Man listening to all these wilderness horror stories makes me NEVER want to camp out anymore 😂 I get soooo shook hearing these stories! But tbh that all started for me when I actually did go camping one night, and something was nudging against my tent 😬 ever since, I havent went back
Between Mr Ballen & Kyle Hates Hiking, I’m beginning to think my solo backpacking & hiking trips were ill-advised. I feel a little like just my survival was…miraculous. The worst that ever happened was my (disappointingly old, ratty) bras & underwear were stolen by a bunch of Boy Scouts camping nearby and strewn on branches around a creek bed. 🙄
As a truck driver, your stories and they way you deliver them help me fight off drivers fatigue. Very great audio to listen to. Thank you for all the awesome content
@@TheGhostofAbigailMills no it wouldnt, signal would get lost pretty quick, unless u use cable connection, but then again it coupd get stuck inbetween rocks and stuff.
So that one guy built his own wooden cabin, decided to live there alone for the whole winter surviving by his own means while prospecting for gold. People at the beginning of the 20th century were built different.
@Chandler Burse entirely untrue me and my brother bought about 500 Acres out in West Virginia strictly for hunting purposes because it's mountainous and not Farmland so it was cheap him and I both have spent Winters out there and there are no structures so we've had to build our own cabins you can do anything you want as long as you're not lazy people are capable of doing anything and everything they're still doing it all over the world so saying people aren't capable of it just shows you that you're not aware of the rest of the world outside of the first world country you live in
Or they know that you can't take them on...in my mind...modern day, modern weapons...I think a party of 100 people armed with high powered semi-automatic weapons might be able to tame the headless valley...I mean in my mind anyway...but at the same time...that is some bad shit going on in that place..
I don't know if the police are protecting something in the valley so much as protecting themselves! The police probably didn't want to spend any more time in that valley than they absolutely had to and they definitely didn't want to spend the night out there if they could help it. So I kind of understand why they claim none of the deaths are connected and they are all just natural cause deaths. Because if that wasn't the case they would have a duty to go out there and stay and figure out what's going on and none of them wanted to do that. I don't even feel bad for those gold miners who CHOSE to go into headless valley after the original 3 deaths. Come on. There have been like a dozen mysterious deaths most of them involving decapitation and the name of the place is f**king HEADLESS VALLEY. I don't even feel bad for you if you CHOOSE to go out there. I honestly believe it was probably another Gold Miner/s who wanted to keep all of the gold in the area for themselves and so just started ambushing and killing anyone who was in the area. They probably figured if they killed enough people it would deter others from coming out there. It's also possible the native Americans didn't take kindly to randos showing up in their area using up their resources (wild animals for food chopping down trees etc) and taking their gold off their land. Either way it's probably safe now. I'm more interested in the caves along that area though. I really wish some brave cavers would go out there and explore the caves and film them so we can see what's in them.
@@WhitneyDahlin yup that is when they find the skulls and naked pale humanoids skittering in the dark during a live feed...but I agree with most of what you said...in the day natives would decapitate people,also it is kinda strange that natives warned a search party about "the pale people" I just believe alot more is in this world or just outside our reality...it is crazy though about the woman in 1926...then the fella that said he saw a naked woman on all fours that looked not quite right...you never know..
I'm only a quarter native, but my father taught me and my siblings to never whistle at night. When we used to ask why? He'd say; "you never know what's out in the darkness." which made sense since we lived by a heavily wooded area.
Before the story of Annie dissappearing and running up the rocky hillside looking possessed i was like id still go there and take 8 trained hunting/guard dogs with me and a few guns and men. Then the story of Annie and i was like oh shit its supernatural shit or a virus or something i cant defend against, and was like NOPE!
Those that kept going in there were greedy…there appears more to this than just evil…perhaps something wants to keep the area pristine and free from man’s greed.
