48 hours alone - the most scared I’ve ever been while camping.

- CAN'T BELIEVE I ACCIDENTALLY CAMPED HERE! Most scared I've ever been in a record breaking woodland.
After the mammoth social event that is Christmas I headed into a local woodland for some much needed solitude. Normally I don't mind camping alone, even as a solo female wild camper not much scares me, but this woodland was different.
I didn't know it when I first arrived, but this screaming wood, part of Derring wood near Pluckley in Kent, holds the world record for being the most haunted place in the UK.
It wasn't long before I started to find out why this place has a reputation!
Still, I do my best to spend 48 hours solo camping there, have a look around and even cook steak and chips round the fire, find out if after my dinner I had the courage to stay....

I live about 50 meters from a forest, right beneath the ruins of a medieval castle with a very eerie history. There are also tales of a lady in white, although I'm not really spooked by paranormal stories. I love taking overnight trips there.
One night, around 2 am, I was woken by my dog, who was going absolutely bonkers. I heard something screaming-it sounded like a woman or a child being murdered, with absolutely crazy screams. Of course, I was scared shitless, but I decided to check it out and possibly help. I only had a knife with me for protection.
When I arrived at the source of the sound, I realized it was a deer caught in a fence. As soon as the deer realized I was there to help, it stopped screaming and looked at me peacefully while I worked to free its leg. My dog also stopped barking, and in that moment, everything felt so peaceful.
In the end, I managed to free the deer, and it calmly walked away. What started as a terrifying situation turned into one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
That’s great. Thanks for sharing, you’re a good man.
You live under a castle?
@@hermannthefisherman2960The castle is most likely elevated above the forest, up a hill or something.
Such a beautiful story, thanks for sharing 😊
@@pseud53 yup, this :)
Just a tip, coming from an old soldier. When you solo camp in a forest take some 2mm para cord and run it around the trees surrounding your site, do this at knee height. If needs be attach some tins to rattle if the cord is disturbed. Great video.
Great tip ,
A ghost would float over it though 😂😂😬
Lucy B good answer, maybe it would pass through a ghost 😂
@@LuLuBeeBah 😂😂
Being an old soldier myself the para cord around the perimeter were my thoughts too
The fact that you stayed a second night is totally insane
I think your comment explains it all. Who on earth would be so terrified during the first night to actually stay one more night? I train Krav Maga and I definitely would not. I think this is a good video, with little bit of drama incorporated.

white ppl are crazy.. love them for this LOL
🇦🇺I will never forget the night myself & another girl camping in the bush, we're awoken by footsteps, then the sound of someone rifling through our stuff! I got out of the tent, ready to confront the "serial killer" & the horrific sight which I beheld was a possum, perched on top of the esky with its tiny fingers trying to prize open the lid😅
Damn you're really brave to get up from tent and be ready to face the thing. Most ppl would not be that brave, not even most men
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those pesky things... Many years ago I was married to a young doctor doing a lot of night shifts and leaving me alone at night in our new home. We got this little house in a quaint neighborhood and one night I started hearing noises on the stairs up to our bedroom... OMG did that scare the living daylights out of me. I kept hearing these creeping noises but nothing ever appeared.. Turns out some racoons had chewed their way into the walls through our roof... OMG! That's what I was hearing. Little bandits... LOL.
@@raizab.1837 lol
Most of the time I sleep under a basha in the open, one night I felt something nudge my foot so I slowly grabbed my knife which was under my blanket trying to look asleep still because it scared shitless and then again it started nudging my foot a couple more time, I sat up quickly and it was a bloody big wombat😂.
Definitely sounded like footsteps. The fact they just stop is the creepiest past, like they just stopped and stared at you.
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺

