I have lived in a remote area most of my adult life. I have discovered that if human beings show up at your house when you live in a secluded area, they’re usually up to no good.
@anthonymichael5078 I live on a mountain in East Tennessee and in my experience it's not "usually" trouble when strangers knock, but it's such a rarity that an unexpected knock occurs that it always kicks in my spider sense. I've never had an "incident", but the eerie thing is I have 2 neighbors that could hear me at my place, if I literally screamed (and that's assuming they don't have electronics or tools making noise and that they're home). In other words, if things get freaky, you're probably on your own. You're correct, anthonymichael, that "we are there too", but the thing is we're living there.
I'm 66, hike in northwoods Wisconsin with my dogs daily. I watch my dogs, they alert me quietly of wolves, bears, people. One time my aussie froze. I couldn't see what it sensed. She turned took my hand in her mouth and moved me back down the trail. She kept looking back, so did I. When we got to the truck i looked up the trail and saw a couger looking at us. Thank God for my dogs. I also live in a cabin in the woods. I have dogs and weapons, trail cams and a super lock system. No one gets close to my cabin before my dogs alert. I fear the wolves the most....and cougars.
I got turned around and lost deep in the woods north of Mercer during deer hunting season. I somehow found my way out, but the northwoods of WI are no joke.
I was pumping gas when an old friend of mine came up a little close. He's happily married, so this was odd. I stepped back a bit, but he came in closer. He politely entered my "space bubble" charmingly and whispered "theres a man behind you watching your moves with bad intent." he then helped me pump my gas and waited until the other man left. He probably saved my life by presenting the idea that i was not alone. I was a solo young lady, packed up to go camping for the weekend. He was an Angel in that moment, sent from God.
He was an old friend though? HE might have been stalking YOU, using the old "there's a bad man behind you" ruse, and never been a suspect in your disappearance because "he's happily married". Being such a hero, I bet you'd have trusted him completely, right? All too easy, for those with a terrible agenda
1) You're pumping gas? If someone approaches you in a menacing manner you can always hose them down real good. 2) A woman thinks she's being followed. What does she do? Drives straight home. (but of course) Dudes park next to her 1 gets out and goes up to her window. She lowers her window (of course). He pulls a gun, she starts to raise her window. He shoots her (of course) she later dies. Told rather coldly by me but that's life sometimes. True story as told on YT. I won't tell you the rest. It's even more heinous. That friend of yours is truly a friend and observant. You're right he probably saved you. 🙏
My English bulldog Betty dog growls at the sound of the neighbors garage door opening 😩 . If she can see my son’s gun on him she growls. If anyone has a tool or something in their hands she growls 😩 . She is terrified of holiday yard blow ups. She just now had a fit because I had my drill in my hand ! Ugh she’s such a chicken . SWEET as can be and loves to taste small children and babies 😂 But I sometimes wonder if she was punished or threatened excessively in her first year before we got her.. Aside from that, I *absolutely* trust her nose and she has amazing hearing too .. she can hear me quietly open a Payday wrapper underneath the blanket all the way from upstairs with two TVs on..
My dog knows when somebody means negative intent even when guised under friendliness. There are people I run into that I already know that they do not like me beneath deceitful smiles and yet my dog will bark or keep distance when close to their presence.
Grandma always said to us when we were scared of ghosts......"don't fear the dead, fear the living." Sometimes in some places, solitude is safety from self and others.
I visited your country, the hate and the hostility of big cities Is evident, people dont like each other, and mass immigration makes It worse. That kind of feeling doesn t go away in non Urban enviroment, in the country side where there Is no camera. Dont get me wrong country side Italy was already scart 30 years ago when Pacciani and cultists rounded around where the "Beast of Satan" committed their deeds. But country side us? I would not go around without a gun, if i had to camp I would go far away from routes. Takes b*lls tò be american.
I has an experience similar to what Diane shared. She talked about a 'feeling" that someone was out there. I live on a street with no street lights so night is very dark. Cant see anything. I went out to my trash can to throw a bag in there. As soon as I closed the lid I had a strange feeling someone was watching me. Total silence outside, pitch dark. couldn't see anything. I went in the house and grabbed a flashlight inside the front door. I came back out and shined a light in the yard. Dead smack in front of me about 20 feet was a deer staring right at me! How did I know he was looking at me? No sight, no sound. It was like I felt his presence.
It's called "Spidey-sense". 🕷 Was camping one summer with a group of friends up near Wright's Lake in the Sierra Nevada. Sitting around the campfire after dinner, having a few beers. Somebody says "Hey we forgot desert, watermelon." So they slice it up for everybody, and we throw the rinds into the woods behind us when we finish our slice. It's dark, and you're staring into the fire, and you lose your night vision. Fire crackling, small talk and jokes and laughter. Get up to take a leak in the woods, turn on the flashlight to see where I'm going, and there's 2 or 3 deer eating the watermelon rinds not 10 feet from the back of my chair. Scared the shit out of me. Snuck right up on us. I guess alcohol dulled my Spidey-sense.🕷
Your pupil will adapt and grow in the dark to a degree and allow you to see better if you give it few minutes. It may well be the case that the vision isnt the one that is getting improved but only the conscious registration of the sight. We smell and see things that don't register in our consciousness Think of how sexual hormones work. Invisible and untraceable by your conscious self, yet bodies know.
Yall not gonna last in Australia lol. We can't even carry a pocket knife and I think legally can't defend yourself until you are struck. Despite guns being illegal it always some how ends up that the wrong people have guns. Honestly getting to the point now that I think we probably need to bring them back. But for now I need to carry a big "walking stick" to have any sense of protection out in the bush.
I used to go fairly deep into the Appalachian woods to forage for morel mushrooms and spread ginseng seeds. I ran into a few people and it was always creepy. Most of the time they were younger kids on four wheelers. One time I ran into a guy who was in his 50s. He seemed normal and dressed nice, like a dad out in the woods. He talked to me and was pleasant, but something seemed off. Then he offered to show me his "secret morel spot" which freaked me out. First off all I didn't want to know incase I was already aware of the spot, but more flaggishly, no stranger shows you their spots. You don't even want to show friends your spots, and if you do, you make them swear that they will never tell another soul. But this guy kept getting more insistent. Not in a threatening manner, but it felt super sketchy. I told him I was done for the day and headed back to my car. He may have just been a nice guy trying to spread the morel love, but he might have also buried my corpse out there somewhere. I wasn't trying to find out. I had a bowie knife on me, but I didn't really want to get into a knife fight with some dad guy in the middle of the wilderness over some mushrooms.
Or he wanted to start a homosexual relationship with you, that would take place in the forest everytime you guys went out looking for mushrooms together, alone. He was building up to something for sure. Some people are just disgusting, not always murderers. The amount people out there with a desire to kill random people is SOOOOO tiny, so think about it......
@@clemdane To come back and harvest in a few years. Really just to spread the plant as much as possible. I probably won't go back to check all of the spots I seeded.
I ran into a guy in the deep woods of WI. I was bird hunting in orange and he was bow hunting in camo. I found him on the ground blood tracking a deer and said hello to be polite. Unfortunately this man had suffered from a severe injury that resulted in, literally, most of his face being caved in. Just eyes and a sunken mouth, fixed in place. It is amazing this man was out and living his best life. I think about him often, but the fear I felt when he turned around is something I remember clearly. It was just not what you ever expect to see
@VenomShotYou i have a feeling he knew, I talked a while to be polite and he was nice, talking was a challenge but I could understand him. He was nice, I want to stress that. But man oh man that first 5 seconds I remember, vividly.
Something similar happened to me with a guy whose face got shot off. I was a little girl exploring the 2nd floor of a building I thought was abandoned - I got in through the back, was upstairs walking around exploring the rooms and suddenly I heard the front door open, so I popped my head around the corner and boom there he was! All I remember was his face and he had super long dread locks. Scared me so bad I turned around ran all the way home… I told my mom and she told me he was a really sweet guy & known around the neighborhood. Turns out he got robbed on his way home from work and they shot him in the face 😮
As a surfer, I get those same feelings the guest spoke about when she was alone in the woods. Every once in awhile I get them while out in the water. Those sharky feelings where the hairs on your neck just stand up and you suddenly get a chill run down your spine. They don’t happen often, but when they do, I err on the side of caution and just get out of the water. I think anyone who is in tune with nature can get these primal feelings that are buried deep in all our ancestral DNA. The forest can be a beautiful but spooky place if you’re used to living in the city. It’s always good to take precautions when hiking in the wilderness. Go in prepared & know your terrain.
I live in Canada, in a very foresty spot, and I've felt this a few times. Once when all the wildlife around me went completely silent and I was in a open area, moments into this silence I saw the biggest healthiest coyote I've ever seen just stroll through the area (it was nearly the size of a wolf). Other times I've never seen what induced the feeling, just had spooky silence where there should've been noise
We never surf alone. ;) Surfing should be shared. Maybe you’d like to check out my friends surfing channel? ua-cam.com/video/ZqP9UTdCvg4/v-deo.htmlsi=vomxfKXfjztGCUXe
We surfed a little in Hawaii. Grandfather told me it's not the shark giving you vibes. It's hunted fish that's giving it off. You're feeling that in the water that make you do as they do. run. 🤙🏾
I grew up on the east coast of Australia. Fully aware I've swam with sharks on the regular. But I know exactly the feeling you're describing. I've always gotten out too. My husband complains at me when I force him out. But he always listens 😂
I've gotten that feeling she's talking about one time in my life. I found a new fishing hole one day, out back roading. So I pulled over and got out to throw a line in, see if it was worth coming back to. The road was along this bluff, so I pulled off and parked right alongside it. Grabbed my rod an reel, and tackle box and went over to the waters edge. As soon as I cast out I got this feeling like I was being watched. I scanned the other side thinking maybe someone was already there, and I just hadn't noticed them. Didn't see or hear anybody. Then out of nowhere I just got this intense fear. I turned around and looked at the top of the bluff behind me, and there was a mountain lion sitting by a tree looking down on me. I froze, I didn't know what to do. I had to go back to my car to leave, but it was sitting about 30 feet above my car. I just started talking really loud, and slowly went to my car. It watched me the whole time, but never made a move toward me. If I hadn't gotten that feeling and turned around, I doubt I'd be here typing this now.
We are only just chipping away at the vast complexity of the human body. There are parts of our DNA yet undiscovered that do crazy stuff that we don’t understand, such as the placebo effect. In fact the vast majority of genetic material in each body is viral and bacterial rather than human, living mostly in a perfectly balanced symbiotic dance. All that non human dna plays a huge part in deciding our personality, our health and longevity. When we lived in the woods or caves and hunted to eat our bodies developed an inbuilt danger detector. You may have seen the lion but not consciously recognised it, you may have smelled its pheromones despite predators trying to stay upwind ( how do they know ). It’s not supernatural,, everything has a natural explanation even if we can’t figure out what it is.
Had a similar thing happen to me when I was fishing in a belly boat and a nutria came at me from behind. I am absolutely sure it would have attacked me if I had not turned around and confronted it. I was casting towards the shore and just felt like I was in danger. I had to turn around to see what was making me feel like that.
My favorite thing about JRE is the amazing people I've never heard of that show up. This woman is awesome, & Im definitely left wanting to know more about her.
This is without a doubt the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, and still gives me lasting unease when I talk about it or think of what could have happened that night. in 1993, I was 21 at the time, and was in town with my girlfriend to stay at her sister’s house in Chico, CA. I wanted to do a little fishing while there, but must admit that I did not have a license, as I was visiting from Oregon. In light of this, I chose to wait until late evening, and head out of town a bit to a more secluded area to try my luck. I drove out of town approximately ten to fifteen miles and found a spot under a bridge. I believe it was the Big Chico Creek. I got all set up and started casting. I had been there no more than about twenty minutes, when I saw headlights shine on the trees above me. Figuring it was just a passing vehicle, I didn’t think much of it. A short time later I heard something and looked up the makeshift trail I had taken to get under the bridge. All of a sudden, what had to be a flood light turned on, shining right down on me. Thinking it was Police, I set my rod down and put my hands in the air, showing I was not armed. After several more seconds had passed, the light still shining directly on me, I asked “can you please turn the light off as I could not see anything. Shortly after, the light turned off, but I could not yet see, as I was still regaining my vision from the brightness of the flood light. Slowly I began to make out the shape of a person. As my vision continued to improve, I could see it was a man with long dirty blonde hair without a shirt on. At this point, I was pretty terrified, as this was probably after 1am in the morning. As I am thinking how I should respond, the guy takes off running down the trail towards me. I am not exaggerating when I say I truly contemplated jumping into the river as I felt my life was in danger. Shortly before reaching the bottom of the trail, the guy stumbles and falls to the ground. I picked up a knife from the ground beside me I had brought to clean the fish, and tell him not to come any closer. He gets up quickly and walks aggressively towards me, and I tell him again to stay back. He stops about five feet away, looks me right in my eyes and says ‘What are you doing out here, don’t you know that people get killed out here all the time”? I had no idea what to do or say to this, and told him, I am just here at a friend’s house for the weekend and I did not know that. I have my knife in my hand, holding it slightly behind me and to my side. He gives me the longest, coldest stare I have ever experienced and turns, without saying a word and heads back up the trail. I put everything back in my tackle box quickly , except the knife and was ready to leave. I knew I was not going up that trail until I could clearly hear and see the vehicle leave. I believe I would have been attacked if I had, and nobody had cell phones back then. I waited for what seemed like forever to see the lights turn back on, and finally they did. I quickly headed up to my rig and drove back. I have reflected on this night for over thirty years, and it shakes me to my core to think what that man’s intentions were and wonder how many others may not have been as lucky as I was.
I hate to think what he'd have tried to do had you not been armed and willing to use it. Human predators are no different a lot of the time from wild predators. They judge a target by cost, how hurt might they get by going after potential prey. Predators are much less likely to put up a fight when the prey turns on them.
Same. I have always seemed to be able to know a persons intent instantly. I actively try to ignore it sometimes because I worry about being prejudice or something but more often then not I end up being right. What is worse is when they know you see right through them and they hate you for it.
Spent 21'years.in the woods and came to rely on my 3 big dogs plus all the animals that lived around my cabin. I always knew if humans where near by by their actions. Birds would sound an alarm or my squirrels would begin to chirp loudly, thst in turn would alert my dogs, one who's node seemed a bit better than the others would put his head up and sniff the sir then began to trot the property perimeter whoofing. It never failed that within an hour wed see people walking in the distance. Funny thing when living with animals, if you dont harm them they in turn provide a sort of protection/alarm system.
I was in NC one night bringing hurricane helene relief supplies to a church around 10pm and on the way back saw a man on his hands and knees out of the corner of my eye on the shoulder of the road. I immediately got goosebumps and felt like I just saw a ghost. We stopped and made a U turn to find a 64 yr old man with blood on his arms talking about how he had been drugged and wrecked his truck, I couldn’t see the truck as it was about 75 feet from the road with branches and vines all over it from the wreck, but I could hear a dog inside the truck barking, I sat the man down and called 911. As I called 911 I approached the vehicle to see if anyone else was injured inside. when I got about 15 feet away I realized I was seeing the face of a very clearly dead man in the driver seat of the truck through the vines. In that moment I felt one of the most evil demonic presences I have ever felt, I turned around and walked back to the man immediately and started questioning him, he kept saying he had no clue who this man was… but that he had been drugged and woke up and shot this man to death. He said exactly “that body in the truck, I do believe that body to be dead” I responded “how did he die??” He said “I shot that body 3 times”. Right as he’s admitting this murder to me the police are showing up. I had no clue if he still had a weapon on him, I had mine on me… I’m tired of typing but the craziest part about this whole thing is I got it all on video. 20 whole mins of one of the scariest things I’ve ever walked up on… I thought I was just helping a car wreck victim… turns out the 64 yr old man murdered his buddy for trying to stop him from driving drunk. Before I saw the dead body he kept trying to convince me to help him to the truck to get his “phone”. When the cops showed up and put him in handcuffs I walked up to the truck again with the sgt to pull the vines off. When we got a good look inside there was a pistol laying right where he wanted me to bring him to get his “phone”. He probably would’ve killed me too and taken my truck to get away. Stay safe, stay smart, stay vigilant. & Never trust a strangers word. Your instincts aren’t lying. If you want to read more on the story the NC Cherokee co sheriffs office did a post on it. The murderers name was Richard Abrain
Ireland here. I was about 14, left school early and was heading home (about 7 miles) and thumbed a lift (hitch hiked) a man in his 60s pulled up, i got in but the minute i belted up i got this awful feeling and just wanted to get out. He was chatting away and said he was going somewhere but would be heading through my village and he'd drop me on his way back. I lied and said no thank you as my mother was waiting for me at the turn off for my village. He just said ok and pulled up and let me out. I gave out the biggest sigh of relief when i got out of that car and vowed never to get in a strange car again and never did. I walked the rest of the 3 miles home
She is not wrong. While at work at 4:30, I opened the back door to dump out some dirty water. After I closed the door, I felt regret for doing that. I felt like I was being watched. Five minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Dressed as a security guard, he wanted me to open the door. My spidey senses said absolutely not. It was found out later that he went to another business and tried to rob them. The worker opened the door. A man fueling up across the street saw a struggle and called the police. He was arrested, and after a few days in court, he decided to take a plea deal and plead guilty. Listen to your senses. I've had it happen two times, and the second time, I listened, and everything turned out fine. The first time, it was a feeling, and I couldn't shake it. I couldn't understand why I was feeling like I was living my final hours. Woke up the next morning and just kept having this nagging feeling like something bad was going to happen. I just didn't know what until I went to work and was shot in the face during a robbery at the same job. As soon as the guy pulled the sawed off 22 rifle over the counter that I realized that, hmm, I think I figured out why I have been having this feeling. Though I had many coworkers around, I knew something bad was going to happen to me. In the seconds leading up to him shooting me, I just thought, wow, in ten seconds, I'm going to be dead. Weird stuff like that goes through your mind. Luckily, where was shot, the bullet traveled through my cheek and exited just before my ear. It hit my ear lobe, but no damage to my ear. The doctor said I shouldn't have survived because it missed a major artery by your ear. Still enough blood to where the police who responded walked in and thought I was dead. Being 19 at the time, my parents were notified. My mother broke through a police barrier and jumped over the counter to where I was lying on the ground. Very interesting night. What really saved me was that just before he shot, my reaction was to turn away. Otherwise, at three feet away, it would have been an easy headshot. So, anytime something doesn't feel right, I listen to my little voice.
I've read multiple, multiple accounts from people that were hiking, camping, hunting literally in the middle of nowhere. Places where no other people should be for any reason. I mean miles and miles from towns, factories, homes, trails, campsites, etc and they've run across people there. Those accounts ranged from eerie to outright life threatening ordeals. If I ever go do any of those activities, I'm definitely not going unarmed.
I have a beloved place in Wisconsin that I visit and used to live close to... one day, I was there & I wanted to hike up the most inviting path that leads to a beautiful graveyard. It was sunny tree lined path. I took 2 steps and something inside me just screamed "no!" I stopped and then tried again - and then again, I heard "no!" I turned around, walked back to my car and left. I'm really glad that I listen to my inner voice!
A girl I worked with here in the South told a story of growing up in NYC. A creepy guy was following her home one night so she ducked into her favorite pizza joint where the 2 brothers who ran it knew her. She sat in a booth looking out at the guy. They asked her what was sup. She said this guy is following me home from work. They look out and say, "That guy?" She said, "Yeah." They grabbed a bat, ran outside chasing the guy, and came back a little later and said, "You can go home now." Something tells me Old Bob took care of the situation.
Once I went camping with a friend on an island, where there are a lot of people camping. At middle of night, we couldn't sleep and decided to go for a walk. As there are inns there, you can see the path because there are some points of light. Until we arrived at the beach, it was completely pitch black, only moonlight. We were there contemplating the sky when we saw a point of light in the distance on our left side. We looked again and that light began to grow more and more. a dot became a circle and started to get closer. We were both scared to death. What was that coming, very quickly, in the middle of the night? The light came closer, closer and when it got very close, we saw that it was the light from a old man's bicycle Lol And in the end, he was the one who got scared seeing two random people with scared faces in the middle of nowhere in the dark.
A third of all humans can detect north with their eyes closed, when you see a dog about to do a number 2 and they spin around on the spot what the dog is doing most of the time is pooping with its head facing north. So people can detect things but also havent you seen the ex government workers who talk about the remote viewing people and how they can see things, like see where someone is being hidden when they are kidnapped, that stuff is real and well documented...
@@dreddykrugernewwow interesting about the dogs facing north thing I wonder why that is…yes the ability to sense stuff and ques in humans is profound if you know what your doing and how to use it properly
@@dreddykrugernewremote viewing is apart of being a Seer. Its one of God's Gifts to the Human Race as Abilities. Some people are Seers, Prophets, Healers, Polyglot, Magi ect. Psychic and Physical Miracles like Solomon, Joshua, Samson, Moses, Hezekiah ect. As time go on when extraterrestrials merge with mankind and cosmic technologies, most people will unlock Powers by then. The world will be a new Era, especially when the Two Witnessses unlock the Holy Ghost Power of Super Man Prime using White Lantern Ring
My mother always told me, 'Don't ever go against your feelings." Many people have reported feeling odd, scared, disturbed in the woods....there are many theories.....All I know is that when your dog starts pulling back or getting weird, you better run.
Have hiked most of the Central Sierras of California over 25 years. During that time I have encountered methheads, gangbangers testing guns at 10,000ft. , armed Cartel members guarding MJ fields. Have also been stalked twice by cougars. Have always carried a gun, extra mag, knife and medical kit. Retired from law enforcement.
This happened to me! I was on my families 100acre lot and my friend at I were 8years old at the time and we were deep in the woods. We started hearing footsteps and a bald man walked through the trail and we hid in the bushes bc why are you deep im the woods on private property. Survival instincts kicked in.
We used to spend a lot of time running around in the woods back in the day, then Jacob Wetterling happened. I was about his age and that happened in my state. That case really changed everything. It was like everything changed. Nothing was as innocent and pure anymore, and we had to be careful about where we went and who we talked to.
@@mplslawnguy3389 Same here, but it was Ted bundy and a couple of trucker serial killers in my neighborhood of Tumwater and Olympia, Wa. They found Brenda Baker's body in the woods in a state park down the street from our house where we would play as kids. My mom worked for the dentist that identified her from her teeth. Scary childhood memories! My parents were young and dumb and would let us ride our bikes down to the park. Maybe that was 70's parents in general. lol
I grew up in the woods, hunting, running trap lines and if you listen - the woods tell you everything. When the birds and squirrels and bugs go quiet theres a human or predator near
I live in the woods too and I'm not much freaked out about bears or lions, they usually run away when spotted ....but what freaks me out the most is what you described When everything including even the wind stops and there is not one sound whatsoever, as if time is standing still waiting for something to happen next. Fear of the unknown
Some say that 99% of the human psyche operates subconsciously, with only 1% in conscious awareness. If this is true, then listening to your 'intuition' or 'gut feeling' is not superstition; it’s simply respecting the mechanics of the mind. Personally, my intuition often reveals insights about people and situations that are beyond what I consciously perceive or can detect with my five senses. Ignoring the messages from my subconscious would be like disregarding the bigger part of my mind-a dangerous way to live.
