I went from someone who was a mediocre listener to an avid fan of your videos. No one is doing storytelling like you are. Its very unique. You take us with you out into the wilderness. Its a perfect setting. Thank you Chris!
I don’t think I’d want to be blowing that death whistle out in the middle of nowhere; you might call something you don’t want to meet whilst alone in the woods.
Hey Chris, Chris Dickenson from Oklahoma here. Im being released from the hospital tomorrow after almost dying a week ago. Heart failure and blood clots. With God's grace and your videos, it got me through. I absolutely love the way you take us along with you and the way you tell the stories. I was a so called Bigfoot "researcher" and had a successful UA-cam channel called "Sooner Sasquatch". Had a blast doing it. And they are out there, I've seen them. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much you lifted my spirits and helped me get through this. Keep up the good work and God Bless you Chris!
Be careful out there Chris! Some of your stories are chilling! Don't tempt the devil, he's evil, and loves to steal, kill and destroy! Keep up the good work, love the sound effects too, but NOT that whistle, I'd burn it! Take care!!!
It is a scary story 😬, unfortunately it's also phony! The description of the"wendigo is not accurate 🤗! A wendigo is a Spirit that possess someone and compels them to commit cannaballisim (?) 😮!
Yeah well, this story made me have to look up Wendigo. It seems they can only be killed with silver bullets, etc. Then, short story, the heart of ice cut out n burned, etc. Chris probably isn't prepared with silver bullets n all that stuff. And heck, I wouldn't want to be around to see if it's fact of fiction!
@@stuartaga5653 What exactly? Could you enlighten us here? What kind of a malady would funny sound bring? You are assuming someone is listening intently at exactly the same time Chris used the whistle.And is ready to act on it .
I looked up Wendigo and it said it's a supernatural mythological being told by the Algonquin Indians in the Plains and Great Lakes areas, which is where I live. Never heard of it before. The picture showed a slim being standing upright and had deer antlers, like you described. As the story goes, the first ever Wendigo was a lost hunter whose need for food drove him to cannibalism, eating hunters that he could find. Those guys in the cabin had a chilling experience.The sound effects always make it real. Great story, Chris!
The antlers were a later addition, if I remember correctly. The original appearance is supposed to be tall, pale, and emaciated. It's also supposed to be superhumanly fast and strong. So imagine a demon possessed super zombie and you're pretty close. lol
Five armed men frozen in fear inside that log cabin! Yikes! What a hair-raising tale! Those sound effects of the creature pacing around the cabin and then pounding on the door are enough to convince me to stay out of the deep woods. Great story Chris! 🪵🌲🧟🪵😡🌲🍂🌿😬🪵🌳😳🪴😵🍂🪵🧟😳🌳🪵🌲🍂🧟😡😬
"Five armed". ummm, it was THREE. I just find it strange that the "aztec death whistle" was brought up because average people would bring up animal sounds as comparison. Sorry, I used to work for a law firm and trained to spot holes in a story.
Hi Chris, it's Wes Sept here, I sure love your channel. It really is special custom made for my life, and lifestyle. On Saturday night I did my 59th hike of the year, and now today it's snowing where I live! I do plan to continue in the cold, and at least I won't have to be aware of rattlesnakes for a few months. Listening to you is almost like being with friends, and/or family. Thank you for all your efforts, in creating all of this, it's entertaining, and comforting, thank you. With love, and respect. Wes Sept
Sounds like the Rake with the exception of the horns. I live in NH. Glen is near where we spent summer camping. Wicked scary. I feel bad for anyone who purchased that cabin.
Wendigos are from the Algonquin native legends. It's a corporeal spirit animal that looks just as it was described in this story, has super human strength, super human agility, but worst of all... IT HAS AN INSATIABLE HUNGER FOR HUMAN FLESH. They are also said to be able to mimic the sounds of any person or animal. Other versions of the Wendigo are explained as a roaming demonic spirit that can inhabit or possess certain people, particularly in times of isolation and starvation, that turns them into bloodthirsty cannibals. This version of the Wendigo is called Wendigo-Psychosis. Look up the story of the native american named Swift Runner who murdered and cannibalized his whole family in Alberta.
loving the idea that someone was close enough to hear that whistle and promptly broke camp and ran back to the car park - they'll be getting in touch with Chris to let him know of their encounter with a skinwalker screamer in no time 🤣🤣
I actually had a similar thought watching this. I think my DnD group is going to run into some "haunted" woods that's actually just locals tying these death whistles up in trees to scare off trespassers. Only, once they discover the ruse and remove all the whistles... they screaming isn't going to stop.... 👀👻💀😂
This was a wildly entertaining way to wake up on a Sunday morning. Thank you Chris, the death whistle was a special treat too. There's something about true stories, truth is more entertaining than fiction......especially when we have a such a gifted storyteller.
This is the most disturbing story yet. It makes me question how many hikers, hunters etc who've vanished over the years encountered one of these creatures, or something similarly nightmarish.