The cameraman having a piss. He stops because he thinks somebody has heard him, and about to give him a bollocking and call him a lazy buggar😮😮
@@doves9204You did make a good point when it comes to the sound editing, but I just want to say that people can be strangely calm in the face of danger, or it can be the freeze in the flight, fight or freeze response. Her reaction seems genuine to me, she’s in a hammock and it will take a few seconds to unzip it and get out, she would be noticed before she can defend herself or run away, staying in the hammock is the best option for her in that situation
Don't put yourself in these type ofsituations
I would've stayed in the van the 2nd night. The footsteps were unnerving to say the least. Loved hearing the owls. My favorite sound at night when camping. The steak dinner looked so good. Enjoyed the video.
Yep, the van for me as well on night #2.
it's amazing how the thin fabric wall of a tent can actually make you feel safer. i've felt this many times. too scared to get out and look. You're quite brave to have stayed the second night!
I will say, though - the footsteps did not come along with a light. so if it WAS a living human... did they have nightvision? not something most nefarious opportunistic people would carry. It's odd that there was no light. Even if they know the woods super well, if there's no moonlight it'd be difficult to get around and walk with such assured footsteps. Do you have large toads there? I once had a toad crash through my campsite and was CERTAIN it was a BEAR! haha
I personally think this was staged but I fish at night in the desert and don't use a light due to it spooking the fish in the shallow canals. Once your eyes adjust to the dark you don't really need a flashlight. I can bait a hook and have even tied on a few hooks in the dark. It also depends on the moon that night. A little moon light goes a long way.
an skin crawler does not have any problems in walking in pitch black darkness , and it will look like an mentally ill disformed human while mimicing the voice of litle children in distress and such .. it might bin an skin crawler that walk around here there in the night
Tents only keep the small creepy crawlies out.
Very entertaining. Those noises really did sound like footsteps. The thought of someone wandering around your tent when you are sleeping is way more disturbing than the thought of ghosts. That tree stump with the face reminds me of when I was about 12 yrs old and my mate lived on the other side of the local park. To get home I had to go through that park. There was a narrow path with a tree stump on a hill which the path passed. At night that stump looked like someone crouching ready to pounce. It didn’t matter that I knew exactly what it was, I always legged it past that tree stump at night. Daft really. Anyway, great video and I can’t help wondering how Emily would have got on in those woods 😂 (I would have been bricking it).
Yeah I would have as well, I think Lou is crazy to have stayed a 2nd night
5 seconds on the food hitting the floor was one of the best rules of all time, I'm high while writing this but I love camping & the outdoors plus paranormal involvement, thanks for creating a fantastic video
The dark, in the woods, alone can sometimes play with your head - even for a seasoned camper/bushman. It's highly unlikely it was a human walking in the woods at night. After all, they would likely need a flashlight to see where they are walking especially considering your camp was not emitting light, or else they would be making far more noise than merely the sound of footsteps while they stumbled through the woods. You're much more likely to encounter trouble during the daylight.
Shiey goes on night hikes all the time to abandoned places, especially during his two trips into the chernobyl exclusion zone.
And yes when he got to Pripyat he heard tons of weird noises and footsteps everywhere. Why? Cause tons of explorers, aka stalkers explore the place on the daily, even during the night an entire group of stalkers stumbled into their abandoned hotel room.
There is an entire community of night hikers, some hiking with no torches and relying on moonlight.
Should also note that night vision exists.
The footsteps were not indicative of a wild animal, as they were repetitious and with rhythm, wild animals do not do this unless they are spooked and running away. Those were most definitely human footsteps and I believe you underestimate the ability for a human to navigate without light, as I do it in the forest all the time from the hours of 23:00 to 02:30
@@d.i.m.eproductions6925it sounds just like the skunks and raccoons we have here. I do security at night and often the footsteps I hear including right next to me are animals. Unless their was a homeless person who knows exactly her camp there is no way a human can walk through a dark camp even with moonlight. Open trails are hard enough as it is just by moonlight and unless you are walking a known trail or path you are going to crush, break and snap stuff.
@@Ollen1982 lmao imagine saying this to someone who literally works 12 hour shifts in and around forested regions
@@d.i.m.eproductions6925 same tho.
I don’t understand how people can not be alone enjoying their time, as you do, being alone is so relaxing 😊
I can’t believe you stayed there another night! Are you completely out of your mind?!
She really is crazy
😂😂
Makes me wanna go 😉
I agree!
Your bonkers but brave xx
That was without a doubt, bipedal footsteps. Whenever I solo camp in woodland, I have my knife and axe within reaching distance when I'm sleeping. You'd be amazed at the comfort and peace of mind and confidence that provides.
Get a cheap compound bow, you'd be amazed at how comfortable sleeping with one of them is knowing that your possible attacker is going to crap themselves 🤣
@@710gardens4 how do ya use a compound bow if someone tracks you in your sleep haha
@@dasmuss6174 well I sleep with mine next to me and if it's someone creeping like that, it ain't difficult to load a bow in a tent or a tarp(obviously if they came at you whilst sleeping, different matter, a good Bowie, machete or axe will suffice) , also you don't even need to have the arrow loaded properly, just pointed at the creep and they'll pants themselves. Your welcome
@@710gardens4 I’m an Aussie, I keep a boomerang beside me when I sleep
@@dasmuss6174 whatever makes you feel that bit safer in the wild
Damn, yes that def was footsteps. The most alarming part for me is that the steps stopped so you can assume the person was just standing there listening to you listening them.
It was the cameraman taking a leak. Come on…

