Ahhhh....what a find your channel is. I'm going to spend my weekend listening to your stories & I most certainly believe that you'll tell it as you heard/saw it. Thanks 🎉
I knew ferrel people in Braxton West Virginia , it’s been more than 20yrs since Iast seen them, I use to give them gifts , very simple and misunderstood people
I was raised in the upper peninsula of mich. We had a hard packed dirt floor and an outhouse until 1977. We lived mostly on fishing and hunting. Never had any license and no one ever asked for one. We barely went to school. I tested in the 90th percentile for my GED. We read a lot. No tv no phone. My brother still lives up there in the family cabin. I’m 62 now. I had a great childhood.
That's awesome! Ain't nothing like a good mountain life. I've lived the exact same way. Makes ya appreciate the finer things in life and even everyday things we now take for granted don't it. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
WOW! I used to teach those GED classes in the 90s and you had to have a 45 to pass. In four years of teaching that class, NEVER did anyone score that well. The highest I'd seen was 79! It's not an easy test and has only gotten harder. I'm impressed! How amazing! We moved to a suburb from the mountains recently, and hopefully, we'll get used to it. My youngest son, his wife, and my grandkids still live up there, so we do get back from time to time. Sure do miss it!
@@renastone1270 we never had structured learning. We would read books and talk about them at dinner. Math was a competition. I remember my dad teaching me PI. He asked me how to get square footage out of a water tower. Then explained PI. Application is the way to teach math.
I've lived in the deep Appalachia all of my life. I knew some people who kept to themselves pretty much. In Appalachia, you have only two types of people, your friends or your worst enemies. Here, you build respect through kindness, and enemies are made by too much drinking. So if you come, be nice or don't come here at all.
It is a whole different world in those hills. Most people traveling through Kentucky might travel south on I-75 and they are fairly safe. However if you wander too far into the deep forests, then you are in an entirely different world. I too was born there but grew up elsewhere. Even though I have many relatives there I have not been back for many years and would be considered "an outsider". It is a beautiful land though and I have fond memories of my childhood.
@@nathanielovaughn2145 - down close to the Tenn Boarder, Williamsburg, KY; Manchester, KY; London and Corban, Barbourville and pretty much every other little town full of my ancestors and related families. I didn't grow up their after the age of 6 but all relatives say they are fully armed wherever they go. Politeness and Expressed Respect is the law of the land and easy to make friends. Nice to meet you Nathaniel. My family ancestors first recorded being in those hills around 1796.
That is a lie that they need money assistance to survive there is a lack of jobs in the whole USA and after the pandemic it got worse, we have homeless all over Europe too. 😢
@FreyaVanBuren-go8qn You are the liar. I see 500k of them roaming the streets of DC and Baltimore everyday like zombies. There are jobs for people who WANT to work. There are criers, and there are doers. Those who cry live off the taxes of the doers. I have never been on public assistance and would be ashamed of myself if I was. I agree, some people need help, but it is TEMPORARY, NOT A LIFESTYLE.
Amen to that brother!!! When he went this story in and I was reading where he spoke about that certain feeling any police officer knows, you popped in my head. I thought bet Steve knows EXACTLY what he's talking about!
@BobbyTucker 33 minutes ago I have kin in the Appalachia's and I've heard the old folk speak of feral people like what you have just told us about although I've never seen any of them that I know of. Thank you for one very good story and just to say, I do believe it, all of it. Thank you once again, I hope to hear more of your stories. BTW, I just became a new Subscriber, I've left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. Be safe and always respect the forests.
I moved to Southern Appalachia 15 years ago from suburbia Atlanta. I personally know people who live a subsistence way of life. No heat or air, no electricity. Never went to school, grow all of their food. They sell some of their produce for money. But, probably live off of $500 or less per year. Conversations are difficult, there speech is very different and their life experiences are profoundly different.
@@blainwilson7937when I moved to the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, thr locals called people from Sacramento and the Bay area "flatlanders" too. Nothing unique to Appalacia.
I've lived in Appalachiaa all my life and I've never seen them up close but back when I was 14 years old I came face to face with the dog man he stalked me from up on a ridge line above me for about 3 hours and tried to mimic my steps I couldn't smell him at all because he was up above me I was hiking up this long drawl at the bottom was about 80 feet high cliffs on both sides and I was hiking from the bottom to the top ok and when i was 3 quarters to the top the cliffs was still a good 12 to 15 feet high above my head and I'm 6 foot 2 inches tall 200 pounds ok and that's the first time I heard it so I thought nuthing of it other then a squirrel or deer run off that I would of liked to off seen ok so I kept on climbing hiking ok well about another 8 or 10 steps I heard it again and somthing was off like it was a mistake noise I've spent all my hole life running these woods and river bottoms right so I knew that it was trying to mimic my steps or even more scarier hunting me ok so a few more steps and I hear this thing take off about the time the top of my head clears this sharp cliff and I would be able to see except just a few feet in from the edges it's covered with so thick brush that you couldn't possibly get through it so I make my way to the top of this draw finally ok and it's about a 4 foot drop ok from the ground dropping in to this draw ok and the brush was so thick that it was keeping me from standing up so I knew that I was going to have to crawl out of it how ever far it was that thick like that so I'm getting ready to put one leg up on the top of the draw to climb out but I'm hunched down to a crawl position and I heard the God awfulest loudest noise right in front of me came busting through the brush now this is green briers big as round as your thumb and trees as big as round as your wrist like spider webs and this thing monster busted through all that and was right in my face his face was face to face with mine it started growling the scariest growling I've ever heard till this day and I'm 46 years old now and it turned and tore off up through the brush busting Trees like tooth picks up the rest of the mountain and down the other side ok and the only reason that I can think of that it didn't take my life was because I believe that it's smart enough to know that if it did more of my kind would come looking for me back there and it didn't want that and I think and believe that it had a family just over the top and down the other side of the mountain that it was trying to protect that's what I think so well my name is Warren Brumfield and that's what happened to me back when I was 14 years old
@gointothedogs4634 thank you ill never forget it I had a black bear that I was rasing at the time for a pet and his teeth fangs were about a size and a half bigger then my black bears teeth I only live about a half a mile down the road from where I grew up and still to thus day I've heard howl at nights over the years
Wood boogers are Sasquatch not feral people. An old man when he was a kid told the story about he went fishing with his grandpa and he left his grandpa left his lunch on the edge of the woods while they went down and went fishing. The boy asks his Grandpa Grandpa Grandpa why are you leaving or lunch on the edge of the woods. Is grandpa said I'm leaving them for the hairy people. All the sudden he made a whistling sound and said come to the top of the hill and look over but don't go down. The boy said there was a several of what he would say were Sasquatch. Is grandpa said this is the way I communicate with them and I always leave them alone at the edge of the woods so they know we're not aggressive. One of the creatures had a gray patch of hair on his back. Well they done this for years and Grandpa would always take him to the cafe after fishing and they would have a hamburger. Don't tell your grandma about this. He asked his grandfather as they were looking at them what are they called grandpa. He said folks call them boogers or wood boogers. Well they would see these creatures every time they went fishing Grandpa would make the special whistle. Many years later he went to the same area where him and his grandpa went fishing of course by now his grandpa was dead. The boy had a sack lunch that he left at the edge of the woods and then done the whistle that his grandpa had told him about. He said he saw them literally come up to the bag and get the lunch and since he whistled like the grandpa one of the creatures was looking around as if looking for the old man. He said and I know why it was the same creature with the gray patch on his back that I saw so many years before. He said he was looking for Grandpa they were friends of sort. Grandpa told him around that area they were common knowledge but mostly The Men who were out in the fields or in the woods are the ones that have seen them. Every time he comes to that area of the woods he said he leaves a lunch and whistles so they can know that they have food on the edge of the woods. It's kind of a horror story to believe but it is a feel-good story.
As a retired LEO I agree too. Thirty years on the job & NEVER left my duty weapon in the cruiser unless I was in the booking room w/a prisoner. No guns allowed in the booking area so it went in the trunk, but the car was in a secured area.
I'm a trucker, and I remember in CDL class our instructor who had 20+ years experience in the industry said this, "if your in the mountains or rural area, and you break down, NEVER EVER get out of the rig unless it's on fire!!" I never forgot that. I've only been trucking 6 years, and I'll tell ya, there are "things" out there in the Appalachia, Pocono, Blue Ridge, Ozark areas. Honestly, feral people would be the least of my worries. It only took about 60-90 days and a few dozen trips over the mountains to sum them up with the 3Ms...Majestic, Mysterious, and Murderous. Aye, don't be ignorant of their beauty.
In the Appalachian mountains if you were to have problems breaking down, most people would help. I'd be more wary of the people who told you this when you got your CDL's! 😂😂😂
@@susancantrell9266 Say's who? **Y O U ? ?** What’s interesting about (you BS flag-throwing people) & your rampant alcoholism, is that just a few years before the infamous potato famine, Ireland was the site of a massively successful temperance campaign led by the noted Catholic priest, Theobald Mathew. So successful was this campaign that between 1838 and 1841, their national alcohol consumption was cut in half.
Actually that's incorrect we have cannibals in the Mojave desert, and they also are in as far as Grand canyon and the four corners there are caves in the Grand canyon that are quartered off by the government because cannibals still live in there. And Michael berryman who is the bald guy that rides the motorcycle was actually my neighbor when I lived in Palmdale California
I come from southeast Texas. We have similar stories and I’ve had similar feelings. I used to go fishing in some sloughs that were way off the beaten path on the Neches river. My dad would tell me to watch out for river rats. My dad liked to drink and he had a smirk on his face so I brushed it off. One day I was way back off the river in a slough I’d never seen before and there was an old flood ravaged hut. Didn’t think much as there was a lot of them out there. The stench of rotting fish was overwhelming. I glanced the paddle of the side of the canoe and 4 dirty men came outta that hut , screaming bloody murder! One of ran at the water and jumped in, swimming my direction. I think I left a rooster tail behind me, I didn’t wait around. Scared the ever livin outta me. Went back with my Dad and some friends and that shack was pushed over in the water and no sign of those folks. Whenever I’d fish that slough, I’d leave one on the bank by that shack. Never found any bones or rotted fish….
That goes right along with what my father told me. Sometime before my father died, I asked him what part his people took during the Civil War. Did they side with the North, side with the South, or did they split apart and go to both sides? His answer was, "None of them." They took back the old ways (the Cherokee ways), what they needed, and went so deep into the woods that nobody knew they were out there." "They stayed out there long after the war was over; and, then they returned to what was left of their land and homes." The History books I studied in Public Schools never stated one word about people going feral before, during, and after the Civil War. Things did not go smoothly for a long while after they returned; but, they stayed with the so-called Civilized World. Other people stayed feral. Please note: Daddy did not tell me this part of his family's history until I asked for it. I would have never learned this, if I had not asked. What is scary to me is that some of those feral people still living out there in the woods may be kin to me. Daddy is the name I was taught to call my father.
Loooord that's WILD sister!!! Who knows it's very possible. I'm glad you thought to ask him! Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
Yes ma'am that could possibly be so Im glad that you asked your Daddy The history books leave out alot of things sad to say. I was taught to call my Daddy. God bless ya Take care
When I was a kid growing up in the mountains of E. Tennessee we called them Haints. One night when I was in high school in the 70s, deep in the woods, cross country skiing on a one way motor nature trail in the National Park that was closed, literally in the middle of no where, 30 miles from any civilization, we came across a set of footprints in the 6" deep snow crossing the road. The tracks came out of the woods, crossed the road, and went down the hill. Boy did we start booking it down that road to get out of there as fast as we could. We figured it was either big foot or a Haint and we weren't staying around to find out which one. Absolutely true, there is "something" out there.
Soon as I read the word "Haint", I tapped on the thumbs up. In the backwoods of Arkansas, I have relatives there too, they talk about 'Haints', I think I had an experience with one or more of them. I believe they can sense whether you have love or hate in your heart and if they sense the love is there they won't harm you, I truly believe that. Thank you for your story too. I'm 75 years old and I was 15 years old when I had the experience I just told you about. God Bless you and all your loved ones.
I remember going with my mom and dad to Loretta Lynns homestead, and i dont remember if dad got lost or if we really did have to travel on the road we were on, that didnt seem much like a road. Dirt and grass, like a trail with car tracks from long being traveled on. And we passed some of the most intimidating people on their shack porches. This cabin like shack i dont think had running water or electric. And the old man was sitting in his chair with a rifle in his hand and just watched us drive by. Dad said he wont hurt anybody, if you just leave him alone.
@julieniles4750 Omg this Canadian went through the exact same thing with my parents back in 1982 when they wanted to go see Loretta Lynns homestead as well, dad got lost and i remember the dirt grass road, the hillbilly shack with the chair in the front porch and the dude with the gun... I wonder if it was the exact same family of hillbillies that you encountered.. quite possible after all it's a small world.
I live on the far southwest edge of "Appalachia", which has been occupied by more civilized people, including the aboriginal Cherokees and Chickasaws. Sure enough, as you move eastward into the mountains, you will encounter more and more people whose speech is almost indecipherable (Hill Country dialect), and sometimes you will get a whiff of somebody's lack of hygiene. To say it's the odor of "deal animal carcass" is a bit mild. I have literally detected them well before I could see them, sometimes even from inside or outside buildings. Yes, venturing into the true backwoods, you will notice a change in demeanor among the locals -- they act like you're not welcome. But if you know how to engage them, everything will be alright. Most of them are very kind.
Well known among folks in the mountains, don't be out alone in the hills after dark. Keep your doors locked especially after dark. Most important, keep your mouth shut
Why keep your mouth shut? A few guys with level 4 armor AR-15 and they won’t have anything on them. The no fly zone is ridiculous. I would send a UAV scout the area.
@@johnevans1969 well you know what they say things in them woods to make a grown man cry Durham actually being patches of woods I've been in where does creepy feeling comes over me hard to explain but something in my brain in my body tells me it's time to go back the hell out of there and don't even get me talking about the old cemeteries that you come upon in the middle of the woods that shouldn't be there knowing that the old family cemeteries it makes you wonder show me the dates on the headstones from the early 1800s some people live 3 to 4 years some people live months it was actually sad to see the life expectancy back then there was no life expectancy you live to your dad whether it was 3 months 3 days or 90 years but the diversity of dates that people have died was extremely confusing kids going to show you they had nothing back then no medicine no health Care know nothing you got sick you died
@@CSIS-Spy you can't be that stupid do you really think they survived this long being stupid and not knowing how to hide you said anybody in there after them them people ain't coming back out that's their backyard you got no business there leave him alone when's the last time you heard of anything like that eating somebody or hurting somebody you don't because that's not what they're here for they just want to survive leave him alone myself if I saw one in the woods would I be scared hell yeah but I try to make contact with it hell yeah because I want to know if they were here to hurt us they would have did that a long time ago just remember they know them woods like you know your house experts at camouflage they be there you'd never know it leave it alone
I knew a guy who's cousin lived in e Kentucky, miles from his closest neighbor. One day he was out on his front porch smoking and drinking. Went in to get another beer, came out and his pack of cigarettes were gone within a matter of seconds. He said that's the problem with living here, someone is always watching!
I interviewed a retired park ranger once and casually asked what he thought of the Dennis Martin case. He thought for a moment and answered, very quietly, "that boy was carried away." He ended the interview after that. I cannot say more.
I'm still disturbed by this story so very sad and tragic what happened to that little boy 😔 It could have been prevented also 😢 Watch Your Children!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I used to like to drive. And I used to like to drive through those mountains. Until the day I had to go down a jinky road to get some gas. Didn't have a choice. The car was on E. I was not making it off the mountain without gas. And I'm tellin ya. I've been to the ghetto. I lived in it. This place was way scarier. I have never had worse - I am NOT safe - vibes in my life. My brain was screaming - GET THE GAS AND LEAVE. DON'T LOOK AT ANYTHING. DON'T HANG AROUND. DON'T GET SNACKS OUT OF THE BACKSEAT! GET OUT! I got the gas and got my ass out of there. I don't know what the problem was with that place. Never went back. Drove 400 miles out of my way to not go back through whatever that was when I was going home several days later after spending some time on the coast. nopenopenope
The exact same thing happened to me in Alabama. We went to the gas station to get gas and take a piss. I had to go real bad, I could not hold it. It was pitch black outside, but there were people at the station, and some were coming into the station. This must've been the towns main station because it was late, and it seemed like regulars were still coming at that time of night. I could tell they were selling more than gas there also. Drugs, I'm talking about drugs! The car parked at the pump next to us was talking to someone who worked there by the entrance door. He looked like a dusty, dirty scumbag type of dealer. Everyone there had this layer of dust and dirt overlaying their skin and clothes. When we got out of the car, it was as if time stood still when they saw us. All eyes were on us, I mean all eyes. They stopped their conversation and watched our every move. So, to be safe I told my spouse you stay in the car, I'll go in first after I come out then you go. And the place was a hole in the wall. I mean poor, poor, poor, dirty and ran down type of place. The people looked just as bad. I'd describe them exactly the same way im describing the gas station. They weren't ferral people, but that was the vibe. We pulled off and got out of there as fast as we could. Then, the GPS took us driving through the town and it was the most backwoods, old rinky dink dirt roads, the homes were spread far and wide apart, it was pitch black, the entire area was creepy AF. Then, headlights from a distance were on us. You couldn't see anything except car lights from afar. I got so nervous. I'm please don't let one of these hillbillies start following us. We both were like we have to get out of this town. We were praying to get to a main road. The headlights got up on us, but as soon as they got close enough, the car turned on one of those "no-name" roads. My heart was beating fast. We just kept driving, no stops. About 30 mins after leaving that gas station, we crossed a railroad track. After doing that, we finally found a main road that put us back on the highway. We didn't make another stop until the sun came up. On the way back home to the city we did not stop anywhere in Alabama in the night. We filled up the gas each time when the sun was up at places that looked safe, not in the black community "No offense" to anyone, and we went to no gas station that veered far off from the highway. Definitely was not going through that experience again. Alabama is a different breed of folks until you get to their city. Then, it gets better and is tolerable.
@@cccentertainment8085 You might have found a worse town than I ever have. But yeah, if you can help it, don't stop anywhere at night, esp in rural areas. There are some places where civilization hasn't been in 3 or 4 generations.
I worked with NPS and USFS in parts of Appalachia and witnessed things I will never understand. It's a beautiful place but has some incidents that occur that never will be explained. I remember seeing back packers on parts of the trail and thinking to myself, These people have No Idea what they are getting themselves into...There are people who live out there that do not want to be seen or have any interaction with outsiders. If you go there? Be careful
It's the same with the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. Some parts have never been explored and there are people who live out there and they are not very friendly.
Many years ago my mother's boss had been a "Revenoor"when he was young.He got lost in the mountains many times.He told a story about stumbling across a settlement of people way back in the woods.He could not understand them very well as they had thick Scots Irish accents They showed him trunks of old Bibles dating back centuries and pieces of clothing and pieces of shoes that dated back to at least the 1700 and 1800s.He said they were sweet like children and totally gutless. Most of them had terrible deformities from inbreeding but he said they were like angels because they had not been "corrupted" by modern society.
Man aint lying. My Mamaw married a coal miner and for few yrs lived in what now is knw as Big South Fork between Darrow Ridge and Zenith. She would tell stories of livestock and miners being taken and stories miners told of ferrel folks seen in hills and in mines. She would say they were worse than any nightmare could ever dream of . You would get chills and sick feeling when she told of such things . Which to my memory only happen twice in my life
Loooord I tell ya, theys thangs out there I don't want no part of.. what she told about is one of them! Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
@@guineapiglady2841 coal minners killed with body parts chop of and taken livestock same if to big to pack off whole. A boy bout 10 taken trail led cold after 4 days serch never found .
I thought that I heard the same thing! Yes I did, drool would be impossible to see at 300 yards without a very stable spotting scope. He said he was in his 50s. I’m a 53 yr old deer hunter and I know 2 things- how far 300 yds actually is and I couldn’t see spit on a man’s face at that distance without a $500 piece of equipment, that I would not be able to hold steady enough too see spit if it were there. Great story but hunters have had game cameras since the mid-90s and now everyone has GPS to go deep and back out again. Someone would have pictures by now. Right??? I think so. People will do anything to get a click on their video. So I’m still not sold, sorry.
@@jeffreygore55not saying there's not some crazy shit up in those mountains, stuff I wouldn't wanna run into late at night by myself, and I'm not calling this man's a liar but maybe enhanced the story a bit, still enjoyed it and I wouldn't wanna be out there by myself!

