30 Scary Deep Wilderness Horror Stories

[Music] [Applause] [Music] at the time I was a 26 year old female I'm still female obviously but now I'm 32 I loved travelling around Australia camping in my van usually by myself in 99% of the time these were all amazing experiences on this trip I was heading from Mount Kosciuszko in southern New South Wales towards the Blue Mountains but I wanted to break up the drive for a night by camping in a state park and maybe take a shot or two as some rabbits with my longbow I found when I thought to be a perfect isolated stark park where hunting was allowed and since it was midweek and the weather wasn't amazing I figured I'd have the mountains mostly to myself I'd not taking into account the quality of the back roads to access the camping site they were very badly maintained rock and dirt tracks that my tiny Toyota van struggled with it took me over an hour to travel the 30 kilometers to the campsite swearing to myself as often as I could I was feeling grim and tense when I finally pulled up into the site but I relaxed pretty quickly as the site was empty of people and I could see rabbits hopping around about 200 metres away in the meadow as soon as I pulled up beside a designated fire pit I strung my bow and headed after them federal guys had obviously already been hunted a few times before though because I couldn't get close enough enough for a confident shot at them I left the rabbits to go about their rabbit lives and headed back to the van where I started a fire poured a glass of whiskey and lit a cigarette enjoying being out here in the solitude and knowing if the closest population of people was over an hour drive away now I love being myself in the bush but I've got this weird intuition thing that lets me know when I've landed in a safe place or not a couple of times in the past I've driven into a potential site and after a while I get this pressure in my chest and stomach and when that happens I bail no questions asked after sitting around my fire for a while I did feel this pressure slightly but after another whiskey I decided to ignore it it was too late in the evening to tackle that road and I was over the legal driving limit after that second whiskey truth be told I was probably over the limit after my first glass so I sat there drinking smoking and watching the Sun go down the Sun disappeared quickly and I was in the bowl of a small Valley with looming mountains all around me and after watching the first star appear I decided to call it a night I dropped two pairs of shoes outside my van door one was a small pair of sandals and the other was my massive hiking boots I always do this when I'm camping alone because I hope any creepers might think that there's a man in the van and leave me alone I fell asleep quickly but was woken up at 12 a.m. by a gunshot it sounded like it was on the other side of the mountain and I largely ignored it figuring that hunters were after deer or a wild pig I fell back asleep again pretty quickly and did not sleep as deeply as before I was awoken again by a much louder gunshot from about an hour later this shot had definitely been fired somewhere inside my little bowl in the bush and it was large caliber rifle for sure the echo was huge in this confined valley I begun to feel nervous what if they were taking shots into my van happened to be in the way and if they missed their target I pitched through my curtains and saw my fire still had a few glowing embers I hope if the hunters might see it and know not to shoot in my direction that was my biggest concern at the time I had no idea [ __ ] was about to go to a hell of a lot more intense for the next hour or so I drifted in and out of sleep snapping awake and aware I had the smallest of noise on one of these bouts of drifting out of consciousness I heard a sound that had me sitting straight up in my bed I hit my head on the roof of the van pretty hard but did not even notice as I was concerning and concentrating on the noise that woke me tires tires rolling and grinding on the rocky dirt track leading to my campsite now I'm sure there could be a few reasonable explanations for a car taking this isolated dead Road in the middle of the night I even tried to think of some but I fail because I was too on edge and just sat there in my bed straining my ears to the utmost to try to figure out what this car was doing suddenly my van was filled with a shockingly bright light as the mystery car turns into the campsite and face toward my van I waited for the headlights to give way but they didn't I couldn't see the car my van has curtains at every window and like [ __ ] I was parting them to give whoever was out there a good look into the van and at me I was already feeling pretty spooked but my terror rose sky-high as I realized the car was now slowly driving towards me the lights got brighter the rumble of the diesel engine got louder and the sounded like the biggest tires in the freaking world popped and graded on the rocks underneath them by this time I'm frozen into place too terrified to move a muscle as this four-wheel drive beast of a car slowly kept driving towards me until it was nose to nose with my tiny van the headlights were so blinding even through my curtains that I had to turn back to face the other way then I almost peed my pants whoever the [ __ ] was driving this car started revving his engine over and over harder and harder and longer each time it was the most aggressive sound that I have ever heard coming from a machine and I honestly can't tell you how freaking scared I was I didn't know it was possible to feel more terror than I always already feeling but I found out quickly it is always possible to reach higher levels of fear when I heard the sound of two car doors opening I was too scared to move but I broke through a fear of paralysis long enough to grab my six-inch hunting knife from the Shelf above my head I gripped it with a white knuckles as I listened to a pair of heavy footsteps start walking slowly toward my van the other person must have been standing just outside their car watching and waiting as I didn't hear a second pair of footsteps maybe they were more stealthy and quiet or the [ __ ] knows all I know is that my straining ears worse focused solely on the slow purposeful steps of the first stranger as they stopped besides the sliding door of my van rad dumped my two pairs of shoes my van was locked at every entry point but a hundred what-if scenarios were running through my head at Lightspeed maybe I could dive into the driver's seat of the van and belt out of there fat chance with them being parked right in front of me even if I did manage to drive around them I still have thirty kilometers of rush bush to navigate Bush tracks that are far superior I'd be run down by their big truck in a matter of meters I could string my bow and jump out confront them but then I'd never been so keen on suicide so I thought I'd give that one a Miss I didn't even have a map of the area so running like a scared rabbit into the bush wasn't even an option oh the irony so what I did do was wait frozen in my sitting position still white-knuckle in my knife while person one finally moved away from the side door of my van and back to their car the engine was revved again and again as if trying to scare me out I still sat there i sat still for what felt like hours but was most likely only minutes as I vaguely heard voices under the rumble of the engine I couldn't make out a word but the voices sounded male and eventually it has gotten to the car and slowly rolled away I know how anticlimactic that sounds but honestly I don't really care at the time I was so filled with relief so great that I was almost high off of it and at the time so exhausted from the adrenaline dump I felt like I could sleep for weeks with no worries I didn't sleep though thoughts would jump just hiding around the corner on the road waiting for me to take a break for it - running through my head as irrational as that sounds I think was the most confusing and scary thing about it I just have absolutely no idea what their intentions were they could have been just hunters but maybe they saw my fire and thought they'd come down and freak me out I'm not sure they could have had a much darker things in their mind though could have been locals wanting to play a prank to relieve their small-town boredom if anyone wants to shed some light on it go for it after 20 minutes of silence I finally managed to pry my fingers off the handle with a knife one by one using my left hand to do it I put my knife beside me on the bed and sat staring glassy-eyed at the curtain on my rear window with my knees pulled to my chest until faint light filtered through the material turning my interior from black to smoky gray I peeked out the pre-dawn day and saw no car no other people just more rabbits who I now could not find the heart to hunt I opened the sliding door and struggled outside feeling like it was a dream I made a couple of the strongest coffee in the world and sipped on it while staring stretch idli at the footprints surrounding the van then I got to the driver's seat and drove an hour back to the main road I kept expecting to see the car around each hidden Ben but really I would have no idea if I saw it or not I never saw anything of the vehicle or men who terrorized me so that was that I drove on to the Blue Mountains and met up with some Belgian friends and ended up sticking with them for the rest of the six-week trip but I never forgot the feeling of being so scared and so helpless is so alone really if ever do I choose to camp in an empty campsite now I'll move to another one with more people it was in 1971 I was in my late twenties I was then staying in Rose Hill more itis not married yet and staying at my folks one day my dad came home with a South African couple he met them while coming back and they were tourists visiting my riotous with their back bags tents and sleeping bags Meritus was still safe in that period but independence was given by Great Britain in 1968 in a civil war had just come meant a few months before two communities have fought for some political reasons anyway my dad invited them home to sleep over for a few days I remember the guy had a big blond beard he was very kind his wife was as well but I forgot her face we decided to organize camping during a week on the west coast of Meritus in a place called flick and flack this place which is now pretty developed was at the time very wild with just a few houses we went on a Saturday morning found a nice place to put a tent and organize the day the south african man and his wife were very good swimmers and divers we spent a lot of time in the sea catching fish crabs some lobsters which were getting scarce then we don't find them anymore by the coast and cooked all these goodies on a small homemade barbecue set all of us mom dad the couple and I really enjoyed the day the sunset was beautiful it was warm and we were in summer and everything was perfect when night came we were preparing a nice BBQ with chicken beef and pork and a few shrimps we had caught earlier this night was starry my dad was happy and drunk and the couple were obviously having a great time since we were not fluent English I was improving then communication was a little bit difficult but we could make ourselves understand with gestures and sometimes drawings on the sand it was a great fun seeing my dad trying to converse with them a very limited knowledge of English anyway it must have been around 9:00 p.m. we were all seated on the bench waiting by the ocean as the starry sky was beautiful and we were sitting by the campfire then we started to hear what sounded like a complaint we cannot determine the sound of it but it was like a woman wailing it was faint but clear since the place we were at was wild and remote the wailing was not consistent but it could be heard from time to time we put it on the some sorts of animals since we were not people living on the coast and being ignorant to the animals which might have been active at night we were seated on the beach facing the ocean when suddenly we noticed someone coming out from the sea on our left at about 30 to 40 meters away it looked like a woman with a long white dress just walking from the sea to the beach we can now see her face but could guess that she had long hair the only lights were the stars in our bonfire she silently made her way straight and disappeared from our view into the vegetation we found this very odd I knew it was not normal but did not know what others were thinking my dad was drunk and watched the scene with a little smile on his face I think he was lost in his thoughts we all looked at each other and we had no idea what to think I tried to check if there was a house where the woman walked to I stood up and walked towards the sea and look to my left to see where she went there were only green bush and trees there were no lights or any constructions around I was now scared because I realized that we must have seen a ghost I walked back to the bonfire sat down and told everyone they did not find any house there we stopped talking and everyone kept alert we could now hear all the little noises of the night we heard franked crackling like someone or something was quietly walking on dry leaves then suddenly we heard about flapping noises on a tree nearby it looked like large birds pigeons or bats flying away it scared us then my mom told me quietly she felt something was not right I and her were feeling like we were being watched the couple was looking around with their glass in their hands then suddenly something heavy fell in front of us on the beach about 5 to 6 meters away I stood up to see what it was but could not find anything everybody stood up and looked around and there was nothing found despite the fact that the night was clear in sweat the atmosphere had changed apart from my father who was in a trip because he was too drunk we were all scared by then the couple talked between them and I could not understand they seem to be quite concerned about the situation I did not know what to do I couldn't say anything because I didn't understand English enough we were enjoying such a nice time before seeing that woman it sucks that maybe we couldn't stay there or maybe we would just go to sleep it was a pity in the middle of the night we heard this bone-chilling scream like a woman being attacked it seemed close to our camp we were on our feet with our eyes about to pop out of our sockets my heart was pounding so loud that I thought others could hear it the couple started to pick up their