19 TRUE Terrifying Park Ranger Horror Stories (Dogman,Sasquatch, Wendigo,Werewolf,Bigfoot,Creepy)

[Music] I had been working at the greywood national park for 10 years I loved my job and the serenity that the park offered the sound of birds whispering and chirping about their day filled my head as I watched the sun rise over the mountains and turn the pink clouds into a brilliant orange also I knew every inch of the park like the back of my hand as a park ranger I've seen and heard a lot of strange things over the years some of them are hard to explain and others are downright spooky but it's all

part of the job and I've learned to take it in stride one of the strangest stories I've heard happened a few years ago a group of hikers had gone missing in the woods and we launched a massive search and rescue operation we calmed the forest for days but we couldn't find any trace of them it was like they had vanished Into Thin Air then a week later one of the hikers stumbled Out of the Woods he was disoriented and confused and he kept muttering about how the forest had swallowed them up we took him to

the hospital and he eventually recovered but he never spoke about what had happened in the woods another odd occurrence happened when a group of campers reported seeing strange lights in the sky they described them as bright orbs that seem to move in a pattern we investigated but we couldn't find any evidence of a UFO or anything like that but the campers were so convinced that they had seen something otherworldly that they refused to stay in the park any longer however there was one area that I always avoided the Whispering Woods a dense and dark part

of the forest where people claimed to hear strange Whispers at night it was a patch of forest where the trees grew close together and Tangled branches blocked out most of the light from the Moon the canopy was so thick that it housed a complete layer of epiphytes plants that grow in trees but never touch the ground in some places hanging Vines stretched from tree to tree and gave a glimpse through the Treetops like ropes holding an invisible net up high I hated to think about what might be lurking in the dark there some said it

was ghosts Whispering While others said it was the Restless spirits of trees that had been felled in a great storm many years ago whatever the case I never went near it one day I was on my routine Patrol in the drizzly foggy Forest the musty scent of old leaves and damp soil leaked into the air as I brushed past the nameless trees a low droning grew louder and I spotted a silhouette through the Mist it took me several moments to adjust my vision and make out that it was an elk suddenly I came across a

group of terrified hikers they were huddled together their faces were pale and their eyes wide with fear they were trembling and clutching at each other their bodies tense and braced as if expecting an attack their clothes were disheveled and streak with dirt and sweat and their breathing was shallow and Rapid they claimed that they had ventured into the Whispering Woods and had heard Eerie voices urging them to go deeper into the forest the hikers had barely made it out and their pale faces were enough for me to take their claims seriously officer thank good goodness

you're here we heard these strange voices in the woods and we don't know what to do he said his voice quivering with fear I nodded trying to calm them down can you tell me more about the voices you heard another hiker a woman with short curly hair spoke up they were like Whispers you know but they were so clear and they seemed to be coming from all around us we couldn't understand what they were saying but it was like they were urging us to go deeper into the woods I frowned taking mental notes did you

see anything unusual in the forest the hikers shook their heads in unison no nothing but the trees seemed to be closing in on us and we felt like we were being watched said another hiker a young man with a backpack I scanned the area looking for any signs of danger all right just follow the path and leave the woods for now I said and the group did so as the sun began to set said I decided to investigate the woods and put an end to this mystery I ventured into the forest with a flashlight and

walkie-talkie in hand the sunsik peaked through the canopy of trees barely touching the ground and leaving everything in a deep shade the Shadows stretched out like tendrils reaching into the distance Mist loomed in the air making the trees seem bigger and more imposing the wind picked up howling softly and rustling the leaves of the trees as if beckoning me forward a strange Stillness hung in the air as if something hidden waited in the shadows in the distance I heard faint Whispers barely audible on the Wind as I was getting deeper the air became colder and

I tried to ignore the chill that ran down my spine then I stopped in the middle of a small clearing and started to listen the place was bathed in a deep and Eerie Darkness the Moonlight filtering in through the canopy of trees the Shadows of the trees stretched out like tendrils reaching deep into the darkness the Mist loomed in the air making the trees seem bigger and more imposing the ground was damp and muddy littered with pine needles and Fallen branches a hush crept through the night air interrupted only by the soft chirping of crickets

and the occasional croak of a frog the breeze rustled through the leaves of the surrounding trees and an owl hooted in the distance then I started hearing them but they did not come from the forest they were in my head they were low almost inaudible yet highly unsettling it's as if a thousand tiny voices were speaking at once but all at once every syllable was whispered in otherworldly tongue full of unknown sounds and unfamiliar syllables it felt like a cacophony of unearthly sounds that reverberated through my mind then I could make out a sentence go

away as I stood there the ominous tone of the words sent an immediate shiver down my spine it felt like someone or something was warning me of an impending danger and my mind quickly processed the potential risks of staying in the area any longer without a moment's hesitation I turned on my heels and ran away out from the forest adrenaline coursed through my veins fueling my Quick Escape as every step felt like a matter of life for death I could sense the presence of an unseen danger lurking in the shadows and my heart r with

every passing moment the dense underbrush and Tangled branches seemed to conspire against me but I pushed on fighting my way through the obstacles in my path my breathing became ragged and my heart beat faster and louder as I ran for my life finally I emerged from the forest gasping for breath and I realized that my whole body was trembling with fear the warning had been too intense to ignore and I was grateful that I had heed it I took a moment to collect myself and to calm my racing thoughts trying to make sense of what

had just happened in the depths of the foreoing forest what the hell was it I muttered to myself in the comforting safety of my car while driving home 20 M away when I returned home no matter how hard I tried the memory of The foreoing Whispers still lingered in my mind those voices were enough to keep me awake late into the night my thoughts filled with Dread and confusion as to what had happened in the forest I decided to research the area in an effort to uncover the source of the mysterious Whispers I scoured historic

records and digital newspaper clippings hoping to find some evidence of what could have been lurking in that Forest what I found were only reports of people hearing The Whispers also I did find news articles with evidence of disappearances and strange sightings but I was not sure if they were relevant or not the thing is those reports were from different parts of the forest each year I was looking for a pattern but there was nothing that could explain what had caused those Whispers although I didn't discover any conclusive explanation for the phenomenon I heard in the

forest that night I could say was certainty that there was something strange lurking beneath its surface I did not understand it yet the next day I was so scared that I called and sick to work I needed a rest to put myself together and process the event of the previous night I looked out of the window the sky was a deep shade of gray with heavy clouds that blotted out the Sun and concealed any hint of blue in their Shadows rain poured down in sheets puddles forming in low-lying areas and overflowing into the streets the

world outside was blurry and distorted an endless landscape of gray and Mist the rain tapped heavily outside like a symphony of drums creating a mesmerizing rhythm the windows were blurred with droplets creating a static soundtrack from The Raindrops hitting the glass the wind whipped through the trees and the Thunder rumbled like waves crashing against the shore and the lightning flashed briefly like an explosion of light I reclined on my couch and listened to the raindrops but a few minutes later I turned on the television soon a report about a forest came up as the news

of the day huge rocks trees and debris were strewn across the land the force of the landslide had upturned the entire terrain leaving a mangled mess that stretched for Miles heavy Boulders have come crashing down from the mountain and there is destruction everywhere huge cracks had formed in the ground and deep ravines had been created as far as the eye could see pools of Muddy Water reflected the dull sky and a thick Haze hung in the air then I realized it was the forest where I had been working for years the forest was completely destroyed

by a landslide good morning we begin this morning with a breaking news story a massive Landslide has struck greywood National Park causing extensive damage and destruction the reporter said people were walking around carrying equipment and searching for survivors the landslide occurred early this morning and it has completely destroyed the park there are no reported fatalities at this time but many people are Miss in the cause of the landslide is currently unknown but officials say that recent heavy rainfall may have played a role the park was a popular destination for hikers nature enthusiasts and tourists it

is estimated that millions of dollars in damage have been done to the park infrastructure and Facilities this is a tragedy the National Park Forest was a place of natural beauty and now it's gone I can't believe it a local resident said to the reporter recovery efforts are underway and emergency services are on the scene however the park is expected to remain closed for an indefinite period our thoughts are with those who have been affected by this disaster the reporter finished his news report I couldn't believe what I was seeing and my jaw hung open in