Intuition has been minimized it needs to be maximized. Trust in one's self is crucial and very necessary. For if u cannot trust yourself, how can u trust another??
It is not true. The sub- conscious mind is the reactive mind - we have 3 minds - the analytical mind -the reactive mind & the somatic mind . The reactive mind reacts to certain stimulus like smells, noises, words, sights, situations, memories, & many other perception. When you get your mind cleared of the unconscious recordings that contain locks & engrams most of your psychosomatic illnesses & wild mixed up memories will no longer effect your present analytical mind.
I think what is more scarier is when you are in the middle of nowhere and you hear something not very far off and you know you’re being watched. Somethings not right. Happened to me and two friends, we left as fast and as quiet as we could and never ever went back to that place.
I lived off grid up a mountain. I had scary encounters and heard several others. I felt safer living in the city. The human experience was scarier than the paranormal.
Right? So many people reckon living off grid would be safer than a city, but that's not always the case. When you see a hostile man in the woods, you are shit out of luck.
I live in West Texas rural area, I had to go to Las Vegas last week. I've never been so scared. I've been there before but this time was different. I brought my daughter back, she's freaking out because there's nobody else around including no street lights.
@@MultiKm1 Not quite. Take New York for example. The city makes up just 0.5% of the states area, but annually around 60% of its murders happen inside city. So while you may feel safer in the city, you are surrounded by vastly more killers there and at a far greater proximity to them.
I was raking leaves in suburban Houston, Texas 1986 or so. I noticed the dogs in the neighborhood were barking, but blew it off. Then I had that hair on the back of my neck stand up. Weird feeling like something watching me. I looked around with the rake held like a weapon. Saw nothing. So I kept working. Next thing I know something nudging me in the butt. I turn around and there is a freaking wolf. It looked up at me calm as can be with a look that said "Gotcha!" Made friends, gave him a big can of Alpo he downed in two bites. Then he just took off.
I was on a trail crew as a teenager. We were camping in the woods at night and working during the day. There were 12 teens and 2 adult leaders. We had been out there about three weeks. One night we all heard a nightmare happening, it sounded like a hundred people throwing boulders into a canyon and screaming. We were near resort communities but wilderness enough for no one to be out there, plus it was off season. We were supposed to be out there another week. We left that night.
I live in the north east region of Montana in a very remote ranch house with 80 acres. Have seen everything from cougars, panthers, wolves to grizzly and black bears. One night I heard very loud banging noises across my open field by the timbers and thought it had to be people messing around on my property so I got my high beam spot light and shined it across the field towards the timber where the noise came from. I saw a large creature that looked like a big grizzly bear but standing upright and it looked right towards me and I could see it's gleaming eyes in the light and it took off through the timber running upright like a human. It took a couple big lunges and I could no longer see it but the following day I drove my 4 wheeler out to where I seen it and there was a huge log with bark pieces missing on it and also a standing living tree with pieces of bark missing off it where it hand been smacking this log against it. This was about 7 years ago and haven't seen or heard like it since but I'll never forget it.
Bears are terrifying man. Never seen one but I'm from Wisconsin and my family owns a cabin up north 15 mins south of the Michigan border. My grandpa has all kind of pictures of black bears. He told me this one story about when he was walking in the woods down to our dock late at night. He heard sticks crackling to his right and he could see a 6-7ft silhouette about 10-15 feet away. He had a flashlight and shined it at the thing. It was a giant moose just staring at him and he said he's never been more scared in his life. Just a curious moose but absolutely nothing to mess with haha.
The amount of normal people seeing Bigfoot males it hard to say it's not real. UT it must be small in population not to be known. Mountain gorilla's were only discovered very late so it does seem possible in that sense.
People don't believe in that kind of stuff but I completely understand and believe you sir. When you see something that is not supposed to exist, it changes you and really messes with your mind because you sit and think that if what you saw exists, what else exists. Me and my brother were attacked by something here in south east NC while fishing one night.
Joe is looking at her NOW saying, "what did they want?" She casually said "I was 25" Sad but drunk men and a 25 year old women in the woods by herself is a VERY bad combination💀☠😳😣
How is that “usually a bad combination”? This is a daily occurrence throughout America and nothing usually happens. I’d guess 99 percent of the time nothing happens.
Yep We live in the Appalachian mountains on 136 plus acres. We carry all the time, always on alert, creepy when darkness sets in, you cannot see 2 feet in front of you without a flashlight, creepy noises, shadows, animals, you name it 😮
I know exactly what feeling she is talking about. When I was a child, i remember waking up suddenly and thinking something was wrong. Within seconds of waking up, my mum walked by me towards the front door and opened it. Instantly, a ball of flame erupted and within 2 minutes our whole house was on fire. I woke up within a minute of someone deciding to throw a Molotov cocktail bomb at our front door. That feeling I got beforehand is definitely something I'll never forget, and I felt the fear BEFORE anything happened.
I’m African and I live in Africa and have been to the most rural parts of my nation.In my culture there’s what you call “amanwele” where you suddenly feel that there’s a bad spirit close by. It’s not always one individual that can feel the presents of the dark spirit it can happen to a group of people.Example it has happened to me and a few friends when we were in our teens.We were walking in the am’s in jungle when we suddenly felt scared,it’s like there was a bit of a warm air that suddenly changed our moods.
This happened to me, my sister and 3 of our cousins. 5 of us total. I was about 8 years old. Walking in the woods. The feeling was overwhelming, and then my older cousin asked if we felt it. I was astonished it wasn’t just me. Was all of us. We had just laughing and enjoying our walk when the feeling came suddenly. It’s burned into my memory. This never happened again in my life. There must be a supernatural world that we cannot see
@@freebird3348 Problem is, supernatural explanations are perfectly valid in some secluded places. People who live far from cities have seen things science can't explain, and this happens on all continents.
I've worked with old guys that worked in the woods. When "Old Bob" told her she didn't have to worry about that happening again, what that means is that those two drunk dudes probably got their asses stomped by other members of the crew who didn't appreciated them paying her that visit.
I remember one night camping with our Boy Scouts troop in KY we were like 10 and a bunch of bikers drove into our campsite at midnight and started yelling and pulling down our tents. Our scout masters armed with a 45 and a M14 put a stop to it quickly. Shots were fired and not just to scare them. It was a fire fight and only lasted about a minute. It’s a miracle no one was killed.
I live in the PNW and at around age 19 or 20 years I realized that people are my largest threat. I all but stopped using a flashlight at night and found comfort and security when wrapped up in the shadows and darkness. Caught a couple of wannabe burglars in this manner too.
My wife & 2 kids were hiking at Starved Rock IL about 15 years ago. There were people hiking, too, but parts were isolated. 2 guys and a dog were following us. My girls were about 10 & they never picked up on anything. My wife asked me if I had my dad's WWll Navy knife. I left it in the hotel. So dumb. I now have a CCL. My wife & I were creeped out. The guys looked like the guys from deliverence, and the dog was a pit bull Rottweiler combo. Not friendly. Their eyes were evil, about 30 feet away. We took a different path back. They were sitting on a bench looking at us when we arrived at the entrance. But now lots of people were around. We got in our car and left. My wife & I both felt our creep alarms that day.
Yes...lots of freaks at Starved Rock. Way too much rifraf out of Chicago there. And just overall way too many people there now. Not even worth hiking there anymore.
I'm in the woods a lot. People ask me if I'm afraid of bears and mountain lions. I so no. I'm not afraid of the 4 legged animals. I respect them and their space. I am cautious in their space. What I am afraid of is the 2 legged animal.
I love these stories thanks for sharing. I once slept for a week on a remote hiking trail alone in New Mexico. Let me tell you…mystical strange shit. I’ll tell the most human story where my intuition kept telling me to leave the tent after dark. Get my shit and go back to my car. I finally did and smoked a cbd joint once I did, but it smelled strong and was illegal at the time in NM to have weed. On a lone mountain road, a cop car pulls right behind me. Lights on. I sink into my backseat reinforcing, “I’m invisible and part of the backseat, I’m invisible…” 15-20min go by and nobody approaches so I peek my head and see a cop having a standoff with a herd of wild cattle. The cattle start yelling at him and he’s trying to get them off the road. He never shines a light into my car and in the morning I see my tent was trampled by the herd. 😮💨That spot was something else…
I hit the ditch on a rural gravel road in northern Alberta one rainy afternoon…walked a half mile back to a farm house, this was before we all have maps on our phones, and knocked on the door. I got off the porch and wait back a bit. A kid answered the door, like 4 years old…then the mom came to the door a minute later. I got information that I needed to direct the tow truck to me, but I felt terrible approaching that farm on foot. Just bad mojo…but I needed their help. The good old days I guess.
Oh idk why I was picturing her being old during her story. As a 25 year old blonde chick, there’s no way word didn’t get around that she was camping alone out there in the woods which is what led those guys to her.
Always trust your dog. I had a pit once that was trained to stay in the yard so he would wait for people to come in the yard and then wag his tail etc. One night I was sitting in the yard on the swing and he starts growling and moving real slow towards the gate. A man was walking to the neighbors house but right next to the gate. I know my dog could sense that person was not a good person because he wasn't even in the yard and he was warning the guy to not even try it. He never reacted that way to anyone else. Energy is important and gives those spidey senses that tell us something is off. Trust your gut.
I was hunting on the Cumberland Plateau and fog started creeping up from the creek.I started smelling something really muskie to the point I got up and moved,the smell seemed to be following me so after the third move I left the area but it was so unsettling that I left even though I was armed.Only time ever really spooked although around here nobody goes to the woods unarmed.
@badactor3440 No Idea,too foggy to see anything but I don't spook easy and had never even thought of bigfoot around here, but I have never smelled any wild game smell that strong.
@RobertAllen-e4i Bigfoot is known to stink to high Heaven. That was the first thing that came to mind when you mentioned "muskie" smell. Although it's relatively uncommon, there has been reports of Sasquatch in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee.
That is terrifying. The nose knows. The only creepy woods story I have is seeing some really really weird pulsating light. And seeing a bigfoots outline in a sliding glass door the same night
Oh yea, my brother was a timber cruiser for a logging company, and wild animals didn't phase him, but the concern about coming across a human was the thing he worried about... and that really freaked him out, since they would only be on private timberlands, and its not open to public for just going out there, so anybody up there without permission would already be trespassing, and usually up to no good.
The city and country are both majorly different than Beach...regardless...wherever...you have to be careful..esp..when alone...anywhere...even in populated vinicities.....if no one is invited it's startling to hear someone at the door...and also headlights..lights..etc..especially alone...worse if no landline...phone....or a phone....in an isolated area....must be terrifying..
I live in the Appalachian Mtns. What DKB in the 1st story experienced was likely a Sasquatch or other cryptid encounter. They are often felt before seen of heard. They were likely just checking her out. I am a cryptid researcher here in these mountains,and it's always humans which I fear the most.
@@derekolivas6943 Yeah,bc humans would have actually caused a problem - at least more than likely,and as was evident in her 2nd story. Sabe/Sasquatch would likely watch out over her being that she's alone and a woman,doing no harm.
Yes, please loose the subtitles. I had a stalker, in an urban environment. But before I realized he was a stalker, my hair would raise up on my arms and back of my neck every time he crossed my path. I used to run on a large track with lots of other runners, a baseball team was always out there playing, was a very large track. I felt alarmed every time I crossed paths with this creep. He was normal looking, so at first I thought it was just me. But my body was telling me something was very wrong. And then it escalated. And then it got really bad, rapidly. That is until my sister's old boyfriend tackled him and read him the riot act. We never saw him after that again. I was so relieved because he left me creepy notes, on my car. I parked a long way from the track because of lack of parking. I couldn't figure out how he knew which wss my car. And his notes made absolutely no sense, like his brain wasn't firing right; Or like his oars were not all in the water. So trust your instincts! I think the guy was not right mentally, but definitely not emotionally.
“Oars, not all the way in the water” is a nice way of saving a few apples short of a dozen, or a few briancells short of normal it sounds like. Yikes that’s scary I mean if you like someone just talk with them and joke around like normal if it’s meant to be it will be. Don’t do what this guy did
I used to sit out on my deck on summer nights. I would get this feeling someone was out there. Every time I felt it, I would end up seeing a guy on a bike. He was on the street in the neighborhood behind. He was always riding back and forth or in circles. The thing that bothered me was that I always sensed him before I saw him. It always made wonder what kind of energy he was giving off.
When I used to lead community policing meetings in Chicago, I would tell people that if they felt something was off or not right that they should listen to that feeling as it was an instinct developed by humans over thousands of years.
I live in northern California near the Oregon border. Twice in the last few months my dogs, a 110 lb Rottweiler and my 125 lb Corso ran towards the tree line about 200 yards from our front deck and immediately ran back onto our deck in fear. I've never seen them do that before. They are not afraid of anything. Always been our first line of defense. Needless to say I keep my rifle and handguns at the ready. My dogs stay vigilant but only go 40-50 yards towards the treeline. Something is out there. No man or animal could make them retreat like they did. Damn truth.
There's creatures in the woods. Put up your cameras. If a Corso is running back there's def something there. I've been seeing videos about invisible creatures in the woods. This is making me rethink living there. And it happens all over the world. Stay safe!
@@ciaranelson5185 I have security cameras surrounding my home and trailcams set in the treeline on all sides of my property. Lots of wildlife typical of my area on my notification alerts but nothing that would intimidate my "boys". Almost every night they sit on our front porch and watch intently towards the north treeline, occasionally growling. I bring them inside when we turn in. Other than their occasional moving around, they have been relatively calm. I don't know what's going on.
I was hiking up White Mountain near Bishop CA with a buddy on a windy summer day. I was with a friend and we were near the summit- White Mountain is almost as high as Mt. Whitney- over 14,200 feet. We were by ourselves and we see this random guy in shorts coming down from the peak. It was surreal and frightening. If you ever been to eastern california on the other side of the sierra nevadas, you'd know how alien the surroundings look. Its so beautiful and eerie at the same time. It's one of my favorite places to be. But at the same time, it's all wilderness AND the wind alone could kill you. The dude was in shorts, coming down from 14k feet. The weirder part was that he looked outta shape- he was on the pudgy side- he did not look like a hiker at all. When he got close, i had my hand in my holster ready to unholster my Sig Sauer 9mm at him if he tried anything. But he didn't even look at us. He was about 10 yards away at his closest and he was focused on going down the mountain I'm hecka tired going up . Nothing really happened. It was just weird.
As a life long resident of the Whites. You just described about 90% of the people who hike to the top. We are the land of the unfit climbers from out of the area because it looks deceivingly easy.
@staceyman haha I love it. The hike wasnt the problem. It was the high altitude. I love the owens valley. Everything looks magical especially in the winter.
I was the last customer leaving the barber shop just at closing time. All women staff. 2 guys came in as they closed. They looked creepy to me. I sat in my car for a minute then went back in and made small talk. The guys left after a few awkward seconds. One was interested in one of the girls, way out of his league, but was determined to get a date. The women thanked me for being observant and protective.
Growing up within a narcissistic and BPD household, i can detect psychopaths and people like this. I would actually consider myself a covert narc who became accountable. I can still see them. I truly consider them evil, and there are degrees' to it. If you get a "feeling" about someone or something, listen to your gut.
We live in the forest. One time i was playing in the woods with my kids and puppy. We have boulders and love climbing them. I climbed one and sat down, and suddenly something told me to look around for an animal. Then I saw a bear just sitting there watching us from the edge of our neighbors woods. So close! I slid off that rock with the quickness, untied the puppy and we quickly walked out of there 😆 we really do have a sense that tells us if something is near us
I have to admit, that I really can't think of any situation in which a naked baby standing in front of me out of nowhere would NOT be unsettling. Maybe that's just me.
When I was in 4th grade we had a 110 acre farm and I use to always play in the woods. We had a tree we nicknamed the man tree because it's unique shape. One day I was sitting on the tree and I hear my name being called very softly like a whisper. It stopped me and I completely froze for a second in confusion. I looked around and saw nothing. Then I heard my name being called again and my stomach dropped, The voice called out my name again in the same tone. I ran as fast as I could back to the house and seen my mom with the 2 dogs after I emerged from the woods. I asked her if she called for me and she said No. Immediately I started crying. Whatever happened that day I knew was something bad out there watching me play. Still gives me chills.
I was driving down a hill where there was a blind crossroads with traffic lights. Despite the fact that I had the green light, I felt the need to brake hard and, as I did so, a car shot across in front of me having jumped the red light. I had not heard or seen this car approaching because, as I said, the crossroads was blind. I have not idea what made me brake but doing so resulted in saving me from a collision or worse. Never forgot it.
I frequently camped solo a few miles from home. The trail I walked was very familiar to me and I often walked it at night. One night I noticed that a limb had fallen out of a large tree on a hill - approx 50 yards off the trail - I could see by its silhouette against the sky that it was leaning against the trunk of the tree. I made a mental note of it because I was always looking for convenient sources of wood to burn. The next day I went to the location. There was no limb. I did see several very large footprints, a third longer than my size 10 boots. That is the one and only time in my life that I felt scared. Needless to say, I carried a gun with me from that day on.
I was out hiking in Santa Cruz maybe 20 mins away from my car walking. I have hiked many places but I had a sinking feeling in my gut. I cannot explain but I immediately made my way back to the car to the point where I ran the last part. Absolutely terrified I didn’t hear or see anything to make me feel that way. Never felt like that since
He scares me with his research on those missing people. People literally go missing walking in groups. one moment they are with you and next gone. Stories of a dude stripping knacked and then running into the dark treeline never to be seen again as if mind controlled. Scary stuff
I was hiking alone on top of a 12,000 ft moutain in backcountry Colorado a few years ago... just minding my business, exploring the entrance of an abandoned mineshaft, when out of nowhere, i heard a guy and looked up and there was another hiker... in the middle of nowhere, randomly on the top of some mountain, miles away from any civilization. While the interaction was harmless, it still weirded me out that in the hours of hiking in open area on a mountain, where you can see everything in every direction for hundreds of yards, if not miles, some dude just popped out of nowhere to approach me.
@Niallistical lol yeah, I'm not saying he was some Hills have Eyes character, just mentioning it's weird when you're literally in the middle of nowhere, expecting to be by yourself and then you run into someone
The reason it is weird and scary to meet someone in the woods is because of intentions. In a mall it's more publicly open, you know people will be in and out often, and you generally understand anyone walking around is primarily there with the intention of purchasing browsing etc etc. In the woods there isn't much to read off of someone except that they're moving through. You don't know if foraging, tracking or exploring etc. The fear that the intentions could be malicious because you know people won't be in and out of your general location. I think it's pretty basic.
Some people really do have better feelers for danger. Im very empathic and its really easy to feel people's true intentions. It can be torture to be around a toxic family member, coworker, or a friend's GF or wife. You cant bullshit an empath!
@@ramithraghunath1073 ~ Exactly! Heck, it's probably saved my life a few times but it can be unbearable when you have to deal with bad people cause you can so strongly sense their "evil".
As a woman, I had my mother always tell me to listen to listen to my gut instinct. Listening to Diane gave me the Willie’s as once a I literally had goosebumps on my arms and the hair on the back of my neck stand up over a dangerous situation I felt lucky to get out of.
There's definitely areas that feel different than other areas and I'm not sure why. I think there's a lot of factors that contribute to the way an area feels. Sometimes its me and my mood or the weather, temperature and lighting has a lot to do with it, time of day can make an area feel very different. Wind is a big factor, seasons changing. When you can feel winter coming for sure has a feeling about it. Also, your own sense of belonging in areas that are remote make a difference. What your doing in terms of working, exploring, hunting, or just taking a walk. Tracking trespassers can have a strange feeling depending on what the trespasser was up too. Animal experiences can have an affect. They act different at different times of the year and day. Sometimes if your looking for an experience, stay very quiet, move slow, be alone and LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. Your senses start to come alive it's amazing how you can become part of it if you're trying to blend into it rather than impose yourself into an area. Everything around you is affected by your motivation and sensitivity. Ask yourself what kind of an experience you want to have before you go into the woods and bring the mind set and a presence that cultivates what's happening there already to continue even though you are there. Humans have a big, loud, clumsy presence that needs to be toned down in the woods to have an experience of the woods and what go's on when we're not there. They probably need to tone it down everywhere.
I live in an area that has a lot of historic significance, where many Civil War battles and skirmishes took place. Now it's a suburban area of Atlanta. In over 30 years here, I've become aware of places around here that are different. Feel different, or strange things will happen. On the internet a few years ago there was a story of a haunted area and I did a little research and discovered a bloody skirmish had taken place right where that area is... in fact had felt the creek bed through that area was creepy for many years. Then remembered looking at a home (when I was moving here) that had backed up to that land, and remembered really liking the home but upon seeing the backyard and scenery beyond, was super creeped out and said, "Let's go." Even though it's a pretty area. So yes, some areas feel different.
Interesting. I've never explored the East woods, I imagine the history of war in many areas could play a role in ones experience. Again, a person must be open to an experience. A person's own head can play some games with them that can REALLY create the experience on its own as well. There's a level of comfort a person needs to have just being out there. I didn't realize how uncomfortable some people can be out there. When you bring all that with you your kind of setting yourself up.
This can happen even over a short space. I was on the outskirts of an English city and in order to walk to another outskirts area it meant walking 2 miles through the countryside to cut the angle. This was 1 in the afternoon on a sunny day. But that 40 mins or so I was thinking how someone could really hurt me if they want to and there's no one to help. There's a quiet creepiness. I was relieved to get back in the city around masked young Black men with machetes
Omg get this woman her own podcast! 🥰 she has the most chill & down to earth vibes I've ever seen. She knows her stuff & is very wise too! (Reminds me of my favourite aunt Sandra) who also had white/grey hair, but always had the kindest heart & super smart advice for us 💕
I'll never forget reading about a hiker who was hiking in a super remote area and all of a sudden he is face to face with the actor who played Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
I've spent years hiking, camping, and fishing in the eastern Sierra. I was fishing on a remote stream in heavy brush. Out of no where I had an immediate sense that I was being watched and followed. I was unarmed at the time. I immediately moved into open space and hoofed it back to camp with my friends. I dont know if it was man or animal, but I am certain I was being stalked.
One thing more scarier than animals in the woods is other people, if you ever feel like someone is watching you, most of the someone is watching you, always trust your gut feeling
I was staying at my sister’s and woke up about 3am heart racing with fear. I felt like there was danger close by. She lives in the middle of the country with a long dirt driveway and I’ve always felt safe there. Her husband was out of town for work and I immediately started thinking if someone broke in what would I grab for defense, how would I protect the kids. I told her about it the next morning and at the very same time I woke up she also woke up with the same feelings. She started praying to God to hide us from anyone with evil intentions. She’s not a paranoid person as she doesn’t blink at going out in the middle of the night to milk goats. But something woke us up out of a dead sleep with our alarm bells ringing that danger was close
I have lived in a remote area most of my adult life. I have discovered that if human beings show up at your house when you live in a secluded area, they’re usually up to no good.