@@marysykes3143 yeah I wouldn't say the people who did this are clean and pure too, decapitating random people isn't that much different than greed, both shameless and evil things
This is my favorite video from MrBallen studios because it's the one that gets people on board with MrBallen, this guy needs UA-cam's biggest award to me.
@Jerry Brony Some people swear in front of friends & colleagues, but when talking to new people they can be as polite as anything!! Of course, there are people that just don't swear, or leave swearing for the worst moments in their lives! I'm one of the former, if you're wondering. 😀
Out of all the stories I’ve ever heard Mr Ballen tell this one just really gets to me, such a sinister story & all these mysterious deaths without any explanation & every time I listen to it I feel the chills go down my spine
I love the historical aspect and the stories, graphic but undeniably intriguing. Thought I'd stop in again and say thank you for blessing us with this channel. Good to see it growing and getting insane amounts of views.
No, thank you Also I left an almost empty gallon of milk in the like buttons' fridge so when it gets milk for cereal it wont have enough for a bowl and has to eat it dry. And keep up the banger content!
@@MrBallen how long ago is it, that the naha disappeared? I mean what if they just got a undiscovered place to live and no more wanted to RAID villages but they thought, that the people who looked for Gold are dangerous for them, Do they killed them? I mean they were known to cut off the Heads of their victims...
When this dude says he really appreciates our support he’s one of the very few youtubers that I feel genuinely means it. Thanks for your content man, we appreciate you too
Dare I say, most, if not all “old timers” here truly appreciate Mr. Allen giving up so much of his family time to bring us these stories. I don’t think 3,4, over even five videos a week is sustainable. Whenever the pop up is greatly appreciated but not taken for granted.
after watching this i did a bit of research, turns out people still die in the headless valley as recently as 2008 there have been missing person investigations in the nahanni valley, and upwards of 50 people in total have died or completely disappeared in the nahanni valley and never been found i think its time for your followup video mrballen :D
Natives killing people off to discourage others from coming back, it is pretty simple really. There is no ''pale cryptids'' its just natives telling spooky stories while they are the ones doing the killings.
I swear, WTF did Americans and Canadians do to the natives that pretty much all your national parks and forests are cursed with some weird shit. Bigfoots, Skinwalkers, Wuptis, Wendigos, Eldritch abominations....
Take some liberties and have like one crazy hermit that lives there just outside the valley, they are the only person who lives in the valley at all, and the hermit gives the people going in an ominous warning that they ignore because obviously the crazy hermit is crazy. At the end of the movie when the last guy is running from whatever it is, they run to the hermit's home and hammer the door, the hermit doesn't even open it, you just hear their voice from the other side say something like "The valley doesn't like visitors" right before the last guy is pulled into the forest by some unseen force, you hear a scream, and the movie ends.
The explanation for the decapitations by the authorities made my eyes roll. I live in a rural area and have seen dead animals decomposing and their parts being taken away to be eaten by other animals. I've never seen a head ripped off a large animal except by humans.
Yes i find dead deer and those spinal cords are always last to go and they are on good hard to believe animals did that to a skull where meat is harder to bit too
Sounds like the natives don’t want their beautiful mountains strip mined and turned into rubble with cyanide streams. The gold is not worth destroying the environment. The warning, followed by the common howling used by native to communicate just seals the story for me. Especially knowing what was done to the original 250 million natives in North America. I can’t blame them
Normal people: *makes bucket list of places to go and see before they die.* Me after watching MrBallen’s videos: *makes a list of places to not go so I won’t die.*
@@jameslandon4126 maybe wait until you’ve done everything else you want to do and have had a long full life... then Hakuna Matata possibly.. hopefully? Worst case scenario, you lose your head and MrBallen does an update to this story that features you. Well your body since your head will probably never be found. This went from Disney to dark really fast.