disbelief suddenly everything clicked into place The Whispers were not meant to cause harm they had been trying to warn us all this time the forest seemed to know its death was coming in August of 26 I was working in Northern California and was interested in finding Big Foot prins I have a friend who is a member of the Hoopa First Nation I contacted him and then spoke to an elder I was taken to an area where some Footprints had just been found being skeptical I took my right boot off and step down next to the

footprint I am 7' 1 tall and weigh 395 lb and wear a size 17 street shoe or a size 19 boot as boot sizes are often mislabeled I am of Scott and Lakota Sue lineage and speak a number of First Nation languages after putting on my boots we heard a screaming howl my friend started saying oh ma was coming and we had to leave my friend Dave told his Elder about what I had done and we went back to the site 3 hours later there were numerous large Footprints surrounding mine and what I believed to

be a large finger hole in the middle of my footprint I was contacted a couple of weeks later and invited back to the reservation as they normally lose a good portion of their apple crop to om ma but in 26 they didn't lose anything they wanted to know if I could come back every year and walk around Barefoot to intimidate Omar and if I have any big friends my size Omar either saw me with the much shorter Native Indians and thought I was another om or recognized the footprint as a threat the Elder thought Omar

didn't want a confrontation with something almost as big as he and left the area the Omar footprint was the same length as mine but an inch and half wider at the ball and 3/4 of an inch wider at the heel the depth of the print was the same I spoken with some so-called experts from the BF row and from the Bigfoot discovery project and got laughed at but then they wanted me to come with them and speak to the Bigfoot via Bullhorn in either native language I rather not be used by someone who is too

narrow-minded for me to speak to the kiais literally the people of the north who don't comb their hair Bigfoot I have seen a werewolf creature it spoke to me and ran toward me I was 14 so over 28 years ago I had been using Ouija boards for weeks prior with my friend Angela and had contacted what we thought was a little girl named Emily Carter my friends and I were out front of my house when our friend Michelle started skipping and acting like a young child a very odd Vibe was present Angela and I called

out to Emily and with that my hand on my heart and on my three children's lives a large wolf figure appeared instead of my friend Michelle levitated and in this voice deep groly said don't ever call me Emily Carter again it then at an intense speed ran towards us Angela and myself with that it was gone and Michelle was back to normal the thing is both Angela and I saw this she spoke first so I know it was not just me it happened for years I have tried to make sense of it research what it

was look at why it happened I experienced many odd things at that time I believe due to using the Ouija board I never after this nor ever will use it again after that experience if I had not experienced it I wouldn't believe it so I'm not asking for belief simply letting you know Roman 4 seen it too and believe you yet on the positive it's shown me dark and in doing so confirmed there has to be light this happened in an area of Kentucky called Kettle Creek on 500 acres called God land when I was

a teenage girl I walked up on this thing bent over in the berry bushes after crossing a tiny Creek I had a friend's dog with me and she spotted it before I did the dog went crazy like I had not seen her do before she was lunging at the thing snarling barking growling and snapping the air toward this thing I was glancing back and forth between the dog and what I thought was a black bear the dog is trying to keep the focus on the creature so I could Escape I'm freaking out inside my head

as I'm deathly afraid of bears as my eyes went back to the creature it stood up it was now facing me it had its head barely turned as I watched as it looked at both me and the dog simultaneously there was no expression on its face that I could tell except something that seemed serious I locked eyes with it for several seconds and couldn't understand what I was looking at I had a full view of its face taking in as much detail as I could even even though I was scared witless its face was not

of a bear no snout or protruding nose it had hair outlining the structure of its face black with a reddish tint around the forehead and its cheeks the eyes seemed to hold an expression but I couldn't read it I was perplexed at what I was seeing there was no beard or mustache on its face but there was hair across the upper part of the cheeks the face seemed rounded the eyes were big and glistened dark brown eyes with a hint of white along the outer side of the eyeballs the lashes were dark not sure if

it was black or dark brown the nose was sort of like a human nose but much bigger and slightly spread out its mouth was big almost too big the lips were thin I never saw any teeth thank the stars for that for some reason my eyes were glued to its mouth I don't understand why then I heard the words it said control the dog or it will be no more at that point I looked at the dog and tried to coax her to me I looked back at this thing and couldn't figure out how it

spoke to me without its mouth moving my eyes were fixed on the mouth again and I again heard the same words but this time more demanding I grabbed the dog by the Scruff and tried to pull her alongside me but she broke my grasp as I looked up at this thing I was staring at the eyes which were focused down on the dog I know if I didn't grab the dog again it would die so I grabbed a firmer grip and I pulled her to me a strange ease surrounded me and the dog as I

began pushing it to my left and off the boulder at my back as I pushed the dog further my eyes were on the dog and knocked this thing I released my grip on the dog and she took off without me towards the front Meadow I turned briefly back toward this thing to see it slightly turning and bending back down in the blackberry bushes then I saw it had SW sing breasts it was a female why didn't I look at the full body I decided to leave this thing be since it didn't hurt me or eat

me like the stories I'd heard from the people around this land that night just before the sun went down I heard a voice in my head this time it felt deeper than the first it said now that you have seen us we will have to come get you that voice scared me so badly that I packed up all my things and left early the next morning I didn't say anything to anyone on the land I couldn't tell them something I had no clue about I understood from the second voice it was her brother and not

sure what he meant by coming to get you I think in a way this was the opening for my learning from them and about them I had no knowledge about Bigfoot until the early 1990s that's when I first saw Snippets of the Patterson or gimin film I didn't even know other people had experiences I didn't know that there were more than those I had experienced until I saw that film I hitchhiked all over the US and stayed alone in my travels I didn't like traveling with other people I liked being able to take my time

or travel swiftly to my next destination it's unheard of these days for a young teenage girl to hitchhike the us but that was my life and I loved it being able to live in the peaceful Wilds my grandmother passed away in a horrific way she was neglected by her caregiver the person she loved the most he was physically present but was not unkind to her in her last months he was just a lazy ignorant and unpleasant individual because of him I stopped visiting he was not only my half brother but had been an abuser throughout

my life then something strange happened I heard my grandmother's voice telling me that my aunt was mean and a traitor trying to claim half of her house we had discussions about it not confrontational but more like back and forth conversations as I defended my aunt believing she wasn't like that however it turned out my aunt was indeed expecting to receive half of the house this left me puzzled wondering about the true nature of the situation it was Gunder season in northern Wisconsin I was was sitting in an open tree stand that was relatively low to

the ground in front of me to my left was Dent Shrubbery and to my right there was an opening before the wood started all of the sudden I heard some rustling in the bushes to the left two little fluff balls came tumbling out into the open area initially I had no idea what they were I was intently focused on them trying to figure out what animal this was then I heard the deepest and scariest growling coming from behind me I immediately froze next thing I knew I had a mother Bobcat circling my tree it might

have only been a minute or two but it felt like an eternity she continued circling the tree growling at me and never taking her gaze off of me finally the Cubs decided they were done playing and everyone moved on I will never forget the sound of that growl and the intensity of the Bobcat's eyes staring at me after I came back in I told the story story to my dad he seemed rather excited saying that he hasn't seen any wild bobcats in the area yet however I did not feel so lucky about the encounter at

the time this incident happened around 11:00 p.m. at night my daughter was home alone as she lives with a relative who was out of town she called me at 11:22 and she was terrified she met mentioned hearing something walking back and forth by her bedroom window she also said she looked out the window when she first heard it and saw something big and black really massive she described the thing as being about 3 to 4T above the bottom of the window when I went down to look behind the house the following morning I stood by

the window I am 5'4 and my eyes just reached the bottom of the window so I figured this thing must have been 7 to 8 ft tall we live in a small village of fewer than 500 people and there are a lot of bushes and trees between the houses their house is close to the beach and there's a forest surrounding the town now I've never known my daughter to be afraid of anything but last night when I went to pick her up she was shaking like a leaf and hysterical it took me almost an hour

to calm her down I questioned her about what happened and she called me about 5 minutes after she first saw it she was too scared to move when I got down there I would not look behind the house but she was hiding in my relative's closet she said it was walking back and forth right behind the house describing the footsteps as sounding like someone very large walking on two feet kind of like a stomping my daughter is usually very down to earth and not prone to Dramatics when I first went down there I didn't really