My Mother from eastern Kentucky and youngest of 11 children. I heard these stories all my life. She never lied to me and she believed and described these "people" as a personal experience for her in the mountain's. I lost mother two months ago and I laid her to rest with my Farther. She was 98 years old at the time of her death. I used to laugh with her as she had that litany of the mountain cultural still in her voice and certain phrases only heard in the Appalachian Mountains.
My mamma too, Canada,KY one of 14. Born in 41 gone 35 years next Month, left me with a eighth yr old Brother, remember Going back in the Haller to see pees Live with no electric on dirt floors make you Greatful.
I’ve roamed all over the Western NC Mts. Since the 1960s. I’ve seen the able People in numerous occasions. I was never threatened. They keep to themselves and just stare at you while you move on. Never look them in the eye.
There were many, especially Appalachian people who resisted the government and civilization at the turn of the 20th century, Appalachian people have always loved and never wanted to live anywhere else. The mountains have every resource in abundance that humans and animals alike need to thrive. The Indians here in the North Carolina Appalachian mountains retreated into those hills only to disappear and stay undetected, if they did it for well over 100 years, then so could original Appalachian settlers who refused to conform or relinquish their land. It wont stop me from 1day taking off on the trail, however, i believe in being completely respectful to the the land would serve almost if not more efficiently than a firearm, which I'll 100% have that too. If they've been there this long, they'll move through the thicket like a ghost, they'll know where youll be a few hours later before you even know. At any time they could easily drop you, arrows are silent, if something is going to happen then something is going to happen, I believe if you respect it, and their space you'll have a better chance rather than if you want to investigate things you see or hear, or if you want to blaze your own trail. I absolutely believe in them, and like the rest of us, a little respect when in their everyday habitat will go a long way, but thats my belief, you can try your own way
I'll have to agree with you on that! Does make ya wonder just how many are there though don't it!? Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
@@JaredKingTV Considering those that go missing in the National Parks are maybe the new blood they need to continue their kind, there could be hundreds of them, if not thousands in those mountains. The Appalachian Mountains go for 2,000 miles in length, and I'm sure there are many folk in those mountains that don't want to be found. Are they all feral? I don't think so, but, I believe there are pockets of the feral folk deep in those woods.
@@hukedonfonix1671 my thoughts exactly you leave them alone they'll leave you alone they're not there to harm you if that was the case it would have already happened not to mention you would never know it
Thank you for sharing Jared. Thank you to the officer who sent the story in. This story makes one wonder what else could be out there deep in the Appalachian mountains. God Bless you and all the kinfolk
Glad the officer made it out okay. I would never leave my duty firearm in the vehicle. Always in my holster. There are things that go on, mainstream Media never reports. I believe these feral people are there, slowly dying out.
I absolutely love listening to you tell stories. Your voice is soothing. Not to mention, you also sound so much like my brother who passed a little over a year ago. I miss him every day. You help me keep his memory so vivid in my mind. I just wanted to thank you for that. You're a blessing to my heart. ❤