That was terrifying. When you were describing it I thought Rake,until you said it had horns. I wouldn't go back either. I always look forward to hearing your stories. Stay safe with that Death Whistle, don't need a cryptid after you.
That could've also been a rake. They are the most terrifying cryptids that exist in my opinion. They don't hesitate to attack people and make absolutely horrible noises.
Vic Cundiff's Dogman Encounters channel has a sighting/encounter story or two from Sweden. And another channel featured a dogman preying on a pig farm in Sweden a whle back -- if I can find the link, I'll post it for you. Warm regards from Austria.
I'm part Miami Indian and that monster was a Wendigo. Thank sweet Jesus they didn't open that door. It would have killed them all. Praise the Lord they are all safe.
"Thank sweet Jesus they didn't open that door. " ....and what "sane reasoning" would they open the door? LOL. That's why I always come armed with extra ammo when I'm camping and fishing.
Chris, that was a fun one! Each time you blew that whistle, I couldn't help imagining someone camping alone nearby and freaking out. You should bring a set of antlers next time, too!
Holy cow Chris this story, that whistle and a windago which i never heard of was another reason why i only camp at resorts. Spent 8 and a half years in northern Idaho. Beautiful country with deer, bears and wild life. No Windagos or big foots. I totally believe these things exists. You are an amazing man with amazing stories. Thank God people have someone to tell their stories to💜
What a spooky story. Thank you Chris. The thought of running into a Windago is horrifying. The 12 gauge I carry while camping may or may not be of adequate size, but….
Wow! What an experience!! I was thinking, if it were a Sasquatch of 300-500 lbs. I would think it could've caved in the roof while up there! But then he gives a description of a tall, slender being he saw out the window and by this description it doesn't sound like a usually heavy Sasquatch at all? I can appreciate how this incident was life changing. Great story telling Chris! Now we have this new cryptid I guess you'd call it, to think about and there you are blowing that creepy Aztec whistle around LOL "if you whistle, it will come" 🤔
Incredible story as always, Chris. I think this might rank in my favorites. There is a lot of folklore out there about the Wendigo. It is a creature of Algonquin (a Native American nation) legend. The most uncomplicated description is that they are creatures that possess people in the cold north and make them hunger for human flesh. However, the way the Algonquin describe the Wendigo does not include antlers. Someone should delve into Native legends to find out what that creature is. If you want to learn more about the legend of the Wendigo, I'd recommend Hammerson Peters UA-cam channel. He's a Canadian folklorist who delved deep into that legend and other Indian legends. His stuff on the Wendigo is terrifying and the descriptions are gory. Take care while listening/watching.
I think that windigos can come in almost any form, like a shape shifter. I also think, that in First Nation culture, you're not suppose to talk about them.
Wow that's a super creepy ,spine chilling whistle Chris, but there's an old saying "a whistling hen will bring the devil from his den " so stay safe 😮😮😊
Thank you Basecamp! You made my Day.😊 P.S. The Wendigo is mostly a spiritual creature, but stands in this world and another universe. Their Evil to man and not only pray upon flesh but souls.😢
As soon as you described it, I knew it was a Wendigo - I actually didn't see the title of this video because I clicked on "play all" your channel page to play while I am doing some re-organization in my Crafty-Music Lounge. Always get a medal door - they can break thru wooden ones. They will tear you apart and eat you. It's difficult to kill them. Different stories have different ways: stabbing them over and over again, sledgehammer it to death, shoot it to death using several firearms at the same time going through several cartridges, and using silver bullets or knife - yes, the last one no joking. You have to figure out how to do this before it kills or disables you, which is really difficult. Of course, this is all that I've heard on similar videos with no real way to vet what's been said since I am not sure if they're even real. But just in case, you all know what to try. The best thing to do is escape via vehicle as fast you can.
Wow that’s good one. Holy moly..I wish I could understand more what they thought it was during the encounter, we’re they in complete silence? Great job. Ummm maybe leave that death whistle at home. You might be letting out a mating call. Lol. Plus it is creepy, However that was fun part of the story bringing it out
I thought I was losing it when you started repeating yourself between 5:20 and 7:13, but quickly realized it was just a editing blunder lol.. Its all good, I dont know a single youtuber who hasn't done it at least once, im just glad im not going crazy lmao.. Still a good story and fantastic video Mr Chris, as always!!
Chris- one of the cardinal rules of the forest is to never whistle when there- it will draw wendigos, also speaking their name will attract them. They are also able to mimic human voices.
