There is this "livingness" in the american forests at night which keeps you perpetually on guard when out there. I've visited forests in Europe (Holland and Germany) and they didnt have the same feeling, despite objectively being g unfamiliar to me and having different scent/flora/fauna to what im accustomed.
It wasn't that they weren't spooky- woods at night is always spooky. It just didnt constantly feel like an apex predator might be in the area.
It's hard to describe.
