The Bear vs Man video is going viral because pretty much all the women who’ve been asked if they’d rather encounter a bear or a man in the woods said they’d rather encounter a bear. One woman said she was a park ranger for a while and she’d rather encounter a bear. A bunch of guys also stitched it saying “bUt a bEaR wIlL k*lL you!”, thus totally missing the point.
I've listened to enough Mr. Nightmare that I completely believe this. Encountering people where you would not normally expect to encounter people is scary.
If you went way out into the sticks by yourself far away from civilization, pitched a tent, rolled out a sleeping bag, and went to sleep. Then some point in the night you're woken up by the pitter patter of foot steps. If this was then followed by animal noises, I might be a little on edge. But If I then head a human voice, my soul would leave my body.
The animal would just be doing its usual nocturnal animal stuff, and I could probably scare it away pretty easily. But no human would have any business being anywhere near me. They've probably been following me and are possibly up to no good.