That is definitely one of your scarier stories. Glad you told it in daylight. I would hate to think of what blowing that whistle might attract after sunset! 🤐
No wonder you shared this terrifying story with us in the middle of the day, Chris! 😮 What a shocking experience for Jack and his mates! No wonder it changed his life! Great sound effects, Chris. The sound of the Aztec death whistle, and the image in my mind of this terrifying creature will stay with me, and I am half a world away! 😂🤣 Thanks for a really,really scaring story! Kiwi Linda 🙋♀️🌿
At the end of the video, when you used the Aztec Death Whistle, some poor hiker a mile away heard the scariest thing and now will tell a story of his own. "It was the craziest thing; I was hiking near Ebbetts pass by my self and I suddenly heard this terrible, scary scream sound..... I have no idea but I don't think I'm alone"... LOL Keep on telling great stories, Chris!! We love 'em
That was probably the best story I’ve ever heard, I’m a truck driver and I listen to your stories all the time that sound was terrifying! If I heard that in the woods , I’d probably die from fear!
I used to drive by and sometimes through Buena Vista every time I drove from my home in Northern Virginia to my kids’ colleges in Radford & Blacksburg. I can attest to the fact that it is a VERY small town! Classic southwest Virginia small town.
Geez Chris, maybe you shouldn't blow that whistle while you're in the woods, that white thing could follow you, I don't want anything happening to you my friend! Oh those poor guys, seeing and listening to that white horned thing, how incredibly scary! I'm really happy that he sold his grandpa's cabin, I wonder if that white creature has ever been inside the cabin, ewww, how scary to even think about that! 😲😨 I'am so happy that they left when they did, that was very smart of them! Great reporting my friend, you are truly the BEST reporter Chris, you take care now, and keep hiking! 🌲👣🌲👣👣🌲👣👣🌲👣👣🌲🌲🌲🌲
Wendigo? Never heard of this one, but sounds, as if, his grandpaw, was right. How creepy! I was thinking of the indian one, and now, forget its name. With it being 7 feet tall, white without hair, and horns, plus the death scream, I'd high tailed it out of there, too. Great job, as usual, Chris! ❤
Great video and story, Chris! I bought an Aztec death whistle from Amazon a couple years ago. Made the mistake of blowing into it one night and totally spooked my whole goat herd. I put it in the closet where it has lived ever since.
Morning Chris, holy crap that's a crazy encounter. Thank you for the Beer and the story! Be safe out there. I also want to thank Todd for his service and all veterans and active duty men and women 💪
This is wonderful storytelling and one of my favorite channels! I love that you go out and camp and when it comes down to storytelling, I can actually picture myself there. This story is the stuff of nightmares.
Oohh a windigo that is down right terrifying, more terrifying than skin walkers in my opinion. And both of them are things I would much rather avoid. Great story telling as always Chris.
BEST channel on YT as far as cozying up and having a beer and being engrossed in GREAT BF encounters. LOVE it Chris, and you need to start selling tee shirts! Oh wait, you do as I'm just noticing now. I'll pick a couple up!!!!!!
I've never heard about wendigos before. I moved to New Jersey a year ago and am getting to know the Pine Barrens. I love the NJ Devil stories that I hear. Thanks for another great story!
Hi Reba I'm from the same area. Have you walked around Batsto yet? I think they are having their big festival right now. You should go check it out & take a tour of their big old house (if they have it open). It's pretty interesting.
Good narration. This is a creepy story! I took a hike with my corgi dog when I was in the Big Horn Mts in WY this summer way up to an unoccupied ranger station. It was heavily forested and extremely steep. I did not think of it until I got back down but it was spooky up there. Lots of mountain lions in the Big Horns. I have never seen one but a ranger told me once, 'Oh, they have seen you!'. I don't know how you dare camp out. I like a nice upscale lodge.
Thank you Chris for another great and frightening story. I bet the creature was responsible for destroying the cabin in first place and then was angry to see it was built up and being used again. Obviously, it didn't want them there. Very scary experience. 😱
That death whistle is very close to what the sasquatch scream sounds like except the lung capacity is greater than anything you can ever imagine. The whistle as you blew it sounds more like a jaguar scream. What Jack saw was not a sasquatch. It was some other type of demon. Best to recite the Lord’s prayer in those kinds of encounters. Shooting it wouldn’t have worked. Edit: I spent a week at Windigo Pass near Lemolo Lake in Oregon this summer. One night when I got up to empty my bladder something growled at me. I grabbed my camera and started recording. I didn’t catch any animals on the video. Just a weird three-headed stump, lol.
Oh brother. The expert folklorist over here. I guess in biblical folklore that would be true. But when a real life creature is standing in front of you, mumbling a bunch of words with your eyes closed is as affective as an ostrich burying it’s head in the sand when it gets scared because it believes if it can’t see it, it can’t hurt it. I would take my chances with a 45-70 or a .500. Pretty sure even a grizzly ain’t getting back up after 1-2 in em. Just because you’ve never seen something and it is big and scary to you, doesn’t mean it’s a demon 😂.
@@didibolter9362I doubt it was the stump but that’s the only thing I got on my camera. Probably best that way otherwise I might be scared to camp there again.
@@coachtrevor7587Well coach Trevor. Look at the self-styled expert on your end. Who said I’ve never seen one? For your edification, I’ve seen one a couple of times and had other experiences where I only heard them. My first face to face was at age five. My face was only a few inches from it’s face. I know what I know.