know what was going on just that my daughter was extremely scared but when I went up to the house my hair felt like it was standing on end and I had goosebumps really bad I was scared and I didn't know why there are quite a few other stories about sightings close to town and one was less than a mile away additionally there have been other sightings on a nearby Road by several people in fact there are probably too many for me to tell about I go walking in the Woods near my place and three terrifying

things have happened and every single one was in the same section of Trail the first was one of the earliest times I went walking I wasn't entirely sure of my timing to get to the opposite end of the woods and back and I ended up walking 2 three RDS of the way back in the dark I had a flashlight which I could use part of the time but wasn't able to leave on I would flash it on set my course and walk until I felt I needed to check again I'm walking through the pitch dark

and I hear something about 50 yards back scream it scared the [ __ ] out of me I picked up my Pace a bit when suddenly whatever it was screamed again about 15 ft away at my 11:00 I hadn't heard anything move and I booked it I leaned later that it may have been foxes but I never went walking out there again without a means of self-defense the second time was in late afternoon walk same spot on the trail I was walking and it was almost disney-like birds singing bugs chirping squirrels squirreling there was a

small Breeze and it was lovely out Suddenly at the exact same time the wind stopped the sun dropped behind a cloud and every single animal stopped doing anything the entire Woods went completely still and silent I had never understood deafening silence until that moment I tensed up and kept moving and about 10 seconds later sound returned and everything went back to normal I took the same way back and it didn't happen again the third time was about a month later I was walking down that way and I was looking about a little more as this

time I was out at midday and it was as bright as Deep Woods gets I noticed something off the trail and went to look at it I found a dear trail that I could follow and realized that the high grass hid a deep Ditch off that trail that the river cut out during flooding it had been dry so I dropped into it I'm a big dude at about 6.5 ft tall and the edge of this ditch was at my eye level and probably about 10 ft across I decided to follow it and come out at

the river and then work my way down the bank until I hit the trail again I walked about 25 ft and had to work over a tree that had collapsed into the ditch at a curve in its path I came to the other side and froze there was deer everywhere not deer a single deer spread over the entirety of the ditch the ribs were closest the skull was across the ditch from them and all the other bones were scattered about like it had hit a land mine there was a definite stench to the area and

the bones were dry but still had senu strung about them in spots it took me all of about 3 seconds to realize that I was standing in something's dining room I backed up to the tree used it as my point of agress from the ditch and ignoring the voice in my head saying not to bust straight through the underbrush to the path busted straight through the underbrush to the path I came out at you guessed it that creepy spot on the woods trail I walked Swifty to a different Trail and walked through the open field

to get home I don't know precisely what lives in that section of the woods but it always freaks me out to see parents taking their toddlers out there to walk it's a curvy path up to that section which is a straight away with flat ground and the underbrush making a well-defined path I know people let their kids run up and down it since they can see all the way to end and the kids have the ability to run freely without being out of sight I know it's probably not going to happen but I always mentally

see a kid running away from his parents down the path a rustle of brush a flash of fur and the sound of Little Billy being carried off into the woods my next encounter with a possible Dogman was in December 2016 I own my own business and outside the building I found a trail of huge prints each marked with two claw marks and a single file Trail I investigated the prince took pictures and cast the best one I've had other strange experiences as well I've heard knocking on the side of the building and noises banging around

upstairs I've seen a large wolf and there are no wolv wolves in southern Wisconsin sitting in the parking lot next door watching my window I've also witnessed UFOs across the highway in the corn fields and orbs around my building one late night a UFO came towards me and I heard a loud metallic voice say my name and order me to do something although I can't recall what I then experienced missing time when I was texting a co-worker repeatedly and we both ended up in the parking lot 3 hours later not knowing how she got out

there I believe I have an implant in my chest and when I showed it to someone they confirmed it it's about an inch long and half an inch wide just under the skin on my chest my coworker also has an implant that we believe is related to our experiences she remembers the Grays that took us and has seen them before in my parking lot she knows what they sound like and has also seen the wolf run across the road in front of her one night on her way home I believe my experiences entirely I've known

myself for years now and my sons also know me my case makes me wonder if as muufo n believes the Dogman is a screen for the Grays in my case I could believe that I've been targeted and I'm afraid to speak out because I believe that when I do bad things happen to me and my family I've also taken pictures of the UFO getting closer and closer to my business and orbs and several pictures I'm roxan 41 years old and currently living in Napa County I want to share a story from 1962 when I was

just 6 years old living in San Francisco with my mother and my 9-year-old sister Denise we were playing in our backyard which was part of a big old Dutch Colonial House a two story Beauty in San Francisco my mother hailed from England and had that lovely English accent my sister and I were in the backyard and I had a favorite tree I loved to climb there was a perfect groove where I would sit and lose myself in my thoughts sometimes even talking to my tree which I'd affectionately named so there I was up in my

tree swinging from its branches while my sister the lady of the family picked flowers I lost track of her activities as I was engrossed in my tree climbing adventure our mother's voice came faintly from the patio calling out Rox and Denise dinner time our house was enormous and it was challenging to hear her from the backyard I could barely make out her call so I decided to rush for the back door shouting I'll get Denise I ran back to find Denise to let her know it was almost dinner time but she was nowhere in the

backyard I figured she might be up to something mischievous even though we weren't supposed to venture beyond the fence as there was an empty lot next door our house was at a kind of kitty corner with the neighboring house next door and an empty lot filled with grass beside it as I hopped up onto the fence balancing on a 2x4 and straining to see over I scanned the empty lot wondering where Denise had gone what I witnessed next horrified me there she was lying down and two men were with her one of the men knelt

while my sister's head hung limply in his lap she seemed unconscious unresponsive the other man was bent over her with a syringe poised to inject her I stood there in stunned silence initially unable to believe my eyes especially because of how strangely they were dressed these men weren't wearing black jackets they had on black capes and Zoro style hats it wasn't until I Grew Older that I realized the resemblance to Zoro as the man prepared to give her the injection I screamed my sister's name as loudly as I could panic I yelled leave my sister

alone and broke into tears in my fright I slipped off the bench getting a million splinters in my palm which I hardly felt at the time I bolted towards the house to get my mother but I stumbled and fell into the brick flower bed we had my instincts screamed at me to save my sister there was no time to fetch my mother I hopped back onto the fence a height I had never managed before but to my bewilderment the men had vanished Denise was waking up and I asked her what had happened who those men

were and why they were doing this to her I was freaking out being only 6 years old her response was confusing she seemed unaware of the incident she asked me what was wrong why I looked so scared and why I was so pale I tried to explain what had transpired but she dismissed it saying oh brother she even offered to come over the fence with me still groggy and looking like she had just woken up I went back into the house and decided not to tell my mother as I was sure it would terrify her

instead I confided in my father in 1993 my friends and I were heading out to a local bar one night there were four of us in the car cruising down a road surrounded by dense Woods as we drove something caught our attention what we initially believed to be a helicopter flashing its lights on the ground we assumed it was involved in some police operation perhaps searching for a suspect who had broken into a house or a potential drug dealer we found ourselves stopped at a traffic light just sitting in the car watching this lengthy beam

of light we speculated that the police must have caught someone as the light abruptly stopped at one point and then continued on tracing through various lights further down the road we thought they might try to stop us from getting to our destination then the light suddenly stopped and pointed down at the ground we all agreed they got him the light Switched Off and the next thing we knew we were at another traffic light still observing this so-called police helicopter well we thought it was a police helicopter at the time although most of us are skeptical

now it couldn't have been one because when it decided to leave it vanished finished in an instant it was gone within 10 seconds flat and we couldn't even keep track of it when we finally reached the club we were headed to we had only been inside for about 20 minutes when a friend tapped me on the shoulder and said look we all turned to see four men walking in dressed in black suits now this was unusual because we hadn't started drinking yet and it was odd to see four guys in black suits entering a nightclub

what made it even weirder was that they were wearing sunglasses and you just don't walk into a club with sunglasses on at night right it's usually for safety to avoid tripping over things or injuring yourself however they complied when the bouncer asked them to remove their sunglasses as they took off their Shades we noticed their eyes they were kind of dark with a peculiar grayish Hue and it felt like Their Eyes Were Watching our every move they maintained their distance consistently standing about 10 or 5 ft away from us as we moved around the bar