stuff and my dad followed them mom and I packed everything very quickly as we were doing so some coconuts fell off and rolled down on a camp as if someone had thrown them away we were now scared to death and no one would talk we heard running on the beach then in the woods but could not see anything we quickly put the stuff in the car and it was not easy because we did not have a big car we had taken our time to pack things so they could fit them in perfectly when we came down now we had to pile up things the worst was the BBQ it was hot and dirty and we did not want to leave it I burned myself Christ's trying to put it away while we were packing away everything things were happening around us The Scream seems to originate from different places and there was a lot of noises going on we all got to the car practically practically just squeezed in like a bunch of clowns I decided to take the wheel because my dad was too drunk as we moved away we got a shock we saw a woman dressed in white standing by the little lane looking at us it was bone-chilling I stopped the car she was standing about 4 to 5 meters away I didn't know what to do I was too scared to move closer to her but it was the only way out we waited for a few minutes as she was standing there staring at us I heard my mom praying and the South American people mumbling something between them suddenly we heard a bang like something hit the car behind we all turn to see what happened the atmosphere was very tense and I think my dad was becoming sober very quickly he was now swearing we did not see anything behind but I looked forward the woman was not there anymore but the scariest thing happened she was now standing by my door looking at me I can't describe the utter fear which took ahold of me then I released a scream my throat was sore for several days after and pushed the gas pedal I think everybody screamed then but with panic the car choked and the woman was still there looking at us I remember not seeing her eyes or features because it was dark I switched on the car again and drove as fast as I could the poor car got shaken on the dirt road they reached their main road relieved and shouting what the hell have we just seen fortunately Rose Hill is not far from flickin flak when we reached the town the car broke down I found Beth of the car had broken and the engine stopped from overheating fortunately Rosa was not far from flicking flack when we reached the town the car broke down and the fan belt broke and the engine has stopped from overheating we were in the 70s and there was no sew or towing services available that Saturday evening the couple my mom walked home which was not far the south african couple stayed two more days at home and left we never saw or heard from them afterwards this encounter takes place when I was 13 June at the time myself and three my friends aged 13 to 14 who I'll call Sam Cam and Ned take a Ford a camping trip on the Wisconsin River and southern is Wisconsin for those of you who aren't familiar the Wisconsin River is relatively long relatively wide it has long shallow stretches as deep as a couple of inches to a couple of feet you have to walk a canoe to some of it there's more sandbars that run down the middle of the rivers Wow the adult on our trip was cams grandma even well into her 60s she had wilderness skills on par with Bear Grylls she has incredible stories from viciously biting home invaders to protect her daughter to hiking through remote mountains at midnight and sleeping surrounded by wild horses she's a major peace love and happiness type from the 60s she's way into conspiracy theories hands nowadays way into Bernie Sanders she believes wholeheartedly Bill Clinton took cocaine by the brick while in office and non-organic foods are a corporation mind control she has reasonable arguments for both still one of the most fascinating people I've ever met anyway we set up camp on a beach about 3:00 p.m. on our first day there's a lone still fisherman slightly upriver from us this is strange given were mostly in the middle of nowhere but there are occupied properties here and there on the river so it's not crazy immediately after we arrived grandma realizes she forgot her coffee cup in the car what the hell grandma she decides to go make the kayak trip by herself back upriver to where we parked just to grab the cup and come back she left alone boys to go off in the shallows landscape wise there's our Beach with dense forest behind it and is straight about 90 meters across between the beach and a sandbar we're screwing around in the shallows for maybe thirty minutes when I remember being on my stomach in the water and looking up as Sam staring all glazed to the distance we all look the fishermen from earlier is on the sandbar about 50 feet from us none of us remember seeing him getting so close especially since she has no bow in what I've weighed through the water I remember there being a strange glare from the Sun so we couldn't make him out perfectly but he was thick mane and droopy long brimmed hat on we cannot see his face but collectively had the feeling that he was looking at us it was obvious he knew our adult laughed and decided to close in the timing was perfect whatever we just say that and head back to the tent we're behind the tent for maybe a half-hour playing cards and gathering firewood we take turns peeking around the tent to check on the status of the fisherman he's moved in off the sandbar through the shallows and practically on the shore of our Beach yes the river is an open area but it's unspoken that you would wander into somebody's campsite especially when kids are alone there we're weirded out and Sam being a badess 13 year old breaks the eyes by waving his arms and yelling at the man hey hey what's up no response but the man turns his body towards us staring completely still like wildlife caught in the headlights or Bigfoot and one of those blurry photos after a few seconds he does a 180 and just starts walking away from us straight back into the water like he intends to keep walking until the water comes up to his face cam says something along the lines of what the hell Sam and we moved to hang on the other end of the beach it's been three and a half hours since grandma left we have no idea when she's supposed to be back we're on the complete opposite side of the beach from our camp and due to the forest we couldn't even see it but as we round the bend again we see the man standing on the shore practically on our campsite he's walking around our bags like he's patrolling the perimeter of the camp not his camp our camp little more than a silhouette and he has something not a fishing pole I was never brave enough to get close to check it out in detail but all three of my friends will tell you he had a rifle over his shoulder from where he got it we don't know he should have been able to see us from where he was but he didn't close in anymore we decided to play it cool and hide behind the trees luckily grandma arrives on her kayak shortly after we call her over to us and tell her everything but I swear to you by the time we pointed over to her shoulder to show to the fisherman he was gone like like a vision we saw him one more time that night having a fire the moonlight on the water illuminated his shape all the way back across the river from where he saw him the first time fishing in the darkness we said [ __ ] that guy and went back to making torches I remember digging my phone out of the waterproof box and trying to send this blurry creepy picture of the fisherman to my friend as proof due to connection she never got the image but one text message went through to her to read and it was something like he's back he's like a weeping angel or something coming closer only when you look he goes away out of nowhere this would have been about seven years ago when I was 16 I was bear hunting with my dad and my brother in the Alegent a National Forest near teo neste pennsylvania the area we were hunting was one that I had camped in with my family since the time that I could walk because of the experience that I had in the woods up there I was allowed to hunt by myself I remember it was getting later in the day just about time to turn back and hike back to camp there were maybe four inches of snow covering the ground and judging by the sky more would fall soon the light had just started to fade and the heavy foliage as I was slowly hiking along the ridgeline stopping every few minutes to look and listen as I was making my way towards camp I heard a small child's voice off in the distance dad the voice sounded like it belonged to a little boy and I froze trying to pinpoint his location dad the voice cried again this time more frantically finally dad help then help help my immediate thought was that the boy had been split from his father and was realizing how dark it was starting to get out in the Big Woods but he sounded so young I couldn't imagine how he could have been left alone the way his voice was whimpering through the silence and stillness of the snowy covered trees still gives me chills when I think about it it stopped me dead in my tracks in my heart automatically started pounding I took my rifle off my shoulder and held it in my hand so that it would flail about as I started racing over the snowy terrain towards the voice I stopped in the clearing to listen again as his little voice crowded again dad helped I bail it out I'm coming for you keep yelling his message didn't change as if to alert me that he had heard me it was still just dad hell I knew that he was on the lower side of the main road that splits the forest and most likely near little waterway known as lamentation Creek my brother was hunting down there and I knew he must have been hearing the cries for help as well I dropped off the snowy hillside almost sliding down into I got into the road I listen to the boy still crying out as I caught my breath on the roadway I decided the steep ravine and started racing towards the creek I thought I must be getting close so I called out to let him know that I'm coming for him a few moments go by no response I start walking briskly instead of running so I can hear him if he cries out again then everything my body said stop the hair of my arms started to rise under my wolf shirt and I froze in place the darkness was creeping steadily into the enclosed hollow my senses became fine-tuned I could hear every snowflake falling into place to the already snow-covered limps above my eyes instinctively scanned the expanse searching for movement color and light hello my voice cracked as I yelled out into the darkening silence no answer again I yell off the direction of the small voice but again I received no reply not from him or any other of the few dozen hunters I had seen earlier that day I've always carried through the heaviness of the silence and yet no one replied I knew damn well my brother had to have heard me but nothing that voice inside said stop now said leave but I couldn't bring myself to just turn and run I stood there for another 15 or 20 minutes calling out to the voice in two-minute intervals never hearing a response I walked through those woods slowly and as alert as I've ever been in my life constantly checking my six and scanning for signs of life that were never there and I got back to the camp I asked my dad and brother if they had heard the small voice in neither of them dead that I asked if they had heard my voice and again they hadn't I've always carried an echo through those woods I know it did and yet they hadn't heard anything we talked to some guys who were camping close to the creek if they had a small child with them or knew of someone missing a child and no one had it all I don't think there ever was a kid now you my husband and I were on a hunting trip deep in the North Woods dad pulled the 14 foot trailer out to camp and left us there with the intention that we would be up super early and secure sitting spots on public land the camp was about ten miles from the nearest person and 35 miles away from real civilization with street lamps and stuff super scenic had been snowing and the pine trees are really tall and and was quiet outside we were just laughing and talking when suddenly something big jumped into the roof this is northern Michigan in November there shouldn't be anything big in the woods right now a bear would be sick or not able to hibernate for some reason and probably will kill you we stopped mid-sentence and looked up right then it sounded like whatever was had run along the roof on the trailer and jumped off into the surrounding snow I needed new pants my husband starts looking for ammunition for any of the guns that we have with us and we were both asking each other what the actual [ __ ] is that there shouldn't be anything that big in the [ __ ] woods this time of year we didn't hear anything else after that moment we decided that we absolutely had to see what was going on we heard no footsteps but also no rustling or anything else on a clear night with snow on the ground you'll hear anything close by that's moving my husband went first opening the door and peering out no prints in front of the trailer we slowly walked around the trailer being in a small clearing with only a couple of trees we could see about 25 feet around the trailer and after looking around and finding nothing we just went back inside logic said that it was either long gone or something else was going on it took a while to calm down but eventually we both fell asleep loaded guns on the table a few feet away the next morning we got up and went outside to look around again still no tracks other than ours and some rabbits we were outside looking away from the trailer we heard this thing again running right across the trailer towards us we spun around and faced our attacker and saw some snow falling off the pine tree branches in a line across the aluminum roof the tree branches didn't even start so 40 feet in the air so of course we couldn't have seen them at night since it was just now nothing looked off when we went to investigate the night before we genuinely thought there was a Yeti Bigfoot or severely pissed off nocturnal mutant deer with a taste for blood and it turned out to be some freakin snow falling out of a tree and hitting the roof a year or so back I did a three month long outdoor expedition in Arizona we saw plenty of strange things ranging from the Marfa lights while on our way by car to our canoeing section an old Mexican man trying to sell 15 people our entire group hatchets for chocolate or the calls of elk near our camp but nothing beats