Welcome to our Channel today we’re delving into the Eerie and unexplained as we hear from Rangers hunters and outdoor adventurers sharing their spine chilling experiences in the woods don’t forget to subscribe for more thrilling stories from The Great [Music] Outdoors my mom and I grew up in a very small academic community in rural New Brunswick Canada outside of monton the settlement is Notre Dame that was mostly Woods anyway if you didn’t no cougars plumis mountain lions AKA Eastern cougars are extinct in my area of Eastern Canada but many people in my community could beg to differ most of these are not my experiences but they’re all true anyway first was my mom when she was a teenager she was getting out of the car and going to the house at night when she heard An Extremely Loud cat Roar growl or sound it was much louder than any Bobcat lynx cat and so on and she saw a very large black cat move in the dark this was probably in the 80s or ’90s next is my aunt she lived about 5 minutes away her house was very wooded anyway she has seen a tan cougar larger than any other feline in the maritimes when she went out she found the Paw Prince and took a picture they were not Bears lynxes or Bobcats none of that [ __ ] 100% cougar she saw it again a second time this was within my lifetime I am 17 and was born in 2002 I was around 10 third was my nextd door neighbor it was Dusk and she was outside and she saw across the road that there is a vastly wooded area with an extremely Steep Hill that leads to the river along the road she saw a black panther not a bear or anything definitely that she had seen it twice or so this was within my lifetime as well I was probably a baby when it happened the last person I knew was my cousin my parents brother cousins uncles and I all lived with my nan at one point and while it was just my uncle cousins and Nan my little cousin who was around 12 was outside taking her Chihuahua out to do her business and she heard the same growl my mom did like the Cougars you hear in movies and she saw a tan cougar in the long grass behind our house she freaked out and ran inside my experience was that I was playing around the river and found large animal bones and extremely cat-like paw prince in the sand and dirt along the river another of mine was when my friend and I got in the woods connected to the trail either right before winter or right after we heard those big cat growls and saw a tan body in the bushes we then ended up in a neighbor’s yard in the next town over St Antoine after we made it out of the dense and large Woods the craziest part my nan had a news article from back in the day saying that a circus train crashed in the area and there were animals on it want to know which ones cougars I think there is a black one and a tan one the majority of the animals especially the Cougars were survivors and were never searched for as it was most most likely too much of a hassle my theory is that the black cougar that escaped may have bred with any Cougars in the area the last sighting I heard was of my cousins that’s the end thanks so me and my roommate are the opposite people she is smart very fit nice and vegan I’m stupid I eat pizza almost every night I have anger issues and I love bacon I couldn’t run for my life sadly that’s what I needed to do in my situation it was around winter and my roommate I’ll call her chel as I don’t want to tell you her identity so chel tells me it will be fun to get out of our dorm every now and again so she forced me on this walk we had a day where we didn’t have that many classes so she said let’s go for a stroll in the woods me being very annoyed and reluctant I argued back at her saying walking was useless finally I went by the time we got there it was dark I was explaining the plot of FNAF when we heard a scream CH started running to help I stood Frozen in the dark just waiting in line till she came came back she did not I waited for about half an hour we both didn’t have our phones because she wanted us to connect I started walking back to the dorm as I knew she would win any fight and I was too tired to help in the morning she wasn’t back so I told everybody the story and we all went back I was being called lazy and a horrible person for leaving my roommate there was a search and we finally found her she was curled up next to a very badly wounded person apparently there was a thing who attempted to kill this guy and saw my roommate and ran chel stayed by the person all night telling them about the college and how everything was going to be all right the guy kept saying that my roommate was the murderer I still don’t know what happened me and my best friend were going hunting for the fifth time I think together we’re in our 18th hour and it is like 10 or 11:00 p.m. and we had hunted about 14 deer and we’re going to an open field with few trees so halfway there I start seeing dead deer that were just lying on the ground so luckily I decided to take my 12 gauge with me and case animals attack me the first deer I saw had its body cut in half but when we inspected there were no organs or flesh inside so we thought they were wolves or foxes that had killed it so we stayed very alert the next thing I walked not even 500 ft from that I started seeing more and more dead deer we originally thought it was wolves or foxes but then here’s where things got crazy I see deer with the body cut open like a rug or something and covered in blood next thing I saw a deer with its head open and half of the brain was out and skull fragments were around now we thought it was Hunters who forgot their hunt but when we go further we start seeing deer and unimaginable poses or places they were on top of not too high around 10 ft branches so we turned back we hear a stampede and decide to do a quick hunt I just see a dark figure moving very quickly and hunting them quickly now when we shot it my friend said the shot was hit he had the better thermal scope but still no effect so when we shoot it again it turns starts moving to us I get my shotgun and shoot it then it disappears I got scared so we saw the deer and did the same thing missing brains and organs so we decided to immediately turn back I never forgot this it scared the [ __ ] out of me I went on a 4-day three- night hiking trip with my father sister and a couple cousins out in Glacier National Park last night there we camped at no name Lake we hiked the Dawson pamic and pass Loop counterclockwise we finally reached Camp late that day just before dark and you could still see the white mountain goats walking along the razor edge of the Steep pimpell pillar P PE if you’ve been to No Name Lake you know what I’m talking about I thought it was incredible how the goats were able to keep their balance walking along a sheer Cliff like this but it was really cool to watch we finally settle in and I end up passing out pretty early well before 8:00 p.m. at around 130 to 2 a.m. dead in the middle of the night I am suddenly woken up incredibly confused by what I thought were gunshots pop pop pop pop very loud and repetitive you could imagine my confusion as there is no good reason for these sounds coming from that direction it happened for about 30 to 40 seconds then stopped as quickly as it started the only thing I could think of was that it was the mountain goats walking and knocking down big pieces of shell as the side of the cliff was all rock and Shale or maybe a rock slide but these pieces would have had to have fallen on each other perfectly in order to make these sounds the oddest thing was that no one else in my party heard them and the the other couple camping there didn’t hear them either I told the story the following morning and got some funny looks as you could imagine I live in an area where we have quite a lot of forests and farmland one night me my brother and my dad were driving to his house for my mom’s in his truck in an area where it was thick Woods on one side of the road and on the other side a thin tree line then a field we were just listening to the local rock station and talking when my dad yelled dear and slammed on the brakes and stopped a few feet ahead of it it just stood there and looked at us and when we looked at it we realized it wasn’t a deer it had the body of a large dog antlers the Hooves of a cow and a misshapen almost human face its legs were hairless red and covered in sores my dad said what the [ __ ] and we all just kept looking at it and after standing there for a few more seconds it ran into the woods I’ve never seen anything like it again and we never talk about it I had forgotten about it until I saw it in a dream last night and the memories of that just came rushing back I was in my 20s and about to backpack overseas for a while so my best friend and I decided to have a little farewell camping trip we lived in Flagstaff Arizona and she told me about this free Creekside camping spot she found it ended up being just right next to this abandoned New Age Retreat where a lot of people died in their sweat lodge but shockingly that has nothing to do with what happened just added creepiness I guess we drive up to the site and of the six slightly spaced out camping sites they are all occupied one site had a tent set up but no car around it which in retrospect was possibly a red flag seeing as this area wasn’t a walkable place where you just cruise around on foot it was off of a highway anyway we are already there and it’s evening time so we decide to just make our own little sight in between the noar camp and the one further down we were only in one small tent with two small dogs and we figured we didn’t take up much space anyway as we are unwinding we start having some drinks bad idea and make a little fire to cook hot dogs on I can’t can’t help but take notice of the campsite without the car just distant enough to now see a man in his early 40s behaving strangely he looks over at us a lot at one point he’s just standing still in the middle of the creek staring at something for long periods taking his tent down putting it back up clanking pans together Behavior very similar to someone who’s high on meth or dealing with some sort of mental illness I started getting this really bad feeling as it becomes totally dark we are by the fire when I hear someone approach us it’s the guy my parents pug was with us he’s incredibly friendly to everyone and at this moment he hit under my car something I’ve never seen him do the man begins talking to us and my completely non street smart friend invites him to sit down by the fire with us I know what on Earth was she thinking as he began talking to us I almost immediately knew he was out of whack as he described the endless gold pyramids that were located across the creek the gold skulls and just weird [ __ ] he mentioned how his sister got a boyfriend in Oregon who kicked him out and he was now homeless he then mentioned in this really uncomfortable tone that he saw us two beautiful girls and couldn’t stop wondering what we were up to that was when I immediately noed and abruptly told him okay well you can head back to your camp now have a great night and he got up and walked back over I immediately told my friend who was still so oblivious that we were unsafe and we had two options risk getting a DUI leave our stuff behind and get somewhere safe or get her boyfriend here ASAP she called her boyfriend and he agreed to drive straight to us 45 minutes during the 45 minutes of waiting for him which felt like an eternity I clutched my knife and his weird Behavior continued pacing non-stop clanking rocks together jumping in the creek screaming at something to get away from him total delusional manic behavior her boyfriend finally arrived but the fun didn’t stop boyfriend had Oregon license plates which is relevant with some relief from having an extra person with us we tried to relax and have a somewhat decent farewell Camp trip until the guy came back again but this time his tone was completely different when his boyfriend introduced himself a scary guy wouldn’t shake his hand he had this you encroached on my property type of vibe he left and then wandered back two separate times each time with some weird delusion the first time he was going on the boyfriend stole his cigarettes and mentioned his car in Oregon then I started piecing together that somehow in his delusion he was beginning to think that the boyfriend was the guy that kicked him out of Oregon we tried to deescalate and decided to go to bed hoping he would just forget about us and do the same as if people on drugs go to sleep lol Anyway my friend and her boyfriend passed out immediately and I proceeded to lay away the entire night clutching my knife he paced around our tent multiple times that night at one point just as a horror film begins I saw his shadow against the wall of the tent lit by the moon you know just fun things you see moments before you die he rummaged through our stuff at one point and drank all our beer somehow we survived the night and I could no longer hear him as the sun was Rising we got the heck out of there as early as we could about a year later I went back why with a group of people to the same camp area and just around where we camped that one time was an abandoned tent just in a pile a bottle of holy water a crystal and a book about horse training jotted with pages of notes and ramblings maybe his maybe this place was haunted heck Ike but I’m glad he didn’t murder us a few years ago when I was training for a century ride I was about 10 mi into the ride when I stopped to hydrate I stopped just as I was entering an area where there had been at least one significant Bigfoot sighting some years before while stopped I began to notice the sound of heavy breathing the wind was very gentle that day and in any case it didn’t blow rhythmically I looked to my left in the direction it seemed to be coming from but couldn’t spot anything after a minute or so I did a u-turn on the trail and decided I had gone far enough on that ride I wasn’t really scared by what had happened but I was certainly unnerved having followed stories of Bigfoot and other RDS over the years so I have lived in northern Minnesota my entire life I grew up in a house about an hour away from my Tas State Park if anyone is familiar with the area it’s pretty heavily wooded and gets extremely cold during the winter here I now live farther north but I digress one year we were having a bonfire my brother and Mom were outside with me about to turn in for the night we had pretty dense woods around our house about 30 yards away on either side we heard some branches snapping and rustling in in the woods close to the edge we got kind of freaked out after making noise and it didn’t stop and ran up to the porch my mom was on the top step by the door and my brother and I were on the ground we turned around looking for the source of the noise and something weird happened we heard what sounded like a bull huffing and a loud growl and then a huge crashing noise whatever it was it broke a dead tree we tried tipping and breaking it several times but this thing was solid my brother and I shoved my mom out of the way and sprinted inside she still brings up how we left her to die my dad said it was a bear but I’ve never heard a bear move through a brush so loud and I’ve never heard a black bear make that noise it was Bigfoot changed my mind a few years ago I was on a boat with my grandparents up in Northern georan Bay when I woke up in the middle of the night to a thunderstorm I grabbed my light and headed up from the cabin to go sit up top because I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep with all of the Thunder my grandpa was already sitting up top when I arrived so I sat down beside him and we both just kind of listened to the storm in silence for a while and then we noticed something strange there was a light coming from one of the islands like a flashlight sort of pointed towards our boat now it could have been campers but there was no boat on our side of the island there was no way to get onto the island from the other sides as it was too steep on the other side of the island and it wasn’t other boers as it was around 4:00 a.m. and we were the only people anchored in the bay the light stayed fixed on us for a few minutes before flickering out as though the light had run out of batteries and we didn’t see anything like again needless to say both I and my grandpa were rather unnerved I grew up in the small town of Nova Scotia which was founded in the mid 1700s has a very small population and is surrounded by Woods next to the ocean all three of my scary wood stories happened there despite me moving three times both in the woods once when I was in my teens I was walking paths through the woods with a friend these paths are on the grounds of where an old Asylum used to be the Asylum was named the poorest Farm farm and was established in 1887 while we were walking we noticed there was an opening with a very small gap between the long grass and the tree line we had the urge to go down it and see if maybe there would be a view of the ocean we got to the end and just started waking through the woods when we came across some very old wooden crosses in the ground there was no path leading to it just a random opening we happened to find we both got a really uneasy feeling and I felt