Let me know your thoughts on Trent's comment regarding Feral People possibly being responsible for some of the unfortunate happenings in National Parks.
I have a crazy story that you may be interested in. Back in the early 2010s I went on a solo backpacking trip in late april up to cold mountain in the George Washington national forest in VA. The entire hike, I didn't hear a single animal. The whole mountain seemed silent. I made it to my first camp site, set up camp and made dinner, but I just had this really bad uneasy feeling like something was wrong.. I settled down in my tent for the night, but shortly after I did that, the temp dropped from mid 60s to below freezing in about 30 mins.. I went from feeling fine to freezing cold. Frost formed on the inside tent walls, and the hot tea I made literally froze in the cup. Then around 2am I got this sudden feeling of panic and urge to just bail and get back to my car... there was something telling me to just leave my gear since it was heavy, and as long as I got back to my car I'd be okay.. the trail was extremely steep, and if I listened to that urge, I guarantee I wouldn't have made it. I found out about the Missing 411 phenomenon years later, and found out that there is a cluster of missing person cases right in the area I was camping.. I think I may be a potential survivor of missing 411 cases. I'd be happy to give you more details if you are interested. My email is bllymcbride@yahoo.com
@@darkwilderness2392 I also have a few photos of the campsite, and the map I used to get there (didn't have GPS on my phone then) Looking forward to talking to you!
I lived in the wilds of the Appalachians. I can confirm that just because you are in the country does not mean you are safe from the most dangerous animal . . . HUMANS!
Some years ago, my wife and I were coming back up north after a trip down in Virginia. We were traveling through Smokey Mountain national Forest and it was just dark right after sundown. Well, a small black bear cub ran out across the road in front of us and my wife who was driving at the time laid right hard on the brakes. As we were watching the cub run down over the bank, a man that was filthy as anybody I’ve ever seen was dragging a tent and a sleeping bag in one hand and holding the hand of a filthy child with the other hand, came running across the road and headed right in the same direction that the bear went and completely out of sight. We sat there, absolutely stunned at what we saw. I know I’ll never forget it. I couldn’t even imagine what the hell was happening.
I tell people if you are going to go camping in the smocky mountains. 90 percent of the time you are going to be safe. But make sure you always bring a gun. Never go camping/hiking alone. Always bring a dog with you. The dog will alert you to anything weird. Also I personally don't sleep in a tent. I sleep in a hammock. Because I'm off the ground and I can better react if something or someone sneaks up on me.
@@alexcobb880Not just no, but HELL no..... To my knowledge, after over 45 years of law enforcement and related fields, Tennessee citizens are not required to have carry, or concealed, permits. However Federal law prohibits the carrying of any firearms in National parks or in state parks. Another "however" is do you want to be alive and uninjured but charged with possession of a firearm? I am not advising or advocating anyone to break ANY kind of law, city, state or federal just raising a hypothetical issue. Many laws are not in your best interest and must be flavored with common sense. Sadly, it would seem that the most sensible thing in this day and age would be to NOT camp in any park where you are deemed to be completely defenseless against animal, or human animals. Yes, you can bring a knife or axe but how effective is either one going to be against anything capable of mortally injuring you or your family? Not very. The Smokies have bear, mountain lion, poisonous snakes, large birds of prey, and hundreds of other dangerous things to injure or kill you. Especially if you are hiking or camping on your own. I have trained and worked in some of the most dangerous countries in the world and wouid be reluctant to hike or especially camp by myself in a park like the Smokies. Also my age would make it definitely more dangerous. Knowledge without proper conditioning makes these endeavors foolish. As to firearms, their signaling capability makes them almost more valuable than as actual defensive weapons. Fire off enough shots in any park within earshot of ANYONE and the calvary will be responding. Yes, you most likely will be charged to some degree but that's a small price to pay for being alive. I imagine you could only carry blank ammunition to signal with or frighten off an attacker but unless the firearm will only fire blanks the possibility of charges still remains. In fact, any thing that causes that much concern should probably be ignored all together. As trained up and as experienced as I am I would not camp, on purpose, anywhere that my vehicle could not go. I do not travel light.....weapons, ammo, medical gear, food, water, body armor, super flashlights and other light sources, etc. Primitive? Not a fan even tho most of my youth spent in some degree of poor. Sorry for rambling on, PTSD and me. Plus I have been injured to death on two occasions and I do not reccomend it. rick in Tennessee.
Feral people are scary as hell. They are all over the most remote parts of the nation. It’s the only life they know and when they see people hiking in their areas they instinctively hunt to protect what they believe is their land. Pine box tales had a really good in depth story about feral people
it is their territory. most are into self preservation. one lived in the thick woods behind my grand daddys property. his name was Hog Martin and he always carried a large feed sack. the grown people were terrified of him but us kids thought he was great. he taught us a lot about setting snares and building rabbit traps. we were all the time sneaking off to his shack but we knew to holler for him when we were about 50 ft away. he taught us how to catch and clean rattlesnakes. he could catch them by hand. we would take him things from the garden and he would give us something he had whittled. it was just the way he lived and he was good to us. we had a fort up in the woods we lived in on the weekends. we were ages 4-12 and took a .410 shotgun and a .22 rifle with us. the adults knew when they heard a shot from our way that we had dinner. Hog Martin would come and hang with us sometimes. he knew we were good shots and did not miss. saw him take out a wild hog with an axe to the head once.
Are Feral People exclusively an American phenomenon, or do they exist in other countries, as well? (I’m sure they’re in short supply in Monaco, for example, but you know what I mean, large enough developed countries, say, and not indigenous tribal peoples like the natives of Amazonia, but people who have dropped out of modern society and gone feral and live permanently in the wild.)
