This has happened on other channels. Can take couple of hours for it to start working for everyone. From what other channels said From contacting yt over this issue. Hope that's of some help.
I am a park ranger. My park is about 10,000 acres. So pretty small. And extremely well traveled. Even still we have found deceased people years after they died. The woods are vast and dense. If someone goes off trail it can be near impossible to find them. This is especially true if they don't want to be found. Which is often the case with suicide. I believe in paranormal things but when I hear people come up with conspiracy theories for people who simply went missing in the woods I can't help but think that people are severely underestimating how difficult it can be to find anything at all in acres and acres of wilderness. The vast majority of people who are rescued want to be rescued and help their rescuers in some way. Educate yourself on how if you ever plan to venture off the trail.
@@diannefedoruk109 That's been a thing since the beginning of history. Clothes are valuable and you don't want to go ripping them up unless you absolutely have to. Break a green limb and it will hang for quite some time. If you are used to the woods you will notice it very easily.
I grew up in the Caribbean and we were always taught of the spirits in the woods, mountains and rivers. In modern times and because of technology, we've grown away from these energies but that doesn't mean they disappeared and no longer exist!
They are surrounded us everywhere. Respecting each other space is there. Calmly with humble heart and acknowledge their well being will secure your safety.
My husband and I did some wilderness camping. One late night, I heard shuffling footsteps and heavy breathing. It stoped just inches from the outside of our tent. I was terrified, so quietly woke up my husband. He yelled at the unseen "person" to leave. Nothing: no answer, no movement, just more heavy breathing. My husband bravely unzipped the tent and laughed when he saw a huge range cow. I am so thankful he didn't come out shooting. We were lucky. Lots of natural things could have finished us. Perhaps our most dangerous situation was (believe it or not) a lost baby bear. If the returning mother found us too close to him, she'd probably kill one of us. I've found a scorpion on my pillow, unmapped lakes, a dirt road ending at a cliff, rattle snakes, killer spiders and poison fruit look-a-likes that we didn't eat. I haven't seen a mountain lion but the big cat probably knew exactly where I was. If you go wilderness camping bring a map (NOT GPS) enough food & water, be careful of hypothermia (staying wet in cold weather), and please respect the wildlife. Thank you.
Many wilderness camping locations are out of range of a GPS, rendering it useless and dead weight. It is best to rely on a real compass and an up to date map. @@harounk8849
@@harounk8849GPS only go off of previously mapped areas... Though a GPS knows your coordinates it will only display them according to a previously mapped position.
ALWAYS bring GPS are you fuggin’ kidding?!? It’s a damn SATELLITE POSITIONING SYSTEM!!! Garmin watches can transmit your location to people. Seriously bad advice here. I doubt you even go in your back yard.
I always love how all of these horrible monster stories have the adult version of a bed and blanket from childhood. As long as you are in your tent or bed with the blanket over you, the bad things can’t get you. I really need to look a lot more into what tent makers use to make their tents have this magical protection.
It’s a threshold most entities out in the woods will stay outside of your tent or threshold. That’s why they will circle and make a ruckus outside but not come in. Thresholds are big important for protection. Some things are way better than others though.
Let's hope the tent or blanket is made of graphene nanotubes with depleted uranium-infused Cobham armour with active proximity defences woven right in. Otherwise, I'm just not convinced it'll protect anything much.
Alot of people talking spirits and demons.. Arnet like wolfs, mountian lions, bears, the general size of terrain, and maybe murderers actual real life monsters. But alot of people talking energy and spirits.. idk
The scariest comment I ever saw in response to advice about personal safety in national parks was under podcaster MrBallen's channel when a woman thanked him for the heads-up and went on to announce which nat'l park she was about to visit & which hotel & dates she'd booked and that she'd be travelling alone w/her dog. Oy vey people!
I've always found the thought of, "they were experienced at solo-hiking so it was strange that they went missing" completely baffling. Like... are you genuinely surprised that the *untamed wilderness* would cause something unexpected to happen? To my understanding, if one is truly experienced, then they would know that no matter HOW prepared you are, it's ludicrous to think you're truly safe. That's like saying, "he was well experienced with climbing Everest, so it was weird he would freeze to death on it."
Agree! I think one of the most dangerous mindsets you can have on a hike is too much confidence ! Every dead body on Mt everest was once a highly motivated person! Lol
Yeah and emphasis on “solo-hiking”. Makes it even more likely for them to go missing when it’s only 1 person vs a group where someone could of possibly got away to get help and tell what happened
I absolutely agree. It kinda bugs me when a child just vanishes in seemingly thin air. That does make me sad.I know it might be unfair to hold it against the guardians....but its their fault. Keep an eye on ur dang kids. Some of these disappearances where the person or kid shows back up 30 to 70 miles away is ....there are legit wild weird stories and experiences. But dead men tell no tales.
Me , my husband, and our daughter who was about 3 at the time was heading home one night. We took back roads because it was faster. The moon was full and bright and you could see everything. My husband stopped to go to the bathroom. It was around 1:00 am so no other cars was around. I was looking in the field watching cows. Then I noticed a extremely large animal which my first thought was "dang that's the biggest cow I've ever seen". Then it stood up and looked straight at us. I yelled at my husband to get his ass back in the truck. The creature dropped on all fours and run towards us. My husband hit the gas and I kept watching. It run after us until I couldn't see it anymore because of the woodline. Our opinion it was a werewolf. I have never seen anything like it before or after. My husband said to never speak of it. Our daughter thank God slept through the whole thing. We arrived safely home, but didn't really sleep that night wondering if it might have followed us home. I know what we saw. Strange as it sounds, the memory of that night still freaks me out. We never took that road again.
I grew up very near the Smoky Mountains and spent a lot of time there. I remember when I was around 7 years old, we had a gravel driveway before it was paved. We lived in the hills and backed up to a wooded area. My sister and I shared a bedroom. One night, during summer when we used to sleep with windows open, I woke up to something very big moving outside our window. I heard a sound that I thought was a dog grunting or growling. I definitely felt the presence of something. I pulled the covers over my head. The next morning, there were huge footprints in the driveway gravel that was outside our window and I followed them up the hill to the end of the driveway. I couldn’t wait to show my nextdoor neighbor friends the footprints. When our dads got home, we showed them the prints. My dad put his foot in one of the prints and I saw his face go pale. Our nextdoor neighbor was a large man and he put his foot in a print and his foot was also dwarfed. He looked at my dad and then looked at all us girls. We didn’t sleep with windows open after that, my parents got air conditioners.
My buddy Chase Robertson went missing out of vida/blue river Oregon, 2.5 years ago roughly 15 miles in the woods up logging roads. Nobody ever found a trace of his body or know where he went, as his phone was last pinged on the other side of the mountain, his car was about 15 miles from where his phone was pinged, and we found all of his belongings, except for himself. We tried flying over with radar/thermal imaging and couldn't find a body anywhere in the woods, we had multiple search and rescue crews, horses and various other agencies looking for Chase Robertson, it's been roughly 2 years and he hasn't been found. Ironically, last summer on the highway outside those woods, a semi had flipped and blocked the road. It was super early in the morning and I tried to link Quartz creek road (up blue river) deep through about 50 miles of logging roads and woods (with no service) to wesfir so I could hit the highway over there and come home. Well, on top of the mountain I hit a patch of ice and got stuck. I was stuck up there for 9 hours before I decided to hike 22 miles in 8 hours, to get back to the main highway. I was fortunate enough to be able to have my phone on me and to run into a weird service zone where I had a bar of service so I could post to Facebook with my exact location for help, and that's where someone found me walking along the logging road, another 8 hours later (I was out there for 24+ hours, technically missing) It was eerie walking through the deep woods out in Blue River alone, like that out there. It was intense, hearing sticks crack and branches moving around in the woods around you, hoping a bear or cougar doesn't come out and you meet your demise, or maybe some deep woods hicks that live in a ran down cabin hidden by overgrowth potentially has my buddy hostage, you never know what's going on in those woods... Anyways, I made it back home and to safety, unfortunately my buddy hasn't. I wish I could hear back from him saying that "I'm okay". I grew up with this guy in highschool. Hopefully some closure turns up.
@@sincerelypandora3326 Thank you, as am I each and every day. I have Dave from Missing 411 picking up his story here soon. I'm thankful that his case will get some more traction 🥺
@@itzelramos7386 I couldn't tell you. He lives really close to that area, and there is a hot springs in the woods nearby, called Cougar Hot Springs, and I know his phone was last pinged over there before he went missing. But his dad passed away right before he went missing too, so it was very weird to find his car out there literally full of his belongings. 😏
Been in the woods my whole life but sometimes you just get this uneasy feeling like something is watching/stalking you. You can see and hear some very weird things when deep in the forest.
I was raised in the woods and never had any of these problems. I knew things were watching me though. Coyotes, wolves, deer, owl, fox. Snakes treefrogs songbirds. Because I grew up in the woods I also have excellent night vision. If there is a sliver of moon in the sky I can sprint through the forest without a light. My uncles also told me that Freddy Kruger lived in my drainage ditch and would scrape at my windows at night... So. More likely to get my bat and start yelling if something goes bump in the night. "Stir Crazy" is the word we always used.
I am also aware of these strange missing person cases in your national parks. in Germany we call them Missing 411 cases. People disappear within the blink of an eye (sometimes out of groups of people) and either don't reappear at all or in weird positions (often without shoes) and are physically unharmed but dead. First comes the extensive search, the dogs cannot or do not want to scent people, then the weather change delays the search. sometime later the corpse is found, either in places that were impossible to reach or in the immediate vicinity, where the search had already been carried out several times. Allegedly, it increasingly affects people with red or yellow clothing. There used to be a rule of conduct here in the form of a phrase, but it's very old: If you wear yellow you go to another world if you wear red then you are dead (in German the first 2 lines rhyme too) But nobody here can tell what's behind it either. (sorry for so many text..and for mistakes, I'm still learning English)
From my understanding the term "Missing 411" comes from the USA It became famous thanks to the work of David Polites (probably butcherd hisbname) To consider a case a 411 case, it need to furfill certain cryterias tho Considering those, a fair amount of the told storys here do not count Many describtions of events sound rather suspicious "The Lore Lodge" has a very good video explaining the cryterias for a Mussing 411 He also does a shit ton of research on those cases, which I seriously apprechiad (PS. Servus aus Bayern)
As the other reply stated, the term “Missing 411” is a term originating in the US via David Paulides and his work covering cases that meet the “411” criteria. He has written multiple books, has created a few movies/documentaries highlighting certain cases, and has a UA-cam channel called “Canam Missing Project” covering Missing 411 cases in Canada and America (hence the “canam”). He’s worked very hard for decades gathering all of the information and putting together his Missing 411 criterias based on patterns he saw when working in law enforcement on missing person cases in the US. Definitely worth checking him out! It’s so interesting that Germany is also using his term to describe their own similar phenomena. This world has so many mysteries, secrets and unknowns that we will never uncover or understand. I often think that’s probably for the best.
@@BhappyD Here in Germany we didn't have a term for this phenomenon, but one of my favourite German UA-camr (Mythen Metzger = Myth Butcher) reported about David Paulides and his work. Due to MM's videos (and the fact that UA-camrs steal from each other) the term Missing 411 became more and more famous on the Internet I heard that Missing 411 was the title of Paulides' first book, because the content was about the first 411 mysterious cases of missing people he had discovered at that point of time.
Grew up in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in a town of ~5000 people. Hiking was one of the only pastimes during the summer (no movie theater, mall, ect.). One time, a friend (now DOW officer) and I were DEEP in the woods... Much deeper than most people would go (12 hr hike) but that was pretty normal for us. We were descending into a bowl at the end of a small valley and as we walked down we could see something large just before the treeline (~11,000 elevation). We thought it was a barrel, but as we neared we could see it was a cow (open range grazing is common in our area). It's intestines (everything) had been sucked out of a 5" hole where it's a$$ should be. The eyes and tongue were also missing and there was no blood... Anywhere. The strangest thing was that no animals had touched it, in fact it was eeriely quiet. As we were taking picture we noticed another cow about 50m. away... Same condition. We were pretty freaked out as this was not normal, so we started to book it back to the car (~2 hrs of hiking left and the sun was setting). As we continued down the trail another 100m we found one more cow. It's hind legs were on it's knees and it's front legs were folded underneath it (think of the yoga pose downward dog) like it had died instantly and just dropped. Same thing as the others but the way the cow was orientated, blood was slowly flowing out of its mouth causing a little stream of blood to cross the trail. It was fresh. It's hard to explain, but this was the most abnormal way for an animal to die... My friend and I were really starting to get freaked out and took it as a warning. Right after we passed the final cow, we passed a group of 3 people (1m, 2f) and we said hello and gave them the trail... They said nothing and walked by us without looking at us. Again, SUPER WEIRD since everyone is super friendly and we basically know everyone in our town. They were not carrying camping equipment and as I said the sun was setting and this was not a place you wanted to be at night without shelter. We watched them disappear up the trail and proceeded to run to our vehicle (after 10 hrs of hiking that's saying something). Something was telling us to get out and we were running on pure adrenaline. That is the only time I've known true fear, every instinct was telling us to get out of that forest. Edit: Thank you everyone for listening! For the nature experts out there saying small animals are the cause... I grew up in the woods and would regularly see dead animals at all stages of decay... What we saw was anything but regular. For the skeptics asking for pictures, they are off grid somewhere in Alaska with my buddy. This was pre-digital age and I don't think I'll be able to get those anytime soon if he even still has them. I also don't want to give my home a weird reputation, so I won't be disclosing the exact location. But, small town in central Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. Lastly, this was not an isolated incident. This happened around 2010 and other unusual occurrences peaked around then for about 2-3 years where we would see strange things in the sky almost every night. During that time, we brought plenty of skeptics to the woods and enjoyed watching them change their minds. Edit: Just a word to the airchair warriors who can't believe that someone wouldn't have a picture of something that happened 20+ years ago... This was before smart phones. We used a real film camera (not mine) to snap a couple quick shots... I do not live in the US and my friend lives somewhere in Alaska but I haven't talked to him in 5-6 years. As for the other complaints about the fireballs in the sky... Taking a picture is the last thing you're thinking about not to mention I had a flip phone with about 10 pixels...
My guess is these were not people, more like shape-shifting pretending to be people. They were probably sucking the life out of these cows. You did well to leave.
I had an unflappable trail horse. When we moved from LA to outside of Bako there was one part of the trail she absolutely would not go. When I asked other riders about it, they claimed their horses acted similarly. No one knows why. When walked, it seemed like every other part of the trail 🤷♀️. Needless to say, I listened to my mare.
A friend of mine was a park ranger for a few years in Canada. He always refused to tell what made him change trade completely. One night though, his best friend got married and we all joined the party. After a lot of alcool, as we were all saying scary things around a fireplace, he said that he had something to tell us... that he never told to anyone... We were all ears, especially that he was quite a private guy, always polite, but rarely talking about himself. He said that he told all people around him that he let go of his former career because he was fed up of the wilderness... but that it wasn't exactly the truth. He said that the truth is because he saw something so scary, that he would never be able to go in the forest again. He said that what he saw, was something that look like a giant bat, at least 8 feet high, with big red eyes, like a red eye white mouse, and complete black fur and skin...the smell was that of sulfur and swamp, very intense...but that is not all... He said that this thing was able to talk, although it was not making senses, like someone saying a bunch of words without any meaning or sensible sentence being said... He was terrified... He said he didn't talk about it because he know no one would believe him... But he said 'i know what i saw...and i am never gonna go back there...' that's all he said and even posed his drink on the table and left. We all agreed that it was enough scary stories for the night and put water to extinguish the flames...but i must say we all went back fast to the cottage and wish each other good night. it was a weird moment.
@@Yerpompous no prob. It is weird to ear something like that from a big guy that has hands 2 times the size of yours and 6'3"" who is normally never afraid of anything and anyone...
Everyone from or near the Appalachians knows: If you see it no you didn't & if you hear it no you didn't! They say never answer when you hear your name called in the woods & do not attempt to rescue any hollering women or babies.
@@immystery3946 I'm Vietnamese, I'm not afraid of anything. I grew up in the Vietnam jungle where it is denser than any forest in North America---where you cannot even see what is lying on the ground due to dense jungle bushes. You can only navigate through your nose and ears, especially at night. As a result, I can sense things other cannot. I also have a sensitive nose that can pick up things that have little to no smell.
A large bear with severe mange might resemble one of the creatures described. But still creepy. After listening to these stories I don’t think I’ll be hiking by myself if at all. The times I have hiked alone I look back and realize that as a female I was taking too many risks and probably not considering the dangers.
Mange doesn't change eye color to red, nor does it turn fur black. It destroys the hair coat, and severe mange would render a creature hairless, not winged. Sounds more like Mothman.
The way you describe people, no matter their traits, always shows so much care and consideration for the individual. I get the feeling that you are a truly kindhearted person. Thank you for being like that - it is especially brave to be kind in the world we live in, and very needed!
Ive been backpacking and hiking for much of my childhood into young adulthood through much of California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Montana. I've seen packs of Coyotes, Black bears, Brown, Wolves, Deer, Moose, Buffalo and various other wildlife. I've only had three run ins with something Id consider strange. The first time I was 14 camping In the Oregon redwoods with 2 friends and one of their dads. We had just gone to bed and then all of a sudden we heard small rocks hitting the side of the tent. At first we thought it was pine needles. but then it continued and the rocks gradually got bigger. we yelled out Who ever is doing that its not funny, but it Continued. My friends dad got out of the Tent with a flashlight and 38. and went to Investigate. we all stayed in the tent and waited for what must of been 5 minutes, then we heard Rustling sounds near the tent, so we all stepped out of the tent to investigate with our flashlights not 15 feet from the tent stood a Large figure very harry Huge hands, Feet and Body. Me and my friends stand at 6'4 6'6 6'9. this Thing was atleast 9 feet tall and resembled an Gorilla in Body mass. It just stared us down for a Moment and grumbled. and then it slowly backed into the bush before turning out of sight. a few moments later the Father had returned too find us Frozen still outside the tent still dumbfounded. We stayed up all night and hiked out at daybreak. the next story I was 17 Hiking some trail in Tahoe California to a Lake called Pyramid lake just below Pyramid peak. I was Hiking ahead of my group with my Friend I brought along I knew the trail well as We had backpacked it several times growing up. me and my Friend were only half mile ahead of our group. Along the way we came across another Hiker He was dressed Like someone from the late 1800s, My friend had thought it strange But I not so much. there is a group that dresses up like the 49niners and does some hiking and trails with wagons horses and donkeys likes their forefathers for fun. I thought it was just a straggler. when he came up to us He asked us where we were headed and in which way is the nearest town. He then Introduced himself as Thomas he was about 5'6 dirty blonde hair, short cut, green eyes. He then asked if we could spare him some water, which we did and poured into his canteen. He made small talk on the weather, and fishing spots and then Wished us farewell. we watched him slowly hike away from us and like a mist he faded from thin air. was a very strange moment for us. we stood there and waited. Our group eventually caught up to us and we didn't speak of it. on our return several days later we again hiked ahead of the group and came up to that hill. and a Hiker approached he asked How much further away the lake was and if we knew any good fishing spots, me and my friend were frozen as it was the same person but dressed Normal. he continued as he did before with small talk and then said farewell and continued down the path. as he did he vaporized as before in a few moments. for My final encounter I was in Arizona I was 19 camping with my family. I went out exploring the rocks and Desert terrain. as I did I caught a foul smell near me but couldn't place it I got up onto a high rock too Look around and that's when I Heard my name being called from my mom but it was distorted somehow. it was coming from a rock formation 30 feet from me. But i could see my mom down below reading a book in her hammock. I called out to her, did you call my name? she replied no But be careful not to wander off too far and stay Hydrated, I turned around from where the sound had come from slowly as the hairs on the back of my neck felt like Ice. I saw a Figure It looked like a Deer but also a Teenage girl. The best way I think I could describe her would be if anyone here has ever played the game Skyrim. She resembled the Forsworn. she then let out a Light chuckle and then said in the voice of my younger sister, come and play. then backed back into the rock formation. I ran my ass all the way to the Rangers station, a Native man was the Ranger. I had told him of what I had seen. He immediately called the Tribal police and brought me to my family he told my Family that a Dangerous Man was on the loose and it wasn't safe for my family to be here and that a full refund would be granted But we had to leave immediately. My family did as he had asked. and we left within the hour. as we had left the campground many of the other campers were leaving. but a Parade of 15 SUVS of tribal and state Police were pulling into the campground. some of them were in Pickup trucks with Rifles and Semi automatics. I also saw Several Old men who had their faces painted in ash. To this Day I think I'm lucky to be alive and I think I know what it was I had Encountered. So If I ever go hiking out in Native lands again I have remembered too Find a Local Shaman and Purchase Blessed Totems and carry white ash with me. when I hike alone in the Mountains I bring Offerings with me too the spirits of the woods and streams, and I always ask for their permission and blessing before I attempt a hike.
That last story is just creepy. I’m from south Texas and do not understand anything about anything Native American. Do you mind being alittle more descriptive on what that creature looked like?
@@roelrodriguez5024 She was about 5'8 I'd guess very skinny Yellow eyes and looked like a Forsworn from skyrim the game but with the Headdress of a Deer she was covered in fur but with human skin and appearance on two legs I really don't know how else to describe her. I guess maybe a More sinister animalistic version of Heilung Anoana
That last one was something that rhymes with ThinTalker, wasn't it? Given the response from the tribesmen that's what comes to mind. I hadn't thought about the blessed totems, ash, and offerings though. I'll keep that advice in mind