someone was watching me though it was probably just my paranoia so we turned around and left we always knew there were people buried in the Asylum but we assumed they were all in the cemetery you see when you first enter the paths the second was around the same area years before that I was about 12 22 now and me and my best friend would go biking just about every day and always go to this spot we call the Rocks just a big weird black rock formation on the water to get to the Rocks you had to go on a path behind the old playground the path forked off in a lot of places and a few times we would take a wrong turn but always ended up around the same spot one day when we took one of the wrong turns we came across what looked to be a very small Cemetery with two or three tombstones we were too afraid to take a closer look so we just kept going down the path which after a few minutes of going through the woods opened up to a view of the ocean as we came through the opening we both stopped dead in our tracks there was a man I’m bad with distances and this was 10 plus years ago maybe 100 m in front of us he was staring right at us as if he knew we were going to be coming and was wearing a top Pat and a fancy suit with the long back flaps that could only be described as clothing from the early 1900s without a word we both turned around and took off running dragging our bikes along with us we couldn’t ride them through the paths due to tree roots everywhere when we finally reached the playground we both collapsed and we’re all did you see that I basically sat there in hysteria for a while I’ve always tried to brush this off as two pre-teens riding off each other’s imaginations and overexaggerating the whole thing but to this day it still gives me chills thinking about it and the fact we both saw the same thing the third was more recent years probably around 18 years old me and some friends decided to try me at the house of the same friend from The Last Story we decided to go for a walk to meet up with her cousin there was a group of four of us all girls we were coming down a street with no houses besides one at the very end as we got close to it I looked up and suddenly something on the front porch moved me and one of my friends both stopped which caused the others to as well and I asked if she had seen it to which replied yes of course thanks to the drugs we had taken the thing took many different forms in my mind before I realized what it actually was it turned its head and we all at the same time whispered something along the lines of it’s a huge cat one of my friends started screaming to call the cops which we all objected too what’s a cop going to do after a 15-minute drive to use not to mention we were high as kites we all stand there contemplating what to do with this big cat looking at us it crouches down like a house cat would before attacking I tell my friends we need need to back up slowly until we get around the bend and then run we do this and as we’re running I start throwing up from the fear while running as fast as I can and collapse on someone’s lawn the lawn happened to have kids baseballs laying around and my friends picked them up ready to fight the creature that never came we got picked up and spent the whole night trying to figure out what kind of cat it could be since we don’t usually have big cats around here I think we settled on a links though honestly to this day I’m not completely sure that’s what it was most of our friends don’t even leave us I had just moved into my apartment it is not a rural place by any means it’s actually located near the beach on a busy street one of the first nights I was here I was in my kitchen and heard screaming it was definitely some kind of animal but I have no idea what it was I went outside to investigate it and in the woods behind my apartment on a very Steep Hill I still hear this horrific screaming and the trampling of leaves like whatever it is is running away in fear I continue watching and I see a [ __ ] flashlight following right behind it it was terrifying I have no idea what happened or who the crazy person was who was chasing it my roommate and I were going duck hunting in the up of Michigan and got turned around in a tag Alder swamp on our way to our blind at 4:00 a.m. we walked about a half mile stopped to check the map and heard a blood curdling scream or yell he asked what it was so I told him it was a bird and when we got out blind we loaded our shotguns and didn’t say a word to each other until the sun came up I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods and I’ve heard a lot of strange sounds Bobcats Bears foxes and raccoons that could be solved by looking them up but I couldn’t find anything online about them and none of my hunting friends young and old could explain them it turns out there have been a large number of Bigfoot sightings in the area I’m not saying it was big feet but it was big feet it’s not really scary it’s just unexplainable I was hiking in the back country of seoa national park with some friends we were trudging along this very steep Granite trail that was carved from glaciers it was absolutely breathtaking both in Beauty and exhaustion anyway we didn’t see anyone the whole way we came upon an old rusted can of tuna it looked ancient from the weathering it had been opened and seemed like it had been opened recently because the tuna was still wet and smelly no one was on site and we didn’t see anyone the whole time during our trip also unless the person went cross country we would have seen them because it was a dead end Peak Trail so anyway I have no idea how the tuna was opened or by whom it was a little unsettled at the time but only for a moment my dad my brother and I took our camper van camping one weekend on the first night at about 2: a.m. there was a massive bang and for a few seconds the van shook violently my dad jumped up and ran outside to see what it was but there was nothing there and no damage to the van he decided it must have been a dream and was about to go back to bed when I heard my brother ask him what caused the van to shake and my dad had no answer we all went back to sleep and forgot about it until the morning when we got up to take the dog for a walk my aunt and uncle had their camper parked up next to hours and as we passed them my uncle came running out with his terrified look on his face he said that at about 2: a.m. his van shook like mad and there was a loud bang but he was too afraid to go out and check what it was so he had been waiting for us to get up at first we thought a deer must have hit the van or something but it shook for more than just a split second a few seconds at least also what are the chances of one deer running into two different vans neither van had done any damage to them at all we don’t often get earthquakes in the UK and there was nothing in the news about any Quakes in the morning eventually we just wrote it off as something strange happening and forgot about it this past summer I was at filmont Scout Ranch in the mountains of New Mexico for anyone familiar with filmont this incident took place at elorn a trail Camp east of head of Dean and south of Flume Canyon it’s on the edge of the ponel complex burn scar so there’s not much for tree cover and a lot of burned trees on the ground we went to bed early that night after having dragged a burrow up the trail from Flume Canyon not long after the sun went down we started hearing a knocking noise it sounded almost like a woodblock instrument it was too slow and too deep in Pitch to be a woodpecker we’d hear it every 15 minutes or so for a couple hours and then it just quit I tried knocking on some of the burned trees the next morning to see if I could imitate the sound but basically every tree I tried was just charcoal and crumbled as soon as I touched it me and a friend of mine we’ll call her Sally went into these woods behind her house to smoke in this abandoned Amish community I guess but we’re walking around and we’re almost to the shacks and we both hear people talking and we see these two people one in white and one in light blue well we decide to make ourselves known just in case they are Hunters we don’t want to get shot you know well we get no reply so we walk closer and these guys are nowhere to be found there was no way they could have disappeared like that we looked for these people for 20 minutes and never found or heard anything neither of us had anything to protect ourselves so we picked up a couple rocks smoked our joints and left the whole time we could both feel someone watching us it was not super terrifying but we both felt uneasy after that I was on my grandfather’s porch sitting there at night with my father he’s smoking and I’m just playing my guitar randomly suddenly my dad said what the hell is that I looked at him and saw he was pointing to the woods there was this small green light moving super fast among the trees it didn’t look natural there aren’t any other houses nearby as fast as it came it disappeared now I don’t think it had any connection but down the road after a minute or two while my father was looking for that light we heard a car breaking we thought it had been an accident or something so we went to see what happened a woman we knew was shaking pale and sweaty we asked her what happened and she said she had just seen her dead husband on a white horse coming from the woods we looked at at each other thinking she was mad but we knew she was a very smart woman she was a doctor 45 years old after a long time trying to calm her down she left I looked at my father and he said we’d better go inside we go to this campsite every year and we decided to drive around and see what we could find it turned to night and we were about 30 minutes away from our camp we were walking around and trying to be super quiet we saw what looked like a campsite because we saw glowing lights we creeped closer and we started hearing noises surrounding us it freaked us all out but once we got closer to the campsite we saw what it really was it was a fire with lanterns everywhere there wasn’t anyone there and it seemed like they just left the noises got louder and we were all pretty sketched out we got closer to the fire and inside we saw pounds of ashes and some bones it was scary but really it could have just been someone barbecuing we thought that until one of us saw what looked like a human skull the noises were really loud now and we knew that the longer we stayed the more of a chance they would come back we started walking back and we weren’t using flashlights just to be safe there were trees blocking the view partially but you could still partially see through them we heard a camper door open and all these middle-aged ladies stormed out with torches we all slowly walked the mile back to the car the worst part was having to sleep out in tents in the woods after all that if you spend enough nights camping weird things will happen a couple of years ago two buddies and I did a month-long road trip around the us we would camp in US Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management areas and we were driving my pickup truck so we could get back in some fairly deep Wilderness on Forest roads after about 15 nights on the road we ended up on some BLM land near the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park in Colorado it was our last night in Colorado and we were exhausted from doing a 14er earlier that morning we found the coordinates of a campsite online and arrived at the edge of the pavement at about 6:00 p.m. ahead of us was a Dusty two track Lane that snaked through Scraggy trees and brush and made its way to the top of a hill that had views of snowcapped Peaks we hadn’t passed a car in a long time our truck makes it to the site easily but none of us get out yet we sit inside and look around there’s a fire pit lots of trees but also an abandoned couch and some other signs of human waste not great Vibes but it’s getting late and we aren’t keen on the idea of driving more we hop out and start walking around cautiously approaching some garbage bags wrapped in duct tape this seems like a place where we would find a body I say to my friends they agree we notice a trail that seems to go in a circle around the top of the hill so we decide to check that out before we commit to staying we find some more trash and human waste but nothing that makes us feel like we should leave we decide to Cowboy camp sleep on a tarp beneath the stars and have a nice fire going we finish off a case of beer but even with the inebriation we still feel uneasy every couple minutes one of us will shine a light into the woods thinking that we have heard something even though this is our 20th consecutive night sleeping outside it doesn’t feel right but it’s late so we start getting ready for bed we are all carrying bare spray and headlamps I step into the woods to go pee and walk about 15 ft without turning on my light as I’m standing there peeing I decide I should turn on my headlamp since the fire messed up my night vision when I see what the beam of light illuminates my knees nearly Buckle the jaw is dropped I stand in silence for 10 seconds before calling out to my friends guys did you see this in the center of my beam is a bunch of bleached bones wrapped in barbed wire hanging from a branch directly above the trail we had walked in the daylight we would have certainly noticed them in the daylight they must have been hung once it got dark while we sat only 25 ft away the consensus Among Us was [ __ ] that so we snapped a couple photos of it before throwing our stuff in the park and hopping in the truck we drive a little ways up the road to a National Park Campground I’ve never felt so happy to pay $25 and have neighbors nearby my hypothesis is that a Rancher with a grazing lease put the bones up to scare off the scum that leaves all their trash at the campsites they’re probably cow bones still scared the hell out of me though it was like September a few years ago I was walking through the woods by my grandma’s house as a memory thing because I used to play in those woods when I was little I was alone and it was the golden hour right before dark but not exactly light I was walking my old path reminiscing about the stuff I used to do back there with my friends I came across the fort we built out of pallets at this point I was excited that it was still here but as I got closer I realized a homeless person had been living in it which didn’t really surprise me as it was a common thing for homeless people to do I keep on my path to the little tiny pond that we used to drink around that’s when I started freaking out because I felt like I was being followed I kept hearing leaves rustling and I was ready to just go back home so that’s exactly what I did I’m not dumb I’m not about to die in the woods as I backtracked back to the house I heard the loudest most shrillest scream I’ve honestly ever heard which scares me even more mind you I could see my grandma’s house from where I was I ran back home and my grandma was out drinking her coffee on the back patio I went to sit down and she asked why I was out of breath after explaining the entire story she told me she had been outside and didn’t hear a thing to this day it still freaks me out to the point where I won’t even go in her backyard anymore so I’ve been going to child camp for 20 days during the summer holidays for like 7 years now but one year was super weird I was like 13 years old the camp is located in the middle of nowhere near a river and half of the camp is in the forest we went on a whole day trip and when we were going back by train our leader of the camp had a strange encounter in the train with an older man she was like 21 and I was around 50 he told her something like lady you have such slim and beautiful fingers and anything more we got out of the train and the man did did too later that night that same girl had an encounter in her tent a figure stood at the entrance and looked straight at her she thought it was one guy from the camp who kept making fun of her in the morning she asked him what he was doing there and he told her he had no idea what she was taking about the next few nights kids were seeing men in black hoods in the camp walking around and crawling shelves which made a very loud noise and even I heard it funny was that nobody told it to anyone else just to the leader of the camp don’t El lie because nobody knew that somebody else saw him too the big guys even kept a warsh with axes at all possible entrances and one of them saw a light from a flashlight on a hill when they sprinted up nobody was there so since then nobody knows who it was or what he was doing there kind of a psycho story and I even have Guam now writing it my family and I are Avid River Rafters and planned a trip to Utah as we do every year where we float about 20 mi over a week stopping and camping Riverside each night it’s incredibly peaceful and it’s out in the middle of canyons often times you don’t see anyone else Beyond an occasional Ranger and other Rafters at this particular River there are already established campsites every few miles on the right side of the river the left side is considered native land and you need a special permit to camp on that side the river was running really high this year and we found