Thanks Jared to you and Mr. X. I live in eastern NC. We have some large wooded areas here . Many times while hunting alone and with others i have suddenly gotten that feeling that someone or something was watching. Twice it turned out to be another hunter and once a black bear but the rest of the times i never figured out what or who it was. Whenever i'm in the woods or a large city i keep my senses on high alert.
Loooordy brother ain't no tellin what the rest of the feelins was but definitely makes a feller wonder don't it! Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!

I'm nobody special ma'am just a random reader of your posting. I live in Tennessee as well. Best advice I can give you is take your petitions of need to the Lord Jesus. He will hear you, and do for you much better than any of us can.
Yes , Ray only barks and doesn’t know how to use a toilet, he just goes in his pants. And his deceased brother who looked just like him I don’t think spoke either. And Timmy, the nephew barely speaks. His mother doesn’t either. But the sister who does speak and basically takes care of all of them tells a story of when Ray was young and disappeared for a couple days. She laughs and says he found a young girl or woman in the woods somewhere and “had his way with her”. Can you imagine being attacked and r@ped by a “feral”, inbred man who only barks and is as scary looking as Ray is. I’d die of a heart attack. It’s not the Whittaker childrens fault, but their parents were first cousins from a set of twin brothers, so more like half siblings. Most of them are severely retarded but a few are somewhat normal. But what a bunch. Before they were discovered my Mark Leota people really feared them.
I believe this story 200% cause of stories I's told when I was younger. I've lived in the mountains my entire life and heared alot of things that I'm not going to ever say ain't true cause why would my elders make the stories up. Feral people lived amongst us as a kid cause I remember an old man that would come down from a holler that was a creek when it rained. He lived in an old shanty and that was his home until he died. He would come out long enough to get jars of peanut butter and I'm guessing that's pretty much what he lived on although people was always giving him stuff and he had a bad odor that could be unbearable at times. Even when people would try cleaning him up he still had that odor. Everyone called him Herb and I don't remember if he could talk. He had a scruffy like way of speaking that I didn't understand... He'd come to church every now and then. I didn't think it was right when they preached about love thy neighbor and treat others good but when 1 of the men at the church asked ol Herb to leave it was upsetting for the man and I saw hurt in the man's eyes, I instantly lost interest in church people and got in trouble with my mother cause I brung it up and I even said something to the female pastor and I reckon the decon of the church. Needless to say I was shunned and nobody liked me but I didn't mind cause they all had more than 1 face. At least 4 faces is what I saw of em. I'm guessing I'll end this but I believe alot of Feral people live in the mountains of Wva but so far out that we may never see em but I'm sure their out there somewhere and you haven't lived until you find the highest mountain in the Kanawha Valley and climb all the way to the top at a place called Alloy Wva. The mountain has a flat rock at the top and you can see for miles and miles of wilderness and miles of community's in all 4 directions. Me and my brother climbed the mountain back in the mid or early 70s and I'm so happy that we did cause it's the most amazing thing I think I've ever seen and done..
Brilliant story... Love it... I remember congolian "christians" 3 day exorcism seminar ( yu never know )) total shan cons... But they asked us to move down the back to let " better" people use the closer seats.. pack o dickheads.. money scam
What he's describing is the holy spirit warning him ive had the same thing happen to me many times when danger was so close. It's his connection to god that saved him from danger.
Excellent story! Their deformities & inabilities to speak sound like they’re highly interbred. Which makes sense from their way of living. They may even be cannibals & that’s why so many hikers have disappeared over the decades. Even in the deep wooded areas in the mountains of Arkansas there are semi feral families that are flat scary.
Howdy Vicki! Yeah I agree! I definitely believe they're part of the reason for hikers going missing due to cannibalism. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
@@anntunaley9974 I've seen the Whitaker family, they're a little slow from inbreeding, but far from feral, they went to public school, live in houses and speak English. Not what this video is referring to
So glad you enjoyed it brother! Yeah I always wondered that too. When he went that in I was like... That makes so much sense lol. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
Thanks X for sharing, Thank you for your service, as a Park Ranger, , , no wonder all those people gone missing, thanks Brother Jared for sharing, I do believe it, with that said, Jimmy needs to investigate ❤
Hey brother!! Amen to that! Yeah would make a good'n for him wouldn't it. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
WOW Jared that was a really scary experience. Like I said many times there's things in these mountains that can't be explained. Most are things we don't what t ever see. Thanks so much for sharing this my brother. God bless and stay safe.
Hey brother thank you so much for watching and enjoying Donnie. Amen brother they's things in these ole hills that will never be explained. God bless you my awesome mountain brother 🙏
Some myths exist about the Appalachian mountains, folklore and hearsay. I live in the Blue ridge mountains. There's possibility some truth to this man's story. But I have also met some of the kindest, humble and loving folks in the hills. They would give you the shirt off their back and share with you whatever food they could offer. These mountains are beautiful and hold a lot of rich history.
Yes there is definitely some people living in a heavely densed part of the mountains that never interacted with the outside world and don't have the benefit of hygiene products Imagine that. Very sad story May God touch their hearts
man, ive seen legit unbelievable things in the forest throughout the years , and this is in indiana all over it had this happened. Now I do have schizophrenia, but the thing is im aware when im hallucinating. ive seen what I called a wearwolf, but no human form, and this things eyes glowed red, and was the biggest dor form animal ive ever seen. now lets get to the juicy one, I truly 100% believe this is a skin walker, and its been following me for about 5 years now. I moved back here to indiana a few years back, and was at rum village trails, and was blasting, as fast as I could possibly ride, and had headphones in. now I play ALOT of shooters, and my eyes see out the peripherals really well. soo im blasting this trail, our my left periphal, I see this white figure running as fast as im riding, about 100 feet from me in direct parallel to the direction I was going. I legit started to freak the living F out, I just started screaming leave me tf alone!! then proceeded to say, listen you dont wanna change into me, my life is straight trash it legit aint worth it. it smelled like PURE SULFUR, and ROTTING EGGS. this thing was a humanoid figure, and it had not genitalia, no eye sockets, nothing was a white humanoid. It made this weird chittering noise somehow though. eventually I made it to the road, ive seen it there a few times since, and its usually far away. now at potatoe creek state park in indiana, ive had a encounter with that exact same humanoid creature, it started chasing me hella deep into the mtb trails. but this time it got aggressive, and started through sticks at me that was pretty freaking big, and I was seeing this whiz past the left side of my fullface. thats when I lost it dudes, I started screaming for help, started screaming im gonna unalive it, started saying just face me 1 to 1, why do you always gotta be so far away I dont understand. eventually got ahold of a friend who was there with me, he was helping our mentally challenged friend jimme riding on flat trains cause he is mentally slow. got him on the phone, and was legit almost in tears, telling him it was chasing me again! ive seen this thing maybe 5-8ish times now in the past 5 years. now, the other weird thing I though it could be, was someone from the future using a cloaking device, and cant show themselves but are watching me, but then that poses the question as to "why" would that person be doing that to start with. who cares about me im just a nobody. also about the feral people in TN, I know a girl, we will call her K, and she is about 34ish, and her family came from the ferals, and inbreds, and I swear she told me all this on my mothers grave, and about everything ive said. on my late mothers grave, I give everyone my word im being 100% truthful, and very honest about my reactions. K also explained to me her feral family lived deep deep deep in the tn mountains, and that a certain part of their entire family is pure "incest", and that mothers , brothers, fathers, sisters, aunts, uncles didnt matter everyone was game. she said she refuses to speak or even really mention them cause they are such a nightmare to her. I still ride alot in the trails, and im glade ive not seen this walker thing lately, im legit terrified to not ride without a go pro on now, like if im by myself, the go pro is legit on. its like the moments I turn them off it all goes away. I did have this weird footage but lost it from like a year or two ago, where my hallucinations started, and I was in the woods, and was like "if I publish this" someone please tell me you see this thing standing in the woods etc. but I was tripping because , it was like instant fear, panic, anxiety, that super deep gut feeling something is off, and or wrong. always trust your gut, and your dog people. have a good one, sorry this was so long.
I live up in North Wilkesboro NC, before I became paralyzed I used to drive all through back woods and car camp hill and dale. There are definitely interesting folk up off the Appalachian trail. Mind you that goes all the way up North. I definitely seen a thing or two in New York State Forest system as well. But I'll tell you what... don't knock that mountain medicine they use. There's folk magic 🪄 and healthier stuff than big pharma is pushing.
My dad's ancestors came from the Kentucky mountains and I never heard about the hills being said of what they did expect moonshine. They mostly moved to Missouri all around. As a kid seeing and meeting dad's kin, they are still hillbilly as they come. I have a hillbilly accent that people think I am from avalanches. I'm from the Ozarks.
This is one of your best yet! Have listened to it several times, and the editing of the story and the pictures could not have been better. Keep up the great work!
They’re everywhere in the secluded areas of many states, In Iowa 1987 I had a “family of 3” walk under my deer stand in a crik bottom before first light on a cold late October morning & I near crapped myself
Just found your channel - great video! I'd like to say that I do appreciate your courteous manner (don't see or hear much of that anymore) - you're a breath of fresh air in a very stagnate world. I've long been a believer in live and let live - even when it somewhat spooks me out of my comfort zone. Thank you - and I'll be back to hear and see your next video. 🙏💖
Hi Colleen! It sure is a blessing to have you watching and enjoying! Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 💙 God bless you and welcome to the channel and welcome to the family 🙏
Well this was back in the late 1980s but, who knows... May still be some around! Other Folks in the comments have talked about it 😔 Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
Amen to that brother! The things I've seen and heard in the mountains.. ain't no way id say that's impossible ya know!? Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless and have a good'n 🙏
I've been deep into portions of the Pennsylvania Appalachian mountains and have seen and heard my fair share of spooky things. The feral people are always on my mind when I've gone deep into the woods and I've found what looks like hand made tools out there stuck in trees. My great aunt and uncle used to tell us some pretty scary stories about their times growing up in the woods. Gave me major chills.
You did a good job with the graphics in the video, creepy, scary, realistic enough to be believed, and matched the narration perfectly. It really drew me in to the story.
I wonder if these feral people are cannibals as well? They eat wild vegetation and animals, but don’t farm? Nobody knows!? Crazy shit! The more crazy stuff I hear about these parks, I’ll take the paved scenic routes and stay in my car thank you!
I live in the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee and I've seen some things out here that I only shared with close friends and family that know me enough to know I'm serious about it. I believe this mans story and it's the reason I always carry when I go hiking and I never go hiking alone anymore
@@JaredKingTV Well hello neighbor! 👋 Thank you for the video! I look forward to checking out the rest of your channel after randomly stumbling across this one 😁 Stay safe out there, stay blessed! Until next time 🙂