@@garyurtiaga9426 hahahahaha😂😂😂you cheeky beggar, Gary😂😂😂.
Very cool, very British looking woods.. beautiful and you’re too funny! I think you actually calmed the woods by talking about their hauntingness😀
Wow, SO brave! I agree that it was a person, could even have been a local who saw you drive in, just messing with you. Animal steps have a 1-2 cadence, step-step, step-step, 4 legs. A person, unless hopping like a woodland Sprite, not, lol. That's a funny visual (add the tutu) for outside your tent at night, lol. For camping in spots like this, I'd suggest putting up an infrared camera, wide angle covering the camp. You could get some really cool shots of critters that wander into camp. Love to you both, and to the fur babies.
Yeah you could actually 😀
This is probably where night scopes are useful to give piece of mind.
I'm a wild camper, and plenty capable of handling myself......but I'm always wary of going solo in unknown areas. Can't believe you stuck it out for a second night! Worst experience I've ever had was just outside Stroud last year. Found myself a nice, secluded spot to settle down in the hammock and enjoy a couple of ales before bedtime. Got to about 11 at night and I suddenly found myself being stalked by a group of local weirdos......shining torches through the trees and making creepy screeching sounds.
Worst feeling in the world being alone in a hammock when there's someone walking around outside your camp.......I bailed and made my way back to the car for the night. Not worth getting into an altercation with a bunch of locals.
Stay safe out there..... X
Unbelievable . To think you’ve found yourself a nice spot only to be harassed by weirdos. They obviously know how vulnerable you are & play on it. It’s very cruel & I’m sure It’s this type of carry on that keeps ppl away from camping
@@b-dogs1038 Yeah, it felt like a West Country version of Deliverance! To be fair, that's the type of risk you have to accept when you're wild camping....
@@Dandroid5000 damn it. You’ll have to go even more secluded next time
F--- the weirdos. I am tired of them!
I so admire you. Thank you for taking us along in your adventures!!
I just came across your video! I really enjoyed it..the cord around camp with cans as suggested is a great idea! You made me laugh with last nights supper and tonight’s..on your shoe! Be careful..I suggest a little something to protect you. I am from America after all 😂😂😂
Well done Louise 😊 you should do a lot more of this and make it into a documentary 😅
Louise!!!! Definitely footsteps!!! I would have simply passed away. Terrifying. Emily is gonna be so cross with you!!!
I was like no way 🙅♂️
The foot steps were super creepy. They weren't heard the second night and it was raining - too wet and cold for a human to go prowling about? The total absence of sound that occurred was pretty weird, that seems paranormal.
Honestly footsteps in the .idle of the night art startling but it's usually just a homeless person looking for free gear laying about or kids trying to be scary. What really scares me is silence. The woods are always alive if you stay still but when it's the middle of the night and everything goes deathly quiet in a snap... that's what gets my heart going.
Screams in the woods are probably Muntjac deer... They sound terrifying, esp at night! I grew up next to a woodland in Essex.
I loved this! I’ve camped by myself a couple of times, and being a woman and then deep woods way away from anywhere (Montana) it definitely scared me. I hope you kept your knife near you by your bed, but don’t even want to imagine having to use it! Great job on filmography! I would love to see you do more scary encounters and more camping! You kicked ass! ✌
You may like to hear what Sarah from "Fit for adventure" has to say about noises in the woods at night,whilst camping. She eventually turns her emotions into rational thinking and that´s how she comfortably lives her adventures.
You definitely have got to do that for sure
I know this isn't a camping story but once when I was walking home from a friend's very early morning, I was freaking myself out about random attackers.
Then I talked to myself and said 'no one just waits around in a suburban street for someone to attack'
Two seconds later, right in front of me was a huge big balled man with one glove on staring at the ground and kind of walking in circles. He looked up at me and started walking towards me.
I bolted and he started running after me but my house was a block away and I got home first.
Point is, turning irrational fears into rational ones doesn't always work. There are creepy f*kers out there and your gut might be wrong 99% percent of the time.. but there's always that 1%
Defintely foot steps! Glad you're ok. Thanks for the great video :)
the amount of stories like this, thats there’s footsteps that just mysteriously stop in the middle of the night, could easily just be a hunter, an animal or simply you hearing things
Do hunters do it at night then?
@@conflictkid0x16 thought she said she could still shots after it got super dark because “my camera doesnt do it justice”
The ghosts like your playing