I don't know if it's worth mentioning. (by the way, love the channel) This was a story Teddy Roosevelt told about when he was working as a cowboy in Dakota. He was making a trip alone from one ranch to a trading post. He had made the decision to cross as nearly close to a straight line from one to the other. So he heads out, knowing that he'll be camping out on the prairie between the two. As he was making his way, he crossed a stream. Not deep, but enough to obviously have fish. He saw that the tall grass was trampled around the crossing, so he assumed there was game in the area. He decided to set a trap, and continue on towards a hillock he saw like a mile in the distance. He gets to the hillock, sets up his camp in the lee of the hill, and sets his gear out: a pan for whatever he catches, a knapsack, just regular stuff, and he then sets back out towards the stream to get his trap. On the way to the stream, he starts to hear this low wheezing coming from the long grass, maybe thirty or so feet from him. And what interested him was that he never seemed to walk PAST it. The wheezing was always there...low, and off into the grass. He gets back to the stream, and locates his trap. As before, the grass is trampled. But his trap has been moved. Not sprung, not even moved very far. But it's been moved. So he takes the trap and starts heading back towards the camp. As he comes back, he keeps hearing this wheezing, but from further away. Like before, he never seems to walk past it: it's always there, just forty or fifty feet into the grass. He gets back to the campsite, and decides to just have some beef jerky and coffee to end the day. And as he's looking for his pot, it's nowhere to be seen. His pot is missing. But in it's place is a little doll made out of grass. So he packs up, continues on. And when he gets to the post he deliberately keeps what happened to himself: he knows that some of the folks out there still think he's a dude, so why give them more ammo, right? As he's resupplying in the store, he sees a guy he knows come in. So he walks over, says hi, and (with a little reluctance) tells him what happened...expecting the guy to laugh at him. And the guy just nods. "Yeah, the hairy man." Roosevelt is a bit taken aback. "The hairy man?" "Of course. Everyone around the area knows about the hairy man. Did he leave a doll behind?" Roosevelt was surprised: he deliberately hadn't mentioned that part, because who would believe him? He responded that there was indeed a grass doll where the pot had been. "Yeah, he does that. He's trading. Sometimes he messes with traps. Everyone who's been out here for awhile has a run in with the hairy man sooner or later." The guy wasn't shocked, he said that it was an infrequent occurrence. It never happened to Roosevelt again, but it stayed with him.
Thanks so much for sharing that. I am familiar with his story. The fact he was open about it really makes you wonder why the government now days is so hard set on not acknowledging them. Interesting fact, some of the US bases have them listed on the wildlife lists for the areas.
My take on it is it was an intellectually disabled hirsute man, not sasquatch (cuz I don't believe in them), living literally on the fringe of society. Still it's poignant that in his mind he believed that leaving grass dolls evened out his taking of something of another i.e. "trading".
@@pippishortstocking7913 Well you not believing does not alter the fact that they exist. Both Sasquatch and feral men as well as other strange hominids. So why does the government want to keep a lid on all of these things? Hiking,camping,national parks etc. are a multibillion $ annual business for the government. Normal everyday people would freak out if they were suddenly told “Hey folks,guess what, all that stuff you have been told doesn’t exist? Well it does”
This is a great channel. Trent is lucky his friends were looking out for him after he told them he couldn't keep up. Most of these Feral People stories take place in areas associated with Missing 411 cases.
I'm an old lady and I have lived here in the Smoky Mountains all my life. I knew an old man that worked for the park for 30 years. There's really Feral people out there. Scott Carpenter got a few clips of them
@@darkwilderness2392 I did run into him a couple of times at the old general store on Chillhowee Lake. Good decent man. When he started pointing the camera behind himself to record I was amazed . Best idea ever 😀
Really late to this party, but can anybody point me to the footage. I've believed in these stories for years, and have just been waiting on some kind of proof.
I remember back when I was a teenager in the 80s I was dating this girl. Her dad was a truck driver and he asked me one time do you believe in feral people and I said I’ve understood about them. He seen one in Tennessee during the night and he said it was terrified.😎💯
What a bedtime story! My kids are going to love this one. 😅 This feral people are you described at the end. There’re the missing people themselves. People who had enough of modern day society and love the outdoors and others have the outdoors in there souls like some people have music. But have mental problems. I live in remote area in the Florida Everglades and there’s feral people out there. Mostly Vietnam veterans and convicted criminals. I got a Vietnam vet that come to my house out of woods. He knows me and family well. I give him liquor and supplies. That’s what he wants. Then he goes in the woods and disappears for months. I haven’t seen him in a while.
I feel for those vets. A lot were drafted, sent over seas to serve their country, only to come home and be treated like trash. I don’t blame some for running off to wilds and living off the land far from society. Next time you see that fellow, thank him for his service. Thanks for sharing that, it’s very much appreciated.
Definitely NOT responsible for missing 411 cases.. Unless you think feral people have ability to cloak invisibility, move humans up and over mountains in short time, leave no tracks or scent for dogs, and then bring bodies back to the previously searched area days later
@@whataworld369 that is a good point, a lot of 411 cases are truly bizarre and have a specific set of criteria to be listed as part of missing 411. But they could be responsible for some of the missing people that do not fit into the requirements of missing 411.
@darkwilderness2392 oh, for sure they could be responsible for more normal cases of missing people in parks... Sorry, I guess I have tunnel vision for missing 411 cases and sort of forgot about all the others that are a bit less bizarre but missing nonetheless
I've 'tent camped' in those mountains several times in less traveled areas, but never heard of such a thing until recently, however, I know less wilderness means wild things on the move. This is hard to believe, but not impossible. It has made me think twice about going back. The idea of ferals is unsettling...
There is possibly less game around so they have gone to stealing supplies more and more to survive. Might make their way of life easier. Just a thought
Love these stories, I've lived near the smokies my whole life and heard these stories. It still baffles me why people go without any kind of protection. There's alot of stuff in those mountains that can unalive someone
It doesn’t explain why there is no sound when these people go missing, if feral people or bigfoot took someone, that person would be screaming. In all the missing 411 stories, there is no report of anyone screaming before they disappeared
@@jmuk3571 In the vast wilderness there might not be anyone to hear you scream. They probably sneak up on you while sleeping and you don’t get a chance to scream.
@KB8Killa listen to some of the rusty west videos about national park disappearances and you will see that a lot of ppl are found dead, missing shoes lol
This had trouble written all over it, Mr. DW. If I were Trent, I would have waited till my dirt bike was fixed. Why go on this trip if the other two have to keep waiting on you to keep up? Also - I agree with the cover up. Have you heard of the Dennis Martin disappearance in the Smoky Mountains about that six-year-old boy who was never found? It's part of Missing 411 and there's a lot of suspicions concerning the investigation - from possible feral people or maybe Sasquatch. Thanks for the story!
This could’ve gone so bad if Trent didn’t have friends who also happened to have a firearm there! This story is so scary cuz I truly believe this could happen to anyone who’s just a tad deeper into wilderness. This channel is great I found it randomly and totally love it👌❤️
they have to be responsible, its either them or bigfoot. the crazy thing is why are they being protected. i live in hawaii and the same thing goes down here. people missing never to be seen again, and we dont have feral people nor bigfoot here. in 1 yr 45 children just vanished and no one is doing anything about it. our world is not the same , its a sad thing
Some years ago I joined a guided tour through the Amazonas and Rio Negro, surrounded by millions of square kilometres of forest. You start to realize there are still uncontacted indigenous tribes which might be hostile. But it was a great time with lots of creepy crawlers, snakes, howler monkeys, birds and mysterious sounds...