I'm a native from the Northwest Territories and we grew up knowing not to mess around in the wild. Taught to be very quiet and to never be alone. The Annie Lafferty falls with the stories we've been told about being possessed. It's nothing new in the north, there's a lot of chilling stories
Wonder if old American businessmen caught most of the ghosts to sell to others. Notice every other country has tons of haunted uninhabited land but in the US we just build over it and trap ghosts in dolls and make movies of them.
This is by far the spookiest and interesting story of this channel. This would make the hell of a movie but then again why would you need a movie when this guy is doing so much better than that.
This story was most likely a gold prospector or prospectors, creating a spook story and actually murdering other possible gold prospectors in order to keep them away and keeping the area to themselves to gold hunt. Burning their cabins, taking their gold. And when other people started with haunting stories, it lined up perfectly in their favor. It could have even been local government/law enforcement in on it. Striking a deal to take a portion while the area was kept clear for one group to mine.
In Canadian history all we learned about was how there were tons of gold that's untouched in the far north. If my history teacher told stories like this, I would've paid a lot more attention!

@Conniggor NOT wendigo. These are different, I’ve been a big fan of horror for awhile and I can tell that these are skin walkers. That might be why this woman who ran around was naked, and perhaps they take heads to use it as new forms. I could be crazy but just something to think about
@@MrBallen The Superstition Mountains in Arizona have a long dark history of silver miners and hikers being found decapitated. Would love it if you did an episode on the Lost Dutchman Mine of Superstition Mountains, Apache Junction, Arizona.
Kind of a coincidence that the one group of people were approached by a tribe, warning them of danger, and then that night they hear screams and howls….
I dont think they keep the gold I think they just put it back into the land. I believe they simply dont want ppl taking gold from their land…Its not money to them its part of their home.
I stopped watching movies years ago. But then discovered Mr. Ballen about a month ago, and think, this man through simply telling stories, without all the acting and special fx and stuff of movies - has a much deeper impact on me. Like others have remarked, this channel is like crack! This man's got a real gift!
@@sebastianwilliams6651Yes I still watch documentaries, and occasional docu-mini-series. As for films, I still enjoy short films - Omeleto's channel is fantastic for that. But in general have largely avoided full-length feature films and fiction-based series.
Technically there is a movie based on a book thats based on a theory about the culprit behind the decapitations. It's called the 13th warrior and it isn't the same kind of story but the main point of that there is a group of people in a plot of land that attack tresspassors by burning down their buildings and defile the corpses by decapitating them. Good movie but the book it's based on is incredible. However one thing to note about it, is that it's a viking movie so don't be surprised when they don't just shoot the guys or get mad when they mistake their presence as something supernatural because thats how people thought back then.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Mr. Ballen gives us anxiety warnings & even gives us timestamps of images that will be shown that may cause distress. That is the sweetest thing! Many people avoid watching scary videos because they aren't sure if there will be a jump scare or disturbing image. I love that we can count on Mr. Ballen for these warnings because I don't know a single other UA-camr who gives warnings like that to this extent.
@@Smallestpenis Not everyone finds jump scares fun or entertaining. Some, like myself, just get pissed off when they see them and lose interest in whatever they're watching. I certainly prefer to know ahead of time whether I'm going to waste my time watching something only for my experience to be ruined by a cheap jump scare.
There was a video he actually shown a supposedly cursed image without context and people gave him backlash for it. I think that’s why. It’s good though. Not all people want jumpscare or walk into things like that, they just want the eerie story thrills
I HEAVILY believe that native tribes/people know something we don’t, because their legends make sense a lot of the time and when they aren’t into something like that valley then you should always trust them.
I usually can’t watch anything on UA-cam that’s more than five minutes long, but I’ve been binge watching your videos all afternoon. You really have a way of narrating so well that I can visualize everything you say.
Police "not connecting" the decapitated body with the other two decapitiated bodies from just a few years earlier. . .in a place called "Headless Valley." Hmmmm....
@@brandynkoogler4500 Ever think that they were the killers and were hoarding all the gold to themselves, and started calling the place Headless Valley to keep gold hunters out??? That would explain no investigations into the deaths.