Gave you a peasant night sleep
And music is magical back in day they say it can calm sprits
Omg I wouldn't even have slept in those woods alone in my van, let alone that flimsy little hammock, & leaving your axe outside! 🤣 I was gobsmacked when you still stayed a 2nd night. Cudos to you Lou!! Great filming/editing as well 👌
I couldn’t believe she stayed another night 🤦🏻♀️
I thought that about the axe!
I would have been frightened to death and made my way home pretty quick
Well done Lou
That’s what I always say to anyone who’s feeling a bit scared camping after hearing noises around them,that whoever may be outside also has no idea who’s inside the tent and what their capabilities are or what weapons they may have
Unfortunately, that someone outside can do whatever they like & first. Ie. the axe left on the ground =unbelievable.
*what are you going to do if there is a genuine threat hanging about. Stay safe folks
@@b-dogs1038 such things are probably about a 1 in 100 chance of even happening. I like Adam and love his adventures but he really needs to chill with the paranoia. Nothing happened in this video apart from a car driving in the car park !! It seems to be a common theme with these “stealth campers” of UA-cam just now,dramatising situations as if they are actually under attack
@@gary_248 agreed. UA-camrs are running with this scary camping now. & you’re right, you’d be pretty unlucky to strike mischief out there. It’s just it’s in the back of your head 😒
@@b-dogs1038 watching scary movies and listening to horror stories can do wonders for the imagination when you’re in a dark place at night lol but some of these youtubers are either a bag of nerves or being dramatic for views
@@gary_248majority of the time camping, you're fine. Its the small chance you aren't. The scary stuff isnt the spirits and critters, its the psychopath outside your tent with a weapon.
Luckily we can arm ourselves here in the states against that threat.
You are very brave .
Another great vlog Lou. Have ever heard foxes at night, it sounds like someone screaming as they are being murdered. 😁
Bobcats & mountain lions scream like a woman being murdered. You want to run over to help them in the dark but it’s too terrifying.
Get a bear banger or keep a couple m80's in a ziploc bag...works on everything from squirrels to crackheads
Oh gosh you are so brave, think I'd have had a heart attack at those footsteps, definitely sounded human. I wished you'd had a wildlife camera out there so you could have seen the next day. Thankfully if it was a human, they didn't touch any of your stuff, especially that axe
I wish I was brave like you but I’m totally the opposite, I’ll live these adventures through you!
Hahaha brilliant. You had me laughing loads 😅😅. Im subscribed
You are simply amazing, friend. I'm at shock to see you alone, camping in the insecure place. I think it is the strong Marse in your horoscope, promoting you to such dangerous venture. Please, take care. 🌹
I think you are so fun. Made me laugh….just found your channel. What a treat
You got some balls of steel! I truly believe there are Woodwose on these woods. Basically the European version of a Bigfoot.
I'm with the others, you were crazy for staying a second night, and I'm glad you made it through.
Food for thought, when the woods/forest goes silent, it's a predator, most likely a Bigfoot. They also scream like what you heard. They also don't care whether you 'believe' in them or not. When someone is trespassing on their territory overnight, they will come and check you out. Which this one did.
YES! Those "gun shots" sounded like wood knocks, I heard calls also... though, those steps sounded, almost, to light.. you know what I mean?
@@johannasadventures3467 thank you for saying the gun shots sounded like wood knocks, because I thought the same.
most likely a bigfoot?? come on man....
The scariest thing that I heard here is that you like your steak well-done. Thats downright horrific
Wicked setup and amazing video, you’re braver than me! And when I saw the axe come out with the nice leather sheath I said ‘ohh she’s cool as f**k!’
It’s creepy enough walking through those woods during the day. We didn’t last that long before we turned around & went back to the car! There is a weird vibe there. I can’t believe you didn’t know though as it’s infamous 😅I’m sure it was for the best 😂
I didn't know that British Dinner is what I would make here..Great video, Thank you.
Part of the reason I switched to vehicle (and armed) camping was hearing some funky noises at night also. Knowing all that was between me and whatever it was was a ~1mm tick plastic layer made me rethink solo tent camping. You can do it, obviously, and _most of the time_ you have nothing to worry about. Now though, I worry about someone dropping a match in my gas tank, cutting my brake lines, or otherwise sabotaging my vehicle while I sleep.
I will admit, my first reaction was: why a hammock if you had a bed in the van? 😂
That says a lot about me lol
Also indicates she was not really that frightened, or she'd have bedded in the van with a locked door.
She knew her imagination was getting the best of her...likely a fox or deer. In the states we get bear, which sound just like big men stepping in the leaf layer.
If she has anything to really worry about stalking her...this would be found footage, because a hammock tent is a trap.
Wouldn’t want your nerve in my tooth 😥enjoyed watching from the safety of my sofa 👍🏴
Fantastic video. Well entertaining! Loved the ukulele tune . Great work 😊thanks
Idk if this is related to why the crows are chirping, but i just know that if birds make a bunch of warning calls, it means a predator is in the area.
The unmistakable cachunk cachunk of a Remington 870 would have worked wonders in this situation.
Definitely was footsteps you heard. I would not have stayed another night. Beautiful playing music.
You are one brave lady....I couldn't have stayed for another night! Love the video......from Roslyn in Queensland Australia :)
Brave or stupid?
nice to see this vid featured on GoosePimples and his compilation being reacted to by Caspersight, very spooky!
