After that, I found a great respect for the woods. It is powerful like the ocean to me.

You don't learn to really respect nature until it almost kills you. Being lost, while not fatal directly, will get you thinking in that direction awfully quick and you realize just how little control you really have.
As for the original idea, when I was a kid I spent a LOT of time in the woods and I came to know them pretty well. Being spooked in the woods is pretty natural I think for a lot of reasons, but just observing and examining the areas makes that fear fade pretty fast.
I do have to wonder if we are more spooked in areas with dead trees etc as a evolved reaction to an unhealthy area.