Tbh its probably the native tribe. They can easily find and use the gold themselves and don't want outsiders using it so killed people to scare them off. Remember other native tribes have vanished in this valley probably killed by the original tribe.
I believe gesturing with our hands makes us feel mor immersed in the story whether we are telling is or listening to it. I wonder if he was told not to move his hands while telling a story if we could hear a difference in the way he talks
The 2 beheaded guys just tried hitting a mosquito on each others necks with a machete at the same time. Just a terrible accident , but something that could happen to literally any of us.
Stories like this make me want to see someone put together a 20+ person expedition to get some gold, where they set up chain link fences with barbed wire up top, run constant security, and roll in with AR-15s. Mandatory buddy system, everyone uses go pros almost constantly. Document everything.

@@MarcellCsendes I had laser eye surgery 20 years ago ... still amazed at how clear my sight is. Of course, with Mr. Ballen's stories, sight is not a requirement, listening is.
The chance the cops could be the killers seem unlikely. Remember there is no official way into the valley and this people could get in any number of ways. For the cops to track them is nearly impossible and very dangerous.
Well CLEARLY! I mean duh! They forgot their invisibility potion to make it all the way through......wait, I am thinking of Ronal The Barbarian. Totally wrong, and NOT a kids movie. But funny as hell.
I mean, Clearly. I'm going to go there after watching the "how to train your dragon" movies and try to find me one. I'm sure they are friendly just like the movie. Wish me luck
This is probably one of the most unsettling places I’ve ever heard of, the second canyon with all those holes in the cliffs, the supposed “white figures”, and the river that’s thousands of feet deep. Creepy stuff man
So in a separate video, a YT channel had a kid go out into the valley for a hike, he talk alot about the NAHA, and in the comments a comment stuck out, "I'm naha and I've heard my whole life to never step foot in their, the tribe won't most tribes won't, and he recommended nobody else goes." But the hiker was fine. Just a weird vibe and u could feel it thru the video. It's an oddly beutifuly and eerie place to see filmed.
Dont know about it being supernatural, but I dont think greed is the cause. The only people who could be suspected and benefited from that are the locals and no one in the town is known for their wealth or anything. If they are, they would stick out like a sore thumb. The gold was there and always be there. Finding them is not that hard if someone there wants them. Why do you wait for the chance of someone else to come and kill them afterwards for it.. getting them by your self is better even if you lack the skill in the long run. So yah. Its not about the gold, its about sending a message..
@@RhazOfRheos Unless another prospector found the area first and kept it quiet so there’d not be a gold rush. They could’ve killed anyone they found prospecting in “their” territory. Could be, like the first crew, from somewhere else, so they’d not be known in the area for their wealth. Your idea about “sending a message,” possibly by Native Americans, could also be true though; either seems likely to me.
I absolutely agree with you… obviously the 2 brothers faked their deaths, because they made the mistake of telling people about the gold there. Then all three got the local Indians to burn the cabins and kill any prospector who was brave enough to look past their story of the valley being haunted. The local Indians were able to keep the land clean and free of Gold miners and the destruction, moral decay and Settlers that came with it. And the brothers become extremely wealthy.
@@chasemullins8753 Some dude made a story up to impress his kids when his trip to the middle of nowhere turned out super boring. Tbh, the supernatural elements of these kinds of stories never seem to require explanation - they could’ve just as easily been added later by ghost-story tellers.

I was just saying this. He hasn't done a story like this or missing 411 in a while. @mrballen please give us more stories like this. Oh and 2 stories a week is not enough. We need at least 3days worth.😁
Bruh like what wild animals just take the head .Also they found the head intact which to me means that animals didn't do it because after eating the fleshy parts of the head they would try to get to the brain for it's very nutritious to the animal. (That's what I think animals would do if they head just yourhead) plus animal's would most definitely go after your legs, your arms, or your chest frist snice most organ meat is very nutritious. Also why just the head and go through all that effort when the rest of the boats right their.This is why I agree It's a tribe that's very aggressive and territorial.