But you are there....isn't that an unfair assumption
No. @@anthonymichael5078
Yes! I agree. There are some creepy people living out in rural areas. They can totally creep you out.
@anthonymichael5078 I live on a mountain in East Tennessee and in my experience it's not "usually" trouble when strangers knock, but it's such a rarity that an unexpected knock occurs that it always kicks in my spider sense.
I've never had an "incident", but the eerie thing is I have 2 neighbors that could hear me at my place, if I literally screamed (and that's assuming they don't have electronics or tools making noise and that they're home).
In other words, if things get freaky, you're probably on your own.
You're correct, anthonymichael, that "we are there too", but the thing is we're living there.
I'm 66, hike in northwoods Wisconsin with my dogs daily. I watch my dogs, they alert me quietly of wolves, bears, people. One time my aussie froze. I couldn't see what it sensed. She turned took my hand in her mouth and moved me back down the trail. She kept looking back, so did I. When we got to the truck i looked up the trail and saw a couger looking at us. Thank God for my dogs. I also live in a cabin in the woods. I have dogs and weapons, trail cams and a super lock system. No one gets close to my cabin before my dogs alert. I fear the wolves the most....and cougars.

I was pumping gas when an old friend of mine came up a little close. He's happily married, so this was odd. I stepped back a bit, but he came in closer. He politely entered my "space bubble" charmingly and whispered "theres a man behind you watching your moves with bad intent." he then helped me pump my gas and waited until the other man left. He probably saved my life by presenting the idea that i was not alone.
I was a solo young lady, packed up to go camping for the weekend. He was an Angel in that moment, sent from God.
He was an old friend though? HE might have been stalking YOU, using the old "there's a bad man behind you" ruse, and never been a suspect in your disappearance because "he's happily married". Being such a hero, I bet you'd have trusted him completely, right? All too easy, for those with a terrible agenda
1) You're pumping gas? If someone approaches you in a menacing manner you can always hose them down real good. 2) A woman thinks she's being followed. What does she do? Drives straight home. (but of course) Dudes park next to her 1 gets out and goes up to her window. She lowers her window (of course). He pulls a gun, she starts to raise her window. He shoots her (of course) she later dies. Told rather coldly by me but that's life sometimes. True story as told on YT. I won't tell you the rest. It's even more heinous. That friend of yours is truly a friend and observant. You're right he probably saved you. 🙏

