“I would rather my family spend a week in hell than potentially have an uncomfortable conversation with a neighbor” - the dad, also my dad, the most relatable part of this story lol
My dad is like that too! I've had to ask neighbours to stopping doing bothersome things many times cause me dad is like "well I don't want any trouble"
Imagine "hey guys so I'm about to take the ears off this rabbit, and I'm planning on doing more rabbits, or idk maybe a dog or a lion, let me know down in the comments what your favourite animal was! "
Since she said rabbit screams sounded like child screams, and since Payton wanted to go down there prematurely even after people warned him about the lion, I for sure thought the story was gonna end with her finding Payton’s corpse that had lay dying for the last week.
Um..... this is no joke, but I've had dreams just like this... with Shia.... and they weren't bad dreams. I was thinking of turning them into a story, but I couldn't get myself to do it
Oh thank god, I thought they were gonna say that a child was terribly injured and he was the one screaming for help for days but no one came to his rescue because everyone thought it was just the rabbit recording. I scared myself more than the story.
I really thought a child dying letting out a scream as thin and high-pitched as the rabbit as it has stressed several times on the dying rabbit's child-like scream sound...quite a waste not to jump at that build-up and interpret it as a true crime story with murderers using wild animals as disguise to prey on minority
I'm just surprised that Ryan was like, "That's what you get!" as opposed to his usual place in the bit of telling Shane he is a disturbed and abnormal individual.
Even if this story is fake, can we just appreciate the detail that was put into it? The description of the Mormon area in southern Idaho is totally accurate, all of the detail to the sounds of the animals and the whole concept of the mountain lion was amazing. This person is an incredible writer.
The description and word choices were top notch and therefore led me to believe that this was written by an actual writer, not some rando desperate to share their truth.
@@amaracrisostomo2612 This is totally unrelated, but you have an awesome name. I’ve never heard it outside of Supernatural, in which Amara is God’s sister.
definitely,, when the creature part came, my mood just dropped, I knew by then it's so fake,, I would love if they showed the animals dead body only,, thinking the lion killed em but at last pic the lion is dead itself leaving us to think who was it then-
Tbh if I was just reading the story I wouldnt mind. But because the amazing artist did an amazing job visualising the creature, I definitely lost my focus at that part
Man, if only they hadn’t visually described the creature doing the killing. They could’ve left the possibility of the mountain lion killing all the animals in a frenzy because it couldn’t find the one making the noise, and then the twist could’ve been the last photo showing that the mountain lion was dead, leaving us to wonder what really was killing them
Do you also enjoy scary stories on UA-cam? Jw cuz I'm an aspiring voice actor that also makes horror narrations and I'd love to help provide you with more content during quarantine if you're down for some new material to get into during these hard times! 😊👍
Haha! I was behind a woman in the drive thru the other day,the woman in front of me had 3 kids in a minivan with a bumper sticker that read "i used to be cool" lmao
Clearly this poor Critter was being driven bonkers by the noise loop and tried to give the horrible screechy haunted place offerings to make it stop. Poor monster couldn't sleep either.
Shane's weird owl dance is equal parts unsettling and hilarious. Seeing it here I laugh, but if I saw that coming at me in the dark I'd be noping the other way
Or (if we want to believe the story is true) he took a picture of the dead mountain lions eye while dropping the camera would give at least one reasonable explanation for the horse like eye and the fangs
Bro, I had a pet rabbit growing up, and she lived to the good, ripe old age of 12 years, but the night she died fucked me up bad. I held her as she passed, and the description in this story of how rabbits sound when they die is right on the money. That was three years ago, but it still messes me up to this day and makes me panic when I hear any noise that sounds like it (luckily I managed to make it through this video, mostly thanks to Shane lmao). Rip Early, you were the best bunny a kid could ever have and I hope wherever you are there’s plenty of hay and nanners
Same. I had my pet rabbit die right in my arms and it was honestly kind of traumatizing. The sound that rabbits make when they die is awful. Especially because they're basically silent and then they just scream
My pet rabbit Pearl also died in my arms when I was very young (about 6 yr old) and to this day, 18 years later, I can still remember her awful screech and how horrible it was for me to feel her last breath in my hands 💔
sadly had this exact same experience. My rabbit buttercup died in my arms- and the scream he made was frankly way worse than the recording. It's awful- an animal screaming as it dies (clear fear in their eyes as they look at you and you can do nothing to help as they screech). Especially when bunnies are pretty much silent .As a kid I didn't even know a bunny was capable of making much noise. So the noise sticks with you even more because of them screaming as they die. But-Imagine seeing anyone screaming in pain/fear and then just immediately passing. It happened like 11+ years ago and the scream still is burned in my memory.
My rabbit died a few days ago, on Christmas morning. my room feels really empty without him, but at the very least he went in the least painful way possible. He didn’t or show any signs of pain and was responsive, honestly I was and still am shocked he went so suddenly (only 2 days after he stopped eating) because I was almost certain he was just sick and wasn’t dying..