Growing up my brother and I were both in scouting. He, boy scouts, me girl scouts. The boy scouts were a lot more active. I'm not exactly sure when this story occurred but my best recollection is that it was the early 1980's. Like I mentioned, the boy scouts were very active. Well, during this trip it wasn't really a sanctioned "boy scout" activity but several scout masters and their sons and a few more scouts decided that they were going to go camping and hiking at Mt. Baldy in New Mexico. We lived in the kcmo area so it was a pretty big deal for all of them so they were excited for the road trip and the overall experience. I believe they were planning to be gone for something like 10 days. So all packed up with gear and food and everything needed for such an adventure and off they went. After the allotted time, home they came. Looking at little scruffy but understandable after being on the road and out in nature for the time they were. Being curious about the trip and everything he experienced i started asking questions. How was the drive? What did you see? What did you eat? How was camping? Etcetera etcetra His answers were, for the most part, very vague which was semi infuriating because I wanted to know everything. It was like he was reluctant to answer any of my questions. Until I asked about the hiking they had done. He didn't say anything for a few minutes but just stared at me until he finally told me that something had happened and that they had barely made it back alive. But when they had made it back to camp they had immediately packed up everything and left. When I inquired further as to what the hell he was talking about he said that he didn't want to talk about it and to NEVER ask me about it again. My brother died a few years ago and to my knowledge he never told anyone anything more than what he told me that day. He wasn't ever the kind of man to frighten easily and never backed down from anything so whatever it was that this group of scouts and their scout masters encountered was something that none of them could have defeated. I would love to know of any folk lore about Mt. Baldy to maybe try to understand where could have frightened him so badly.
Look into the 411 disappearances. There are many stories by David Paulides about missing people in state parks. He is a former detective. Very credible. The stories are documented. They also raise the hair on the back of your neck and kept me out of state parks. I won’t go there. I’m glad your brother got out alive.
Yeah it was probably some pedo shit he didn't want to or couldn't talk about. For some reason, and yes, this is documented.. more "successful" pedos tend to operate in organized cult like groups where mutual pedos gather to create things that allow them access to young children.. Like catholic priests for example.. private schools/clubs, (teachers).., and obviously boy/girl scout organizations.. And BTW, when I say, "successful" I mean the ones that usually tend to get away with the sick perversion. Truly deviant and pure evil.
Um well from what I’ve heard and have experienced a couple times was the “skinny boy or flesh pedestrian” as I call them but others call them Skinwalkers I am terrified using that word because even you could have just a little bit of Native American blood in you and it can call its attention to you family friends hell even strangers and it’s happens mostly at night in the pitch black it’s really terrifying and nerve wracking to be truly honest. I’m sorry for your loss and he sounded genuinely terrified and people would be surprised how many details people can remember about specific experiences. I’m sure there is stories out there a lot do happen on roads campgrounds and hiking. I’m actually going to look it up so thank you for reminding me of the place I can let you know if I find anything hope I do.
@@jessicadanna5206I'm Mexican and as Hispanics we have native American but central and South American in us and Spanish and I can say I have a strong spiritual sense and get really scared and creeped out when I think about these things . And I get chills sometimes and with my native side I think I have a strong spiritual awareness and feel like my family was cursed or is attacked by bad stuff and my family has said this too but I believe in God and I pray about this and for my protection and my families. I casted out any curses on us and sent em back tenfold on their sender recently and things cleared up and saw spiritual videos on UA-cam that were recommended to me right after this saying good things and about witches getting their karma and bad things happening to them cuz they tried to bring me down and my loved ones. It was weird to see that after I prayed about it andi really felt it in my heart and the prayer felt strong. Be safe and may God bless you and me and protect us and our families and the people on here researching this stuff.
That electric "i can't move" feeling isnt some supernatural power. Its just an enhanced fear response. As a former soldier ive seen it when certain people go into combat. They just freeze, like a statue.
@@juliadixon8465 I wonder if you'd go "oh, it's just that product of amplified senses" or you'd pack up and leave as fast as you can. I bet I know the answer...
I'd argue it's the exact middle between fight or flight that causes this. Like, your mind may say fight, but your instincts are saying flight which leads to 0
Nah. Purple Heart veteran here. I’ve felt a normal fear freeze when I was a kid and encountered an alligator. This is something entirely different because even when you’ve Got a cool head your limbs won’t respond. It’s like the nerves have been turned off.
You know what scares me more than the supernatural..... people dressings up in monster costumes and hunting other people. Using these old stories to get away with kidnapping and murder.
Especially the stories involving children disappearing (and sometimes reappearing) make me think of people playing dress up and drugging & kidnapping people. Because contrary to my favourite cryptids, evil people are known to exist everywhere. And if you already have antisocial tendencies, spending much time in isolation can amplify those.
I live in the Appalachian mts. Near where the second story takes place. If the couple weren't making up a story. it sounds like it could have been a wendigo, based on the smell and noises they heard... or even possibly an injured bear... I've seen animals with some nasty wounds in those woods. I once saw a buck that had a massive tear in its side, that had eaten away all its flesh to the point you could see all his internal organs. I could smell and hear him before I ever saw him. The poor guy was in immense pain, I put him out of his misery with a heart shot from about 50m...
The Appalachian Mountains are a very scary and deadly place from the stories I've heard it sounds crazy with all the monsters P.S. have you ever watched mountain monsters if you haven't watch it. it is a cool show
Poor creature, you did a very good thing by ending its pain. I live in Canada in West-central AB about 90 minutes from Jasper National park. We have a lot of black & brown bears, cougars, wolves & coyotes, as well as wolverines, stoats, Pine Martins, moose, elk & deer in our area, along with the occasional mountain goat & bighorn sheep in the summer months. Because of the high predator count & being near the Yellowhead highway, It’s not uncommon to see a prey animal with absolutely horrendous injuries, either from a failed kill attempt by a predator or a run-in with a vehicle during the night. It’s never failed to amaze me that they can survive as long as they do with such truly horrific injuries. Needless to say, if we happen across an animal in that shape, we immediately put it down or else alert the nearest Fish & Wildlife office/Park Rangers (depending on which direction the animal is seen going). I’ve definitely seen some odd things in my life, some explicable, some not. I just know I was raised to respect the forest spirits, which I do to this day.
Thank you for your compassion! We lived near Yellowstone for 8-9 years and we were riding in a snow coach when I saw this poor bison with a huge scab on his flank…really painful looking. It appeared to be healing, so hopefully he made it. Very bad time of the year for such an injury, but at least the flies were gone for the season.
A bunch of people tripping on shrooms in the middle of the woods having differing accounts of what happened to them while tripping balls is totally crazy. Couldn't imagine how that would happen.
@@frenchmoxiedid you even listen to the story? He said only the dead kid tested negative. But they might not have even tested for psilocybin, we don't know because this is just some story told online.
I Was a trail worker in Yosemite and worked around lake Eleanor for a few months and the missing man was being searched by the man's father it was quite sad to see the father looking for days to find no trace.
I'm reminded of a story where a man would tell stories that his kids didn't believe, because they were too bizarre. It wouldn't be until later that they found out they were true stories. I forget the stories, but what I do remember was thinking, "How many stories are lost because people didn't repeat them, because they just didn't believe them".
"where a man would tell stories the kids later found out were true" (massive anticipation of the stories) "anyway I forget the stories" FSDAGHDALKSJFLSDGH
My grandmother came from Scotland d to Massachusetts when she was 17. She was to be an indentured for 10 years to pay for her steerage ticket. I only remember a few of her stories. That was around 1900. By the time I wanted to send her a tape recorder and tapes so she could share her life stories she had dementia. The stories are lost.
When the Spanish first arrived to the Americas and began charting and mapping them, the interior & forest lands were often named as badlands and generally avoided. They often illustrated giants and different beasts marking these areas. The native Indians also had great respect for the dangers of these badlands and entered with caution. Even today, millions of acres of national forest are still untamed and city folk enter at their own risk. Thing is, modern men have lost that age old fear and respect for the badlands. We are born with a certain 6th sense spiritually but most people today tune this out. God created this for our spirits to gauge danger that is near or lurking in the shadows that we cannot see.
Every culture has outlandish myths. The spiritual beliefs of native americans hold no more validity than those of the europeans themselves - all based on ignorance and superstition.
That "bad feeling" is really interesting. Was out at a buddies house in the Black Hills of South Dakota. They have a gated driveway to keep campers/tresspassers out, you can camp anywhere on state land out there, there are also lots of UTV rentals. One night I was opening the gate to leave drove through, our 4th night visiting, I instantly got a bad feeling like I was being watched when I went to close the gate. I never had a concern previously. Looked around a second as I closed the gate, Got back in the truck quickly, looked around, saw a set of eyes reflecting from about 60 ft up the hill. Through a thin layer of tall grass. They ended up spotting a mountain lion out there a couple times over the next few days. Creeped me the heck out, but apparently that 6th sense of danger is alive and well in me. 😂😊
Just like Michael and Derek, my husband's Uncle Mike Hearon disappeared without a Trace in the Smoky mountains as well. It was in an area known as Happy valley. This happened in August of 2008 and we still don't have answers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t go out alone like this. In truth I don’t even want to go with a group. Read the missing 411. It’s a series of books that detail missing people in the US and around the world.
Wilderness areas have predators, bears, wolves and mountain lions , and sketchy people doing sketchy things. A compass is essential gear even if you are only hiking a trail. I understand the city folk who go missing much harder to explain seasoned hunters and hikers going missing.
If you study the cases of missing people the high strangeness cases indicate many things not on your list. Those who return alive have very colourful stories, if they retain their memories.
@@johnsinger8503 You are the one that amuses people. You talk just like an ignorant backwoods hillbily. The north is far from all Citys and sidewalks, and mass amounts of people. Plus, everyone does not work in a factory.
I love that you make a point to convert miles to km for your non-US watchers. It may may seem like a small gesture, but really helps in world building. So thank you for that.
Having working in Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Big Bend, Isle Royale and Death Valley then working just outside Zion and Rocky Mtn NP, I concur with the Ranger. Many people who enter these Parks are in a mindset that nothing will happen to them because they are smarter than those who get lost. The Parks are enchanting, alluring, offer some amazing photo opts and when common sense switches (Off) and the Cavelier replaces it, trouble is now brewing. Maps are available at the Visitor Center, a compass is available at your local Camping store. An Emergency kit is also available, nice to have some insurance. Bear spray is available in the Parks that offer it. Have met many ill prepared people out in the back country with little supplies set up for a 2 mile hike not a 20 mile hike. People run out of water, run out of food, run out of common sense, run out of options. It is 2024 and people still get within 10ft of a 2k lb male bison....wtf? Saw a guy run up to a Grizzly sow, with 3 cubs trying to get a close up with his phone. Luckily his wife barked at him and he turned around before the Sow noticed his close proximity to the cubs. - The good thing about these stories is hopefully it will reduce the percentage of visitations by tourists and give the staff a break😂.
It's not so bad if you're armed and prepared, although I wouldn't do it anymore. It does force you to face those fears which isn't a terrible thing for most folks.
I enjoyed the stories and narration style. My only recommendation is to more clearly wrap up one story before jumping into the next one. A brief overview of the timeframe, location & main characters would also be helpful at the beginning of each story. It would be courteous to acknowledge the sources such as David Paulides Missing 411 series when it's applicable.
WOW, we got a know-it-all-this-is-how-you-are-supposed-to-do-it on the scene. How about letting people do what they want with their channel instead of trying to make them like you? You got a lot of nerve critiquing other's work. And you call yourself a faithful servant.. All I see here is an unfaithful servant depending on her own thoughts. Sometimes the best thing to do is to remain quite.
We had a guy at work tell his family he was going to walk the dog. When he didn't return the authorities were contacted. Hundreds of people looked for him. A week later, his dog was found without it's collar but he was never found. It's a complete mystery.
Yup, the message was sent back. This released animal doesn't need its owners collar anymore.. 😆😆 🔗*imagine how offensive walking a dog on a leash in the woods can be, civilized educated man 🤣
Noooo dude WTF. I’ve seen black shadow figures before!!!!! Two chased me in the forest without making footstep noises. I’ve never heard anyone else mention such an experience. I KNEW in my bones immediately that pure evil was chasing me. I used to doubt my own senses, but I now believe in my experience. Holy shit, I’m shaking and crying thinking about the fear I felt in those moments. I know without a doubt that I would have died had they caught me and never been found. They seemed to have flashlights in their hands, though, maybe simulating human shapes to trick me into not being scared. They never spoke a word while chasing me, though, just two pitch black shadow figures sprinting after me without making a sound.
Dude I got chills rn and scared. I had something like that happen to me in the city in an alleyway at night. My gf left out of nowhere she just wanted to go and I was getting my stuff ready but she had gone out the alleyway already and left out of sight . And out of nowhere a man that looked shadowy and dark walked in and I wasn't scared at first and it looked like he was acting drunk and figured he had to pee but he kept walking down and when I got my stuff and started walking away towards the other end and my body turned away from him I heard his footsteps pickup, it's sounded like he was running after I looked away n I quickly turned around and it looked like he was chasing me for the split second i looked and i booked it terrified that i was gonna die and it felt creepy as fk in my body, my heart was pounding and i had to squeeze through these objects at the other end of the alleyway and my jacket got caught and I was so scared I was gonna die I had to yank my jacket off the thing that was there then i was free and i had to squeeze through two storage containers and ran to my gf telling her i almost died and she wouldnt have known. I asked why she left so abruptly like she sensed something and she didn't wait for me. I think I would've died and went missing or something it felt so scary it was unreal. This was in Cincinnati Ohio btw which I feel has a lot of evil and demons there. There's just a bad negative vibe in this area. I think there's reptilians and illuminati here for real. A lot of people I knew say that this city and area had bad energy and it's sticker than mud. People get stuck here like I did and i ended up homeless for a year and had lots of bad experiences and met lots of fucked up people unlike where I'm from which is southern California. This happened right after sunset when It got dark and my gf took off like a scared deer thinking the cops were gonna come or something and I thought that was weird and took my time to get my stuff when this weird guy came in this quiet dark alleyway. I couldn't see any details of him just a dark silhouette of a person. I felt complete fear like I was gonna die and normally don't get spooked like that but this moment felt weird all of it. Me and her later stopped in this stoop down the block and I think the guy that chased me passed us by but I'm not totally sure that it was him. It kinda looked like his silhouette but not 100% sure it was but this guy looked at me like he was mad and stared into my soul a bit. He gave me a creepy stare as he walked by like as if he was mad he couldn't catch me. It was a weird look and I never seen him before and at this time I was already homeless for almost a year or about a year and knew other homeless people that lived there and friends with a lot of them and knew pretty much all of them or seen em around but this guy kinda looked homeless but not familiar to me and I'm not a wimp or a scaredy cat by any means but this experience was truly terrifying for some reason. It just had bad vibes all around it . I felt it in my gut. At the time I felt whatever was chasing me wasn't human even though it looked like it and when he showed up it was really quiet and no one else was around on the other side of the street where he came from so i felt if anything happened to me no one would've known or seen. I truly felt like I was running for my life that day and it gives me chills thinking about it.
You got chased by Jinn. They are extra terrestrial entities from the Mensa Constellation. They are pirates. A nuisance being. Hatman are related to them. No bull.
I set out with a friend to hike the Appalachian Trail in April. He went home after we reached the NOC, and I went on solo for a few weeks. To keep myself entertained, I listened to a conspiracy theories podcast while I walked by myself over the wooded mountains. I ate up the stories as eagerly as the bag of jolly ranchers I carried with me, but there was one episode I decided not to listen to, Missing 411. Months after returning from the trail, I finally have the courage to listen to these stories, and I was surprised to hear that one of then took place at Newfound Gap, a place I traveled through on the solo portion of my journey. I remember brushing my teeth by the side of the road and hitching a ride to Gatlinburg. I even have a couple pictures. It was all good vibes while I was there though.
we don't know what's in the depth of the ocean nor what creatures linger in the woods. i've heard so many stories about "the wendigo" and I'm pretty sure this thing is out there although i've never experienced it myself. but i can feel it. he can imitate voices to lurk people in and is supposed to smell like sulfur and rotten flesh, just like it's mentioned in the video. whatever you do, do NOT start running, because this will trigger his hunting instinct. he's quicker than you anyway. act like you didn't hear or see him, walk (DONT RUN) out of the woods and do not look him in the eyes. fire and sage is supposedly protective but idk. just wanted to get that info out there in case anyone experiences something strange in the woods. stay safe.
A lot of these stories sound like something demonic to be honest. Foul odor, hearing voices or high pitch frequencies, fire (light) and sage for protection. Wouldn't it be wild if these are just animals possessed by evil spirits.
I think there are things deep in the wilderness that we don't know about, and I hope it stays that way. I think we all know that humans would ruin anything interesting.
99% of the time when we make a discovery we don't plant new ones for the next generation to discover. The world used to be filled with wonder and awe but nowadays everyone's depressed..
@@shirleylynch6132 I think if humanity wasn't ruled by psychopathic criminals who intentionally work to corrupt mankind for their own selfish benefits and occult belief systems, we could be a much more benevolent species. Humanity is in poor shape right now, but it could certainly be corrected. 🤷♂
Coming from a family of "wonderers", people used to be so connected to nature. The rivers, the woods, the mountain etc, and all the beings and spirits that came with them. We had unity at one point and then people started leaving. Breaking connection to a realm that instinctually protects its own. My ancestors taught us to fear the night but also respect it. The energy you give is what will be returned to you threefold. Believe it or not, I dont mind, but there are some things that are inherently real and you're taught to discourage yourself from truth.
When hear these stories it makes me wonder how so many people living van life or car lifes go into the wilderness by themselves. I just think its terrifying. I remember going to a camp ground in Texas called sulphur creek. We rented a little cabin, its was big enough to fit two bunk beds and a sink. I remember having to use the restroom and the community bathroom were about a my block away. I went outside the door of the cabin and beyond the light that was above us it was pitch black. I mean so dark I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face. Its like the dark swallowed everything around it. Terrifying! I went straight back in and started looking for a bucket. Lol. I couldn't imagine being in the middle of vast forest like Yellowstone.
I’ve grown up in what most people would consider far northern Canada. Well into the bush most of my life. You don’t mess around. If you don’t know. Don’t go. You can ask and learn easily. But don’t think you can just go.. some of this world isn’t “ours”
Thanks, well said. The world is not ours because we share it with other animals, and plants. It was created by God and we need to take care of and respect it.
When I was a kid and growing up in the country side in Pakistan, I used to have a 3 ish ft tall dog, about 100lbs. We used to walk him with two chains around his neck I would hold one and my friend would hold the other one. This thing was a beast. There was an old oak tree about nine hundred years old and the dog would not go near the tree and even if you passed near the tree he was stick his tail in between his legs like a wuss. He would avoid even looking at that tree. There was a small pond under that tree and in the hot blazing summer for some strange reason the pond water would always be close to a freezing point
A 900 year old oak tree?? It must have been ready to crash down any second. I've actually seen an old tree drop a 200 pound limb because of rot, and heard the horrible noise. It can be deadly to walk under very old oak trees. The dog must have sensed a rotting limb, or heard the beginning of a slow growing crack.
@@cathyf.2672I worked with a tree removal service that did urban work and we cut down a tree that had to have been 500 years old. Near the center at the base there iron rods that had to have been hammered into the tree a good 200 years prior. The boss was a fucking disgusting pig of a man with no interest in any of this and we destroyed the stump the same day.
They say dogs and cats can see what we can't sometimes. They say spirits draw energy like heat making it cold or electric ,like draining batteries fast. That tree being that old holds alot of history, and if anyone was buried by it, the dog can smell that through the tree. Because the roots take up the remains. I would avoid the tree. Tail tucked is a sign the dog is scared. Animals can even sense earthquakes. If nature ever goes completely silent, get to safety ASAP!
My parents used to go for long rides in the more country part of Kansas City. One night they came home and told me that as they were slowly driving in the country dad told mom to look next to their car. They were on the road this thing was about 8-10 ft away in a field. It was running with the car and when it decided to leave it took off so fast they couldn't believe it. Dad said it looked like a wolf only on all fours it was taller than their Chevy. They were both in awe over the size. I believe they spotted a dogman.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... I've listened to every single one of mr. Ballen's stories and only a few have actually made me feel genuinely sick to the pit of my stomach with pure fear 😨 but you've managed to keep me hanging on every word, not really wanting to hear the next one, yet keeping me completely engrossed in the stories. The way you tell then is TOP TIER...thank u for completely terrifying me before bedtime 😁😁
The Boy Scouts had a disappear while they were camping in the San Bernardino Mountains in S. California. The boy said he was not feeling well and so, decided not to go with the troop when they hiked to the peak (climbing from about 8,000 feet to 11,000 feet). The leaders told the boy to not leave camp. When they returned several hours later the boy was missing. The leaders left the boy BY HIMSELF in camp. It was not until some 10 years later that the boys remains were found. It would appear that he decided that he was feeling better and decided to hike to the peak and meet up with the troop. At some point, he fell off the trail and his remains were found scattered about 100 yards below the trail. Getting lost in a remote area is very easy thing to do. It doesn't take a monster to make it happen.
How stupid to leave a child alone when you are supposed to be responsible for them! I know it was a different time then. But this is why we have policies in place now. You can't just leave a kid alone. Poor kid may have been scared precisely because he was alone, and wanted to catch up with the others. Anything could have happened to him even if he had stayed put as they told him to do. That said, I saw a news report recently of a toddler being left all alone at daycare, in a darkened room, all because her mother was 15 minutes late picking her up. Surely that went against policy, and yet they did it anyway. The mom arrived 15 minutes after she was originally supposed to, so thankfully the child wasn't alone for long. But had stood on a chair to look out the glass part of the door and was probably terrified, being left alone. There's seriously some idiots out there, careless, impatient, selfish and reckless who should not be responsible for other people's kids. Tragic that boy lost his life due to the lack of common sense of the adults charged with watching and caring for him.
I don’t trust the Boy Scouts to have any supervision over young boys. Who knows what horrible things were done with this child by a supervisor or tag along. Then killed to get rid of evidence. Far stretch- but not after that massive lawsuit against them.
@@dermaltec7243 it takes minutes to hours to die of a fall wound, but it’ll take days for searchers to find you. By then, any heat your body was producing is gone so thermals and IR won’t help much.