I’ve heard of Mountain people, who live in out lying hills. Not the forest that you described They live in the mountains around us. My grandmother called them spirit people. People have chosen to leave civilization and live alone away from everybody. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. We all make decisions that affect our lives, and they have the same right as I have in their decisions. of the lifestyle they want to live. Grandmother showed me some evidence of her spirit people had been, but she never did teach me to be afraid of them. I never saw them but that was over 60 years ago. Are they still there? I don’t know I have moved away from that area. But this story reminded me of the mountain people/the spirit people. I was not taught to fear them, and they weren’t known for their destructive nature.
Oh hey that's really neat! Truly a different outlook on them for sure and with all the harsh things people say about them it's definitely a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for sharing that 😁🙏 Also, hank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
I believe you 100% I'm 65 years old I've been hunting since I've been 15 and I've heard things in the woods that I cannot explain never been able to see anything but have heard some sounds that absolutely made my hair stand up weird sounds that was not normal sounds that I'm used to hearing in the woods it scared me so bad that I put my back against the tree and took the safety off my gun fully expecting to have something run in on me once it got daylight I went down to the area and inspected it really really good for the sound was coming from found nothing out of the ordinary nothing that looked out of place everything looked just normal like it should have at the bottom of the hollow was a sinkhole that I was not going to try to explore but it's only thing I can figure out still don't know till this day and this was at Taylorsville lake Briar ridge in Kentucky only about a half a mile from the parking area as the crow flies so it ain't like that I was way back in the woods someplace I've been there too but I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary I will say one thing I did find a lot of old stills and still sites at Land between the lakes and strangely enough a lot of abandoned cars that actually there was no way to get them to where they were I still ain't figured it out to this day how they got there cuz there was most definitely no roads out there up into them woods and then the cars would be down into a Holler and you can tell they just been shoved off the cliff down into the hollow and to be left there but like I said I ain't figured out how they got them up there a lot of the Stills were actually pretty close to intact except for a few axe holes in the sides of them no submarine still just pot stills most of them look to be around 30 gallons give or take 5 gallons
We were camping &I heard a loud scary (continuous inhuman )cry off in the distance for quite a while… I plugged my ears & prayed hard for peace to that creature…. 😢
Jared, I know for a fact these people are real and dangerous! I think that what happened to Dennis Martin can be traced back to feral people! Just look at how many agents ended up taking their own lives! How many people have disappeared in these mountains never to be seen or heard from again!?!? Love your stories and you guys,,,,, Patricia Gambino Harrington
As a kid growing up in Tn they talked about these people quite a bit and as the older i got you rarely heard anyone speak about them, but was always warned to avoid certain areas.
Sounds like that show on Hulu called “Outsiders” I guess you can say it sparked my interest in these type of folks. My grandma used to talk about these people her daddy told her as a girl back in the 30’s we were supposedly kin to that lived up in the mountains that she said great grandpa called feral folk. I wish I could have pressed more on finding out who and where there were, I bet that would have been crazy as hell!
I grew up close to gatlinburg Tennessee and I’ve heard some crazy stories like this my whole life. I believe it to be true. Even the people that live outside of town on the edge of the mountains seem like they’re from the early 1900’s. Pretty wild.
Hey Jared This was an absolutely amazing story. I sure believe this story there are things out you cant explain and somethings you dont want to explain just know they are there So glad this officer was able to tell his story and to the officer thank you for your courageous service Jared blessins to you and your family Love ya bunches
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm with you on this, although I have not seen it! I have not vacationed in the Smokys for decades, but I do frequent another area that has extremely remote pockets of land, and is not tremendously popular with tourists. There are reports there, although the stories don't just jump right out at you. There might be a commonality between these feral people and "Big Foot". I am grateful you are deeply spiritual, I share your belief that angels were with you.
I grew up in east Tennessee near the Smokey Mountains and NC border. Everyone knew about ferral malungians. Not many left these days but I went to school with a couple descendants. Appalachia used to be a wild place. Not so much anymore with all the rich folks that destroyed the area with houses.
WOW!! 😯 This is a true story?? I can believe it because I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of WV. I was "privileged" enough to be exposed to many mountain cultures that most don't get to see. Thanks to my father, who unfortunately passed away when I was 19. But never quite heard of such feral people. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Ramona! The gentleman that submitted it swears it's very real. I grew up in the TN mountains so I can honestly say...the mountains do have some strange things in them as I'm sure you know too. Sorry you lost your father 😔 may he rest in peace 🕊️🙏 thank you so much for watching. God bless
I live in the Ozarks, and the stories around here can be very similar--I guess hill country is much the same everywhere. Our homestead is next door to Mark Twain National Forest near Hercules Glade Wilderness where I frequently walk with my dogs in the forest, sometimes on old logging tracks but more often just taking deer trails. Over the last 32 years, I have several times had that same eerie feeling this guy describes, and when it happens, I always notice that my dogs stick closer to me and everything goes eerily quiet (even birds and insects stop making noise). The feeling of being watched is palpable. Once, near an old forest pond (probably scooped out by rangers for a water source because it's near a spot that used to have a fire lookout tower on it decades ago) I even found a place that someone had hollowed out under the roots of a big tree on a steep slope. The roots had been cut and the interior of the little cave-like space was charred to get rid of rootlets hanging down. It was smoothed out and large enough to sit down in--like a cozy, rounded chair, sort of egg-shaped. Someone could easily sit in there and not be seen at all unless you approached from down slope and walked up directly under the spot. Another time, I surprised someone at the same forest pond when I approached without making as much noise as usual. I didn't see whoever it was, but I smelled him from about 150' away and spoke to my dogs about the stench. I'm sure it was the sound of my voice that made him leave in such a hurry that he left behind a ratty old scrap (about 12" x 18") of foam cushion (the sort of closed cell foam people use for putting under a sleeping bag) under a group of cedar trees a few feet from the pond. I always took my dogs to that spot for a drink on hot days when the creeks went dry, so I would have known if that bit of foam had been there previously--especially since I have been in the habit of walking 3 to 10 miles or so in that area almost every single day and had been there just the previous day. I could hear something moving fast down the hill on the other side of the embankment around the pond, but by the time I got around to where I could look down the slope, there was no one in sight. Anyway ... just two examples of the many anecdotes I could tell. I am familiar with my woods for miles around and I almost always have dogs with me, but for people who don't know what's what in the woods ... my advice is to stay in the city and don't venture too far out in the Ozark hills.
This reminds me when we went to the Great Smoky Mtn state park. A lot of the hiking gave me the creeps, I think it was because the forest was so thick and dense, we couldn’t see a foot in front of us in some areas. It is beautiful though.
A long time ago I read about how feral people in the mountains were 'culled' from time to time if their numbers became too many and they began to bother the civilized people... thought it was a fantasy but now I wonder. Thanks for this video
Dang that's WILD! Yeah just goes to snow ya that ya never know what seems fiction... May be fact! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
Ive gone camping alone before and camped near house that was probably built pre civil war era with no power or water running in and thought i was alone until i sat up my tent and got inside and heard gunshits firing i suppose warning me and i then yelled out, if you want me to leave just say so, if not just keep wasting your fucking bullets....no one ever replied back so i drifted off ti sleep like a baby in fact, knowing i wasnt alone out there but not really giving a fuck either thanks to my eye in the sky, God always has my back....and i feel clisest to Him in ANY woods alone in my tent...this story has sparked a great interest in becoming a forest or park ranger..thanks man!
I’ve lived in my part of the mid Atlantic region of the Appalachian Hills area all of my 51 years of life and I’ve heard noises many times mountain biking along two Lane highways during daytime hours and all hours throughout the night and I ride a lot of single lane paved roads anytime from dark to daylight as well but I have never seen or heard anything to bothersome but then again I’m not worried or afraid of anything either. there has been a few times out mountain biking that I have came across people walking either on the back roads or in the woods along those same types of roads that would make me a little suspicious But never worried or anything and I always continue on my way but I have seen things at times also that would scare a lot of people