Always, ALWAYS, trust your dog.
My English bulldog Betty dog growls at the sound of the neighbors garage door opening 😩 . If she can see my son’s gun on him she growls. If anyone has a tool or something in their hands she growls 😩 . She is terrified of holiday yard blow ups. She just now had a fit because I had my drill in my hand !
Ugh she’s such a chicken .
SWEET as can be and loves to taste small children and babies 😂 But I sometimes wonder if she was punished or threatened excessively in her first year before we got her..
Aside from that, I *absolutely* trust her nose and she has amazing hearing too .. she can hear me quietly open a Payday wrapper underneath the blanket all the way from upstairs with two TVs on..
So if its eating shit your gonna trust it and eat shit also … Lmao
My dog growls at my son’s stuffed teddy bear…should I kill the teddy bear??????
My dog knows when somebody means negative intent even when guised under friendliness. There are people I run into that I already know that they do not like me beneath deceitful smiles and yet my dog will bark or keep distance when close to their presence.
Dogs will growl at their own nutsacks if they get an ache.
Grandma always said to us when we were scared of ghosts......"don't fear the dead, fear the living." Sometimes in some places, solitude is safety from self and others.
I visited your country, the hate and the hostility of big cities Is evident, people dont like each other, and mass immigration makes It worse. That kind of feeling doesn t go away in non Urban enviroment, in the country side where there Is no camera.
Dont get me wrong country side Italy was already scart 30 years ago when Pacciani and cultists rounded around where the "Beast of Satan" committed their deeds.
But country side us? I would not go around without a gun, if i had to camp I would go far away from routes.