this one strange thing only I saw we were nearing the end of our three-month expedition it was probably the last two weeks and we started our ISE individual solo expeditions we started the trip in the gallery' o mountain range as a whole group but split into four groups of four my group was the most experienced hikers so we gave ourselves a 25 to 30 mile loop through three days as the rest did easier 15 to 20 mile sections the first day was alright with nothing too challenging the second day things got weird for our group we heard footsteps near us but no one was around about seven miles of the day we saw an old abandoned cabin that we used as a marker since it was on our map we were going to start heading east once we reached it but we decided to take a break near it so we placed our bags on the ground and it started to tuck a snack about ten minutes into the break I needed to pee so I wandered about 30 feet closer to the cabin and started my business I could look inside the cabin while I was standing there so I peeked inside and I swear to God I saw a wispy looking man inside the cabin staring there looking at me he was wearing an old tattered dirty cotton shirt and brown pants with a long white beard as I saw the man a chill was sent through my body I freaked out what I saw him and quickly finished up and rushed to the others and told them what I saw none of them believed me so they joked a bit but I was quite distraught by this I told them either go look for yourselves or let's get the [ __ ] out of here and they realized I wasn't kidding at that point mind you I'm not a huge muscular guy to this point in the expedition we have gotten to know each other quite well and they knew I wasn't really easily freaked out I was usually the one to grab a snake and get it out of the camp or other crawling creatures but they saw how freaked out I was and hightailed it out of there the rest of the day was fine until the night came around and we all heard the footsteps again so we all become on edge and pulled out our camp knives and kept them close eventually we fell asleep and nothing else bothered us for the rest of the time but that freaked me the [ __ ] out and I still have nightmares about this man to this day me and three of my friends decided to grab our guns and knives to go camping out in the woods not far from the city we lived in we were on 19 and 20 years old and I always been told that Black Panther sightings have happened in the area which was more than enough motivation for us for guys to grab some beer and guns and head out into the woods we walked for miles in the dark just talking and telling stories trying to rustle up some wildlife then we hear it like an old woman crying or screeching it was far off but it didn't matter it was terrifying we had heard stories of what they sound like and we knew it when we heard it we also heard some coyotes yelping and obviously finding something to kill because whatever it was wasn't some serious pain we knocked out of there and we were gonna head back when the wild-card of the group says we should still sleep out there and basically called us everything but [ __ ] if we didn't so we did however by this time we were over halfway back to the car but still deep enough in the woods to be totally helpless if something happened we have like a six person tent that we threw up and we all hop inside after we hung out by the fire for a bit after we hang inside and talk we end up falling asleep sometime around maybe two or three I wake up I hear a noise in all of us step outside little do I know two of the other guys in the tent have been awoken by the sad noise as well all of us stunned not knowing what's happened we are all silent and completely still asked to not wake each other in case that nothing's outside but the noise and rustling gets louder and closer the fire has long been out so there's no light to see now there's something brushing up against the tent and clawing at the opening to the tent it wasn't zipped but maybe 3/4 of the way up why I don't know then the zipper starts to loosely coming down and we see a silhouette of a man the three of us scream and then the figure leaps Superman style into the tent on top of us swinging and kicking we all completely lose it and start beating the [ __ ] out of this person before we realized it's our fourth friend who was just getting out - Pete was having trouble getting back in the tent as he drank a few beers campfire was out and he didn't take his flashlight he jumped into the tent because we screamed so he naturally thought he saw someone or something behind him so he freaked out and tried to get in the safety of the tent long story short we laughed hysterically for at least an hour after that we didn't know which was more funny the fact that we were total pansies and got scared to death over our friend taking a piss or that all three of us were awake at the same time silently losing our [ __ ] without knowing I grew up on a mountain in the Pacific Northwest so I spent quite a bit of time exploring local forests and memorizing the trails and as I got older I wanted to show my friend some of the trails I wandered around as a kid these places were pretty cool because people long ago had built stuff deep into the woods and forgotten about it so I knew quite a few rope swings tree forts in ruins of old buildings I attempted to find a specific trail over for a year it turns out the original entry had long been grown over so it took a while to find another way to access it once I figured out where it was connected we hiked on the mountain and explored it this is where it gets weird as I'm rounding the corner I noticed way deep into the woods maybe about 200 feet is a small log cabin it's definitely nowhere near this trail and seemed out of place I snapped a few pictures of it we kept hiking and I couldn't stop thinking about the cabin it looked pretty old but I had never seen it as a kid and I took those trails as almost every single day during the summer I went home and immediately shared the pictures with my more adventurous group of friends I finally convinced them to return to the trail and help me find a way to get to the cabin a few weeks later we hiked down the old trail a group of four people the cabin had no main trail across so we ended up trudging through bushes dirt leaves and across logs the mountain is really uneven with lots of goalies in dried-up stream beds that make it difficult to walk finally we make it to the cabin and instantly I'm set on edge as we approach the first thing I see is ripped up white stuff later found out it was pieces of a mattress that was covered in blood and dirt we were walking slowly now all of us wanted to peek and tied the small log cabin but unsure of what we'd find I convinced our guy friends to go first the cabin was very simple with no door and so small you had to duck to enter inside were empty cans and food Tanner's laid across the wooden floor along with ripped-up clothing there was a very small bed on the side that had been used quite a bit and was caked in dirt I peeked inside for about a minute then I did a 180 and jump back out as I quite a bit was freaked out even people who squat and live in the woods know you bury your waist there was literally a pound of fresh human feces this was a very unsettling I called everyone to leave and we follow a flatter path back to the trail the entire day we see pieces of ripped up mattress more feces and random pieces of what I assume was clothing when I returned home I decided to look up the cabin online I figured it might be a historical landmark that squatters had taken over the weirdest thing is there was no history and absolutely nothing no information or pictures of it online it was like it didn't exist I've been wanting to go back and explore around it but now I'm too afraid I'd run into whoever was hanging out living or destroying stuff out there I did a fair share of wild camping when I lived in the UK me and my buddy would sleep tent lists with baby bags over the sleeping bag to protect us from the elements while this was amazing in general it would hold mixed results one hot summer night in Epping Forest I could feel spiders bugs and various creepy crawlies all over my face and barely got any sleep tubing back the next day we had faces like UFC fighters from all the bites in Buckinghamshire in a forest near the home of Roald Dahl we set up camp about 200 metres off the track while cooking a chili in the dusk I saw a light far off coming from the track it was probably someone walking their dog or just looking at their phone as they passed through but I'm ashamed to say it spook me to no end and I could barely sleep but most fitting to this threat is when hiking and camping in the Forest of Dean West England Wales border the forest from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows mind you we were aware of the presence of wild boar different I believe from the ones in the US possibly a lot less dangerous but big old Bertha's nonetheless we came across them when hiking in their size was alarming we were hiking a path between thick fern and saw a baby boy way ahead coming closer tensely a massive adult boar across the path that great speed where the baby was and both freaked out and started running laughing at our foolishness after my buddy dropped his iPhone and smashed the screen we continued our hike with a new respect for the force inhabitants and later set up camp deep in the woods we were sleeping on a hill [ __ ] under deep wooded cover and in the middle of the night I was awoken by my friend who informed me there sounded like a boar Draghi is how I could hear commotion and snorting of the animals from all sides my vision cleared and we could see them even in the near total darkness it was actually just a large group of them passing the bottom of the hill a hawk head we believed we were surrounded at a fear naivety we stood up on a log standing in our sleeping bags as if this would do anything and one of the Borg came sniffling close along the ground satisfied that it was just stupid humans or else something they couldn't eat he bounded off and rejoined the collective there were between 10 to 15 of them and a load of piglets following we settled down once again laughed at her behavior and went back to sleep unarmed at the time it was extremely exhilarating but in retrospect a fond memory and learning experience the next day driving out of the forest we could see them in the sides thick woods and once again admired the size of the beasts I was out camping and a part of Connecticut now I was about 12 and was with a group of other kids ranging from 12 to 17 think like Boy Scouts we were in a 3-phase cabin arrangement so any animals could have gotten into our cabin if they were brave enough it is standard procedure to keep your food bagged up and tied high in branches or in some sort of container so that bears won't get it or smell it my cabin brought out a lot of candy as kids do to stay up really late and play games and stuff but we were saving that for one of the later days so he locked up all of her airheads M&Ms etc in this kids large black suitcase real sturdy I woke up one night to the sound of a bear coming into her cabin I was the top bunk so fortunately I wasn't as close as I could have been the bear came in sniffing around - twelve year old me it seemed huge maybe it was just fear hyperbole but I thought it could have been a grizzly probably a black bear though it finally got to the suitcase I remember the sort of grunts and snorts it made as it started to tear it apart it just started scratching and occasionally biting it I just watched as partly because I was terrified and the other part is I was fascinated maybe if I wasn't so grounded in what was happening I would have pissed my pants the bear got to our candy and made off with it no worries I went back to sleep with sweat panic drenched sheets the scariest thing the day after were the gouges the bear made in the wood floor they were deep rivets that rain could have easily sat in it was the closest I've been and hoped to be to an animal that size sometimes I think videos on YouTube trick us into thinking the camera can be treated like a person and so therefore we view animals like that less of primal than they actually are you this happened to myself and a close friend were both 23 year old males this happened just last month we decided to go on a two night backpacking camping trip in the Adirondack Mountains in New York we are both very comfortable with nature and spent a lot of time camping hunting fishing and etc we hiked about five miles into a small lake and set up camp on a small beach this was not a heavily trafficked area we did not expect to run into anyone our first night there was just us sitting around the fire we saw a flashlight moving on the other side of the lake and around 10:30 this was fairly unusual however we did not think too much of it but as time went on this flashlight kept moving around the lake getting closer to our campsite we kept discussing who could possibly be wandering around the woods in the middle of the night we did not particularly want an unwelcomed gas once it was clear that the person or people were heading to our campsite we moved off into the wood nearby to see who wandered up I took a small ax with me and he had a 22 rifle now we weren't expecting trouble and we certainly didn't want any but we figured we might as well cover our bases now the moment of truth the flashlight comes near the light of our fire and it is one man he is a beard and is probably in his mid-40s the scary part was he was carrying what turned out to be a pump-action shotgun he walked around the campsite a few times and then proceeded to enter our tent after running around for a minute or so he came out and started yelling I know you're out here why don't you come say hello my friend and I remained motionless under a hemlock tree about 50 yards away that is when the man proceeded to fire a shotgun into the woods not too far from where we were he also swung his flashlight around several times after what felt like hours he grabbed my friends backpack and a few articles of clothing we had drying off near the fire and threw them in the burn my friend who had trained the 22 at the man asked me if he would suit I told absolutely not unless he spots us and starts to point the gun in our direction thankfully the man moved off from where he had come out a little while we waited until his flashlight was on the other side of the lake ran out grabbed everything we could fit in the backpack and took off it was now