ourselves nearing Nightfall without finding any sort of suitable campsite as they were all washed out rafting in the dark is obviously not ideal or safe so we had no choice but to take a campsite on the native / Navajo side we figured it was too late for a ranger to patrol and we’d be up early enough to get out we all quickly set up our tents and got some rest but I remember feeling really spooked out most of the night the next morning we woke up to see our 5 gallon water jugs both of them were turned completely upside down and drained out I don’t know if it was pranksters although that area has absolutely nothing around it besides dirt and open space or bad juju for us being on the wrong side of the river but it was terribly creepy to encounter and left us all feeling a bit weird our Navajo friends on the trip were equally creeped out and we got out of their ASAP we had spare water tucked away on our rafts so don’t worry we didn’t all dehydrate short version of an encounter of some sort in the Wilds of New Mexico Mogul lone Rim transition zone between desert and deep forest in the hila Wilderness America’s first designated Wilderness mix of pin Pines scrub Prickly Pear choas and other weird stuff there are lots of old mind tunnel and shafts nearby beautiful Sunset Vistas pitch black Summer Night super still awesome stargazing and Mars was really close the closest in a generation once done with star and Planet gazing I retired to the pop-up camper to have a snack and read I saw a bear up close enough and personal earlier in the day so instead of cooking I just ate cold cuts and cheese and crackers later chips and salsa popup camper with interior lights on and windows all zipped down I wish for a breeze to cool off but basically nothing barely a sound and surprisingly no Crickets at some point my wife and I both look above book level and raise eyebrows at each other as we hear something stomp right through Camp no precursor sounds like Twigs or bushes just stomp stomp stomp right outside the camper seemingly between it and the tow vehicle minutes later this terrible screeching monkeybird racket starts up single voice hair raises up on my neck and my wife and I are now in non-verbal communication like what the heck is that and what should we do it sounds like it is maybe 15 to 20 yards away uphill a little the sound stops just as suddenly as it started no extra sounds like footsteps Twigs branches or anything else we talk about what it might be for a few minutes but then go back to reading sound continues to start up out of nowhere and stop all of a sudden over and over very unnerving does not respond to my eventual yells back at it or are making our own rocket with pots and pans yes the shotgun was in the back of the vehicle so I did not want to go get it with that sound basically right outside the pop-up tent camper no we did not have a strong portable light source I finally got fed up enough to Brave going outside to figure out just what the heck it was as it did not match my internal catalog of animal sounds at all and it was freaking me out that’s when it stopped for good still no additional sounds of movement or anything and the night was dead still so you could still hear bugs in the leaf litter but again no sounds at all I’ve listened to a lot of animal calls since and nothing matches my memory or my wife’s memory this was before smartphones it does not really match any Bigfoot or whatever sounds from the internet the best I can say is a super loud cross between a monkey and a large bird the next day I put my modest tracking skills to the test in Camp or the surrounding area there were no Footprints no scat no plant braks hair feathers or distrubed bark on the tree up by where where it sounded like it was calling from I was about 16 when this happened I was in Broly California for dove season with my cousins dad and Grandpa I was sitting at our campfire with my cousins when I kept hearing scratching noises and shuffling coming from a nearby cluster of trees I told my cousins to stay put and I took my shotgun to investigate thinking it was coyotes and i’ just shoe them away well I approached the trees and I noticed there was some kind of creature or person standing behind one of the trees but I could only see half of its face peeking at me I let out of who’s there and the one thing turned into six things all peeking from behind the trees at me I panicked started to fall backward and shot off around towards the trees I stood up looked back at the trees and noticed the things were gone I walked over to the trees my gun still pointed I saw the tree that I shot with a small pool of fresh blood next to it I immediately found the blood trail and it led to the irrigation canal that was adjacent to the trees well I also noticed that the blood trail continued on the other side of the canal which was 15 ft across there were no Footprints or anything so whatever this was had to jump around 15 ft to get to the other side it couldn’t have walked around the canal it went on for over a mile I never told anyone about what I saw I just told my cousins that I was scared of some coyotes every year when I went back to that area for dove season I always wondered if those things were going to come back for Revenge okay I’ve got two I will speak about but there are others one last year I went deer hunting and I usually jump hunt I walk through the bush by myself with an old 30 to 30 lever action I got out late and managed to get out to the back fields and the sun was just cresting the horizons now at this time I usually head in because you’re not supposed to shoot half an hour till dark well this night I figured I’d go through the cedar Groves at the back of the property just to see if there were tracks the property has been my family’s for my whole life and I know it like the back of my hand well right as Dark Crest the Wolves koi wolves which are about 60 to 80 ballsy bastards start up now I always enjoyed their howling until tonight that night they came up behind me and I could hear four howls out less than 50 yards behind me all I had were four rounds in my gun and a cell phone flashlight I start walking as quickly as I can to get through the Cedars a 45-minute ordeal were another four wolves who cut me off I never fired my gun but they blind charged me a few times and would start going into a circle pattern by running circles around me I’d hear them start to make the same noises as a dog on a deer hunt twice they brushed me they got so close by the time I got out of the Cedars I was so happy to have at least a shot but I had an open field across and I could hear them on the outskirts the whole time also just think of that with only about 5 yards of sight from the cell phone light it took me an hour to stop shaking when I got in driving out later that night I could see where they’d followed me up the driveway and there were 21 or so tracks two staying in an old cabin I had an interaction with nanabush one of the old trickster Spirits I was just finishing up for the night and this bird started slamming into my window for a Solid 5 minutes in the middle of February at 11:00 p.m. it was odd to see a bird let alone one doing this I don’t think anything of it and carry on though till I’m ready for bed going for my bedtime smoke I see the bird clinging to the screen door pushing on out it flies at me twice then hits all the windows on that side of the house as it disappears I hear something scuttling towards me and I see a figure 3T tall running on two legs in the dark between the vehicles I just got out of that situation locked the doors and went to bed not me but my dad a few years ago he was working on this big ranch with his cousin for a very rich guy in Texas he was going to work with two other people ex-m militaries and sergeants both of whom were tough [ __ ] who had their share of war the Two Soldiers had been on the ranch longer than my dad and and cousin they knew the ins and outs so one day my dad asks about the forest and if they could go to see it or Camp someday the soldiers say yes we can take you there but only during the day we are not spending the night there my dad is now confused about how two John Wicks are afraid of the dark so the funny thing is that the ranch has these night vision cameras in the forest that take pictures of movement and deer late at night the soldiers found two pictures in the camera with two little girls alone next to [ __ ] deer way past midnight since then they did not step into the forest at night and they concluded that one of the girls was wearing a Navajo dress maybe in a place miles away from civilization and caged property I have the two pictures I’ve seen there is one girl about 4 years old alone in the woods and the deer are around like WTF there is also one a bit older girl like maybe 8 years old looking at a deer while another deer is looking directly at her and no they are not far away the girls are practically a pet distance from the deer not mine but my mom mom and cousin my mom swears there is a werewolf creature around the camp Douglas Fort McCoy area of Wisconsin in the late ’90s Mom and boyfriend were driving on the Frontage Road along the interstate between Toma and Sparta it was a full moon night in the fall I call it a frontage road but it’s sometimes visible to the interstate and other times not because of trees what they think is an exceptionally large man runs out of the trees on all fours and leaps over the chain link and barbed wire fence around some military area this fenced in area has a stone entrance wall with a sign stating what it’s for in the Army Installation it belongs to the thing has ears like a human more like a dog and leaps over the chain link barbed wire fence and disappears into more woods they don’t stop but freak out asking the others in the car if they saw whatever it was about 5 years later my Dad’s cousin who didn’t know my mom for broken family reasons is talking to me about how he and his girlfriend were on that frontage road driving out to look at a home they wanted to buy it was dusk in the winter they come close to the stone entrance thing and something is on top of it they slowed and looked at it they said it was a werewolf sitting on its hunches on the stone wall and it looked right at them its ears move back like a dog does when thinking about taking off after something his wife screams and he floors it away they never stopped to see the house they just made it back onto the Interstate what gets me is that the two sightings happened years apart and at least six total adults saw them some of them I think would just love to say they saw something like this but not all of them are this fanciful nevertheless when I had to go to Fort McCoy to get my CAC and the group of us from my employer got lost on the way in this wooded area I couldn’t help but look into the woods just in case I saw it it is not a wood story but I think it is relevant when I was young around 10 years old we lived in a trailer park in El Paso behind the park was a desert and my sister and I often played back there we would walk for Miles exploring on one occasion my sister and I hiked for quite a distance all of a sudden we both got a strange sensation as if we were being watched we decided to turn around and head home we would follow our tracks to keep from getting lost when we turned around we saw that they were large what we assume were mountain lions tracks beside our own my sister and I ran as fast as we could back to the park but we never saw or heard anything to this day I believe a mountain lion was stalking us and I always pay attention to those six sense feelings I went mushroom hunting alone in the Deep Woods unarm a very dumb idea in those parts LOL once as I have done yearly since 2014 and I am pretty sure I was stalked by a mountain lion I don’t really have any proof of this I just felt unusually on edge like someone was keeping a close eye on me I’d hear the occasional twig snap and otherwise Eerie silence and here and there and see non- herbivore droppings it might not have been a cougar but it very well could be as it is Cat Country out there and they tend to stalk people and animals also the first time I took my puppy out there on my second to last outing earlier this year she found a bone and started chewing on it besides telling her to drop it I assumed it was likely from a deer or elk and let it be in responding to this thread it just crossed my mind that a few years ago someone found a human skull near there and so it may have been from a human one time on a hunting trip we were in a tree stand when across the clearing we saw someone standing just in the middle of the field we grabbed a scope to see what they were doing my buddy looked at me and said it was a kid we we were in shock that a kid would be out in the middle of it the Montana Woods in winter so we climbed down and started heading towards him well as soon as we got about 100 yard away the kid giggled and took off running the other way I yelled and started sprinting towards my butt right behind me but no matter how fast we ran we couldn’t catch him when we started getting into thick bush we lost track of him and couldn’t find a trace of him all we kept hearing was his childlike giggle that’s when my buddy just turned and said we should go something ain’t right we got back to the tree stand and never saw him again we stopped off in prayer and asked some people if any kids were missing because we saw a little boy in the woods but he ran from us they said no one was missing from there it was the closest town to us so who knows I went for a drive in the woods in Southeast Alaska a few decades ago it was my best friend driving my fiance riding in the center seat and me and the passenger seat of a single cab pickup we stopped at a gas station to get snacks before heading out it was late in the evening so it was already dark out by the time we stopped to eat some of our snacks the night was cool as it was late fall so here we are chatting in the truck and eating our food parked off of this long winding Dirt Road to Nowhere my buddy starts talking about local Legends and lore including the kushtia I was fairly ignorant of the idea and the myth and thought it was all Bs I thought it would be funny to harass him a bit about it and push the limits of testing this kushtia nonsense he was dead serious when he told me to stop but I continued then I heard what sounded exactly like fingernails tapping on my window next to my head I looked over and saw nothing but I assumed I was hearing things I couldn’t see anything because the cab light was on it was Pitch Black out a few moments pass and I hear it again this time both my finance and friend heard it my friend sort of nervously smiled and laughed then I realized I had to pee so I jokingly tell them that if I get snatched up by this kushika you best come after me I open the door and pee by the front Passage retire but the area felt very weird and uncomfortable I mentioned that as I got back in there we talked a bit more and I realized we had pulled off unknowingly at the time we stopped near a very old small Cemetery that contained frog type headstones of the telinga and heida cultures in an area amongst large Southeast evergreen trees I was still not a Believer and loved flipping [ __ ] to my friend then started yeah well if this kushtia BS is real why don’t they make themselves known come on come on already no sooner had I said that then something punched or hit the front fender twice my buddy turned ghost white and in one motion started the truck up and threw it in the drive and we were [ __ ] gone we got off the dirt road and back onto asphalt really quickly and stopped under a street light we got out and looked sure enough you could clearly see where something had hit up high the front right Fender when we were parked two distinct marks of dirt are missing to this day I still don’t know what it was but with every other paranormal experience I’ve had since that time there’s no doubt in my mind that something was trying to tell me to stop pushing it or something bad would happen never again did I talk [ __ ] about the kushtia being BS and I’ll never go into the woods of Southeast Alaska alone 2007 English Village of Playford bealings my mother my brother and I were sitting in the car driving home from a friend’s house it was sunset and it took about 30 to 45 minutes until the sun went down there are a lot of myths particularly in that area to do with Crossroads and intersections living there is bad luck Etc we crossed over one with a house a little to the right which was distinguishable because it had a bright red door and two gargoyles on the wall outside immediately afterwards we went under a thick layer of trees which blocked out all sunlight and we were under there for perhaps 15 seconds as we went around a Bend straight after coming out of bed it’s literally Pitch Black in the middle of the night the time moved forward by an entire hour and a half what’s even more confusing is that we ended up driving exactly the same way up to exactly the same house on the exact same Crossroads now with the lamp illuminated despite having driven in an almost straight line I cannot explain it background about where my dear stand is to my back is Woods then field to my front is a field that turns into a hill that