I believe the story, but I'll bet the sale of the Aztec whistle will increase after this. Today's sponsor is the Aztec Death Whistle. I'll be getting one 😁
I heard of many wendigo stories on Dogman Encounters with Jeff Nadolny. The story you told sounds terrifying and that Aztec whistle sound is so horrifying. I wonder why the wendigo was attractive to the cabin. Did the metal on the door reflect what the wendigo looked like? Maybe it was frightened by its own image. Something spooked it.
This is by far the most terrifying story you have told!! It reminded me of another story I heard I think it may have been on your channel about the man at a cabin it snowed and he also heard something circling the cabin and jump onto the roof. I thought for a minute you were going to say it was the rake, definitely creeped me right out tho!! 😮
I think your referring to a Mr Ballen story, a 17 year old stayed with his dog at a family owned house in the Maine woods for the last time as his dad passed and it was being sold and that thing showed up, one of Mr Ballens scariest storys and very similar to this one!
I already know I'm going to like the video so this is one of the rare channels I come to watch the new video and give the thumbs up 👍 immediately. Cheers Chris and thanks for what you do. Edit - As far as I know, from what I have learned about cryptids, the wendigo is the worst one to have an encounter with. More so than the Dogman, Rake, Skinwalker or Sabe (Bigfoot). Those guys are very lucky to get out of there unscathed
Maybe this wendigo thing can change into whatever it wants to at any given time. Ive also heard of things popping out of trees or blending into them like some kind of portal or something. Maybe some of the trees are cursed or something.
I don’t live in the Whites but spend a good bit of time out there every year and thought the same! My first reaction was “NO!! Not the White Mountains! Don’t ruin them for me!!” 🤣
Wendigos are no joke. Most people that have encountered them are no longer alive so not much is known about them. The one they described was a small one. Those guys are really lucky. I’m glad they got out. Sounds like the sunrise chased it off. Thank you for sharing ✌️
Yes. Wendigos are my worst cryptid fear. Rakes come in a close second. This story is so authentic that I can’t believe people would doubt its truth. Excellently told story.
Hi Chris, wow, I’ve never heard of anything like that again. That’s some scary stuff. Too bad they didn’t Kill it. Something like that is too dangerous to be left alive out there. I wonder how many missing People this thing is responsible for? Thanks again as always Chris. You are a Master Story Teller.😁👍👍
I live in NH and have hiked and camped all over the state( almost 60 now) I've never seen anything scary like that.. never even heard of an encounter like that before. I only had one odd encounter back around 83-84. We drove into the mountains and turned onto a fire road, a rough dirt road leading deep into the woods. We would drive as far in as we could then hike some and set up camp. Mid day on Sunday we were breaking camp and heading for the car. Just as we were at the car ..there was another fire road cut perpendicular and we saw 2 native Americans sitting on horses far away. They saw us and started riding fast towards us.were about 2 football fields away.... we jumped in the car and started going fast as we could but the road was so bumpy we could only go so fast.they were gaining fast when we saw an arrow go past the car. We were yelling go faster but the road was tossing us around.. just as were were getting to the paved road and out tires chirped and we started to take off one of the Indians threw a paper bag through the passenger side window and we pulled away from him and the other. We never went back to that spot. I wondered if we went on some burial ground or sacred land.. they were mad for some reason.
I had a similar experience in 1999. I saw something. I don't know what it was but it was big. At least 8 feet tall. It threw a grapefruit sized rock at me. I shot into the tree by its head. It ran away from me and I ran from it. It was covered with hair and very muscular. Since that day I always carry a gun with me into the woods. Great story Chris.
I guess it was a Bigfoot. I was camping when this happened. I didn't sleep at all that night. I sat up by the fire pretty much the whole night. The next morning I packed up my stuff and left the area.
Oh geez, now there’s another monster to look out for when camping?! That is quite the horrifying experience!! Chris you hit another home run with this one!! A+++. Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Chris I've been waiting on this all week lol I've been watching your older vids all week. Another great story thank you sir I live in the Appalachian mtns love it here but I'm in the southern part in a little town called Blueridge GA it's not far from where the mtns start lol..
Love these stories, been a faithful listener for over a year now. Honestly, do I believe these stories? Not really, but I will continue to listen because they’re entertaining.
What a creepy story. Absolutely horrifying. You are such a great story teller Chris. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. I would never purchase an Aztec whistle. In so would open up doorways to evil.
They are built with different air streams. They were buried so the Aztecs could summon the wind in the afterlife. Imagine 200 Aztecs warriors coming at you blowing these and also beating big drums. One of the scariest stories yet Chris. Btw UA-cam had a lot of vids on these. 😱🎃🌛

I'm part Miami Indian and that monster was a Wendigo. Thank sweet Jesus they didn't open that door. It would have killed them all. Praise the Lord they are all safe.
