My friend and I were at a week long camp last summer, and, wisely, had brought our copies of LotR with us. We had just finished reading "Shelob's Lair" and "The Choices of Master Samwise" when our group leader came and told us to turn off the flashlight and go to sleep. We decided to do just that, but first a stop at the restroom was in order.
The area of the campground where our group was was some distance away from the main camp, a narrow road connecting the two. Halfway between areas, the road went down into a hollow, from which no light from either camp could be seen.
The restrooms were up in the main camp.
My friend and I, with only a half-dead flashlight to light the way, had to walk down that road, and back, not being able to see anything on either side of us, and wondering if Shelob would be jumping out at us at any moment. The tree branches all looked eerily like spider webs, and every noise made us jump. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
Don't read "Shelob's Lair" or anything to do with Barrow-Wights or Nazgul while camping in the middle of nowhere...