There's a spot about 5 minutes outside of my town. We went back in there hiking and camping one night. We found a bunch of old rock foundations from cabins and such. So we set up tent and start to crash out. Keep in mind it's pitch black out there at night. You're under a dense tree canopy in these woods. About two hours later I hear footsteps outside the tent in the leaves. The dog sits upright and backs up against me and all his fur is standing on end. My girlfriend is looking at me with her eyes wide. we're just listening. The light inside the tent is like a night light that barely gives off any, just enough to see what's next to you. Why didn't the dog bark? He's always a yappy dick head. Barks at shadows. The foot steps stop about 10 feet from the ten and we hear this woman's voice say "Hello there!" Very cheerful sounding as if she met us on the trail. So I said "um hello. Can I help you with something?" And she didn't respond. So I grab my light and walk outside. Nobody is there. No lights in the woods, no foot steps, no foot prints. To sound at all. No mushrooms involved lol
@@Treesuss if I had to guess, I'd say something like that. I don't know of any person who'd walk back in there with no light source. It's double canopy woods and almost no moonlight makes its way through
@@SugarMilkbro I was in the zigzag forest area camping with a guide. This guy knew his stuff been out in the woods most of his life. We camped out in the wilderness next to a stream not in any official camping spot. The first thing my buddy did was build a fire circle and had me gather enough fire wood to last all night. He told me it was because of cougars. I thought it was a little strange the way he said it but I complaid. After we had the wood and he got a very small fire started then we put up the tent and the rest of camp. That night we were drinking by the fire when I heard a baby crying. I went to get up and my buddy. Put his hand ony arm with a grip like a vice. Literally pulled my back into my log. What he said still spooks me to this day. He said there is no baby out there. Stay by the fire and pretend like you don't hear anything. So we did just that. We didn't talk anymore just stayed in front of the fire. Then after about 10 minutes the baby's cry just stopped. About 30 seconds later a woman started sobbing and crying asking for help. Same thing I started to stand up and he looks at me and shakes his head. After a few minutes it stops and I felt I don't know how to describe it but I felt like a presence leave. I see my buddy relax. Then he says this to me. That was why we built the fire first thing. People get lost all the time out here. There are other things that live in the woods things science won't acknowledge. It's best to leave those things alone. Not all of them are bad. But there was no woman or baby out in those woods. Just something trying to lure us away from the safety of the camp. People go missing in the woods all the time. Those people are good folks just trying to help or curious. You don't get curious in the middle of the woods at night. You stay by the fire in your camp. When the woods go quiet you go quiet. Then he told me about 30 seconds before that baby cried the woods went silent. The experience gave me a lot of knowledge but gave me a huge respect for the wilderness and taught me that there are other things out there that we don't want to think about or acknowledge in our safe secure homes and cities.
The line “experienced hiker”, to me, means that they knew their death was waiting. There is no way I would ever call myself “experienced”, but I have been out there enough to know I am not the top of the food chain, no matter what anyone has ever said. One misstep, on predator, one rockslide, one sip from the brain amoeba laden water, and you die. Accepting that can indeed make you experienced. But disappearing, that’s just creepy for those left behind.
I'm from a reservation in the Pacific Northwest and it was told to me that it's bad luck to even have a slip and fall in the woods. Obviously because you lose your sense of direction and can get turned around but you leave yourself looking vulnerable to the eery unknown forces. I know from experience. I fell and end up being lost kept going in circles. Later on after I found my way out my sister said it was probably Sasquach playing tricks on me😳😳😳
If i were in your shoes i believe i would start listening much closer to your sister, she not only is wise and somewhat educated on this subject, if their is such a thing since they all could be liars [SABE] we ASSUME they are the ones doing these things since they have admitted to such things to those they interact with. Most of these creatures are not very well behaved, some are very pleasant to be around, a real joy to be able to ask questions that the answers come from the horses mouth , keeping in mind that the answers are to the best of their knowledge, based on information passed down from one generation to the next, no official record keeping. The female i have known since 1983 led me and my uncle to believe they were gorillas, she had read my mind because i was thinking the primate s are what our gov. used for testing nerve agents and mustard gases made exclusively for wars. Way back in the day we had no internet only what we had learned from the TV or movies library teachers and universities. One of the militaries outer perimeter fences was only 1000 feet from my front door, however it was a very lg. base covering nearly a million acres. My uncle and i and he worked there as a civilian testing weapons, he said friends told him they use gorillas all the time and other monkeys, none of the gorillas were big silverbacks only standard size 2-3 hundred lbs all raised in captivity. However we didn't know that type of testing was long gone animal activist stopped it. At this time i had 1 year left of college before leaving to start medical school 800 miles north from home, she and her youngsters would come out and greet me on holidays xmas, it was a difficult time in my life if i wasn't in class i was studying, i had to maintain a high b grade average to keep scholarship .. Sorry but i tend to babble a bit, i recently retired and have found that i have way too much free time on my hands, and never learned to play golf and just started fishing and i love it. Certain SABE can erase your memory it seems up to 24 hrs. they get carried away and the person can lose their perspective and get lost, some having no idea why they are in the forest, some will remember what happen weeks later or longer some never do remember, When in the past you ever felt like someone was watching you, that's a real feeling and you most likely were being observed, they can be 3 feet away and you not see them . What are they ? don't absolutely know for sure either do they some do not Myra doesn't really have a clue, but her DNA says she is half human other half is still to this day unknown no DNA is similar to it anywhere on this planet, tech. it should not combine with human DNA, YET IT DOES like a ducks DNA mixing with a cows DNA it won't mix and shouldn't I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THE OTHER HALF IS ANGELIC based on 50 years of interaction they heal as christ healed, a scratch nearly instantly, broken bones 2-3 days fully healed like it never happened, and can also heal human beings from a multitude of illness, including cancer, they are completely immune to all snake bites, in fact they enjoy eating poisonous snakes head first, mosquitoes are their worst enemy , they use garlic gloves , and they have their own language,
You know what the most funny irony about watching "What lurks beneath!" Is the AD for USDA Forestry Personnel & Rangers!!! .GOV immediate openings available!!! Maybe staff is being *terminated* !?!?? DON'T know if I should laugh or cry !!?
What always irritates me in these stories are the people zipping their tent right up and turning on the flashlight. Congrats idiot, now you're in a well-lit flimsy target, not able to see anything or move anywhere, and I'm sure that 2mm nylon is going to protect you.
I spend tons of time in my local nat park, often into the night and off trail, totally alone. I do conservation research and wildlife photography, and often wander into new areas to explore. I feel more comfortable alone in nature than I do around other people in the city, even in conditions most regular people would consider terrifying. Hiking in the moonlight hearing 2 dozen coyotes howl a chorus from all directions, rustling in bushes, a surprise wildlife encounter, it's all great fun! Don't be afraid people get out and enjoy nature!!!
There was a man that worked for the same airline as me in the Seattle area. He went to Mt. Rainer to take pictures, this was back in the nineteen nineties and they still haven't found him. Very sad.
I used to live/ grew up in Oahu Hawaii and growing up I was taught there’s spirits in the mountains that to respect them or bad things can happen. It’s always resonated with me.
We went swimming in Big beach Maui. The spirit of the ocean flattened my then girlfriend. I told her to be careful in that surf. It picked her up and slammed her hard. But I had a blast that day, can't wait back someday.
This should be a warning to novice day hikers it is astounding how outdoor experts come up missing so often. And it also amazing to hear how prepared they were before the left for their hikes yet that doesn’t seem to matter
My gosh, Joel Tomazin was the guy that disappeared when me and my Coworkers backpacked to Lake Eleanor. We arrived there, and the next morning when we woke up, we saw park rangers and helicopters. We spoke with the ranger and he debriefed us on the situation. We tried to help look, and saw a ton of other hikers helping. Zero signs, not even a sign of his kayak. We still talk about it at work, and about how there were zero traces of his disappearance! He was an experience outdoorsman too.
My brother and I had a similar incident to Jeremy's werewolf, in Utah, in the late 1980s, but whatever the thing was, it was even more aggressive, and actually hurled a large rock at our car before racing at us, on a dark night and a winding road, complete with deadly drop offs. The fact that we were in a ragtop made the scenario that much scarier; the thrown rock hit our windshield and bounced sideways, leaving a spiderweb of cracked glass, and it crossed our minds that we were e tra vulnerable without a metal canopy. Both pacifist animal lovers, neither of us would ever harm anyone or anything, except, we discovered, in self defense; we spoke not a single word, but the message that passed between was clear: Get out of this alive. We couldn't back up, so instead accelerated forward, as fast as the winding road allowed; too fast, and we would have plummeted down hundreds of feet, while too slow would have given the creature a quicker opportunity to get to us. We kind of smacked it as it ran into us, but not hard enough to knock it down, or over the cliff; we kept going until it disappeared in the rear view, and until we hit a small town. Ten years ago, on Christmas Eve, we talked almost all night, having had a falling out for a few months, and talked about that incident for the very first time in decades; right after we got into town, we talked about what had happened, like trying to figure out what the thing was, but then didn't mention it again, ever, for whatever reason. We couldn't decide if it stopped because of our aggressive (as possible) response, or if it realized we were leaving as quickly as possible. My brother died just hours later, and I'm more than grateful we made up, as well as having discussed that event, and we were both surprised by the other's complete recall of that night. I'm still not sure what it was, but we were both certain it wasn't anything we'd ever seen before, in person, photos, or videos, and neither of us saw anything like it ever again.
It all sounds very demonic and by demonic I mean it sounds like an encounter with something half flesh half spirit, an evil one at that. They say that the abominable offspring of women and fallen angels can't go up or down so they are stuck and hidden in our very realm.
LONG??? He jumps from one story to the next with no segue whatsoever. Without so much as a breath in between. Stories end unexpectedly. I WISH they were full/long versions. 😐
As a hiker who sometimes hikes alone…I believe everyone who tells me their weird experiences and stories of what they see & experienced…but I also don’t believe them, if you know you know. We all have this experience of denial because it rips us of our reality. But I believe because I’ve been there & I wouldn’t call anyone’s bluff. I’ll probably just say, “ok, let’s leave right now.” 😂
The mushroom they showed while talking about "psychedelics" was an Amanita Muscaria mushroom. It contains muscimol and ibotenic acid (but none of the psychedelic compound psilocybin). These compounds ARE "psychoactive," however auditory and visual hallucinations are uncommon and minimal when present, and the psychological effects are more akin to fear and confusion. What this means that mushroom they showed , the Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) doesn't really fall into the category of "psychedelics," and was a poor choice for the video...
the story of the kids who ate the shrooms is as spooky as it gets. i think the dealer really was there but he was abducted. i think Simon was killed. and i think Pam and Simon's sister entered into a separate timeline than Anders and Simon.
That story scares the fuck out of me. One of my theories was the dealer guy was a trickster spirit who had a seriously malicious streak. He started the shit that got everyone separated, and it would explain the differences in memories. He messed everything up and vanished.
I made the mistake of trying to take a nap while listening to this video, and that story absolutely scared the hell out of me. So creepy and dark. I wish they would do another autopsy on Simon! And if the other three were tested to see if they only have shrooms in their system, or if maybe there were other sugstances on the shrooms, etc. So crazy!
This story I have not tried to look up! But based on how creepy it is, I am going to guess it is more than likely based on a true event. Much love and shalom!
The giant wolves & werewolf sightings can easily be explained by the possibility that Dire wolves aren't actually extinct, they're simply so few in number and keep to these remote areas humans typically don't frequent. Since we do not know their behavioral norms, it is also possible that, like bears, they lift up on their hind legs to make themselves appear larger when they feel threatened. Mackenzie wolves - a subspecies of timber wolves have been known to reach 200 pounds and be the size of an average human man - it is also possible that dire wolves and other wolves like timber wolves created an unknown/undiscovered subspecies as well. It's the pre-discovery argument of panda bears all over again.
There have been werewolf/dogman sightings all over the world and in every culture. I'm of the mind that they may be sentient and (as some recorded incidents have stated) intelligent. If that is the case, I'm of the mind that some of the areas in national parks may contain small remnants of their civilizations that are under the auspices of certain government bodies. Just a theory.
@@emptyandcold24 Just a theory, Perhaps the reason there are similarities in so many cultures has to do with the fact that the human species originated in the same place and then spread over the world. May-hap many of these similar stories are just the evolution of an age old shared history that has evolved in different directions regionally. Large wolves did, in fact, exist during early human history. Could also be due to biased interpretations/recordings. For example, Roman depictions of Druids, or how Rome treated other cultural deities as variants of their own rather then distinctly unique creations. (That doesn't mean those gods had a shared background originally.)
I've been listening to the extensive backlog of your incredible content. Thank you so much for putting all the time and energy into making videos like this one.
A few factors though. Once you're in some wilderness area with bears or mountain lions, generally you can't assume people being at the top of the food chain all the time. Wolves too, if there's an established and well-coordinated pack living in that area. Any of those can definitely snatch a person up if they're not aware and get ambushed. Other than that, elk, moose, and buffalo can totally rofl-stomp somebody if they're in a bad mood. If that gets followed up by any scavengers, there may be little left to show of somebody. Still in the category of animals, wolverines and badgers can wreck a person with a ferocity that doesn't match their size. Take the presence of those seriously as well and give them space if aware. Terrain and weather definitely presents real threats, but you generally mitigate that by staying on trail. This doesn't seem to account for all the missing-411 type cases though. Last but not least, other people. You're away from where there's any regular or quick law enforcement, and you can get a few deranged souls that have no qualms about murdering for whatever reasons. Could be anything from wandering into the territory of an irl murder-hobo and doing something that upsets them, or something about you strikes the fancy of a serial killer. If there's scant to no evidence or the MO isn't obvious, then they can get away with whatever they do in the woods unimpeded. If you're somewhere far enough into nature on your own, then having some means to defend yourself is never a bad idea.
Good points, thank you. I knew about dangerous bears, boar, mountain lions and "Murder-Hobo" but not aware of how deadly wolves, wolverine, badgers and big game animals can be. There are so many natural ways for a person to get lost, or die in the forest.
Thought the trip one was pretty crazy, here's my thoughts: - Siren was likely a forest fire watchtower or something of the sort (possibly a weather station) - Most hallucinations were 100% side effects of the mushrooms - Aside from hallucinations, psilocybe mushrooms also can cause color exaggerations (could explain the white dust) - The reason the dealer guy went mute, etc (seeing scary things) was likely that the group dynamics had caused his trip to sour I cannot explain the death, that could've been anything, and I could only imagine how traumatic the death of a friend & brother would be while tripping mushrooms.
Hi, park ranger here.* we close the parks down to search the woods for people hiding stuff as well as to make sure stuff is safe to reopen. If we allow the parks to be open 100% threw the year we wouldn’t be able to make sure no one is hiding out, or that predator animals are not over populating. It’s kinda hard when people are hunting or hiking and camping. Also, it’s hush hush cus some people hide stuff out here like drugs and other things that could be sick and perverse so letting em know that where looking for em makes things harder. Imagine a live stream of police looking for someone on the run. Makes no sense right? Long story short we close parks to take a fine comb threw it once in awhile. Like you would spring clean your house.
@@nospoon4799 ah yes because proper grammer is what people hiring park rangers are looking for not basic tracking sirvival skills along with knowledge of fauna and flora.
@@distilledfour25 I believe a level of education is required to be a park ranger. Threw vs through. It just suggests a level of education below what would be required to be an actual park ranger. Or am I missing something?
@@nospoon4799 how about the fact that you dont need a degree in english.. How does improper spelling/grammer correlate to person isnt a park ranger. Do you think all park rangers are literate because it requires a degree? And based on that assumption should we also assume that any and all mechanics should be literate because they have degrees and if they arent literate theyre not mechanics?
My friend and I have encountered that type of screeching entity that leaves you not wanting to talk about it in fear of being treated as crazy. This was at a place called Ghost Hill near Luskville Quebec. I get chills and shivers at how similar your retelling of these stories are to mine.
@@anthonyshanaman5637 It's not really hard to just not comment something like that. Honestly go find something better to do LMAO. Anyways all they were trying to say is it would just take more time to google it and all of that, I mean yeah you could take the time to google it if you were that interested but I don't really think you got the point. Have a lovely day!
@@anthonyshanaman5637 that's incorrect. We went metric during my childhood, and I got the job of being navigator, and converting kms to miles for Dad, on country drives. He probably didn't need to know; it just kept me occupied. I'd look up the kilometres in distance to the next town on the map, divide by 8, then times 5 to get a reasonable idea of the miles. Only approximate but close enough. A mile is longer than a kilometre. 1 mile roughly equals 1.6 kilometres.
I grew up in WA, we as a family visited my parents home state where extended family still live today. I once had to park off the road near the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park because we didn't get there in time to enter and find and secure a protected tent site. During the night my vehicle was shaken, because of the many micro earthquakes I have always been able to feel, I ignored it until one of my children woke up starting to freak out. I remembered quickly the stories told by my extended family and told my daughter to calm down and play dead, at that point I looked up to see two glowing yellow green eyes about seven and a half feet high, dark and heavy figure and hearing a huffing growling sound all the while the car was still being rocked. I prayed in my head that what I figured to be a Grizzly bear would get bored and leave us alone. God heard my prayer and as quickly as it began it ended. When dawn came after the incident I saw faint scratches on my car's roof and the trunk lid. I asked our companions if they heard or felt anything, they reported that they had felt some rumbling but not very long. I tell the story in more detail and people freak out even more to find out my other daughter didn't hear or see anything she slept through the ordeal. There's many other interesting things I have witnessed in my life, if I share them people who don't have ability to use more than 10% of their brains think people like me are crazy, other people have had similar events happen to them so I know I am not alone.