My rabbit was killed by something one night before 2 years. I kept him in my garden since he did not like to be in a cage and that was for like 1-2 years and nothing happened to him. My theory is that polecat killed him since these are the only one that can kill it in my region and go through the fence + there was broken raw egg in the garden so it probably tried to get from neightbours's chickens something to eat but stumbled on my rabbit. I never heard him screaming but still I will miss him always.
maybe this long woodland friend was just doing what cats do and bringing his new little human pals some nice snacks that he found he even smiled in his little selfie !! dude was proud of his gifts leave him alone
tbh growing up next to a mountain forest just builds you different, when i was a kid i was on a field with my friends and we heard wolves howling close to us and we were like ugh i guess we should go, then imagine a group of 13 year olds just slowly picking their things up while sounds of hurried wind, wolves howling, and a couple birds just echoing all over the place and us so annoyed like yeah fine we going ok
To be fair, wolves do tend to avoid humans, so unless you were IN their territory or you were the only edible meat thing around you probably didn't need to like freak out about it or anything. Wolves aren't cuddly puppies but they also aren't mindless killing machines.
I also live next to a mountain forest. A few years ago I was taking a walk with my mom and little sister. At some point I noticed something grey moving between the trees. It was a wolf of course. We were just looking at each other for a few moments and then he turned around and disappeared back into the trees.
@@kodomoshawn6729 That’s the funny thing though, when you live in the woods you understand that. But when people are from the city or near-city suburbs, they don’t understand the nuances of nature and probably would pack SO fast
Ryan narrating to creepy music and an eerie drawing: “I thought it could be human, but it shouldn’t be standing upright-“ UA-cam ad:” Colgate optic white, remove ten years of stains”
I'm a terrible audience for ghost stories. My immediate thoughts were: where did a Mormon kid in Idaho get a powerful enough camera that its battery could last a week, it could take pics every 2 seconds and not run out of memory space, and it was weather proof?! Oh and also have a good low light function?? I don't even think NatGeo photographers have cameras like that!
I'm more surprised that the technology could be That advanced that the camera and the speakers last for nearly a week. Also, don't speakers require a cable/wired connection to a plug point? Even if they don't, the battery wouldn't last a week. Keeping in mind the writer is older now, I can best guess this occurrence to the late 2000s so the technology isn't that developed. Not to be the party pooper but yeahh.
I don't think you understand how important hunting is in Idaho. Question the technology, but not the access to equipment. Lots of money can be spent on sophisticated equipment. In fact, the more successful the farmer the more likely they could afford and use such equipment. Do you realize how much it costs to maintain a farm? It takes a lot of money and some (not all) are well off.
@@n.d.m.515 You are very right and thank you for bringing that up, but that isn't the only way to live comfortably in Idaho, but it does play a larger role in the population in Idaho.
It'll be creepier if it was just described as a heavily clothed normal man, or just someone in nondescript clothing, instead of a monster. Cause people are weird, and there are a lot of them, and sometimes you'd find them in the woods doing weird things. So now, you have that creepy realisation that this dude was never caught, and that he's still out there in the woods.
@@kitkatboard that’s why true crime appeals more to me than anything supernatural. There’s just something about knowing that a human was capable of horrible/terrific things that hits harder. Even tho im commenting this on a video about a monster killing animals in escalation and posing for the camera.
Humans are underrated SCP material, I assure y'all we're way more evil than this monster there, we eat rabbits, dogs, cats and we eat our own kind and and also starve collectively because of a paper that is perceived to have value
I loved this one, but my suspension of disbelief kind of fizzled out when they started describing the monster vlogging its kills. The idea of a big lanky woods horror gleefully arranging a bunch of dead animals so it looks like they're walking and then taking a picture of it is just too funny
Damn, that photo is blurry, now I need to do it again *deletes it* oh no, I don´t look nearly spooky enough in this one *deletes it* _IT´S BLURRY AGAIN_ *507 photos later* finally, a good spooky photo
It almost feels like it would have been better if it turned out to be a human doing all of this while avoiding being caught on the camera themselves, since that would then imply they were smart enough to avoid detection and could go back to pretending to be a safe sane part of society after and nobody would be able to link them to this clear sign of a monster
I find it funny how Ryan and Shane were talking about Shane extending his limbs to scare the lion, and then the description of the thing has extended limbs
So did mom ever come back? Honestly, the scariest thing about this is how freaked out Ryan looked while reading it. He looked like he was going to pee his pants.
We measure how scary things are in Bergara units. You don't bother reading Halloween stories that don't register on the Bergara scale. Yeah, that's just Ryan.
It’s amazing that no matter how many times I watch this episode, the scream at 5:18 sends a chill down my spine and sets off every instinct that says something isn’t right
this genuinely had me on edge until the "humanoid figure" was introduced. the idea of it being something undoubtedly real and breathing causing all the strife is a lot more scary than some sort of monster in my opinion lmao
Yeah, I thought maybe various people passing by had heard the recordings and decided to check it out, but were attacked by a pack of lions or whatever wild animals stalked during that time, that also got attracted by the recordings. That would explain the different pitched screams. But it was an unsettling story nontheless.
if this story was have been from 200 years ago then I can only imagine after this incident people be like gathered in the mob with fire torches and pitchforks marching down the creek to hunt the monster down. p.s.- I think the monster could've been a rake
No I'm not scared of what lives in the woods bc I know what lives there, a year old black bear that likes to use our tree like a hammock bc he's a bit too tubby to climb up the tree
Thanks for the heads up! You mean about the rabbits being a trap for lions or does it involve the lost dog? I'm about halfway through and honestly don't fancy hearing anything about the dog too.