The Ojibwe natives up in northern ontario canada always say .. if you hear a crow at night thats a bad omen
I would never set up camp that far from my car!!!
I did enjoy your music.
Great tip below BUT I'd recommend the chord at angkle height. At knee height, there's a fair chance of an intruder catching it before the tins give warning. I've run trip wire in my past attached to flares. Secondly, when you are alerted by your early-warning system, what is your plan?
I live by an old Indian saying, "Never wonder away from the fire when the sun goes down." "Things" come out at night. I've camped alone but have always carried a serious blaster on me. There is no 911 out in the boondocks!
One story from north Texas. ua-cam.com/video/vMGqynLNdRA/v-deo.html
My daughter and I were primitive camping and heard footsteps. I peeked out the tent to see a man undressing about 20’ away at 2am. I yelled at her to grab the gun and the mace and he took off. We didn’t sleep all night.
When she picked the meatball up I laughed and thought "I'd do that " 😅
I'd love to learn what it's called her hammock tent and the things she used to cook with and learn about how to survive in the woods 🌲🌳🌲 I'd like to start acquiring things to go out with and go out back packing for a summer
The concept of having a world record for most known ghosts is so funny to me.
Like how do they qualify that? What stops anyone from winning it by just saying “oh yeah I’ve got one more than that here”
😂 When you found your Axe outside in the morning hahahaha . I was planning on going camping soon with my son up the woods by us I think I've just changed my mind LOL them footsteps absolutely scared sh** out of me the whole night was freaky as F, you was brave to stay another night whether it was the living or dead still scary either way that time of night in the woods ..
Nice acting! 😊 Looking forward to seeing more of your scripts 😮
A human would have a light. Animals, not so often. 😊 Animal footsteps.
Never ever let the fire get out let it smoke until sunrise when camping in the wild a lot of animals and insects and some unknown are afraid of fire and smoke that's what my grandpa told me he's a decorated veteran in world War 2 they fought guerilla war in the Philippines with Filipino aeta natives.
Your ✌️hammock✌️is just a burrito for wolves and bears 😂
Me and 3 mates spent the night in Pluckley years ago , very spooky village , we slept in the woods with no tent ( it was summer ) . We woke in the morning and one of my friends had his legs tied together with bailing twine .. tbh he prob did it himself but he always swore that he didnt
I love that hammock
the thing about flashlights in the dark is that, they show you whats going on only at the direction you're pointing at, while they show a potential enemy EXACTLY where you are, scary when you think about it
I was thinking the same thing…. I watch too many horror movies and I just imagine turning on that light and a face staring directly into mine.
Exactly, the thought of turning round in the dark and seeing a person's silhouette between the trees is not the ideal image
@@saxonmckenzie9260 bro i once went alone through the woods for a 2 hour-ish walk during the night, just for the thrill of it, couldnt see shit, if my phone died id have to sleep there lol At one point my mind started playig tricks on me making me see stuff that werent there or were just plane old trees. 10/10 would do it again.
@armoredlumberjack1999 That sounds mad but a lot of fun. I kinda like the feeling of being a bit scared, I'm going on a long distance solo hike soon so I'm sure I'll have some creepy nights in the wilderness
@@saxonmckenzie9260 I plan something like this myself too, still haven't gotten to doing it tho.
Once you spook yourself it's hard to settle back down. I never worry about the Dead. It's the living I would fear more. Great video.
That’s true but it’s just creepy
So true especially when living in a property where creepy stuff happens all the time!😱😂💜✌️
Did you not hear the article… it clearly says someone is doing stuff out there. Not the dead lol
right i would just holler back .they might not like.. it if i went after them
Nobody ever worries about the dead until they have an experience of their own that changes things forever. You really should worry about both, living and dead, being perfectly honest.
Being alone in the dark isn’t the problem..it’s when you’re not..😬
Yeah i would get some kind of motion sensors and Place them in a circle around camp and buy a cheap Irnv, no way i am staying in the middle of the Woods without night vision
Something that’s always scared me as an outdoor enthusiast is not monsters, or animals, or ghosts or anything like that. For one, two of those things don’t exist, and animals really aren’t a big deal to me. But what really scares me is encountering people. Not other hikers, but just random people out in the middle of nowhere that really shouldn’t be there. People are scary, and far more dangerous than any animal.
i feel bad for people who aren't allowed to carry firearms against apists and serial killers. i wonder how many people have died who would be alive if they had a gun.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 well we CAN carry a gun. It’s a hard process to get a pistol license in Canada and if you’re caught concealed carrying it’s big trouble, but if you really want to defend yourself you can. We can still purchase concealed carry holsters there, and hell you can just tuck it in your waistband while on a night walk if you’re worried. Point is, guns are definitely not a rarity in Canada and they’re actually extremely popular.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 admittedly I own a collapsible baton, a few replica firearms (1911, Glock, used to have an M4) and have a large Bowie knife all of which are technically illegal to own at my age but I got them anyways. If I ever knew I was going anywhere unsafe (say, nighttime walk through Downtown Eastside in Vancouver for whatever insane reason) I’d bring my baton. I would be charged if I was even caught carrying it, so it’d be worse if I used it in self defence. Gotta say tho I’d rather be hit with a fine than be stabbed or rped