I chose to kind of act as a BM in case I miss to the left is more Woods to the right is more field this area is my family’s farm and has been for a long time before that it was not really a forest but slightly wooded the trees were planted by settlers before that it was a clear area I’m not a superstitious person but it says I can’t explain and I can’t I was sitting in my chair on a Saturday morning I will never forget this it was barely raining the sun just above the Horizon suddenly I felt like I was being watched I’ve never felt like that with deer I looked into the woods and there were wolves on the edge of the woods those dicks just stood there and watched me you better bet I stared back I know they take that as a challenge but I’m in a tree bring it the Wolves just stood there staring and watching they stood there for 3 hours I just started ignoring them they scared away the deer anyway all of a sudden they leave double time and some big black thing appears from the woods size of a black bear skinny like a dog head like a bat it stood where the Wolves were I pointed my gun at it and shot into the ground on purpose I don’t want to be the guy who killed the last of whatever species it looked at me I chambered a new round and it ran I have no idea what it was but I asked my dad and uncles and they said they saw it too I was up at Montezuma’s Castle montazuma as well and tuig good in Arizona for an internship with The NPS most of the job was Trail maintenance and the destruction of invasive plants so lots of time outside pretty much in the middle of nowhere there were many times when I’d be out of hearing what sounded like hoof Beats from horses but never saw any the hoof beats would get really close within a few feet and there were times I could feel the vibration one day I was out with one of the Rangers and I started hearing it I asked him if he heard it and he said he did and that it happened a lot I started to ask questions when he held up his hand and told me to just accept that it was happening and not ask questions he seemed frightened of the sound too I’ve heard it at home too in Phoenix at my apartment complex there is a nice green belt area and one morning I was on the early shift for work and it’s pitch black outside I was walking to my car when I heard the hoof beats it sounded like a horse charging at at me I whipped around expecting a giant dog that was running across the green belt but there was nothing the hoof beats continued until they got to where I was and just stopped I have never found anything on the internet about it much to my dismay I don’t know that I would really call it paranormal but I definitely can’t find an explanation the only two things I can think of are one the ground is moving which causes the hoofbeat sounds two gas is escaping from the underground I’ll probably never know I live in the Midwest and went to Spring Hill for a week as a kid we stayed in a teepee in the woods and the first night I woke up to find a bunch of dark figures moving around inside I couldn’t quite make out any features just Silhouettes I also couldn’t move similar to when I have sleep paralysis maybe I was having sleep paralysis then either way when I woke up in the morning it was the first thought I had I soon rubbed it off as a bad dream until everyone else woke up to find close thrown all about the interior of the teepee the counselor was distraught and started questioning all of the kids nobody said anything including me but we were all puzzled nonetheless nothing was ever figured out it wasn’t really a scary experience when I was around 17 years old I had a dog that was part Alaskan Husky and part German Shepherd I lived in a rural section of the Appalachian Mountains at the time and would go hiking pretty often my dog whom I’ll call bugs because that was his name would always go with me as you can imagine bugs was a pretty good-sized dog given the two breeds he was mixed with he didn’t scare too easily and was very protective we were on one of our usual hikes we’d go up the hill behind my parents house to an old coal mining Road there were a couple cold water springs near the road and once we got within 100 ft or so of them bugs would run ahead to get him a drink and cool off a bit so he took off and because of the trees and brush in the forest I couldn’t see him I knew where he’d be I stopped at that time to get a drink from my water bottle and rest for a couple seconds not long after after I start moving again I hear bugs running back down the hill I figure he’s just coming to see where I’m at instead he is running full force at me with a bit of a panicked look on his face he stops looks at me says woof and takes off running full force down the hill again I think that was odd but I will continue on my hike I was hoping to see what may have spooked him there wasn’t much Wildlife to be feared at the time just some squirrels Chipmunks white tailed deer aosm skunks Birds and the usual Critters the scariest thing might be a bobcat but those are rarely cited I finish my hike without seeing anything scary I get home and bugs is just hanging out in the yard waiting for me he didn’t go on the next couple of hikes with me but he did eventually rejoin me on the trips I still don’t know what spooked him it was a strange experience but not particularly scary for me anyway if bugs were still alive he might tell a different story in case you’re curious bugs died at the age of 18 he was definitely a good boy bow hunter I set up a camp for a day or two keeping my bows in such in a vehicle this particular year I had my Jeep and a tiny toe behind me so nothing was left out like knives bows Etc just a couple things like tables and chairs so there I am early morning following a trail the ground is quickly being dusted with snow my Gill suit becomes less useful by the minute so I opt to go swap to a snow y camo I had my little s set up to drag back a deer hang it up and clean when I got to my site my cleaning setup that was unused hours ago was still in place but there was a pool of semi Frozen blood below it the fire pit was out but warm my table was wiped off but clearly it was just used someone used my sight to clean something sort of tidied up and sitting on the footstep to my sleeper a wax paper wrapped slab of red meat it looked to me like a decent chunk of venison no tracks in but tracks leading out so they must have come just as the snow started I packed up and [ __ ] right off I was clearly outclassed by the Hunter and I had no idea where they were I just decided to go home me and a group of friends were camping in a clearing just outside a large Woods we got there around noon and fished and hiked until sunset everything was normal we made a fire and were cooking our fish and telling stories but once it got so dark you couldn’t see past the light of the fire things got a bit scarier we heard the very loud Yelp we thought it sounded like like a wolf so we decided to throw whatever fish we had left back into the creek to try to get the wolf to leave we were still on high alert but we sat back down and continued our story a bit later we heard the Yelp again followed by a loud screeching noise I’ve never heard anything like it before after that we put more wood on the fire and went back to our tents we hoped the light would keep whatever was in those woods away in the morning we started to pack up and notice some of the fish that we threw in the creek was lying next to our fire I have no idea what did that but we decided it was best if we didn’t come back to that spot anymore as a kid I lived in a decent sized Conservation Area in Southern New Hampshire me and my friend from the neighboring town would go there during hunting season because you weren’t allowed to hunt on it unlike the forest he and I usually hung around in the area spanned a river and there were a lot of little islands and sandb bars that only appeared during parts of the year thanks to snow melt so we fored the river and ended up on a peninsula not that far off the trail maybe a quarter mile at most but across water you’d have to swim to it most of the year so we’re checking it out climbing the embankment and what have you and then we both spot a camp at the same time it was set up in the middle of this peninsula just hidden well enough that you couldn’t see it if you went boating the damn thing had bones all over it it looked like your typical homeless camp with some garbage a shopping cart of all things and a tarp tent with a really grimy pile of blankets but what stuck out were the bones hanging from branches on strings strewn around a fire pit just generally littered about I’m pretty sure they were deer and other animal bones but I don’t know because once we both saw that my friend wasn’t listening to my dumbass self who wanted to check it out anymore and [ __ ] right off and I followed I never saw a person never saw a boat nothing just the camp and the bones it’s worth noting that the enforcement of conservation there is strict enough that you can get in major trouble if they even suspect you’re there to hunt or fish without permission and they’re really Vigilant about it we also later realized that you could lay on the embankment we climbed up and watch people on the more popular Trails without even needing binoculars and there was a pretty good view of the river as well whoever lived there could watch people and not be seen my friend and I agree that his gut instincts were right it’s very probable the Camp’s owner was there watching us from hiding I shudder to think what would have happened if we got closer my father used to be an avid Hunter when he was in his 20s before family life and all he’s hunted all around the state we live in and does not scare easily at the time he was working on a farm that is just a couple miles away from where we live now the farmer knew my grandparents and trusted my father the farmer owned a ton of land which included quite a bit of wood he told my dad he could hunt them whenever he wanted my father didn’t waste any time doing so he went hunting a few weeks later but something was off he told us that when he went into the woods there wasn’t any noise no bugs or tree frogs it creeped him out but he just played it off as an off day he didn’t see any deer that day and left after a couple hours my father went back the second time a few weeks later since he finally had a day off from the farm this time was a bit stranger he got 100 or so yards into the woods and it was the same as before no noise of any sort except this time he said It felt as though he was being stalked he said he stayed in the woods for 15 to 20 minutes before quickly leaving my dad never went back into those woods he said that in his entire life up until now he never felt like that again this farmer was going to give his farm to my dad but he refused because of how uneasy those Woods made him feel this happened back in the 1970s and the woods currently have a reputation for being haunted with Bigfoot sightings and even screams at night there’s a website for my state that lists forgotten and historical places and has a section that shows Legends and haunted places by county and the woods are listed there as a supposedly haunted location my father likes to go hunting by himself I tried to tag along as much as possible but I always went to school on this particular day when he was packing up to leave for the night he had a strange encounter if you like to go camping hiking or hunting you know that even when the sun sets behind the mountains there is still enough light to be able to see or pack your things without a flashlight well my father said that as the son started sitting behind the mountains and he started packing his equipment into his truck a random woman appeared out of thin air this was in late fall and it was fairly cold out the woman was wearing a short sleeve shirt shorts and white sneakers there were no signs that the woman had walked up to him because he checked his surroundings constantly and there was no one to be be seen where my father parked we always Camp there every summer and you can see more than 100 yard up and down the road my father also said that earlier that day as he drove by the campgrounds to the public hunting land there were no campers trailers tents or possible hikers present he knew that there was a possibility of him being alone that day knowing my father he never left his guard down and was always aware of his surroundings the woman startled my dad and he secretly reached for his concealed weapon in his waistband and tried his best to make make sure she wouldn’t notice anyways my father asked if the woman was camping and the woman had one simple reply yes the woman then walked around my dad’s truck as if she were inspecting it until she came back to the spot where she began the woman didn’t say anything at all during this altercation and she proceeded to head up the trail to the campgrounds closer to California 155 on this dirt road that merged off CA 155 there were two main campgrounds one about 2 mi off CA 155 and another 3 to 5 m out after a few minutes my father was done packing and he got into his truck and drove back up the dirt road towards CA 155 so he could head home as he passed the campgrounds closer to ca 155 he noticed that there were no tents cars trailers or any signs that someone was going to Camp there that night he thought to himself that maybe she was camping father out so he turned his truck around and headed for the campground’s father away from CA 155 to his surprise there were no signs of people camping there that night night he then came to the consensus that maybe the woman was just hiking but he realized that the nearest town to him was about 15 Mi down ca55 and it was way too late for someone to be hiking he then started to raise suspicion he drove back to where he parked and looked for Footprints like I stated this was just a dirt road and it hadn’t rained yet so Footprints should be visible my father did not find any Footprints at all he followed on foot to where he thought she would have headed up to the campgrounds closer to ca100 155 and after a while he could finally see some Footprints however the footprints were barely visible and they seemed to just start out of nowhere after a while they just went right off the road and there was nothing to be seen as if she just wandered off he knew that he had maybe encountered a ghost that day but he was not sure he came home and told my mom about it and she said that one of my father’s close friends had passed away earlier that week and that maybe that encounter was his way of saying his last goodbyes before he headed off into the Afterlife which kind of made sense since my father’s friend got really sick and couldn’t go hunting with my father anymore and they always hunted together when my father’s friend was still alive he always said that they would go on one last hunting trip together but he passed away before they could do it my father then lost contact with his friend also the woman walked around my dad’s truck as if she were inspecting it my dad had always wanted the same truck as his friend and told him multiple times that he would buy a truck similar to his but my father never bought one until after his friend got deathly sick and lost contact I was camping on a lake once with some friends and family up north far enough North that there was no light pollution from any sort of city or town for enough North you could see the aurora on occasion we would often see moving lights in the sky they look like stars and our friends would explain them away as satellites but they would zip back and forth across the sky changing directions abruptly and crossing paths sometimes up to five of them in one area but that’s not what this story is about we were sitting on the Lake Shore late one night gathered around the camp fire when suddenly this bright orange ball of fire started rising from the lake we thought it might be a firework set off by someone else in the area but it Rose incredibly slowly and it wasn’t an ember from the fire we were all standing on the shore with our backs to the fire at this point it Rose I don’t know how high in the air stopped hovered for a few seconds and then it was gone we never really talked about it with them because of their dismissal of the other strange thing I wish I could ask them about it now but I have since lost contact with all but one one of them who is currently an oceanographer stationed in Antarctica when my best friend and I were in middle school we would often walk our dogs on this Wooded Trail that was located near our houses we would occasionally run into Wildlife out there like deer or Fox but the dogs a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd would just bark and chase them for a second then we would round them up and be on our way this day when we were walking it was late in the evening the sun was getting ready to set and we didn’t see anybody else out in the woods we let the dogs off the leash and they were running around having a good time the dogs were about 30 ft in front of us sniffing playing and just being dogs when suddenly they both stopped almost simultaneously in the middle of the path looked up in the sky not too many trees in this spot started barking and backed up cautiously with their heads up we tried