@@r.k.rowe1999 nah, I got distracted by some stuff right around when she spots the camera, just on time it seems😂 well at least now I know what I'm getting myself into. Thanks for replying!
hi! sorry for the late reply, i see someone else kindly answered though😊 in case you still haven't finished it, it was around the 16 minute mark i think, it was a very brief description about several different kinds of animal being hurt, it's not too detailed but a bit gory. just thought to give a heads-up just in case👍
I always remember Jenny Nicholson’s spot-on criticism of most creepy-pastas, in that the majority of the story is creepy and ambiguous but then towards the end it turns into something actively unbelievable and shows the monster and ruins any kind of realism. If they had just finished the story at ‘I wish I hadn’t looked’ or even earlier with the boy found a load of scalped rabbits dead by the creek’ it would have been fine
I think you can either have the scalped animals or a creature, not both. I was thinking the entire time that someone (or something) was killing kids out there, so the scalped animals were kind of a downgrade from what I expected. And scalped animals are far creepier when we find out that someone like the lovely ol' lady down the street who always gives the protagonist cookies did it. Or maybe there´s a wholeass group of creeps. Something to shake up their _community-centered_ town. Not "oh, there´s a monster out there and for some reason it does ritual animal murder but does not kill the little defenseless boy". Payton wasn´t even injured. It should´ve at least been something like in The Girl who loved Tom Gordon where the creature appears to be an actual animal. So the boy runs out the forest, his shirt scratched to hell, bleeding all over himself and there´s some predator animal on his trail. Dad shoots it and it dies/ runs off. They think "oh, just a bear, but we should probably go kill it/get back the camera". Then they find the animal carcasses with bear footprints or the bear is on the photos, something like that.
someone else suggested they could’ve kept in the photographs of the scalped animals and just not included the monster and it still would’ve been better. i agree with that tbh
*The Narrator:* "There was a lion who would hang out near the creek in Idaho." *Me, picturing a fully maned and majestic African lion:* "What the f*ck???" *Shane:* "Oh, yeah, a mountain lion." *Me, a person who grew up in the Rocky Mountains, suddenly remembering that, duh, **_mountain_** lions:* "oh." (Also, though, I'm kinda bummed that it wasn't a "real" lion.)
@@rt616 they just looked like a pair of underwear to me for a second and apon further inspection I'm pretty sure there just pajama pants there's no need to yell at me
I've been on an _Are You Scared_ marathon and I'm slowly getting more paranoid. However, Shane makes me less scared because he isn't scared. Shane probably scares demons anyway.
Creepypasta writers literally have to pretend all their stories are true, lmao. As in it's a rule, they won't put your story on the site if you break the illusion. It makes things fun, really! (Edit: The same is true for r/nosleep. "Remember: everything is true here, even if it's not." - the sub's guidelines.)
@@horse101lv apparently that area has some native folks. this could very well be a story about a sk//nwalker. even if you don’t believe in them, they’re very real for natives and most people around there
@@horse101lv You can't say that someone elses culture myths, and cryptoid aren't real. That's very insulting to those people who have ACTUALLY had experienced a skinwalker encounter etc.
@@horse101lv Oh ok, seems to me like this person is talking about a skinwalker which I very much believe in so I might've taken your statement the wrong way. But I agree on the terms that this is more likely to be a creepypasta.
Me, an Idahoan: "Omg they did a story about Idaho!" Shane: "It's Idaho, they're hicks!" We're really only known for being hicks and loving potatoes huh
Plot twist: I think whatever was leaving those scalped animals was just trying to offer a sacrifice so no one ever leaves that horrible recording on his lawn again.
The minute the rabbit recording was said to sound like a screaming child, immediately I thinking that the twits is gonna be that it was an actual child dying for like a week.
Man I remember reading this story in my early teenagers years when I was first exploring creepypasta, for some reason it's one that's always stuck with me.
1. Rabbits do cry like that. Ive never heard one irl but I imagine its heartwrenching 2. This is probably isn't 100% true, maybe they did try to capture pictures of a puma but otherwise I don't believe it. 3. The writing is really good though. I love the story 4. The art is incredible as alwayd
@@ava_marie_v I've seen some videos of rabbits getting scared or a wild rabbit getting caught and them screaming. I hate it. I can't imagine how bad it must have been having your pet sounding like that. Also speaking of pumas/mountain lions they also sound terrifying. They can scream/roar like in this story. People have described it sounding like a woman's scream.