Wait until they open the Abyss at CERN...and releases the evil ones. Today the more sin in the world more demons and creatures roam (the beasts of the earth) in the Bible. People dont realize how much they REALLY NEED JESUS/YESHUA! ...this is VERY VERY VERY REAL. peoples hearts will fail them of what they will see coming upon the earth. ...oh and GOD brings the giants back to on HIS day of wrath Isaiah 13.I am praying to be worthy to escape the things that are coming! 🙏🙇♀ I have been camping a couple times...each time I had freaky things happen...that was before I was born again....ALL PRAISE & GLORY to the MOST HIGH I made it home safely and unharmed .
So weird, I just listened to a Blurry Creatures episode (a podcast you would enjoy if you're a Christian into weird stuff) and the guest was talking about vehicles and trailers being shaken in the night. Just really odd I just heard that like 2 hours ago and then read your comment here. I hope you'll try to connect with Blurry Creatures hosts (if you become a member, they have live chats) to share your story there. I believe you!
I was in a wilderness program as a juvenile in the state of Utah. We were in the Capital Reef Cross section when Park Rangers came and took out their map and coordinated with us on our map, a new set of destinations completely in the opposite direction of where we were supposed to go. And all of it was for Skinwalker activity . This was 23 years ago now. Never had I heard of them before as I'm not from that state even. But to all the locals and rangers. It was familiar and was taken very seriously.
Idk why but that Red flashing video of the person laughing after hearing you say she felt pure evil scared the hell out of me. Haven't felt my heart drop like that in a while.
I wish I had more info on this and will share my personal experiences in a seperate comment, but one of my old teachers lived in Hawaii for a long time and he told me a story of the M’os (spelling?). And how they still exists and are present in Hawaii. There were weird noises or just odd occurrences in a waterfall in Oahu. Eventually a wildlife park ranger came to check it out. Went to the waterfall and looked down at the water and saw a giant water dragon spirit shoot out from the water below and go straight into the sky. Since he had to record what he saw - his observance is documented in the police files somewhere in Oahu. I think there was a decision to not release it into the news but that story sat with me and gave me a sense of peace. overall, I believe that you just have the have respect for the land it it will respect you. There’s places with good energy and dark energy, and you just have to honor how you feel within the environments your surrounded with.
The story of the group that had the mushroom trip from hell reminds me of the movie " Synchronic ". It's about a DMT like designer drug that sends the user to an unknown time and place for the length of the drug's effect...like a portal. I'm one that believes if " they " made a movie about it.....it has probably happened to some extent. To me, the story of "Synchronic" seems possible as I have had experiences with DMT and thats the best way to describe it....a portal. So maybe those mushrooms had been altered in some way genetically and opened a door to God knows what??? Just a thought.
Yes! I have never seen that movie before but I am going to look it up now. I know that the one time I took mushrooms I ripped a hole into another dimension. So I am sure that what they saw was real… even if they all saw different realities. It gave me chills.
Yeah that's a cool movie, I remember the first time I watched it. I had to rewatch it again because it was so cool. All those people were tripping pretty hard. They probably ate a lot of really good mushrooms. Like I remember when Anders said the guy was covered in Ash, I immediately thought this guy is not going to be covered in anything when they find him. Because I've seen people change different colors when I've been on mushrooms before. And then their color comes back to normal after the trip is gone. Must have been some really good mushrooms. It's still a strange story and I'm going to have to look up more about it.
I can not recall the date or who... I am in the Great Smoky Mountains 2 to 3 times a month from February to October every year for the last 10 years. I remember a young man who went missing from Cherokee. He was seen on video leaving a motel in Cherokee with a backpack on. He later was reported missing by his family.. a park ranger at Ocunalufty remembers a young man asking her to keep an eye on his car he was going hiking, should be back in a couple of days. He never returned. Fast forward approximately 18 months later. A young couple were on one of the trails and pass a young man in shorts t- shirt, no shoes, dirty on the trail. They thought it odd but didn't really think anything about it. A few hours later on a different trail they came upon a backpack. The backpack was sitting in the middle of the trail, looked almost new. Inside was a wallet with 5 thousand cash, watch, other personal items.... They turn it in to one of the Ranger offices...........it belonged to the guy missing from Cherokee, but it had been almost 2 years.... Was the guy they passed the missing guy? Was the guy they saw the missing guy?...... The GSMNP, Is one of the most beautiful but dangerous, mysterious parks we have.
I got woken up and followed by a bear in the Appalachians for like 7 miles last year. Just wouldn’t leave me alone because I had picked up a grocery bag full of trash along the hike. It woke me from my hammock sniffing my stuff out and I was super shaken and scared it to a distance. Luckily in an area with cell service, so I was on the phone with family the whole hike back. Another time I was in the Desolation Wilderness west of Tahoe. Was on the west side in Eldorado Nat’l Forest and hiked several miles until I hit wilderness. Kept going, even though no trail (I had a game plan, familiar with the maps, nav gear, etc and feel very confident in my land navigation skills). About 2 miles into the Wilderness though I could swear I was being pushed out. Dead silent, no animal noises or wind and I just had this skin crawling feeling that people weren’t supposed to be there. I’ll throw a bit up to nerves but I adventure A LOT and know a bad feeling when I get one. I’m not that superstitious, but I hadn’t seen a single person all day and felt like I needed to leave, so I did. Lots of history in the Sierra, who knows what you’ll find.. I’ve also spent years exploring the PNW, and man I have a dozen stories about unexplainable things happening on the Olympic Peninsula.
I'm from that area (Olympics) and was part of back country horsemen growing up and would go way out sometimes.... I usually loved the forest out there... good vibes. The main thing way out I'm afraid of is people... there are some weirdos back in there. We usually had at least one person with a gun. I'm curious what you saw in the Olympics...?
I have always been able to feel other things surrounding me. We like to disassociate from things that cause us fear. Just because we ignore it, doesn’t mean it’s not real.
You're a great story teller, and kept me captivated. If you allow a moment of time for closure between stories it would help for understanding. There are so many stories out there from competent and trustworthy people that I believe in the big critters that live in the wild. thanks again.
you know what's crazy, is I have camped the Uintah's my entire life where one of the stories is from, and have definitely heard and seen some weird stuff up there, two things come to the forefront of my mind, first was personal, I remember one year I was camping with my family and a friend and there was a "bear hunter" that was driving around but dude had a lot of equipment and a ton of dogs with him, it was slightly off-putting due to the fact that neither me or my family (my family has herded sheep up there since the early 1900s) had ever seen one up there. Well, I think it was the second or third night there I could hear something running around up near the road, which was about 20 yards from the camp, and then suddenly it howled/screamed I have never heard something like that before or after the incident it sounded like and animal and a man mixed together, that was actually the last year I ever camped up there in a tent. lastly my grandpa in his youth while taking care of the sheep was stalked by something in the woods by either the biggest mountain lion he had ever seen or something that was not just an animal. so, if yall ever find yourself camping up left or right fork canyon (it's up Spanish fork canyon just after the chevron. just be careful. lastly side not, if yall happen to ever visit the old cabin up there (it's on the ridge line above the old ranger station. my great grandparents built that..)
My grandpa used to survey for the forest service and would go out weeks at a time with his horse, mule, and a dog all the time. I was always amazed how he could do that and i dont think he got lost often. Always told me the horse would find its way back if he couldn't. He also told me he was more scared of a moose than anything else, imagine one of those waking you up when its pitch black outside. Sometimes i wish i took his career route
@@FireHill20 no idea, I just know he surveyed for the forest service and laid out trails to be made and stuff like that. He retired then started a little business doing it for property
This is the first video I have seen and you gained my subscription, I have lived in the Appalachian mountains all my 40+ years in eastern Kentucky, and I can't say weather or not the stories you told from other people are fact or fiction but I have encountered a few different things like you described in the video, and I don't care if anyone believes me or not because I can still feel the feeling of dread impending doom to this day when I think about seeing a 6-8 ft black human like thing with big red eyes watching me . I have seen other things but nothing else has left a 30 year old reminder to always look behind my back when I'm outside after dark. And we were told many other stories about strange or supernatural things that happened.
I believe u...i v seem an airplane with no wings in t Middle of t afternoon...day light...in t mountains of Gardunha in the center of Portugal, around 25 years ago or more...and I Will never forget it...no noise...sun Shining on it...too fast for a zepling...too slow for a plane...and no wings...just a tube Shining gold under t sun...plus i was on t SIDE of t mountain and it was flying between t mountains só almost at t same altitude as me... Surreal ...i dont speak about it much because before people would think i was crazy só I just...never spoke about it much...
Man i wanna go explore those mountains now... Here in rural England UK, me and another girl saw a 7ft werewolf type of animal in the distance run and stand up then run back into the bushes, then shortly after the group we were with all heard a deep growl right in the shrubs next to us. We were being stalked. Ended up running home in rain and mud in school uniform coming home to a very confused mom. I'll never forget the way my older sister grabbed me as soon as we heard the growl.
@@ElleAngeles My husband is from Australia and he told me about the exact same kind of thing. A huge wolf human creature chasing him but avoiding lights. Standing up and pacing. Gives me chills!!!
Regarding the creature at 33:40. My brother in law went on a fishing trip in California with his brothers and a few friends, all men. The sun had set already as they were driving back from a big lake in two trucks dragging two boats. They lived in the San Joaquin Valley and I believe this lake they went to was quite a drive away. They were leaving the parking lot and probably driving through the windy roads of the lake. It was pitch back. As they were driving on the road still in the vicinity of the lake their high beams illuminated what looked like a person walking on the side of the road. They were thinking who could be walking this late on the road? The person was walking on the left side towards the position they were leaving. Never mind the fact that this person was walking in pitch black without a light. As they drew closer they realized it wasn’t a person at all. It’s eyes were reflecting the light from their headlights back at them like how an animal’s would. It was a creature standing up and walking like a human, had a snout, it’s whole head was like a canine’s. It was really hairy and it had its hands up to its head shaking it’s head. Not seeming to mind them until they passed by it and it turned its head to look at them. The first car saw it first and then the second car. They were able to confirm that the men in both cars saw the creature. They all remained quiet about it until they got home.😮
It's amazing how our perception of what is real and what isn't has been manipulated. I know there are humanoids, criptids, and interdimentional beings that come and go at will. I just pray that when the veil drops we aren't left with mentally broken people that clung to what reality they thought to be the truth.
My family is from El Salvador and they have a term for people that go insane after “seeing” something supernatural that leaves them “crazy” it’s “Jugado” but it translates to “played” , and it’s common for people who experience something unexplainable, they end up like that and they either are stuck in that moment forever rambling about what they saw,without being able to actually speak so in a way that is understood…it’s really sad I’ve actually met someone like that in Mexico once, his family told me that he was never the same after one day he came back home after a few hours of having been missing during the night (he was supposed to be home after work finished but didn’t come home until a few hours later) and he had the same characteristics of someone “jugado “ he would ramble about that night as if those words were the only words he could ever say,so that’s why his family believed he “saw” something
As a backpacker, lone backpackers are scary to me. I’ve slipped getting water or just sat on a long and fell off when I got up and if you do that in the wrong area, you can fall down and get stuck somewhere no one will see you at all. I am very familiar with the area the first guy went missing in, and there are rocky crags you can fall in, or even get swept away in a river and get stuck in white water areas. Or just fall down a hill and get stuck at the bottom hurt bad and no one would be able to see you past any brush. You wouldn’t think of it, but it’s very very easy to get lost or even walk a few yards away, and lose track of your group. That area is huge and there are plenty of places people just can’t get to or see easily out there.
Here in the Philippines, our elders told us not to go in the woods not just because of dangerous animals, but also spirits, fairies, and mythical creatures might take us.
@@Brandon_metabalmost same in native American culture, shape shifters, crying babies in the woods, giant humanoid beings, local version of the vampire, shadow people crossing roads to cause accidents, etc etc
When I arrived at the town of Shasta on our road trip, we stopped by Lake Siskiyou, a man-made lake there.I got the strangest, creepiest feeling when we started walking around-like something dreadful happened there. I never experienced anything like that before and I've traveled quite a bit. When I later read about it, I saw that there has been a lot of paranormal activity reported in the area. I felt its presence and still remember it today.
I had that exact same creepy feeling at Convict Lake in the late '80s. My boyfriend at the time wanted to walk across the still frozen lake and I said let's get the hell outta here! Turns out there were many deaths at that lake from walking on the frozen lake - which was not solid enough to walk on in the first place!
He's actually copying a lot of David David Paulides work from Missing 411. Sadly, no credit given. Check out the channel Missing 411. David is a retired officer who dedicated his life to making people aware of these strange stories and disappearances. Excellent man.
I grew up hiking and camping my entire life. While camping with family in Yosemite National Park we were sleeping in our tent. Then about 2:30 am I was awoken by what sounded like coyotes. Then something else started howling with them but it did not sound like a coyote. After the coyotes stopped, blood curdling shrieks and roars started to begin. Which lasted another ten minutes or so. Never had I been so scared in my entire life, I held my shotgun close while cowering in my sleeping bag at the unknown. There are strange things in the woods that we do not know of.
I also love hiking and camping. It's hard to explain how scary it can be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself, or even with a few friends. After about two hikes alone, I also started carrying multiple weapons, haha. Scary stuff happens in the mountains.
I could not tell exactly where the howls were coming from. At night time in the forest it could have been anywhere with miles and miles of dense trees.
I solo camped in Yosemite in my truck two summers ago before learning of all of these national park disappearances. Luckily nothing weird happened and I had my weapon on me.
Why isn’t no one talking about the kids on shrooms? That whole experience is jaw dropping! i was totally dumbfounded at the end, where the dealer went missing never to be found! & the sister doesn’t recall picking anyone up? As for Simon u kno how the girl said she seen native Americans walking, what if Simon had that white dust kinda looks like paint u know how the native Americans would have all over their body and face? What if it was that?? Man at first I was thinking these kids are tripping hard! but at the end how none of the stories are adding up.. what if they did disrespect the land of the native Americans and they did something to Simon that’s why they found him like that? And that sound was kinda like a alarm that they do? Ugh idk but this story was just so interesting! I wish there was a interview on the kids or a documentary on them.. doesn’t help that they were on shrooms but to say Simon didn’t take anything? man, this is all a mind fuck.. crazy how they seen the native Americans and it is there land..
@@autodogdact3313 yeah he did, they said they didn’t find by shrooms in his system. Witch is so weird bc one of the girls mention that everyone took the mushrooms but simons sister said he never took anything.
On one of my first dates with my now husband we took a walk on a paved path in a small suburban forest preserve near where I lived. I saw those yellow glowing eyes, only a few feet away, and at eye level to me. Didn’t see any body or head, just the eyes, glowing and spaced far apart. Scary!
I was taught the natural wilds were not your friend, and can wound and kill you. They allowed you to visit, going solo wasn't wise no matter how adept you think you are and you had better understand what to take, what to wear, where you are going , when and how to run and how to protect and defend yourself while doing so and remain vigilant to danger at all times and with every step, your life was in your hands.
Nature just isn’t that scary or dangerous, I grew up in the woods and they’re the healthiest place a human being can possibly be. Nature heals the mind, body, soul, spirit.
@@frankG335 yeah if you have no idea what you’re doing you don’t belong in the woods. If you want to go into the woods learn what your doing, take classes, read books, watch UA-cam videos, start with small short excursions and build to long overnight stays. The woods are dangerous to those who don’t respect them, and that don’t prepare for them. That could be said if Times Square though to it’s kind of a common sense thing, well it used to be any way.
@@syskusa6512 Isn't that a bit of a contradiction from your first statement? If Nature isn't that dangerous why would someone who had no training 'not belong there'? The answer is that there are dangers for those who don't understand the risks and dangers inherent in negotiating a place that is unmanaged and contains wild animals. Ergo, Nature IS dangerous.
@@LQOTW 🤣 you’re just determined to have an argument, and to be right aren’t you. Congrats you win, hope you feel better about pointing out that not having common sense is dangerous. I still say Nature Heals and have witnessed it helping other veterans with PTSD connect with nature and have very lasting results. Cities aren’t dangerous at all though, but I’ll stay out here thanks. I would like to point out The animals out here are more afraid of you than you are of them, so you typically never even see them unless you’re looking for them. I look for them, I also hunt.
I am from the Appalachian area in fact I live in the valley and can tell you we are not lacking in animal life, I have even had deer chased by something into my backyard in Knoxville TN,! My dogs were going crazy it was daytime.it was the firstime having deer in the city! The nearby mountains are a very different story as bears are numerous and seem completely unafraid of people. Many enjoy getting into hot tubs and swim in Gatlinburg pools! However I recommend that you never approach them, definitely don't ever feed the bears. Most encounters are completely harmless, but we did have a school teacher eaten alive in our area of the smokies. Her and her husband had gone camping with the hope of time together to save their marriage, she had cooked them breakfast and they ate, he went upstream while she cleaned up and done a little fly fishing, he was returning to the campsite and heard aweful noises animals grunting and making noise when he saw them ripping his wife apart and eating her! They had taken all the recommended precautions and it was tragic. I would strongly recommend that if you venture into the mountains to go armed and stay together because you don't know what you can encounter. We also have panther bobcat and coyotes and wolves elk's and gorgeous scenery. Just be wise and never feed wildlife as once they get a craving for human food they will seek out people as a source of the food.
Having done search and resque in the BLW it is totally possible for a hiker to disappear and never be seen again and have no trace. This is also validate by the few cases where years later a trave is found and the hiker pretty much meet a natural death.
Regarding the Santa Fe National Forest, I know those structures are built by humans (I’m one of them) it’s actually something a lot of locals go up to the mountains to go do on a weekend for fun or to go camp in them, near them, or to hook up in them…also some hippies live in the forests. There are lots of abandoned buildings in the national forests too as many are old farms/land grants for farms. But yep, those teepee structures are made by hikers, and I’m one of them.

