Have any of you ever been slightly spooked while flying alone? (And
are you prepared to admit to it?)


Spooked? Yes, but not in the way you mean. When the engine pulls
the usual "You're in the middle of nowhere, so I'm going to burp once
or twice just to get your attention", then yes I've asked ATC for
higher just in case :-)

When I was much younger and drove long lonely distances at night, I
used to sometimes get that creepy feeling that there was someone
(thing?) in the back seat. I can't imagine how bad that feeling would
be in an aircraft Fortunately, planes don't do that to me.