@@ava_marie_v Oof I don't live near any lion populations so luckily I don't have hear that horror in the night. The worst is just the birds. Hawks sound like nails on a chalkboard sometimes
Yeah, it's LOUD- the rabbit screams. Incredibly loud for an otherwise silent animal. I volunteer at a shelter that had some rabbits a while back. One of them screamed and it interrupted I and another volunteer's conversation from halfway across the shelter grounds. Raced over knowing that was bad and the poor thing was having a seizure.
@@snazz5318 yes really. A few miles from where this takes place there was a couple who had and tried to raise lion and tiger crossbreeds. These Lygers started to get out of hand and had to be killed by police and animal control. There are questions that have never been answered about the place and with extreme luck no one was seriously hurt or killed. Local legend has it that they never got all the animals and a few still roam around. Even deeper legends say they are magical.
Ngl it was getting kind of tense up until the 'humanoid figure's part. What makes it worse for this one is that they'd already set up the whole rabbit screams sound like child screams and then copped out with the spooky figure thing. 7/10: They had the set up right, it's just the way they resolved it felt really unsatisfactory and cheap(not in a good way).
7 months late but also strongly agree, it could have been a real gut punch emotionally too talking about peyton’s death (even makes sense as to why the narrator’s family won’t talk about it anymore) but instead they tried to subvert your expectations and literally all of the tension and fear disappeared instantly
@@simonh.1449 I think the problem with that is, why wouldn’t Peyton’s family be looking for him? If they made it Peyton’s screams the last night, like he went early and the creature got him, then that’d be okay I suppose
@@X-tinction the names are pretty interchangeable, cougar, puma, and mountain lion are all things they get called frequently in just about every state. The only name I hear them called that’s very localized is panther in the some of the southeast
The first half I was like “yo YALL just got a crow or mockingbird that has decided to repeat the recording sound it heard” but then YALL came in hot with the monster-demon
Not to be that person, but it really sucks that folks take creatures/curses that are important to different Native American faiths and just lump them in with other monsters and joke around about them.
@@ParadoxGavel my b wasn’t trying to be insensitive but I 100% see where you’re coming from, is there a more culturally sensitive term you know of to describe this kinds of monster? I only used wendigo because that’s the term I’m Familiar with for this kind of monster.
A tip to watcher from the watcher; At the end of the video, you should both give your prediction as to wether it's real or not, and explain why you believe so, THEN - see if it's real or not.
@@samosaurus_ I know I'm not saying they have to get it bang on, but it would add something. It feels like a rushed ending sometimes, after the story is read they just go straight to the conclusion, don't discuss the story without knowing the result
SHSGSHSHAH I WASNT LOOKING AND I HEAR RYAN SAY “THE NOISE OF A DYING RABBIT” AND THEN GO SILENT AND THEN JUST: “I WANT MY BABY BACK BABY BACK BABY BACK” IT WAS A CHILI’S COMMERCIAL IM CRYING
Imagine hearing someones brutal screams through the wind as they're dying. That's very unsettling, you want to help and find out where the screams are coming from but you wont know bc its all in the wind :(
That’s the thing though, the story literally says there WAS NO wind. They could have done literally anything and just never did I love the story, I’m just frustrated with the characters behavior!!! Tell someone!
y’all that thing probably wasn’t even killing the animals to eat them, cause it only removed the ears and some scalp parts. It was killing to terrify the humans, and likely knew that the camera was the community’s, which is honestly what scares me more
It just wanted the mortals to leave it alone, so it chose to make them suffer for their years of bothering it. It they’re too terrified to go outside ever again, it can finally live in peace once more.
I went to a haunted house last week and i just kept going through the whole thing thinking about “what would shane do” and basically it made the whole experience so much funnier because i was making little jokes to myself and got to watch my friends flip their shit
Dude, when I did my first haunted house and I just smiled through the house even said hi to the scared actor while my two siblings just freaking out and one of my siblings friends just walk through like it's was a garden. XD
As somebody who used to live in a house that was in the clearing of a forest, sleeping was so insanely difficult because you’d always hear and see the weirdest ass shit
So my family hunts and stuff. You play recordings of struggling rabbits/fauns/etc to lure in animals. Specifically, my family hunts coyotes since they’re overpopulated. The scariest part other than hunting a pack animal that has recorded humans kills is sitting in the pitch black listening to screaming on a speaker.
"Are You Scared of What Lives in the Woods?" Me looking around my cabin that's deep in the woods: uhh, like me? I don't know how too break it too you city folk, but the ciry is far scarier and more dangerous than the woods lol. smh i swear you people never go outside.
I have a neighbor who used to (he may still do it and I wouldn’t know, since we’re far apart) who’d do that. We both live in the woods. What does that mean? 👀
@@greatvalue_ethelcain Well, you have two options: 1). Face him in an impromptu banjo duel to assert your dominance 2). Start running. Just run. As fast as you can.
ngl I thought this gonna end with peyton going missing cause he went down during one of the nights and got mauled by the lion and no one would have check because the speaker sounded the way it did, so they wouldn't realise the screams were peytons
Yeah I thought for sure the "dying rabbits sound like small children crying" and "Peyton couldn't wait" things were Chekhov's guns, but it seems they either went nowhere, or were red herrings. But red herrings are supposed to bring an even more interesting twist, not "random cryptid in the woods".