around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. we ran out the trail with flashlights and made it back to my car as the Sun was coming up we immediately went to the police department reported it well we also spoke with some forest rangers that was it I haven't heard anything back from the police it wasn't mysterious however it creeped the hell out of both of us in 2007 I was working on a trail crew in the Trinity Alps of Northern California we had 13 people on the crew and a few support staff at this point we've been in the woods for about two and a half months we had all seen and heard bears mountain lions and pretty much anything that you can think of that would make terrifying noises after dinner one evening most of us were sitting around the fire doing whatever and all of a sudden there's a huge loud agonizing scream sound it was unlike anything any of us have ever heard if I had to describe it I'd call it a mountain lion shriek combined with the horror of a banshee everyone was understandably freaked the hell out it sounded reasonably close so a few of us myself included decided to investigate about three miles from our base camp there was a creature tied to a tree absolutely losing its mind it was a [ __ ] llama at this point it's 10 p.m. or so and 25 plus miles from the nearest trailhead we find this llama tied to a tree just off the trail we tried to comment down without my success and went back to camp the next morning the llama was gone it looked like I had broken his restraints and run off we kept hearing the hormone llama noises from time to time over the few weeks towards the end of the season a group of hunters passed us on the trail after chatting for a bit we found out they tied the llama there because it decided to be stubborn and refused to walk anymore apparently it laid down the trail and would not move so they left it and decided to come back for it we figured at that point the llama was probably dead we hadn't heard any hellacious llama screens for a few months and didn't really think about it however at the end of the season when we finally got back to the crew van and we were driving out that damn llama jumped across the road about 30 yards in front of us I still think about the demon llama from time to time and I hope he had a fulfilling life in the Trinities you in college I spent one month house-sitting a large hunting estate in the middle of nowhere Idaho the nearest town was 22 miles away it was June 1987 I know is 87 because it was the baseball season after the Bill Buckner disaster my girlfriend's parents owned the place it was in southeastern Idaho I'm not going to say what town it was 22 miles from because they might still own it and I don't want this to get any more weirder than it already has it was a pretty big place with a lot of acreage the guy who was full-time characters over the place had just quits my girlfriend's dad went out there to find a new caretaker but the new caretaker couldn't start for one month her dad offered me to pay $1200 to go out there free food satellite TV and free booze all I had to do was keep an eye on the place and feed the dogs in the horse I had never ever been out west so I took him up on it it sounded better than doing landscape I spent the time reading and exploring playing with dogs riding the horses and shooting completely uneventful experience until that night that night after the knocking stopped and the dog stopped barking I eventually went back to sleep I didn't freak out at 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 way I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone knocking loud and hard on the front door and the dogs were going nuts there was no way I was gonna answer it I just grabbed a gun and kept quiet upstairs the next morning at the 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 100 yards from the main house I called my girlfriend's dad and asked him if he knew anyone that had that make her motto of a car and told him about what happened the night before he didn't know anyone and he called the police directly the police show up and asked me a few questions and walk around the property for about an hour or so the car was locked and 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 dad called me up and told me that the guy who owned the car was missing and to call the police if anything weird happened again I have no idea who the guy was at all I don't know how long he was missing anymore or when he was reported missing or who reported him missing he was just missing a girl friend's dad didn't know that much after one month I go back home and my girlfriend 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 suicide 30 miles away the suicide happened several months after that incident and he was found a couple days after he had killed himself I asked her how he did it and where he was found who found him etc etc and I got nothing I never saw her again you all know just as much as I know and I feel your pain in college I spent one month house-sitting a large hunting estate in the middle of nowhere Idaho the nearest town was 22 miles away it was June 1987 I know it was 87 because

who found him etc etc and I got nothing I never saw her again you all know just as much as I know and I feel your pain this happened to my grandfather and I in El Salvador when I was eight years old on a Saturday night we were coming back from visiting relatives who lived up in the mountain from us about an hour and a half hour to our hike during the day it's a beautiful hiking place but at night it is quite scary we ended up leaving my uncle's place later than we thought at about 8 p.m. but we were not worried since we had done this hike hundreds of times at all times of the day but never after 10:00 p.m. according to locals it's not safe to be out there after 10:00 p.m. because of weird things that they have seen and heard thankfully we were prepared for nightfall we had our own flashlights grandpa had a huge flashlight that was bright as a headlight on our car and our backpack had bottles of waters and snacks well halfway into our way back home it was pretty scary there was no moonlight so it was really dark and only trees all around in a few homes here and there we heard noises and other weird things but since we were in the middle of mountains we dismiss it and kept on walking about a mile away from home things got very weird and spooky we couldn't even hear a cricket sound everything just went silent at this point my grandfather grabbed my hand and told me to stay close I remember getting scared and worried I looked at my watch and it was 9:15 p.m. I told my grandpa he said not to worry we were almost home I kept pointing my flashlight in front of me so I wouldn't step on something or trip then about 20 feet from us was this huge tree and to had a bonus which I thought was strange and so did my grandfather he replied with well that's interesting a bow on a tree then to our surprise a woman wearing a grey or light blue dress I don't really remember was standing on the other side of the tree with her back to us I told my grandpa why would she be out here at this time by herself he said maybe she's lost or hurt so we we hurried to see if she needed help we were about 10 feet away from her when she started walking so grandpa yell hey excuse me miss are you okay are you lost with no answer do you need help again no answer she just kept walking after you passed the tree with the bow about five to ten feet you go down the hill into an open space with a few trees and there are some pretty flowers there with a walking trail next to it standing on the bottom of the hill in front of the trail grandpa charged and said come on honey we got a hurry I don't think she's okay and when we turned back she disappeared we could not find her anywhere we looked everywhere and had no luck there was no way she could have run that fast and the trail was pretty long with little trees scattered around so nowhere to hide even if you wanted to since grandpa had a big flashlight we all had a pretty good view of the landscape all around us and we saw nothing we kept walking and still looking hoping to find her but we had no luck once we reached the town I looked at my watch and it was 10:15 p.m. I told grandpa how happy I was that we had made it safe and just in time to get out of the mountains yet still worried about what happened to that lady the next day grandpa told an eider of our incident with a strange woman and he interrupted my grandfather and said are you talking about the big tree right before you go down the hill grandpa said yes why our neighbor called his wife Susan over and began to tell us about a murder that happened in that area on Thursday of that week a lady was walking home around 8 p.m. or so when she came across a man who tried to rob her and since she fought back he stabbed her four times and she bled to death she was found in the bottom of the hill the next morning the killer was caught the next day drunk with the bloody shirt in hands with a knife in his pocket people thought he was hurt but when they heard the murderer they turned in him and he did confessed my grandfather turned white I didn't know what to say but we felt so bad for her the neighbor's wife Susan said that we were not the only ones that have seen her a few locals have seen her walk from the tree to the bottom of the hill where her spirit was always back and forth the bow on the tree was put there on her behalf camping in Wyoming two hours from pretty much anywhere with my dad my friend and my dog this dog was the comest I'll be a quite stupid and nicest dog I've ever had I've never heard her growl or bark at anything no matter how much it presented a threat to us or her she just assumed everything was friend or food it's late at night my dad's asleep my friend and I are just hanging around the campfire out of nowhere the dog boats up bark once and starts growling in the direction of the field next to our site of course we're freaking out trying to figure out what the hell is going on and what she's on about when we realized there's a group of shadows on the other side of the field we just sit there staring at whatever it was when we hear a conversation no clue what language it was in this goes on for about ten minutes of us staring wide-eyed at the shadows I didn't think to wake my dad for whatever reason when the shadows just went away and my dog starts growling it lays down and falls back asleep that was the only time that she ever did anything like that in over a decade that we had her it still freaks me out to this day this past winter I hiked on one of the high peaks of the ATK's with a buddy of mine and camped out overnight everything was fine the entire first day when we were there I had great night's sleep and woke up early to hike back to the parking area on my way back to the trail my friend and I noticed that someone else had been hiking as well about a mile after walking I stopped and saw that my full name first and last was drawn into the snow on the side of the footpath I didn't do it and neither did my friend it was snowing a bit throughout the night and if it was drawn the day before there's no would have covered it up we got a bit freaked out soon decided to hustle back to our car so we could get out of there we finally get back to the parking area and I go to sign myself out of the registry book when I turn the patient where I signed in I see that someone scribbled out all my information to where you couldn't read it anymore no one else assigned to the book besides myself for three days I will not be going back there last year I was with a buddy of mine and we were going to do the Hart Creek scramble in Alberta but due to some health conditions he has it was going to be strenuous to complete we figured we make it easy and just do the simple trail now we're both climbers and have been to Hart Creek for rock climbing in the past and had a great time so it wasn't a surprise to see the sporadic climbers on the mountain side as we went Hart Creek is also pretty popular and easy for people who just want to go for a nice nature walk and maybe have picnics anyway we walked in enjoying the day watching climbers on our way by we saw a couple even doing some multi-pitch climbing which means basically leapfrogging up the route we settled him for lunch about a half hour later and left a couple of hours after that on our way back I remember seeing a climbing shoe in the creek and thinking Oh some of us have lost this I picked it up when my buddy got my attention and I looked further downstream both climbers a young man 29 or so I learned later and his partner were both lying in the creek bed rope and harness is still attached dead it was very surreal we had just seen these people climbing not two hours before making their calls and having a good time the first reaction I had was that I remember that there was a family right behind us a husband a wife and a young daughter who were playing in the creek on the way down we ran back and stopped them and explained as quietly as we could what was ahead of him before we knew it looky-loos had come by it turned out that the husband was an off-duty our NCP officer so he took control the situation I learned later we weren't the first ones on the scene that the authorities had been called out it was a very quiet ride back in the town more details so the couple were climbing and they were both experienced enough but one was still learning they attempted to do a dual lowering maneuver using each other's weight and feeding the Rope through the bear lays one of them made a mistake and lost their end of the rope and that was it for both of them there wasn't a lot of blood strangely and they looked very peaceful I didn't get a good look at the girl I mostly only saw the guy there the story ran for a couple of days in the area talking about the male as the family of the girl didn't want to disclose anything that was not something I thought I'd see that day for sure I was once canoeing the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Canada these aren't your normal backyard ponds the Boundary Waters are thousands of enormous lakes interconnected with each other think many great lakes we have been canoeing and camping along the lakes for about a week at this point we didn't really have an itinerary just plan to boat in camp fish and live off the land for two weeks we had a GPS and an SAT phone to call a helicopter for pickup whenever we were done anyway about a week in we were set to canoe a few hours to the next Lake an hour so in we are in the center of an extremely long and narrow