Stories like this make me think the movies the hills have eyes or wrong turn are based on true events of people stumbling through the sticks into some feral hillbillies homestead would absolutely be terrifying
i do not even go to church unarmed. always sit in the far back right corner and watch the door. easier to take cover on the side of the pew and get a clear shot without endangering the other parishioners. several others have their spot and are armed also.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, its very much appreciated! I'm glad Jace was carrying his weapon.... who knows what could have happened if he wasn't.
@@darkwilderness2392 You be crazy not to have a handgun and maybe a shotgun or whatever ever no matter how inconvenient they might be to lug around out in the sticks.
LMAO I have one of those in my hunting party as well…. Unfortunately it’s usually me after dealing with cleaning everyone else’s game… the joys of being the quickest at it in the group I guess LOL
The guys probably went to the police, but they should have contacted the Park Rangers. I was one for 6 years. The Rangers are usually much more in sync with what and who are living in the woods. They generally take a different approach than regular law enforcement officers would. I can tell you from experience that if alcohol or drugs were involved at all that muddies up the stories a bit and causes any officer to search for an alternative motive for the incident. But if people are very sober and have a disturbing story it WILL be investigated if there is reason to do so. In my experience there are transients living in most federal parks. Mostly they just want to be left alone. But every now and then there would be an encounter that would become physical. I always carried food and water in my vehicle and offered it first to diffuse the tension. Unfortunately there are some folks living outdoors that need meds to stay mentally balanced, and they dont have them. Just stay wary, but not scared or paranoid and keep your distance. If you are in a place that allows firearms please be aware of local laws and regs concerning their use or brandishing.
I know this area . I also live in Knoxville. I visit there 3 -4 times a year trout fishing for a few days. This is definitely the area to experience such things. I don't wander far from camp at night. Nothing will keep me from going there though. It's too beautiful. I definitely try to prepare myself for anything. I go to pretty high altitudes to call people a couple of times. That's where you feel something , but you're also amazed at the scenery.
Im super jealous man! You should google "manitoba", pretty much just prairie west of Winnipeg. The fast eastern side gets hilly because of the start of the Canadian Shield, but other than that, were pretty flat up here.
@@darkwilderness2392 I definitely will Google it. I can't deal with too much flat land and noisy mountain water though. 😂 With the constant background noise , you can always hear other noises strangely. At least I can.
I think it is absolutely possible there is a lot of strange disappearances it is very possible that feral people are responsible for them so I think it's very possible
I can't fault the police. I'm sure that those people are elusive and difficult to find, but that 'attack' on that quad rider was blatant attempted murder! They need to continue their investigation.
Be strapped out there. Use stealth camping if you are alone. Best to travel in groups of four or more. If you are alone be like a ghost . Set up natural perimeter alarms and keep your fire low key
On the stealth camping---this is just my opinion---most of us would not be good enuf to evade them. I think they know where you are all of the time if they have u picked u out to follow. Probably know how many times you have gone number 1 and 2 and where u did it. Just sayin
So this topic fascinates me and I have a theory. I'm into folklore and cryptids and as far as I know so far is that there's no mention of feral people in the Native American legends, but please correct me if I'm wrong. They have a lot of legends about the big hairy men of the forest who are guardians of their natural habitat, but not feral people. I think they come from the European settlers of old who somehow got separated, lost or something, I wish I knew what, and yet managed to survive and reproduce. Kind of like the movie "The Blue Lagoon", beautiful movie by the way, but way grubbier. I think that when the government found out about them later on, after they had been reproducing for awhile, and have been studying their activity ever since. Which is alarming because these feral people are definitely responsible for some of these missing people reports. I can imagine they want men, women and children the same way we do. Maybe somehow they have retained some of their humanity or maybe quite the opposite? Maybe the government is simply observing their devolution, for "scientific research" Awful. Who knows? The American government is insane for allowing people to go missing and then covering it up. Why? What is the damned logic?! And where did they misplace their scene of morality?
@@savinghistory642 I completely agree, but I was referring to the government hiding the facts from the public and thus putting unsuspecting people in danger.
There's definitely feral people in those mountains. Blue Ridge too. So much terrain to hide out and live in. Plenty of resources for them to live off of .
@@darkwilderness2392 Madison/ Yancey cty NC also. I enjoy driving around and checking out old houses. I was told not to in certain areas because I'd probably go missing. Hike the Smokies alot ,but stay with other hikers. Adventure is fun,but I've heeded the warnings. No one should go into those areas unarmed. I'm less afraid of the bears . Feral people have only survival skills Glad I found your channel. ☺️
A boy age 6, went missing right behind his Dad, brother and another family hiking in TN near Gatlinburg 1960s. Police, community search never found him.
What a scary encounter. They probably are cannibalistic. The woman it seems was a distraction. That is a very strong possibility for the missing folks in the Appalachian mountains. I had a group of friends that were tight knit while we were all youngsters, we called ourselves the Four Musketeers. That goes back quite awhile ago.
This is exactly what I was gonna say. She was bait/distraction. They had already seen the dudes on bikes and quads. These are basic tactics. Wait for one of the pack to get separated. Distract it. Then attack. They were definitely gonna eat Trent. Always pack heat. Always.
Ozarks entering the chat. There are def ferals in certain areas; especially the upper Buffalo wilderness. It’s all karst limestone, so it’s full of caves and caverns. The are was very popular with shiners during prohibition; and some local lore suggests some of them never left the caves up in the hills. Ever see that movie The Descent?
I told you in a comment weeks ago that there is a video of one running up a hillside at two guys on quads. I’m still keeping my eyes open for that video and I have tried to do an Internet search looking for it a couple different times, but do you know of any other potential videos of these feral people?
Nice story man....I live in Carter County Tn. we border North Carolina along that border deep in the woods I would not doubt people like that still exist.....don,t know about how they would dress but you here crazy stories from people that has been around/know these Mountains....from Black Panthers to Hermits still...I live at the foothills.
Just stumbled across your channel due to the ferral people's videos. If you listen to the TV or anything mainstream they'll have you believing that there's not vast amounts of land across the country that man had never stepped foot on.. there's alot of wilderness out there.. I used to haul livestock all over the country and I've been to some ranches that are away from everyone else and hours away from a gas station or any business.. I don't know if you do interviews but you should react out to Jerry who was recently on sasquatch chronicles episode called 3 months in hell.. the man has a wild experience in Provo Utah..
Reading them over and over until I have them memorized and trying to put myself in thier shoes while doing so. Also many takes during filming. Spent years doing recce’s in the military, developed a bit of a knack for attention to detail and information retention.
I was born and raised in that area of Tennessee I have been in a lot of the back country as a young man I have seen and heard many strange things back in those mountains
I don't know if I believe this just for the fact that you say the government is aware of them and leaves them alone. The US government doesn't leave anyone alone. Ever. Those people should be paying taxes and subject to the BS we are.
