The woods are scary as hell, like you said daytime shows its character but beginning at dusk it may be the most terrifying place on the planet.
Where I live is surrounded by a cemetery and a church, I have to walk by another of each, by an unused school building, and and by fair amount of woods to get to work. I work at midnight most days, so just saying- you learn to deal with that creepy feeling quickly! For the most part anyway… It’s no fun to never be scared 😉