I've seen a ghost with my very own eyes, I was returning a patient to his room when we saw it so I wasn't alone. I found it so hard to believe I went to his room the next day to ask him if we saw what I thought we saw and he said yes, and then went on to tell a visitor he had at the time of our run-in with a ghost.
Ghosts do exist.
My wife and I camped and during the evening definitely heard someone walking around the camp. I open the tent flap and turned on the flashlight…. Only to find at least a hundred field mice running terrified in all directions!! 😂
@retro mancer Ha! The following day we noticed all the rattlesnake warnings posted throughout camping area!
That's awesome - cracked me up. Thanks.
Skinwalkers and Dog men are out there😢
@@trickywily2823 Don't forget the Goatman
Where was Felix the cat when you needed him?😮
Camped in the Blue Mountain of Eastern Oregon decades ago. Heard noises outside the tent, Wife and kids in tent with me. I armed myself, slowly unzipped the tent fly and by the light of the dying fire was face to face with a full grown cougar about three feet away. I barked like a dog, he ran. I changed my drawers.
From the cougar's perspective. He basically just taking a stroll through his home. And in his "living room" he finds a crazy human barking like a dog. No wonder he ran!
Jokes aside, that sounds pretty scary.
Good to know as I was considering camping with just my daughter this summer. We'll sleep inside locked car.
I was at Minam campground heard a screech Owl for the 1st time at 3:00am
😂😂😂
A good story to tell your pals, but no doubt terrifying at the time!
You've definitely got nerves of steel. I'm a retired US Army combat veteran and I don't think I would have stayed a second night. I think you did the right thing by staying still. I hate to say it, but letting that intruder know you're a female probably wouldn't have helped. As fun as this video was and despite the fact that I knew you were going to be okay because the video was posted, I was still worried about you! Great job on filming and editing! More importantly, I'm glad you're safe.😄
Yeah I think she done best to stay still, I did say she should not have stayed the other night though
oh please....give me a break. confront your fears.
@@jedidiah5131 🤣🤣
I love this particular thread, lmao.
@@campervibe y'all are worried about her because she spent a second night and she was worried more about "not wasting good balls" then the wild animals and the bugs lol
My brother has a home in the woods in Maine. The woods are full of deer and moose. At night, I could hear the deer in the woods behind the house. They sounded like people walking through the leaf litter. Just like people. It was spooky even knowing they were deer.
BTW, I'm pretty sure axe murderers bring their own axes.
Good axe murderers bring their own..slacker axe murderers though..
@@millenni-lifecrisis2324
If you're going on a jolly night of axe murdering, you need a brand you can trust to do the job.
That's why the professionals recommend you bring your own. Nothing worse than being halfway through hacking up a corpse and your axe breaks.
Hahaha 😂 😂
Did Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov bring his own axe?
Sometimes an expert axe murderers favorite axe breaks mid hacking. Ref: Kids In The Hall “substitute axe” skit.
My uncle was camping in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the 90s with a friend and one night some guy walked through their camp. Didn’t announce his presence, didn’t make a noise; nothing. Just walked right through their camp without making eye contact and kept going. They got the hell out instantly.
That walker has likely been there a lonnnng time and forgot human courtesy
Woooow lol 😂 the level of zero fucks
He just walking through,settle.
Omg pure Blair Witch fears, that WAS footsteps for sure. Wtf. I would have been sleeping with the axe tied to my wrist 😳
You are so brilliant at filming all this, always so enjoyable to watch! Thank god you made it to morning too 🎉
I would have went back to my van and locked myself in till the morning
Blair Witch - I'll never enjoy the Woods the same way again.
whats most f creepy is its 3am and theres someone walking around in the dark in the middle of the forest
Similar acting skills too
Relax. It was all for clickbait
I camp armed with a pistol in the the Smokey Mountains and Cherokee National Forest in the US. I can tell you if I heard that in my camp, I would have been freaked out. The fact that you kept it together is a testament to your fortitude. That was one hundred percent two legged foot steps. No doubt about it. You can buy many devices that will alarm if someone walks in front of them. You should use them. They work great. Run all night off one battery and will wake you up if someone walks near it.
Do you have any recommendations please for female campers in the UK 🇬🇧 thanks 😊
What about the smokey mountains - Cades cove any information ?
@@joanpellillo2981 I have been to Cades cove and am aware of the missing people. Did not see anything unusual.
A loaded saw off and a massive dog with bad attitude would work for me.. not that id do that ! She is so brave to not shit herself..
She lives in a disarmed nation. I'm with you; no way I am camping in the wild without a sidearm.
I don't think any sounds in the woods would scare me as much as the sound of human footsteps. I've rarely been afraid when camping because I feel so much safer in the forest than around people. That said, just because a person IS out in the woods at night doesn't mean they have ill intent. I'm a birder, and I've gone on night hikes to go owling, for example, and that certainly seems like an ideal spot to be doing such a thing!
Or it could have been a ghost fan, going out to look for ghosts! If Ghost Hunters has been there, there're definitely ghost tourists. Haha.
frrr! the only scary encounter you'll never expecting to while youre outhere in a middle of nowhere for camping/hiking is another human.
Yeah I'm sure that guy walking near my camp (in mountains) at 3am, 50km from closest village and without hiking gear or even a bigger backpack was normal.
@@niqa246 Haha, I did that two weeks ago, while owling in the mountains. Okay, it was only 45km from the nearest town. I didn't have any hiking gear, but I did carry my phone to record owl sounds. Among other night birds, I got Northern Saw-whet Owl, which I hadn't heard in that area before. It is also in the extremely isolated areas of that mountain range that a birder has a chance hearing or seeing the extremely rare, extremely desired Northern Spotted Owl. They only live in the most remote, untouched and ancient parts of forest, and that kind of thing attracts birders. At night.
I'm not saying it's always going to be innocent, just that there ARE innocent reasons people are out and about in the dark in remote locations. As I said, it's the scariest thing I could hear in the woods, and my mind would always go to "serial killer" but when I'm thinking about it rationally once I'm home again, I realize that there were many reasons someone would be out there... just like me.
In my four decades of camping, hiking, and birding, I've had a few weird encounters with people. Some were scary, but thankfully I've never been hurt by any humans while out in the wilderness. They were always in the front country, or at least on popular trails, rather than the backcountry.
Yep feel safer away from people than I do near them. You know if someone is creeping about near your camp it’s not for any good reason
Being a couch potato, due to broken leg, and grandma status, I so admire this young woman's outdoor survival skills. And her courage. So refreshing to watch. Well done sweetheart, weirdo noises or not you did it. However, please be careful this was creeping me out.