about those eyes I would describe them as having a strange grayish color with black and the Cataract part and a light gray or blue gray tone these four guys were all about the same height dressed the same and they even had those Eerie identical eyes in 1995 something incredibly strange happened to me although the man is involved never gave me his name it all started one night after I had finished work I found myself stopped at a red traffic light and then the next thing I knew I was 20 M away in an hour had

passed at that time I had no knowledge of missing time or anything of the sort so I simply brushed it off as some bizarre occurrence and didn't think much of it about a week later I was out and had pulled into a gas station to refuel once again it was night time I recall a very tall man impeccably dressed in a black suit approaching me he told me that I was going to give him a ride naturally I hesitated and said no why don't you ask someone else for a ride but he was insistant and

declared no you're going to give me a ride in a rush of anxiety I capped the gas tank and hurried around to the driver's side of my car I thought the passenger side was locked but when I got into the car car I discovered he had somehow entered the car already he forcibly pulled me in and threatened to kill me if I kept screaming he made it clear he only wanted me to drive him around he kept repeating nothing has happened to you you won't remember anything nothing happened to you as I drove I came

to a stop sign and he looked at me and said I know what you're trying to do and if the police pull us over I will immediately kill you the constant refrain was nothing happened to you nothing happened to you you'll never tell anybody that anything happened we eventually ended up in the middle of nowhere and I was still trembling with fear he got out of the car and when I looked at him it was as if his eyes weren't there he simply said leave now because I don't want to hurt you I wasted no

time in driving away and as I did I began to cry uncontrollably after escaping from that horrifying encounter I returned to town and drove around until I found a police officer they told me that the police had already been looking for me because the clerk at the liquor store had seen the man get into my car and heard me scream they were searching for me my car and a man in a black suit who had climbed into my car however they never found him and he disappeared Without a Trace since then I've had several incidents

that have left me too terrified to drive at night anymore more on those occasions a black car would pull up behind me flashing its lights seemingly trying to get me to pull over my only thought was to get home as quickly as possible and I've avoided driving at night ever since I have not thought of this in a while but recently saw a show talking about the Mothman that triggered my memory of an encounter I had in 2016 it was late late September in Chester West Virginia Hancock County early in the morning but daylight as

I walked across town I approached one of the churches in the center of town this church has a huge cross on the top of the roof I noticed something big and black on top of that cross as I got closer I could not keep my eyes off of it as I was trying to see what it was my curiosity was peaked as I reached the church and could get the best view this thing was at least 5 ft tall fall all black and crouched down the horizontal beam of the cross it looked almost like a

bird but huge I was more Curious than I was scared and wanted to get a better view or see what it would do so I began to shout out to it just as it turned its head looked down at me and then wooa took flight I could then see that it did indeed have wings that must have had a very wide total span as it flew off into the direction of the bridge across town where I could no longer see it I was amazed my heart was pounding as I thought to myself was that a

Mothman I wish I had captured a picture or video for proof but in the moment I honestly was just so in awe I didn't even think of it until later but I have read similar reports of sightings all throughout the Ohio Valley from Ohio to Pennsylvania and down to Kentucky I just wanted to put this out there so that someone else like me doesn't think they are crazy and that I've seen it too when I was about 13 years old I went trout fishing with my mother and Aunt on the White River in Arkansas we

were staying at a motel in Bull Sholes one morning we drove to a remote area of the river to fish via an unknown dirt road we stopped to fish a Bend of the River on the opposite side of the river which was to the West there was a tall Stone Bluff with a slight overhang from erosion on the east side there was flatter land with 12 to 20t thin scrub trees about 20 to 30 ft from the water as the river was low while my mother and Aunt were fishing off the bank I decided to

try my luck further up the river about 300 yard away and just out of sight from my mother while I was fishing along the bank I began to hear rustling sounds in the trees and shrubs behind me I looked in the direction of the noise and could see the tops of these thin trees moving as if something were walking through them and pushing them to the side due to the thickness of the vegetation I couldn't see what was actually moving the trees I stood and observed this activity for 2 to 3 minutes I began hearing

grunting type sounds that were very deep and substantial these sounds were similar but different from the grunt sounds a bull would make the movement of the trees began to appear as if something were shaking the trees at this point and instead of moving through them it seemed that whatever was making the noises was only about 10 ft inside the brush yet I couldn't see what it was feeling nervous I noticed that whatever was in the brush seemed to move with me step for step as I walked the movement in the trees became more forceful with

the sounds of large branches breaking as it moved when I got within sight of my mom which was about 50 yard away all activities stopped I informed my mother that there was something in the brush following me but of course she Shrugged it off within a few moments we decided to leave as we were not catching any fish the anticipation was palpable as I finalized the purchase of my new hunting property deep in the rugged Texas Wilderness the land was Untamed teeming with game and a thrill for any Hunter like me little did I know

that this new acquisition would lead to a horrifying encounter that would haunt me for the rest of my days I quickly set up trail cameras throughout the dense forest eager to get a sense of the wildlife on my new land the first few weeks were uneventful capturing images of deer raccoons and the occasional bear but one crisp autumn morning as I checked the latest trail camera photos my excitement turned to unease there amidst the ordinary animal captures was a pict that sent chills down my spine it was a dark massive figure covered in fur with

a human-like face staring with its gray dead eyes directly into the camera it was unmistakable a Sasquatch the legendary creature that had been whispered about in hushed tones by hunters and locals for Generations my heart pounded as I examined the photo over and over surely it was some weirdo in a costume perhaps an inbred black bear I kept making excuses as to what it was in order to comfort myself I knew the consequences of sharing this with anyone I'd be ridiculed deemed a Madman obviously no one would believe me so naturally the need to prove

what I had seen nod at me determined to find answers I decided to venture into the woods with my loyal hunting dog Max by my side the day was overcast the forest eerily silent as Max and I hiked deeper into the woods the anticipation weighed heavily on me as excited as I may have been I was terrified deep down though I figured I probably wouldn't even encounter it hours passed and the sun began its descent just as I had given up hope we heard it a low guttural growl resonating through the trees my hand instinctively

went to the rifle slung over my shoulder I signaled for Max to stay close but the faithful dog growled his hackles raised suddenly it emerged from the Shadows that familiar massive dark figure covered in matted black fur with piercing eyes that held a deep Primal intelligence it was said Sasquatch and it had found us fear gripped me hard and my heart raced as I raised my rifle not intending to harm the creature but only to Ward it off the Sasquatch with a speed that defied its size lunged forward its massive arms closing around Max my

loyal dog L out a heart-wrenching Yelp as the creature's grip tightened I fired my rifle but missed completely as the Beast flew about the thick Woods carrying my buddy Max in its filthy grip the world seemed to slow down and I watched an abject horror as Max was being torn apart by the Monstrous Beast the sasquatch's eyes bore into mine an intelligence in them that sent a shiver down my spine with Max's lifeless body cradled in its arms the s Squatch turned and vanished back into the forest leaving behind a shaken and anguished Hunter I

was left in the darkening Woods the weight of guilt and grief pressing down on me I wanted to cry but yet I was emotionless I'd sought proof but the cost was higher than I could have ever imagined as I made my way back to my cabin the forest's once familiar Beauty now held a Sinister Aura the Sasquatch was no longer a legend it was a brutal reality that had torn my world apart and I would forever be haunted by the memory of that Fateful Encounter the chilling scream of the Sasquatch echoed in my ears a

reminder that the line between myth and reality had blurred and the forest held Secrets more terrifying than I had ever imagined hi I'm contacting you along with a few other men of God as I saw something in the night sky with my own two eyes I'm a reformed Christian my faith is in Christ Jesus alone and I believe in the inherent word of God I've been researching what I saw since it happened and I cannot with absolute certainty determine what it was or its meaning it's very important to me to know how to proceed from

here and I'm contacting you to see if you have any information or wisdom about this and what I should do with it I live in Slave Lake Alberta Canada and there were many many fires burning during during this time I'm now going to give you the details below I was still awake late on the evening of August 13th 2023 and I remembered that the persa's meteor shower was happening on August 12th as I was still up I thought that I'd go outside onto my deck and observe the sky and maybe catch a glimpse of the

meteor shower it was a clear calm night with no wind it was a warm night and the night sky was crystal clear I saw a couple of satellites go by very high in the sky they were the size of pin dots I was initially looking South I then turned my eyes to look Northwest and I could see the Big Dipper I then looked West and saw an orangey silver-edged glowing sphere of light that was extremely brightly lit and the colors were moving and swirling within it I thought to myself that looks weird as I was