I really thought Payton was dead bc he wasn't mentioned for so long after it mentioned him being so excited to go see how everything's doing.. I agree with the other comment that mentions it would've been a much creepier and revolting but sad story if it was Payton who was dead there. And that you only found out how through the cameras photos instead.
1. the ghoul boys just never miss😌😌 2. the rabbit scream scared the ABSOLUTE shit out of 3. why would national geographic tell a kid to “set up bait” ???
I’m sure someone else said this but I think the thing mimicked the recording. That’s why it changed, warped, became irregular. It lured in predators. My one question is the thing’s motivation. It didn’t eat the animals, it just took their scalps. Why the scalps?
I was wondering that too.. such a specific detail, it doesn’t make sense.. people were saying maybe it was a Wendigo but a Wendigo would’ve ate the bodies, after all it’s known to be a creature with undying and uncontrollable hunger..
I think the noise is from the animals - their last moments when their ears and part of their scalp got torn off.. lions and dogs n cats would have different tones and notes of cry... thinking of this just gives me chills....
@@konpeitojellie No. Not everything is a Wendigo or a Skinwalker. Sometimes things are left to the imagination because the unknown is scary. So tired of people thinking they're knowledgeable about Native American folklore because they've watched some Creepypasta videos or played Until Dawn.
@@LinSama0717 going to edit this to make sense.. okay first off, are wendigos not creatures of dying and uncontrollable hunger? second, I was agreeing with you, I was supporting the claim that it wasn’t a wendigo. And third off when did I say I was knowledgeable about anything?? I was just questioning how it could’ve been a wendigo when they’re KNOWN for their hunger, and the bodies weren’t eaten so it being a wendigo is questionable
this is the first one i couldnt tell if it was going to be real or not til the end! i sorta wish they left out the monster and just said it was the scalped animals. feel like that'd somehow be creepier. this was my favourite one so far tho!!
This is still pretty creepy imo. The fact that the monster was only caught on a camera makes it more mysterious then if the narrator saw it, it’s scary to think it literally could be anywhere in the open fields or in secluded creeks
As soon as they started talking about a recording sound on loop, and especially when they mentioned hearing it back but all choppy I knew it was a skinwalker story. Reminds me of that one story in particular from the Search and Rescue Woods guy
@@lilyflower2792 i don’t know about dying, but they do scream similary when they are in distress (my bunny got really scared once and he scream like this). People say that they do scream when they die, so I guess. It was pretty disturbing for me anyway 🤷🏻♀️

I really thought a child dying letting out a scream as thin and high-pitched as the rabbit as it has stressed several times on the dying rabbit's child-like scream sound...quite a waste not to jump at that build-up and interpret it as a true crime story with murderers using wild animals as disguise to prey on minority
It was a good story but my least favorite and least scary of the series

Its a creepy pasta based on a *true* story, written by an anonymous user.
The description and word choices were top notch and therefore led me to believe that this was written by an actual writer, not some rando desperate to share their truth.
I live in a very similar place
idk what it was but some parts made it pretty obvious that it was a fake story. I wont deny that the writing is really good tho
The artist who make the illustrations for each episode, is really talented! It really shows emotion. I love it, yet, I'm terrified.

This is exactly the comment I needed rn
Bro, I had a pet rabbit growing up, and she lived to the good, ripe old age of 12 years, but the night she died fucked me up bad. I held her as she passed, and the description in this story of how rabbits sound when they die is right on the money. That was three years ago, but it still messes me up to this day and makes me panic when I hear any noise that sounds like it (luckily I managed to make it through this video, mostly thanks to Shane lmao). Rip Early, you were the best bunny a kid could ever have and I hope wherever you are there’s plenty of hay and nanners
Same. I had my pet rabbit die right in my arms and it was honestly kind of traumatizing. The sound that rabbits make when they die is awful. Especially because they're basically silent and then they just scream
My pet rabbit Pearl also died in my arms when I was very young (about 6 yr old) and to this day, 18 years later, I can still remember her awful screech and how horrible it was for me to feel her last breath in my hands 💔
sadly had this exact same experience. My rabbit buttercup died in my arms- and the scream he made was frankly way worse than the recording. It's awful- an animal screaming as it dies (clear fear in their eyes as they look at you and you can do nothing to help as they screech). Especially when bunnies are pretty much silent .As a kid I didn't even know a bunny was capable of making much noise. So the noise sticks with you even more because of them screaming as they die. But-Imagine seeing anyone screaming in pain/fear and then just immediately passing. It happened like 11+ years ago and the scream still is burned in my memory.
My rabbit died a few days ago, on Christmas morning. my room feels really empty without him, but at the very least he went in the least painful way possible. He didn’t or show any signs of pain and was responsive, honestly I was and still am shocked he went so suddenly (only 2 days after he stopped eating) because I was almost certain he was just sick and wasn’t dying..
