the branch behind me would "lift" so I'd hear the leaves behind me go up. It was me, it was my own footsteps.

Yeah my friend heard noises while hiking in the woods. It was a bear, tracking them.

(But in Europe so I think they're less attacky?)

The European ones are less attacky b/c they don't have the right to bear arms.

But if they somehow manage to get up on their hind legs, watch out!