Thanks Dawn… agree.⛺️
"Thank sweet Jesus they didn't open that door. " ....and what "sane reasoning" would they open the door? LOL. That's why I always come armed with extra ammo when I'm camping and fishing.
Miami Indian?
Yes I think the Ohio area..
There's a miami tribe in indiana too
The Aztec death whistle definitely made this one send a chill over me.
THAT was terrifying 😳 I’m so glad you’re giving people a safe place to tell their experiences! Loved all you did to bring it to life. Great job 👏💜
Thank you!!⛺️🌲🍁🍺🎃
I know about em. But I'll never talk about em. Great video Chris 👍
Chris, I bet after you blew that aztec death whistle; every hiker or camper, within a radius of you, skeedaddled!!! Thanks for the story!
The way you related that story, I felt like I was there! What a terrifying experience for these guys! I look forward to the new stories every Sunday!
Imagine of Chris blew that whistle and got a response back...😂 I bet he'd never do another story in the dark section of the woods.
I wouldn't have blown that whistle, especially in the damn forest!!! 😱
I sure wouldn't have! 🙈🙉
Neither would I Cryptoman!
That's exactly what I was thinking. I would not want to call anything in
Me either. No way!
I know paranormal investigators will use the Aztec death whistle to stir up spirits. its a freaky sound. Great story Chris! Thats creepy AF
Chris, that was a fun one! Each time you blew that whistle, I couldn't help imagining someone camping alone nearby and freaking out. You should bring a set of antlers next time, too!
Holy cow Chris this story, that whistle and a windago which i never heard of was another reason why i only camp at resorts. Spent 8 and a half years in northern Idaho. Beautiful country with deer, bears and wild life. No Windagos or big foots. I totally believe these things exists. You are an amazing man with amazing stories. Thank God people have someone to tell their stories to💜
Oh!! It is Sunday!!! Time for a Base Camp Chris video!!!😊❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a grown man and once you blew that Aztec death whistle, hairs on my neck stood up. I'm totally freaked out!
What a spooky story. Thank you Chris. The thought of running into a Windago is horrifying. The 12 gauge I carry while camping may or may not be of adequate size, but….
Wow! What an experience!! I was thinking, if it were a Sasquatch of 300-500 lbs. I would think it could've caved in the roof while up there! But then he gives a description of a tall, slender being he saw out the window and by this description it doesn't sound like a usually heavy Sasquatch at all? I can appreciate how this incident was life changing. Great story telling Chris! Now we have this new cryptid I guess you'd call it, to think about and there you are blowing that creepy Aztec whistle around LOL "if you whistle, it will come" 🤔
Yes, I was thinking the same exact thing! No more blowing that whistle Chris!!! 😅 👣 😄 🌲 😃 ⛺ 😂
Incredible story as always, Chris. I think this might rank in my favorites.
There is a lot of folklore out there about the Wendigo. It is a creature of Algonquin (a Native American nation) legend. The most uncomplicated description is that they are creatures that possess people in the cold north and make them hunger for human flesh. However, the way the Algonquin describe the Wendigo does not include antlers. Someone should delve into Native legends to find out what that creature is.
If you want to learn more about the legend of the Wendigo, I'd recommend Hammerson Peters UA-cam channel. He's a Canadian folklorist who delved deep into that legend and other Indian legends. His stuff on the Wendigo is terrifying and the descriptions are gory. Take care while listening/watching.
Thank you for the information… very helpful. ⛺️🌲🍁
Thanks for this recommendation to the Hammerson Peters channel, really good content 👍
I think that windigos can come in almost any form, like a shape shifter. I also think, that in First Nation culture, you're not suppose to talk about them.
😮😮😮
No because from what I understand, they gain more power when people conversed about them.
Wow that's a super creepy ,spine chilling whistle Chris, but there's an old saying "a whistling hen will bring the devil from his den " so stay safe 😮😮😊
Thank you Basecamp! You made my Day.😊 P.S. The Wendigo is mostly a spiritual creature, but stands in this world and another universe. Their Evil to man and not only pray upon flesh but souls.😢
Yikes! Thanks for the update!🍁
This is the best story I’ve heard from you or anybody else. No one could make this up.
As soon as you described it, I knew it was a Wendigo - I actually didn't see the title of this video because I clicked on "play all" your channel page to play while I am doing some re-organization in my Crafty-Music Lounge. Always get a medal door - they can break thru wooden ones. They will tear you apart and eat you. It's difficult to kill them. Different stories have different ways: stabbing them over and over again, sledgehammer it to death, shoot it to death using several firearms at the same time going through several cartridges, and using silver bullets or knife - yes, the last one no joking. You have to figure out how to do this before it kills or disables you, which is really difficult. Of course, this is all that I've heard on similar videos with no real way to vet what's been said since I am not sure if they're even real. But just in case, you all know what to try. The best thing to do is escape via vehicle as fast you can.
