Speaking of kids and night fishing - My nephew was visiting us here in Bella Vista about 5 or 6 years ago, he was around 12 at the time.  It was in August and he wanted to bass fish, so we went over to one of the lakes in the evening.

If got dark, but the fish were biting so we kept fishing, he, in what I thought was kind of in a joking manner, said something about whether or not "Jason" might be out at night and would he come after us?  I laughed it off, and made some comment about we should keep an eye out for him and get the heck out of there if he showed up.

We fished down the bank a bit and came to a house that had no lights on, 2 story, a bit run down, kind of creepy looking at least in the eyes of a 12 year old.   Right then some kind of pump came on in or outside of that house and made some kind of periodic thumping noise.  My nephew asked "What is that?".  Not thinking too much about it, I said it might be Jason!

Well that freaked him out, he wanted to leave NOW.  So we left.  He was glad when we got back to the truck and were on our way.

He's getting close to 18 now, and I still like to tease him about the night Jason came after us.