Lake unfortunately a storm started to blow in and the waves on the lake of the center started to swell to two plus feet too much for our dinky canoes we pulled off to a random clearing on the shore and set up camp in a rush to avoid being totally thrashed by a rainstorm we just set up camp and hunker down for the night by the next morning it had cleared up we started walking up the coast of the lake about 200 feet from our camp looking for a good fishing spots what we actually found was another camp site however it was absolutely wrecked trash was thrown everywhere tents collapsed and torn clothes on the ground at first you were just like disgusted like what [ __ ] would do this who would leave their [ __ ] out for bear food the more we looked around though the weirder things seemed for one their garbage was still hoisted into a tree to keep us safe from bears but the whole bag was ripped open despite being 30 feet in the air second literally everything except the canoes were still at the campsite closed packs food rope pans like a serious set of hiking equipment enough for two to three people half of it was trashed and torn open mostly the packs tent enclose their long johns ditching hundreds of dollars of gear in the process it's like somebody just knocked the hell out of there we waited a couple hours and eventually called it back to our helicopter crew but they hadn't been aware of anybody else getting any distress calls we eventually just laughed and moved camp everybody was pretty upset by it and a day or two later we ended up the whole trip early because it just seemed like nobody wanted to be out there anymore it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen first thought was a bear attack but there was food left uneaten and I've her bears are way too easy to scare away I've seen bear attacks on cans before and it was nothing like this bears rip open packs and go after food and they're generally pretty easy to scare what still sticks with me is why all their clothes and packs were still there with half being totally destroyed and half being untouched I still get it I've done a lot of our camping hiking rafting and biking all around the country and I've never had any other weird experiences like that I was camping and hiking in the oaf enoki swamp me and my girlfriend were far from being the only ones there but when we woke up in the morning we took out a canoe out into the swamp to explore it was early there was a thick layer of fog resting just atop the water the whole swamp was completely still no animals in sight at all we paddled down the waterway for a while and saw nothing else not a single person not a bird not anything we didn't hear a single sound we had just cornered a bend in the swamp and we hear it the loudest guttural bellow I have ever heard in my life I could feel it echo through my chest a true dinosaur sound we stopped paddling and looked around for a while and we looked at each other creeped out we knew it was an alligator but we had never heard one that loud we both looked behind the canoe behind us in the backs and eyes of at least 20 alligators had risen they just surfaced out of nowhere we slowly started to paddle forward and we hear more bellows they come from all around us in fronts behind to the sides and his sounds are emanating from the bush covered banks each glanced behind us we saw more eyes appear more scaled mounds breaking the water surface from the banks huge reptiles broke the water all around us we looked back again as we paddle faster easily forty alligators behind us now we began to see them appear in front of us 10 to 15 huge lizards seemingly blocking our path then one of the largest alligators I've ever seen surfaces right where my paddle was going down I hit the beast on the back of the head and the thrash he made was incredible when this massive head hit the side of the small canoe I thought we were going into the water water came into the canoe and the side dipped down the beach disappeared below the bow in we held steady we paddle forward as we could write into the dotted landscape of scales and eyes behind us the same guttural war echoed through my body as we cut through the field of eyes and backs we started to see the path clear the huge monster that had almost cast us ties bellowed one one time we turned as we made it past the last of the animals and we could see the monster staring at us watching us leave all of the other alligators begin to sink to the water's floor the big guy stayed there watching us until he was satisfied we had gone I guess then he disappeared without a sound back into the black murky depths of the swamp we banked the canoe further up the waterway got out and just sat for a while trying to take in what we had just experienced all right so here it goes this is the story of something I experienced which I cannot explain what I am about to describe happened over a year ago but a close friend of mine has convinced me to finally put it out there for others to ponder maybe someone can help me make sense of it the friend and my wife are the only two people that know about this up until now I would like to make sense of it but it's something I can just talk about to people let's start with a little background before you ask what the heck are you doing in the middle of Death Valley alone anyway I have two professions I'm an army officer and I'm an adventurer I do outdoor stuff often as a way to recharge and refocus because leadership does not come naturally to me as an introvert being in crowds is bad enough organizing training and leading crowds using every last drop of charisma is something else entirely that's why I get away as much as possible I seek out places of beauty and solitude which allow me to rest internally even if it requires physical exertion to get there if you're heavily introverted like I am you know what I'm talking about so in the summer of 2015 I had just returned from Africa where I was on orders I was drained I had to get away I quickly planned a trip through Death Valley I would take my street-legal dirtbike 1,500 miles over several days through the hottest place on earth during the hottest time of the year just because I knew it would be the most peaceful and relaxing place I could access now I did mention that I considered venturing a profession of mine that's because I've spent countless hours adventuring exploring and just escaping I consider myself highly skilled at it and it is also a paid occupation for me because I document most of it through monetized channels which that being said I have seen some unusual disturbing and just plain cool things while I'm out there especially in the desert scavengers that will stalk you from mile hoping you would drop dead and become a meal Ches which appear to be man-made hundreds of miles from anything traps set to immobilize vehicles or people old military equipment you just see a lot of stuff when you're out there generally it all makes sense though on this adventure though in Death Valley however I saw something that just didn't make sense I had been riding all day through Death Valley it was a very hot easily over 120 degrees and there were very few people out there that day in fact I hadn't seen anybody for about half of that day since heading toward you heavy crater but I did see one couple in a Mustang just leaving you heavy crater when I got there that was it it's not surprising though because of how hot it was and because of how are you heavy crater is I headed toward racetrack playa and stopped somewhere between you heavy trader and racetrack playa for the night this is a very far from anything and only accessible by gravel road on one end and unmaintained it's a harsh trail on the other end there was nobody out there for obvious reasons I unpacked my sleeping stuff and had a meal before the Sun went down I took all of my camera batteries out and hooked them up for charge of the night I also turned my phone off and put it on the chargers Wow I left all the stuff by the bike which was just off the road I set up my sleeping bag a distance away from the bike in the trail I wasn't expecting anyone to come by at all but it was just part of my tactical plan in case of a random bad guy stumbling upon my area my bright red bike would obviously draw all the attention and my camouflage sleeping bad would go undetected allowing me some time and freedom to maneuver on the bad guys I got a my sleeping bag bringing only the Camelbak my folding knife and my red light tactical flashlight everything else was at the bike it was very peaceful it was almost silent out there it was warm and felt really safe and was pretty easy to sleep however when you're on your own II never sleep very deeply your mind stays alert and ready that the little things wake you that night there was really nothing to wake me it was nice into about 2 a.m. that's when the events happened I woke up to the sounds of children yes children in the middle of freaking nowhere Here I am being woken up by children talking it was fully enclosed in my sleeping bag so for a moment I just stayed still trying to figure out what the heck I was hearing it kept going the undeniable sound of children talking to each other I couldn't make out what they were saying it sounded like it was 50 meters off or so I caught out hello still a my sleeping bag it stopped just for a moment but continued now I knew for sure the had to be kids there in the middle of nowhere i sat up peeking out of my sleeping bag and turned my flashlight on I scanned the direction of the noises which was the opposite direction of the trail on my bike there they were two kids 50 to 75 meters out or so opposite direction of the trail in the middle of nowhere they were walking kind of wandering looking loss is sounding lost I couldn't tell what they were saying but I had a tone of discussion like they were deliberating to figure out what to do or where to go I caught on again a lot of this time hello they stopped they looked in my direction but they were looking past me in my direction but not at me like they heard me but I wasn't even there I was illuminating them in a very bright flashlight they should have been covered in their faces but they were just scanning like they were looking for me and just didn't see me they turned back catch walking and I just watched them not sure what to do their noises in their images faded into the distance I just sat there I didn't know what to think or what to do it was just so bizarre after a while I lay back down and just relax until it started raining at about 5:30 a.m. that's when I packed up in the darkness and continue with my adventuring into the morning so that's what I saw I saw children in Death Valley over a hundred miles from freaking anything just walking talking and wandering and vanishing oddly enough it didn't freak me at the moment I was more confused than anything that's why I could make a decision on what to do in that moment now looking back it's freaky I started my career working in sawmills back in 2007 I was hired for a portable sawmill in Southwest Washington State this mill was located quite literally in the middle of the forest it was constructed in the early 70s and even in the short 30 years of his life it seemed to have a decent amount of history inside of it I worked the weekend graveyard shift 2:30 to 4:30 the following day on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays I was at rim drop operator I had a partner who I worked with and we were the only two in the area his name is Pete we would take turns rotating through the night one of us would run the drop where he dropped the bat boards chunks of garbage and just about anything else that can't be turned into quality lumber the boards that would be left to be processed would enter a luggage chain system and then be pulled through a scanner and then a trim box that would cut the lumber to length and then take them to the next area which was the sorter the other of us was sit at the operators console about 20 feet away and watch monitors that display the various parts of the machine and process flow we rotate every few thousand boards to keep from being fatigued one night I was running the drop and Pete was kicked back at the console station reading away at the newspaper everything was going just as normal as ever when I glanced over and noticed him peering up at the monitor for the outfeed with a puzzled look on his face he jumped up and went walking down to the trimmer saw a box and looked around it he then walked back looking quite concerned sat down and shrugged and started reading again this happened a second time but by now it had my attention I threw up this kid to stop the flow of lumber and walked over to him and asked him what was up there was a guy standing at the outfeed I went down there to see what the hell was going on when I got over there he was gone he said with a confused look on his face this didn't make sense because this was an area that wasn't accessible unless you stopped the Machine and activate a catwalk that unfolds from the out feet of the saw box to allow access to a small platform on the opposite side of the machine I asked him to point out where this guy was hanging out he pointed to the platform slightly frustrated I shook my head at him and laughed before running back to the drop to continue running lumber Pete stayed fixed on the monitors now newspaper folded up and thrown to the side not a five minutes later go by before he jumps up and runs around the saw fail this is the time that I threw the skids up and followed him by the time I got there there was nothing he pointed to crashed the lumber table which was 30 feet wide to the platform across the machine yells who's over there weren't allowed to be over here goddamn it both of us waited to see the man he had seen on her monitor but once again there was nothing after a minute or so of looking on we decided to move back to our stations I walked to the console station glancing at the monitor seeing nothing and Pete followed shortly behind by the time I meant to the drop is start again Pete howled I snapped around and saw him stabbing the monitor with his finger yelling for me to come back I ran home and looked at the monitor sure enough there was a guy he was standing on a small platform Pete pounded out the monitor was small Granny and black-and-white but we're able to work out that this guy's wearing a tin hardhat a very dirty and worn button-up long-sleeve with the sleeves either rode up or ripped off and everything was dirty with these very thick denim jeans of a dark color he was just standing there with his