This story goes to show that there are things in the woods even scarier than Bigfoot. I reckon it was a demon trying to get them. Wow! Great story!!
Probably an Amazon Prime Delivery employee dropping off a package out in the woods because Prime delivers anywhere anytime😂😂😂
That whistle soumded even scarier from a distance. If there were anyone else around, I sure it would have freaked them out!
Yikes! Classic Wendigo encounter. Native North American legend. More than a few seriously scary sightings, encounters.
Camp ⛺️ fire 🔥 Chris gets his buzz on but gives you a great description of the beer 🍺 so that it seems like its better to consume every video lmaoooo
Wow that’s good one. Holy moly..I wish I could understand more what they thought it was during the encounter, we’re they in complete silence? Great job. Ummm maybe leave that death whistle at home. You might be letting out a mating call. Lol. Plus it is creepy, However that was fun part of the story bringing it out
I thought I was losing it when you started repeating yourself between 5:20 and 7:13, but quickly realized it was just a editing blunder lol.. Its all good, I dont know a single youtuber who hasn't done it at least once, im just glad im not going crazy lmao.. Still a good story and fantastic video Mr Chris, as always!!
Chris- one of the cardinal rules of the forest is to never whistle when there- it will draw wendigos, also speaking their name will attract them. They are also able to mimic human voices.
What are those things George? Have you ever seen one? I've never even heard of them till now.
@didibolter9362 I have never seen one, but there are many accounts of encounters on You Tube.
@@George-yh3zy Thank you George for answering my question.
I wouldn't imitate their sounds. I might inadvertently be saying:
"I'm ready to mate!!"
Can I ask a question? Is whistling a Native American legend? I am quite interested in what you have to say. Thanks Brian
That is definitely one of your scarier stories. Glad you told it in daylight. I would hate to think of what blowing that whistle might attract after sunset! 🤐
The location you're telling this story from is prime with odd events. Makes a Man wonder about things. Love your show Chris. God bless.
Thank you! 👍
When you tossed that pinecone over your shoulder, I expected it and a few more to be tossed back at you. lol.
No wonder you shared this terrifying story with us in the middle of the day, Chris! 😮
What a shocking experience for Jack and his mates!
No wonder it changed his life! Great sound effects, Chris. The sound of the Aztec death whistle, and the image in my mind of this terrifying creature will stay with me, and I am half a world away! 😂🤣 Thanks for a really,really scaring story! Kiwi Linda 🙋♀️🌿
At the end of the video, when you used the Aztec Death Whistle, some poor hiker a mile away heard the scariest thing and now will tell a story of his own. "It was the craziest thing; I was hiking near Ebbetts pass by my self and I suddenly heard this terrible, scary scream sound..... I have no idea but I don't think I'm alone"... LOL
Keep on telling great stories, Chris!! We love 'em
That was probably the best story I’ve ever heard, I’m a truck driver and I listen to your stories all the time that sound was terrifying! If I heard that in the woods , I’d probably die from fear!
It really is a scary sound! Thanks for watching my channel Peter! C🐻🍺🌲👀
I used to drive by and sometimes through Buena Vista every time I drove from my home in Northern Virginia to my kids’ colleges in Radford & Blacksburg. I can attest to the fact that it is a VERY small town! Classic southwest Virginia small town.
Geez Chris, maybe you shouldn't blow that whistle while you're in the woods, that white thing could follow you, I don't want anything happening to you my friend!
Oh those poor guys, seeing and listening to that white horned thing, how incredibly scary!
I'm really happy that he sold his grandpa's cabin, I wonder if that white creature has ever been inside the cabin, ewww, how scary to even think about that! 😲😨
I'am so happy that they left when they did, that was very smart of them!
Great reporting my friend, you are truly the BEST reporter Chris, you take care now, and keep hiking! 🌲👣🌲👣👣🌲👣👣🌲👣👣🌲🌲🌲🌲
Thank you very much! 👍🌲⛺️
@@basecampchris Oh my friend, you are quite welcome! 🖒 🖒 👏 👏 👏 🤗🏕🌲👣🌲🌲👣🌲👣👣🌲🌲👣🌲
Wendigo? Never heard of this one, but sounds, as if, his grandpaw, was right. How creepy! I was thinking of the indian one, and now, forget its name. With it being 7 feet tall, white without hair, and horns, plus the death scream, I'd high tailed it out of there, too. Great job, as usual, Chris! ❤
Thank you! 🌲
Well that was terrifying!! Love your storytelling!!
Thank you so much!
Great video and story, Chris! I bought an Aztec death whistle from Amazon a couple years ago. Made the mistake of blowing into it one night and totally spooked my whole goat herd. I put it in the closet where it has lived ever since.
Morning Chris, holy crap that's a crazy encounter. Thank you for the Beer and the story! Be safe out there. I also want to thank Todd for his service and all veterans and active duty men and women 💪
🇺🇸 🌟👍
This is wonderful storytelling and one of my favorite channels! I love that you go out and camp and when it comes down to storytelling, I can actually picture myself there. This story is the stuff of nightmares.