So I used to go to the smokey mtns every year as a kid. I've hiked a lot of that area and been to the Cosby lookout. I had heard stories from people that the military would conduct exercises in the area to train snipers as kind of a shoot and release exercise. So I would always kind of be on the lookout especially off trail not to step on a guy in a gilly suit. What you said in the video about the Park Rangers saying not to report it reminded me of that. Maybe they let them live out there to conduct training. lol. Just a thought.
@janewolf4541 I also believe both feral humans and Bigfoot are real. However, I don’t think it is Bigfoot who is looking for a meal, if you catch my drift.
Can you do an episode on Shadow People? I would be interested in what you find out about this subject. I just discovered your channel and it’s incredible! Thanks for sharing.
What bothers me is the police have to know something. I mean people just don't come into the police station with a story like that if they were doing anything wrong. So obviously they know something and they don't want to tell what they know. And if that's true that's the scariest thing of all
Very good point! Im thinking its likely related to money. If people were made aware of dangers, some folks would be less likely to visit those areas, which in turn would mean less tourism dollars coming into the local economy. Thanks for taking the time to comment, its much appreciated!
@@darkwilderness2392 I heard about a case in Canada where the dude figured out how to avoid going through the border legally. He used a boat . They found dozens of pairs of shoes that the dude kept for trophy's. He fed them to his Hogs.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to perusing more great content. Trent was very fortunate his two friends came back to check up on him. The fact Trents helmut was that damaged. Knocking him unconscious. That meant he was hit by someone trying to cause him grevious harm. I personally would not go through the Appalachian Trail. Without being armed and I would have a good sized Dog with me. As a canine will detect and let you know if something is wrong. 💪👃✨
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I would 100% want my dog with me. She would take down someone pretty quick if they were a threat. Belgian Malinois fur missile lol
You know, when I think of this particular tale, I realize that although horrendous, it fits well with missing 411. Dogs unable to track, whether or not from no scent to begin with or lack of interest is anyone's guess. The crude garments these ferrel people wore. Ferrell people give off same scent, leave tracks like regular people, like you and me. Therefore, they blend with modern humans well....
@darkwilderness2392 also, Trent was a moving target at some distance away. We have no way of knowing if it was a lucky or professional shot. If you're going to live off the grid, you need to learn how to be the predator unless you're a vegetarian, but I doubt that very much.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////////////
I heard this story a few days ago, but just cant remember from which youtube site. Anyway, after Dennis Martin went missing, the Green Beret were brought in. Many thought to search for Dennis, but no. Green Beret were brought in to clear out as many feral people. Plus their inbreed children. They ended up taking out quite a few. The FBI agent who handled Dennis Martins case, became so distraught, and was so upset over seeing all of the inbreed feral children, he couldnt handle it. Removing himself from this lifetime. When i figure out whos youtube site told this story, i will let ya know.
@@darkwilderness2392 found it!! HELLBENT. HOLLER is the channel. They did a discussion titled: DARK DIVE-EPISODE 5. BACKWOODS-CULTS-FERAL PEOPLE. I just watched the entire episode again. I would suggest watching it because they discuss a remote area they ran across in Georgia, and many bizarre situations come up. Dennis Martins case is discussed in 2 different Sequences, like 55. Minutes in, and towards the end it is revealed about all the inbred bodies brought out that the Green berets had taken, and then the investigator taking his own life. It's dated like 1 yr. Old, well worth listening to. Recently they have teamed up with the SMALL TOWN MONSTERS - in the LBL, which I thought was excellent also.
Crazy I have a deer with not quite as wide but taller times 8 point that almost looks exactly like that just a small touch different but mounted exactly the same way
That one was my first decent buck when I was a teen. Not my PB by far but never got any other heads done. In regret not doing my mid 150s velvet buck from archery last year though, just cause it was full velvet.
They need to go to a news station to embarrass the police for not doing their job. Even if they contact the news station now they would definitely run a story like that and the chief of police and possibly the mayor will be forced to come up with an answer.
Let me know your thoughts on Trent's comment regarding Feral People possibly being responsible for some of the unfortunate happenings in National Parks.
I have a crazy story that you may be interested in. Back in the early 2010s I went on a solo backpacking trip in late april up to cold mountain in the George Washington national forest in VA. The entire hike, I didn't hear a single animal. The whole mountain seemed silent. I made it to my first camp site, set up camp and made dinner, but I just had this really bad uneasy feeling like something was wrong.. I settled down in my tent for the night, but shortly after I did that, the temp dropped from mid 60s to below freezing in about 30 mins.. I went from feeling fine to freezing cold. Frost formed on the inside tent walls, and the hot tea I made literally froze in the cup. Then around 2am I got this sudden feeling of panic and urge to just bail and get back to my car... there was something telling me to just leave my gear since it was heavy, and as long as I got back to my car I'd be okay.. the trail was extremely steep, and if I listened to that urge, I guarantee I wouldn't have made it. I found out about the Missing 411 phenomenon years later, and found out that there is a cluster of missing person cases right in the area I was camping.. I think I may be a potential survivor of missing 411 cases. I'd be happy to give you more details if you are interested. My email is bllymcbride@yahoo.com

Some years ago, my wife and I were coming back up north after a trip down in Virginia. We were traveling through Smokey Mountain national Forest and it was just dark right after sundown.
Well, a small black bear cub ran out across the road in front of us and my wife who was driving at the time laid right hard on the brakes.
As we were watching the cub run down over the bank, a man that was filthy as anybody I’ve ever seen was dragging a tent and a sleeping bag in one hand and holding the hand of a filthy child with the other hand, came running across the road and headed right in the same direction that the bear went and completely out of sight. We sat there, absolutely stunned at what we saw. I know I’ll never forget it. I couldn’t even imagine what the hell was happening.
Thanks for sharing that!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭💀✅
The mountain people were hunting the baby bear.
Boy age 6 went missing in 1960s near Smokey Mountain State Park TN.
Heading north from Virginia doesn't go thru the smoky mountains
Feral people would be another level of scary to encounter.
I 100% agree
I tell people if you are going to go camping in the smocky mountains. 90 percent of the time you are going to be safe. But make sure you always bring a gun. Never go camping/hiking alone. Always bring a dog with you. The dog will alert you to anything weird.
Also I personally don't sleep in a tent. I sleep in a hammock. Because I'm off the ground and I can better react if something or someone sneaks up on me.
That is some SOLID advice my friend! Thank you for sharing that!
Are tourists from another country also allowed to carry guns in the US or certain states?