Anyone else think the cops in that area are trying to cover something up? They just seem like they’re giving generic answers to really strange situations
That’s what I was thinking this whole video. I felt like the police were either too fucking stupid or they were trying to cover something up. They always say “animals” would take the head, but only the heads? You’re telling me a wild animal is gonna come across a whole meal and just eat the head and only the head? There’s no way they didn’t know something was going on. It’s pretty astonishing how quickly they came to their conclusions and brushed everything else off.
Agreed. No predator would take a skull. A predator would eat the body or drag it back to its den for the babies. Either way, no trophies. That requires Human intelligence.
I’ve seen most of the predator movies and can tell you, unequivocally, that the heads/spinal column are the only things they take. It’s funny you brought up the trophies because that’s what they are. Holy poop Batman……we just solved it! Nahanni valley is a Yautja training ground!!!

@@og_general6583 Gold Fever!
Sounds like a fun trip!
I don't think that valley wanted them walking away with its gold
UPDATE: the police seem hell bent on protecting whatever is in that valley
So.... National Parks.... Why?
The gold!!!!
They did this
Or they know that you can't take them on...in my mind...modern day, modern weapons...I think a party of 100 people armed with high powered semi-automatic weapons might be able to tame the headless valley...I mean in my mind anyway...but at the same time...that is some bad shit going on in that place..
I don't know if the police are protecting something in the valley so much as protecting themselves! The police probably didn't want to spend any more time in that valley than they absolutely had to and they definitely didn't want to spend the night out there if they could help it. So I kind of understand why they claim none of the deaths are connected and they are all just natural cause deaths. Because if that wasn't the case they would have a duty to go out there and stay and figure out what's going on and none of them wanted to do that. I don't even feel bad for those gold miners who CHOSE to go into headless valley after the original 3 deaths. Come on. There have been like a dozen mysterious deaths most of them involving decapitation and the name of the place is f**king HEADLESS VALLEY. I don't even feel bad for you if you CHOOSE to go out there. I honestly believe it was probably another Gold Miner/s who wanted to keep all of the gold in the area for themselves and so just started ambushing and killing anyone who was in the area. They probably figured if they killed enough people it would deter others from coming out there. It's also possible the native Americans didn't take kindly to randos showing up in their area using up their resources (wild animals for food chopping down trees etc) and taking their gold off their land. Either way it's probably safe now. I'm more interested in the caves along that area though. I really wish some brave cavers would go out there and explore the caves and film them so we can see what's in them.
@@WhitneyDahlin yup that is when they find the skulls and naked pale humanoids skittering in the dark during a live feed...but I agree with most of what you said...in the day natives would decapitate people,also it is kinda strange that natives warned a search party about "the pale people" I just believe alot more is in this world or just outside our reality...it is crazy though about the woman in 1926...then the fella that said he saw a naked woman on all fours that looked not quite right...you never know..

people still die in the headless valley
as recently as 2008 there have been missing person investigations in the nahanni valley, and upwards of 50 people in total have died or completely disappeared in the nahanni valley and never been found
i think its time for your followup video mrballen :D

Writing the screenplay. ✍️
Take some liberties and have like one crazy hermit that lives there just outside the valley, they are the only person who lives in the valley at all, and the hermit gives the people going in an ominous warning that they ignore because obviously the crazy hermit is crazy.
At the end of the movie when the last guy is running from whatever it is, they run to the hermit's home and hammer the door, the hermit doesn't even open it, you just hear their voice from the other side say something like "The valley doesn't like visitors" right before the last guy is pulled into the forest by some unseen force, you hear a scream, and the movie ends.

