When I lived out with my parents (the middle of nowhere, basically), I lived in fear of being eaten by a bear or a mountain lion while I slept. Basis in fact? Yes. When my trailer had a door (the bear ripped that to shreds; a piece of plywood now sits there) a bear had broken in. Twice. So it was a possibility. And the mountain lions? I've always had a slight fear of them.