To my knowledge, after over 45 years of law enforcement and related fields, Tennessee citizens are not required to have carry, or concealed, permits. However Federal law prohibits the carrying of any firearms in National parks or in state parks. Another "however" is do you want to be alive and uninjured but charged with possession of a firearm?
I am not advising or advocating anyone to break ANY kind of law, city, state or federal just raising a hypothetical issue. Many laws are not in your best interest and must be flavored with common sense.
Sadly, it would seem that the most sensible thing in this day and age would be to NOT camp in any park where you are deemed to be completely defenseless against animal, or human animals. Yes, you can bring a knife or axe but how effective is either one going to be against anything capable of mortally injuring you or your family? Not very. The Smokies have bear, mountain lion, poisonous snakes, large birds of prey, and hundreds of other dangerous things to injure or kill you. Especially if you are hiking or camping on your own. I have trained and worked in some of the most dangerous countries in the world and wouid be reluctant to hike or especially camp by myself in a park like the Smokies. Also my age would make it definitely more dangerous. Knowledge without proper conditioning makes these endeavors foolish. As to firearms, their signaling capability makes them almost more valuable than as actual defensive weapons. Fire off enough shots in any park within earshot of ANYONE and the calvary will be responding. Yes, you most likely will be charged to some degree but that's a small price to pay for being alive.
I imagine you could only carry blank ammunition to signal with or frighten off an attacker but unless the firearm will only fire blanks the possibility of charges still remains. In fact, any thing that causes that much concern should probably be ignored all together.
As trained up and as experienced as I am I would not camp, on purpose, anywhere that my vehicle could not go. I do not travel light.....weapons, ammo, medical gear, food, water, body armor, super flashlights and other light sources, etc. Primitive? Not a fan even tho most of my youth spent in some degree of poor.
Sorry for rambling on, PTSD and me. Plus I have been injured to death on two occasions and I do not reccomend it.
rick in Tennessee.
Feral people are scary as hell. They are all over the most remote parts of the nation. It’s the only life they know and when they see people hiking in their areas they instinctively hunt to protect what they believe is their land. Pine box tales had a really good in depth story about feral people
Thanks for sharing that. ill have to check that out.
South Force 10 also
Imagine how many more of these types of people will be out there with all the illegal aliens pouring over the border
it is their territory. most are into self preservation. one lived in the thick woods behind my grand daddys property. his name was Hog Martin and he always carried a large feed sack. the grown people were terrified of him but us kids thought he was great. he taught us a lot about setting snares and building rabbit traps. we were all the time sneaking off to his shack but we knew to holler for him when we were about 50 ft away. he taught us how to catch and clean rattlesnakes. he could catch them by hand. we would take him things from the garden and he would give us something he had whittled. it was just the way he lived and he was good to us. we had a fort up in the woods we lived in on the weekends. we were ages 4-12 and took a .410 shotgun and a .22 rifle with us. the adults knew when they heard a shot from our way that we had dinner. Hog Martin would come and hang with us sometimes. he knew we were good shots and did not miss. saw him take out a wild hog with an axe to the head once.
Are Feral People exclusively an American phenomenon, or do they exist in other countries, as well? (I’m sure they’re in short supply in Monaco, for example, but you know what I mean, large enough developed countries, say, and not indigenous tribal peoples like the natives of Amazonia, but people who have dropped out of modern society and gone feral and live permanently in the wild.)
I don't know if it's worth mentioning.
(by the way, love the channel)
This was a story Teddy Roosevelt told about when he was working as a cowboy in Dakota.
He was making a trip alone from one ranch to a trading post. He had made the decision to cross as nearly close to a straight line from one to the other.
So he heads out, knowing that he'll be camping out on the prairie between the two.
As he was making his way, he crossed a stream. Not deep, but enough to obviously have fish. He saw that the tall grass was trampled around the crossing, so he assumed there was game in the area. He decided to set a trap, and continue on towards a hillock he saw like a mile in the distance.
He gets to the hillock, sets up his camp in the lee of the hill, and sets his gear out: a pan for whatever he catches, a knapsack, just regular stuff, and he then sets back out towards the stream to get his trap.
On the way to the stream, he starts to hear this low wheezing coming from the long grass, maybe thirty or so feet from him. And what interested him was that he never seemed to walk PAST it. The wheezing was always there...low, and off into the grass.
He gets back to the stream, and locates his trap. As before, the grass is trampled. But his trap has been moved. Not sprung, not even moved very far. But it's been moved.
So he takes the trap and starts heading back towards the camp. As he comes back, he keeps hearing this wheezing, but from further away. Like before, he never seems to walk past it: it's always there, just forty or fifty feet into the grass.
He gets back to the campsite, and decides to just have some beef jerky and coffee to end the day. And as he's looking for his pot, it's nowhere to be seen. His pot is missing. But in it's place is a little doll made out of grass.
So he packs up, continues on. And when he gets to the post he deliberately keeps what happened to himself: he knows that some of the folks out there still think he's a dude, so why give them more ammo, right?
As he's resupplying in the store, he sees a guy he knows come in. So he walks over, says hi, and (with a little reluctance) tells him what happened...expecting the guy to laugh at him.
And the guy just nods. "Yeah, the hairy man."
Roosevelt is a bit taken aback. "The hairy man?"
"Of course. Everyone around the area knows about the hairy man. Did he leave a doll behind?"
Roosevelt was surprised: he deliberately hadn't mentioned that part, because who would believe him? He responded that there was indeed a grass doll where the pot had been.
"Yeah, he does that. He's trading. Sometimes he messes with traps. Everyone who's been out here for awhile has a run in with the hairy man sooner or later."
The guy wasn't shocked, he said that it was an infrequent occurrence.
It never happened to Roosevelt again, but it stayed with him.
Thanks so much for sharing that. I am familiar with his story. The fact he was open about it really makes you wonder why the government now days is so hard set on not acknowledging them. Interesting fact, some of the US bases have them listed on the wildlife lists for the areas.
My take on it is it was an intellectually disabled hirsute man, not sasquatch (cuz I don't believe in them), living literally on the fringe of society. Still it's poignant that in his mind he believed that leaving grass dolls evened out his taking of something of another i.e. "trading".
@@pippishortstocking7913 Well you not believing does not alter the fact that they exist. Both Sasquatch and feral men as well as other strange hominids. So why does the government want to keep a lid on all of these things? Hiking,camping,national parks etc. are a multibillion $ annual business for the government. Normal everyday people would freak out if they were suddenly told “Hey folks,guess what, all that stuff you have been told doesn’t exist? Well it does”
This is a great channel. Trent is lucky his friends were looking out for him after he told them he couldn't keep up. Most of these Feral People stories take place in areas associated with Missing 411 cases.
Thanks so much! I agree he is very lucky his buddies were on the ball, who know what would have happened if they were not.