puzzled as it got closer to my house and to where I was on the deck it continued traveling on a straight course not turning or varying its height it made no sound it came from the Western sky and went East as it came closer it definitely appeared to be the likeness of a bird a large fiery orange bird this bird was mainly orange a fiery orange with silvery white flickering along the edges of its entire body and wings and the colors we were constantly undulating within it its body and entire being appeared to be statically

electrically charged the orange and bright electric white would move and undulate and the colors would move and Vary as well it was very bright and very obviously a bird type of thing or being it had a medium long neck and I could see it turn its head to look down to its left towards the street and neighbors below it it would alternate from looking straight ahead to looking down to its left it was going east it appeared to be looking at the street below along my front yard and neighbors along both sides of my street

it did not seem that it saw me nor did it look at me or towards me its neck glowed a purple gray and its eyes lit up and looked electric blue or white it never flapped its wings yet it was able to maintain the same speed and height or altitude it I had to approximate how high up it was I would say about 1 km it appeared to be between 2 to 3 in wide in the sky if I were to hold up my arm extend my hand out and use my index finger and thumb

to measure it in the sky throughout this time I was struggling to comprehend what I was seeing I watched it and it continued going east until I lost sight of it this happened on August 13th 2023 from 11:55 p.m. to August 14th 12:04 a.m. 2023 I swear what I've shared is true I'm sure you're wondering about my character as a person I can assure you I'm not some nut looking for attention I'm a non-smoker non-drinker and have never done drugs and am not taking any prescription medications I'm of Sound Mind and Spirit I'm sending this

to you and I'm asking you if you can advise me as to what I saw and what do I do with this observation I was on a late night hike in a local Forest known for coyotes ganging up on humans it was a full moon and we were chilling out smoking underneath the moon I'm on the phone talking to my grandpa and he's telling me he's lighting a fat one up for me and I hear this rustling in the brush next to me I turn around and the guys with me start screaming bloody murder I

turn around to see a fox yelling and running past them as the men are running towards the fox and scaring themselves and the fox even more a hunter told me this story when I was younger about 16 years ago he was raccoon hunting in the mountains around Blair Wyoming around 11:00 p.m. a new moonight so no natural lighting as typical for raccoon Hunters he had three hunting dogs each with a locator collar for in an event the dogs trailed off and didn't return to the hunter also the use of flashlights are limited while hunting at

dark only use white when needed if that green or red lens is recommended as the dogs caught a scent they took off through the mountain the hunter listening for his dogs to do what they are trained to do Tri a raccoon and bark and howl to let the hunter know they got one treed but this night was different he didn't hear his dogs he instead heard this loud scream or Screech deep sound that neither resembled a human or animal he kned out of the mountains thinking he'll return during the light to get the dogs being

careful not to run and make too much noise as wild animals love chasing about an hour of hiking back to his truck he found his dogs hiding under his truck shivering something that trained hunting dogs don't do his dogs specifically they obviously ran back to the truck no sign of being chased back too the hunter swears it wasn't a mountain lion or any other wild animal he knows of as he has had runin with mountain lions and about every kind the Wyoming mountains has to offer he said he has never felt so cold and scared

in his life from those sounds he heard that night has yet to hunt on that mountain since the 16 years ago I had always been an avid hiker and that weekend I convinced a few friends to join me for a thrilling adventure deep into the woods we had heard about a remote trail that promis stunning scenery and a sense of isolation far from the typical crowds it sounded perfect for a day of bonding and exploration the weather was pleasant as we set off on our hiking trip the trail was beautiful winding its way through a

dense forest the leaves rustled underfoot as we made our way deeper into the woods we chatted laughed and marveled at the Tranquility that enveloped us it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives as the day went on WE ventured further into the woods following a path that seemed less travel the trees grew taller and denser casting Long Shadows that danced around us it was at this point that we began to feel a sense of unease though we couldn't quite pinpoint the source of our discomfort the trail led us to

a small clearing and that's when I saw them a bunch of hanging dolls suspended from the trees they were old weathered and Eerie each one had a disheveled appearance with their lifeless eyes staring vacantly into the distance the dolls hung from strings that swayed gently in the breeze creating an unsettling Symphony of creaking my heart raced and a chill ran down my spine as I took in The Surreal sight I turned to my friends who had also noticed the Dolls and their faces mirrored my own mixture of shock and fear none of us spoke as

we were all struck by the Eerie atmosphere that surrounded us the dolls were in the middle of nowhere hanging there without any apparent reason there was no one else around and The Silence of the forest was almost deafening my friends and I exchanged nervous glances and it became clear that we needed to get out of there and fast without a word we turned and ran back the way we came adrenaline surging through our veins the dolls seemed to watch us as we fled their Twisted Smiles haunting my thoughts we didn't stop until we were back

on the main trail far from the unsettling clearing [Music] my name is Emily and I've always had a deep love for the Wilderness becoming a park ranger was a dream come true I had envisioned my days filled with fresh air breathtaking Vistas and the gentle rustle of leaves but nothing could have prepared me for what awaited at Hollow Pines national park it started innocently enough the park superintendent assigned me to the hollow Pines Ranger Station as I drove deeper into the forest The Towering Pines seemed to close and around me the isolation was palpable and

the deafening silence only intensified my unease it was like the forest held its breath waiting the ranger station itself was a relic of the past a wooden structure with peeling paint and a sagging roof inside the air was Heavy with the weight of Years Gone by and the walls seemed to Echo with Secrets the previous Rangers had left abruptly leaving behind half finished cups of coffee personal effects scattered about and journals filled with cryptic entries I tried to dismiss the sense of for boing that settled over me as I settled into my new home each

night I would sit by the creaking fireplace pouring over the old journals the stories they contained were haunting Tales of Shadows that moved on their own Eerie whisper ERS in the wind and a feeling of being constantly watched my fellow Rangers had written of inexplicable fear that had gwed at their sanity one particularly chilling entry described a night when the forest came alive trees bent and twisted in unnatural ways their branches forming grotesque shapes the wind carried strange voices that seemed to speak directly into the Rangers Minds it was as though the forest itself had

a malevolent Consciousness as the days turned into weeks I couldn't shake the feeling of being observed the isolation was overwhelming one evening as I sat reading an old Journal I Heard a Voice soft and delicate it whispered my name Emily my heart raced as I searched the empty room finding nothing a Miss I told myself it was my imagination playing tricks on me but the Whispers continued they followed me wherever I went faint and barely audible but un deniably there Emily The Voice seemed to come from the very walls of the ranger station as if

the building itself held a dark secret the nights grew longer and my sleep was plagued by nightmares I would dream of Twisted trees with gnarl branches reaching out to grasp me their Roots pulling me down into the Earth in my dreams I could hear the voices of the previous Rangers their faces Twisted in agony warning me to leave before it was too late one stormy night the forest Unleashed its Fury Thunder rumbled overhead and lightning tore through the sky the wind howled like a wounded beast and Rain pounded on the roof of the ranger station

it was then that I heard it a chilling cry that Rose above the storm a cry that was not of this world I grabbed a flashlight and ventured outside my heart pounding in my chest through the rain and darkness I saw them shadowy figures moving among the trees their forms flickering in and out of existence The Whispers grew louder an unintelligible cacophony of voices that seemed to come from all directions in a panic I stumbled back into the ranger station and locked the door the voices followed me seeping through the walls invading my mind I

felt myself losing control my thoughts slipping away it was as though the forest itself had claimed me I don't know how long I remained trapped in that nightmare but when I awoke the storm had passed and the forest was silent once more I packed my belongings and left the hollow Pines Ranger Station leaving behind the Haunted Memories that still haunt my dreams to this day I can hear the Whispers faint but persistent they follow me wherever I go a reminder of the malevolent force that lurks within the hollow Pines National Park a force that will

never let go of its hold on those who dare to enter its domain I'm typing this just as I got home and I'm getting more creeped out the more I think about this so me and two friends were in the woods at a sort of Park just outside of town There's a cool scrapyard with a bunch of Old Quarry equipment that we were checking out and by the time we're about to leave it's gone from dust to dark we used the flash lights on our phone to navigate out of the scrapyard until we get to

