Phil: I thought there was someone up to no good hiding in the woods and at this point the dog is back up and away from where he is looking. I took a few more paces and the dog spun round to look in the area we had just come from and I couldn't see anything. It was completely black. I couldn't see the trees, no bushes or the white path. It was pitch black and you couldn't see into it. As if someone had dropped a sack cloth in front of my face. It really unnerved me and I thought WTF is going on?? I turned for home and as I did I heard something skid on the path behind me in the blackness. I was having none of it so I looked around and I couldn't see anyone. I unleashed the dog and got his lead and heavy chain in one hand and the small axe in the other. Hearing that skid and the weight in it I thought it was going to be a huge fella or a couple of them. As I let the dog off to help he spins round and bolts for home. This is not how he would normally behave. That scared me even more. He left me standing there, alone in the darkness.So I grabbed and spun the lead in the direction of the darkness and I hit nothing, the chain hit my leg. I just started backing up, looking the way I had come and hoping I could make it back into one of the patches of light left by the moon. I thought to myself, if I did a few backwards paces and then just suddenly spin and run I would catch them out and I would make it into the light. As I spun I heard "THUD."