I'm an old lady and I have lived here in the Smoky Mountains all my life. I knew an old man that worked for the park for 30 years. There's really Feral people out there. Scott Carpenter got a few clips of them
RIP to Scott, he was a good dude. Didn’t know him personally but watched him for a long time. Thanks for sharing that.
@@darkwilderness2392 I did run into him a couple of times at the old general store on Chillhowee Lake. Good decent man. When he started pointing the camera behind himself to record I was amazed . Best idea ever 😀

GOD BLESS SCOTT...HE IS DANCING WITH THE ANGELS
Really late to this party, but can anybody point me to the footage. I've believed in these stories for years, and have just been waiting on some kind of proof.
I remember back when I was a teenager in the 80s I was dating this girl. Her dad was a truck driver and he asked me one time do you believe in feral people and I said I’ve understood about them. He seen one in Tennessee during the night and he said it was terrified.😎💯
Thanks for sharing that!
@@darkwilderness2392 😎👍
What a bedtime story! My kids are going to love this one. 😅
This feral people are you described at the end. There’re the missing people themselves. People who had enough of modern day society and love the outdoors and others have the outdoors in there souls like some people have music. But have mental problems.
I live in remote area in the Florida Everglades and there’s feral people out there. Mostly Vietnam veterans and convicted criminals.
I got a Vietnam vet that come to my house out of woods. He knows me and family well. I give him liquor and supplies. That’s what he wants. Then he goes in the woods and disappears for months. I haven’t seen him in a while.
I feel for those vets. A lot were drafted, sent over seas to serve their country, only to come home and be treated like trash. I don’t blame some for running off to wilds and living off the land far from society. Next time you see that fellow, thank him for his service. Thanks for sharing that, it’s very much appreciated.
Folks that go boony..your description of them is spot on..many of them got tired of the rat race
I'd like some supplies and liquor.
Vodka, preferably.
I take showers!
It very well could be exactly what's going on in the National Parks. Thanks
It sure makes you think, doesn’t it?
Definitely NOT responsible for missing 411 cases.. Unless you think feral people have ability to cloak invisibility, move humans up and over mountains in short time, leave no tracks or scent for dogs, and then bring bodies back to the previously searched area days later
@@whataworld369 that is a good point, a lot of 411 cases are truly bizarre and have a specific set of criteria to be listed as part of missing 411. But they could be responsible for some of the missing people that do not fit into the requirements of missing 411.
@darkwilderness2392 oh, for sure they could be responsible for more normal cases of missing people in parks... Sorry, I guess I have tunnel vision for missing 411 cases and sort of forgot about all the others that are a bit less bizarre but missing nonetheless

The Woman is another about a wild woman. She gets captured but wrecks havoc on her captures c. Early 2000s.
I've 'tent camped' in those mountains several times in less traveled areas, but never heard of such a thing until recently, however, I know less wilderness means wild things on the move. This is hard to believe, but not impossible. It has made me think twice about going back. The idea of ferals is unsettling...
Well said! It is unsettling
There is possibly less game around so they have gone to stealing supplies more and more to survive. Might make their way of life easier. Just a thought
@@carmanwilliamson9488 excellent point!
It's easier for the authorities to explain away drinking and riding then the possibility of feral people living in the bush

Also travel in pairs at least and armed.
It would explain why so many missing people in parks are found dead, missing their shoes.
Very possible! Thanks for commenting, it is very much appreciated.
How many I am curious
It doesn’t explain why there is no sound when these people go missing, if feral people or bigfoot took someone, that person would be screaming. In all the missing 411 stories, there is no report of anyone screaming before they disappeared
@@jmuk3571 In the vast wilderness there might not be anyone to hear you scream. They probably sneak up on you while sleeping and you don’t get a chance to scream.
@KB8Killa listen to some of the rusty west videos about national park disappearances and you will see that a lot of ppl are found dead, missing shoes lol
This had trouble written all over it, Mr. DW. If I were Trent, I would have waited till my dirt bike was fixed. Why go on this trip if the other two have to keep waiting on you to keep up?
Also - I agree with the cover up. Have you heard of the Dennis Martin disappearance in the Smoky Mountains about that six-year-old boy who was never found? It's part of Missing 411 and there's a lot of suspicions concerning the investigation - from possible feral people or maybe Sasquatch.
Thanks for the story!
Thanks as always Isaiah! I am very familiar with the Dennis Martin case. I agree with you!
Or why couldn't they just do a regular camping trip to relax and chill until his bike gets fixed?
feral people do not kill children. they may keep them was one of their own though.
This could’ve gone so bad if Trent didn’t have friends who also happened to have a firearm there! This story is so scary cuz I truly believe this could happen to anyone who’s just a tad deeper into wilderness. This channel is great I found it randomly and totally love it👌❤️

@@JoyfulDuck-zp5wg lol yup! Should see the looks I get stopping at the store on the way home… haha
The guys probably went to the police, but they should have contacted the Park Rangers. I was one for 6 years. The Rangers are usually much more in sync with what and who are living in the woods. They generally take a different approach than regular law enforcement officers would. I can tell you from experience that if alcohol or drugs were involved at all that muddies up the stories a bit and causes any officer to search for an alternative motive for the incident. But if people are very sober and have a disturbing story it WILL be investigated if there is reason to do so. In my experience there are transients living in most federal parks. Mostly they just want to be left alone. But every now and then there would be an encounter that would become physical. I always carried food and water in my vehicle and offered it first to diffuse the tension. Unfortunately there are some folks living outdoors that need meds to stay mentally balanced, and they dont have them. Just stay wary, but not scared or paranoid and keep your distance. If you are in a place that allows firearms please be aware of local laws and regs concerning their use or brandishing.
Spot on! Excellent points and excellent advice.

I know this area . I also live in Knoxville. I visit there 3 -4 times a year trout fishing for a few days. This is definitely the area to experience such things. I don't wander far from camp at night. Nothing will keep me from going there though. It's too beautiful. I definitely try to prepare myself for anything. I go to pretty high altitudes to call people a couple of times. That's where you feel something , but you're also amazed at the scenery.
Im super jealous man! You should google "manitoba", pretty much just prairie west of Winnipeg. The fast eastern side gets hilly because of the start of the Canadian Shield, but other than that, were pretty flat up here.
@@darkwilderness2392 I definitely will Google it. I can't deal with too much flat land and noisy mountain water though. 😂 With the constant background noise , you can always hear other noises strangely. At least I can.

I camp regularly BUT I’m always armed because you never know
That is a good plan! Thanks for commenting, much appreciated!
They probably came around a tree with blunt object and smacked him off the moving quad so it kept going and he fell and tumbled hard.