the trail getting ready for a test 10 minutes walk out we decide to cut the lights and see if our eyes will adjust this scrapyards in an open part of the woods and we were just going back into the tree line on the trail when I heard a stick crack and leaves rustling right to our left about 5T in front of us right off the trail not knowing what this was I stopped walking for a sec to make sure I wasn't just hearing things I couldn't really see anything but as I was pulling out my

phone to turn on the flashlight this weird deep but loud growl came from right in front of us right away we all just sprinted away and back towards the scrapyard we decided to go through the scrapyard and onto the trail on the other side that led right out to the road but a 15 men walk away from the parking lot where my car was when we got back to my car there was a police car parked in front of me blocking my car off we saw the cop at the entrance to the trails with a

flashlight on and waited for her to come to us she asked us if we had seen a person in the woods and described him as 5'7 wearing all black with long blonde hair we asked her if he was missing and she said no he's not a missing person but they're looking for him we told her we hadn't and she took our names and we left upon leaving we saw a total of 11 cop cars spread out some together along this road beside the woods I originally thought that we encountered a black bear however my friend

who was with us hunts a lot and said it definitely wasn't a bear and in fact he had never heard an animal make a growl like that before and I have to admit neither have I the growl sounded weirdly human almost too perfectly scary plus if it was a bear by running away we would have been mauled am really confused and honestly creeped out we've looked at several videos of different animals growling but there's not too many where I live was it the guy the police police were looking for was he insane or something if

it was this guy who growled at us why we are going back to the spot tomorrow this time with some bare mace and knives Etc just in case to see if we can find any be paw prints anywhere around update one according to our local Facebook groups it was just a guy who was lost and police located him about half an hour after we left we did tell the police about where we heard the bear make maybe it was something else maybe the guy was actually crazy going back there in half an hour he'll keep

updating update 2 we went back to the spot this morning and spent about an hour looking around for any clues as to what was growling at us we couldn't see any prints or anything indicating something else was there at this point we're all still confused and I think it's going to stay that way angler here one night while at my favorite fishing spot my friend and I heard a noise now this sounded like some rustling about 10 ft or 3 m away in some bushes now my friend called it off as just a rabbit but

I insisted on listening now that was no rabbit but instead steps well in the region I'm from we have quite a lot of coyotes so we pass it off as a mangy curious Beast catching a glimpse of our fire so to progress the night and feel easy we began to make noise and toss sticks and rocks to the bush after a lengthy sit by the fire and a few more Pops we headed home leaving a few belongings behind well when we returned the next day to retrieve our left belongings we noticed two sets of tracks

one large one small these my friends belong to cats oh yes one Mighty big cat and her cub the feeling I had in my stomach was not due to the beverages from the night before but the feeling of cheating death I drove to Peak Skill in Upstate New York with my wife to check on the property we had bought for our summer home as we arrived at the entrance to a dirt Trail leading to our land I pulled the car off the highway and we both started walking towards the back of the property the area

was wooded and stretched about 300 yd before dropping off in a steep bank and continuing up the slope of the mountain or hill we wandered around taking mental notes for our future house as the sun began to set and darkness set in we decided to make our way back to the highway which was about a mile away it was then that my wife called my attention to a light shining through the trees in a particularly good mood and feeling calm and absent-minded I didn't hesitate and started walking towards the light we walked for about 200

ft until we reached a large Rock suddenly we noticed a shiny brassy like object on the ground or slightly above it accompanied by a figure standing next to it we were both certain that the figure was that of a woman for a brief moment my mind seemed to go blank or numb as I didn't feel afraid while trying to observe the figure I wanted to take a peak inside the object as its port or door was open however the interior appeared hazy or Misty through the port I could only make out a few glass-like rods

with bluish spheres on their ends there were also some black pipes visible the top of the object had a brassy color with a dimpled or hammered texture while the bottom Had A peculiar gleam similar to stainless steel dull and shiny at the same time pipes extended from the bottom of the top and went down to the edge of the object the female entity standing nearby wore a black rubber like hood that reached halfway down her back and it seemed inflated as I could observe it pulsating or changing in size the woman's fingers appeared unusually flexible

as I thought I saw them bending in a wrong way although I couldn't be certain if it was due to the strange lighting she held a tube in one hand which connected to the port and a black box with an attached wire in the other her face was covered by a plastic-like mask and she wore goggles the woman's ey eyes seemed luminous shining through the dark goggles it was at that moment that the realization struck me that this was not something to casually observe and I began trembling like a leaf my wife held on to

my hands so tightly it hurt seemingly Frozen in place I tugged at her but she remained stiff as a board and wouldn't budge until I forcefully shook her I half dragged her into the car started the engine and sped away from there after driving for about 3 miles I stopped to check on my wife she was pale as a sheet her mouth moving but unable to form words I restarted the car but found that I couldn't drive due to my feet and legs shaking uncontrollably later examination of the location revealed signs that a heavy oval

object had been there at some point or perhaps the area had been trampled over I was in the six grade when I have my first real encounter with the supernatural creature of Appalachia I alive on a small off-road in the middle of the woods only about 13 give or take houses are on my road so it's quiet at night when I was a child in Appalachia I was taught things to avoid any Supernatural confrontation but it was bound to happen one day some rules that I learned were never be out alone after dark if you

see it no you didn't if you hear it no you didn't things along the lines of that it was January and I had gone over to my friend's house who was about three houses away from mine so not far but it was Winter and the sun goes down early and I had lost track of time and it was six and pitch dark outside when we realized how dark it was already she offered for me to just sleep over since she knew there was a possibility of me running into a supernatural creature but I insisted I

just walked home she then offered to walk me home so I wouldn't be alone again I said no so I went outside Into The Frigid icy air and walked home I had my phone flashlight on so I could see a creature from far away in an emergency I walked home as normal looking at the beautiful icicles and snow piles everywhere and thought I'll be fine I was wrong my driveway to get down to my front door is steep and it goes down fast and at the end is the woods it's Woods for at least 5

miles back I walked down slowly since there was ice everywhere and then I heard rustling in the bushes at the bottom of the driveway in the woods I pointing my flash down and I saw a wolf but it didn't look normal living in the Northeast I see many wolves but this one look demented wolves won't strike at you or run up to you unless you provoke them so I thought it would all be okay I was about halfway down my driveway and every step I took the wolf looked more and more demented it had glowing

eyes and it was very big to just be a wolf at that time it started moving towards me fast another rule I learned as a kid was to never run from one of those creatures but I did run my front door was locked but I had a key in my hand it took me what felt like forever to unlock the key as it jiggled in the keyhole my anxiety was so bad and even though it was 20° out I was sweating like crazy finally the door unlocked and I I ran in there is a window

right next to my front door and I looked out the door and there it was a skin walker shape shifted as a wolf its eyes were Beady and cold it was hungry I looked away scared of what would happen next after about a minute it was gone never to be seen again every night for about 2 months after that I was spooked to even close my eyes to sleep it got so bad I had to start taking melatonin I'm mostly fine now but here in there I still feel like this wolf was watching me it

still Spooks me to this day that was my first ever encounter with a supernatural creature but many were to follow after that one I had many stories to share about these creatures but that's for another time when I was a teenager in early 2000s South London there was a rumor in my high school that there was a naked man who looked like Father Christmas in the woods we relished that story but all secretly understood it to be an urban legend after school me and my friends would go to the park 5 minutes away from the

school to play on the tire swing and make Daisy chains talk about boys Etc the park was on a seam of ancient Woods it was more or less a rectangular shape with a large rectangular grassy Green in the middle surrounded by Woodland on three sides the grassy green had a CH children's playground on the right hand side budding up to the Woodland on one side the children's playground was large with an assortment of equipment for both young and older children and was gated off from the rest of the park by 2 m High metal railings

one Summer's evening after school we were hanging out in the children's park by the tire swing as we usually did when I noticed an unusual movement in the trees that bordered the other side of the metal railing all I could see was was a mixture of green and brown tones amidst the Shadows of the in the Woodland so I approached the metal railings of the Children's Park to get a better view the Woodland had a kind of opening in it at the center of which stood a large old oak tree dappled light filtered through the

canopy to the foot of the oak tree forming a natural stage before the audience of children's playground as my eyes began to focus I realized that right in the middle of the stage was a young man about 30 years old stood staring at us a group of three teenage girls in their school uniforms our eyes transfixed for a moment before I looked down and screamed my eyes locked on him in Terror but he did not avert his gaze he stood there watching us while completely naked touching himself vigorously my friends ran over to my side