elbows on the handrail looking at the lumber from the saw box wait here Pete yelled as he stealthily snuck down to the outfeed once again as he closed in on the outfeed area to catch this guy read for being in the area you can't be or shouldn't access while I'm operation I looked back at for that Pete and the monitor about the time Pete made it to the saw box the man on the corner looked up into the camera and literally just faded away I completely lost my [ __ ] I felt the cold chill run down my back accompanied by all the hairs on my arms standing up I sprinted as quickly as I could to Pete exclaiming that ain't a guy it wasn't a [ __ ] guy picha stood there dumbfounded both of us now looking at the platform with our own eyes what should we do I asked quite dumbfounded and disturbed now Pete crossed his arms and thought before deciding we should call our Foreman down to tell him the story we walked back to the operator station and Pete grabbed the mic on the radio and called for the foreman we ran up until he arrived both of us ready to bolt for the saw box in case we saw the entity again the foreman showed up after about five minutes and we stopped running and explained when it happened the foreman didn't look impressed but he was smiling he explained that we had just seen one of our old-timers back in the late 70s we had a man who worked here who ran the chip bin station and one day arrogance got the best of him long story short he got buried in a chip pile and was crushed and suffocated before he could dig himself out the foreman said who was one of the only people to ever work here and we're at in hardhat as homage to his previous career as a logger and the woods other operators have had occurrences where they've witnessed this entity wandering around different machines seeming just to watch the flow of lumber this story happened about two years ago and I still occasionally think about it I live in the middle of Scotland the winters are wet cold and immensely dark one night I was walking up to the shops at about 10:00 p.m. the path followed an area of interlocking her rundown terraces encroaching forests whose branches reached out across the path in several fields with it being winter the grass came up to your thigh this journey in total usually takes about 30 minutes at least on the right side of the latter area of the path is a series of mansions about five or six of them all along this stretch most of the occupants would have been away for the winter but one mansion was well lit this mansion was just like the others apasa State Building which was well-kept as they usually are apart from the specifically placed Ivy it was a completely normal mansion all the lights in the house were turned on and in the windows I saw the shadows of dozens of people prancing around dancing having fun and drinking strange thing was though I couldn't hear anything no voices laughter or music nothing at all you know honesty is look like a fun party that I somehow felt I was allowed to go in with no problem but I don't party with strangers and I carried on to the shops and got what I needed I left the shops it had started snowing the clouds covered so much of the sky that not even the light of the moon shone through the snow was barreling down so much that I could barely see but I kept going back and down the path towards home I decided to have another look at the park of the mansion just out of curiosity to my surprise all I saw was nothing the previously lively and decadent and gorgeous mansion was now at a kang relic its sides crumbling its windows smashed its roof caved in the trimmed garden was now an overgrown jungle between me and walking back to my house I completely changed I quickly walked home after seeing that a year after that me and a friend went to have a look at the house in the middle of a summer day we didn't break into the house and all the doors were covered with metal locks during one day the house was kind of beautiful like a little overgrown isolated paradise with many kinds of beautiful and colorful flowers dotting around the area all that we found was a shed which inside was an abandoned workshop and a business card dated in 1996 I don't know what to think of that house did I imagine it was it squatters in Scotland there are so many stories of fairies creating visual illusions to lure humans to their world which could explain the lack of sound and honesty I don't know I still walk past that mansion whenever I go to the shops it's been get it up now and entirely covered in locks whatever mystery can be answered by going into the mansion itself I'm not going to go look I hope you like my story swamp it's been puzzling me for years I was 10 or 11 years old when I got on a camping trip with my dad's friend vojo and his wife and kids we've been friends for a while so we considered a Chava family we were camping up in Granberry I think it was Sunset Point campgrounds but I don't really remember the name anyway one night my dad was telling cheesy campfire scary stories I decided to black out when I heard he mentioned red eyes apparently the story was connected to the campgrounds but before he started here cause me and my cousin Jade had already heard it before my uncle put us out of earshot and told us we would take their headlands that had an infrared setting on them and scare the living crap out of the boys so we lied and say we'd gone to the bathroom and went up to the camp spot above the one everyone was at and waiting so my dad had gotten to a good part to scare my little cousins and brother we turned on the infrared lights and then started to call their names out one by one until finally little boo Joe got so scared he jumped out his chair and first my brother and his younger brother Noah out the way and he dashed from his chair to the camper to the mattress in seconds leaving Noah and my brother in the dust everyone sat in their chairs laughing their heads off soon everyone called it an ayah and while me and Jade were in the spare room my camper messing around it was midnight and we were watching movies on my laptop when Jade had to go to the bathroom for real I went with her because to be honest I was scared of being alone I was standing outside the bathroom when somewhere in the thick spread of trees I heard a stick snap in half I thought it was just animal but then I noticed footsteps coming towards me so point my flashlight in the direction of about three or four trees and so regrets head poking out from behind a tree the guy looked like he was in his mid-40s but there was something off about him I quickly turn my flashlight off for 10 seconds and then turned it back on and when I look back at the trees he wasn't there but instead behind the tree in front of me I panicked some band in a bar from wall and yelled to Jade Jade hurry up there was no reply Jade still no reply by this time he wasn't hiding behind the tree anymore instead he was stand at the edge of the tree line just staring at me with lifeless eyes I once again banged on the wall in yellow Jade hurry up the man started to inch closer and closer while I was backing up being the only paranoid person in my family I had my pocketknife and pulled it out after thinking I'd run away Jade finally come out but was confused why I had the look of Terror apply that on my face until she herself saw the man this time when Jade came into his view he smudged and broke into a run towards us we've gotten a good distance away from him when some people that were still apparently up I thought we were running from so he explained everything they then called the park rangers and told them everything and then the Rangers walked back up to our campsite the very next morning they found the guy wandering around other people's campsites stealing food from bear proof boxes or whatever I never really knew why he had traced us or what he was doing at the time but I never went to the bathroom without my mom or dad I've got a good one for you but I start this story let me give you a little insight on myself I grew up a very military strict family from the moment I turn five my dad taught me everything I know now from fighting to survival skills my dad being an ex-navy seal nothing really scares me I'm not trying to paint myself as the most fearless person in the world I am also a paranormal investigator not something I talk about at work but after having my fair share of experiences I grew to love it and it's always interested me so from putting away some of the worst people in the world and my fair share of seeing the creepiest [ __ ] nothing honestly scares me this story takes place several summers ago two of my friends Craig and Justin Justin also being in law enforcement and the other friend a firefighter decided to go camping I always felt so comfortable in the woods as I said my dad taught me everything I know we would just spend days in the woods just living off the land my friend knew of very remote areas up in New Hampshire I don't recall the location I was actually excited because I hadn't been camping in years it took us some time to finally find a good spot to get a good idea of the area I felt like we were on another planet we set up our tents gathered up some firewood all of us have brought MREs ate sat around talking for what felt like hours we all were pretty tired and decided to head to bed I settled into my tent and quickly passed out I was awoken up and it may be around 3:00 a.m. to this horrible feeling the only way to explain it is the need to fight or flight now I was always carrying a gun on me my beretta 92 it never really leaves my side i sat up and looked around my tent it was small enough that there wasn't much space here is the creepy part I remember my father used to tell me to listen to the woods the animals in night crawlers and they will tell you something is wrong you won't hear them in that's it I heard and nothing for the first time in my life I felt fear I have had my fair share of demonic hauntings and that doesn't come close to this I peered out of the tent we had set the tent up on a good elevation facing an open field about 100 yards or so mind you it was a full moon and brightest heck something was standing there I can only begin to describe this thing as a mammal half lizard thing the best way I can describe it is that it looked like I had a body of a horse and it looked like I had a lizard like face and what I could only describe as spikes coming out of its back and one hell of a set of teeth at first I seriously thought someone was in a costume messing with us but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was getting from this thing and I'm earthly one I did notice it looks like something I couldn't make out what kind of animal was but it was probably the size of a raccoon it looked like it was trying to sneak by it but the animal just randomly I recall exception to its doom fell on his side and just let the thing take it I was absolutely terrified I knew if this thing headed our way new 9 millimeter was going to do anything to this I could even hear it breathing all the way from my tent what only sounds like something breathing through pudding I crawled through my friends tent keeping a low profile and a small relief I noticed my friend Craig was also looking at the same thing we waited as this thing too stood there looking around then it started to make its way for the tree lines we could hear it smashing through the trees and then silence Craig and I just laid there for what felt like hours and the Sun came up still absolutely terrified to move justin woke up of course heard nothing and not believing a single word we said we packed up that day and i have never been back to those woods I seriously was afraid to tell the story and I'm probably gonna be sent for a psych evaluation and I don't care because I'm not making this crap up I several stories but Monica do the ones that stand out the most they're all dealing with what a person believes the Raven mocker I believe that because I'm a Shiraki is a shapeshifter and it's only been seen once in almost a decade worth of encounters at least in human form anyway there's a much information in them I know they're usually invisible and I've been told they can take many forms first three stories all the cars outside near wooded areas after dark for some reason it likes to stay in the woods I was adream attacks and a few are extremely unusual animal encounters these auto plays starting from when I was maybe 11 or so and continued on up to today I'm 22 now I apologize in advance of his long I tried to include as much data as possible the first one happened at my grandmother's house me my oldest cousin Tristan I decided to go outside after everyone else had gone to bed we were out on the shed talked him to smoking cigarettes when I heard my grandmother call my name I freaked out because I thought we were busted got even more freaked out because it sounded like he came from behind the shed and we knew she was in the house which was in front of us now to finish the story I have to tell you that my cousin is a hillbilly from up around Black Mountain that was really into instigating things I'm an Indian and I was raised by old Indian folk I knew there was some things you should fear and respects but mostly fear so anyway he wants to check it out peer pressure is a hell of a drug so he went to look we walked out towards the tree line and out of nowhere I heard one of my other cousins called me from ahead of us in a thick patch of cane on the swampy side of the woods then my dad called me followed surely by my own over firm we knew were nowhere in the general vicinity of their house this thing had literally mimics a nos percentage of my family at this point and I have crap sites within five feet of that patch of cane and I'm still waiting for word now there's a tree just behind the bushes and up about 15 feet there's a branch that branch try striking and I heard leaves rustle when I looked up I saw something falling from the branch it almost like a large bird but I didn't really get a good look here as soon as it landed it sang about something so I had run in ahead of us through those bushes if I'd not experienced the events that happened up to this point I thought it was a bear charging towards us it's the only logical answer if it looks across the top of the cane you could see the taller ones passing this thing was big fast and really heavy it looked like it was gonna make one hell of an entrance which sounds the match the first step sounded heavy enough to be mistaken for a horse but my ear said it was running upright on two legs right before I got