I has an experience similar to what Diane shared. She talked about a 'feeling" that someone was out there. I live on a street with no street lights so night is very dark. Cant see anything. I went out to my trash can to throw a bag in there. As soon as I closed the lid I had a strange feeling someone was watching me. Total silence outside, pitch dark. couldn't see anything. I went in the house and grabbed a flashlight inside the front door. I came back out and shined a light in the yard. Dead smack in front of me about 20 feet was a deer staring right at me! How did I know he was looking at me? No sight, no sound. It was like I felt his presence.
Always respect that feeling....never take it lightly....
Other cryptids? What are you an 8 year old? Lol!
It's called "Spidey-sense". 🕷
Was camping one summer with a group of friends up near Wright's Lake in the Sierra Nevada. Sitting around the campfire after dinner, having a few beers. Somebody says "Hey we forgot desert, watermelon." So they slice it up for everybody, and we throw the rinds into the woods behind us when we finish our slice. It's dark, and you're staring into the fire, and you lose your night vision. Fire crackling, small talk and jokes and laughter. Get up to take a leak in the woods, turn on the flashlight to see where I'm going, and there's 2 or 3 deer eating the watermelon rinds not 10 feet from the back of my chair. Scared the shit out of me. Snuck right up on us.

It may well be the case that the vision isnt the one that is getting improved but only the conscious registration of the sight. We smell and see things that don't register in our consciousness Think of how sexual hormones work. Invisible and untraceable by your conscious self, yet bodies know.
you heard it. its not magic.
I have a few hundred acres and I NEVER walk the property without a firearm. NEVER.
You’re not supposed to.
I NEVER walk the forest with a weapon.
Yall not gonna last in Australia lol. We can't even carry a pocket knife and I think legally can't defend yourself until you are struck. Despite guns being illegal it always some how ends up that the wrong people have guns. Honestly getting to the point now that I think we probably need to bring them back. But for now I need to carry a big "walking stick" to have any sense of protection out in the bush.

I used to go fairly deep into the Appalachian woods to forage for morel mushrooms and spread ginseng seeds. I ran into a few people and it was always creepy. Most of the time they were younger kids on four wheelers. One time I ran into a guy who was in his 50s. He seemed normal and dressed nice, like a dad out in the woods. He talked to me and was pleasant, but something seemed off.
Then he offered to show me his "secret morel spot" which freaked me out. First off all I didn't want to know incase I was already aware of the spot, but more flaggishly, no stranger shows you their spots. You don't even want to show friends your spots, and if you do, you make them swear that they will never tell another soul. But this guy kept getting more insistent. Not in a threatening manner, but it felt super sketchy. I told him I was done for the day and headed back to my car.
He may have just been a nice guy trying to spread the morel love, but he might have also buried my corpse out there somewhere. I wasn't trying to find out. I had a bowie knife on me, but I didn't really want to get into a knife fight with some dad guy in the middle of the wilderness over some mushrooms.
Or he wanted to start a homosexual relationship with you, that would take place in the forest everytime you guys went out looking for mushrooms together, alone. He was building up to something for sure. Some people are just disgusting, not always murderers. The amount people out there with a desire to kill random people is SOOOOO tiny, so think about it......
@@jimmypeeps8471 you're getting me all steamed up. Lots of people get murdered in wooded areas. Along trails, camp sites, national parks, ect ect.
He wanted to introduce you to his personal purple mushroom 🍄
I think you were right to follow your instincts. BTW, why do you spread ginseng seeds in the woods?
@@clemdane To come back and harvest in a few years. Really just to spread the plant as much as possible. I probably won't go back to check all of the spots I seeded.
I ran into a guy in the deep woods of WI. I was bird hunting in orange and he was bow hunting in camo. I found him on the ground blood tracking a deer and said hello to be polite. Unfortunately this man had suffered from a severe injury that resulted in, literally, most of his face being caved in. Just eyes and a sunken mouth, fixed in place. It is amazing this man was out and living his best life. I think about him often, but the fear I felt when he turned around is something I remember clearly. It was just not what you ever expect to see
Oh man that had to be hard to hold back your reaction to see him.
@VenomShotYou i have a feeling he knew, I talked a while to be polite and he was nice, talking was a challenge but I could understand him. He was nice, I want to stress that. But man oh man that first 5 seconds I remember, vividly.
Something similar happened to me with a guy whose face got shot off. I was a little girl exploring the 2nd floor of a building I thought was abandoned - I got in through the back, was upstairs walking around exploring the rooms and suddenly I heard the front door open, so I popped my head around the corner and boom there he was! All I remember was his face and he had super long dread locks. Scared me so bad I turned around ran all the way home… I told my mom and she told me he was a really sweet guy & known around the neighborhood. Turns out he got robbed on his way home from work and they shot him in the face 😮

Holy shit I think id die from a heart attack on the spot
As a surfer, I get those same feelings the guest spoke about when she was alone in the woods. Every once in awhile I get them while out in the water. Those sharky feelings where the hairs on your neck just stand up and you suddenly get a chill run down your spine. They don’t happen often, but when they do, I err on the side of caution and just get out of the water. I think anyone who is in tune with nature can get these primal feelings that are buried deep in all our ancestral DNA. The forest can be a beautiful but spooky place if you’re used to living in the city. It’s always good to take precautions when hiking in the wilderness. Go in prepared & know your terrain.
Had that multiple times over my life surfing
I live in Canada, in a very foresty spot, and I've felt this a few times. Once when all the wildlife around me went completely silent and I was in a open area, moments into this silence I saw the biggest healthiest coyote I've ever seen just stroll through the area (it was nearly the size of a wolf). Other times I've never seen what induced the feeling, just had spooky silence where there should've been noise
We never surf alone. ;) Surfing should be shared. Maybe you’d like to check out my friends surfing channel? ua-cam.com/video/ZqP9UTdCvg4/v-deo.htmlsi=vomxfKXfjztGCUXe
We surfed a little in Hawaii. Grandfather told me it's not the shark giving you vibes. It's hunted fish that's giving it off. You're feeling that in the water that make you do as they do. run. 🤙🏾
I grew up on the east coast of Australia. Fully aware I've swam with sharks on the regular. But I know exactly the feeling you're describing. I've always gotten out too. My husband complains at me when I force him out. But he always listens 😂
I've gotten that feeling she's talking about one time in my life. I found a new fishing hole one day, out back roading. So I pulled over and got out to throw a line in, see if it was worth coming back to. The road was along this bluff, so I pulled off and parked right alongside it. Grabbed my rod an reel, and tackle box and went over to the waters edge. As soon as I cast out I got this feeling like I was being watched. I scanned the other side thinking maybe someone was already there, and I just hadn't noticed them. Didn't see or hear anybody. Then out of nowhere I just got this intense fear. I turned around and looked at the top of the bluff behind me, and there was a mountain lion sitting by a tree looking down on me. I froze, I didn't know what to do. I had to go back to my car to leave, but it was sitting about 30 feet above my car. I just started talking really loud, and slowly went to my car. It watched me the whole time, but never made a move toward me. If I hadn't gotten that feeling and turned around, I doubt I'd be here typing this now.
It's such a replicated thing and yet we don't know why we know scientifically
@@Tom_McMurtrythere is immensely more to existence than our science can explain
We are only just chipping away at the vast complexity of the human body. There are parts of our DNA yet undiscovered that do crazy stuff that we don’t understand, such as the placebo effect. In fact the vast majority of genetic material in each body is viral and bacterial rather than human, living mostly in a perfectly balanced symbiotic dance. All that non human dna plays a huge part in deciding our personality, our health and longevity. When we lived in the woods or caves and hunted to eat our bodies developed an inbuilt danger detector. You may have seen the lion but not consciously recognised it, you may have smelled its pheromones despite predators trying to stay upwind ( how do they know ). It’s not supernatural,, everything has a natural explanation even if we can’t figure out what it is.
Had a similar thing happen to me when I was fishing in a belly boat and a nutria came at me from behind. I am absolutely sure it would have attacked me if I had not turned around and confronted it. I was casting towards the shore and just felt like I was in danger. I had to turn around to see what was making me feel like that.