Oh wow the mushroom story is really good. Utterly wild but at the same time has so much fine detail that makes it seem realistic. I got goosebumps a couple of times.
I like how you just jump to the question “could there be dragons living beneath Yellow Stone?” after giving a relatively down to earth recapturing of the tragic disappearance you mention first. I know this video is about mystery but the transition felt kind of stark.
Audio works for me?
No audio what so ever at all
What a strange issue, I can hear it just fine

Now she's working wooooo
This has happened on other channels. Can take couple of hours for it to start working for everyone. From what other channels said From contacting yt over this issue. Hope that's of some help.
I am a park ranger. My park is about 10,000 acres. So pretty small. And extremely well traveled. Even still we have found deceased people years after they died. The woods are vast and dense. If someone goes off trail it can be near impossible to find them. This is especially true if they don't want to be found. Which is often the case with suicide.
I believe in paranormal things but when I hear people come up with conspiracy theories for people who simply went missing in the woods I can't help but think that people are severely underestimating how difficult it can be to find anything at all in acres and acres of wilderness.
The vast majority of people who are rescued want to be rescued and help their rescuers in some way. Educate yourself on how if you ever plan to venture off the trail.

I grew up in the Caribbean and we were always taught of the spirits in the woods, mountains and rivers. In modern times and because of technology, we've grown away from these energies but that doesn't mean they disappeared and no longer exist!
I agree with you, in fact I think they are making a come back slowly but surely.
They are surrounded us everywhere. Respecting each other space is there. Calmly with humble heart and acknowledge their well being will secure your safety.
I've never heard of these stories. What do they say/teach?
Im from the Caribbean too yes they do exist
People will believe anything
It's stories like this that have lead me to be an avid indoorsman.
*edit...clearly people can't take a joke.

I agree 👍 I sail swim walk for miles usual at the beach but NEVER EVER in parks hill any wooded area. No way I like to see what's around me
Absolutely, since I can see many scenic places online. LOL.
Same, but I’m claustrophobic so it makes things worse.
That's all well and good, until you start hearing horror stories about stuff that happens at home.
My husband and I did some wilderness camping. One late night, I heard shuffling footsteps and heavy breathing. It stoped just inches from the outside of our tent. I was terrified, so quietly woke up my husband. He yelled at the unseen "person" to leave. Nothing: no answer, no movement, just more heavy breathing. My husband bravely unzipped the tent and laughed when he saw a huge range cow. I am so thankful he didn't come out shooting.
We were lucky. Lots of natural things could have finished us. Perhaps our most dangerous situation was (believe it or not) a lost baby bear. If the returning mother found us too close to him, she'd probably kill one of us. I've found a scorpion on my pillow, unmapped lakes, a dirt road ending at a cliff, rattle snakes, killer spiders and poison fruit look-a-likes that we didn't eat. I haven't seen a mountain lion but the big cat probably knew exactly where I was.
If you go wilderness camping bring a map (NOT GPS) enough food & water, be careful of hypothermia (staying wet in cold weather), and please respect the wildlife. Thank you.
Why do you say to not bring a GPS? Just curious because I’ve never been camping.
Many wilderness camping locations are out of range of a GPS, rendering it useless and dead weight. It is best to rely on a real compass and an up to date map. @@harounk8849
@@harounk8849you wont have service for the gps and also if the battery dies then its useless.
@@harounk8849GPS only go off of previously mapped areas... Though a GPS knows your coordinates it will only display them according to a previously mapped position.
ALWAYS bring GPS are you fuggin’ kidding?!? It’s a damn SATELLITE POSITIONING SYSTEM!!! Garmin watches can transmit your location to people. Seriously bad advice here. I doubt you even go in your back yard.
I always love how all of these horrible monster stories have the adult version of a bed and blanket from childhood. As long as you are in your tent or bed with the blanket over you, the bad things can’t get you. I really need to look a lot more into what tent makers use to make their tents have this magical protection.
Rotfl 🤣
Underrated sceptic comment right here
It’s a threshold most entities out in the woods will stay outside of your tent or threshold. That’s why they will circle and make a ruckus outside but not come in. Thresholds are big important for protection. Some things are way better than others though.
Let's hope the tent or blanket is made of graphene nanotubes with depleted uranium-infused Cobham armour with active proximity defences woven right in. Otherwise, I'm just not convinced it'll protect anything much.
@@annamariedallas2353 by "entity" do you mean wildlife? Because I would like mosquitoes to please respect my threshold, thanks.
My favourite thing about these type of video are always the comments reading people's experiences makes it even more real
So true 😊
Same here, the comments are very interesting 😊 hagd
Some people chat shit tho remember that 🤣
Alot of people talking spirits and demons..
Arnet like wolfs, mountian lions, bears, the general size of terrain, and maybe murderers actual real life monsters.
But alot of people talking energy and spirits.. idk
The scariest comment I ever saw in response to advice about personal safety in national parks was under podcaster MrBallen's channel when a woman thanked him for the heads-up and went on to announce which nat'l park she was about to visit & which hotel & dates she'd booked and that she'd be travelling alone w/her dog. Oy vey people!
I've always found the thought of, "they were experienced at solo-hiking so it was strange that they went missing" completely baffling. Like... are you genuinely surprised that the *untamed wilderness* would cause something unexpected to happen? To my understanding, if one is truly experienced, then they would know that no matter HOW prepared you are, it's ludicrous to think you're truly safe. That's like saying, "he was well experienced with climbing Everest, so it was weird he would freeze to death on it."
Agree! I think one of the most dangerous mindsets you can have on a hike is too much confidence ! Every dead body on Mt everest was once a highly motivated person! Lol
Yeah and emphasis on “solo-hiking”. Makes it even more likely for them to go missing when it’s only 1 person vs a group where someone could of possibly got away to get help and tell what happened
LMAOOOOOOOO THANK YOU SO MICH!!!! it make’s LITERALLY no sense when they say that
I absolutely agree. It kinda bugs me when a child just vanishes in seemingly thin air. That does make me sad.I know it might be unfair to hold it against the guardians....but its their fault. Keep an eye on ur dang kids. Some of these disappearances where the person or kid shows back up 30 to 70 miles away is ....there are legit wild weird stories and experiences. But dead men tell no tales.
Yes! Always better to go in a party of four … packing…. Silver bullets.
Me , my husband, and our daughter who was about 3 at the time was heading home one night. We took back roads because it was faster. The moon was full and bright and you could see everything. My husband stopped to go to the bathroom. It was around 1:00 am so no other cars was around. I was looking in the field watching cows. Then I noticed a extremely large animal which my first thought was "dang that's the biggest cow I've ever seen". Then it stood up and looked straight at us. I yelled at my husband to get his ass back in the truck. The creature dropped on all fours and run towards us. My husband hit the gas and I kept watching. It run after us until I couldn't see it anymore because of the woodline. Our opinion it was a werewolf. I have never seen anything like it before or after. My husband said to never speak of it. Our daughter thank God slept through the whole thing. We arrived safely home, but didn't really sleep that night wondering if it might have followed us home. I know what we saw. Strange as it sounds, the memory of that night still freaks me out. We never took that road again.
That would be so scary , thinking it could follow your smell !
Did it happen to have a tail? If not then it was most likely a dogman or worst case scenario a flesh pedestrian. Just wanna help is all.

I grew up very near the Smoky Mountains and spent a lot of time there. I remember when I was around 7 years old, we had a gravel driveway before it was paved. We lived in the hills and backed up to a wooded area.
My sister and I shared a bedroom. One night, during summer when we used to sleep with windows open, I woke up to something very big moving outside our window. I heard a sound that I thought was a dog grunting or growling. I definitely felt the presence of something. I pulled the covers over my head.
The next morning, there were huge footprints in the driveway gravel that was outside our window and I followed them up the hill to the end of the driveway. I couldn’t wait to show my nextdoor neighbor friends the footprints.
When our dads got home, we showed them the prints. My dad put his foot in one of the prints and I saw his face go pale. Our nextdoor neighbor was a large man and he put his foot in a print and his foot was also dwarfed. He looked at my dad and then looked at all us girls. We didn’t sleep with windows open after that, my parents got air conditioners.
I would have moved out tho 😂

My buddy Chase Robertson went missing out of vida/blue river Oregon, 2.5 years ago roughly 15 miles in the woods up logging roads. Nobody ever found a trace of his body or know where he went, as his phone was last pinged on the other side of the mountain, his car was about 15 miles from where his phone was pinged, and we found all of his belongings, except for himself. We tried flying over with radar/thermal imaging and couldn't find a body anywhere in the woods, we had multiple search and rescue crews, horses and various other agencies looking for Chase Robertson, it's been roughly 2 years and he hasn't been found.
Ironically, last summer on the highway outside those woods, a semi had flipped and blocked the road. It was super early in the morning and I tried to link Quartz creek road (up blue river) deep through about 50 miles of logging roads and woods (with no service) to wesfir so I could hit the highway over there and come home. Well, on top of the mountain I hit a patch of ice and got stuck. I was stuck up there for 9 hours before I decided to hike 22 miles in 8 hours, to get back to the main highway. I was fortunate enough to be able to have my phone on me and to run into a weird service zone where I had a bar of service so I could post to Facebook with my exact location for help, and that's where someone found me walking along the logging road, another 8 hours later (I was out there for 24+ hours, technically missing)
It was eerie walking through the deep woods out in Blue River alone, like that out there. It was intense, hearing sticks crack and branches moving around in the woods around you, hoping a bear or cougar doesn't come out and you meet your demise, or maybe some deep woods hicks that live in a ran down cabin hidden by overgrowth potentially has my buddy hostage, you never know what's going on in those woods...
Anyways, I made it back home and to safety, unfortunately my buddy hasn't. I wish I could hear back from him saying that "I'm okay". I grew up with this guy in highschool. Hopefully some closure turns up.
Praying for closure, Jon. Missing persons are always a nightmare for family and friends.
@@sincerelypandora3326 Thank you, as am I each and every day. I have Dave from Missing 411 picking up his story here soon. I'm thankful that his case will get some more traction 🥺
What did he go do in the woods?
Wow that musta been some nervous times like you said especially going that far
@@itzelramos7386 I couldn't tell you. He lives really close to that area, and there is a hot springs in the woods nearby, called Cougar Hot Springs, and I know his phone was last pinged over there before he went missing. But his dad passed away right before he went missing too, so it was very weird to find his car out there literally full of his belongings. 😏
Been in the woods my whole life but sometimes you just get this uneasy feeling like something is watching/stalking you. You can see and hear some very weird things when deep in the forest.
Yes! Spirits if respected will protect you - Government is another story.
Ever had the rivers whisper to you while alone?
Your whole life? I bet you could use a hot shower.
I was raised in the woods and never had any of these problems. I knew things were watching me though. Coyotes, wolves, deer, owl, fox. Snakes treefrogs songbirds. Because I grew up in the woods I also have excellent night vision. If there is a sliver of moon in the sky I can sprint through the forest without a light. My uncles also told me that Freddy Kruger lived in my drainage ditch and would scrape at my windows at night... So. More likely to get my bat and start yelling if something goes bump in the night. "Stir Crazy" is the word we always used.
@@sophiatealdo9680 it's ALWAYS ur government
I am also aware of these strange missing person cases in your national parks. in Germany we call them Missing 411 cases. People disappear within the blink of an eye (sometimes out of groups of people) and either don't reappear at all or in weird positions (often without shoes) and are physically unharmed but dead. First comes the extensive search, the dogs cannot or do not want to scent people, then the weather change delays the search. sometime later the corpse is found, either in places that were impossible to reach or in the immediate vicinity, where the search had already been carried out several times.
Allegedly, it increasingly affects people with red or yellow clothing.
There used to be a rule of conduct here in the form of a phrase, but it's very old:
If you wear yellow
you go to another world
if you wear red
then you are dead
(in German the first 2 lines rhyme too)
But nobody here can tell what's behind it either.
(sorry for so many text..and for mistakes, I'm still learning English)
From my understanding the term "Missing 411" comes from the USA
It became famous thanks to the work of David Polites (probably butcherd hisbname)
To consider a case a 411 case, it need to furfill certain cryterias tho
Considering those, a fair amount of the told storys here do not count
Many describtions of events sound rather suspicious
"The Lore Lodge" has a very good video explaining the cryterias for a Mussing 411
He also does a shit ton of research on those cases, which I seriously apprechiad
(PS. Servus aus Bayern)
As the other reply stated, the term “Missing 411” is a term originating in the US via David Paulides and his work covering cases that meet the “411” criteria. He has written multiple books, has created a few movies/documentaries highlighting certain cases, and has a UA-cam channel called “Canam Missing Project” covering Missing 411 cases in Canada and America (hence the “canam”). He’s worked very hard for decades gathering all of the information and putting together his Missing 411 criterias based on patterns he saw when working in law enforcement on missing person cases in the US. Definitely worth checking him out! It’s so interesting that Germany is also using his term to describe their own similar phenomena. This world has so many mysteries, secrets and unknowns that we will never uncover or understand. I often think that’s probably for the best.
Excellent English, didn’t even get the hint you weren’t native until you said
Those are jinns in action.
@@BhappyD Here in Germany we didn't have a term for this phenomenon, but one of my favourite German UA-camr (Mythen Metzger = Myth Butcher) reported about David Paulides and his work. Due to MM's videos (and the fact that UA-camrs steal from each other) the term Missing 411 became more and more famous on the Internet
I heard that Missing 411 was the title of Paulides' first book, because the content was about the first 411 mysterious cases of missing people he had discovered at that point of time.
Grew up in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in a town of ~5000 people. Hiking was one of the only pastimes during the summer (no movie theater, mall, ect.). One time, a friend (now DOW officer) and I were DEEP in the woods... Much deeper than most people would go (12 hr hike) but that was pretty normal for us. We were descending into a bowl at the end of a small valley and as we walked down we could see something large just before the treeline (~11,000 elevation). We thought it was a barrel, but as we neared we could see it was a cow (open range grazing is common in our area). It's intestines (everything) had been sucked out of a 5" hole where it's a$$ should be. The eyes and tongue were also missing and there was no blood... Anywhere. The strangest thing was that no animals had touched it, in fact it was eeriely quiet. As we were taking picture we noticed another cow about 50m. away... Same condition. We were pretty freaked out as this was not normal, so we started to book it back to the car (~2 hrs of hiking left and the sun was setting). As we continued down the trail another 100m we found one more cow. It's hind legs were on it's knees and it's front legs were folded underneath it (think of the yoga pose downward dog) like it had died instantly and just dropped. Same thing as the others but the way the cow was orientated, blood was slowly flowing out of its mouth causing a little stream of blood to cross the trail. It was fresh. It's hard to explain, but this was the most abnormal way for an animal to die... My friend and I were really starting to get freaked out and took it as a warning. Right after we passed the final cow, we passed a group of 3 people (1m, 2f) and we said hello and gave them the trail... They said nothing and walked by us without looking at us. Again, SUPER WEIRD since everyone is super friendly and we basically know everyone in our town. They were not carrying camping equipment and as I said the sun was setting and this was not a place you wanted to be at night without shelter. We watched them disappear up the trail and proceeded to run to our vehicle (after 10 hrs of hiking that's saying something). Something was telling us to get out and we were running on pure adrenaline. That is the only time I've known true fear, every instinct was telling us to get out of that forest.
Edit: Thank you everyone for listening! For the nature experts out there saying small animals are the cause... I grew up in the woods and would regularly see dead animals at all stages of decay... What we saw was anything but regular. For the skeptics asking for pictures, they are off grid somewhere in Alaska with my buddy. This was pre-digital age and I don't think I'll be able to get those anytime soon if he even still has them.
I also don't want to give my home a weird reputation, so I won't be disclosing the exact location. But, small town in central Colorado in the Rocky Mountains.
Lastly, this was not an isolated incident. This happened around 2010 and other unusual occurrences peaked around then for about 2-3 years where we would see strange things in the sky almost every night. During that time, we brought plenty of skeptics to the woods and enjoyed watching them change their minds.
Edit: Just a word to the airchair warriors who can't believe that someone wouldn't have a picture of something that happened 20+ years ago... This was before smart phones. We used a real film camera (not mine) to snap a couple quick shots... I do not live in the US and my friend lives somewhere in Alaska but I haven't talked to him in 5-6 years. As for the other complaints about the fireballs in the sky... Taking a picture is the last thing you're thinking about not to mention I had a flip phone with about 10 pixels...
Do you remember what they were wearing, hair length, hair color, race, height, weight, etc?
My guess is these were not people, more like shape-shifting pretending to be people. They were probably sucking the life out of these cows. You did well to leave.
Intense!!😱
Always trust your intuition...🙏
@@kentneumann5209 i second this question and would like to add another, was this the Maroon Snowmass Wilderness Area?
This sounds absolutely terrifying
I had an unflappable trail horse. When we moved from LA to outside of Bako there was one part of the trail she absolutely would not go. When I asked other riders about it, they claimed their horses acted similarly. No one knows why. When walked, it seemed like every other part of the trail 🤷♀️. Needless to say, I listened to my mare.
I've always heard from horse owners to always trust your horse's instincts. Thanks for cementing the instructions even more lol
Was this in Mulholland in the San Fernando Valley?
Probably smelled like mountain lion. Horses sense of smell is very good.
I’m from Bako too! What part is this I’m really intrigued
Animals can see and sense things that we can not see. Always trust animals, they are inter dimensional.
A friend of mine was a park ranger for a few years in Canada. He always refused to tell what made him change trade completely. One night though, his best friend got married and we all joined the party. After a lot of alcool, as we were all saying scary things around a fireplace, he said that he had something to tell us... that he never told to anyone...
We were all ears, especially that he was quite a private guy, always polite, but rarely talking about himself. He said that he told all people around him that he let go of his former career because he was fed up of the wilderness... but that it wasn't exactly the truth.
He said that the truth is because he saw something so scary, that he would never be able to go in the forest again. He said that what he saw, was something that look like a giant bat, at least 8 feet high, with big red eyes, like a red eye white mouse, and complete black fur and skin...the smell was that of sulfur and swamp, very intense...but that is not all...
He said that this thing was able to talk, although it was not making senses, like someone saying a bunch of words without any meaning or sensible sentence being said... He was terrified... He said he didn't talk about it because he know no one would believe him...
But he said 'i know what i saw...and i am never gonna go back there...' that's all he said and even posed his drink on the table and left. We all agreed that it was enough scary stories for the night and put water to extinguish the flames...but i must say we all went back fast to the cottage and wish each other good night. it was a weird moment.
Wow
Volados..
Sounds like potentially a wendigo.

@@immystery3946 I'm Vietnamese, I'm not afraid of anything. I grew up in the Vietnam jungle where it is denser than any forest in North America---where you cannot even see what is lying on the ground due to dense jungle bushes. You can only navigate through your nose and ears, especially at night.
As a result, I can sense things other cannot. I also have a sensitive nose that can pick up things that have little to no smell.
A large bear with severe mange might resemble one of the creatures described. But still creepy. After listening to these stories I don’t think I’ll be hiking by myself if at all. The times I have hiked alone I look back and realize that as a female I was taking too many risks and probably not considering the dangers.
Never hike alone in the wilderness.
same here girl. looking back im like, wtfffff
Bears with bat wings. Mange doesn't look like wings.
Mange doesn't change eye color to red, nor does it turn fur black. It destroys the hair coat, and severe mange would render a creature hairless, not winged. Sounds more like Mothman.