Great story, Chris! Hammerson Peters has an excellent UA-cam channel with a bunch of wendigo stories from Canada. Definitely worth checking out.
Oohh a windigo that is down right terrifying, more terrifying than skin walkers in my opinion. And both of them are things I would much rather avoid. Great story telling as always Chris.
As always great job Chris!!
BEST channel on YT as far as cozying up and having a beer and being engrossed in GREAT BF encounters. LOVE it Chris, and you need to start selling tee shirts! Oh wait, you do as I'm just noticing now. I'll pick a couple up!!!!!!
I've never heard about wendigos before. I moved to New Jersey a year ago and am getting to know the Pine Barrens. I love the NJ Devil stories that I hear. Thanks for another great story!
Hi Reba I'm from the same area. Have you walked around Batsto yet? I think they are having their big festival right now. You should go check it out & take a tour of their big old house (if they have it open). It's pretty interesting.
I, am from the Pine barren part of Jersey. Check out the legend of the Jersey Devil. I think you will find it very interesting 😮
Good narration. This is a creepy story! I took a hike with my corgi dog when I was in the Big Horn Mts in WY this summer way up to an unoccupied ranger station. It was heavily forested and extremely steep. I did not think of it until I got back down but it was spooky up there. Lots of mountain lions in the Big Horns. I have never seen one but a ranger told me once, 'Oh, they have seen you!'. I don't know how you dare camp out. I like a nice upscale lodge.
That dark beer can knock your socks off. Lol. Love your stories Chris.
Thank you Chris for another great and frightening story. I bet the creature was responsible for destroying the cabin in first place and then was angry to see it was built up and being used again. Obviously, it didn't want them there. Very scary experience. 😱
Good observation…👍🐻
That death whistle is very close to what the sasquatch scream sounds like except the lung capacity is greater than anything you can ever imagine. The whistle as you blew it sounds more like a jaguar scream. What Jack saw was not a sasquatch. It was some other type of demon. Best to recite the Lord’s prayer in those kinds of encounters. Shooting it wouldn’t have worked. Edit: I spent a week at Windigo Pass near Lemolo Lake in Oregon this summer. One night when I got up to empty my bladder something growled at me. I grabbed my camera and started recording. I didn’t catch any animals on the video. Just a weird three-headed stump, lol.
I agree. It was a demon ,only allowed "to go so far" by Jesus. We know they prowl the world seeking the ruin of Souls
A 3 headed stump growled at you?
Oh brother. The expert folklorist over here. I guess in biblical folklore that would be true. But when a real life creature is standing in front of you, mumbling a bunch of words with your eyes closed is as affective as an ostrich burying it’s head in the sand when it gets scared because it believes if it can’t see it, it can’t hurt it. I would take my chances with a 45-70 or a .500. Pretty sure even a grizzly ain’t getting back up after 1-2 in em. Just because you’ve never seen something and it is big and scary to you, doesn’t mean it’s a demon 😂.
@@didibolter9362I doubt it was the stump but that’s the only thing I got on my camera. Probably best that way otherwise I might be scared to camp there again.
@@coachtrevor7587Well coach Trevor. Look at the self-styled expert on your end. Who said I’ve never seen one? For your edification, I’ve seen one a couple of times and had other experiences where I only heard them. My first face to face was at age five. My face was only a few inches from it’s face. I know what I know.
You're right, that was super creepy! And so is the death whistle!
I believe the story, but I'll bet the sale of the Aztec whistle will increase after this. Today's sponsor is the Aztec Death Whistle. I'll be getting one 😁
What impresses me is that even though your videos get thousands of comments you make a big effort to reply to as many as you can 👌😊
Thanks Marc…enjoy connecting with you all. 🌲
I heard of many wendigo stories on Dogman Encounters with Jeff Nadolny. The story you told sounds terrifying and that Aztec whistle sound is so horrifying. I wonder why the wendigo was attractive to the cabin. Did the metal on the door reflect what the wendigo looked like? Maybe it was frightened by its own image. Something spooked it.
Attracted to the human flesh inside!
Goosebumps. Great story. Thank you Chris! :-) Keep hiking!
Thank you! Will do!
This is by far the most terrifying story you have told!! It reminded me of another story I heard I think it may have been on your channel about the man at a cabin it snowed and he also heard something circling the cabin and jump onto the roof.
I thought for a minute you were going to say it was the rake, definitely creeped me right out tho!! 😮
I think your referring to a Mr Ballen story, a 17 year old stayed with his dog at a family owned house in the Maine woods for the last time as his dad passed and it was being sold and that thing showed up, one of Mr Ballens scariest storys and very similar to this one!
I already know I'm going to like the video so this is one of the rare channels I come to watch the new video and give the thumbs up 👍 immediately. Cheers Chris and thanks for what you do.