@@jasonwareing905 what?
This is without a doubt the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, and still gives me lasting unease when I talk about it or think of what could have happened that night.
in 1993, I was 21 at the time, and was in town with my girlfriend to stay at her sister’s house in Chico, CA. I wanted to do a little fishing while there, but must admit that I did not have a license, as I was visiting from Oregon. In light of this, I chose to wait until late evening, and head out of town a bit to a more secluded area to try my luck. I drove out of town approximately ten to fifteen miles and found a spot under a bridge. I believe it was the Big Chico Creek.
I got all set up and started casting. I had been there no more than about twenty minutes, when I saw headlights shine on the trees above me. Figuring it was just a passing vehicle, I didn’t think much of it. A short time later I heard something and looked up the makeshift trail I had taken to get under the bridge. All of a sudden, what had to be a flood light turned on, shining right down on me. Thinking it was Police, I set my rod down and put my hands in the air, showing I was not armed.
After several more seconds had passed, the light still shining directly on me, I asked “can you please turn the light off as I could not see anything. Shortly after, the light turned off, but I could not yet see, as I was still regaining my vision from the brightness of the flood light.
Slowly I began to make out the shape of a person. As my vision continued to improve, I could see it was a man with long dirty blonde hair without a shirt on. At this point, I was pretty terrified, as this was probably after 1am in the morning. As I am thinking how I should respond, the guy takes off running down the trail towards me. I am not exaggerating when I say I truly contemplated jumping into the river as I felt my life was in danger.
Shortly before reaching the bottom of the trail, the guy stumbles and falls to the ground. I picked up a knife from the ground beside me I had brought to clean the fish, and tell him not to come any closer. He gets up quickly and walks aggressively towards me, and I tell him again to stay back.
He stops about five feet away, looks me right in my eyes and says ‘What are you doing out here, don’t you know that people get killed out here all the time”? I had no idea what to do or say to this, and told him, I am just here at a friend’s house for the weekend and I did not know that. I have my knife in my hand, holding it slightly behind me and to my side. He gives me the longest, coldest stare I have ever experienced and turns, without saying a word and heads back up the trail.
I put everything back in my tackle box quickly , except the knife and was ready to leave. I knew I was not going up that trail until I could clearly hear and see the vehicle leave. I believe I would have been attacked if I had, and nobody had cell phones back then.
I waited for what seemed like forever to see the lights turn back on, and finally they did. I quickly headed up to my rig and drove back.
I have reflected on this night for over thirty years, and it shakes me to my core to think what that man’s intentions were and wonder how many others may not have been as lucky as I was.
That is horrifying!!
That area has been known to produce gold
it may have been one of his gold digging spots and didn't like claim jumpers around
Damn Chico is crazy
I hate to think what he'd have tried to do had you not been armed and willing to use it. Human predators are no different a lot of the time from wild predators. They judge a target by cost, how hurt might they get by going after potential prey. Predators are much less likely to put up a fight when the prey turns on them.
@@betyatyahoo It was. Believe me!

Spent 21'years.in the woods and came to rely on my 3 big dogs plus all the animals that lived around my cabin. I always knew if humans where near by by their actions. Birds would sound an alarm or my squirrels would begin to chirp loudly, thst in turn would alert my dogs, one who's node seemed a bit better than the others would put his head up and sniff the sir then began to trot the property perimeter whoofing. It never failed that within an hour wed see people walking in the distance. Funny thing when living with animals, if you dont harm them they in turn provide a sort of protection/alarm system.
I was in NC one night bringing hurricane helene relief supplies to a church around 10pm and on the way back saw a man on his hands and knees out of the corner of my eye on the shoulder of the road. I immediately got goosebumps and felt like I just saw a ghost. We stopped and made a U turn to find a 64 yr old man with blood on his arms talking about how he had been drugged and wrecked his truck, I couldn’t see the truck as it was about 75 feet from the road with branches and vines all over it from the wreck, but I could hear a dog inside the truck barking, I sat the man down and called 911. As I called 911 I approached the vehicle to see if anyone else was injured inside. when I got about 15 feet away I realized I was seeing the face of a very clearly dead man in the driver seat of the truck through the vines. In that moment I felt one of the most evil demonic presences I have ever felt, I turned around and walked back to the man immediately and started questioning him, he kept saying he had no clue who this man was… but that he had been drugged and woke up and shot this man to death. He said exactly “that body in the truck, I do believe that body to be dead” I responded “how did he die??” He said “I shot that body 3 times”. Right as he’s admitting this murder to me the police are showing up. I had no clue if he still had a weapon on him, I had mine on me… I’m tired of typing but the craziest part about this whole thing is I got it all on video. 20 whole mins of one of the scariest things I’ve ever walked up on… I thought I was just helping a car wreck victim… turns out the 64 yr old man murdered his buddy for trying to stop him from driving drunk. Before I saw the dead body he kept trying to convince me to help him to the truck to get his “phone”. When the cops showed up and put him in handcuffs I walked up to the truck again with the sgt to pull the vines off. When we got a good look inside there was a pistol laying right where he wanted me to bring him to get his “phone”. He probably would’ve killed me too and taken my truck to get away. Stay safe, stay smart, stay vigilant. & Never trust a strangers word. Your instincts aren’t lying. If you want to read more on the story the NC Cherokee co sheriffs office did a post on it. The murderers name was Richard Abrain

What happened to the dog
Ireland here. I was about 14, left school early and was heading home (about 7 miles) and thumbed a lift (hitch hiked) a man in his 60s pulled up, i got in but the minute i belted up i got this awful feeling and just wanted to get out. He was chatting away and said he was going somewhere but would be heading through my village and he'd drop me on his way back. I lied and said no thank you as my mother was waiting for me at the turn off for my village. He just said ok and pulled up and let me out. I gave out the biggest sigh of relief when i got out of that car and vowed never to get in a strange car again and never did. I walked the rest of the 3 miles home
That horrible feeling you just made a huge error in judgement...I know it well!
He may not have had bad intent toward you in particular
but still may have had bad intent in general which you picked up on
She is not wrong. While at work at 4:30, I opened the back door to dump out some dirty water. After I closed the door, I felt regret for doing that. I felt like I was being watched. Five minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Dressed as a security guard, he wanted me to open the door. My spidey senses said absolutely not. It was found out later that he went to another business and tried to rob them. The worker opened the door. A man fueling up across the street saw a struggle and called the police. He was arrested, and after a few days in court, he decided to take a plea deal and plead guilty. Listen to your senses. I've had it happen two times, and the second time, I listened, and everything turned out fine. The first time, it was a feeling, and I couldn't shake it. I couldn't understand why I was feeling like I was living my final hours. Woke up the next morning and just kept having this nagging feeling like something bad was going to happen. I just didn't know what until I went to work and was shot in the face during a robbery at the same job. As soon as the guy pulled the sawed off 22 rifle over the counter that I realized that, hmm, I think I figured out why I have been having this feeling. Though I had many coworkers around, I knew something bad was going to happen to me. In the seconds leading up to him shooting me, I just thought, wow, in ten seconds, I'm going to be dead. Weird stuff like that goes through your mind. Luckily, where was shot, the bullet traveled through my cheek and exited just before my ear. It hit my ear lobe, but no damage to my ear. The doctor said I shouldn't have survived because it missed a major artery by your ear. Still enough blood to where the police who responded walked in and thought I was dead. Being 19 at the time, my parents were notified. My mother broke through a police barrier and jumped over the counter to where I was lying on the ground. Very interesting night. What really saved me was that just before he shot, my reaction was to turn away. Otherwise, at three feet away, it would have been an easy headshot. So, anytime something doesn't feel right, I listen to my little voice.
Wow, quite a story, thanks for sharing.

I've read multiple, multiple accounts from people that were hiking, camping, hunting literally in the middle of nowhere. Places where no other people should be for any reason. I mean miles and miles from towns, factories, homes, trails, campsites, etc and they've run across people there. Those accounts ranged from eerie to outright life threatening ordeals. If I ever go do any of those activities, I'm definitely not going unarmed.
I have a beloved place in Wisconsin that I visit and used to live close to... one day, I was there & I wanted to hike up the most inviting path that leads to a beautiful graveyard. It was sunny tree lined path. I took 2 steps and something inside me just screamed "no!" I stopped and then tried again - and then again, I heard "no!" I turned around, walked back to my car and left. I'm really glad that I listen to my inner voice!
That's God, feel blessed he speaks to you.
A girl I worked with here in the South told a story of growing up in NYC.

They asked her what was sup. She said this guy is following me home from work. They look out and say, "That guy?" She said, "Yeah." They grabbed a bat, ran outside chasing the guy, and came back a little later and said, "You can go home now." Something tells me Old Bob took care of the situation.

Once I went camping with a friend on an island, where there are a lot of people camping. At middle of night, we couldn't sleep and decided to go for a walk. As there are inns there, you can see the path because there are some points of light. Until we arrived at the beach, it was completely pitch black, only moonlight. We were there contemplating the sky when we saw a point of light in the distance on our left side. We looked again and that light began to grow more and more. a dot became a circle and started to get closer. We were both scared to death. What was that coming, very quickly, in the middle of the night? The light came closer, closer and when it got very close, we saw that it was the light from a old man's bicycle Lol And in the end, he was the one who got scared seeing two random people with scared faces in the middle of nowhere in the dark.

Some say that 99% of the human psyche operates subconsciously, with only 1% in conscious awareness. If this is true, then listening to your 'intuition' or 'gut feeling' is not superstition; it’s simply respecting the mechanics of the mind. Personally, my intuition often reveals insights about people and situations that are beyond what I consciously perceive or can detect with my five senses. Ignoring the messages from my subconscious would be like disregarding the bigger part of my mind-a dangerous way to live.
Intuition has been minimized it needs to be maximized. Trust in one's self is crucial and very necessary. For if u cannot trust yourself, how can u trust another??
What does your intuition say about human sacrifice
This is simply not true. Maybe a certain percentage but, not that one. Also I’ve been situations where intuition was incorrect.
@@xbl4ck7 Take it up with Iain McGilchrist, British psychiatrist and neuroscientist. He's the source.
It is not true. The sub- conscious mind is the reactive mind - we have 3 minds - the analytical mind -the reactive mind & the somatic mind . The reactive mind reacts to certain stimulus like smells, noises, words, sights, situations, memories, & many other perception. When you get your mind cleared of the unconscious recordings that contain locks & engrams most of your psychosomatic illnesses & wild mixed up memories will no longer effect your present analytical mind.
I think what is more scarier is when you are in the middle of nowhere and you hear something not very far off and you know you’re being watched. Somethings not right. Happened to me and two friends, we left as fast and as quiet as we could and never ever went back to that place.

@@MultiKm1 Not quite. Take New York for example. The city makes up just 0.5% of the states area, but annually around 60% of its murders happen inside city. So while you may feel safer in the city, you are surrounded by vastly more killers there and at a far greater proximity to them.
I was raking leaves in suburban Houston, Texas 1986 or so. I noticed the dogs in the neighborhood were barking, but blew it off. Then I had that hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I turn around and there is a freaking wolf. It looked up at me calm as can be with a look that said "Gotcha!" Made friends, gave him a big can of Alpo he downed in two bites. Then he just took off.