Check out Mr. Ballen. He's pretty good too.
Ive been backpacking and hiking for much of my childhood into young adulthood through much of California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Montana. I've seen packs of Coyotes, Black bears, Brown, Wolves, Deer, Moose, Buffalo and various other wildlife. I've only had three run ins with something Id consider strange. The first time I was 14 camping In the Oregon redwoods with 2 friends and one of their dads. We had just gone to bed and then all of a sudden we heard small rocks hitting the side of the tent. At first we thought it was pine needles. but then it continued and the rocks gradually got bigger. we yelled out Who ever is doing that its not funny, but it Continued. My friends dad got out of the Tent with a flashlight and 38. and went to Investigate. we all stayed in the tent and waited for what must of been 5 minutes, then we heard Rustling sounds near the tent, so we all stepped out of the tent to investigate with our flashlights not 15 feet from the tent stood a Large figure very harry Huge hands, Feet and Body. Me and my friends stand at 6'4 6'6 6'9. this Thing was atleast 9 feet tall and resembled an Gorilla in Body mass. It just stared us down for a Moment and grumbled. and then it slowly backed into the bush before turning out of sight. a few moments later the Father had returned too find us Frozen still outside the tent still dumbfounded. We stayed up all night and hiked out at daybreak. the next story I was 17 Hiking some trail in Tahoe California to a Lake called Pyramid lake just below Pyramid peak. I was Hiking ahead of my group with my Friend I brought along I knew the trail well as We had backpacked it several times growing up. me and my Friend were only half mile ahead of our group. Along the way we came across another Hiker He was dressed Like someone from the late 1800s, My friend had thought it strange But I not so much. there is a group that dresses up like the 49niners and does some hiking and trails with wagons horses and donkeys likes their forefathers for fun. I thought it was just a straggler. when he came up to us He asked us where we were headed and in which way is the nearest town. He then Introduced himself as Thomas he was about 5'6 dirty blonde hair, short cut, green eyes. He then asked if we could spare him some water, which we did and poured into his canteen. He made small talk on the weather, and fishing spots and then Wished us farewell. we watched him slowly hike away from us and like a mist he faded from thin air. was a very strange moment for us. we stood there and waited. Our group eventually caught up to us and we didn't speak of it. on our return several days later we again hiked ahead of the group and came up to that hill. and a Hiker approached he asked How much further away the lake was and if we knew any good fishing spots, me and my friend were frozen as it was the same person but dressed Normal. he continued as he did before with small talk and then said farewell and continued down the path. as he did he vaporized as before in a few moments. for My final encounter I was in Arizona I was 19 camping with my family. I went out exploring the rocks and Desert terrain. as I did I caught a foul smell near me but couldn't place it I got up onto a high rock too Look around and that's when I Heard my name being called from my mom but it was distorted somehow. it was coming from a rock formation 30 feet from me. But i could see my mom down below reading a book in her hammock. I called out to her, did you call my name? she replied no But be careful not to wander off too far and stay Hydrated, I turned around from where the sound had come from slowly as the hairs on the back of my neck felt like Ice. I saw a Figure It looked like a Deer but also a Teenage girl. The best way I think I could describe her would be if anyone here has ever played the game Skyrim. She resembled the Forsworn. she then let out a Light chuckle and then said in the voice of my younger sister, come and play. then backed back into the rock formation. I ran my ass all the way to the Rangers station, a Native man was the Ranger. I had told him of what I had seen. He immediately called the Tribal police and brought me to my family he told my Family that a Dangerous Man was on the loose and it wasn't safe for my family to be here and that a full refund would be granted But we had to leave immediately. My family did as he had asked. and we left within the hour. as we had left the campground many of the other campers were leaving. but a Parade of 15 SUVS of tribal and state Police were pulling into the campground. some of them were in Pickup trucks with Rifles and Semi automatics. I also saw Several Old men who had their faces painted in ash. To this Day I think I'm lucky to be alive and I think I know what it was I had Encountered. So If I ever go hiking out in Native lands again I have remembered too Find a Local Shaman and Purchase Blessed Totems and carry white ash with me. when I hike alone in the Mountains I bring Offerings with me too the spirits of the woods and streams, and I always ask for their permission and blessing before I attempt a hike.
Pretty sure the last one was a wendigo...
Thanks for sharing those experiences.
That last story is just creepy. I’m from south Texas and do not understand anything about anything Native American. Do you mind being alittle more descriptive on what that creature looked like?
@@roelrodriguez5024 She was about 5'8 I'd guess very skinny Yellow eyes and looked like a Forsworn from skyrim the game but with the Headdress of a Deer she was covered in fur but with human skin and appearance on two legs I really don't know how else to describe her. I guess maybe a More sinister animalistic version of Heilung Anoana
That last one was something that rhymes with ThinTalker, wasn't it? Given the response from the tribesmen that's what comes to mind.
I hadn't thought about the blessed totems, ash, and offerings though. I'll keep that advice in mind
Growing up my brother and I were both in scouting. He, boy scouts, me girl scouts. The boy scouts were a lot more active. I'm not exactly sure when this story occurred but my best recollection is that it was the early 1980's. Like I mentioned, the boy scouts were very active. Well, during this trip it wasn't really a sanctioned "boy scout" activity but several scout masters and their sons and a few more scouts decided that they were going to go camping and hiking at Mt. Baldy in New Mexico. We lived in the kcmo area so it was a pretty big deal for all of them so they were excited for the road trip and the overall experience. I believe they were planning to be gone for something like 10 days. So all packed up with gear and food and everything needed for such an adventure and off they went. After the allotted time, home they came. Looking at little scruffy but understandable after being on the road and out in nature for the time they were. Being curious about the trip and everything he experienced i started asking questions. How was the drive? What did you see? What did you eat? How was camping? Etcetera etcetra His answers were, for the most part, very vague which was semi infuriating because I wanted to know everything. It was like he was reluctant to answer any of my questions. Until I asked about the hiking they had done. He didn't say anything for a few minutes but just stared at me until he finally told me that something had happened and that they had barely made it back alive. But when they had made it back to camp they had immediately packed up everything and left. When I inquired further as to what the hell he was talking about he said that he didn't want to talk about it and to NEVER ask me about it again. My brother died a few years ago and to my knowledge he never told anyone anything more than what he told me that day. He wasn't ever the kind of man to frighten easily and never backed down from anything so whatever it was that this group of scouts and their scout masters encountered was something that none of them could have defeated. I would love to know of any folk lore about Mt. Baldy to maybe try to understand where could have frightened him so badly.
you should search for the people he was with in boy scouts at the time and the scout masters maybe they’ll be more comfortable talking about it
Look into the 411 disappearances. There are many stories by David Paulides about missing people in state parks. He is a former detective. Very credible. The stories are documented. They also raise the hair on the back of your neck and kept me out of state parks. I won’t go there. I’m glad your brother got out alive.
Yeah it was probably some pedo shit he didn't want to or couldn't talk about.
For some reason, and yes, this is documented.. more "successful" pedos tend to operate in organized cult like groups where mutual pedos gather to create things that allow them access to young children..
Like catholic priests for example.. private schools/clubs, (teachers).., and obviously boy/girl scout organizations..
And BTW, when I say, "successful" I mean the ones that usually tend to get away with the sick perversion.
Truly deviant and pure evil.
Um well from what I’ve heard and have experienced a couple times was the “skinny boy or flesh pedestrian” as I call them but others call them Skinwalkers I am terrified using that word because even you could have just a little bit of Native American blood in you and it can call its attention to you family friends hell even strangers and it’s happens mostly at night in the pitch black it’s really terrifying and nerve wracking to be truly honest. I’m sorry for your loss and he sounded genuinely terrified and people would be surprised how many details people can remember about specific experiences. I’m sure there is stories out there a lot do happen on roads campgrounds and hiking. I’m actually going to look it up so thank you for reminding me of the place I can let you know if I find anything hope I do.
@@jessicadanna5206I'm Mexican and as Hispanics we have native American but central and South American in us and Spanish and I can say I have a strong spiritual sense and get really scared and creeped out when I think about these things . And I get chills sometimes and with my native side I think I have a strong spiritual awareness and feel like my family was cursed or is attacked by bad stuff and my family has said this too but I believe in God and I pray about this and for my protection and my families. I casted out any curses on us and sent em back tenfold on their sender recently and things cleared up and saw spiritual videos on UA-cam that were recommended to me right after this saying good things and about witches getting their karma and bad things happening to them cuz they tried to bring me down and my loved ones. It was weird to see that after I prayed about it andi really felt it in my heart and the prayer felt strong. Be safe and may God bless you and me and protect us and our families and the people on here researching this stuff.
That electric "i can't move" feeling isnt some supernatural power. Its just an enhanced fear response. As a former soldier ive seen it when certain people go into combat. They just freeze, like a statue.
Like a spider
Finally. Also, that feeling of being watched seems the product of senses amplified by anxiety rather than a reliable indicator of danger.
@@juliadixon8465 I wonder if you'd go "oh, it's just that product of amplified senses" or you'd pack up and leave as fast as you can. I bet I know the answer...
I'd argue it's the exact middle between fight or flight that causes this. Like, your mind may say fight, but your instincts are saying flight which leads to 0
Nah. Purple Heart veteran here. I’ve felt a normal fear freeze when I was a kid and encountered an alligator. This is something entirely different because even when you’ve
Got a cool head your limbs won’t respond.

You know what scares me more than the supernatural..... people dressings up in monster costumes and hunting other people. Using these old stories to get away with kidnapping and murder.
Dam now there's an angle I never thought of. U got one vivid imagination bruh
Especially the stories involving children disappearing (and sometimes reappearing) make me think of people playing dress up and drugging & kidnapping people.
Because contrary to my favourite cryptids, evil people are known to exist everywhere.
And if you already have antisocial tendencies, spending much time in isolation can amplify those.
Zoinks!
good way to get shot
That's the first I've heard of that, and I'm a little freaked out now lol
I live in the Appalachian mts. Near where the second story takes place. If the couple weren't making up a story. it sounds like it could have been a wendigo, based on the smell and noises they heard... or even possibly an injured bear... I've seen animals with some nasty wounds in those woods. I once saw a buck that had a massive tear in its side, that had eaten away all its flesh to the point you could see all his internal organs. I could smell and hear him before I ever saw him. The poor guy was in immense pain, I put him out of his misery with a heart shot from about 50m...
The Appalachian Mountains are a very scary and deadly place from the stories I've heard it sounds crazy with all the monsters P.S. have you ever watched mountain monsters if you haven't watch it. it is a cool show
Poor creature, you did a very good thing by ending its pain.
I live in Canada in West-central AB about 90 minutes from Jasper National park. We have a lot of black & brown bears, cougars, wolves & coyotes, as well as wolverines, stoats, Pine Martins, moose, elk & deer in our area, along with the occasional mountain goat & bighorn sheep in the summer months. Because of the high predator count & being near the Yellowhead highway, It’s not uncommon to see a prey animal with absolutely horrendous injuries, either from a failed kill attempt by a predator or a run-in with a vehicle during the night. It’s never failed to amaze me that they can survive as long as they do with such truly horrific injuries. Needless to say, if we happen across an animal in that shape, we immediately put it down or else alert the nearest Fish & Wildlife office/Park Rangers (depending on which direction the animal is seen going).
I’ve definitely seen some odd things in my life, some explicable, some not. I just know I was raised to respect the forest spirits, which I do to this day.
Thank you for your compassion!
We lived near Yellowstone for 8-9 years and we were riding in a snow coach when I saw this poor bison with a huge scab on his flank…really painful looking. It appeared to be healing, so hopefully he made it. Very bad time of the year for such an injury, but at least the flies were gone for the season.
God for you put them out of misery great job God bless you

A bunch of people tripping on shrooms in the middle of the woods having differing accounts of what happened to them while tripping balls is totally crazy. Couldn't imagine how that would happen.
like disagreeing who was there to begin with and what happened before they did the mushrooms?

I Was a trail worker in Yosemite and worked around lake Eleanor for a few months and the missing man was being searched by the man's father it was quite sad to see the father looking for days to find no trace.
I'm reminded of a story where a man would tell stories that his kids didn't believe, because they were too bizarre. It wouldn't be until later that they found out they were true stories. I forget the stories, but what I do remember was thinking, "How many stories are lost because people didn't repeat them, because they just didn't believe them".
More than you can imagine
"where a man would tell stories the kids later found out were true"

My grandmother came from Scotland d to Massachusetts when she was 17. She was to be an indentured for 10 years to pay for her steerage ticket. I only remember a few of her stories. That was around 1900. By the time I wanted to send her a tape recorder and tapes so she could share her life stories she had dementia. The stories are lost.
Indentured servant.
When the Spanish first arrived to the Americas and began charting and mapping them, the interior & forest lands were often named as badlands and generally avoided. They often illustrated giants and different beasts marking these areas. The native Indians also had great respect for the dangers of these badlands and entered with caution. Even today, millions of acres of national forest are still untamed and city folk enter at their own risk. Thing is, modern men have lost that age old fear and respect for the badlands. We are born with a certain 6th sense spiritually but most people today tune this out. God created this for our spirits to gauge danger that is near or lurking in the shadows that we cannot see.
Every culture has outlandish myths. The spiritual beliefs of native americans hold no more validity than those of the europeans themselves - all based on ignorance and superstition.
Yuuupp
Oh I know another Anthony Alba 😁
That "bad feeling" is really interesting. Was out at a buddies house in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
They have a gated driveway to keep campers/tresspassers out, you can camp anywhere on state land out there, there are also lots of UTV rentals.
One night I was opening the gate to leave drove through, our 4th night visiting, I instantly got a bad feeling like I was being watched when I went to close the gate. I never had a concern previously. Looked around a second as I closed the gate, Got back in the truck quickly, looked around, saw a set of eyes reflecting from about 60 ft up the hill. Through a thin layer of tall grass.
They ended up spotting a mountain lion out there a couple times over the next few days. Creeped me the heck out, but apparently that 6th sense of danger is alive and well in me. 😂😊
You had me until the god bit.
Just like Michael and Derek, my husband's Uncle Mike Hearon disappeared without a Trace in the Smoky mountains as well. It was in an area known as Happy valley. This happened in August of 2008 and we still don't have answers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t go out alone like this. In truth I don’t even want to go with a group. Read the missing 411. It’s a series of books that detail missing people in the US and around the world.
Wilderness areas have predators, bears, wolves and mountain lions , and sketchy people doing sketchy things. A compass is essential gear even if you are only hiking a trail. I understand the city folk who go missing much harder to explain seasoned hunters and hikers going missing.
If you study the cases of missing people the high strangeness cases indicate many things not on your list. Those who return alive have very colourful stories, if they retain their memories.

Having working in Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Big Bend, Isle Royale and Death Valley then working just outside Zion and Rocky Mtn NP, I concur with the Ranger.
Many people who enter these Parks are in a mindset that nothing will happen to them because they are smarter than those who get lost.
The Parks are enchanting, alluring, offer some amazing photo opts and when common sense switches (Off) and the Cavelier replaces it, trouble is now brewing.
Maps are available at the Visitor Center, a compass is available at your local Camping store. An Emergency kit is also available, nice to have some insurance. Bear spray is available in the Parks that offer it.
Have met many ill prepared people out in the back country with little supplies set up for a 2 mile hike not a 20 mile hike. People run out of water, run out of food, run out of common sense, run out of options.
It is 2024 and people still get within 10ft of a 2k lb male bison....wtf?
Saw a guy run up to a Grizzly sow, with 3 cubs trying to get a close up with his phone. Luckily his wife barked at him and he turned around before the Sow noticed his close proximity to the cubs.

The good thing about these stories is hopefully it will reduce the percentage of visitations by tourists and give the staff a break😂.
The one point I take away from all these stories is that you should never go into those Deep Woods alone, always go with somebody.
OH HELL YA
And sometimes one other person isnt enough. I would prefer a group..lol.
It's not so bad if you're armed and prepared, although I wouldn't do it anymore. It does force you to face those fears which isn't a terrible thing for most folks.
Do not look into the missing 411 phenomenon cuz you won't go outside again lol
I say....don't go at all😳
I enjoyed the stories and narration style. My only recommendation is to more clearly wrap up one story before jumping into the next one. A brief overview of the timeframe, location & main characters would also be helpful at the beginning of each story. It would be courteous to acknowledge the sources such as David Paulides Missing 411 series when it's applicable.
How about at least a short pause between the stories to separate them. Also, a few grammar lessons would help the narration.

We had a guy at work tell his family he was going to walk the dog. When he didn't return the authorities were contacted. Hundreds of people looked for him. A week later, his dog was found without it's collar but he was never found. It's a complete mystery.

Noooo dude WTF. I’ve seen black shadow figures before!!!!! Two chased me in the forest without making footstep noises. I’ve never heard anyone else mention such an experience. I KNEW in my bones immediately that pure evil was chasing me. I used to doubt my own senses, but I now believe in my experience. Holy shit, I’m shaking and crying thinking about the fear I felt in those moments. I know without a doubt that I would have died had they caught me and never been found. They seemed to have flashlights in their hands, though, maybe simulating human shapes to trick me into not being scared. They never spoke a word while chasing me, though, just two pitch black shadow figures sprinting after me without making a sound.

Big if real
You faced jinns omg. Was it late in the evening?
Dude I got chills rn and scared. I had something like that happen to me in the city in an alleyway at night. My gf left out of nowhere she just wanted to go and I was getting my stuff ready but she had gone out the alleyway already and left out of sight . And out of nowhere a man that looked shadowy and dark walked in and I wasn't scared at first and it looked like he was acting drunk and figured he had to pee but he kept walking down and when I got my stuff and started walking away towards the other end and my body turned away from him I heard his footsteps pickup, it's sounded like he was running after I looked away n I quickly turned around and it looked like he was chasing me for the split second i looked and i booked it terrified that i was gonna die and it felt creepy as fk in my body, my heart was pounding and i had to squeeze through these objects at the other end of the alleyway and my jacket got caught and I was so scared I was gonna die I had to yank my jacket off the thing that was there then i was free and i had to squeeze through two storage containers and ran to my gf telling her i almost died and she wouldnt have known. I asked why she left so abruptly like she sensed something and she didn't wait for me. I think I would've died and went missing or something it felt so scary it was unreal. This was in Cincinnati Ohio btw which I feel has a lot of evil and demons there. There's just a bad negative vibe in this area. I think there's reptilians and illuminati here for real. A lot of people I knew say that this city and area had bad energy and it's sticker than mud. People get stuck here like I did and i ended up homeless for a year and had lots of bad experiences and met lots of fucked up people unlike where I'm from which is southern California. This happened right after sunset when It got dark and my gf took off like a scared deer thinking the cops were gonna come or something and I thought that was weird and took my time to get my stuff when this weird guy came in this quiet dark alleyway. I couldn't see any details of him just a dark silhouette of a person. I felt complete fear like I was gonna die and normally don't get spooked like that but this moment felt weird all of it. Me and her later stopped in this stoop down the block and I think the guy that chased me passed us by but I'm not totally sure that it was him. It kinda looked like his silhouette but not 100% sure it was but this guy looked at me like he was mad and stared into my soul a bit. He gave me a creepy stare as he walked by like as if he was mad he couldn't catch me. It was a weird look and I never seen him before and at this time I was already homeless for almost a year or about a year and knew other homeless people that lived there and friends with a lot of them and knew pretty much all of them or seen em around but this guy kinda looked homeless but not familiar to me and I'm not a wimp or a scaredy cat by any means but this experience was truly terrifying for some reason. It just had bad vibes all around it . I felt it in my gut. At the time I felt whatever was chasing me wasn't human even though it looked like it and when he showed up it was really quiet and no one else was around on the other side of the street where he came from so i felt if anything happened to me no one would've known or seen. I truly felt like I was running for my life that day and it gives me chills thinking about it.
You got chased by Jinn. They are extra terrestrial entities from the Mensa Constellation. They are pirates. A nuisance being. Hatman are related to them. No bull.
I set out with a friend to hike the Appalachian Trail in April. He went home after we reached the NOC, and I went on solo for a few weeks. To keep myself entertained, I listened to a conspiracy theories podcast while I walked by myself over the wooded mountains. I ate up the stories as eagerly as the bag of jolly ranchers I carried with me, but there was one episode I decided not to listen to, Missing 411. Months after returning from the trail, I finally have the courage to listen to these stories, and I was surprised to hear that one of then took place at Newfound Gap, a place I traveled through on the solo portion of my journey. I remember brushing my teeth by the side of the road and hitching a ride to Gatlinburg. I even have a couple pictures. It was all good vibes while I was there though.
Same hiked from springer down and out the NOC to the Fontana Hilton and Thru the smokies to Hot Springs and never seen anything creepy whatsoever 🤣
Definitely brave to hike appalacia by yourself.
You listen to a podcast while hiking. So dumb.
You were blessed. I know many hike this area but I won’t ever be one of them.
Months after. No wonder that someone wanted to find you while you were Missing 411 and didn't even realize it, LOL :)
we don't know what's in the depth of the ocean nor what creatures linger in the woods. i've heard so many stories about "the wendigo" and I'm pretty sure this thing is out there although i've never experienced it myself. but i can feel it. he can imitate voices to lurk people in and is supposed to smell like sulfur and rotten flesh, just like it's mentioned in the video. whatever you do, do NOT start running, because this will trigger his hunting instinct. he's quicker than you anyway. act like you didn't hear or see him, walk (DONT RUN) out of the woods and do not look him in the eyes. fire and sage is supposedly protective but idk. just wanted to get that info out there in case anyone experiences something strange in the woods. stay safe.
A lot of these stories sound like something demonic to be honest. Foul odor, hearing voices or high pitch frequencies, fire (light) and sage for protection. Wouldn't it be wild if these are just animals possessed by evil spirits.