No these are true stories. I know a family who had a ranger as her father. Quite interesting and sad at the same time

I was raised in the upper peninsula of mich. We had a hard packed dirt floor and an outhouse until 1977. We lived mostly on fishing and hunting. Never had any license and no one ever asked for one. We barely went to school. I tested in the 90th percentile for my GED. We read a lot. No tv no phone. My brother still lives up there in the family cabin. I’m 62 now. I had a great childhood.
That's awesome! Ain't nothing like a good mountain life. I've lived the exact same way. Makes ya appreciate the finer things in life and even everyday things we now take for granted don't it. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n

We moved to a suburb from the mountains recently, and hopefully, we'll get used to it. My youngest son, his wife, and my grandkids still live up there, so we do get back from time to time. Sure do miss it!
@@renastone1270 we never had structured learning. We would read books and talk about them at dinner. Math was a competition. I remember my dad teaching me PI. He asked me how to get square footage out of a water tower. Then explained PI. Application is the way to teach math.
I've lived in the deep Appalachia all of my life. I knew some people who kept to themselves pretty much. In Appalachia, you have only two types of people, your friends or your worst enemies. Here, you build respect through kindness, and enemies are made by too much drinking. So if you come, be nice or don't come here at all.
That's how most folks are in the mountains for sure. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
It is a whole different world in those hills. Most people traveling through Kentucky might travel south on I-75 and they are fairly safe. However if you wander too far into the deep forests, then you are in an entirely different world. I too was born there but grew up elsewhere. Even though I have many relatives there I have not been back for many years and would be considered "an outsider". It is a beautiful land though and I have fond memories of my childhood.

You don't have to go to Appalachia, there are 500,000 feral people in Baltimore. The difference is, they can't survive without tax payer assistance.
That is a lie that they need money assistance to survive there is a lack of jobs in the whole USA and after the pandemic it got worse, we have homeless all over Europe too. 😢
@FreyaVanBuren-go8qn You are the liar. I see 500k of them roaming the streets of DC and Baltimore everyday like zombies. There are jobs for people who WANT to work. There are criers, and there are doers. Those who cry live off the taxes of the doers. I have never been on public assistance and would be ashamed of myself if I was. I agree, some people need help, but it is TEMPORARY, NOT A LIFESTYLE.
and Biden is letting in millions more, just so they can stay in power
And it continues in every democratic ran state or town in the country.

I moved to Southern Appalachia 15 years ago from suburbia Atlanta. I personally know people who live a subsistence way of life. No heat or air, no electricity. Never went to school, grow all of their food. They sell some of their produce for money. But, probably live off of $500 or less per year. Conversations are difficult, there speech is very different and their life experiences are profoundly different.
I know some too but I bet they burn firewood to keep warm during the winter. They call it heater wood and us outsiders as flat landers.

I've lived in Appalachiaa all my life and I've never seen them up close but back when I was 14 years old I came face to face with the dog man he stalked me from up on a ridge line above me for about 3 hours and tried to mimic my steps I couldn't smell him at all because he was up above me I was hiking up this long drawl at the bottom was about 80 feet high cliffs on both sides and I was hiking from the bottom to the top ok and when i was 3 quarters to the top the cliffs was still a good 12 to 15 feet high above my head and I'm 6 foot 2 inches tall 200 pounds ok and that's the first time I heard it so I thought nuthing of it other then a squirrel or deer run off that I would of liked to off seen ok so I kept on climbing hiking ok well about another 8 or 10 steps I heard it again and somthing was off like it was a mistake noise I've spent all my hole life running these woods and river bottoms right so I knew that it was trying to mimic my steps or even more scarier hunting me ok so a few more steps and I hear this thing take off about the time the top of my head clears this sharp cliff and I would be able to see except just a few feet in from the edges it's covered with so thick brush that you couldn't possibly get through it so I make my way to the top of this draw finally ok and it's about a 4 foot drop ok from the ground dropping in to this draw ok and the brush was so thick that it was keeping me from standing up so I knew that I was going to have to crawl out of it how ever far it was that thick like that so I'm getting ready to put one leg up on the top of the draw to climb out but I'm hunched down to a crawl position and I heard the God awfulest loudest noise right in front of me came busting through the brush now this is green briers big as round as your thumb and trees as big as round as your wrist like spider webs and this thing monster busted through all that and was right in my face his face was face to face with mine it started growling the scariest growling I've ever heard till this day and I'm 46 years old now and it turned and tore off up through the brush busting Trees like tooth picks up the rest of the mountain and down the other side ok and the only reason that I can think of that it didn't take my life was because I believe that it's smart enough to know that if it did more of my kind would come looking for me back there and it didn't want that and I think and believe that it had a family just over the top and down the other side of the mountain that it was trying to protect that's what I think so well my name is Warren Brumfield and that's what happened to me back when I was 14 years old
Glad you're alive Warren, that's quite an experience.
@gointothedogs4634 thank you ill never forget it I had a black bear that I was rasing at the time for a pet and his teeth fangs were about a size and a half bigger then my black bears teeth I only live about a half a mile down the road from where I grew up and still to thus day I've heard howl at nights over the years
What an absolutely terrifying experience for you to have. Did it haunt your dreams afterwards?

Wood boogers are Sasquatch not feral people. An old man when he was a kid told the story about he went fishing with his grandpa and he left his grandpa left his lunch on the edge of the woods while they went down and went fishing. The boy asks his Grandpa Grandpa Grandpa why are you leaving or lunch on the edge of the woods. Is grandpa said I'm leaving them for the hairy people. All the sudden he made a whistling sound and said come to the top of the hill and look over but don't go down. The boy said there was a several of what he would say were Sasquatch. Is grandpa said this is the way I communicate with them and I always leave them alone at the edge of the woods so they know we're not aggressive. One of the creatures had a gray patch of hair on his back. Well they done this for years and Grandpa would always take him to the cafe after fishing and they would have a hamburger. Don't tell your grandma about this. He asked his grandfather as they were looking at them what are they called grandpa. He said folks call them boogers or wood boogers. Well they would see these creatures every time they went fishing Grandpa would make the special whistle. Many years later he went to the same area where him and his grandpa went fishing of course by now his grandpa was dead. The boy had a sack lunch that he left at the edge of the woods and then done the whistle that his grandpa had told him about. He said he saw them literally come up to the bag and get the lunch and since he whistled like the grandpa one of the creatures was looking around as if looking for the old man. He said and I know why it was the same creature with the gray patch on his back that I saw so many years before. He said he was looking for Grandpa they were friends of sort. Grandpa told him around that area they were common knowledge but mostly The Men who were out in the fields or in the woods are the ones that have seen them. Every time he comes to that area of the woods he said he leaves a lunch and whistles so they can know that they have food on the edge of the woods. It's kind of a horror story to believe but it is a feel-good story.
What a cool story. Cought myself saying awww when reading that he was looking around for the grandfather. Thnks for telling the story good read
I like this story!
Awesome ❤
Absolutely NO reason to leave your duty weapon in the vehicle. Especially working by yourself. That's the most difficult part of the story!
As a LEO, I cant agree more.
As a retired LEO I agree too. Thirty years on the job & NEVER left my duty weapon in the cruiser unless I was in the booking room w/a prisoner. No guns allowed in the booking area so it went in the trunk, but the car was in a secured area.
Agreed a 100% first thing I thought, especially after the first encounter
I agree, maybe but didn't seem right, that would be the first thing I made sure of when I exited the vehicle
I think the most difficult part of the story is seeing a bit of slobber from 300 yards!
I'm a trucker, and I remember in CDL class our instructor who had 20+ years experience in the industry said this, "if your in the mountains or rural area, and you break down, NEVER EVER get out of the rig unless it's on fire!!"
I never forgot that. I've only been trucking 6 years, and I'll tell ya, there are "things" out there in the Appalachia, Pocono, Blue Ridge, Ozark areas. Honestly, feral people would be the least of my worries.
It only took about 60-90 days and a few dozen trips over the mountains to sum them up with the 3Ms...Majestic, Mysterious, and Murderous. Aye, don't be ignorant of their beauty.
Amen, there's things out there that just want to be left alone, it's best to just be safe, Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
If a bear dont get you...bigfoot might very wise of you to be careful
In the Appalachian mountains if you were to have problems breaking down, most people would help. I'd be more wary of the people who told you this when you got your CDL's! 😂😂😂
Total crap!
@@susancantrell9266 Say's who?
**Y O U ? ?**
What’s interesting about (you BS flag-throwing people) & your rampant alcoholism, is that just a few years before the infamous potato famine, Ireland was the site of a massively successful temperance campaign led by the noted Catholic priest, Theobald Mathew. So successful was this campaign that between 1838 and 1841, their national alcohol consumption was cut in half.
That’s where the legend of hills have eyes come from, there are many levels of isolation in the Appalachians. My granny had stories.
Do you know any? Please enlighten us!
People think the film 'Deliverance' was fictional, it wasn't, it was a documentary!
Actually that's incorrect we have cannibals in the Mojave desert, and they also are in as far as Grand canyon and the four corners there are caves in the Grand canyon that are quartered off by the government because cannibals still live in there.
And Michael berryman who is the bald guy that rides the motorcycle was actually my neighbor when I lived in Palmdale California
I would love to hear your Granny's stories. I love to listen to a storyteller. Maybe you talk to her about recording her stories and sharing them.😊
@@neilfoster814 That movie bothered me for years! I seen that movie in my late twenties and I am 65 now.
I come from southeast Texas. We have similar stories and I’ve had similar feelings. I used to go fishing in some sloughs that were way off the beaten path on the Neches river. My dad would tell me to watch out for river rats. My dad liked to drink and he had a smirk on his face so I brushed it off. One day I was way back off the river in a slough I’d never seen before and there was an old flood ravaged hut. Didn’t think much as there was a lot of them out there. The stench of rotting fish was overwhelming. I glanced the paddle of the side of the canoe and 4 dirty men came outta that hut , screaming bloody murder! One of ran at the water and jumped in, swimming my direction. I think I left a rooster tail behind me, I didn’t wait around. Scared the ever livin outta me. Went back with my Dad and some friends and that shack was pushed over in the water and no sign of those folks. Whenever I’d fish that slough, I’d leave one on the bank by that shack. Never found any bones or rotted fish….
Dang that's wild!! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n