looking to see if there was something in the sky but didn’t see anything so my friend and I looked at each other then turned around and ran home I have no idea what caused them to do this maybe a random high frequency we couldn’t hear we did live near a military base that does a lot of testing I was maybe 16 at the time and was out deer hunting I was a mile from home hunting in a valley and sitting on the top of a ridge on one side overlooking a rivered when the sun was going down I should have left earlier but I didn’t want to scare the deer and figured I’d wait until they left or if it was dark enough they wouldn’t see me leave when I did leave it was still light enough to somewhat see but too dark to look through my rifle scope if that makes sense I climbed over the top of the The Ridge and when I did I could hear something across the dried up pond at the bottom of the side I then saw five animals I don’t know what they were but they weren’t canines like wolves or coyotes they were bigger than coyotes and a lot more bulky but they were super agile they were making weird sounds I’d never heard before two I don’t know if they saw or smelled but all of a sudden they all stopped moving and went silent for a few seconds before two of them took off running and started looping around to my left and going behind me and one looped to my right while the other two stayed with where they were I had become the Hunter and I was terrified I started shouting and making a lot of noise and I never saw them for the rest of the walk home but it was the scariest moment I’ve ever had in the woods we went back the next day to look for tracks but it had snowed enough that night to cover them I won’t forget that night I was camping with my church youth group when I was about 12 to 13 I’m 23 now at night we would split up into three or four in tent together the first night there I could not sleep my tent mates were asleep but for some unexplainable reason I had a really uneasy feeling that kept me awake I spent most of my time just lying and looking through our mesh window in the tent there was only one window that faced the gravel road and about 15 yard down the road was the Camp’s restroom next to the restroom was one single street light this is all I could see through our window there was nothing but would around the tent other than that early around 1: or 2 a.m. a dull hovering light caught my attention at first I thought it was a headlamp because that seemed around the same height as when I was seeing this light the light slowly moved from the restroom area to directly underneath the street light that’s when I realized that no human was holding the light the orb of light continued to slowly move and I followed it with my eyes until it reached the tree line and disappeared behind the trees I believe no one else had seen it until I told my younger brother the next morning who also happened to be on that trip he said that he was awake all night and had seen the exact same thing I distance hike when I can some times this means getting up early or staying out late to get as many miles in as possible sometimes walking in the pitch dark with a low light headlamp gets spooky I grew up in the woods in this area I’ve slept under our canopy of stars more nights than I can count I’ve trekked thousands of miles of Trail Riverbank Lake Shore Ridge bottoms bogs and Creeks I’ve hunted the game I’m establishing this because it’s important you understand I’ve heard seen and smelled all this region has to offer in the way of wilderness my scariest experience though happened at about 0430 in the morning it was late spring so the first Morning Light wouldn’t be visible in the Treetops for another 30 to 45 minutes another hour pass that until sunrise I was on Mile 5 I’m on a low bottom that’s wedged between two steep ridges the trail I’m on is narrow muddy and completely hemmed in by thick underbrush young Maple and old oak growth I’m focused on the small light from my headlamp just one step after the other zoned out out then I heard a loud crack and I froze solid this is the part I have trouble describing 0430 in springtime means I’m the only thing making noise no birds chirping nothing dead quiet mid-step I froze when fight or flight kicks in you have these immediate instinctive thoughts the thought that instantly flashed in my mind as I stood there balancing myself into silence was if I hear that again I’m turning around and I’m going back the way I came in a hurry why because that sound was not a branch breaking it wasn’t a Deadfall it wasn’t a Widowmaker I was damn sure I had just heard something intentional hearing it twice well that meant get out of here to describe it as best I can it sounded like a decent sized wooden stick being violently whacked against a smallish tree more of a Fungo bat sized stick than a baseball bat the distinction in my head was that this sound was a crack not a thud or thump and I have described it as explosive in the past because it was so sudden and so terribly loud I had the sense that it was about 50 yard directly in front of me and it was loud and clear now as I stood there completely spooked I realized the soon to be worst part of my situation I knew where the sound came from and I knew where the trail went in about 30 yards I was going to come to a 180° turn and start up the ridge going away from the creek this meant that as soon as I got the courage to move towards this noise I was going to have to turn my back on it and get up that Ridge this made me very nervous my my head is somewhere between meth fiend murder and Bigfoot bludgeoning minutes pass I just breathe my foggy breath into my glasses and listen nothing dead quiet I’ve got about 20 to 30 minutes until first light I crank up the headlamp and start to slowly creep to the 180 degre turn when you wear a headlamp in the woods at night every tree branch in front of you casts a big black moving shadow on the trail it didn’t help I get to the turn and quickly make the bend I’m moving pretty fast at this point trying to be quiet taking tiny shallow breaths so I can listen while humping it up the trail and then I smelled it a stench hits me that I can’t describe I just imagine wet rotten death I’ve actually worked on scenes where humans have expired in a past life as a firefighter this was like days old decomposition but it just smelled strange I kept walking fast by the time I made the top of that Ridge I was huffing and the first light was showing I didn’t stop moving until full light was out and the birds were chirping I’ve heard it all in our woods I’ve smelled it all I’m telling you I don’t know what the hell that was Deadfall and especially leafed out branches make a lot of noise on the way down I’ve heard it many times I don’t know a couple years ago while hunting I went out before first light and climbed into my deer stand like I’ve done countless times right at about 5:00 a.m. my favorite part of the day is when the light starts to break into the sky and the forest wakes up the nocturnal creatures Retreat and the day creatures stir and become active that morning as the light started to appear nothing happened and I mean nothing no rabbits or raccoons retreating to a den no squirrels searching for breakfast no deer no Hogs not even a single bird the weather and temperature were unremarkable and the air was mostly still there was just no movement and no sound throughout the woods that morning there was neither a chirp nor a rustle As Time passed I started to get an unexplainable sense of dread not a this is weird feeling of observing something something strange but more of a death is imminent feeling that I’ve never experienced before I stayed until about 8:00 a.m. still early for deer hunting until I was literally trembling with fear and I stormed out of there I went back that afternoon and I found the woods to be completely normal with all the usual sights and sounds the weirdest and most uncomfortable experience in the woods that I’ve ever had it was almost like a dream but I absolutely was not dreaming I have not been scared in the woods since I was a boy going out the first few times with my dad he would joke we’re hunting we have nothing to be afraid of the forest is afraid of us not that morning Dad I was scared shitless and I don’t know why I was 45 years old at the time my best friend used to have a job as a research assistant on an owl census project in New Mexico this basically involved systematically hiking through remote forest for 2 weeks at a time and charting where owls were cited all sounds were heard and pellets were found then you’d get two weeks off then 2 weeks on at Etc the job required the two research assistants hike together for safety unfortunately the guy she was paired with was slow and out of shape so he generally trailed some distance behind her one week into a hike she started to develop the feeling that she was being watched she stopped in the middle of a clearing to wait for the other guy to catch up thankfully he wasn’t too far behind and realized there was a mountain lion in the trees watching her they both put their arms up and screamed at it until it went away she said the most terrifying part of the whole exper erience was knowing that it had been following her for an entire week or longer and was just waiting for her to be far enough away from her companion to attack I’m a landscaper and we managed some pretty big accounts in the woods well I stepped off 100 ft or so to take a leak I started peeing and looked up around and off in the distance I saw someone in a red hoodie just [ __ ] staring at me from behind a tree this lot of land is next to a road but it’s all commercial and not residential so besides us there really shouldn’t be any other people out here but us especially this deep out there I cocked my head to the side to make sure that it was in fact a person in a hoodie and not something else that my mind distorted into a human well once I move they move back behind the tree I yelled at them hey what are you doing and they took off I’m pretty sure whoever it was did not have pants on they could have been flesh colored but I don’t believe so and no shoes I was shook by everything so I just called my boss and told him what was up we all went to do a quick search together and we never saw the person again hunting alone in the middle of the Oregon Cascades miles from any people I’m sitting still watching a clearing when I hear a sound that I’ve never heard before since the only way I can describe it is that it sounded like would cracking together like someone hit a pine tree with a telephone pole and was doing their best Jose cono impression the first time it happened I genuinely thought it was a gunshot because the initial crack was so loud but the last half of the sound was very clearly a tree being struck and shaking there was a flood of instant Terror once my mind worked out the calculation for how hard you would have to hit a tree to replicate that sound I’d estimate the source was on the other side of a small Valley from me well over 300 yard I know it sounds stupid but it was such a tremendous show of force that I instantly started making my way back to my truck I’ve been hunting all my life and I’m an avid firearm Enthusiast I go shooting almost every weekend this was 100% not gunfire pine trees and cedar trees will also sometimes make a popping sound in the morning and into the afternoon as the sun warms them it was orders of magnitude louder than that it’s not scary but I can’t explain it to this day and I’ve wanted to share it for a while but if no one that I think would take it seriously wildland firefighter in the US I’ve fought fires all over the Northwest Eastern Rockies and Midwest forests and the only thing that’s ever thrown me off was fighting fires in the mountains of NE Wyoming and BLM land east of Yellowstone hiking into a recently burned Valley that was just eerie smoke can make that a norm but the colors were so vibrant even after being touched by fire most of the trees and shrubs were unburnt uncommon but not rare or impossible within a few steps of entering the base of the valley I knew the details like I had lived there all my life like deja vu but with a Clarity of reality and not a momentary second but 20 minutes and 100 yards of hiking to be clear this was a place I’d never been before and I was hiking paths that were as familiar to me as a brother trees I knew had scars opposite me 20 yards away stones that I knew were going to be warm almost hot to the touch perched inches from a Ice Gold Stream before I turned Corners I knew about a rock shelf that was protecting a small pool with a lush green patch of grass the size of a small room with small untouched trees green grass in Wyoming in August is fairly uncommon I stayed there for a moment that felt like an hour the whole time my hair was standing up and falling down like I was revisiting a favorite song and the Symphony of emotions like Nostalgia joy and Bliss was just washing over me everything just felt perfect every single detail is perfect I but Star Trek fans out there are basically how G and described the Nexus in Star Trek 7 Generations like being inside joy and never in my entire life have I ever been his content I finished scouting the valley went back to my crew and we moved on I kept it to myself not knowing how to explain this perfect place to anyone let alone myself this shook me for days I had no way to rationalize it and it kept me awake a few nights for the rest of that assignment even as we worked ate and shared fun stories it’s still not at me to this day four years and countless fires later I’ve never had an experience like it and it’s likely the only place I’ve desired Beyond any to return to again just to touch that perfect world two stories first was the year I met my wife 10 years ago we were 17 and I was a hunting nut I decided to go camping in the sand dunes behind my suburb just off the beach we live in rural West Australia so nothing happens anyway in a pretty local area with lots of people around we decided to just hang around the beach go walking and settle down for the night a few hours passed and we had a small campfire going jumped into our shared sleeping bag and went to sleep I woke up to thuing all around us and a huge grock grock grock Noise Okay it freaked us out because I was half asleep it was an emu that basically stood on us and honestly the big fellow was a shocked as we were and he took off so we settled down to sleep and hurt it people everywhere they walked past us we didn’t see them though they weren’t talking we could just hear them walking they broke into a run and started laughing we heard them run over the Dune to the seaside and then the chanting started people weren’t taking the piss they were chasing someone and loving it there were a group of people running up and down the trails around us with a group chanting at that stage we kned the [ __ ] out I called my partner’s parents and they came with their Rottweiler and gun to pick us up we walked back to the parking lot that led to the trails our fog snarling at everything we could hear people running out of the darkness behind us laughing at us some of them even taunted us to come back to the dunes I never figured out what it was about but it wasn’t the local Aboriginal people my wife’s extended family and it wasn’t the local meth heads but it was over 50 people at around 3:00 a.m. the second tale we were homeless for a while at around 20 We rescued mastiffs and I had the opportunity to train in Melbourne and represent a gym for MMA we drove across the nuller boore with our three dogs and my wife’s mother halfway across we got tired and saw a dilapidated roadside stop it was just some younger woman’s house with a shop attached we pulled up and talked to the female owner and an older guy they looked at us and asked if we were tired I said yeah and they asked us if we wanted to park around back sure stop for a rest because these people seem nice drove around the back to a car park equivalent of car bodies okay sure that’s odd already because you know the nearest town is a day’s Drive anyway one of our dogs was unwell and needed a strict diet and to poop regularly I get her out of the car and the other dogs jump out too the Rottweiler takes off to explore the dogs poop and I call our big girl back no response that’s pretty normal she was ignorant sometimes I go to look for her and she is sniffing a sleeping bag okay fine the place is a wreck with [ __ ] everywhere I didn’t give it a second thought then I looked up and saw a massive tarp wrapped up around something and it was strung up between a few trees completely suspended and behind it were a few sleeping bags suspended between some trees 10 in all including the big one then I noticed an absolute swarm of flies I got the dogs back in the car and left I saw the woman and old man on the way out I waved at them and acted naturally nothing no smile or wave all the former charm was gone we dodged some Ivan mallat level [ __ ] because my dog was picky about where she pooped we never reported this because we honestly have no idea where on the null boore it was we just kept heading East on the biggest road we could I am sure that one day we were going to be killed by some hillbilly [ __ ] so I live in quite a remote area and I never