Exactly what is suspected to have happened.
I can't fault the police. I'm sure that those people are elusive and difficult to find, but that 'attack' on that quad rider was blatant attempted murder! They need to continue their investigation.
Be strapped out there. Use stealth camping if you are alone. Best to travel in groups of four or more. If you are alone be like a ghost . Set up natural perimeter alarms and keep your fire low key
Excellent advice!
On the stealth camping---this is just my opinion---most of us would not be good enuf to evade them. I think they know where you are all of the time if they have u picked u out to follow. Probably know how many times you have gone number 1 and 2 and where u did it. Just sayin

So this topic fascinates me and I have a theory. I'm into folklore and cryptids and as far as I know so far is that there's no mention of feral people in the Native American legends, but please correct me if I'm wrong. They have a lot of legends about the big hairy men of the forest who are guardians of their natural habitat, but not feral people. I think they come from the European settlers of old who somehow got separated, lost or something, I wish I knew what, and yet managed to survive and reproduce. Kind of like the movie "The Blue Lagoon", beautiful movie by the way, but way grubbier. I think that when the government found out about them later on, after they had been reproducing for awhile, and have been studying their activity ever since. Which is alarming because these feral people are definitely responsible for some of these missing people reports. I can imagine they want men, women and children the same way we do. Maybe somehow they have retained some of their humanity or maybe quite the opposite? Maybe the government is simply observing their devolution, for "scientific research" Awful. Who knows? The American government is insane for allowing people to go missing and then covering it up. Why? What is the damned logic?! And where did they misplace their scene of morality?
That’s is a really interesting theory, thanks for sharing it!
Wendigo? morality is different things to different people.
@@savinghistory642 I completely agree, but I was referring to the government hiding the facts from the public and thus putting unsuspecting people in danger.
There's definitely feral people in those mountains. Blue Ridge too. So much terrain to hide out and live in. Plenty of resources for them to live off of .
I think there are, there are so many stories of them.
@@darkwilderness2392 Madison/ Yancey cty NC also. I enjoy driving around and checking out old houses. I was told not to in certain areas because I'd probably go missing.

Do you have any stories from the area?
I always carry when in the woods and will not hesitate to pull it.
Excellent idea!
Sounds like the movie Deliverance. Could the ferals be relatives of the local authorities? Yikes!
I don't know about relatives, but it sure sounds like they know about them from what has been shared with me anyway.
What a scary encounter. They probably are cannibalistic. The woman it seems was a distraction. That is a very strong possibility for the missing folks in the Appalachian mountains. I had a group of friends that were tight knit while we were all youngsters, we called ourselves the Four Musketeers. That goes back quite awhile ago.
Thanks as always Juanita! I think they could be as well.
they are not cannibals. too much game around. how much meat do you think you will net off a 6 year old?
This is exactly what I was gonna say. She was bait/distraction. They had already seen the dudes on bikes and quads. These are basic tactics. Wait for one of the pack to get separated. Distract it. Then attack.
They were definitely gonna eat Trent.
Always pack heat.
Always.
Ozarks entering the chat. There are def ferals in certain areas; especially the upper Buffalo wilderness. It’s all karst limestone, so it’s full of caves and caverns. The are was very popular with shiners during prohibition; and some local lore suggests some of them never left the caves up in the hills. Ever see that movie The Descent?

Dang! This is absolutely terrifying. Thank goodness Chase carries his .45. Always carry!
I 100% agree!!
CONGRATULATIONS! You just hit 3000 subscribers!!
Thank you! Ya that was pretty exciting! My one daughter (10) was pretty pumped to see that!
You need to have banjo music playing in the background 😮
That would actually be pretty slick
I feel like this is the best explanation for the Dennis Martin story,.
Who knows. Possible
Great story!.
Thanks, but not my story, just shared it. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment
I told you in a comment weeks ago that there is a video of one running up a hillside at two guys on quads. I’m still keeping my eyes open for that video and I have tried to do an Internet search looking for it a couple different times, but do you know of any other potential videos of these feral people?
Incredible story. I believe it to be true. Should we try to communicate with this ancient people or should we leave alone?
I’d probably say leave ‘em be based on the stories I’ve been told and read
Nice story man....I live in Carter County Tn. we border North Carolina along that border deep in the woods I would not doubt people like that still exist.....don,t know about how they would dress but you here crazy stories from people that has been around/know these Mountains....from Black Panthers to Hermits still...I live at the foothills.
Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated.
The people of the woods just want to be left alone but people don't know how to stay out of the area
Well said
He was about to be that evenings main course!
Ha possibly
not cannibals. people that think like that are most likely to get cocky and then POOF.
I hear banjo music.😮
I’ve seen deliverance… if I hear banjos in the woods, I’m running the other way!
Squeal like a pig or you have pretty
Iips, I'm gone
Yup...reminds me of the movie: "Deliverance"... scary stuff.
@@elang3366 agreed!
Just stumbled across your channel due to the ferral people's videos. If you listen to the TV or anything mainstream they'll have you believing that there's not vast amounts of land across the country that man had never stepped foot on.. there's alot of wilderness out there.. I used to haul livestock all over the country and I've been to some ranches that are away from everyone else and hours away from a gas station or any business.. I don't know if you do interviews but you should react out to Jerry who was recently on sasquatch chronicles episode called 3 months in hell.. the man has a wild experience in Provo Utah..
Thanks for sharing that. I wouldn't know how to go about getting in contact with him. You wouldnt happen to have his contact info would you?
I had various experiences in Beaver, Utah.
There was a young man from Asheville North Carolina missing from the Cherokee Forest
Could be connected!
Believe me if I were feral it wouldn't be ANYWHERE near ppl.
lol same here
if they have stealable supplies and you need them, you would .
How do you memorize someone else's encounter that good , without any hesitations 🤔
Reading them over and over until I have them memorized and trying to put myself in thier shoes while doing so. Also many takes during filming. Spent years doing recce’s in the military, developed a bit of a knack for attention to detail and information retention.
That's what I was thinking
@@bobo44donemilking51 it is challenging, and at times can be frustrating
I was born and raised in that area of Tennessee I have been in a lot of the back country as a young man I have seen and heard many strange things back in those mountains
would you mind shooting me an email to discuss further?
I don't know if I believe this just for the fact that you say the government is aware of them and leaves them alone. The US government doesn't leave anyone alone. Ever. Those people should be paying taxes and subject to the BS we are.
I’m just sharing what was shared with me. Thanks for the comment!
Really makes me want to own a side arm. You just never know…
You and me both!!
My side arm is like American Express. I don't leave home without it!