I live in the north east region of Montana in a very remote ranch house with 80 acres. Have seen everything from cougars, panthers, wolves to grizzly and black bears. One night I heard very loud banging noises across my open field by the timbers and thought it had to be people messing around on my property so I got my high beam spot light and shined it across the field towards the timber where the noise came from. I saw a large creature that looked like a big grizzly bear but standing upright and it looked right towards me and I could see it's gleaming eyes in the light and it took off through the timber running upright like a human. It took a couple big lunges and I could no longer see it but the following day I drove my 4 wheeler out to where I seen it and there was a huge log with bark pieces missing on it and also a standing living tree with pieces of bark missing off it where it hand been smacking this log against it. This was about 7 years ago and haven't seen or heard like it since but I'll never forget it.
🤔
Bears are terrifying man. Never seen one but I'm from Wisconsin and my family owns a cabin up north 15 mins south of the Michigan border. My grandpa has all kind of pictures of black bears. He told me this one story about when he was walking in the woods down to our dock late at night. He heard sticks crackling to his right and he could see a 6-7ft silhouette about 10-15 feet away. He had a flashlight and shined it at the thing. It was a giant moose just staring at him and he said he's never been more scared in his life. Just a curious moose but absolutely nothing to mess with haha.
The amount of normal people seeing Bigfoot males it hard to say it's not real. UT it must be small in population not to be known. Mountain gorilla's were only discovered very late so it does seem possible in that sense.
People don't believe in that kind of stuff but I completely understand and believe you sir. When you see something that is not supposed to exist, it changes you and really messes with your mind because you sit and think that if what you saw exists, what else exists. Me and my brother were attacked by something here in south east NC while fishing one night.
@@panzersaw88 Where in SENC? Do tell...
Joe is looking at her NOW saying, "what did they want?" She casually said "I was 25" Sad but drunk men and a 25 year old women in the woods by herself is a VERY bad combination💀☠😳😣
Yeh as soon as she said that I was like “Ooooh now I get it”.
@cmale911 😉🤣🤣🤣
Not Always. Stupid generalizations. Not all dudes are rapists.
@@UA-cam304s Who said "always"? Not all bears will eat you.. but why take the risk😉💩
How is that “usually a bad combination”? This is a daily occurrence throughout America and nothing usually happens. I’d guess 99 percent of the time nothing happens.
Yep We live in the Appalachian mountains on 136 plus acres. We carry all the time, always on alert, creepy when darkness sets in, you cannot see 2 feet in front of you without a flashlight, creepy noises, shadows, animals, you name it 😮
Anything that could be considered suspernatural?
Those are old mountains. My family is PA Appalachian since the 1700s.
I know exactly what feeling she is talking about. When I was a child, i remember waking up suddenly and thinking something was wrong. Within seconds of waking up, my mum walked by me towards the front door and opened it. Instantly, a ball of flame erupted and within 2 minutes our whole house was on fire. I woke up within a minute of someone deciding to throw a Molotov cocktail bomb at our front door. That feeling I got beforehand is definitely something I'll never forget, and I felt the fear BEFORE anything happened.
I have been an avid outdoors man all my life and the scariest thing that I ever encountered in the wilds were human.
I’m African and I live in Africa and have been to the most rural parts of my nation.In my culture there’s what you call “amanwele” where you suddenly feel that there’s a bad spirit close by. It’s not always one individual that can feel the presents of the dark spirit it can happen to a group of people.Example it has happened to me and a few friends when we were in our teens.We were walking in the am’s in jungle when we suddenly felt scared,it’s like there was a bit of a warm air that suddenly changed our moods.

Animals
What country?
Big cats? You could probably mount a reasonable argument that we have evolved to sense them, rather than some supernatural explanation.
This happened to me, my sister and 3 of our cousins. 5 of us total. I was about 8 years old.
Walking in the woods.
The feeling was overwhelming, and then my older cousin asked if we felt it. I was astonished it wasn’t just me. Was all of us.
We had just laughing and enjoying our walk when the feeling came suddenly.
It’s burned into my memory.
This never happened again in my life.
There must be a supernatural world that we cannot see
@@freebird3348 Problem is, supernatural explanations are perfectly valid in some secluded places.
People who live far from cities have seen things science can't explain, and this happens on all continents.
I've worked with old guys that worked in the woods. When "Old Bob" told her she didn't have to worry about that happening again, what that means is that those two drunk dudes probably got their asses stomped by other members of the crew who didn't appreciated them paying her that visit.
Truth!! Stomped and possibly fired .
I remember one night camping with our Boy Scouts troop in KY we were like 10 and a bunch of bikers drove into our campsite at midnight and started yelling and pulling down our tents. Our scout masters armed with a 45 and a M14 put a stop to it quickly. Shots were fired and not just to scare them. It was a fire fight and only lasted about a minute. It’s a miracle no one was killed.
I live in the PNW and at around age 19 or 20 years I realized that people are my largest threat. I all but stopped using a flashlight at night and found comfort and security when wrapped up in the shadows and darkness. Caught a couple of wannabe burglars in this manner too.
I scared the hell out of trespassers in the dark that way. On my place & the neighbors. None of them ever came back.
Have super night vision & it's been very helpful like this!
Same. They think the darkness is helpful for them, but little do they know, I thrive in the dark.
@@WhiskeyToro you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it! I didn't see the light until I was already a man.
Blue eyes or brown? Brown us better for day and blue for night typically. Others I'm unsure about the inbetween
My wife & 2 kids were hiking at Starved Rock IL about 15 years ago. There were people hiking, too, but parts were isolated. 2 guys and a dog were following us. My girls were about 10 & they never picked up on anything. My wife asked me if I had my dad's WWll Navy knife. I left it in the hotel. So dumb. I now have a CCL. My wife & I were creeped out. The guys looked like the guys from deliverence, and the dog was a pit bull Rottweiler combo. Not friendly. Their eyes were evil, about 30 feet away. We took a different path back. They were sitting on a bench looking at us when we arrived at the entrance. But now lots of people were around. We got in our car and left. My wife & I both felt our creep alarms that day.
@@falcon3719
Illinois is creepy lib country
Yes...lots of freaks at Starved Rock. Way too much rifraf out of Chicago there. And just overall way too many people there now. Not even worth hiking there anymore.
I'm in the woods a lot. People ask me if I'm afraid of bears and mountain lions. I so no. I'm not afraid of the 4 legged animals. I respect them and their space. I am cautious in their space.
What I am afraid of is the 2 legged animal.
Bigfoot I assume is the 2 legged animal?
Absolutely. Beware the 2 legged animal.
I agree. I've seen what chickens can do to a man.
@@misguidedangel6550plus you have to be on the lookout for the feral people who live in the deep wild woods...very creepy people 😮
@@eeaa-hl9iu😂😂😂😂
I love these stories thanks for sharing. I once slept for a week on a remote hiking trail alone in New Mexico. Let me tell you…mystical strange shit. I’ll tell the most human story where my intuition kept telling me to leave the tent after dark. Get my shit and go back to my car. I finally did and smoked a cbd joint once I did, but it smelled strong and was illegal at the time in NM to have weed. On a lone mountain road, a cop car pulls right behind me. Lights on. I sink into my backseat reinforcing, “I’m invisible and part of the backseat, I’m invisible…” 15-20min go by and nobody approaches so I peek my head and see a cop having a standoff with a herd of wild cattle. The cattle start yelling at him and he’s trying to get them off the road. He never shines a light into my car and in the morning I see my tent was trampled by the herd. 😮💨That spot was something else…
I hit the ditch on a rural gravel road in northern Alberta one rainy afternoon…walked a half mile back to a farm house, this was before we all have maps on our phones, and knocked on the door. I got off the porch and wait back a bit. A kid answered the door, like 4 years old…then the mom came to the door a minute later. I got information that I needed to direct the tow truck to me, but I felt terrible approaching that farm on foot. Just bad mojo…but I needed their help. The good old days I guess.
Can u tell me more
Where's in Alberta.
Oh idk why I was picturing her being old during her story. As a 25 year old blonde chick, there’s no way word didn’t get around that she was camping alone out there in the woods which is what led those guys to her.
Always trust your dog. I had a pit once that was trained to stay in the yard so he would wait for people to come in the yard and then wag his tail etc. One night I was sitting in the yard on the swing and he starts growling and moving real slow towards the gate. A man was walking to the neighbors house but right next to the gate. I know my dog could sense that person was not a good person because he wasn't even in the yard and he was warning the guy to not even try it. He never reacted that way to anyone else. Energy is important and gives those spidey senses that tell us something is off. Trust your gut.
Glad she lived to write a book about it. Lots of people aren't so lucky.
I’ve gotten that same feeling from people that I’ve run into late at night while on patrol as a police officer by myself.
Likewise, my brother in blue. Predators on the prowl. Stay safe.
My first two years on patrol were on midnights, if your gut feeling tells you something ain’t right with this dude or situation do not ignore it
@@eeaa-hl9iu You too my brother.
The fear I feel for the police and military...
You should be in pairs at all time.
Always listen to your gut it will never ever lead you to the wrong choice.
Yes, always. I tell my kids the same thing.
I was hunting on the Cumberland Plateau and fog started creeping up from the creek.I started smelling something really muskie to the point I got up and moved,the smell seemed to be following me so after the third move I left the area but it was so unsettling that I left even though I was armed.Only time ever really spooked although around here nobody goes to the woods unarmed.
Sasquatch?
@badactor3440 No Idea,too foggy to see anything but I don't spook easy and had never even thought of bigfoot around here, but I have never smelled any wild game smell that strong.
@RobertAllen-e4i
Bigfoot is known to stink to high Heaven.
That was the first thing that came to mind when you mentioned "muskie" smell.
Although it's relatively uncommon, there has been reports of Sasquatch in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee.
Samsquanch
That is terrifying. The nose knows. The only creepy woods story I have is seeing some really really weird pulsating light. And seeing a bigfoots outline in a sliding glass door the same night
Oh yea, my brother was a timber cruiser for a logging company, and wild animals didn't phase him, but the concern about coming across a human was the thing he worried about... and that really freaked him out, since they would only be on private timberlands, and its not open to public for just going out there, so anybody up there without permission would already be trespassing, and usually up to no good.
If you’re from the woods, if you’re in the city, there’s a lot of weird stuff.
The city and country are both majorly different than Beach...regardless...wherever...you have to be careful..esp..when alone...anywhere...even in populated vinicities.....if no one is invited it's startling to hear someone at the door...and also headlights..lights..etc..especially alone...worse if no landline...phone....or a phone....in an isolated area....must be terrifying..
I live in the Appalachian Mtns. What DKB in the 1st story experienced was likely a Sasquatch or other cryptid encounter. They are often felt before seen of heard. They were likely just checking her out.
I am a cryptid researcher here in these mountains,and it's always humans which I fear the most.
I knew it was skookum
@@derekolivas6943 Yeah,bc humans would have actually caused a problem - at least more than likely,and as was evident in her 2nd story. Sabe/Sasquatch would likely watch out over her being that she's alone and a woman,doing no harm.