really believed in ghosts or Monsters I was driving along at night and decided to pull up for the night and continue driving the next day at a spot known as the flat Sands it’s literally just a flat land that spans 100 km I was sleeping and I woke up to the most intense feeling of someone pinning me down and being unable to move I couldn’t see anything but it lasted a good minute I was sweating and out of breath and I had to take a moment to process what just happened I ended up going back to sleep and driving home the next day fast forward a few weeks later in my own home the same [ __ ] happened later on I was chatting with a few locals and another fell who had stayed at the same sand flat started talking about how he refuses to sleep there anymore as he has been there twice and both times he’s had the same experience on top of that the local inmates at the prison it had started to make complaints about what they believe the featherfoot man is about as they all experienced being pushed down in their sleep it’s some wacky [ __ ] hiking part of the NCT north of Grand Rapids Michigan we hiked around 25 mi in a day and by the time we made Camp I was in a huge amount of pain I hadn’t hiked for almost a year so going that hard was a mistake I was starting to get sick and couldn’t get warm no matter how I layered up I barely ate and then went to sleep I woke up in the very early morning to slow footsteps walking around Camp they were pretty heavy and lumbering so I knew it was a bear I didn’t dare move and I tried to slow my breathing as much as possible to stay quiet after around 20 minutes it started moving away again and I passed back out when I woke up the Shrubbery around Camp was Disturbed and a friend had also woken up and heard the same thing she was somewhat new to hiking though and had no idea what it was so she was a little spooked when I told her we got the [ __ ] out of there as soon as we could I’ve got one when I was in Boy Scouts my troop would always go to a camp called camp toets for our yearly summer camp that specific year they had had abnormal bear activity in and around the camp it was a pretty sizable camp but it was still way out in the boonies so an encounter with a chipmunk was just as common as it would be with a California black bear wildlife management was done by some crazy old gunnery sergeant that we called gunny so you can see the situations you might find yourself in so anyway I was tenting with my friend who had just joined the troop let’s call him James so James and I were sleeping in our tent in the middle of the night probably around 1: or 2 in the morning when I was abruptly awoken by something everything is dead silent aside from a plasticky creaking sound then I see it right above my head something was pushing the tent in so hard that it began to cave in right above my head like if someone was leaning into it with all of their weight except that these tents were relatively strong wrong you I mean I could as a predin could jump on them and you would just bounce right off so being the scared little 13-year-old that I was I began to smack whatever it was with all of my might while simultaneously clubbing James with my fist to get him to wake up mind you James is an incredibly deep sleeper so this in effect does nothing whoever or whatever it is is leaning so hard that it is almost touching my head when James wakes up from the nightmare that he was having and lets out a blood curdling 10-year-old girl being murdered in the Woods type scream whatever it was stopped leaning on the tent and vanished silently into the night so for a few years James who has no recollection of the event whatsoever and I always assumed it was a bear after the meds in my day pack but after Staffing at the camp and getting to know the lore of the grounds a little better I think something else might have been a foot there have been many strange happenings in and around Camp teets both paranormal and just normally unexplained there are the usual Bigfoot and ghost stories but older Scouts and even administrative higher-ups claimed to have seen things claims of wendigo Skinwalker hybrids things that look like both not actual hybrids some dead guy called drag thump and a bunch of Native American myths teits has the biggest and most active Native American program west of Oklahoma the fact that there were no tears in the tent flap from the bear claws we were the furthest away from the bear box the fact that there was absolutely no sound from the supposed bear black bears make a heck of a Ruckus and the fact that it was just persistently leaning into the tent instead of just clawing at it like most Bears leads me to believe that it was no Yogi or Smokey it just didn’t behave like bears do and even if it was some older Scouts attempting to play a joke on us they wouldn’t have been heavy enough to lean that far in on the tent and probably would have erupted into laughter right afterward plus my troop isn’t like that it’s full of a bunch of mild-mannered City Boys perfect Eagle Scout material of which I am one everything just seems so off I don’t claim to know what it was hence the Unexplained part let me guys know if something similar happened to you this this happened one or two years ago to me and my stepdad we were in Colorado on an elk hunting trip and we had been hiking all day when we got to a place where we would make camp we are there for a few hours and it really happens we Scout a little and don’t come up with much this was our second ever elk hunt so we really knew what to look for we cooked a dinner of mountainous freeze-dried beef stew on our gas stove after we finish up we both sit and catch our Breath You See Me and my stepdad are from Texas and at 11,000 ft our longs aren holding up to the thinner air we sit there for a while and break out our bivvies not 100% on the spelling of that which are basically a thicker trash bag made of reflective material and are waterproof we shoved our sleeping bags in and settled in we were both pretty tired but we were slightly worried about bears because I have be spray my dad has his 9 mm Glock and my dad has his bow which is attached to his bag we have our food bag in a tree Out Of Reach of a bear so we have done all the things we need to make our camp bear proof we fall asleep and and I have these weird [ __ ] up dreams I hear people talking about how they hope it doesn’t rain then I hear them talking about the best way to put a fire together and finally I just hear a fire going I wake up to the feeling of a fat raindrop hitting me in the face I then feel where the Raindrop had hit me and it was dry I look around and there is no fire and no evidence of any people nothing really this scared the [ __ ] out of me and I sat there for a few hours waiting for it to get light when it finally does get light my stepdad starts to wait and I’m sitting there still shivering even though it is only in the high 40s and I’m wrapped in a jacket a sleeping bag and many other layers he turns to me and says dude we need to leave I say why and my dad says I had all sorts of [ __ ] up dreams he proceeds to explain to me that in the middle of the night he had heard what he thought was a bear then what he thought was me screaming in the middle of the night me getting dragged away and then finally what he thought was a bear just standing over him and he had not been able to sleep much due to the fact that he thought his son was getting eaten by a bear I then explained to him what I thought I heard in the Raindrop and we both agreed that we should leave and that maybe the altitude was messing with us to this day I don’t know if it was altitude because I heard those voices and I still remember the conversation vividly I used to work as a fire spotter in a remote Tower deep in the woods on any given day I would be the only human being for miles around for a couple of weeks every time it approached Sunset when I’d finish for the day everything would go eily quiet almost like clockwork it stood out as it wasn’t normal there’s usually more noise around the time of day along with this every time I left the cabin to climb down there was the unnerving feeling of being watched but for a while it was only while climbing down after that I started getting the same feeling while on the ground and somehow it felt much closer and more menacing I can only liken it to knowing you’re being hunted or stalked not overly great when it’s a 100 meter walk back to the car with nothing to put between you and whatever else might have been out there this continued on for another few weeks but I started hearing sort of chirps and calls they stood out as everything was dead quiet then one day walking back across the clearing to the car there was a long low guttural growling somewhere behind me and I noped the [ __ ] out as fast as I could and afterwards I started parking the car at the base of the ladder because [ __ ] walking on open ground with angry sounding probably bitey things lurking about a few days later I was driving back out and spotted a movement on the upside of the road I looked again as it disappeared into the tree line large long and dark it seemed to hang around until the end of the fire season as the quietness and Eerie feelings were gone at the start of the next in my opinion and I’ve lived in very rural areas my whole life the majority of creepy night screams in North America can be blamed on cats cougars Bobcats foxes and owls the majority but not all if you want to read just my scary experience skip to the last paragraph We Live on a farm along a small feeder Creek in our area row crop corn and soybeans are the main crops so most land is cleared except along the creeks and rivers this concentrates the wildlife for 20 years foxes have made a den under our barn and some generations are Tamer and nosier than others two summers ago they were so loud making every scream and weird sound you can imagine we couldn’t sleep with the windows open we also have large numbers of Bart owls I got to see a batch learn to fly as both parents stood by and these birds have an amazing vocabulary when our young grandchildren visit in the summer months we usually put a tent in our backyard and my husband and I camp out there with them the sounds you can hear on a night like that are truly amazing one year we had foxes running past the tent about every 20 minutes making their weird strangled cries when they got back to the den we’d hear growls nips barks Yelps and all manner of noise as the young ones played and fought The Bard owls do the who cooks for you who cooks for you all call often during the day but at certain times of the year groups of them start in at dusk with what I call Monkey calls it’s quite chilling the first time you hear it I can’t describe it just imagine a bunch of monkeys doing their typical monkey chatter and you have it screech owls especially if they are near your home and I once had one perch on my chimney are another level and sound like the devil is screaming all this said I’ve heard a scream 25 years ago in South Missouri that had to come from such a large chest it truly frightened and Confused me my husband also heard it and to this day has no no idea what it was we were camping at marac state park it was deep and long and induced Terror in your heart whatever it was it was above the campground close to the river we both sat straight up in our sleeping bags looking at each other and said WTF was that I was raised in those Hills and have never heard of them before or since I was out hunting with my older brother and his best friend a few years ago I want to say 2016 we had been walking along a trail for a good 5 km at least on one side of this Trail is a decent drop and then a river and on the other side is a decent uphill section and a huge Pine Forest it was about 1:00 a.m. by this point and we were just sort of quietly talking to each other when a horrific noise split the air we all froze and looked at each other with an expression on our faces doing all the work what the [ __ ] was that we knew it came from up in the Pine Forest and where we are there aren’t any big predators or really anything out there that we should be scared of so we shouldered our rifles and headed up to find out exactly what made this sound I wish we hadn’t we got to a clearing and the trees were thinning out and my brother flicked on his Spotlight big bright [ __ ] with excellent range way up ahead of us was the strangest looking figure I’ve seen like the general shape of a wolf but just off it was just stopped on the edge of another Tree Line further up the hill looking right at us facing side to side my brother’s friend and I had our rifles trained on it trying to get a good look we couldn’t count out the fact that it was another hunting dog that was lost so we against my gut feeling went up after it as we went up after it it became increasingly obvious that this thing was watching us very intently the closer we got the more we realized this was definitely not a hunting dog it was big it was really big and just the way it moved and its entire demeanor was just so unsettling we kept two rifles on it and one in the opposite direction slowly made our way back down and haven’t been back there since don’t really talk about it either as we still don’t know what we saw and people usually jump to the [ __ ] conclusion because like I said before where we live there’s not really any big predators I’d love to share a story my uncle told in 1992 he owned about 150 acres in a remote area of East Tennessee on this land he had a large fishing pond and a stream running through it and he used to leave lines out at night to pull in big catfish this Pond was accessible by two small game Trails through thick patches of wood and he would need to drive to the trail entrances from his house near the front of the property and walk about a half mile in with his gear and nothing but a headlamp for light this was something he did pretty often and my uncle was a lover of the outdoors so this was business as usual for him Vietnam vet as well anyway this particular night in July 1992 he went down to the pond at about 9:30 p.m. to check his lines as he was doing so he heard a loud Splash and assumed it was a fish jumping he carried on with what he was doing and then h a low guttural groan and what he described as monkeys flighting just on the other side of the pond it was about 70 yards across multiple loud splashes occurred and he also heard a loud crash in the woods just yards away to his left he talked about how he immediately felt a sense of panic and was attempting to get visuals using his head lamp but whatever was producing these sounds was behind a tree cover he said that the woods then erupted and continued sounds of fighting monkeys and he opted to drop his gear and run down the trail toward his truck apparently even in his adrenaline fueled State he could hear his foot fall to his left as he was being hunted he got to to his truck and hauled us out of there to the road and back to his home which mind you sits on the property about 6 Mi away he went inside and locked every window and door grabbed a gun and stayed up and Vigilant the entire night but nothing more occurred he called my dad the next day who sort of just laughed it off well for my uncle whatever he experienced scared him so badly that he put his land up for sale and sold it a few months later until he died in 2017 he would maintain that he believes that he walked into a group of Sasquatch and they erup in territorial displays to get him out of there he never enjoyed the outdoors after that this wasn’t a man who I took for a liar so this happened in 2002 in Brazil me and my friends went camping in a forest in Mona similar to the appalaches we were in a group of seven people and everyone brought a gun pistols rifles and machetes not an AR-15 in case we had to protect ourselves from Bandits or something like this we were pretending to stay 4 days in the woods our camping site was about 1 and 1/2 miles from the main road we made camp in the afternoon and when night came we lit a fire drank and ate locked and everything was good around 1: p.m. it started raining and it extinguished our fire so we turned hour very bad electric lights on when it started first the cattle of a nearby Farm started making a lot of noise the birds woke up and started screaming like crazy this went for around an hour then suddenly it all stoped full and Mortal silence all animals stoed making noise at this point we were terrified with our guns loaded we made a circle all of us were in the military and one of us was in the bopi a special ops police unkillable Lads then we heard movement near us something was watching us from a near distance we couldn’t tell where because of the noise of the rain to worse our situation one of our electric lights went off how cliche I thou an we were in darkness surrounded by something in full silence that’s when we heard the scream I can’t even describe it it was a very high-pitched sound that lasted for a long time about a minute a lening fell in the woods and for seconds I saw it a very tall skinny thing with humanoid traits it just wasn’t human very long arms and black eyes we then packed up as fast as possible ran to the car and left I didn’t sleep for a few nights after that incident I come from a big country