So I used to go to the smokey mtns every year as a kid. I've hiked a lot of that area and been to the Cosby lookout. I had heard stories from people that the military would conduct exercises in the area to train snipers as kind of a shoot and release exercise. So I would always kind of be on the lookout especially off trail not to step on a guy in a gilly suit. What you said in the video about the Park Rangers saying not to report it reminded me of that. Maybe they let them live out there to conduct training. lol. Just a thought.
I haven’t heard that’s before, that would be crazy if that’s true. Thanks for sharing that.
This was scary, I believe that feral people are real, and bigfoot are also out there waiting for a meal. Thank you, I love this channel.
Thank you so much Jane, that means a lot and is very much appreciated!!
@@darkwilderness2392 Colorado appreciates you.
@@janewolf4541 thats so nice of you to say, thank you!
@janewolf4541 I also believe both feral humans and Bigfoot are real. However, I don’t think it is Bigfoot who is looking for a meal, if you catch my drift.
Can you do an episode on Shadow People? I would be interested in what you find out about this subject. I just discovered your channel and it’s incredible! Thanks for sharing.
They probably didn't like noise made in their woods by the dirt bikes,and who can blame them!
Possibly!
Good one
Thanks and thanks for the comment
I’m more scared of other humans than I am of mountain lions or snakes.😮
For me a single person not so much, a group though… oh hell ya, I’m with you 100%
What bothers me is the police have to know something. I mean people just don't come into the police station with a story like that if they were doing anything wrong. So obviously they know something and they don't want to tell what they know. And if that's true that's the scariest thing of all
Very good point! Im thinking its likely related to money. If people were made aware of dangers, some folks would be less likely to visit those areas, which in turn would mean less tourism dollars coming into the local economy. Thanks for taking the time to comment, its much appreciated!
@@darkwilderness2392 You are spot on, Its all about the tourism dollars
@@carmanwilliamson9488 sure seems like it
Damewhathellwelwofeallygetthehelloutthemwoods
lol
Definitely I believe every word they say they are taking people other things are taking people too😊
Very possible! Thanks for the comment!
Of course they are out there doing what wild animals do . Surviving .
Well said
I like the backdrop your an outdoorsman, ever have any expierences yourself?
Thanks! I did, I’ve done 2 videos on them. One was “I saw something” and the other was “something stalked us”
I saw Bigfoot walking his chupacabra at midnight on Chinese new years in the mountains of New Orleans riding my Pegasus named area 54
lol area 54
Feral Hogs, Feral People, LETS GO HUNTING! OOHRAH!
Them Wild Hogs are far scarier than the feral humans. 😊
hogs are pretty brutal
@@darkwilderness2392 Hogs are Omnivores. They eat everything. Bone's and all
@@rhondamoon3886 Yup. There was a sick MOFO in BC that was killing and feeding hookers to his pigs some years back.
@@darkwilderness2392 I heard about a case in Canada where the dude figured out how to avoid going through the border legally. He used a boat . They found dozens of pairs of shoes that the dude kept for trophy's. He fed them to his Hogs.
Another great way to scare your kids into wearing their protective gear! Helmets, pads etc.
Lol.
LOL
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to perusing more great content. Trent was very fortunate his two friends came back to check up on him. The fact Trents helmut was that damaged. Knocking him unconscious. That meant he was hit by someone trying to cause him grevious harm. I personally would not go through the Appalachian Trail. Without being armed and I would have a good sized Dog with me. As a canine will detect and let you know if something is wrong. 💪👃✨
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I would 100% want my dog with me. She would take down someone pretty quick if they were a threat. Belgian Malinois fur missile lol
@@darkwilderness2392 yes that particular breed of dog. They truly are great at defending those in their family. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
@@thomasgumersell9607 ya she is crazy protective, but to the family she is a big baby and a teddy bear.
You know, when I think of this particular tale, I realize that although horrendous, it fits well with missing 411. Dogs unable to track, whether or not from no scent to begin with or lack of interest is anyone's guess. The crude garments these ferrel people wore. Ferrell people give off same scent, leave tracks like regular people, like you and me. Therefore, they blend with modern humans well....
I think they could be connected
Well, trent would've died if it wasn't for his helmet. So yes, the ferals are responsible for some of dead and missing people.
Good point! Thanks for the comment
@darkwilderness2392 also, Trent was a moving target at some distance away. We have no way of knowing if it was a lucky or professional shot. If you're going to live off the grid, you need to learn how to be the predator unless you're a vegetarian, but I doubt that very much.
You are a gifted storyteller. As you're speaking, I can picture what you're saying really clearly.
Thank you so much! and thanks for taking the time to comment, its very much appreciated.
Talks way to much
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

That must have taken a while to type
100% the feral people were going to eat the dude on the quad.
So gross to think about
Wow!
Thanks! And thank you for taking time to comment, it’s very much appreciated.
Tn has feral people at Walmart
Walmartians!!
@@darkwilderness2392 lol
Love the content keep it up comment 111❤
Thank you! Super nice to hear, and will do!
I heard this story a few days ago, but just cant remember from which youtube site. Anyway, after Dennis Martin went missing, the Green Beret were brought in. Many thought to search for Dennis, but no. Green Beret were brought in to clear out as many feral people. Plus their inbreed children. They ended up taking out quite a few. The FBI agent who handled Dennis Martins case, became so distraught, and was so upset over seeing all of the inbreed feral children, he couldnt handle it. Removing himself from this lifetime.
When i figure out whos youtube site told this story, i will let ya know.
I had another comment about that actually, if you find that video let me know
@@darkwilderness2392 I will
@@darkwilderness2392 found it!! HELLBENT. HOLLER is the channel. They did a discussion titled:
DARK DIVE-EPISODE 5. BACKWOODS-CULTS-FERAL PEOPLE.
I just watched the entire episode again. I would suggest watching it because they discuss a remote area they ran across in Georgia, and many bizarre situations come up. Dennis Martins case is discussed in 2 different
Sequences, like 55. Minutes in, and towards the end it is revealed about all the inbred bodies brought out that the Green berets had taken, and then the investigator taking his own life.
It's dated like 1 yr. Old, well worth listening to. Recently they have teamed up with the
SMALL TOWN MONSTERS - in the LBL, which I thought was excellent also.
Crazy I have a deer with not quite as wide but taller times 8 point that almost looks exactly like that just a small touch different but mounted exactly the same way
That one was my first decent buck when I was a teen. Not my PB by far but never got any other heads done. In regret not doing my mid 150s velvet buck from archery last year though, just cause it was full velvet.
They need to go to a news station to embarrass the police for not doing their job. Even if they contact the news station now they would definitely run a story like that and the chief of police and possibly the mayor will be forced to come up with an answer.
great point
never been to a backwoods hick town before have you? live and let live but FAFO.