and followed my eyeline horrified they grabbed me pulled me out of my shock and out of the park and we ran home it was just before the time when mobile phones were ubiquitous so we did not call the police and that was the end of the matter but 20 years later I always wonder if that man went on to do anything worse there was another incident that happened a little while later but I don't know if it was connected I spent 3 months in Northwestern Utah in 1999 doing graduate field work I was alone for

almost all of it I read Lord of the Rings played guitar laid in the dirt staring up at the stars very fun anyhow one night as I was sleeping I heard a strange noise C edit below around 3:00 a.m. that jolted me awake instantly I was in a tent and about 30 ft away from me I heard a grunt that lasted about 4 seconds maybe it was a throat clearing it was an animal noise most alarmingly though it had a definitely aggressive tone to it it sounded like a challenge there were no bears in the

area but mountain lions were possible although quite rare I didn't hear any of the insane mating calls for the 3 months I sat bolt upright and grabbed my flashlight I had no weapons with me other than a small knife and that was somewhere with the cook deer I waited quiet as a mouse for about 30 seconds listening for any noise it was dead quiet I could have heard anything but not a single sound as quietly as I could but it sounded like when you're opening a bag of chips when you're trying not to make a

sound I positioned myself at the tent zipper then suddenly yanked it open and shined the flashlight nothing then I bolted for the truck about 50 yard away I made it and looked around with the flashlight nothing it was out there watching me unless it ran away when I ran to the truck I had the window cracked the and watched and listened for about an hour nothing I laid down in the back and tried to sleep but it was quite chilly and I was wearing only a pair of underwear and my huge scratchy wool sweater that

was luckily in the back seat the next morning I looked for tracks but saw nothing and for the next six or so weeks I slept in the back of the truck my younger brother was in his room carrying out a conversation which was weird because we were alone at home I went to see who he was talking to there was no one there so I asked him who he was talking to he said the little girl with the black eyes I asked where she was and he said that she had left I thought he' just

lying about a week later we started hearing voices and footsteps I would be sleeping with my blankets covering me and I would wake up with them folded at the bottom of my bed my sister got scared scared one night and crawled into bed with me as she was getting into my bed I woke up so I turned on my TV I also turned on my light to find the remote I left the light on along with the TV right when we were both drifting off to sleep my door slammed shut which is almost impossible as

I always have a basket full of books in front of the door so that it doesn't close the light then shut off and my TV picture went off with static noise I got up and went to the door I tried to open it but it was like someone was holding the door handle from the outside my sister and I started to scream when my mom came and opened the door as she did the light turned back on and the TV picture came back we had a priest bless the house but the activity continues the house

was built in 203 and no one has died there we need help once while I was trekking with my family up a mountain in India there was no Trail or anything we were just climbing once we reached the top we saw this little hidden almost stage-like area with a tree a pool and steps not that creepy right except the entire tree was covered in old clothes the pool was two and also with toys and Footwear not new clothes but quite visibly worn ones it looked like it had all happened in a hurry but there were

close to 200 250 clothing items there it was so scary we hight tailed it out of there when we returned to the hotel we asked the staff about it the manager said that the locals believed the fort on the other side of the hill to be haunted and that there are various witchcraft Cults in the area he said never to go in the Hills at night this was the creepiest experience ever a few years ago I found myself sitting on the edge of a corn field shotgun in hand early deer season I wasn't there long

before a group of does walked right up to me since I was just there for meat and not picky I picked one out set my sights on her shoulder and pulled the trigger it was a solid hit and she fell as fast as she ran only made it a dozen yards or so before collapsing in a Twisted Heap now the other four or five does that were with her ran in the same direction and stopped where she fell they all just stood there standing around her looking down at her for a minute and trying to

make sense of it then the danger they were in dawned on them and they all took off I got up and walked over to the deer and sat down and stroked her fur I had this kind of overwhelming feeling that I had shattered some sort of primordial ancient balance I wasn't part of it all I wasn't some Predator stalking prey to survive I was some guy who had come out to the woods to impose his will and for no other reason that I just preferred the taste of meat I wasn't starving I felt like a

bully I had taken a gun and violently punched a hole in an animal clearly capable of thought and senss just because I felt like it I sobbed as I got the deer and dragged her back to the truck I took her home and she fed my family for a while we made candles and soap from the fat and I donated the hive but after that I was done I realized then that even just going to the grocery store to buy a pound of burger was basically just the same or even worse since those animals never

had a chance to live freely so I decided that in good conscience I could no longer eat meat if I wasn't starving I can easily sustain my life without it and so I think I should do that suir base 1989 there was an old ghost story about some security police Air Force and PS or some Republic of Korea Air Force NPS that were on duty near the end of Runway when they freaked out because b7s were landing at the base now at the time we'd all heard the ghost stories of the b7s at Raf Lake

and Heath was it I don't remember all I remember was the story well at the time in order to complete a loop around the Perimeter Road you had to cross the active Runway and there were r fsps that guarded it so that no traffic would cross without clearance from the tower my friend and I would walk this road at night sometimes just for something to do get a little exercise whatever one night on one of such walks we got this fog rolling in unlike any other fog I've ever seen like visibility was about 5 ft

usually it was somewhere around 50 ft but they would make us walk the truck's home lower ranking Airman walking the white line with a flashlight usually a lacklin laser in front of the truck so the driver knew not to run off the road drive into the other lane or run over said Airman but I digress the fog was bad and dead silence ensued we had walked around to the entry control point where the Rocka guys were stationed and we shined our flashlights and presented our flight line clearance badges line badges to us but we didn't

expect them to let us pass because we would be walking on the active runway for a few hundred yards and besides they never let us before but we always tried anyway right in the middle of our plea to cross we all heard planes prop jobs big ones not turbo props like the sound of a c123 or C130 but very distinct radial engines and lots of them being that Air Force bases host a lot of air shows you tend to be able to pick out certain engine types and these were definitely not turboprops I've only heard

these engines on the old girls flying at air shows nothing should have been airborne and fog that thick even the mosquitoes were grounded that night the two Koreans PS just looked at us looked at each other and then kned the F out left their Shack got into their truck and drove off leaving us standing there we never saw anything but we heard several large aircraft fly over the base in an approach pattern but nothing ever touched down since we had not been told we couldn't cross we went ahead and crossed the road and the active

Runway shortening our walk to about a half mile back to the barracks my friend and I never spoke about it these events have never kept me from going back into the woods the CUA peninsula in Michigan myself and a friend have a decently remote camping spot not far from Lake Superior we've been going up there for 12 years usually twice a year once in the spring and once in the fall on two such trips both in the fall our campsite has been stalked by Wolves they come within 30 yards of Camp always at night you

never hear them howl you can just hear them walking through the brush we've caught glimpses of them using those High Lumin battery powered LED DS they do not run when yelled at which is scary as [ __ ] it's kind of freaky sitting by a small campfire and have wolves come check you out we never shoot at them but two shots from a 44 mag and they never come back we've also had Bears wander into Camp while we are sleeping loud clumsy FS not nearly as Eerie or frightening yelling at them does the trick and

they take off in college I spent one month house sitting a large hunting estate in the middle of nowhere Idaho the nearest town was 22 Mi away woke up on the middle of the night to the sound of someone knocking loud and hard on the front door and the dogs were going nuts no way I was going to answer it I just grabbed the gun and kept quiet upstairs next morning there was a car on the driveway the guy who owned the car was found dead several months later I have no idea what happened edit