family we live on a farm we raise our own food and meet animals and we hunt and process my dad’s first cousin is even a licensed taxidermist so we get a lot of hunting in for a bit more back story on the homestead I grew up on and still live on it was my parents my Pop’s first cousin and his wife me and my four sisters and my four female second cousins so there are four adults and nine kids and sometimes my Pop’s brother comes to stay with us too especially when hunting season is starting up so hunting season dear is going on and my pops his brother Uncle Kay and the cousin we live with Uncle V are all getting ready to go hunting some of us kids decide to tag along me 12 my sister s 15 and my cousin a 14 we go out further into the woods than we normally do set up camp Etc important fact during the time we’re setting up my pops and uncles are being quiet while the three of us kids talk my voice hasn’t changed this is important us kids keep chattering away while the adults are just letting us get our energy out while they check the Survival equipment make sure the guns are clean and working Etc strong silent Southern t haha there’s a rustling in the thick brush around us and suddenly three creepy looking guys enter the clearing they stopped Dead one of them has a hand on his knife on his belt they are clearly drunk as [ __ ] they keep looking between A and S and my pops and uncles like they are debating something my pops and uncles stand up last bit of backstory every dude in my family is [ __ ] off huge I’m 19 now and I’m 6′ 5 in my dad is the biggest at 6′ 10 in 280 just deeply intimidating man and so are uncles V and K the guys laugh nervously as my uncle V picks up one of the freshly clean rifles and points it at them these dudes start running out of the clearing like the devil is after them my pops immediately says we’re clearing out my uncles don’t even question it and neither do as kids we’re freaking out and we totally take things down sloppy but my Pops doesn’t say anything about us messing up his camping equipment we get back into cell service and my dad calls the cops about seeing those [ __ ] but the cops don’t seem to think it’s serious since nothing happened it’s at that moment that I realized a s and me with my unchanged voice were the only ones these guys could hear talking they thought they’d come across a camp of three girls by themselves I don’t want to even think about what would have happened if my dad and uncles hadn’t been there I was once canoeing The Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Canada these aren’t your normal backyard ponds The Boundary Waters are thousands of enormous Lakes interconnected with each other think many great Great Lakes we had been canoeing and camping along the lakes for about a week at this point we didn’t really have an itinerary we just plant a boat Camp fish and live off the land for 2 weeks we had a GPS and a satellite phone to call a helicopter for pickup whenever we were done anyway about a week in we were set to canoe a few hours to the next Lake an hour or so in and we are in the center of an extremely long and narrow Lake unfortunately a storm started to blow in and the waves on the lake swelled to two plus feet too much for our dinky canoes we pull off at a random clearing on the shore and set up camp in a rush to avoid being totally thrashed by a rainstorm we just set up camp and hunkered down for the night by the next morning it had cleared up we started walking up the coast of the lake about 200 ft from our camp looking for a good fishing spot what we actually found was another campsite however it was absolutely wrecked trash strewn everywhere tents collapsed and torn clothes on the ground at first we were just just disgusted like what [ __ ] did this or left their [ __ ] out to be bare food the more we looked around though the weirder thing seemed for one their garbage was still hoisted into a tree to keep it safe from bears but the whole bag was ripped open despite being 30 ft in the air second literally everything except the canoes were still at the campsite clothes packs food rope and pants are like a serious set of hiking equipment enough for two or three people half of it was trashed and torn open most mostly the packs tent and clothes the other half was totally untouched but thrown on the ground like somebody noped the hell out of there in nothing but their long johns ditching hundreds of dollars of gear in the process we waited a couple hours and eventually called it back to our helicopter crew but they hadn’t been aware of anybody else or gotten any distress calls we eventually just left everything and moved Camp everybody was pretty upset by it and a day or too later we ended the whole trip early because it seemed like nobody wanted to be out anymore it was the weirdest thing I’d ever seen the first thought was a bare attack but there was food left uneaten and I’ve seen bare attacks on camps before but nothing like this Bears rip open packs and go after food and they are generally pretty easy to scare away what still sticks with me is why all their clothes and packs were still there with half being totally destroyed and half being untouched I still don’t get it I’ve done a lot of other camping hiking rafting and biking all around the country and I’ve never had any other weird experiences like that I live in South Spain near some really Ancient Forest called Los Alor noals which is some kind of tree that is almost extent and only grows here and in another two or so places it’s a bit of Rocky terrain and if you ever are walking in the forest and try to climb some rocks you should be really careful because usually you can have caves and Hollow spaces under your feet and you can fall easily so my father and his friends usually go hiking on Thursdays so they don’t find anyone in the woods besides maybe a Shepherd or a forest worker and on this day they decided to climb a really large and Rocky Hill my Uncle Frank remembered that when he was young he slept in a little cave when he went hunting and got lost and he wanted to try to find that cave after a few hours they find the cave it was covered in Moss and grime but it was definitely the same cave one of my father’s friends John tried to get as far as possible into the cave because he was in really good shape and wanted to see all of it the rest of them waited outside suddenly Jon started screaming and calling for my father he went inside and turned on his torch inside the cave was a really weird Shrine or something like that with candles two apples bones pieces of coal and ashes on the ground a pair of gloves a pot and a pan Etc everything looked really old and Dusty and it was clear it hadn’t been touched in a long time my father went to the shrine and it had a little bowl and when he looked inside there was something that looked like human teeth when they got out they packed up all their things and got out of there really fast my father refuses to hike around there anymore and they started hiking on the other side of the hill and into the woods all of this was really strange and I’ve never heard of something like this before I don’t know anything about Voodoo or this kind of thing but my father said it looked like some Voodoo Shrine or some stuff like that if any of you guys know something like this I would appreciate an explanation I was hiking through the remnants of a remote long abandoned town in the surrounding area to get as far into the woods as I was you had to cross Fallen trees over a creek three times I had just crossed the third bridge and was about 5 miles in when something blue caught my at just ahead of me there was a man at least in his 60s wearing blue satin pajamas sitting in a tree the closer I got to him the louder he laughed it wasn’t a maniacal laugh but it set off all the alarms in my head nonetheless he also wasn’t wearing any shoes and looked well- groomed and clean I gave him a friendly nod as I passed and he just kept laughing then it stopped I turned and he was gone there was no Branch cracking no plant rustling nothing he was just gone it still rubs me the wrong way the area I was in was a pretty rough hike and very secluded not very many people Venture as deep as I did that day I had no idea what was going on there I’ve spent a lot of time in Fairly wild places and never had an incident that I couldn’t explain it doesn’t make them much less scary though when you figure out it’s a cougar bear moose or strange human it’s not like you exhale and relax the scariest moment for me to date was the grizzly that was circling our camp in the dusk at about 20 M I packed my family into the car as fast as we could move but it wouldn’t have been fast enough if the bear had attacked I really regret it I feel that I failed as a parent because it’s only luck that nothing horrible happened I don’t think I’ll ever forget seeing its green eyes bobbing and swaying in my headlamp it briefly rushed our vehicle as we left two scary as [ __ ] edit the closest I ever came to an inexplicable moment was when I was walking through Trail less black spruce up north in the fall and suddenly hit a wall of odor the likes of which I’d never smelled before it stopped me in my tracks some instinct told me that it was a bull moose and sure enough in about 20 more MERS there was a clearing with a massive bull it was ruding season so I got the hell out I was driving from Tucson to Denver in the middle of the night I got tired was pulling off and crawled in a sleeping bag in the desert far away from the two-lane blacktop I was on Highway 666 BTW it’s since been renamed because everybody was stealing the signs anyway pull off the road onto a dirt road and then a little further I kind of hid the truck behind some vegetation and tossed down a sleeping bar and Pad in the middle of a pitch black huge star New Mexico night no one around no light nothing at all visibility for Miles I’m completely [ __ ] alone in Pitch Black nothing and getting wound down in my eyes is getting droopy then I heard it it sounds goofy to say but it’s the same Indian music you’d hear in old black and white westerns native music voices and a drum I literally think I’m dreaming and when it starts I’m [ __ ] petrified because that noise just appearing out of nowhere simply puts ice in my veins relax a little unfreeze and try to be logical about what I’m hearing which has no physical manifestation of its origin so think logically now instead of pure panic I could be on the reservation at this point perhaps it’s coming from behind a previously unseen Hill I get up and look around I don’t see anything at all it kind of comes and goes in volume it doesn’t seem to be coming from a direction I have no clue I looked for evidence and didn’t find any I crawled back in the bag because I’ve been driving for hours and they sang All Night logic tells me it had to be a group of people I didn’t see but I looked and there were no ancillary noises like talking or stopping or anything just that Indian drum and the hiya what was originally terrifying became calming and I ended up sleeping fantastically later I learned that it was a terrible stretch of road for very bad things to happen it sort of lived up to its 666 moniker for wrecks and bad [ __ ] occurring apparently about 20 years ago I had just finished my degree and was bummed because I couldn’t find a job a former roommate SLG good friend and I went on an overnight backpack trip near Bur Oak State Park in Southeast Ohio at about 2:00 a.m. we were awoken in our tent by the sound of dozens of horses being ridden all around us we could hear muted conversation harness jingling ho clopping and we could feel it shaking the ground we laid in our tent and the sound just kept on like a whole Convoy was passing right beside us after a few minutes we unzipped the tent and the sounds immediately ceased and nothing was there it was freaky we were afraid they were going to ride over us it was so intense I have no idea who or what it was but we’re camped on a trail that had been used by John Morgan Hunt’s Confederate Raiders during the Civil War it was not a logical explanation but it was deafening that there were so many horses I can still hear men’s voices murmuring as they rode by next morning not a single hoofprint was found mine was not of monsters but of humans my friends and I were high in the woods deep in the Sierra Nevadas in the California back country and decided to travel a few miles off a path to reach a river and shoot at Targets with our 22 the path is littered with deer bones and claw marks from bears so we’re freaking out a bit but finally make it to where we set up camp I noticed that in the distance about a half mile Upstream from the river the there are two men walking towards us in the exact Direction We Are firing our gun I yell at the guys for them to stop shooting and we just watch these men why died and in their late 20s and early 30s walking quickly alongside the river when suddenly they both decide to jump in I should say at this point that the river is moving very quickly could easily sweep you under and is definitely not safe for a casual swim we watch as both men are Swept Away towards us Downstream one of my friends we’ll call him Mike decides to be brave and get close to the edge and extend a piece of of wood for them to grab as they’re about to pass us both the men latch on and Mike is the hero pulling them to shore when everyone caught their breath we asked the men what they were doing out here as it’s super remote and they were at least 3 or 4 miles from the nearest Trail and why they both jumped in the deadly river they gave us short answers like oh we were just having fun boys and just free swimming in the river while they were learing at us immediately the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and every fiber in my body tells me they mean us harm we tell them we’re going to head back to the trail and they say they’re coming with us given that we’re so far off from civilization and these guys are clearly high on something and a danger to themselves we reluctantly agreed to allow them to follow us it was the most quiet hike of my life I felt them trying to feel out if they could take us in a fight there were three of us and two of them and we had 22 but were young squirly adults I don’t know how to explain it but the hike was us constantly positioning against each other with body language without ever directly fighting they would get close to the gun and try to both be near it then we would counter by getting between them and the gun as naturally as possible while hiking up a path that was littered with bare claw marks and dung we finally make it to the car and they decide we weren’t suitable targets and move on I have no idea what two random guys were doing risking their lives in a freezing cold raging River in the Sierra Nevadas or why they felt the need to size up if they could attack three random teens but I’m glad nothing happened that day when I was six my babysitter was this nice middle-aged lady and her equally nice husband my twin brother and I were always at their house in the summer and we hung out with the couple’s two grandkids another boy and girl siblings set of similar ages this was literally my happy place this lady had the best movie collection for a 6-year-old it is where I saw The Last Unicorn for the first time as well as The Little Mermaid The Great Mouse Detective the first land before time and The Brave Little Toaster and her husband was a phenomenal cook by a kid standard every day was chicken nugget and pizza day they had kid- siiz four-wheelers a pool a huge kids playhouse and a jungle gym set up in the backyard and they put on the best Fourth of July show in the county for years six-year-old me was the happiest girl on the freaking planet they were some of the wealthiest people in our area two neither one of them worked so I have no idea where the money came from but I didn’t care one day Midsummer the two boys were being typical boys and a little girl and I thought they were being mean in reality the boys wanted to play war or something and the girls wanted to play wedding or something similarly stupid whatever she and I were sad and we refused to play with the boys instead we decided to go pick flowers that grew at the edge of the forest we thought it was a baby’s breath but it was really just poison hemlock seriously kids right so we are walking along the edge of this dense forest in the middle of banjo country in Southern Ohio this was in 1990 so we weren’t worried about stranger danger because we were just so far out of in the country the adults did worry about animals from time to time because the next County over has bears and mountain lions but as six-year-olds were Fearless we ended up walking onto the neighbors’s property to pick up these flowers when we found a break in the tree line it was an old well-worn path leading into the woods for whatever reason I.E we were dumb she and I decided to ditch our flowers and take the path in the woods and see what it led to the path itself was unremarkable well worn but unmaintained as there were tree roots growing up through the path in places We Came Upon a little bridge at one point we were both a little confused about it because we had been told there were no creeks in our area yet here was a bridge it wasn’t a