That goes right along with what my father told me. Sometime before my father died, I asked him what part his people took during the Civil War. Did they side with the North, side with the South, or did they split apart and go to both sides? His answer was, "None of them." They took back the old ways (the Cherokee ways), what they needed, and went so deep into the woods that nobody knew they were out there." "They stayed out there long after the war was over; and, then they returned to what was left of their land and homes." The History books I studied in Public Schools never stated one word about people going feral before, during, and after the Civil War. Things did not go smoothly for a long while after they returned; but, they stayed with the so-called Civilized World. Other people stayed feral. Please note: Daddy did not tell me this part of his family's history until I asked for it. I would have never learned this, if I had not asked. What is scary to me is that some of those feral people still living out there in the woods may be kin to me. Daddy is the name I was taught to call my father.
Loooord that's WILD sister!!! Who knows it's very possible. I'm glad you thought to ask him! Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
Yes ma'am that could possibly be so
Im glad that you asked your Daddy
The history books leave out alot of things sad to say.
I was taught to call my Daddy.
God bless ya
Take care
Heck we have feral people in the Sierra Nevada in California
I called him Daddy also.
Years ago, in the mountains of Vermont, I saw people who looked feral. I'll never forget them.
When I was a kid growing up in the mountains of E. Tennessee we called them Haints. One night when I was in high school in the 70s, deep in the woods, cross country skiing on a one way motor nature trail in the National Park that was closed, literally in the middle of no where, 30 miles from any civilization, we came across a set of footprints in the 6" deep snow crossing the road. The tracks came out of the woods, crossed the road, and went down the hill. Boy did we start booking it down that road to get out of there as fast as we could. We figured it was either big foot or a Haint and we weren't staying around to find out which one. Absolutely true, there is "something" out there.
Loooord I don't blame y'all a BIT!!! Dang that's wild!! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
Tracks could have been bigfoot tracks as they are all over the TN> WVA, KY, and VA area.
Soon as I read the word "Haint", I tapped on the thumbs up. In the backwoods of Arkansas, I have relatives there too, they talk about 'Haints', I think I had an experience with one or more of them. I believe they can sense whether you have love or hate in your heart and if they sense the love is there they won't harm you, I truly believe that. Thank you for your story too. I'm 75 years old and I was 15 years old when I had the experience I just told you about. God Bless you and all your loved ones.
I always heard haints were ghosts! Huh
My dad is from East Tennessee (Greenville) and he called them Cutchaws! 😂
Bc if you ever came across one they would CutYall!
I remember going with my mom and dad to Loretta Lynns homestead, and i dont remember if dad got lost or if we really did have to travel on the road we were on, that didnt seem much like a road. Dirt and grass, like a trail with car tracks from long being traveled on. And we passed some of the most intimidating people on their shack porches. This cabin like shack i dont think had running water or electric. And the old man was sitting in his chair with a rifle in his hand and just watched us drive by. Dad said he wont hurt anybody, if you just leave him alone.
@julieniles4750 Omg this Canadian went through the exact same thing with my parents back in 1982 when they wanted to go see Loretta Lynns homestead as well, dad got lost and i remember the dirt grass road, the hillbilly shack with the chair in the front porch and the dude with the gun... I wonder if it was the exact same family of hillbillies that you encountered.. quite possible after all it's a small world.
I live on the far southwest edge of "Appalachia", which has been occupied by more civilized people, including the aboriginal Cherokees and Chickasaws. Sure enough, as you move eastward into the mountains, you will encounter more and more people whose speech is almost indecipherable (Hill Country dialect), and sometimes you will get a whiff of somebody's lack of hygiene. To say it's the odor of "deal animal carcass" is a bit mild. I have literally detected them well before I could see them, sometimes even from inside or outside buildings.
Yes, venturing into the true backwoods, you will notice a change in demeanor among the locals -- they act like you're not welcome. But if you know how to engage them, everything will be alright. Most of them are very kind.
Well known among folks in the mountains, don't be out alone in the hills after dark. Keep your doors locked especially after dark. Most important, keep your mouth shut
Amen to that brother!!! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
Why keep your mouth shut? A few guys with level 4 armor AR-15 and they won’t have anything on them. The no fly zone is ridiculous. I would send a UAV scout the area.
@@johnevans1969 well you know what they say things in them woods to make a grown man cry Durham actually being patches of woods I've been in where does creepy feeling comes over me hard to explain but something in my brain in my body tells me it's time to go back the hell out of there and don't even get me talking about the old cemeteries that you come upon in the middle of the woods that shouldn't be there knowing that the old family cemeteries it makes you wonder show me the dates on the headstones from the early 1800s some people live 3 to 4 years some people live months it was actually sad to see the life expectancy back then there was no life expectancy you live to your dad whether it was 3 months 3 days or 90 years but the diversity of dates that people have died was extremely confusing kids going to show you they had nothing back then no medicine no health Care know nothing you got sick you died
@@CSIS-Spy you can't be that stupid do you really think they survived this long being stupid and not knowing how to hide you said anybody in there after them them people ain't coming back out that's their backyard you got no business there leave him alone when's the last time you heard of anything like that eating somebody or hurting somebody you don't because that's not what they're here for they just want to survive leave him alone myself if I saw one in the woods would I be scared hell yeah but I try to make contact with it hell yeah because I want to know if they were here to hurt us they would have did that a long time ago just remember they know them woods like you know your house experts at camouflage they be there you'd never know it leave it alone
I knew a guy who's cousin lived in e Kentucky, miles from his closest neighbor. One day he was out on his front porch smoking and drinking. Went in to get another beer, came out and his pack of cigarettes were gone within a matter of seconds. He said that's the problem with living here, someone is always watching!
Bigfoot was busting for a cig.
Bigfoot knew cigarettes were bad for him.
I interviewed a retired park ranger once and casually asked what he thought of the Dennis Martin case. He thought for a moment and answered, very quietly, "that boy was carried away." He ended the interview after that. I cannot say more.
I'm still disturbed by this story so very sad and tragic what happened to that little boy 😔 It could have been prevented also 😢 Watch Your Children!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The mtns swallow people whole. Thats just the truth of it.
I had never heard of this case, just went to read about it. That’s eerie.
I used to like to drive. And I used to like to drive through those mountains. Until the day I had to go down a jinky road to get some gas. Didn't have a choice. The car was on E. I was not making it off the mountain without gas. And I'm tellin ya. I've been to the ghetto. I lived in it. This place was way scarier. I have never had worse - I am NOT safe - vibes in my life. My brain was screaming - GET THE GAS AND LEAVE. DON'T LOOK AT ANYTHING. DON'T HANG AROUND. DON'T GET SNACKS OUT OF THE BACKSEAT! GET OUT! I got the gas and got my ass out of there. I don't know what the problem was with that place. Never went back. Drove 400 miles out of my way to not go back through whatever that was when I was going home several days later after spending some time on the coast. nopenopenope
Exactly! Drop me in Chicago before anywhere in those hills.
I was trying to read "nopenopenope" as a word lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All jokes aside thank you for sharing your story....
The exact same thing happened to me in Alabama. We went to the gas station to get gas and take a piss. I had to go real bad, I could not hold it. It was pitch black outside, but there were people at the station, and some were coming into the station. This must've been the towns main station because it was late, and it seemed like regulars were still coming at that time of night. I could tell they were selling more than gas there also. Drugs, I'm talking about drugs! The car parked at the pump next to us was talking to someone who worked there by the entrance door. He looked like a dusty, dirty scumbag type of dealer. Everyone there had this layer of dust and dirt overlaying their skin and clothes. When we got out of the car, it was as if time stood still when they saw us. All eyes were on us, I mean all eyes. They stopped their conversation and watched our every move. So, to be safe I told my spouse you stay in the car, I'll go in first after I come out then you go. And the place was a hole in the wall. I mean poor, poor, poor, dirty and ran down type of place. The people looked just as bad. I'd describe them exactly the same way im describing the gas station. They weren't ferral people, but that was the vibe.
We pulled off and got out of there as fast as we could. Then, the GPS took us driving through the town and it was the most backwoods, old rinky dink dirt roads, the homes were spread far and wide apart, it was pitch black, the entire area was creepy AF. Then, headlights from a distance were on us. You couldn't see anything except car lights from afar. I got so nervous. I'm please don't let one of these hillbillies start following us. We both were like we have to get out of this town.
We were praying to get to a main road. The headlights got up on us, but as soon as they got close enough, the car turned on one of those "no-name" roads. My heart was beating fast. We just kept driving, no stops.
About 30 mins after leaving that gas station, we crossed a railroad track. After doing that, we finally found a main road that put us back on the highway. We didn't make another stop until the sun came up.
On the way back home to the city we did not stop anywhere in Alabama in the night. We filled up the gas each time when the sun was up at places that looked safe, not in the black community "No offense" to anyone, and we went to no gas station that veered far off from the highway. Definitely was not going through that experience again.
Alabama is a different breed of folks until you get to their city. Then, it gets better and is tolerable.
@@cccentertainment8085 You might have found a worse town than I ever have. But yeah, if you can help it, don't stop anywhere at night, esp in rural areas. There are some places where civilization hasn't been in 3 or 4 generations.
I worked with NPS and USFS in parts of Appalachia and witnessed things I will never understand. It's a beautiful place but has some incidents that occur that never will be explained. I remember seeing back packers on parts of the trail and thinking to myself, These people have No Idea what they are getting themselves into...There are people who live out there that do not want to be seen or have any interaction with outsiders.
If you go there? Be careful
It's the same with the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. Some parts have never been explored and there are people who live out there and they are not very friendly.
Many years ago my mother's boss had been a "Revenoor"when he was young.He got lost in the mountains many times.He told a story about stumbling across a settlement of people way back in the woods.He could not understand them very well as they had thick Scots Irish accents
They showed him trunks of old Bibles dating back centuries and pieces of clothing and pieces of shoes that dated back to at least the 1700 and 1800s.He said they were sweet like children and totally gutless. Most of them had terrible deformities from inbreeding but he said they were like angels because they had not been "corrupted" by modern society.
They look like zombies
Man aint lying. My Mamaw married a coal miner and for few yrs lived in what now is knw as Big South Fork between Darrow Ridge and Zenith. She would tell stories of livestock and miners being taken and stories miners told of ferrel folks seen in hills and in mines. She would say they were worse than any nightmare could ever dream of . You would get chills and sick feeling when she told of such things . Which to my memory only happen twice in my life

WTF did you say?
This guy has the eyesight of a bald eagle if he can see the drool on a man's lip at 300 yards, incredible!
I thought that I heard the same thing! Yes I did, drool would be impossible to see at 300 yards without a very stable spotting scope. He said he was in his 50s. I’m a 53 yr old deer hunter and I know 2 things- how far 300 yds actually is and I couldn’t see spit on a man’s face at that distance without a $500 piece of equipment, that I would not be able to hold steady enough too see spit if it were there. Great story but hunters have had game cameras since the mid-90s and now everyone has GPS to go deep and back out again. Someone would have pictures by now. Right??? I think so. People will do anything to get a click on their video. So I’m still not sold, sorry.
@@jeffreygore55not saying there's not some crazy shit up in those mountains, stuff I wouldn't wanna run into late at night by myself, and I'm not calling this man's a liar but maybe enhanced the story a bit, still enjoyed it and I wouldn't wanna be out there by myself!

