I didn't suffer from nyctohylophobia but if I did this would have been the time and place where I would have been reduced to a screaming pile of shot nerves on the forest floor.

Related to dendrophobia but less well known are hylophobia (fear of forests), nyctohylophobia (fear of dark wooded areas or forests at night) and xylophobia (fear of wooden objects).