She stays another night ?! Oh , hell , no … I can’t watch this. And I’ve done solo , no food , H20 for 3 days in Alaska , Mount Shasta , etc. . The woods where she is - besides being hella haunted - are creeepy ! Missing411 isn’t only a U.S. and Canada phenom . That branch snap … that was bipedal , intentional . She’s got a set that clanks .

Damn! Those crows going off added a whole new layer to the creepiness.
fun corvid fact; three consecutive caws means danger, crows usually use it for things like cats and humans.... those crows were reacting to someone else there.
I half expected to hear a frog croaking “Icabod! That’s right! Icabod! That’s right! Icabod! That’s right!” Rinse and repeat.
Oh my god! It did sound like footsteps right around your hammock. I would've been petrified and reaching for my gun!! I can't believe you actually stayed a second night after reading about the haunted woods you were staying in - you're more brave than me, Louise! What's more concerning than the ghostlies, is all the modern murders and disappearances taking place around there. Stay safe in all your adventures, Lou!
I agree, that was very brave to stay another night indeed. I wonder if they (the ghosts) didn't mind Lou's playing as it was great and maybe they could've thought that she's not there to bother them so they didn't bother her the second night - the first night might have been curiosity on their behalf, who knows.

I doubt it was ghosts. Humans making noise seems more likely and more scary.
Ahhhhhh ! From a female retired lone camper- to a much younger new one ! I camped alone all over the world in the early 90s, climbed up into some woods with my Djembe drum on the Island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, ‘‘twas an ancient wood called Los Tilos wood where prehistoric ferns still grow, La Palma is a protected Biosphere, and you may know it from the recent volcano eruption there.
Anyway I reached the beautiful camping spot, which had a few local Spanish people cooking out on huge stone barbecue grates built beautifully into the huge rocks and a smaller cave covered with the greenest moss I had ever the delight to see.
As
the sun went down,
every single person left, I was really happy built my fire filled my stomach , and sat down in front of my fire tv and played my djembe drum.
I had never before experienced such a sudden change in energy and sound in the woods anywhere in my life. Suddenly it was pitch black and not a single sound could be heard, all the birds, seagulls , and moving brush sounds of nature came to an eerie abrupt, as if ordered, end. Not a single sound, I felt a sudden urgent need to put my fire out jump in my tent zip it up, and get the hell to sleep.
I was that hard 😅 I had never felt afraid camping alone, not ever. Not even on uninhabited ( by humans at least) Islands.
As I climbed into my green maggot, for no reason I found myself struck by a real sense my life was in imminent danger and I was frozen in literal terror, there was only one sound the sound of approaching heavy small feet, as the four or five- of whatever they were - drew closer and closer to my tent ( how? No moon and I couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face) were they walking across a steep 100ft ravine, down a path whilst talking in these incessant terrifying whispered voices, surrounding my tent , stepping around and around endlessly with their small feet , as if they were discussing what they were going to do with me!.
I stopped breathing lest they heard me, whilst hot tears rolled silently down my cheeks, I was trapped sitting bolt upright !Glacier! frozen in terror. I sat like this for what seemed an eternity, until it was as if they lost interest in me the tent or the drum; they moved off some 30 ft away behind me still whispering menacingly the only thing I was sure of was that they were pint sized little people with voices;
I remembered the back shaped rock that I had been playing my Djembe on, (So dam loudly) I made another horrendously loud zipping noise, darted for that rock in the blackness, and dug till my fingers were bleeding faster than Bolt can run 100 meters, I had curled into a foetus position with my back against that rock, and covered my body and face with dirt and leafs and small pieces of dried twig.
I laid there with my hand over my mouth and nose and very strangely fell straight to sleep for what seemed like five minutes, the breaking sunlight through the ancient forest trees awoke me, and the sound of nature so beautiful all around me. I was alive !
I , to this day, will never forget this experience nor ever understand it, save for, when I reached the village of Los Sources’ for coffee, on asking an old Spanish man about the woods, he replied “ You look like you have met the little ones, with a big grin on his face, as he took another puff on his cigarillo ; did you sleep in Los Tilos haunted wood in the night”? “Crazy English girl” still laughing he assured me no one ever sleeps up there who is an Islander.
This is a true story, you are the third person I have ever recounted this too in my life, one of the other persons being an African Shaman, Yosuila smiled and simply said with a glint of sunshine in his eye, “ digging that dirt and covering yourself with it was the best thing You could have ever done”.
Thank you for sharing your night with us on UA-cam where you were also unaware of where you had found yourself, You were very brave staying the next night too ! look what I remembered because of you, I look back at that night now with wonder and awe , very contented , with not knowing.
This planet is truly an unexplored place by most, I’m glad your Journey bounced with mine, for long enough to share something that otherwise might have been lost in time.
With the deepest respect

First solo female camper I've watched and I really enjoyed this young woman's video alot! I like her personality and funny sarcasm lol In this particular video it sounds like the owls and crows were talking to each other That was really cool!!
I've only camped once by myself in a remote spot and couldn't stop listening to the noises. So I put ear plugs in and had a great sleep! It's not animals or ghouls you need to be wary of, humans are the biggest predator. A personal alarm and some pepper spray in your hammock may be useful & a hidden trail camera to capture the wildlife could prove useful too. Stay safe, have fun :)
Why does dampening the sounds of potentially dangerous humans in the woods sound like horrible horrible advice
@@roe__jogan Almost all woodland noises are animals and the wind. Perhaps where you live, there are more humans with ill intent, but 99% of the world is a safe place to camp & if you actually read my reply, I suggested a personal alarm and pepper spray
@retro mancer Be mindful that not everyone on social media lives in a country where bears, big cats or moose live! I’m in NZ where there are NO animals that can kill a person & I can still leave my front door wide open all day and the worse thing that could happen is a bird flys indoors
@@elaineinnz I live on planet earth, where experienced outdoorsmen advise absolutely nobody camping alone to dampen their vital senses.
So true I'd have a trail camera set up on where I was sleeping so I caught anything around my tent during the night and definitely take a weapon, but you are spot on saying humans are the scariest thing to worry about.
I've done a bit of winter camping this year in Canada. I remember one night waking up randomly in the middle of the night then trying to fall back asleep. As I was laying there I could hear footsteps just outside my tent. No reason at all for me to be hearing anything remotely human as I'd just hiked in through 2 ft of snow and about a km away from the road. I was just led down crapping my pants for what felt like an hour but was probably only 5 minutes.
As I was listening to the footsteps in snow I noticed there was a pattern to it. Yeah, as it turns out it was my propane heater making the noise. Never been so relieved camping than I was that night. Ironically the heater I use is called Mr heater Buddy.
Hi from Australia
I just read your comment and Thought you might like to look at my set up, Australian locations such as Fraser Island and camp cook ups.
Cheers
Out There Touring
Hahaha haha😂
@@ottouring hi, do people camp in Australia? Wouldn't all the bugs, spiders, snakes, crocs, etc just murder you the minute you laid down your groundsheet? ;)
@@gazcoleman Of course people camp in Australia! 😆 It's a very popular hobby here, lots of places to go.
That said, most campers go to camp grounds where there's little threat from wildlife. But for the people who do like to camp in the wild, it's all about knowing your surroundings, same as anywhere else really. Snakes are only an issue in summer, they hibernate in winter, and as long as you don't set up camp next to a river with crocodiles in it, they're not going to be a threat.
If anything, camping in the USA or Canada sounds way more dangerous! You guys have bears there that can rip open a tent, we don't have any large carnivorous land animals like that. A spider can be taken care of with a boot, a bear not so much! 😆
@@gazcoleman yeah we camp. I'm in the south so don't have to worry about crocs. I have actually camped next to the home of some snakes ( accidentally). We'd already pitched our tent with great difficulty because the ground was so hard to get the pegs into, when we saw about 3 snakes ( different types too) heading down the sand dune opposite us, across the gravel road and right under the bush next to our tent!
We stayed there for about 3 days and in the mornings the snakes came out from under the bush and headed back up the sandhill. They returned every day before dusk.
We kept our tents zipped up good! 😂
Oh Lou, you are a woman after my own heart, applying the 5 second rule and eating that meatball anyway took me back to the good Ole days. And providing the axe for your own murder was pure genius. Not to mention the upright pitchfork lying in wait to impale you if you attempt to run for your life. Thank you for playing your uke! Serenading the local ghosts was a sure fire way to calm them for the night.