My rabbit was killed by something one night before 2 years. I kept him in my garden since he did not like to be in a cage and that was for like 1-2 years and nothing happened to him. My theory is that polecat killed him since these are the only one that can kill it in my region and go through the fence + there was broken raw egg in the garden so it probably tried to get from neightbours's chickens something to eat but stumbled on my rabbit. I never heard him screaming but still I will miss him always.
maybe this long woodland friend was just doing what cats do and bringing his new little human pals some nice snacks that he found
he even smiled in his little selfie !! dude was proud of his gifts leave him alone
yeah I agree
He do be livin his best life 👁️👄👁️

But most of those snacks WERE cats.

tbh growing up next to a mountain forest just builds you different, when i was a kid i was on a field with my friends and we heard wolves howling close to us and we were like ugh i guess we should go, then imagine a group of 13 year olds just slowly picking their things up while sounds of hurried wind, wolves howling, and a couple birds just echoing all over the place and us so annoyed like yeah fine we going ok
To be fair, wolves do tend to avoid humans, so unless you were IN their territory or you were the only edible meat thing around you probably didn't need to like freak out about it or anything. Wolves aren't cuddly puppies but they also aren't mindless killing machines.
I also live next to a mountain forest. A few years ago I was taking a walk with my mom and little sister. At some point I noticed something grey moving between the trees. It was a wolf of course. We were just looking at each other for a few moments and then he turned around and disappeared back into the trees.

I'm a terrible audience for ghost stories. My immediate thoughts were: where did a Mormon kid in Idaho get a powerful enough camera that its battery could last a week, it could take pics every 2 seconds and not run out of memory space, and it was weather proof?! Oh and also have a good low light function?? I don't even think NatGeo photographers have cameras like that!
I'm more surprised that the technology could be That advanced that the camera and the speakers last for nearly a week. Also, don't speakers require a cable/wired connection to a plug point? Even if they don't, the battery wouldn't last a week. Keeping in mind the writer is older now, I can best guess this occurrence to the late 2000s so the technology isn't that developed. Not to be the party pooper but yeahh.
We're not all poor in Idaho, some of us have good homes and make good money.
There are best buys here, but yeah, the tech seems too good to be true
I don't think you understand how important hunting is in Idaho. Question the technology, but not the access to equipment. Lots of money can be spent on sophisticated equipment. In fact, the more successful the farmer the more likely they could afford and use such equipment. Do you realize how much it costs to maintain a farm? It takes a lot of money and some (not all) are well off.

It'll be creepier if it was just described as a heavily clothed normal man, or just someone in nondescript clothing, instead of a monster.
Cause people are weird, and there are a lot of them, and sometimes you'd find them in the woods doing weird things.
So now, you have that creepy realisation that this dude was never caught, and that he's still out there in the woods.
People underestimate how scary the fact that you're not even safe from your own species is
@@kitkatboard that’s why true crime appeals more to me than anything supernatural. There’s just something about knowing that a human was capable of horrible/terrific things that hits harder.

Exactly, like the Russian sleep experiment story should end with them opening the chamber the first time
It almost feels like it would have been better if it turned out to be a human doing all of this while avoiding being caught on the camera themselves, since that would then imply they were smart enough to avoid detection and could go back to pretending to be a safe sane part of society after and nobody would be able to link them to this clear sign of a monster
The monster: This one is gonna blow up on instagram for sure!
I think the intention was to change the fright to “how does that thing know how to use a camera?”
I find it funny how Ryan and Shane were talking about Shane extending his limbs to scare the lion, and then the description of the thing has extended limbs
Coincidence? I don't think so... Lmao

this genuinely had me on edge until the "humanoid figure" was introduced. the idea of it being something undoubtedly real and breathing causing all the strife is a lot more scary than some sort of monster in my opinion lmao

YES. I had to literally turn my phone off because I got so creeped out. Whoever sees the illustrations is REALLY good.
Yeah, I thought maybe various people passing by had heard the recordings and decided to check it out, but were attacked by a pack of lions or whatever wild animals stalked during that time, that also got attracted by the recordings. That would explain the different pitched screams. But it was an unsettling story nontheless.
I think it would have been a little creepier if it was an actual person doing the things. The "humanoid figure" kinda threw me out of the story
if this story was have been from 200 years ago then I can only imagine after this incident people be like gathered in the mob with fire torches and pitchforks marching down the creek to hunt the monster down.

Wish I read the comments before the video insted of after, I have a pet rabbit and I really didn't want to hear the screams
I always remember Jenny Nicholson’s spot-on criticism of most creepy-pastas, in that the majority of the story is creepy and ambiguous but then towards the end it turns into something actively unbelievable and shows the monster and ruins any kind of realism. If they had just finished the story at ‘I wish I hadn’t looked’ or even earlier with the boy found a load of scalped rabbits dead by the creek’ it would have been fine
I like monsters tho
Instead of a monster doing this if a human did it would have been that much more terrifying
I think you can either have the scalped animals or a creature, not both. I was thinking the entire time that someone (or something) was killing kids out there, so the scalped animals were kind of a downgrade from what I expected. And scalped animals are far creepier when we find out that someone like the lovely ol' lady down the street who always gives the protagonist cookies did it. Or maybe there´s a wholeass group of creeps. Something to shake up their _community-centered_ town.