@@ricknofzinger Responded a man w no life,no real interests. Might as well bury you now before you're even dead.
Yes, please loose the subtitles.
I had a stalker, in an urban environment. But before I realized he was a stalker, my hair would raise up on my arms and back of my neck every time he crossed my path. I used to run on a large track with lots of other runners, a baseball team was always out there playing, was a very large track.
I felt alarmed every time I crossed paths with this creep. He was normal looking, so at first I thought it was just me. But my body was telling me something was very wrong. And then it escalated. And then it got really bad, rapidly. That is until my sister's old boyfriend tackled him and read him the riot act. We never saw him after that again. I was so relieved because he left me creepy notes, on my car. I parked a long way from the track because of lack of parking. I couldn't figure out how he knew which wss my car. And his notes made absolutely no sense, like his brain wasn't firing right; Or like his oars were not all in the water. So trust your instincts!
I think the guy was not right mentally, but definitely not emotionally.
Glad you're okay. Was a Victim Advocate for years & stalkers ALWAYS need to be taken very seriously, there is no reasoning with them.
Stalking is a form of mental illness. As well as a crime.
“Oars, not all the way in the water” is a nice way of saving a few apples short of a dozen, or a few briancells short of normal it sounds like. Yikes that’s scary I mean if you like someone just talk with them and joke around like normal if it’s meant to be it will be. Don’t do what this guy did
I used to sit out on my deck on summer nights. I would get this feeling someone was out there. Every time I felt it, I would end up seeing a guy on a bike. He was on the street in the neighborhood behind. He was always riding back and forth or in circles. The thing that bothered me was that I always sensed him before I saw him. It always made wonder what kind of energy he was giving off.
That sucks. Schizophrenic maybe?
When I used to lead community policing meetings in Chicago, I would tell people that if they felt something was off or not right that they should listen to that feeling as it was an instinct developed by humans over thousands of years.
I live in northern California near the Oregon border. Twice in the last few months my dogs, a 110 lb Rottweiler and my 125 lb Corso ran towards the tree line about 200 yards from our front deck and immediately ran back onto our deck in fear. I've never seen them do that before. They are not afraid of anything. Always been our first line of defense. Needless to say I keep my rifle and handguns at the ready. My dogs stay vigilant but only go 40-50 yards towards the treeline. Something is out there. No man or animal could make them retreat like they did. Damn truth.
This is common with bigfoot or dogman sightings. Dogs know that they have no chance against these creatures.
There's creatures in the woods. Put up your cameras. If a Corso is running back there's def something there. I've been seeing videos about invisible creatures in the woods. This is making me rethink living there. And it happens all over the world. Stay safe!
@@ciaranelson5185 I have security cameras surrounding my home and trailcams set in the treeline on all sides of my property. Lots of wildlife typical of my area on my notification alerts but nothing that would intimidate my "boys". Almost every night they sit on our front porch and watch intently towards the north treeline, occasionally growling. I bring them inside when we turn in. Other than their occasional moving around, they have been relatively calm. I don't know what's going on.
I was hiking up White Mountain near Bishop CA with a buddy on a windy summer day. I was with a friend and we were near the summit- White Mountain is almost as high as Mt. Whitney- over 14,200 feet. We were by ourselves and we see this random guy in shorts coming down from the peak. It was surreal and frightening.
If you ever been to eastern california on the other side of the sierra nevadas, you'd know how alien the surroundings look. Its so beautiful and eerie at the same time. It's one of my favorite places to be. But at the same time, it's all wilderness AND the wind alone could kill you. The dude was in shorts, coming down from 14k feet. The weirder part was that he looked outta shape- he was on the pudgy side- he did not look like a hiker at all. When he got close, i had my hand in my holster ready to unholster my Sig Sauer 9mm at him if he tried anything. But he didn't even look at us. He was about 10 yards away at his closest and he was focused on going down the mountain I'm hecka tired going up . Nothing really happened. It was just weird.
You met an absolute Chad and got a little intimidated. It’s alright, happens to the best. Learn from it.
Probably just a stoner lol
As a life long resident of the Whites. You just described about 90% of the people who hike to the top. We are the land of the unfit climbers from out of the area because it looks deceivingly easy.
@staceyman haha I love it. The hike wasnt the problem. It was the high altitude. I love the owens valley. Everything looks magical especially in the winter.
I was the last customer leaving the barber shop just at closing time. All women staff.
2 guys came in as they closed. They looked creepy to me. I sat in my car for a minute then went back in and made small talk. The guys left after a few awkward seconds. One was interested in one of the girls, way out of his league, but was determined to get a date. The women thanked me for being observant and protective.

Hi from NZ
Growing up within a narcissistic and BPD household, i can detect psychopaths and people like this. I would actually consider myself a covert narc who became accountable. I can still see them. I truly consider them evil, and there are degrees' to it. If you get a "feeling" about someone or something, listen to your gut.
What are your best tell signs?
We live in the forest. One time i was playing in the woods with my kids and puppy. We have boulders and love climbing them. I climbed one and sat down, and suddenly something told me to look around for an animal. Then I saw a bear just sitting there watching us from the edge of our neighbors woods. So close! I slid off that rock with the quickness, untied the puppy and we quickly walked out of there 😆 we really do have a sense that tells us if something is near us
I have to admit, that I really can't think of any situation in which a naked baby standing in front of me out of nowhere would NOT be unsettling. Maybe that's just me.
No that's your brain protecting you because somethings clearly wrong if a rando baby appears out of nowhere 😂
There have been black eyed children encountered in the woods before.
When I was in 4th grade we had a 110 acre farm and I use to always play in the woods. We had a tree we nicknamed the man tree because it's unique shape. One day I was sitting on the tree and I hear my name being called very softly like a whisper. It stopped me and I completely froze for a second in confusion. I looked around and saw nothing. Then I heard my name being called again and my stomach dropped, The voice called out my name again in the same tone. I ran as fast as I could back to the house and seen my mom with the 2 dogs after I emerged from the woods. I asked her if she called for me and she said No. Immediately I started crying. Whatever happened that day I knew was something bad out there watching me play. Still gives me chills.

I was driving down a hill where there was a blind crossroads with traffic lights. Despite the fact that I had the green light, I felt the need to brake hard and, as I did so, a car shot across in front of me having jumped the red light. I had not heard or seen this car approaching because, as I said, the crossroads was blind. I have not idea what made me brake but doing so resulted in saving me from a collision or worse. Never forgot it.
I frequently camped solo a few miles from home. The trail I walked was very familiar to me and I often walked it at night. One night I noticed that a limb had fallen out of a large tree on a hill - approx 50 yards off the trail - I could see by its silhouette against the sky that it was leaning against the trunk of the tree. I made a mental note of it because I was always looking for convenient sources of wood to burn. The next day I went to the location. There was no limb. I did see several very large footprints, a third longer than my size 10 boots. That is the one and only time in my life that I felt scared. Needless to say, I carried a gun with me from that day on.

Never felt like that since

He scares me with his research on those missing people. People literally go missing walking in groups. one moment they are with you and next gone. Stories of a dude stripping knacked and then running into the dark treeline never to be seen again as if mind controlled. Scary stuff
I was hiking alone on top of a 12,000 ft moutain in backcountry Colorado a few years ago... just minding my business, exploring the entrance of an abandoned mineshaft, when out of nowhere, i heard a guy and looked up and there was another hiker... in the middle of nowhere, randomly on the top of some mountain, miles away from any civilization. While the interaction was harmless, it still weirded me out that in the hours of hiking in open area on a mountain, where you can see everything in every direction for hundreds of yards, if not miles, some dude just popped out of nowhere to approach me.
Just a legit hiker then and has probably commented on your encounter somewhere on the internet.
@Niallistical lol yeah, I'm not saying he was some Hills have Eyes character, just mentioning it's weird when you're literally in the middle of nowhere, expecting to be by yourself and then you run into someone

This is why you don't go in the woods alone, Joe.
?Did you possibly mean to type: This is why you shouldn't go in the woods alone, Joe.
That feeling has helped keep humans alive since our inception.
The reason it is weird and scary to meet someone in the woods is because of intentions. In a mall it's more publicly open, you know people will be in and out often, and you generally understand anyone walking around is primarily there with the intention of purchasing browsing etc etc. In the woods there isn't much to read off of someone except that they're moving through. You don't know if foraging, tracking or exploring etc. The fear that the intentions could be malicious because you know people won't be in and out of your general location. I think it's pretty basic.
Some people really do have better feelers for danger. Im very empathic and its really easy to feel people's true intentions. It can be torture to be around a toxic family member, coworker, or a friend's GF or wife. You cant bullshit an empath!
I feel u man, its a curse and blessing at the same time
@@ramithraghunath1073 ~ Exactly! Heck, it's probably saved my life a few times but it can be unbearable when you have to deal with bad people cause you can so strongly sense their "evil".
As a woman, I had my mother always tell me to listen to listen to my gut instinct. Listening to Diane gave me the Willie’s as once a I literally had goosebumps on my arms and the hair on the back of my neck stand up over a dangerous situation I felt lucky to get out of.
There's definitely areas that feel different than other areas and I'm not sure why. I think there's a lot of factors that contribute to the way an area feels. Sometimes its me and my mood or the weather, temperature and lighting has a lot to do with it, time of day can make an area feel very different. Wind is a big factor, seasons changing. When you can feel winter coming for sure has a feeling about it. Also, your own sense of belonging in areas that are remote make a difference. What your doing in terms of working, exploring, hunting, or just taking a walk. Tracking trespassers can have a strange feeling depending on what the trespasser was up too. Animal experiences can have an affect. They act different at different times of the year and day. Sometimes if your looking for an experience, stay very quiet, move slow, be alone and LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. Your senses start to come alive it's amazing how you can become part of it if you're trying to blend into it rather than impose yourself into an area. Everything around you is affected by your motivation and sensitivity. Ask yourself what kind of an experience you want to have before you go into the woods and bring the mind set and a presence that cultivates what's happening there already to continue even though you are there. Humans have a big, loud, clumsy presence that needs to be toned down in the woods to have an experience of the woods and what go's on when we're not there. They probably need to tone it down everywhere.
VERY. WELL. SAID.
I live in an area that has a lot of historic significance, where many Civil War battles and skirmishes took place. Now it's a suburban area of Atlanta. In over 30 years here, I've become aware of places around here that are different. Feel different, or strange things will happen. On the internet a few years ago there was a story of a haunted area and I did a little research and discovered a bloody skirmish had taken place right where that area is... in fact had felt the creek bed through that area was creepy for many years. Then remembered looking at a home (when I was moving here) that had backed up to that land, and remembered really liking the home but upon seeing the backyard and scenery beyond, was super creeped out and said, "Let's go." Even though it's a pretty area. So yes, some areas feel different.
Interesting. I've never explored the East woods, I imagine the history of war in many areas could play a role in ones experience. Again, a person must be open to an experience. A person's own head can play some games with them that can REALLY create the experience on its own as well. There's a level of comfort a person needs to have just being out there. I didn't realize how uncomfortable some people can be out there. When you bring all that with you your kind of setting yourself up.
They tell assassins not to look at the person when they are moving in because they will feel you looking at them
I have done experiments staring at people in different locations and it usually does get them to look directly at me.
Always side eye and don't concentrate too hard.

This can happen even over a short space.
I was on the outskirts of an English city and in order to walk to another outskirts area it meant walking 2 miles through the countryside to cut the angle.
This was 1 in the afternoon on a sunny day. But that 40 mins or so I was thinking how someone could really hurt me if they want to and there's no one to help. There's a quiet creepiness.
I was relieved to get back in the city around masked young Black men with machetes

I'll never forget reading about a hiker who was hiking in a super remote area and all of a sudden he is face to face with the actor who played Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
Buffalo Bill was super skinny and weak. But I know what you mean.

So true in her story. You never know which kind of dog you're going to run into.
I've spent years hiking, camping, and fishing in the eastern Sierra. I was fishing on a remote stream in heavy brush. Out of no where I had an immediate sense that I was being watched and followed. I was unarmed at the time. I immediately moved into open space and hoofed it back to camp with my friends. I dont know if it was man or animal, but I am certain I was being stalked.
One thing more scarier than animals in the woods is other people, if you ever feel like someone is watching you, most of the someone is watching you, always trust your gut feeling
5:48 when you finally figured it out 🤣
Live in Minnesota, farm land. Always in the woods. You realize how we're all just animals when silence hits and you hear nothing.
I was staying at my sister’s and woke up about 3am heart racing with fear. I felt like there was danger close by. She lives in the middle of the country with a long dirt driveway and I’ve always felt safe there. Her husband was out of town for work and I immediately started thinking if someone broke in what would I grab for defense, how would I protect the kids. I told her about it the next morning and at the very same time I woke up she also woke up with the same feelings. She started praying to God to hide us from anyone with evil intentions. She’s not a paranoid person as she doesn’t blink at going out in the middle of the night to milk goats. But something woke us up out of a dead sleep with our alarm bells ringing that danger was close