My Mother from eastern Kentucky and youngest of 11 children. I heard these stories all my life. She never lied to me and she believed and described these "people" as a personal experience for her in the mountain's. I lost mother two months ago and I laid her to rest with my Farther. She was 98 years old at the time of her death. I used to laugh with her as she had that litany of the mountain cultural still in her voice and certain phrases only heard in the Appalachian Mountains.
My mamma too, Canada,KY one of 14. Born in 41 gone 35 years next
Month, left me with a eighth yr old
Brother, remember
Going back in the Haller to see pees
Live with no electric on dirt floors make you
Greatful.
You were blessed to have your precious Mama in your life for so long. Mine has been gone close to 20 years and I still miss her stories so much.
I’ve roamed all over the Western NC Mts. Since the 1960s. I’ve seen the able People in numerous occasions. I was never threatened. They keep to themselves and just stare at you while you move on. Never look them in the eye.
Went to school in that region. What a God forsaken fecal hole. I'd never go back.
Who are the able people?
There were many, especially Appalachian people who resisted the government and civilization at the turn of the 20th century, Appalachian people have always loved and never wanted to live anywhere else. The mountains have every resource in abundance that humans and animals alike need to thrive. The Indians here in the North Carolina Appalachian mountains retreated into those hills only to disappear and stay undetected, if they did it for well over 100 years, then so could original Appalachian settlers who refused to conform or relinquish their land. It wont stop me from 1day taking off on the trail, however, i believe in being completely respectful to the the land would serve almost if not more efficiently than a firearm, which I'll 100% have that too. If they've been there this long, they'll move through the thicket like a ghost, they'll know where youll be a few hours later before you even know. At any time they could easily drop you, arrows are silent, if something is going to happen then something is going to happen, I believe if you respect it, and their space you'll have a better chance rather than if you want to investigate things you see or hear, or if you want to blaze your own trail. I absolutely believe in them, and like the rest of us, a little respect when in their everyday habitat will go a long way, but thats my belief, you can try your own way
I'll have to agree with you on that! Does make ya wonder just how many are there though don't it!? Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
@@JaredKingTV Considering those that go missing in the National Parks are maybe the new blood they need to continue their kind, there could be hundreds of them, if not thousands in those mountains. The Appalachian Mountains go for 2,000 miles in length, and I'm sure there are many folk in those mountains that don't want to be found. Are they all feral? I don't think so, but, I believe there are pockets of the feral folk deep in those woods.
@@hukedonfonix1671 my thoughts exactly you leave them alone they'll leave you alone they're not there to harm you if that was the case it would have already happened not to mention you would never know it
The problem with this is eventually there is in breeding which causes brain disfunction over time what was once a community could become a nightmare
Thank you for sharing Jared. Thank you to the officer who sent the story in. This story makes one wonder what else could be out there deep in the Appalachian mountains. God Bless you and all the kinfolk

Glad the officer made it out okay. I would never leave my duty firearm in the vehicle. Always in my holster. There are things that go on, mainstream Media never reports. I believe these feral people are there, slowly dying out.
I absolutely love listening to you tell stories. Your voice is soothing. Not to mention, you also sound so much like my brother who passed a little over a year ago. I miss him every day. You help me keep his memory so vivid in my mind. I just wanted to thank you for that. You're a blessing to my heart. ❤

Thanks Jared to you and Mr. X. I live in eastern NC. We have some large wooded areas here
. Many times while hunting alone and with others i have suddenly gotten that feeling that someone or something was watching. Twice it turned out to be another hunter and once a black bear but the rest of the times i never figured out what or who it was. Whenever i'm in the woods or a large city i keep my senses on high alert.

@@JaredKingTV oh ty. I am for sure honored to have some kinfolk. I get so depressed and lonely sometimes and the world is so cruel especially if you’re alone. People claim to be your friend but are not. I get used and it hurts so I have pretty much isolated myself away and do nothing but watch UA-cam when I am lonely. Especially love the older generation because if you had a friend then you knew you had a friend. I will continue to watch all your content. ❤️🙏🏼

Hi Betty. You're not alone. There's lots of us older folks with no family, but we get along as long as God protects us. Bless you.

I'm nobody special ma'am just a random reader of your posting. I live in Tennessee as well. Best advice I can give you is take your petitions of need to the Lord Jesus. He will hear you, and do for you much better than any of us can.
I can't explain in words how much i enjoy these stories. Keep up the great work, brother.
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n

Yes! 🎉
And stories they are. All bullshit
The animalistic communication reminds me of the Whittacker family of W. Va that has been featured on UA-cam.
Hey Thank you so much for watching. God bless and have a good'n
Kinda sad what went on in that family😢
Yes , Ray only barks and doesn’t know how to use a toilet, he just goes in his pants. And his deceased brother who looked just like him I don’t think spoke either. And Timmy, the nephew barely speaks. His mother doesn’t either. But the sister who does speak and basically takes care of all of them tells a story of when Ray was young and disappeared for a couple days. She laughs and says he found a young girl or woman in the woods somewhere and “had his way with her”. Can you imagine being attacked and r@ped by a “feral”, inbred man who only barks and is as scary looking as Ray is. I’d die of a heart attack. It’s not the Whittaker childrens fault, but their parents were first cousins from a set of twin brothers, so more like half siblings. Most of them are severely retarded but a few are somewhat normal. But what a bunch. Before they were discovered my Mark Leota people really feared them.

He finally gave them the boot for wasting the money, they got better cars & trucks than most of us.
@@BobbyTucker If he can stand it lol. He likes the one guy who barks a lot- so do I 😅
I believe this story 200% cause of stories I's told when I was younger. I've lived in the mountains my entire life and heared alot of things that I'm not going to ever say ain't true cause why would my elders make the stories up. Feral people lived amongst us as a kid cause I remember an old man that would come down from a holler that was a creek when it rained. He lived in an old shanty and that was his home until he died. He would come out long enough to get jars of peanut butter and I'm guessing that's pretty much what he lived on although people was always giving him stuff and he had a bad odor that could be unbearable at times. Even when people would try cleaning him up he still had that odor. Everyone called him Herb and I don't remember if he could talk. He had a scruffy like way of speaking that I didn't understand... He'd come to church every now and then. I didn't think it was right when they preached about love thy neighbor and treat others good but when 1 of the men at the church asked ol Herb to leave it was upsetting for the man and I saw hurt in the man's eyes, I instantly lost interest in church people and got in trouble with my mother cause I brung it up and I even said something to the female pastor and I reckon the decon of the church. Needless to say I was shunned and nobody liked me but I didn't mind cause they all had more than 1 face. At least 4 faces is what I saw of em. I'm guessing I'll end this but I believe alot of Feral people live in the mountains of Wva but so far out that we may never see em but I'm sure their out there somewhere and you haven't lived until you find the highest mountain in the Kanawha Valley and climb all the way to the top at a place called Alloy Wva. The mountain has a flat rock at the top and you can see for miles and miles of wilderness and miles of community's in all 4 directions. Me and my brother climbed the mountain back in the mid or early 70s and I'm so happy that we did cause it's the most amazing thing I think I've ever seen and done..
Thank you for your story
Give me a steel jungle anytime
Brilliant story... Love it... I remember congolian "christians" 3 day exorcism seminar ( yu never know )) total shan cons... But they asked us to move down the back to let " better" people use the closer seats.. pack o dickheads.. money scam
Must of been Methodist. I don’t think that would happen in a Pentecostal church.