Not "oh, there´s a monster out there and for some reason it does ritual animal murder but does not kill the little defenseless boy". Payton wasn´t even injured.
It should´ve at least been something like in The Girl who loved Tom Gordon where the creature appears to be an actual animal. So the boy runs out the forest, his shirt scratched to hell, bleeding all over himself and there´s some predator animal on his trail. Dad shoots it and it dies/ runs off. They think "oh, just a bear, but we should probably go kill it/get back the camera". Then they find the animal carcasses with bear footprints or the bear is on the photos, something like that.
someone else suggested they could’ve kept in the photographs of the scalped animals and just not included the monster and it still would’ve been better. i agree with that tbh

To be honest, there are stories of Lygers ( true animals) that are said to have escaped from a real place near where this story took place.

@@snazz5318 yes really. A few miles from where this takes place there was a couple who had and tried to raise lion and tiger crossbreeds. These Lygers started to get out of hand and had to be killed by police and animal control. There are questions that have never been answered about the place and with extreme luck no one was seriously hurt or killed. Local legend has it that they never got all the animals and a few still roam around. Even deeper legends say they are magical.
Ngl it was getting kind of tense up until the 'humanoid figure's part. What makes it worse for this one is that they'd already set up the whole rabbit screams sound like child screams and then copped out with the spooky figure thing.
7/10: They had the set up right, it's just the way they resolved it felt really unsatisfactory and cheap(not in a good way).
7 months late but also strongly agree, it could have been a real gut punch emotionally too talking about peyton’s death (even makes sense as to why the narrator’s family won’t talk about it anymore) but instead they tried to subvert your expectations and literally all of the tension and fear disappeared instantly

*me, someone who lives in a concrete jungle* : um ok.
y’all that thing probably wasn’t even killing the animals to eat them, cause it only removed the ears and some scalp parts. It was killing to terrify the humans, and likely knew that the camera was the community’s, which is honestly what scares me more
people are saying it was eating the bodies?
Makes me think the "thing" was actually an edgy teenager who was into occult shit for giggles
It just wanted the mortals to leave it alone, so it chose to make them suffer for their years of bothering it. It they’re too terrified to go outside ever again, it can finally live in peace once more.
I agree, good theory
Was probably just a skinwalker tbh
I went to a haunted house last week and i just kept going through the whole thing thinking about “what would shane do” and basically it made the whole experience so much funnier because i was making little jokes to myself and got to watch my friends flip their shit
Shane unknowingly teaching us how to cope with demons 😌✌🏻
Dude, when I did my first haunted house and I just smiled through the house even said hi to the scared actor while my two siblings just freaking out and one of my siblings friends just walk through like it's was a garden. XD
@@whytheheckarewedoinginhere1886 i said “hey nice mask!” to one of the guys just out of nowhere and they just raised their fake knife at me like-
As somebody who used to live in a house that was in the clearing of a forest, sleeping was so insanely difficult because you’d always hear and see the weirdest ass shit
ryan: what are you scared of
me: yes
LOL TRUE
Bump
why didn't Peyton send those photos to National Geographic They Would've Made The Front Cover For Sure!
why would they send pictures of dead animals to national geographic?
@@toomanysandwiches8665 makes sense 😳
@@toomanysandwiches8665 well they probably meant more like the unidentified creature that killed the animals
i lost it when shane said “MAW GOT ATE” 😂
Here's my question: Who on God's green earth is records the sounds of a rabbit dying?
Oh shit
*welcome to dark web*
Bait. Just like there are recordings of predators to scare birds and stuff
Scientists
So my family hunts and stuff. You play recordings of struggling rabbits/fauns/etc to lure in animals. Specifically, my family hunts coyotes since they’re overpopulated. The scariest part other than hunting a pack animal that has recorded humans kills is sitting in the pitch black listening to screaming on a speaker.
*"Are you scared of what lives in the woods?"*
Only if I hear banjos
"Are You Scared of What Lives in the Woods?"
Me looking around my cabin that's deep in the woods: uhh, like me?
I don't know how too break it too you city folk, but the ciry is far scarier and more dangerous than the woods lol.
smh i swear you people never go outside.
I have a neighbor who used to (he may still do it and I wouldn’t know, since we’re far apart) who’d do that. We both live in the woods. What does that mean? 👀
@@greatvalue_ethelcain Well, you have two options:
1). Face him in an impromptu banjo duel to assert your dominance
2). Start running. Just run. As fast as you can.
@@spacedog12345 so... I just heard battle of the banjos and it's your fault
@@letigra86 Hey, now you know what to watch out for IRL; you're welcome. 😏
This series scares the crap outta me, and I love it more than literally anything else on UA-cam tbh
Wait really
You get scared from these?