particularly Old Bridge either but the creek bed under it was dry as a bone weird we kept going because why not I guess I’m not sure how far we walked beyond the bridge but we ended up in a clearing with stones all around it in a circle the clearing was big enough that there was a gap in the trees that allowed the sunlight in and in the middle of the the circle was a massive stonewalled well it was big enough that there were stairs built into the damn walls in a huge spiral my little friend was mesmerized by the well she found a rock and tossed it in we never heard it hit the bottom as we were searching for more rocks to throw in I was rooting around in the brush by the bigger stones and actually looked at the big ones these were not normal Stones nope I was a smart cookie already reading at a third grade level the summer before first grade something I love to show off to anyone that would sit still for 3s seconds or more so I could read the stupid Stones there were names and dates cut into rough he Stone we were in a [ __ ] graveyard in the middle of the woods far away from our adults I remember getting chills realizing this moments later my little friend got really quiet and poked me she pointed to the edge of the clearing on the other side of the well thankfully not the side that we had entered the graveyard on my little heart would have exploded I think she was pointing at a dark figure standing just inside the woods facing us we both stood up very slowly and stared at this dark shape at some point the little girl took my hand and tried to get me to leave but I couldn’t move the fear was paralyzing it didn’t move until the clouds covered the Sun and our bright inviting clearing became slightly shadowy then the shape moved it was an adult-sized thing wearing long dark robes with a hood over its face we were stupid kids but we weren’t that [ __ ] stupid we both turned tails and ran as fast as our little legs allowed my friend was faster than me because I was a chunker a kid with a love of reading in movies and pizza is overweight who would have thought it so she made it to the bridge first I wasn’t far behind her though I looked back after we got over the bridge and that [ __ ] was standing at the edge of the bridge I was just standing there I screamed pissed myself and kept running I tripped over a tree root in the path ripping my pants and shredding my knee in the process I scrambled up and kept running we burst out of the trees like our hair was on fire screaming and crying and made a beine for the girl’s grandparents’ house her grandfather was in the backyard planning something and came running when he heard us we were absolutely hysterical and nothing could calm us down we spent hours sobbing while the Grandma and Grandpa got us bathed and in clean clothes and tried to sooth us the more they said there was no one in the woods the more hysterical we became it took both of us months before we’d even go onto the back deck again everyone was convinced we made up the story with our hyperactive imaginations but the adults humored us the kids not so much the next summer we were forced into the backyard for the annual Fourth of July party tons of kids they all knew our story and one of the teenage boys a badass don’t you know called [ __ ] he bullied us for hours until we told him where the path in the woods was and then he made us go with him another incident of me pissing my pants yay to my utter relief when we got to where she and I both remembered the path being there was nothing no path just a very heavy growth of Hemlock he tried to Wade through it and ended up with chers from neck to foot and he got in a ton of trouble for dragging us kids down there once we got back so she and I were relieved not to go back but from then on all those kids thought we were Stone Cold Liars fast forward 15 years later 16 years after this all happened my mom mentioned that the grandpa passed away a few months prior while I was off to school I was 22 at that point and had mostly forgotten the events in the woods I expressed my condolences and asked what happened I mean this guy was a friend of my mom’s for 20 plus years my mom started being evasive so I got curious and pressed her she said that he had hung himself in their garage Jesus wow okay that sucks and then she told me the bad part his granddaughter my little friend was the one who found his body all around him were notebooks with crazy person writings that he had amassed over a very long time some dating back to the early 1970s apparently detailing his dealings with demons and spirits and other crazy things he had left notes for all of his loved ones the note for his granddaughter was an apology for not protecting her from the demon at the well and the note for his wife was an apology for leaving her as it was the only way to protect her and the other people he loved it seems that the explanation for their wealth was deal struck with the demons after a few Decades of these deals they started coming to collect on the debts the old man owed and what they wanted was for him to kill his family in payment so he killed himself instead it was the craziest thing I had ever heard but it made total [ __ ] sense everyone wrote the guy off as having a serious mental health issue they threw the journals away buried him and moved on no investigations nothing I can rationalize everything we saw and experienced as some kind of weird psychological reaction to picking Hemlock that wouldn’t explain how both of us had the exact same delusion though I know what I saw was real I might not remember all the details nearly 30 years after the fact but I remember the fear and I still have a scar on my knee that has never faded I’m not afraid of the woods the dark or anything but I have very healthy respect for the dead and I don’t [ __ ] with demon [ __ ] in the immortal words of Ducky nope nope nope my friend and I were hiking in the woods he was at the camp and I went to check on things about half a mile away suddenly as if someone had flipped a switch the woods became silent no wind no rustling leaves no birds just the most Eerie silence I’ve experienced after a few minutes it suddenly went back to normal Forest noises thinking I must have had a seizure temporary deafness or something I hurry back to Camp only to see a friend standing there with a confused or scared look on his face I must have had a similar look because he immediately asked if I heard the silence we tried to come up with an explanation but absolute silence in the woods seems impossible even more so that it was so sudden I’ve lived on the high desert for most of my life 6,000 above sea level if you’re wondering I was out riding my horse alone in the the absolute middle of BFE in the Badlands no trees and hardly any brush to speak of so sounds carry a long way and there is nowhere to hide for long when all of a sudden his ears perked up I feel my skin start to crawl like we’re being watched my normally mellow geling starts to panic I start to feel really dizzy and my horse stumbles I blacked out I come an hour or so later about 3 mil away from the inciting incident still on my horse he is frothing with sweat and shaking all over I’m still not sure what happen happened I had plenty of water and snacks it was 65 is degrees and Breezy so I don’t believe weather or dehydration SL hunger were a factor I have never before or after had a figting spell and that was the most reliable quiet horse I’ve ever owned I now have a serious case of the heie jeebies again just thinking about it we lived on the hy/ Navajo reservation growing up my mom and I were feeding the horses very early in the morning before I went to school it was still almost completely dark out when we heard this low dim humming noise the horses start acting really nervous hours included sweating pacing nostrils flared eyes showing white the works we feed them and walk out of the barn or shack trying to figure out what’s happened we look up after scanning The Horizon for anything squinting as best as we could and there is a black triangle– like thing hovering right over us it was almost completely silent it was perfectly over us so you couldn’t see it unless you look straight up and it felt like it was so close I could touch it it was pretty damn long large too like a long triangle smooth and black thinking back it was actually quite impressive and beautiful mom grabbed me and ran back into the shed this was before cell phones were really a thing so she just clutched me and told me not to make a sound we waited for what felt like ages but it was probably only two to three more minutes the horses weren’t even eating they just paced the shed inside back and forth finally the horses started settling down to eat and my mom went outside it was gone we felt like we had the flu the rest of the day and I stayed home we never told my dad I think it was some sort of military aircraft since around the reservation there are quiet secret military setups but who knows a couple good friends of mine fight fires and in the summers in Washington state business is usually booming this year a fair-sized crew of about 10 of them is digging lines miles and miles deep into the Cascades I’m talking about being 60 Mi away from anything in the middle of nowhere as they’re hiking through they come to a clearing and there’s two landed Blackhawk helicopters and about seven fully armed military personnel they all Point their rifles at the fire crew and demand to know what they are doing there my friend tells them they’re doing fire digs and they’re scheduled to be up there they are told to turn around and forget that they saw anything up there my friend says but this is government work we have to do this this is our job a military guy says not today you’re done get the [ __ ] out of here now some serious Chronicle type [ __ ] I’ve never wanted to know so badly about what the hell was going on out there not my story but my dad’s when my dad was in his 20s he was staying with my mom at a small cabin in the woods of Colorado it was fairly remote there was another cabin about a mile away and a camping ground maybe 3 mil down the valley late one afternoon he was out fishing on a nearby River by himself as the light started fading he decided to call it a day and head back to the cabin for dinner as he was walking back through the woods he got an eerie feeling that he was being watched but he couldn’t see anyone or anything he kept walking back and then suddenly he heard a stick break behind him he stopped looking back for the source of the sound but still didn’t see anything he nervously kept walking back a little quicker and then heard another stick break WHL around and still nothing this happens like three or four times but every time he stopped to listen and look there was total silence and nothing else moving by the time he finally made it back to the cabin it was nearly dark he never did find out what was following him but whatever it was left him alone after that his best guess was that a mountain lion was stalking him or something really unsettling though

Hey Friends have Fantastic Day & Night 😊🙏
Love you Dr. Hollowed!!! Keep up the good work
Ahh these kinds of stories are some of the best ones
Months later and these videos still get me thru my long hour shifts 🔥
These videos are my favorite.
Can you bring back the old transition sound that was like two bangs or something instead of the static? It was nostalgic and i miss it. thanks ❤
Second story, you'd friend runs to someone screaming for help. You don't follow, you just wait for her and leave after 30 of standing around. Either someone wrote a character whose a bad person or if this is real then he's a bad person.
Love your content man, best stuff to listen to get anxiety while doing homework in a room by yourself at night.
Love all of y’all have a wonderful night hope this makes someone smile I mean it with all my heart 💜 hope y’all have a blessed night
The roommate one yes the roommate is lazy and a waste of space. What a scumbag to just leave someone like that
I'm from Eastern Canada and there are definitely still cougars around. There was 2 verified patches of fur found in Fundy in 2003, and there is a video of 3 of them in Nova Scotia from 2018. I seen one near Port Hawksbury in 2015 and there was a guy walking his dog that definitely seen it too because it was about 20 meters away from him. I was driving towards the causeway and he was walking into the woods through the snow on the side of the highway and the cougar was 20ish meters away doing the same thing, walking into the woods from the road. There are plenty who have seen them but not many who have any proof unfortunately!
The werewolf story for Wisconsin in Tomah / Sparta.., my brother and I lived exactly 50 yards from Fort McCoy property literally across the street the highway he's talking about taking next to the interstate is Highway 16 runs parallel with interstate I've lived in Wisconsin up until the last 10 years over 40 years in that state I've seen Dogman or werewolves whatever you want to call them Bigfoot type creatures and pretty much anything else you want to consider a spaceships alien type things in the woods it seems to me that a lot of military bases have these dogmen around them. As a youngster I raised a lot of Hell in a town called Portage I used to sleep outside when I was 12 years old back behind the railroad tracks there's some government property back there also some hunting land and I've been seeing Dogman since I was about 12 years old
"And the hiyaya HI Ya"
Still makes me laugh.
"I have never heard a bear make this much noise" – yes, you have, but you think it was Bigfoot. 😀
I love this channel. I think timestamps would be a great addition!
"The hooves of a cow"
They do know deer have hooves too right?
Those absolute idiots camping who did NOT JUST LEAVE in the boyfriend's car! They could have gone back the next day to get their car, jesus christ u gotta be fucking dumb
These youtube ads are getting so dumb. Always some idiot recording themselves talking about some bs while they are driving for sum reason.
The guy who just left his roommate in the woods is a massive pos. There was obviously something bad happening, he should have followed her to make sure she was safe. Or ran back to the campus and called the police to look for her if he was too much of a coward to do it himself. But to just go home and go on with his night as if nothing was wrong is horrible. What a self centred loser.
Imagine wanting to connect with your roommate so you convince him to join you for a walk. Not only are you forced to listen to him babble on about FNaF lore of all things, but the wanker proceeds to abandon your ass at the first sign of inconvenience.
Hoofbeats that come up to you and disappear?
It's spectral knights charging you while banging ghostly coconut shell halves together.
Last story was a bit long and off topic
The scariest possibility for many of these stories isn't ghosts, mythical creatures or dangerous predatory animals but the most dangerous predator, man.
Someone who chooses to live out there is potentially very dangerous.
Not me living in nb canada and this being the first story
I miss the old piano music 😢
cougars cannot have melanism, which is the genetic abnormality that can make some big cats black. look it up. they literally can't be black. sorry but that story is a bunch of drunks/loons that dont know what they are seeing and some idiot kid believing them
You will fear the mighty Pluma!!!
Usually, I enjoy these stories well enough, but many of these stories in this compilation are clearly bullshit.
The actions of a lot of people in their "stories" make zero sense.
Also the stories from those with bad grammar, shaky English and those trying to be Stephen King aren't exactly helping either. Ugh.
Here for the wrestling
Story 3:12 can’t be true that was the craziest shit i ever heard in my life I had to go back to the end what the man said about her roommate he said she was the murderer was insane 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
second guy has me howling wtf
Have been in the outdoors for most of my 53yrs. on earth, humans are the scariest thing in the woods.
50:02 I’ve experienced this in Afghanistan on deployment back in 2011. It was the middle of the night and I got up to take a piss. I could hear this horse charging me. I heard it and could feel the ground rumbling. I pulled out my knife and braced myself and it just ran right past me. Even though it was pitch black outside I know nothing was there. When I got back to my position my buddy who was on watch asked me what was wrong because he saw me through his night vision goggles square up with my knife. I told him what happened and he said he didn’t see anything around me. Very weird.
1:21:30
Sleep paralysis. Scary shit. Just keep your eyes closed NO MATTER WHAT and ride it out.
Love your content and thank you for reading all of those to all of us.❤
This totally freaked me out. It blew my mind. I just freaked.
Or… hear me out… aboriginal methheads.
Lived very close to story one and I don't remember any stories about the cats but my mother worked a night shift, got home shortly after 2 am on garbage night. A garbage bag picked up another and walked away great big bear! Also she has open curtains only to be face to face with a moose.