Sounds like the natives don’t want their beautiful mountains strip mined and turned into rubble with cyanide streams. The gold is not worth destroying the environment. The warning, followed by the common howling used by native to communicate just seals the story for me. Especially knowing what was done to the original 250 million natives in North America. I can’t blame them

@@nishimandal8407 👍
This story was most likely a gold prospector or prospectors, creating a spook story and actually murdering other possible gold prospectors in order to keep them away and keeping the area to themselves to gold hunt. Burning their cabins, taking their gold. And when other people started with haunting stories, it lined up perfectly in their favor. It could have even been local government/law enforcement in on it. Striking a deal to take a portion while the area was kept clear for one group to mine.
In Canadian history all we learned about was how there were tons of gold that's untouched in the far north. If my history teacher told stories like this, I would've paid a lot more attention!

as long as @MrBallen writes the script lol
Technically there is a movie based on a book thats based on a theory about the culprit behind the decapitations. It's called the 13th warrior and it isn't the same kind of story but the main point of that there is a group of people in a plot of land that attack tresspassors by burning down their buildings and defile the corpses by decapitating them. Good movie but the book it's based on is incredible. However one thing to note about it, is that it's a viking movie so don't be surprised when they don't just shoot the guys or get mad when they mistake their presence as something supernatural because thats how people thought back then.

So in a separate video, a YT channel had a kid go out into the valley for a hike, he talk alot about the NAHA, and in the comments a comment stuck out, "I'm naha and I've heard my whole life to never step foot in their, the tribe won't most tribes won't, and he recommended nobody else goes." But the hiker was fine. Just a weird vibe and u could feel it thru the video. It's an oddly beutifuly and eerie place to see filmed.
This is exactly the style of story Mr Ballen excels at telling.
Thank you!
Yeah the strange dark and mysterious.
@@jaybestnz Delivered in story format.
I love how mrballen has millions of subscribers and still responds to comments. So genuine.
This story would make an excellent movie. Like they say - 'Truth is stranger than fiction'.
was thinking the same thing the entire time watching this
Bone Tomahawk.
@@TheDede508 Great minds think alike.
I agree - I would watch this!
@@3sgteyota I was thinking the same thing. "Bone Tomahawk" is not only a great movie but comes closest to this story without being all 'supernatural'.
I love the amount of detail that goes into this world building. I know exactly where we are and what we're dealing with.
The fact that the gold was always missing leads me to believe that the cause of death wasn't supernatural. Greed is a powerful motivator.
Dont know about it being supernatural, but I dont think greed is the cause. The only people who could be suspected and benefited from that are the locals and no one in the town is known for their wealth or anything. If they are, they would stick out like a sore thumb. The gold was there and always be there. Finding them is not that hard if someone there wants them. Why do you wait for the chance of someone else to come and kill them afterwards for it.. getting them by your self is better even if you lack the skill in the long run.
So yah. Its not about the gold, its about sending a message..
@@RhazOfRheos Unless another prospector found the area first and kept it quiet so there’d not be a gold rush. They could’ve killed anyone they found prospecting in “their” territory.
Could be, like the first crew, from somewhere else, so they’d not be known in the area for their wealth.
Your idea about “sending a message,” possibly by Native Americans, could also be true though; either seems likely to me.
I absolutely agree with you… obviously the 2 brothers faked their deaths, because they made the mistake of telling people about the gold there. Then all three got the local Indians to burn the cabins and kill any prospector who was brave enough to look past their story of the valley being haunted. The local Indians were able to keep the land clean and free of Gold miners and the destruction, moral decay and Settlers that came with it. And the brothers become extremely wealthy.
How do you explain the chick on all fours then?
@@chasemullins8753 Some dude made a story up to impress his kids when his trip to the middle of nowhere turned out super boring. Tbh, the supernatural elements of these kinds of stories never seem to require explanation - they could’ve just as easily been added later by ghost-story tellers.
the only anxiety I get from this video is the fact there's a whole river of gold out there for me but I don't wanna get decapitated
Cant get decapitated if you have an ar15 at your disposal
I would go their right now once i was with a heavily armed group and explore those caves .