Thank you 😮 about the sage info. I've heard of wendigo also. Didn't know about walking not running either.

Coming from a family of "wonderers", people used to be so connected to nature. The rivers, the woods, the mountain etc, and all the beings and spirits that came with them. We had unity at one point and then people started leaving. Breaking connection to a realm that instinctually protects its own. My ancestors taught us to fear the night but also respect it. The energy you give is what will be returned to you threefold. Believe it or not, I dont mind, but there are some things that are inherently real and you're taught to discourage yourself from truth.
When hear these stories it makes me wonder how so many people living van life or car lifes go into the wilderness by themselves. I just think its terrifying. I remember going to a camp ground in Texas called sulphur creek. We rented a little cabin, its was big enough to fit two bunk beds and a sink. I remember having to use the restroom and the community bathroom were about a my block away. I went outside the door of the cabin and beyond the light that was above us it was pitch black. I mean so dark I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face. Its like the dark swallowed everything around it. Terrifying! I went straight back in and started looking for a bucket. Lol. I couldn't imagine being in the middle of vast forest like Yellowstone.

When I was a kid and growing up in the country side in Pakistan, I used to have a 3 ish ft tall dog, about 100lbs. We used to walk him with two chains around his neck I would hold one and my friend would hold the other one. This thing was a beast. There was an old oak tree about nine hundred years old and the dog would not go near the tree and even if you passed near the tree he was stick his tail in between his legs like a wuss. He would avoid even looking at that tree. There was a small pond under that tree and in the hot blazing summer for some strange reason the pond water would always be close to a freezing point
there's an alien inter dimensional station setup by the pound? your dog can sense it?
A 900 year old oak tree?? It must have been ready to crash down any second. I've actually seen an old tree drop a 200 pound limb because of rot, and heard the horrible noise. It can be deadly to walk under very old oak trees. The dog must have sensed a rotting limb, or heard the beginning of a slow growing crack.
@@cathyf.2672I worked with a tree removal service that did urban work and we cut down a tree that had to have been 500 years old. Near the center at the base there iron rods that had to have been hammered into the tree a good 200 years prior. The boss was a fucking disgusting pig of a man with no interest in any of this and we destroyed the stump the same day.
They say dogs and cats can see what we can't sometimes. They say spirits draw energy like heat making it cold or electric ,like draining batteries fast. That tree being that old holds alot of history, and if anyone was buried by it, the dog can smell that through the tree. Because the roots take up the remains. I would avoid the tree. Tail tucked is a sign the dog is scared. Animals can even sense earthquakes. If nature ever goes completely silent, get to safety ASAP!

My parents used to go for long rides in the more country part of Kansas City. One night they came home and told me that as they were slowly driving in the country dad told mom to look next to their car. They were on the road this thing was about 8-10 ft away in a field. It was running with the car and when it decided to leave it took off so fast they couldn't believe it. Dad said it looked like a wolf only on all fours it was taller than their Chevy. They were both in awe over the size. I believe they spotted a dogman.

The Boy Scouts had a disappear while they were camping in the San Bernardino Mountains in S. California. The boy said he was not feeling well and so, decided not to go with the troop when they hiked to the peak (climbing from about 8,000 feet to 11,000 feet). The leaders told the boy to not leave camp. When they returned several hours later the boy was missing. The leaders left the boy BY HIMSELF in camp. It was not until some 10 years later that the boys remains were found. It would appear that he decided that he was feeling better and decided to hike to the peak and meet up with the troop. At some point, he fell off the trail and his remains were found scattered about 100 yards below the trail.
Getting lost in a remote area is very easy thing to do. It doesn't take a monster to make it happen.
How stupid to leave a child alone when you are supposed to be responsible for them! I know it was a different time then. But this is why we have policies in place now. You can't just leave a kid alone. Poor kid may have been scared precisely because he was alone, and wanted to catch up with the others. Anything could have happened to him even if he had stayed put as they told him to do.
That said, I saw a news report recently of a toddler being left all alone at daycare, in a darkened room, all because her mother was 15 minutes late picking her up. Surely that went against policy, and yet they did it anyway. The mom arrived 15 minutes after she was originally supposed to, so thankfully the child wasn't alone for long. But had stood on a chair to look out the glass part of the door and was probably terrified, being left alone. There's seriously some idiots out there, careless, impatient, selfish and reckless who should not be responsible for other people's kids. Tragic that boy lost his life due to the lack of common sense of the adults charged with watching and caring for him.
I don’t trust the Boy Scouts to have any supervision over young boys. Who knows what horrible things were done with this child by a supervisor or tag along. Then killed to get rid of evidence.

There's a spot about 5 minutes outside of my town. We went back in there hiking and camping one night. We found a bunch of old rock foundations from cabins and such. So we set up tent and start to crash out. Keep in mind it's pitch black out there at night. You're under a dense tree canopy in these woods. About two hours later I hear footsteps outside the tent in the leaves. The dog sits upright and backs up against me and all his fur is standing on end. My girlfriend is looking at me with her eyes wide. we're just listening. The light inside the tent is like a night light that barely gives off any, just enough to see what's next to you.
Why didn't the dog bark? He's always a yappy dick head. Barks at shadows.
The foot steps stop about 10 feet from the ten and we hear this woman's voice say "Hello there!" Very cheerful sounding as if she met us on the trail. So I said "um hello. Can I help you with something?" And she didn't respond. So I grab my light and walk outside. Nobody is there. No lights in the woods, no foot steps, no foot prints. To sound at all. No mushrooms involved lol

@@SugarMilkbro I was in the zigzag forest area camping with a guide. This guy knew his stuff been out in the woods most of his life.
We camped out in the wilderness next to a stream not in any official camping spot. The first thing my buddy did was build a fire circle and had me gather enough fire wood to last all night. He told me it was because of cougars. I thought it was a little strange the way he said it but I complaid. After we had the wood and he got a very small fire started then we put up the tent and the rest of camp.
That night we were drinking by the fire when I heard a baby crying. I went to get up and my buddy. Put his hand ony arm with a grip like a vice. Literally pulled my back into my log. What he said still spooks me to this day. He said there is no baby out there. Stay by the fire and pretend like you don't hear anything. So we did just that. We didn't talk anymore just stayed in front of the fire. Then after about 10 minutes the baby's cry just stopped. About 30 seconds later a woman started sobbing and crying asking for help. Same thing I started to stand up and he looks at me and shakes his head.
After a few minutes it stops and I felt I don't know how to describe it but I felt like a presence leave. I see my buddy relax. Then he says this to me.
That was why we built the fire first thing. People get lost all the time out here. There are other things that live in the woods things science won't acknowledge. It's best to leave those things alone. Not all of them are bad. But there was no woman or baby out in those woods. Just something trying to lure us away from the safety of the camp. People go missing in the woods all the time. Those people are good folks just trying to help or curious. You don't get curious in the middle of the woods at night. You stay by the fire in your camp. When the woods go quiet you go quiet. Then he told me about 30 seconds before that baby cried the woods went silent.
The experience gave me a lot of knowledge but gave me a huge respect for the wilderness and taught me that there are other things out there that we don't want to think about or acknowledge in our safe secure homes and cities.
Could be a skin walker!
The line “experienced hiker”, to me, means that they knew their death was waiting. There is no way I would ever call myself “experienced”, but I have been out there enough to know I am not the top of the food chain, no matter what anyone has ever said.
One misstep, on predator, one rockslide, one sip from the brain amoeba laden water, and you die. Accepting that can indeed make you experienced. But disappearing, that’s just creepy for those left behind.
I'm from a reservation in the Pacific Northwest and it was told to me that it's bad luck to even have a slip and fall in the woods. Obviously because you lose your sense of direction and can get turned around but you leave yourself looking vulnerable to the eery unknown forces. I know from experience. I fell and end up being lost kept going in circles. Later on after I found my way out my sister said it was probably Sasquach playing tricks on me😳😳😳
Or maybe your crack addiction 🤣

Well thank God you didn't wind up a Missing 411 statistic!
If i were in your shoes i believe i would start listening much closer to your sister, she not only is wise and somewhat educated on this subject, if their is such a thing since they all could be liars [SABE] we ASSUME they are the ones doing these things since they have admitted to such things to those they interact with. Most of these creatures are not very well behaved, some are very pleasant to be around, a real joy to be able to ask questions that the answers come from the horses mouth , keeping in mind that the answers are to the best of their knowledge, based on information passed down from one generation to the next, no official record keeping. The female i have known since 1983 led me and my uncle to believe they were gorillas, she had read my mind because i was thinking the primate s are what our gov. used for testing nerve agents and mustard gases made exclusively for wars. Way back in the day we had no internet only what we had learned from the TV or movies library teachers and universities. One of the militaries outer perimeter fences was only 1000 feet from my front door, however it was a very lg. base covering nearly a million acres. My uncle and i and he worked there as a civilian testing weapons, he said friends told him they use gorillas all the time and other monkeys, none of the gorillas were big silverbacks only standard size 2-3 hundred lbs all raised in captivity. However we didn't know that type of testing was long gone animal activist stopped it. At this time i had 1 year left of college before leaving to start medical school 800 miles north from home, she and her youngsters would come out and greet me on holidays xmas, it was a difficult time in my life if i wasn't in class i was studying, i had to maintain a high b grade average to keep scholarship .. Sorry but i tend to babble a bit, i recently retired and have found that i have way too much free time on my hands, and never learned to play golf and just started fishing and i love it. Certain SABE can erase your memory it seems up to 24 hrs. they get carried away and the person can lose their perspective and get lost, some having no idea why they are in the forest, some will remember what happen weeks later or longer some never do remember, When in the past you ever felt like someone was watching you, that's a real feeling and you most likely were being observed, they can be 3 feet away and you not see them .

I spend tons of time in my local nat park, often into the night and off trail, totally alone. I do conservation research and wildlife photography, and often wander into new areas to explore. I feel more comfortable alone in nature than I do around other people in the city, even in conditions most regular people would consider terrifying. Hiking in the moonlight hearing 2 dozen coyotes howl a chorus from all directions, rustling in bushes, a surprise wildlife encounter, it's all great fun! Don't be afraid people get out and enjoy nature!!!

This. Comment only shows your ignorance. Grow up!
My gosh, Joel Tomazin was the guy that disappeared when me and my Coworkers backpacked to Lake Eleanor. We arrived there, and the next morning when we woke up, we saw park rangers and helicopters. We spoke with the ranger and he debriefed us on the situation. We tried to help look, and saw a ton of other hikers helping. Zero signs, not even a sign of his kayak. We still talk about it at work, and about how there were zero traces of his disappearance! He was an experience outdoorsman too.
My brother and I had a similar incident to Jeremy's werewolf, in Utah, in the late 1980s, but whatever the thing was, it was even more aggressive, and actually hurled a large rock at our car before racing at us, on a dark night and a winding road, complete with deadly drop offs. The fact that we were in a ragtop made the scenario that much scarier; the thrown rock hit our windshield and bounced sideways, leaving a spiderweb of cracked glass, and it crossed our minds that we were e tra vulnerable without a metal canopy. Both pacifist animal lovers, neither of us would ever harm anyone or anything, except, we discovered, in self defense; we spoke not a single word, but the message that passed between was clear: Get out of this alive. We couldn't back up, so instead accelerated forward, as fast as the winding road allowed; too fast, and we would have plummeted down hundreds of feet, while too slow would have given the creature a quicker opportunity to get to us. We kind of smacked it as it ran into us, but not hard enough to knock it down, or over the cliff; we kept going until it disappeared in the rear view, and until we hit a small town. Ten years ago, on Christmas Eve, we talked almost all night, having had a falling out for a few months, and talked about that incident for the very first time in decades; right after we got into town, we talked about what had happened, like trying to figure out what the thing was, but then didn't mention it again, ever, for whatever reason. We couldn't decide if it stopped because of our aggressive (as possible) response, or if it realized we were leaving as quickly as possible. My brother died just hours later, and I'm more than grateful we made up, as well as having discussed that event, and we were both surprised by the other's complete recall of that night. I'm still not sure what it was, but we were both certain it wasn't anything we'd ever seen before, in person, photos, or videos, and neither of us saw anything like it ever again.
Have you ever been back to that location and area?
It all sounds very demonic and by demonic I mean it sounds like an encounter with something half flesh half spirit, an evil one at that. They say that the abominable offspring of women and fallen angels can't go up or down so they are stuck and hidden in our very realm.

LONG??? He jumps from one story to the next with no segue whatsoever. Without so much as a breath in between. Stories end unexpectedly. I WISH they were full/long versions. 😐
u cant do that for commercials
As a hiker who sometimes hikes alone…I believe everyone who tells me their weird experiences and stories of what they see & experienced…but I also don’t believe them, if you know you know. We all have this experience of denial because it rips us of our reality. But I believe because I’ve been there & I wouldn’t call anyone’s bluff. I’ll probably just say, “ok, let’s leave right now.” 😂
The mushroom they showed while talking about "psychedelics" was an Amanita Muscaria mushroom. It contains muscimol and ibotenic acid (but none of the psychedelic compound psilocybin). These compounds ARE "psychoactive," however auditory and visual hallucinations are uncommon and minimal when present, and the psychological effects are more akin to fear and confusion. What this means that mushroom they showed , the Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) doesn't really fall into the category of "psychedelics," and was a poor choice for the video...
the story of the kids who ate the shrooms is as spooky as it gets. i think the dealer really was there but he was abducted. i think Simon was killed. and i think Pam and Simon's sister entered into a separate timeline than Anders and Simon.
That story scares the fuck out of me. One of my theories was the dealer guy was a trickster spirit who had a seriously malicious streak. He started the shit that got everyone separated, and it would explain the differences in memories. He messed everything up and vanished.
this story actually terrified me ngl
I made the mistake of trying to take a nap while listening to this video, and that story absolutely scared the hell out of me. So creepy and dark. I wish they would do another autopsy on Simon! And if the other three were tested to see if they only have shrooms in their system, or if maybe there were other sugstances on the shrooms, etc. So crazy!
Does anyone know of any sources to learn more about it? I can’t find anything online.
This story I have not tried to look up! But based on how creepy it is, I am going to guess it is more than likely based on a true event. Much love and shalom!
The giant wolves & werewolf sightings can easily be explained by the possibility that Dire wolves aren't actually extinct, they're simply so few in number and keep to these remote areas humans typically don't frequent. Since we do not know their behavioral norms, it is also possible that, like bears, they lift up on their hind legs to make themselves appear larger when they feel threatened. Mackenzie wolves - a subspecies of timber wolves have been known to reach 200 pounds and be the size of an average human man - it is also possible that dire wolves and other wolves like timber wolves created an unknown/undiscovered subspecies as well. It's the pre-discovery argument of panda bears all over again.
Yeah I think most monster stories aren't supernatural, just very rare natural phenomena
There have been werewolf/dogman sightings all over the world and in every culture. I'm of the mind that they may be sentient and (as some recorded incidents have stated) intelligent. If that is the case, I'm of the mind that some of the areas in national parks may contain small remnants of their civilizations that are under the auspices of certain government bodies. Just a theory.
Chill 😂kid
@@emptyandcold24
Just a theory,
Perhaps the reason there are similarities in so many cultures has to do with the fact that the human species originated in the same place and then spread over the world. May-hap many of these similar stories are just the evolution of an age old shared history that has evolved in different directions regionally. Large wolves did, in fact, exist during early human history.
Could also be due to biased interpretations/recordings. For example, Roman depictions of Druids, or how Rome treated other cultural deities as variants of their own rather then distinctly unique creations. (That doesn't mean those gods had a shared background originally.)
@@emptyandcold24 what exactly would dire wolves or dawgdude eat? Remember megafauna predators need megafauna prey. It's ALL about the calories...
I've been listening to the extensive backlog of your incredible content. Thank you so much for putting all the time and energy into making videos like this one.
A few factors though. Once you're in some wilderness area with bears or mountain lions, generally you can't assume people being at the top of the food chain all the time. Wolves too, if there's an established and well-coordinated pack living in that area. Any of those can definitely snatch a person up if they're not aware and get ambushed.
Other than that, elk, moose, and buffalo can totally rofl-stomp somebody if they're in a bad mood. If that gets followed up by any scavengers, there may be little left to show of somebody.
Still in the category of animals, wolverines and badgers can wreck a person with a ferocity that doesn't match their size. Take the presence of those seriously as well and give them space if aware.
Terrain and weather definitely presents real threats, but you generally mitigate that by staying on trail. This doesn't seem to account for all the missing-411 type cases though.
Last but not least, other people. You're away from where there's any regular or quick law enforcement, and you can get a few deranged souls that have no qualms about murdering for whatever reasons. Could be anything from wandering into the territory of an irl murder-hobo and doing something that upsets them, or something about you strikes the fancy of a serial killer. If there's scant to no evidence or the MO isn't obvious, then they can get away with whatever they do in the woods unimpeded.
If you're somewhere far enough into nature on your own, then having some means to defend yourself is never a bad idea.
Good points, thank you. I knew about dangerous bears, boar, mountain lions and "Murder-Hobo" but not aware of how deadly wolves, wolverine, badgers and big game animals can be. There are so many natural ways for a person to get lost, or die in the forest.
Thought the trip one was pretty crazy, here's my thoughts:
- Siren was likely a forest fire watchtower or something of the sort (possibly a weather station)
- Most hallucinations were 100% side effects of the mushrooms
- Aside from hallucinations, psilocybe mushrooms also can cause color exaggerations (could explain the white dust)
- The reason the dealer guy went mute, etc (seeing scary things) was likely that the group dynamics had caused his trip to sour
I cannot explain the death, that could've been anything, and I could only imagine how traumatic the death of a friend & brother would be while tripping mushrooms.
The mushrooms be involved really made this one kind of go out the window for me but still it was a pretty sad story
Hi, park ranger here.* we close the parks down to search the woods for people hiding stuff as well as to make sure stuff is safe to reopen. If we allow the parks to be open 100% threw the year we wouldn’t be able to make sure no one is hiding out, or that predator animals are not over populating. It’s kinda hard when people are hunting or hiking and camping. Also, it’s hush hush cus some people hide stuff out here like drugs and other things that could be sick and perverse so letting em know that where looking for em makes things harder. Imagine a live stream of police looking for someone on the run. Makes no sense right? Long story short we close parks to take a fine comb threw it once in awhile. Like you would spring clean your house.
Good to know, thank you!

My friend and I have encountered that type of screeching entity that leaves you not wanting to talk about it in fear of being treated as crazy. This was at a place called Ghost Hill near Luskville Quebec. I get chills and shivers at how similar your retelling of these stories are to mine.

Could be a mountain lion screeching?

@@pizzaguru176 and Anthony has given a misleading answer anyway.
@@anthonyshanaman5637 that's incorrect. We went metric during my childhood, and I got the job of being navigator, and converting kms to miles for Dad, on country drives. He probably didn't need to know; it just kept me occupied. I'd look up the kilometres in distance to the next town on the map, divide by 8, then times 5 to get a reasonable idea of the miles. Only approximate but close enough. A mile is longer than a kilometre. 1 mile roughly equals 1.6 kilometres.
I grew up in WA, we as a family visited my parents home state where extended family still live today. I once had to park off the road near the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park because we didn't get there in time to enter and find and secure a protected tent site. During the night my vehicle was shaken, because of the many micro earthquakes I have always been able to feel, I ignored it until one of my children woke up starting to freak out. I remembered quickly the stories told by my extended family and told my daughter to calm down and play dead, at that point I looked up to see two glowing yellow green eyes about seven and a half feet high, dark and heavy figure and hearing a huffing growling sound all the while the car was still being rocked. I prayed in my head that what I figured to be a Grizzly bear would get bored and leave us alone. God heard my prayer and as quickly as it began it ended. When dawn came after the incident I saw faint scratches on my car's roof and the trunk lid. I asked our companions if they heard or felt anything, they reported that they had felt some rumbling but not very long. I tell the story in more detail and people freak out even more to find out my other daughter didn't hear or see anything she slept through the ordeal. There's many other interesting things I have witnessed in my life, if I share them people who don't have ability to use more than 10% of their brains think people like me are crazy, other people have had similar events happen to them so I know I am not alone.