to the edge it just stops we were to Chikara to even move we just stood there when I finally regain my mobility I walk backwards all the way to the house I didn't take my eyes off the treeline once we got inside a Down as soon as we closed the door something here Tristan opened it up to look and there was nothing so he closed hitting logs here we turned around inside to walk away and it happened again it hit harder this time we looked at each other and went straight into the living room we sat there in the darkness and didn't move or say a word until the Sun came up this second story happened at my house in my backyard my buddy Fernando was staying over this particular night I'm Fernando had supper 10:00 and we're planning on camping outside that night we were in the house skinned Santa drink and I started to head back outside while Fernando was playing outside in the fridge so we had this really weird care at the time and just showed up out of nowhere it was show up and creep around the edge of the woods and just watched me all the time sometimes he would glare at me and naya while literally peeking around a tree all we could see was a catcher a black outline with two eyes that glowed a bluish green color when the light hit them it was unnerving occasionally it would make these really unusual sounds that were kind of cat-like and not very cat-like at the same time almost like a cat was missing a completely unnatural sound we were a different animal it only did the weird noises at night we had lawcast I hung around but they didn't make noises like this the other cat seems to be a little weirded out by him sometimes they would avoid him and some left entirely after he sighted showing up anyways this particular night I walked out the back door and it was sitting in the middle of my backyard glaring at me as usual so I took off in a full sprint and chase him at the yard pass his line of tall bushes that blocks out the polite he ran into the woods and don't ever course in him again after the I turned his sights at walk back and immediately felt like some kind of heavy wind just blew through me and I heard the unmistakable sound of a cougar this thing sounded pissed and it couldn't be more than five feet behind me I made a good 50-yard dash to the back door in about three seconds Fernando was on his way out at the time and had seen the whole event from the window in the back door Fernando push the door open now run inside his eyes were damn near big enough to use for dinner plays mind probably weren't much smaller he said something along the lines of did you see there and I replied with nobody heard it he said there was a tall old looking man with red glowing eyes standing behind me and that he tried to grab me he left the tent where it was and decided to sleep in the house at night I started referring to him as the catechol off to there I fortified the entire yard to him that nya I remember joking around with Fernando said something like he could have had the whole house - if he came in - claiming it at the time I was under the impression that it was some demon I really like Kass and just happens to live in my backyard I didn't bother the cats after that even the scarier ones they are accounted the conclusion that the count was some kind of shapeshifter and it turned into the red-eyed man that mock the Cougar or the other way around one of those this next story also happened in my backyard but the other end of the lion offers hope bushes I cussed her at my dog was hooked up in a tree that stood maybe 20 feet in front of this old barn behind our house this old barn is where we store the tractor it's pretty much an old unfinished Shack it has three rooms and only has walls mostly just plywood the other two are pretty much a tin roof and some two by fours that hold it up so anyway I'm pacing back and forth lengthwise of the door owner I'm talking to the creator usually stop in to pet my dog I know it's weird but that's how I pray I paced a lot during the summer especially in a few days leading up to during and after a full moon my neighbors probably think I'm a werewolf anyway I'm doing my normal pacing ritual and I started to get this really weird feeling like I'm being watched I'm very sensitive to spirits and things are there so I almost immediately locked on to the general direction of where full it was coming from and my dog made it clear that it wasn't just my imagination when she perked up and started staring in the same direction she started alternating between deep growls and deep hush bark the head on her back was standing right up now remember that the bushes blocks out all the porch layer and in the summertime the trees back there are so thick that even the price full-moon one way up the tree line plus a tin roof clock tower any lawyer that digger potted trees so it was near pitch black under that shelter I made the mistake of saying I know you're there show yourself because I'm a dumbass that made everything get a thousand times worse instantly this invisible thing starts attacking us my folks I was pulling away whimpering and trying to yank her head out her collar my entire body tenses up from the almost electrical energy in the air a horrible snow that I can only describe as death starts floating around I felt paralyzed and really sick to my stomach and it only seemed to get worse wherever it was sheeting to be focused I don't know who intent on me I guess some terrifying intent and it only seemed to get worse I started getting short bursts of horrifying visual images my chest I was a fool I saw an had set my sights on fire and side squeezing my lungs and I couldn't even run eventually up like Tower and went to some kind of trance when I came back out of it I was just standing there staring at that spot my entire body was sore and I felt nauseous I unhooked the dog and walked to the back door and went inside that night I went to sleep and dig our bed for nearly two whole days I was sick as a dog it took more days to fully recover after that you couldn't pay me to go to the woods at night hell would even go back in there broad daylight for a few months afterwards the next few story is a dream attacks mostly I have a lot of those these days I figured - dude how incredibly difficult is to log me outside at night after the three physical encounters let's just say my paranoia kicks in for literally no reason at all sometimes the slightest odd feeling and my ass is indoors armed to the teeth with the house at lockdown I just assumed cat goes experiment with new taxes because of this so anyway time passes and it's mostly just little stuff for a while and then it starts to flare up again this thing likes to announce his presence when he starts feeling a little uppity the next few stories are from one of his recent UPSI moments so the strange sounds knocking on the floors and things of being washed start to become increasingly more frequent and then one nya I had this very aggressive barking coming from my front yard dogs posture our yard all the time I made friends with most of them shoo I make friends with pretty much all the wildlife that I come across even spiders and snakes they're attracted to me for some reason but not this dog the first night I didn't see him the second night I only saw his eyes the full moon was hour and the yard was very well-lit that particular night of the place that the dog could be standing he chose the darkest part of the yard between a tree and a white shark I've built in what we just saw John we don't have room in the house for the SWAT was basically a bigger shadow this was the same mirror the dog had been Barkin from the night before so I go outside and I see these two bluish glaring eyes that are pretty widely spaced apart meaning that dog was huge it sounded pretty damn big to all rights logs and I got this very unsettling feeling there was nothing else out there the dog appeared to be barking at my house and me after I came outside again very aggressively there was something really off about this dog assuming it tried to look outside to the tree line I fired a warning traded a few feet in front of there I never saw or heard it move but it wasn't there after I fired he came back the next night and barks around the side of my house near my bedroom window but back in the woods a little way it's not a few hours later and we found his prints they're almost as big as my hand if I spread my fingers apart as far as I'll go a half way through it was just some abnormally large and mentally disturbed dog so I decided not to shoot here not that would have helped see if it was what I thought it was probably would have just pissed it off a few nights later I had a dream about Koga that seemed to shrink and grow random as a rule throughout my front yard it was huge okay coming up the Porsche and trying to get my front door at one point it somehow guys had inside it was bare sized I was sitting with my back against the door to keep it out it wanted him badly I shrugged this one off it's just a normal dream until the next night when I had the exact same dream only this one was a man in a dark hooded cloak he were a mosque appears to be carved from wood and painted wire it had markings but I don't remember what they looked like it vaguely resembled odd marks that people wore during certain ceremonies he had glowing red eyes he seems to grow and shrink at random and kept trying to get through my front door it almost looked like he was floating as he onto the porch it got made before feet from the door and I just reacted to the first thing that crossed my mind I started banging as a door and yelling like I lost my mind I figured it might scare away I was very wrong it stops cocked his head sideways a little and just stared at me this thing had to be at least eight feet tall it reached out his hands towards me and I stopped dead in my tracks the hand moves really fast and I woke up immediately I'm not certain of what he pointed at me I want to say look like a gum but it could have been a gloved hand a gum was actually the last thing I would have expected and it made it even scarier which we were pissed all that was new to me this one happened about a week following the Cougar and red eyed man dreams somewhere around mid January 2018 before I get into this one I'm gonna say up never had sleep paralysis experiences but this sounds a lot like sleep prices to me mostly because I don't remember waking up I believe I was already awake I just got in from work one night and I decided to take a nap because I was exhausted somewhere during that nap I had a dream that was attacked by a swarm of birds I say a swarm because there was literally a [ __ ] ton of them part of my language like kicking a huge hornet's nest with birds they pinned me down and held me there I struggled for a while then I woke up I was laying on my back in my bed same way the birds pinned me down in the dream I was stoned dead tired so I close my eyes I just go back to sleep and then something hit me and then another and another and so on this started me a bit because for some reason I couldn't hold my eyes open I struggled a little and realized I was still pinned down I started to get the feeling that something was in my room with me and I suppose it became aware that I was aware of it I started to hear this quiet laughter more like crackling to be precise it was like the thing was trying to be quiet but not too quiet invited me to hear it it kept up this evil laughter and throwing what I fought with twigs or something at me this went on for what for maybe ten minutes the whole time I was struggling to hum wires open and turn my head to face it but I couldn't finally I gave up I never went back to sleep but after a little while I couldn't sense anymore the twig furrowing or whatever stops as well as a crackling I slowly start to regain the control my hands and eventually rest my body opened my eyes that straight up and finally got to look at the damn corner nothing what was really weird is I don't move a lot in my sleep and I'll only sleep facedown I always wake up exactly how I fell asleep I don't sleep in my back when my hands by the sides I don't sleep on the side of the bed Eva I woke up in the same position I was pinned down during both dreams I only ever had one dream even remotely similar to that one it was probably the worst dream tack I've ever had it was a small almost dull sized child or I don't know maybe it was a doll that taught like a child it was very small sweet innocent rough until it hugged me electrons my chest like a leech and so it's saying these really horrible things it began to move into some kind of tiny Hobbit monster his eyes turned into black holes and the skin turned gray like a horse it began crackling and again I became paralyzed and immobile I started to get really tired and thought I was gonna die with the last bit of energy I could muster I managed to rip it off like a band-aid and fling it across the room it hit a wall went his head Zhai back up my eyes met it's non eyes and I woke up I could still for his presence in the room I was instantly 6 years old again I pulled my feet up from under my blanket and so our engine style in the center of my bed I was literally wearing a security blanket my head was the only thing that stuck out I said until I felt safe enough to move then leaned back to grab my phone and used it to light up the room just nice to meet you feel comfortable with the idea of getting enough to turn a light on I [ __ ] you not six-year-old me wasn't half afraid as the dark as I was at night back in 2008 I was on a hunting trip with my brother up near the Canadian Michigan border we had rented a cabin for a week and we were looking forward to a nice quiet week until this monster spoiled it all one night after a day of being in the woods we were tired it didn't feel like cooking up a meal so I decided to jump in my truck and drive into town to get some pop and some grub while my brother stayed back to wash up so I drove into the town by myself and was away about 45 minutes probably not even a solid hour I talked with the gal at the counter for a few but I wanted to get back to feed my brother since he gets grouchy when he doesn't have food and I didn't want him to be hacking on me by the time I headed back it was getting dark and by the time I reached the cabin the Sun had already gone down all the way I hit the road leading to the cabin and could see the silhouette of something big looking one of the windows of the cabin at first I thought it was Everett since it looked like it was standing on two legs but this thing looked to be too tall so and then I