11 Scary Forest Encounters Caught By YouTubers

All of these YouTubers were brave enough to enter the forest, but after these encounters, none of them were able to stay for much longer. 11. A YouTuber named bloodzack12 is investigating a forest that’s supposedly haunted.

He and his friend don’t see anything for a long time until they come across some weird discarded opera mask laying on top of an old dirty clothes pile. A short distance away they find another opera mask hanging up in the trees. They decide to take this one home and study it for clues.

They are talking about what to do next when bloodzack12 notices something hunched over in front of them. Someone dressed in all black looks up at them from the thickets and then gives a short chase. I have a hard time believing this video is real because of the movie-like sound effects and timing, but I guess it’s possible.

Let me know if you think they were genuinely being chased by some maniac lurking in the woods or if the third person was just a friend. 10. A YouTuber named HolaBible lives in the middle of the forest in Oregon, far away from civilization.

So when he hears noises outside of his house late at night, he curiously pokes around his backyard with a camera to find the source. It isn’t long before he comes across an object that looks out of place. It looks like it could just be a rock or something, but he’s memorized this area well enough to know it’s foreign in nature.

He zooms in. Then he says something out loud to himself and draws unwanted attention. A thin humanoid creature cranes its impossibly long neck in his direction.

Look closely and you’ll even see a surprised expression on its face, almost as if it has been caught doing something secretive. I can’t tell if it’s feasting on an animal or maybe even burying something in the ground. He spins around and runs away before we get a chance to figure out what it’s doing for sure.

I guess this video could just be special effects, but I can’t tell for certain. Maybe a follow-up video taken during the day would give us more conclusive evidence. 9.

A YouTuber named High Gear and his friend are riding dirt bikes in the Russian woods when one of them almost gets their head taken clean off. His friend ducks just in time to avoid a steel cable that’s been stretched tightly between two trees. The tripwire would have done some serious damage if he hadn’t moved out of the way.

They think it’s a trap set by some psycho lurking in the forest. You can hear the anger and disgust in his voice as he talks about what they should do next. He even talks about hiding in the woods for a while and getting revenge on whoever returns to the spot.

Ultimately, they decide to simply disarm the trap and take the wire cable with them. If this video is real, then whoever set this trap must still be out there waiting for their next chance, so I hope High Gear and his friend stay safe out there. 8.

Brin is ready to take a hike through the infamous Aokigahara forest in Mt. Fuji, Japan. It isn’t long before he finds a dark and foreboding entrance.

He’s not very far inside when he comes across an abandoned bike. Laying on the seat is the open packaging for a kitchen knife. Sadly, it is clear that this person came here with one clear purpose.

A short while later he comes across a bag that is empty except for a note. He tries to read the Japanese writing and comes up short. If you could read the message, then please share what it says with me so that we’ll know once and for all.

As soon as he’s finished reading, a crow caws directly overhead. It’s an ominous sign for sure, so Brin decides to get out of there before anything bad happens. 7.

A YouTuber named Sweet Drams is shooting off Roman Candles in celebration of the Fourth of July when a shrill scream pierces the night air. They track the noise for well over a minute until it becomes louder and more distinct. At the end of a short journey, standing a very close distance away, they discover the shrieking source, hunched over and alone.

He slowly backs away from the bent-over gray humanoid and then goes into an all-out run. The creature gives chase and Sweet Drams turns around to find it swiping at him through the air. I can’t tell if this is an actual humanoid or just one of their friends with makeup on, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide.

All of the other videos on his channel are just him playing video games – nothing else like this one. 6. A YouTuber named North by Wildwest is enjoying Christmas with the family when suddenly a low rumbling noise from the woods gets everyone’s attention.

They see something dart behind the garage, and everyone rushes out the door for a closer look. Soon they see the large dark outline of a large creature stomping off in the distance. They don’t see it again for a long time, but then it reappears along their property line for a bit longer before disappearing for good.

At first I thought this video was probably fake because I did not hear any genuine fear in their voices, but then I realized they simply sounded uncertain of the situation themselves, which is reasonable. After all, this could be a real forest creature or someone in a gorilla suit. It could even be a neighbor playing a prank on them for all they know.

But I do think, given these possibilities, that their lackluster reaction is genuine. 5. A YouTuber named GAURVAZONE is examining a notoriously haunted road in New Delhi, India.

They idle their car and wait in the darkness for a while to see what happens next. I was starting to think the video could be fake until I noticed one part in particular. What appears to be two yellowish eyes briefly stare at them before disappearing.

I was thinking that this could just be a reflection of the car’s brake lights, but if that was the case, then the lights should be red, not yellow. I also don’t know what would catch the light’s reflection since they are on a desolate road in the middle of nowhere. The strange eyes, if that’s what they were, disappear and never return, not even when the cameraman zooms in for a closer look.

4. Seany Explores takes a Ouija board into the forest and places it just outside of a haunted cottage where a man took the life of his spouse. It isn’t long before his electromagnetic frequency reader starts going crazy, so he and his friends know they are in the right place and set up the board.

Soon they are channeling the spirit of a small boy who only refers to himself by the initials “S. F. ” They ask the boy for his age and some other questions, but apparently, it’s only interested in trying to warn them about a hidden danger.

“R-U-N” it spells, so they get out of there fast without properly ending the ceremony. When Seany Explores remembers that he needs to select “goodbye” or risk becoming possessed, he discovers that he can’t move the pointer without exerting an extreme amount of force. It’s as if something is not letting him move.

You can see the pointer barely moving despite Seany pressing very hard, but I guess he could be pressing straight down instead of forward to create this illusion. I think this video is probably real, but I can’t tell for sure, so give me your best guess and let’s figure it out together. 3.

Will & Westen have been seeing a strange man walking around their house for a few days now, and they are determined to get it on camera so that people will finally believe them. This time, when it comes around again, the two split up and start recording. Westen captures the giant dark outline of a man and goes running off to find Will.

They both seem more excited than scared, which is strange, but I guess that could be a normal reaction considering they have been seeing this person for days and have not been harmed. This could definitely be someone messing with them, but there’s something about the overall pace of this video that seems real. Here is another picture that Will caught to further verify the story.

Whoever it is, hopefully, they stay in the woods and comes no closer to their home. 2. A YouTuber named Johny Paranormal decides to also go into the infamous Aokigahara forest.

He boosts the sound of his microphone to capture every paranormal sound, and he is surprised at what he records. For example, tell me if you hear a demonic growl here. Or a quick coughing noise here, despite Johny Paranormal being all alone.

Or a second person quietly whispering the word “help”. These creepy sounds continue to follow him throughout the entire video, which is roughly an hour and a half long. I think that’s way more editing than most people would be willing to put into a fake video, so I think there’s a strong possibility that this is real.

What’s especially concerning is this demonic noise that follows him wherever he goes. If Johny Paranormal really was surrounded by the supernatural, then I hope nothing followed him out of the forest. Before we get to number 1, my name is Chills and I hope you’re enjoying my narration.

1. A YouTuber named encounters26 is fishing late at night in Bishopville, Maryland when he comes across something unnatural in the forest. A silent hulking figure makes its way through the murky swampland, apparently trying to get away quickly without being noticed.

encounters26 believes this to be some sort of lizardman creature, which would explain why the creature does not make any noise as it tries to escape the flashlight’s glare. I was almost positive this was just a person in the suit until it turned its back to the camera. You can see some sort of sharp white scales coming out of its back, almost like a dinosaur.

And its arms look way too skinny to be a person’s.