Excellent story! Their deformities & inabilities to speak sound like they’re highly interbred. Which makes sense from their way of living. They may even be cannibals & that’s why so many hikers have disappeared over the decades. Even in the deep wooded areas in the mountains of Arkansas there are semi feral families that are flat scary.
Howdy Vicki! Yeah I agree! I definitely believe they're part of the reason for hikers going missing due to cannibalism. Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
Yes similar to the Whittaker family that mark Leota shows. They’re not cannibals but inbred and Ray is quite feral.
@@anntunaley9974 I've seen the Whitaker family, they're a little slow from inbreeding, but far from feral, they went to public school, live in houses and speak English. Not what this video is referring to

Some myths exist about the Appalachian mountains, folklore and hearsay. I live in the Blue ridge mountains. There's possibility some truth to this man's story. But I have also met some of the kindest, humble and loving folks in the hills. They would give you the shirt off their back and share with you whatever food they could offer. These mountains are beautiful and hold a lot of rich history.
Yes there is definitely some people living in a heavely densed part of the mountains that never interacted with the outside world and don't have the benefit of hygiene products
Imagine that. Very sad story

man, ive seen legit unbelievable things in the forest throughout the years , and this is in indiana all over it had this happened. Now I do have schizophrenia, but the thing is im aware when im hallucinating. ive seen what I called a wearwolf, but no human form, and this things eyes glowed red, and was the biggest dor form animal ive ever seen.
now lets get to the juicy one, I truly 100% believe this is a skin walker, and its been following me for about 5 years now.
I moved back here to indiana a few years back, and was at rum village trails, and was blasting, as fast as I could possibly ride, and had headphones in. now I play ALOT of shooters, and my eyes see out the peripherals really well. soo im blasting this trail, our my left periphal, I see this white figure running as fast as im riding, about 100 feet from me in direct parallel to the direction I was going. I legit started to freak the living F out, I just started screaming leave me tf alone!! then proceeded to say, listen you dont wanna change into me, my life is straight trash it legit aint worth it.
it smelled like PURE SULFUR, and ROTTING EGGS. this thing was a humanoid figure, and it had not genitalia, no eye sockets, nothing was a white humanoid. It made this weird chittering noise somehow though.
eventually I made it to the road, ive seen it there a few times since, and its usually far away.
now at potatoe creek state park in indiana, ive had a encounter with that exact same humanoid creature, it started chasing me hella deep into the mtb trails. but this time it got aggressive, and started through sticks at me that was pretty freaking big, and I was seeing this whiz past the left side of my fullface.
thats when I lost it dudes, I started screaming for help, started screaming im gonna unalive it, started saying just face me 1 to 1, why do you always gotta be so far away I dont understand.
eventually got ahold of a friend who was there with me, he was helping our mentally challenged friend jimme riding on flat trains cause he is mentally slow. got him on the phone, and was legit almost in tears, telling him it was chasing me again!
ive seen this thing maybe 5-8ish times now in the past 5 years.
now, the other weird thing I though it could be, was someone from the future using a cloaking device, and cant show themselves but are watching me, but then that poses the question as to "why" would that person be doing that to start with. who cares about me im just a nobody.
also about the feral people in TN, I know a girl, we will call her K, and she is about 34ish, and her family came from the ferals, and inbreds, and I swear she told me all this on my mothers grave, and about everything ive said. on my late mothers grave, I give everyone my word im being 100% truthful, and very honest about my reactions. K also explained to me her feral family lived deep deep deep in the tn mountains, and that a certain part of their entire family is pure "incest", and that mothers , brothers, fathers, sisters, aunts, uncles didnt matter everyone was game. she said she refuses to speak or even really mention them cause they are such a nightmare to her.
I still ride alot in the trails, and im glade ive not seen this walker thing lately, im legit terrified to not ride without a go pro on now, like if im by myself, the go pro is legit on. its like the moments I turn them off it all goes away.
I did have this weird footage but lost it from like a year or two ago, where my hallucinations started, and I was in the woods, and was like "if I publish this" someone please tell me you see this thing standing in the woods etc. but I was tripping because , it was like instant fear, panic, anxiety, that super deep gut feeling something is off, and or wrong.
always trust your gut, and your dog people.
have a good one, sorry this was so long.
I believe you
@@pam190 I think its a et the skin walker to be honest, probably a redan species.

I live up in North Wilkesboro NC, before I became paralyzed I used to drive all through back woods and car camp hill and dale. There are definitely interesting folk up off the Appalachian trail. Mind you that goes all the way up North. I definitely seen a thing or two in New York State Forest system as well. But I'll tell you what... don't knock that mountain medicine they use. There's folk magic 🪄 and healthier stuff than big pharma is pushing.

My dad's ancestors came from the Kentucky mountains and I never heard about the hills being said of what they did expect moonshine.

I've been deep into portions of the Pennsylvania Appalachian mountains and have seen and heard my fair share of spooky things. The feral people are always on my mind when I've gone deep into the woods and I've found what looks like hand made tools out there stuck in trees. My great aunt and uncle used to tell us some pretty scary stories about their times growing up in the woods. Gave me major chills.

I’ve heard of Mountain people, who live in out lying hills. Not the forest that you described They live in the mountains around us. My grandmother called them spirit people. People have chosen to leave civilization and live alone away from everybody. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. We all make decisions that affect our lives, and they have the same right as I have in their decisions. of the lifestyle they want to live. Grandmother showed me some evidence of her spirit people had been, but she never did teach me to be afraid of them. I never saw them but that was over 60 years ago. Are they still there? I don’t know I have moved away from that area. But this story reminded me of the mountain people/the spirit people. I was not taught to fear them, and they weren’t known for their destructive nature.

I believe you 100% I'm 65 years old I've been hunting since I've been 15 and I've heard things in the woods that I cannot explain never been able to see anything but have heard some sounds that absolutely made my hair stand up weird sounds that was not normal sounds that I'm used to hearing in the woods it scared me so bad that I put my back against the tree and took the safety off my gun fully expecting to have something run in on me once it got daylight I went down to the area and inspected it really really good for the sound was coming from found nothing out of the ordinary nothing that looked out of place everything looked just normal like it should have at the bottom of the hollow was a sinkhole that I was not going to try to explore but it's only thing I can figure out still don't know till this day and this was at Taylorsville lake Briar ridge in Kentucky only about a half a mile from the parking area as the crow flies so it ain't like that I was way back in the woods someplace I've been there too but I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary I will say one thing I did find a lot of old stills and still sites at Land between the lakes and strangely enough a lot of abandoned cars that actually there was no way to get them to where they were I still ain't figured it out to this day how they got there cuz there was most definitely no roads out there up into them woods and then the cars would be down into a Holler and you can tell they just been shoved off the cliff down into the hollow and to be left there but like I said I ain't figured out how they got them up there a lot of the Stills were actually pretty close to intact except for a few axe holes in the sides of them no submarine still just pot stills most of them look to be around 30 gallons give or take 5 gallons

As a kid growing up in Tn they talked about these people quite a bit and as the older i got you rarely heard anyone speak about them, but was always warned to avoid certain areas.
Sounds like that show on Hulu called “Outsiders” I guess you can say it sparked my interest in these type of folks. My grandma used to talk about these people her daddy told her as a girl back in the 30’s we were supposedly kin to that lived up in the mountains that she said great grandpa called feral folk. I wish I could have pressed more on finding out who and where there were, I bet that would have been crazy as hell!

I have not vacationed in the Smokys for decades, but I do frequent another area that has extremely remote pockets of land, and is not tremendously popular with tourists. There are reports there, although the stories don't just jump right out at you. There might be a commonality between these feral people and "Big Foot".

Hey my awesome mountain sister 🙏💙😁
I grew up in east Tennessee near the Smokey Mountains and NC border. Everyone knew about ferral malungians. Not many left these days but I went to school with a couple descendants. Appalachia used to be a wild place. Not so much anymore with all the rich folks that destroyed the area with houses.
WOW!! 😯 This is a true story?? I can believe it because I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of WV. I was "privileged" enough to be exposed to many mountain cultures that most don't get to see. Thanks to my father, who unfortunately passed away when I was 19. But never quite heard of such feral people. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Ramona! The gentleman that submitted it swears it's very real. I grew up in the TN mountains so I can honestly say...the mountains do have some strange things in them as I'm sure you know too. Sorry you lost your father 😔 may he rest in peace 🕊️🙏 thank you so much for watching. God bless
I live in the Ozarks, and the stories around here can be very similar--I guess hill country is much the same everywhere. Our homestead is next door to Mark Twain National Forest near Hercules Glade Wilderness where I frequently walk with my dogs in the forest, sometimes on old logging tracks but more often just taking deer trails. Over the last 32 years, I have several times had that same eerie feeling this guy describes, and when it happens, I always notice that my dogs stick closer to me and everything goes eerily quiet (even birds and insects stop making noise). The feeling of being watched is palpable. Once, near an old forest pond (probably scooped out by rangers for a water source because it's near a spot that used to have a fire lookout tower on it decades ago) I even found a place that someone had hollowed out under the roots of a big tree on a steep slope. The roots had been cut and the interior of the little cave-like space was charred to get rid of rootlets hanging down. It was smoothed out and large enough to sit down in--like a cozy, rounded chair, sort of egg-shaped. Someone could easily sit in there and not be seen at all unless you approached from down slope and walked up directly under the spot. Another time, I surprised someone at the same forest pond when I approached without making as much noise as usual. I didn't see whoever it was, but I smelled him from about 150' away and spoke to my dogs about the stench. I'm sure it was the sound of my voice that made him leave in such a hurry that he left behind a ratty old scrap (about 12" x 18") of foam cushion (the sort of closed cell foam people use for putting under a sleeping bag) under a group of cedar trees a few feet from the pond. I always took my dogs to that spot for a drink on hot days when the creeks went dry, so I would have known if that bit of foam had been there previously--especially since I have been in the habit of walking 3 to 10 miles or so in that area almost every single day and had been there just the previous day. I could hear something moving fast down the hill on the other side of the embankment around the pond, but by the time I got around to where I could look down the slope, there was no one in sight. Anyway ... just two examples of the many anecdotes I could tell. I am familiar with my woods for miles around and I almost always have dogs with me, but for people who don't know what's what in the woods ... my advice is to stay in the city and don't venture too far out in the Ozark hills.
This reminds me when we went to the Great Smoky Mtn state park. A lot of the hiking gave me the creeps, I think it was because the forest was so thick and dense, we couldn’t see a foot in front of us in some areas. It is beautiful though.
That's wild and neat lol Thank you so so much for watching and enjoying! God bless you Kinfolk and have a mighty good'n!!
A long time ago I read about how feral people in the mountains were 'culled' from time to time if their numbers became too many and they began to bother the civilized people... thought it was a fantasy but now I wonder. Thanks for this video

Ive gone camping alone before and camped near house that was probably built pre civil war era with no power or water running in and thought i was alone until i sat up my tent and got inside and heard gunshits firing i suppose warning me and i then yelled out, if you want me to leave just say so, if not just keep wasting your fucking bullets....no one ever replied back so i drifted off ti sleep like a baby in fact, knowing i wasnt alone out there but not really giving a fuck either thanks to my eye in the sky, God always has my back....and i feel clisest to Him in ANY woods alone in my tent...this story has sparked a great interest in becoming a forest or park ranger..thanks man!

I’ve lived in my part of the mid Atlantic region of the Appalachian Hills area all of my 51 years of life and I’ve heard noises many times mountain biking along two Lane highways during daytime hours and all hours throughout the night and I ride a lot of single lane paved roads anytime from dark to daylight as well but I have never seen or heard anything to bothersome but then again I’m not worried or afraid of anything either. there has been a few times out mountain biking that I have came across people walking either on the back roads or in the woods along those same types of roads that would make me a little suspicious But never worried or anything and I always continue on my way but I have seen things at times also that would scare a lot of people