I feel kind of bad I should have put some more info in there it was late last night here is everything I know it was June 1987 I know it was 87 because it was the baseball season after the Bill Buckner disaster my girlfriend's parents owned the place it was in southeast Idaho I'm not going to say what town it was 22 mi from because they might still own it and and I don't want this to get more weirder than it already is it was a pretty big place with a lot of acreage the guy

who was the full-time caretaker for the place had just quit my girlfriend's dad went out there to find a new caretaker but the new caretaker couldn't start for 1 month her dad offered to pay me th 10200 to go out there free food satellite TV one of those huge dishes from back then and free booze all I had to do was keep an eyee on the place place and feed the dogs and the horse I had never been out west so I took him up it it sounded better than doing landscaping I spent the time

reading and exploring playing with the dogs riding the horse shooting completely uneventful experience until that night that night after the knocking stopped and dogs stopped parking I eventually went back to sleep I didn't freak out all that much because there were two German Shepherds inside with me and I had a gun I kept it on the nightstand I had been drinking a little but not drunk by any means there were several neighbors that were a few miles away I was kind of thinking someone just simply drove up the wrong driveway next morning at crack of

dawn I opened the front door to let the dogs out and see a white Chevy Nova sitting in the driveway it was near the small cabin for the caretaker the cabin was about 100 yard from the main house I called my girlfriend's dad and asked him if he knew anyone with that that make or model car and told him about what had happened the night before he didn't know anyone and he called the police directly police show up ask me a few questions and walk around the property for about an hour or so the car

was locked the police had it towed I have no idea if it was broke down or not there was only one set of tire tracks coming into the house a few days later my girlfriend's dad called me up to say the guy who owned that car was missing and to call the police if anything weird happened again I have no idea who the guy was at all don't know how long he was missing or when he was reported missing or who reported him missing he was just missing girlfriend's dad didn't know that much after 1

month I go back home girlfriend and I break up shortly thereafter I see her out on the town several months later and I asked her if she ever found out what happened to that guy all she knows is the guy was found dead by S 30 m away the S happened several months after that incident at the house and he was found a couple of days after he had killed himself I asked her how he did it where he was he found who found him Etc and I got nothing I never saw her again you

all now know just as much as I know I feel your pain in Yellowstone a few weeks back I listened to your podcast covering human and animal killings super creepy especially if men are really being found killed like cattle so of course I tell my hiking buddies all about the episode as the sun sets and really freaks them out the night is nice stars are out the next day I came across a dead rodent right in the middle of the trail that looked to have all the signs of animal killings eyes are removed there's a

hole at the back of his head that appears to be black or burned ickets also have a black burned look to them I obviously didn't check if his spine and organs were there but there was no blood and no insects on the body who knows if that was just like the work of bugs and Sun but I thought the timing was so stange I have a video of this animal I'll upload later if I have time but it is really strange because over thousands of miles I've seen plenty of dead animals in various states of

decay but this rodent looked perfectly preserved except it was missing eyes and there was just that hole at the back of his head maybe half an inch wide that appeared blackened and cauterized or burnt I've never seen this before and there's the timing of it all places totally have Vibes to them some places that we walk through are straight up hair raising and I can never figure out why yet I've confirmed it with other hikers Bill usually ask hey did you feel weird back there and they always go yeah I did it just didn't feel

right one place in Utah comes to mind it was a short day hike I did with my girlfriend in Canyonlands NP forget the name but the trail took you up the side of old crater I think they theorize it was a meteor strike ages ago but don't really know anyway we got to a spot sat down and we immediately overcome with this incredible lethargy to the point where we both wanted to fall asleep on that rock I'm a pretty discipline hiker so I stood up and said we can't dally here oddly I also had this

gut feeling that we shouldn't fall asleep there and also weirdly my girlfriend said off hand in a joking manner to some other day hikers coming up the trail be careful up there there's a Vortex that will suck you in and put you to sleep she meant vortex in the hiker context of a town that'll suck you in and keep you doing unplanned zeros but still odd choice of language right and I'm reminded of cases of UFO and fairy abductions that start with people inexplicably falling asleep in the woods in the middle of the day speaking

of weird places the a crosses through an area known as the Bennington triangle going south you'll cross over glastenbury mountain and then enter the town of Bennington apparently there were four or five Missing 411 style disappearances there in the 1940s Google it really interesting stories and the natives avoided the are area because they believed Devils lived on the mountain when I walked through the day before I had written a blog post about how the trail was teaching me to follow my gut and how following my gut always seemed to save me from storms and other

things like that and just generally turn out good well this day I was planning to go through a small town called Manchester Center then climb onto glastenbury Mountain and camp on the mountain in Manchester Center I eat a burrito and have the worst stomach cramps I I've ever had tried using the bathroom to wait it out nothing so book a room in a motel literally the second I've paid and get to the room my stomach pain goes away this was cramped so bad that I was walking hunched over that just disappeared in the matter of

seconds but I'd already paid so I stayed no diarrhea or anything that day everything 100% normal after I changed my plans climbed the mountain and went into Bennington the next day only after I realized that I would have been on the mountain on the night of the full moon is that relevant no idea but it just struck me as very very odd how I wrote about following my gut and then my gut literally forced me to not climb that mountain oh on the way down is where the Long Trail and the had intersect and that

intersection is where a young woman disappeared in the' 40s Without a Trace weird now that I'm thinking of weird places with bad vibes I'm reminded of of this small 5em loop I do at home in Missouri when I walk this I usually always stopped about 3 miles in and turned around no real reason that's just what I always did went in there maybe four years ago with an ex-girlfriend and we ate about 15g of shrooms each the first hours of the trip were great hanging out about a mile into the loop then we decided to

hike more and entered the section that I unintentionally avoided it was so strange the only way I can describe it is that it felt like evil descended on us I'm getting Goosebumps as I write this I felt this deep pit of despair and depression come out of nowhere and I just knew that that year was when I was going to die I knew that our relationship was over we both got real quiet and didn't talk for about half an hour then came to this ledge and I kept getting these horrible images of her running full

speed charging off this like 80 ft ledge then all of a sudden the oppressive energy lifted and we both just burst out like did you feel that what the hell so she also felt that incredibly negative energy and felt that we were done our reactions were very interesting we both felt like we should focus more on spirituality and develop a stronger spiritual base I kept having the thought that the greatest lie is that there is no good and evil in this world if you believe this then you're truly vulnerable to True evil so after this

experience we got into hypnosis a little she could fall into trance very easily one session I took her back to that day and she absolutely freaked she said that we were attacked by a demon who attacked those who were undecided now am not religious at all and still I'm not and I think this is her Catholic upbringing coloring her experience but I do think there was something very evil there that day in the woods also it's fascinating that I just avoided that place intuitively right even with these experiences and all the content I listen to

regarding the Paranormal and Missing 411 I don't feel at all threatened or in danger in the wild I'd say 99% of my time out there I feel as comfortable as if I were sitting on my couch at home we were built to be in nature and the woods and the wild really are not a threatening Place spend enough time out there and you truly will feel right at home night hike alone is freaky at first but like anything else you get used to it it's very peaceful to just walk through the woods bathed in the

little glow from your headlamp it feels a lot like a voyage into another dimension funny enough I ended up getting off Trail right when I hit New Mexico got Garda and ended up puking and [ __ ] my guts out dropped from 178 to 162 lb in under 2 weeks it did make me wonder though if my gut wasn't protecting me again because New Mexico and the reservation lands are famous for their Skin Walkers and I did feel like I was kind of stirring up their attention by writing and talking about them throughout my trip

but none of these is even close to the greatest danger out there I came the closest to death I ever have on trail right before I left this was San Juans in Colorado we were pushing through late in the season and we got three straight days of freezing rain it was horrible one night everyone else got ahead of me and I was pushing up a pass at 125 K ft followed by a 1 M Ridge walk at 12 K ft pushed over the pass right as the sun set and freezing rain started up again combined

with winds that were blowing 4050 mph I'm so incredibly cold at this point but there's nothing that can be done about it but to keep moving you can't layer up beyond your rain gear because anything else will just become soaked and useless that then my glasses start freezing in the rain and I'm getting a horrible refraction glare from my headlamp that combined with the clouds and freezing rain enveloping The Mountaintop brings my visibility down to about a foot then I lose the trail so now I'm just literally on the Side of the Mountain hiking on

the side of some pretty steep grades steep enough that if I were to lose my footing I'd slide or fall dozens if not hundreds of feet and possibly off a cliff because those are certainly abundant in the San Juan at this point I can feel panic and vile at the back of my throat but I know if I panic I'm dead so I just focus and keep moving in the direction where I think the trail is eventually I see the light from headlamps up ahead and it was my hiking buddies who were all huddled under

a tarp we never did make it to our intended campsite and instead had a sleepless night huddled under the big tarp all trying to stay warm I've never been so cold in my life when we finally got to town I realized feeling wasn't coming back into the tips of my fingers and it took about a week before that numbness went away out of all the dangers in the wild nature tops it all thanks for listening horror Cowboys see you tomorrow at the same time