@@lemonladyYT yes, 7 pounds sounds Like alot. It is the weight of a new born baby. 🤣🤣🤣
I said about the pitch fork, I was like that is horrendous
I solo camp in Australia and one night I swear I saw a ghost but that was nowhere near as freaky as the three times I had weird people just approach my camp in the middle of the night! One turned out to be a lost hiker desperate for some help which was cool but the other two times were creepy! Luckily I was awake and had a roaring fire going both times. One time a guy with a cowboy hat and a clearly visible hunting knife just slowly approached my camp at 2am with no sound or torch? He acted as if I couldn't see him? When he got within fifty feet I shouted "hey there" but he said nothing and kept approaching at the same rate so I stood up and grabbed my machete which I pointed at him. He stopped slowly turned around and just walked away at the same rate he arrived at, very creepy Wolf Creek vibes! Didn't sleep that night and left at dawn.
The second time it was just as I was getting into my tent, luckily the fire was still going and I had placed dry twigs and leaves around my campsite, after I got in my tent I heard twigs breaking and leaves being crushed by footsteps but they were coming from two different sources? I grabbed my machete again and some pepper spray I bought online and jumped out the tent and turned on my headlamp, I couldn't see who it was but I could hear them stopping still and I could see a human shape behind a tree crouching down about 30 feet away, I just barked out in my deepest voice "you come any closer and I'll cut your throat!". I heard one set of footfalls slowly retreat while I watched the shape of the other one walk backwards into the bush and out of sight. I was terrified and if they had guns or if they were braver I might have ended up a missing person lost in the bush forever?
I now have my German Shepherd as my camping buddy and nothing weird had happened with him around! The ghost encounter was kinda cool and unusual compared to the terror of some unknown psycho watching me from the deep bush! Always take some sort of weapon, be it a knife, a dog, a hatchet or a machete. You'll probably need it for wood chopping, cooking, cutting rope etc anyway 🤷
Wow that sounds hella creepy when I think from your perspective 😮 just seeing someone walk from the pitch black yikes stay safe out there

dosent have anything to do with gender whatsoever
@@najacic Of course it does. Women are taken as sex slaves and are r@ped far more frequently than men are. They're also physically weaker, which is why they're easier to take advantage of and kidnap or even murder. Gender has *everything* to do with it and arguing against that fact isn't just ignorant - it's blatantly idiotic. There are also *only two* genders. These are what some call "facts" you might do well to learn some.
Thank you. The misandry has so permeated western society that I didn't catch the gender comment. Well said. All kindza krazies in this world.
@@najacic It absolutely does, a woman all alone is unfortunately a more likely target for some creep, not to mention on average men are stronger, and more aggressive.

So glad your safe, your one brave women , I would have definitely taken my car keys and hit the emergency to set off a horn in the distance! Stay safe♥️
Sounded like human footsteps but a lot of people have said deer's can sound just like people... I would say if someone was intent on harming her they would of, it was prob either deer, another animal or another person who stumbled across her camp or.... Her friend... 75% of these sort of encounter videos are setup nowadays
If it was someone, they must have amazing night vision to see their way in the dark without a torch unless they had night vision goggles. I can only imagine it would have been poachers or a vagrant living in the woods.

I was once fly fishing in the boondocks of Yellowstone; where no one else goes, about 2 1/2 hours hike off the main road...in Grizzly bear country. I was having such a good time I lost track of time and knew I would never make it back before dark. So I quickly built a fire and spent the entire night out there by myself. It's amazing what you think of at 2 a.m. when you are all by yourself out in the wilderness.