@@kylemckinney820 Oh yeah, terrified lol
Yes these are really fun but I wish they increase the frequency from once a week to like two times a week, I enjoy these videos a lot ❤️🥺
ngl I thought this gonna end with peyton going missing cause he went down during one of the nights and got mauled by the lion and no one would have check because the speaker sounded the way it did, so they wouldn't realise the screams were peytons
Would’ve been a better story
Yeah I thought for sure the "dying rabbits sound like small children crying" and "Peyton couldn't wait" things were Chekhov's guns, but it seems they either went nowhere, or were red herrings. But red herrings are supposed to bring an even more interesting twist, not "random cryptid in the woods".
I really thought Payton was dead bc he wasn't mentioned for so long after it mentioned him being so excited to go see how everything's doing..
I agree with the other comment that mentions it would've been a much creepier and revolting but sad story if it was Payton who was dead there. And that you only found out how through the cameras photos instead.
“ArE yOu ScArEd” wtf is that question OFC IM SCARED
yep this genuinely kinda creeped me out,, I really felt sick,, creepypasta does this is to me I mean tho..
1. the ghoul boys just never miss😌😌
2. the rabbit scream scared the ABSOLUTE shit out of
3. why would national geographic tell a kid to “set up bait” ???
I’m sure someone else said this but I think the thing mimicked the recording. That’s why it changed, warped, became irregular. It lured in predators. My one question is the thing’s motivation. It didn’t eat the animals, it just took their scalps. Why the scalps?
I was wondering that too.. such a specific detail, it doesn’t make sense.. people were saying maybe it was a Wendigo but a Wendigo would’ve ate the bodies, after all it’s known to be a creature with undying and uncontrollable hunger..
I think the noise is from the animals - their last moments when their ears and part of their scalp got torn off.. lions and dogs n cats would have different tones and notes of cry... thinking of this just gives me chills....
@@konpeitojellie No. Not everything is a Wendigo or a Skinwalker. Sometimes things are left to the imagination because the unknown is scary.
So tired of people thinking they're knowledgeable about Native American folklore because they've watched some Creepypasta videos or played Until Dawn.
@@LinSama0717 going to edit this to make sense.. okay first off, are wendigos not creatures of dying and uncontrollable hunger? second, I was agreeing with you, I was supporting the claim that it wasn’t a wendigo. And third off when did I say I was knowledgeable about anything?? I was just questioning how it could’ve been a wendigo when they’re KNOWN for their hunger, and the bodies weren’t eaten so it being a wendigo is questionable
@@LinSama0717 also I was... supporting the claim that it WASNT a wendigo..?? what??
When Shane made himself big that was actually terrifying
this is the first one i couldnt tell if it was going to be real or not til the end! i sorta wish they left out the monster and just said it was the scalped animals. feel like that'd somehow be creepier. this was my favourite one so far tho!!
I totally agree. The mystery of what or who did that to the animals would have been much more frightening.
This is still pretty creepy imo. The fact that the monster was only caught on a camera makes it more mysterious then if the narrator saw it, it’s scary to think it literally could be anywhere in the open fields or in secluded creeks
@@englishatheart thats not how it works
@@englishatheart tho
@@englishatheart Why do you keep correcting people who don't write out the whole word? It's the internet. It doesn't really matter.
So far the answer to all these questions is "yes" before the video even starts.
Shane really does look like an axe murderer who lives in a cabin this episode
As soon as they started talking about a recording sound on loop, and especially when they mentioned hearing it back but all choppy I knew it was a skinwalker story. Reminds me of that one story in particular from the Search and Rescue Woods guy
Shane: "I've always wanted to live with hillbillies."
Also Shane: *completely looks like a hillbilly thinking he looks like a hipster*
He is a hip billy
@@misterel5548 u are a genius
A hickster
@@misterel5548 Petition to only refer to Shane as a hipbilly?
In case you were wondering: this is so much worse to listen to when you live near that area
It’s kind of jacked up that the dad placed more concern on upsetting another kid than his own daughter.
They're Mormons.
mormons just be like that
@@pineapplefrostyfruits9225 as an ex Mormon, yes, confirmed.
Out of alll the ones so far, this one was the most terrifying. The sound effects especially made it scarier.
me, a rabbit owner sees the title “rabbits in the creek”: *visibly disturbed already*
I was like "I love my rabbits, but I also love the ghoul boys. *What should I do?* "
Is that really what a dying rabbit sounds like? Or is that just some random recording they keep playing the background??
@@lilyflower2792 i don’t know about dying, but they do scream similary when they are in distress (my bunny got really scared once and he scream like this). People say that they do scream when they die, so I guess. It was pretty disturbing for me anyway 🤷🏻♀️
Me, someone who's area has a lot of hunters: lmao sounds like an asshole neighbor.
I'm not joking when I say that that dead gutted animals lined up in peoples yards isn't too uncommon of a sight round here.
@@thegrandnil764 Omg that's awful
"Are you scared?"
*Me holding my cats close* ....yes....
Yeah this one got me because of the screaming sound effects, freaking haunting.
@@RezTKF I keep seeing your comments
Cats will protect you from the demons.
dude these are seriously one of the best series the ghoul boys do
Thanks for all the likes
15:57 I’m imagining that’s this creature’s obligatory-man-holding-a-fish picture on their dating profile 😂
