The Most Frightful Stories of Nature From the Campers and Hikers Who Lived Them

12. The Dark Truth

I went camping in Ginnie Springs in Florida about 10 years ago. Sometime at night, I heard that sound you hear in movies of a huge tree falling. Didn’t think anything of it. About 10 minutes later, I started hearing lots of people talking outside my tent, so I got out—and discovered the dark truth. The tree fell on someone’s tent and killed them. A helicopter had to come and airlift them out.