@@JaSa-wd9fgi am ready to catch a flight anytime, curiosity is a humanity main thing
think about it, 50 men with machine guns and months worth of supplies with turrets and helicopters theres no way they won't catch what's doin ts
@@eee-wq5gl lol.i personally belive theres probably a group of uncontacted people maybe indigenous or maybe inbreed hillbillies that dont want to be found.but give me some night/heat vision goggles and some high caliber weapons and ill take the risk .
everyone: that place is cursed I tell you
the police: must have been the wind
everyone: can the wind decapitate a man?
the police: it was very strong wind

THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONTENT I MISS!
Stories like these are the reason why I started following your channel :))))
You miss it? Are you saying that he doesn't post content like this anymore or something?
@@flipnasty2296 it's usually a few short stories in same time frame or less, still awesome but these are my favs as well
I was just saying this. He hasn't done a story like this or missing 411 in a while. @mrballen please give us more stories like this. Oh and 2 stories a week is not enough. We need at least 3days worth.😁
It’s like a bad joke: how many headless remains does it take to not blame wild animals?
i think the authorities know about a native tribe and are protecting them.🤔
@@cassieshoemaker4733 goddamned Canadians.
@@Shark_Rock 😂
The same amount of kids it takes to die for people to do something about gun violence
Bruh like what wild animals just take the head .Also they found the head intact which to me means that animals didn't do it because after eating the fleshy parts of the head they would try to get to the brain for it's very nutritious to the animal. (That's what I think animals would do if they head just yourhead) plus animal's would most definitely go after your legs, your arms, or your chest frist snice most organ meat is very nutritious. Also why just the head and go through all that effort when the rest of the boats right their.This is why I agree It's a tribe that's very aggressive and territorial.
So we're looking for a creature large enough to bite a person's head off, burns buildings, and steals gold...
It's a dragon 🐉
and possesses people. it's a demon and or ghost dragon.
more like someone with two legs and a brain...

One time a few months ago I watched a lot of these videos but I will never forget this story
Anyone else think the cops in that area are trying to cover something up? They just seem like they’re giving generic answers to really strange situations
That’s what I was thinking this whole video. I felt like the police were either too fucking stupid or they were trying to cover something up. They always say “animals” would take the head, but only the heads? You’re telling me a wild animal is gonna come across a whole meal and just eat the head and only the head? There’s no way they didn’t know something was going on. It’s pretty astonishing how quickly they came to their conclusions and brushed everything else off.
Ong, like something else is obviously going on, ain’t no way these cops are serious 😂
Agreed.
No predator would take a skull. A predator would eat the body or drag it back to its den for the babies. Either way, no trophies. That requires Human intelligence.
I’ve seen most of the predator movies and can tell you, unequivocally, that the heads/spinal column are the only things they take. It’s funny you brought up the trophies because that’s what they are. Holy poop Batman……we just solved it! Nahanni valley is a Yautja training ground!!!
I think there are places there that are just " bad ". Like our Alcatraz.
Shout-out to the people that remember "three, four, or even five times a week".
Rip now we get 1 a week
Yoooo ty for commenting this so I didn’t have too lol. Roped us in with that one huh?! Lol jk, life happens I get it plus the content is still great BUT RIP to 3-5x a week uploads 😢
It was probably a channel growth strategy 3-5 times a week hard work. not sustainable hard for the quality he cranks out
Yeah I miss it but he also has a kid? I know I'd rather him produce less and spend more time with his kid than give us 5 eps a week
The stand alone stories are by far my favorite!
He obviously does a fantastic job with every type of story or stories he tell us. I just prefer the long form stand alones
Keep doing you! Your killing the game and we all appreciate your dedication and high level of execution 2 or 3 times a week 😂