Edit - As far as I know, from what I have learned about cryptids, the wendigo is the worst one to have an encounter with. More so than the Dogman, Rake, Skinwalker or Sabe (Bigfoot). Those guys are very lucky to get out of there unscathed
Maybe this wendigo thing can change into whatever it wants to at any given time. Ive also heard of things popping out of trees or blending into them like some kind of portal or something. Maybe some of the trees are cursed or something.
Great story and narration as usual. Thanks Chris. Enjoy your channel! 😊
Great story! Good format!
I live in the White Mountains and there aren't a lot of creature stories out here. This was horrifying. Dang. Love it
I don’t live in the Whites but spend a good bit of time out there every year and thought the same! My first reaction was “NO!! Not the White Mountains! Don’t ruin them for me!!” 🤣
How did I miss this one? Blessings Chris. Be careful out there 🎉🎉🎉
Wendigos are no joke. Most people that have encountered them are no longer alive so not much is known about them. The one they described was a small one. Those guys are really lucky. I’m glad they got out. Sounds like the sunrise chased it off. Thank you for sharing ✌️
Yes. Wendigos are my worst cryptid fear. Rakes come in a close second. This story is so authentic that I can’t believe people would doubt its truth. Excellently told story.
Hi Chris, wow, I’ve never heard of anything like that again. That’s some scary stuff. Too bad they didn’t Kill it. Something like that is too dangerous to be left alive out there. I wonder how many missing People this thing is responsible for? Thanks again as always Chris. You are a Master Story Teller.😁👍👍
Thank you so much!👍⛺️🌲🍺
Well, we let human killers live, why not a rare creature like the tall, pale one.
I live in NH and have hiked and camped all over the state( almost 60 now) I've never seen anything scary like that.. never even heard of an encounter like that before. I only had one odd encounter back around 83-84. We drove into the mountains and turned onto a fire road, a rough dirt road leading deep into the woods. We would drive as far in as we could then hike some and set up camp. Mid day on Sunday we were breaking camp and heading for the car. Just as we were at the car ..there was another fire road cut perpendicular and we saw 2 native Americans sitting on horses far away. They saw us and started riding fast towards us.were about 2 football fields away.... we
jumped in the car and started going fast as we could but the road was so bumpy we could only go so fast.they were gaining fast when we saw an arrow go past the car. We were yelling go faster but the road was tossing us around.. just as were were getting to the paved road and out tires chirped and we started to take off one of the Indians threw a paper bag through the passenger side window and we pulled away from him and the other. We never went back to that spot. I wondered if we went on some burial ground or sacred land.. they were mad for some reason.
😳😳😳
Thank for sharing that! Very scary! C
I would have been so, so beyond terrified! 😢😢😢
And that Aztec death call gave me chills down my spine.
That whistle scared the crap out of me!
I always look forward to Sundays because I know you will be telling us a campfire story. Thank you Chris.
That sound is absolutely terrifying!!
I had a similar experience in 1999. I saw something. I don't know what it was but it was big. At least 8 feet tall. It threw a grapefruit sized rock at me. I shot into the tree by its head. It ran away from me and I ran from it. It was covered with hair and very muscular. Since that day I always carry a gun with me into the woods.
Great story Chris.
You know what it was
I guess it was a Bigfoot. I was camping when this happened. I didn't sleep at all that night. I sat up by the fire pretty much the whole night. The next morning I packed up my stuff and left the area.
@michaelyunkelo1757 yeah dude..your encounter would have been absolutely terrifying..life changing for sure..but at least now you know the truth
3d time listening to this one! Yikes! 😳
Love your style! Reno, here..🏡
My 3rd time too!
Oh geez, now there’s another monster to look out for when camping?! That is quite the horrifying experience!! Chris you hit another home run with this one!! A+++. Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Thanks Shari! 🎃🍁🌟
I just found this channel today and I am already hooked! Love your videos and how animated you tell these stories!
Glad you like them!🌲c
Chris I've been waiting on this all week lol I've been watching your older vids all week. Another great story thank you sir I live in the Appalachian mtns love it here but I'm in the southern part in a little town called Blueridge GA it's not far from where the mtns start lol..
Great storytelling! You know you should be terrified when a group of ex marines are frightened of something. I imagine they don't scare easily.
Dude, that last whistle on the way out, hilarious.
Yikes!! What a bone chilling experience!! I feel bad for the people who bought the cabin!!
Love these stories, been a faithful listener for over a year now. Honestly, do I believe these stories? Not really, but I will continue to listen because they’re entertaining.
What a creepy story. Absolutely horrifying. You are such a great story teller Chris. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. I would never purchase an Aztec whistle. In so would open up doorways to evil.
I agree BP!
They are built with different air streams. They were buried so the Aztecs could summon the wind in the afterlife. Imagine 200 Aztecs warriors coming at you blowing these and also beating big drums. One of the scariest stories yet Chris. Btw UA-cam had a lot of vids on these. 😱🎃🌛