I was in a wilderness program as a juvenile in the state of Utah. We were in the Capital Reef Cross section when Park Rangers came and took out their map and coordinated with us on our map, a new set of destinations completely in the opposite direction of where we were supposed to go. And all of it was for Skinwalker activity . This was 23 years ago now. Never had I heard of them before as I'm not from that state even. But to all the locals and rangers. It was familiar and was taken very seriously.
😐 so. What.
So skin walkers are the norm thing in utah? Just unspoken?
Idk why but that Red flashing video of the person laughing after hearing you say she felt pure evil scared the hell out of me. Haven't felt my heart drop like that in a while.

Same! I was like wtf is that?!
I wish I had more info on this and will share my personal experiences in a seperate comment, but one of my old teachers lived in Hawaii for a long time and he told me a story of the M’os (spelling?). And how they still exists and are present in Hawaii.
There were weird noises or just odd occurrences in a waterfall in Oahu. Eventually a wildlife park ranger came to check it out. Went to the waterfall and looked down at the water and saw a giant water dragon spirit shoot out from the water below and go straight into the sky. Since he had to record what he saw - his observance is documented in the police files somewhere in Oahu. I think there was a decision to not release it into the news but that story sat with me and gave me a sense of peace.
overall, I believe that you just have the have respect for the land it it will respect you. There’s places with good energy and dark energy, and you just have to honor how you feel within the environments your surrounded with.
The story of the group that had the mushroom trip from hell reminds me of the movie " Synchronic ". It's about a DMT like designer drug that sends the user to an unknown time and place for the length of the drug's effect...like a portal. I'm one that believes if " they " made a movie about it.....it has probably happened to some extent.
To me, the story of "Synchronic" seems possible as I have had experiences with DMT and thats the best way to describe it....a portal. So maybe those mushrooms had been altered in some way genetically and opened a door to God knows what??? Just a thought.
Yes! I have never seen that movie before but I am going to look it up now. I know that the one time I took mushrooms I ripped a hole into another dimension. So I am sure that what they saw was real… even if they all saw different realities. It gave me chills.
I Thought the same thing but couldn’t remember the name of the movie. That’s crazy similar if it is t based on this story
Where can I read about this group?
The ancient Greek word for sorcery is "pharmakeia".
Yeah that's a cool movie, I remember the first time I watched it. I had to rewatch it again because it was so cool. All those people were tripping pretty hard. They probably ate a lot of really good mushrooms. Like I remember when Anders said the guy was covered in Ash, I immediately thought this guy is not going to be covered in anything when they find him. Because I've seen people change different colors when I've been on mushrooms before. And then their color comes back to normal after the trip is gone. Must have been some really good mushrooms. It's still a strange story and I'm going to have to look up more about it.
I can not recall the date or who...
I am in the Great Smoky Mountains 2 to 3 times a month from February to October every year for the last 10 years.
I remember a young man who went missing from Cherokee. He was seen on video leaving a motel in Cherokee with a backpack on. He later was reported missing by his family.. a park ranger at Ocunalufty remembers a young man asking her to keep an eye on his car he was going hiking, should be back in a couple of days.
He never returned. Fast forward approximately 18 months later. A young couple were on one of the trails and pass a young man in shorts t- shirt, no shoes, dirty on the trail. They thought it odd but didn't really think anything about it. A few hours later on a different trail they came upon a backpack. The backpack was sitting in the middle of the trail, looked almost new. Inside was a wallet with 5 thousand cash, watch, other personal items....
They turn it in to one of the
Ranger offices...........it belonged to the guy missing from Cherokee, but it had been almost 2 years....
Was the guy they passed the missing guy? Was the guy they saw the missing guy?......
The GSMNP, Is one of the most beautiful but dangerous, mysterious parks we have.
I got woken up and followed by a bear in the Appalachians for like 7 miles last year. Just wouldn’t leave me alone because I had picked up a grocery bag full of trash along the hike. It woke me from my hammock sniffing my stuff out and I was super shaken and scared it to a distance. Luckily in an area with cell service, so I was on the phone with family the whole hike back.
Another time I was in the Desolation Wilderness west of Tahoe. Was on the west side in Eldorado Nat’l Forest and hiked several miles until I hit wilderness. Kept going, even though no trail (I had a game plan, familiar with the maps, nav gear, etc and feel very confident in my land navigation skills). About 2 miles into the Wilderness though I could swear I was being pushed out. Dead silent, no animal noises or wind and I just had this skin crawling feeling that people weren’t supposed to be there. I’ll throw a bit up to nerves but I adventure A LOT and know a bad feeling when I get one. I’m not that superstitious, but I hadn’t seen a single person all day and felt like I needed to leave, so I did. Lots of history in the Sierra, who knows what you’ll find..
I’ve also spent years exploring the PNW, and man I have a dozen stories about unexplainable things happening on the Olympic Peninsula.
I'm from that area (Olympics) and was part of back country horsemen growing up and would go way out sometimes.... I usually loved the forest out there... good vibes. The main thing way out I'm afraid of is people... there are some weirdos back in there. We usually had at least one person with a gun. I'm curious what you saw in the Olympics...?
I have always been able to feel other things surrounding me. We like to disassociate from things that cause us fear. Just because we ignore it, doesn’t mean it’s not real.
You're a great story teller, and kept me captivated. If you allow a moment of time for closure between stories it would help for understanding.
There are so many stories out there from competent and trustworthy people that I believe in the big critters that live in the wild. thanks again.
you know what's crazy, is I have camped the Uintah's my entire life where one of the stories is from, and have definitely heard and seen some weird stuff up there, two things come to the forefront of my mind, first was personal, I remember one year I was camping with my family and a friend and there was a "bear hunter" that was driving around but dude had a lot of equipment and a ton of dogs with him, it was slightly off-putting due to the fact that neither me or my family (my family has herded sheep up there since the early 1900s) had ever seen one up there. Well, I think it was the second or third night there I could hear something running around up near the road, which was about 20 yards from the camp, and then suddenly it howled/screamed I have never heard something like that before or after the incident it sounded like and animal and a man mixed together, that was actually the last year I ever camped up there in a tent.
lastly my grandpa in his youth while taking care of the sheep was stalked by something in the woods by either the biggest mountain lion he had ever seen or something that was not just an animal.
so, if yall ever find yourself camping up left or right fork canyon (it's up Spanish fork canyon just after the chevron. just be careful.
lastly side not, if yall happen to ever visit the old cabin up there (it's on the ridge line above the old ranger station. my great grandparents built that..)
My grandpa used to survey for the forest service and would go out weeks at a time with his horse, mule, and a dog all the time. I was always amazed how he could do that and i dont think he got lost often. Always told me the horse would find its way back if he couldn't. He also told me he was more scared of a moose than anything else, imagine one of those waking you up when its pitch black outside. Sometimes i wish i took his career route
What is your grandpa career routine called?
Some people have a natural sense of direction, spacial awareness and tracking. I think living in the city or suburbs often dulls those skills.
@@FireHill20 no idea, I just know he surveyed for the forest service and laid out trails to be made and stuff like that. He retired then started a little business doing it for property
@@wesadams5128 that pretty cool
Moose kill more people than wolves and bears combined
This was fantastic! Scared the hell out of me to the point that I didn't want to smoke outside in the dark, and I live in the CITY! LOL!
Don't look for reptilian stories. They mainly happen in cities/city sewers 😲
Even more reason to be afraid, Be VERY AFRAID...Lo
@@Emeraldwitch30 SH!T!!!
I watch in my bedroom with lights on.
@@johnnywalker6961 sorry sweetie!🤗 here's an old grandma lady hig to keep ya safe 🙏 ❤
This is the first video I have seen and you gained my subscription, I have lived in the Appalachian mountains all my 40+ years in eastern Kentucky, and I can't say weather or not the stories you told from other people are fact or fiction but I have encountered a few different things like you described in the video, and I don't care if anyone believes me or not because I can still feel the feeling of dread impending doom to this day when I think about seeing a 6-8 ft black human like thing with big red eyes watching me . I have seen other things but nothing else has left a 30 year old reminder to always look behind my back when I'm outside after dark. And we were told many other stories about strange or supernatural things that happened.
His stories are true
I believe u...i v seem an airplane with no wings in t Middle of t afternoon...day light...in t mountains of Gardunha in the center of Portugal, around 25 years ago or more...and I Will never forget it...no noise...sun Shining on it...too fast for a zepling...too slow for a plane...and no wings...just a tube Shining gold under t sun...plus i was on t SIDE of t mountain and it was flying between t mountains só almost at t same altitude as me... Surreal ...i dont speak about it much because before people would think i was crazy só I just...never spoke about it much...
idk what is going on in those mountains of Appalachia but there are a lot of horrifying monsters
Man i wanna go explore those mountains now...
Here in rural England UK, me and another girl saw a 7ft werewolf type of animal in the distance run and stand up then run back into the bushes, then shortly after the group we were with all heard a deep growl right in the shrubs next to us. We were being stalked. Ended up running home in rain and mud in school uniform coming home to a very confused mom. I'll never forget the way my older sister grabbed me as soon as we heard the growl.
@@ElleAngeles My husband is from Australia and he told me about the exact same kind of thing. A huge wolf human creature chasing him but avoiding lights. Standing up and pacing. Gives me chills!!!
Regarding the creature at 33:40.
My brother in law went on a fishing trip in California with his brothers and a few friends, all men. The sun had set already as they were driving back from a big lake in two trucks dragging two boats. They lived in the San Joaquin Valley and I believe this lake they went to was quite a drive away. They were leaving the parking lot and probably driving through the windy roads of the lake. It was pitch back. As they were driving on the road still in the vicinity of the lake their high beams illuminated what looked like a person walking on the side of the road. They were thinking who could be walking this late on the road? The person was walking on the left side towards the position they were leaving. Never mind the fact that this person was walking in pitch black without a light. As they drew closer they realized it wasn’t a person at all. It’s eyes were reflecting the light from their headlights back at them like how an animal’s would. It was a creature standing up and walking like a human, had a snout, it’s whole head was like a canine’s. It was really hairy and it had its hands up to its head shaking it’s head. Not seeming to mind them until they passed by it and it turned its head to look at them. The first car saw it first and then the second car. They were able to confirm that the men in both cars saw the creature. They all remained quiet about it until they got home.😮
It's amazing how our perception of what is real and what isn't has been manipulated. I know there are humanoids, criptids, and interdimentional beings that come and go at will. I just pray that when the veil drops we aren't left with mentally broken people that clung to what reality they thought to be the truth.
Those are just jinns though. They existed even before mankind. It's nothing new. Maybe to white people
My family is from El Salvador and they have a term for people that go insane after “seeing” something supernatural that leaves them “crazy” it’s “Jugado” but it translates to “played” , and it’s common for people who experience something unexplainable, they end up like that and they either are stuck in that moment forever rambling about what they saw,without being able to actually speak so in a way that is understood…it’s really sad I’ve actually met someone like that in Mexico once, his family told me that he was never the same after one day he came back home after a few hours of having been missing during the night (he was supposed to be home after work finished but didn’t come home until a few hours later) and he had the same characteristics of someone “jugado “ he would ramble about that night as if those words were the only words he could ever say,so that’s why his family believed he “saw” something
As a backpacker, lone backpackers are scary to me. I’ve slipped getting water or just sat on a long and fell off when I got up and if you do that in the wrong area, you can fall down and get stuck somewhere no one will see you at all. I am very familiar with the area the first guy went missing in, and there are rocky crags you can fall in, or even get swept away in a river and get stuck in white water areas. Or just fall down a hill and get stuck at the bottom hurt bad and no one would be able to see you past any brush. You wouldn’t think of it, but it’s very very easy to get lost or even walk a few yards away, and lose track of your group. That area is huge and there are plenty of places people just can’t get to or see easily out there.
Here in the Philippines, our elders told us not to go in the woods not just because of dangerous animals, but also spirits, fairies, and mythical creatures might take us.
Can you elaborate? Maybe drop a story. I’m very curious
Be aware Not of nature Spirts but of the Governments .
@@Brandon_metabalmost same in native American culture, shape shifters, crying babies in the woods, giant humanoid beings, local version of the vampire, shadow people crossing roads to cause accidents, etc etc
When I arrived at the town of Shasta on our road trip, we stopped by Lake Siskiyou, a man-made lake there.I got the strangest, creepiest feeling when we started walking around-like something dreadful happened there. I never experienced anything like that before and I've traveled quite a bit.
When I later read about it, I saw that there has been a lot of paranormal activity reported in the area.
I felt its presence and still remember it today.
I had that exact same creepy feeling at Convict Lake in the late '80s. My boyfriend at the time wanted to walk across the still frozen lake and I said let's get the hell outta here! Turns out there were many deaths at that lake from walking on the frozen lake - which was not solid enough to walk on in the first place!
The videos you do is a lot of hours, time, work and effort, I appreciate all that you do.
He's actually copying a lot of David David Paulides work from Missing 411. Sadly, no credit given. Check out the channel Missing 411. David is a retired officer who dedicated his life to making people aware of these strange stories and disappearances. Excellent man.
I grew up hiking and camping my entire life. While camping with family in Yosemite National Park we were sleeping in our tent. Then about 2:30 am I was awoken by what sounded like coyotes. Then something else started howling with them but it did not sound like a coyote. After the coyotes stopped, blood curdling shrieks and roars started to begin. Which lasted another ten minutes or so. Never had I been so scared in my entire life, I held my shotgun close while cowering in my sleeping bag at the unknown. There are strange things in the woods that we do not know of.
I also love hiking and camping. It's hard to explain how scary it can be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself, or even with a few friends. After about two hikes alone, I also started carrying multiple weapons, haha. Scary stuff happens in the mountains.
Wait so did you check the next day for the wolves or tracks ?
I could not tell exactly where the howls were coming from. At night time in the forest it could have been anywhere with miles and miles of dense trees.
It would be good if someone could make a sound recording of the event.
I solo camped in Yosemite in my truck two summers ago before learning of all of these national park disappearances. Luckily nothing weird happened and I had my weapon on me.
Why isn’t no one talking about the kids on shrooms? That whole experience is jaw dropping! i was totally dumbfounded at the end, where the dealer went missing never to be found! & the sister doesn’t recall picking anyone up?
As for Simon u kno how the girl said she seen native Americans walking, what if Simon had that white dust kinda looks like paint u know how the native Americans would have all over their body and face? What if it was that??
Man at first I was thinking these kids are tripping hard! but at the end how none of the stories are adding up.. what if they did disrespect the land of the native Americans and they did something to Simon that’s why they found him like that? And that sound was kinda like a alarm that they do? Ugh idk but this story was just so interesting! I wish there was a interview on the kids or a documentary on them.. doesn’t help that they were on shrooms but to say Simon didn’t take anything? man, this is all a mind fuck.. crazy how they seen the native Americans and it is there land..
Right!! And I have a giant bag of mushrooms for camping this year too. Not sure about it now. 😱
I wondered if Simon had an actual autopsy, I know he said they didn't know what killed him, but it is so strange.
@@autodogdact3313 yeah he did, they said they didn’t find by shrooms in his system. Witch is so weird bc one of the girls mention that everyone took the mushrooms but simons sister said he never took anything.
All 2 hours are so entertaining. Loved this video! But that shroom story…wow. I cannot find ANYTHING on this, at all though.
@@jordyncarter769 I couldn’t either! i looked hard too lol
On one of my first dates with my now husband we took a walk on a paved path in a small suburban forest preserve near where I lived. I saw those yellow glowing eyes, only a few feet away, and at eye level to me. Didn’t see any body or head, just the eyes, glowing and spaced far apart. Scary!
I was taught the natural wilds were not your friend, and can wound and kill you. They allowed you to visit, going solo wasn't wise no matter how adept you think you are and you had better understand what to take, what to wear, where you are going , when and how to run and how to protect and defend yourself while doing so and remain vigilant to danger at all times and with every step, your life was in your hands.
Nature just isn’t that scary or dangerous, I grew up in the woods and they’re the healthiest place a human being can possibly be. Nature heals the mind, body, soul, spirit.
Absolutely. A seemingly tiny mistake can lead to death.
@@frankG335 yeah if you have no idea what you’re doing you don’t belong in the woods. If you want to go into the woods learn what your doing, take classes, read books, watch UA-cam videos, start with small short excursions and build to long overnight stays. The woods are dangerous to those who don’t respect them, and that don’t prepare for them. That could be said if Times Square though to it’s kind of a common sense thing, well it used to be any way.
@@syskusa6512 Isn't that a bit of a contradiction from your first statement? If Nature isn't that dangerous why would someone who had no training 'not belong there'? The answer is that there are dangers for those who don't understand the risks and dangers inherent in negotiating a place that is unmanaged and contains wild animals. Ergo, Nature IS dangerous.
@@LQOTW 🤣 you’re just determined to have an argument, and to be right aren’t you. Congrats you win, hope you feel better about pointing out that not having common sense is dangerous. I still say Nature Heals and have witnessed it helping other veterans with PTSD connect with nature and have very lasting results. Cities aren’t dangerous at all though, but I’ll stay out here thanks. I would like to point out The animals out here are more afraid of you than you are of them, so you typically never even see them unless you’re looking for them. I look for them, I also hunt.
I am from the Appalachian area in fact I live in the valley and can tell you we are not lacking in animal life, I have even had deer chased by something into my backyard in Knoxville TN,! My dogs were going crazy it was daytime.it was the firstime having deer in the city! The nearby mountains are a very different story as bears are numerous and seem completely unafraid of people. Many enjoy getting into hot tubs and swim in Gatlinburg pools! However I recommend that you never approach them, definitely don't ever feed the bears. Most encounters are completely harmless, but we did have a school teacher eaten alive in our area of the smokies. Her and her husband had gone camping with the hope of time together to save their marriage, she had cooked them breakfast and they ate, he went upstream while she cleaned up and done a little fly fishing, he was returning to the campsite and heard aweful noises animals grunting and making noise when he saw them ripping his wife apart and eating her! They had taken all the recommended precautions and it was tragic. I would strongly recommend that if you venture into the mountains to go armed and stay together because you don't know what you can encounter. We also have panther bobcat and coyotes and wolves elk's and gorgeous scenery. Just be wise and never feed wildlife as once they get a craving for human food they will seek out people as a source of the food.
Its the people I do not trust.
There are bad people out here.
Be careful.
hey we live in the same place. cool. i live closer to johnson city but used to work cleaning cabins in pigeon forge & gatlinburg
I LOVE how he says “
Dealer dude “
Because that’s EXACTLY how your buddy would describe a story. Awesome
Having done search and resque in the BLW it is totally possible for a hiker to disappear and never be seen again and have no trace. This is also validate by the few cases where years later a trave is found and the hiker pretty much meet a natural death.
Regarding the Santa Fe National Forest, I know those structures are built by humans (I’m one of them) it’s actually something a lot of locals go up to the mountains to go do on a weekend for fun or to go camp in them, near them, or to hook up in them…also some hippies live in the forests. There are lots of abandoned buildings in the national forests too as many are old farms/land grants for farms. But yep, those teepee structures are made by hikers, and I’m one of them. [Time Stamp: 11:02]
They’re really cool!
Oh wow the mushroom story is really good. Utterly wild but at the same time has so much fine detail that makes it seem realistic. I got goosebumps a couple of times.
I like how you just jump to the question “could there be dragons living beneath Yellow Stone?” after giving a relatively down to earth recapturing of the tragic disappearance you mention first. I know this video is about mystery but the transition felt kind of stark.
Yeah there could also be TP for my bunghole under Yellowstone