thought to myself well then it's a bear I didn't want no bear coming around the cabin causing trouble so I decided to scare him off with my headlights so I aimed my truck in his direction and flipped on my high beams what I saw then wasn't a bear it was a monster when my lights hit it it's spun around and I saw the whole thing and it was only standing on two legs now you wanted my description of this thing and I wish I had my camera handy so I could have just took a picture and gave it to you but I wasn't expecting to see any type of monster out there he was a big guy like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons but it wasn't any sasquatch I was looking at it looked more like a werewolf he was more than seven feet tall based on how high his head was above the top of the window he was brown like a chocolate lab but the coat was different it was shaggy like a wolf and had lighter spots in the chest and legs he had big big muscles like he went to the gym his chest was really wide and his shoulders look like Brock Lesnar a real muscle head he had arms that look like they could kill you easily and these long finger hands with big nails at the ends and his neck was as thick as my waist almost even with all the power in his body that ain't what scared the hell out of me it was his face he looked like he was madder than hell about something maybe cuz I interrupted him maybe that was just his attitude all day who knows but those eyes they will haunt me all my days I believe in good and evil and this thing was pure evil the light reflected off his eyes like a night predator and the rest of his face looked like a wolf's now teeth nose ears and all just like a wolf when this thing spun around to face me pivoted on his two back legs and turned just like a human would first he turned his waist to look at me then pivoted faced me entirely my body wouldn't numb and I started to shake what in the hell was this thing a werewolf I don't know the only thing I could think was that it was trying to get to my brother and he didn't have any idea what this thing was so I started honking my horn and flashing my lights to get it to try to go away then that thing put his hands over its eyes to cover it like a person would it Nast his teeth at me and then ran off into the woods and it was still on two legs I pulled right the hell up to the cabin as close as I could grab my mag light and ran into the door left the truck running and I was calling to my brother like a crazed man Evert ran into the living room yelling at me asking what the hell I was doing I told him something was out there and we had to leave now luckily my brother's a trusting man forty-three years of living with me he should know when I'm serious right so he grabbed our rifles and Maglites and took off into the truck with haste as we ran to the truck we could both hear something big running in the woods next to the cabin and the loudest growl I've ever heard that growl almost shook my insides we tossed the guns to the truck and jumped in ever it was shining his light to the force but he didn't see anything then we took off and we got the hell out of there on the way back into town I told my brother what I had seen and he just shook his head I think he was letting it soak in he looked at me and said Arn I think you saw yourself a werewolf I looked up to the sky and it wasn't a full moon I don't know what I saw that night we went back during the day a few days later after going to church I might add and praying a lot we got our stuff and then talked to the gentleman that rented us the cabin and told him what I had seen he swore that he had never heard of anything like that around that before but I got the impression he was lying to us that's why I never go into the woods alone or unarmed anymore in the early 80s when I was 8 my family was visiting my uncle who lived in the backwoods of Missouri he lived on a lot of land and the only other people who really lived on the streets who are relatives so no one else ever just happened to be out there this meant that no one ever locked their doors because random family members were always coming by for this and that one night while I was there my parents and aunt and uncle decided to go to a nearby town to go bowling because bowling my brothers who were 11 and 12 my female cousins 6 and 14 and I a female stayed home it was still daylight when the adults left but it started raining pretty hard and got pretty dark we used to play this game that was essentially hide-and-seek in the dark house but we cleverly called it vampire there was a thin little mattress on the living room floor that some of the kids would sleep on at night so the person who was it would lie on the mattress and fold themselves into a coffin and countdown to midnight when they got to midnight they were looking for you again all the lights are off and you tried to make it back to the coffin before you got caught because of the house was in the country it was pitch black at night we couldn't see the hand in front of your face what this was meant for was the game is won you couldn't tell where the vampire was looking so you just had to make a break for it into if you were extremely lazy and I'm sure by now you can guess which one of us met those standards you could hide in a living room with the coffin and get to the base quickly Ben my 11 year old brother was it and was doing the normal countdown I was hiding maybe 6 feet from him as he's counting there's a flash of lightning I don't know if it was already looking at the living room window or if the lightning made me look but the back light of the lightning I see a man with his faced against the window he had his hands on each side of his face like he was trying to peer in and looks exactly as a stereotypical creepster heavyset scraggly beard etc I could feel every hair on my body standing on end immediately I began trying to convince myself that I didn't see what I saw but then Ben sternly whispered if anyone is hiding here stay still I sort of croaked out in I'm here right as there was another flash of lightning creepster was still there but was no longer trying to look in the window instead he was looking towards the front door Ben and I immediately knew what was coming next from where he was standing creepster was only about five feet from the front door Ben was the same distance but there was a couch between him and the door Ben limped over the couch it looked to the door as the creeps are started trying the handle at this point I guess ban decided it was best to let the creeper know that people were home in to know that he was there because he flipped on the porch light and then started turning on the lights in the house this is going to sound weird but I was too terrified to panic having said that I was relying completely on Ben to know and to tell me what to do he told me to go lock the other doors and was yelling for everyone else to come out and lock off the windows honestly the next few minutes are crazy in my mind I remember everything up until this point extremely clearly then I remember the end very clearly but I'm less clear about the middle I know that I locked the side door and then the sliding glass door in the back of the house when we've talked about it over the years some people remember us seeing him out in the back door as well I don't think I remember that what I clearly recall is locking the sliding glass door and standing there frozen and hearing Ben and I very calm but firm voice a close the curtain listen to me okay close the curtain so I did been can't remember that part I just remember my fear in Ben's voice so I'm not sure if I saw the creep stare in the backyard or not we tried to call the police but my own uncle had a stupid party line and it didn't work whether from a storm or from a neighbor leaving it off the hook or whatever for the record they are the only people I've ever known with a party line so this wasn't normal to me either but for those of you who don't know what this is and really rural areas multiple people on the street would actually share a phone line if you didn't have different rings for different households but you could pick up the phone and listen to your neighbors conversation we also tried to summon and help my uncle CB radio but we just couldn't reach anyone my uncle was a hunter so he had a gun rack full of rifles in his home my older cousin was out on town hunting trip in took them with him all we could find was a BB gun that looked like a real rifle I vividly remember Ben putting me on the phone duty and Scott my older brother on CB duty while he stood watched with the little square window on the front door with the BB gun maybe 30 minutes later Ben said he's back he's coming up the driveway the rest of us froze in fear but Ben opened the door and stepped out on the porch pointing the gun at him get out of here right now then as we hear our cousin Kyle who lived down the road a bit say you know it's a BB gun right even though Kyle was only 15 I remember that we felt like we had been saved when he showed up Kyle seems really skeptical of our story like we were playing a trick on him even though we had no idea what was coming but he stayed with us - our parents came home honestly I don't remember if we ever told our parents what happened when they get home there was definitely no police involvement though we just went on with our trip but we never played vampire again without some mention of that night you when I was 19 I worked for a company that allocated labour to rural areas of Australia basically what you did was tell them when you were available and they'd send you to a remote farm for a few weeks where do you do whatever they needed done it was hard work in long hours but good pay and good fun if you got into a nice group of workers when this occurred I was working on a large property I was told it covered roughly the same landmass the state of Maryland in the United States about nine hours from Sydney City and the property itself was about 40 minutes from the nearest town in short it was the middle of nowhere I was working at the farm clearing bushland with three other guys my age in the city our boss was a guy called Jeremy who owned the farm is supervised as while helping out with the work he was pretty laid back and was generally really good to us this summer in particular was very hot and that work was hard so one day when the temperature hit about 38 degrees Celsius about 100 Fahrenheit Jeremy decided to give us the afternoon off he said that he knew of a waterhole on the farm about 25 minute drive north I was keen for a swim but the other guys just wanted to relax for the arvo so him and I hopped in one of the work trucks and started heading out across the property it was mostly wide empty expanses with a few clumps of scattered bush land Jeremy wasn't much of a talker so we drove more or less in silence after about 20 minutes however he suddenly perked up and jabbed me in the ribs do you see that over there beneath the two dead trees I should mention here now if you're not familiar with the inland areas particularly those in Australia they are brown and red and mostly flat and bland meaning any bright colour stick out like a sore thumb so you can imagine our surprise and we can see a large balloon angular structure far off in the distance we steered in this direction and as we got closer we realized it was huge blue shipping container just sitting here in the middle of nowhere Jeremy was perplexed I asked him if he knew what it was and he obviously didn't he said he hadn't seen it when he drove through the same area about five weeks before and he wanted to go and see what it was initially we pulled to a stop about a hundred meters away from it at this stage I had a really bad feeling the whole thing wasn't right it's hard to explain but if you can imagine seeing such a foreign object in the middle of a huge barren expanse it had to be something weird Jeremy however wanted to investigate which I understood given it was his property but in truth it was I was really anxious as we got closer things got even more bizarre there was a big diesel generator behind a thumping away and a CCTV camera on his side all motion activated so they budged from side to side following us as we moved around I tried to reason with Jeremy something along the lines of with all the security someone obviously doesn't want us here let's just go he brushed me off however reminding me was his farm and whoever I put this year was trespassing so he wanted to go inside despite all the surveillance there was only a small padlock on the huge door we had some bolt cutters in his toolbox and after a bit of a struggle we broke the lock and went inside the first thing I noticed was the rush of cold air as we got in the place was air-conditioned which I must admit was quite pleasant on such a hot day we searched around for a light switch but I could already see this was some sort of IT setup there were flashing LEDs all around the place and the sort of hum you hear when a hard drive is working hard when we finally switched on the lights we could see a sophisticated I'll be a somewhat cluttered office setup there were hard drives the size of our fridges and other computer equipment lining the walls sometimes power two or three high and plastic storage boxes scattered around several deaths with computer monitors arranged in the middle complete with rolling office chairs at this stage I felt like I was in one of those nonsensical dreams this made absolutely no sense we wandered to the middle and sat down at the desk to see if these computers would give us any idea what the hell is going on here my heart was racing and all I wanted to do is bolts we had been seen by the CCTV so if anyone was monitoring they already knew we were here and Jeremy on the other hand was adamant that we had to get to the bottom of this so I put on a brave face and started looking through the computer this went on for a while but ensure neither of us very had high grasp of technology outside a Facebook and Microsoft Word the best I can describe it from my lay position is that it was an endless list to computer talk it was like the old Napster a line where download screams look like just constantly picking up and receiving data then recording it on several windows I gave up on the computers and walked cautiously over to the far end of the container to the big pile of storage boxes by then I was pretty sure no one else was there and there was nowhere to hide really but I was still incredibly on edge I decided against my better judgment see what was inside all these boxes my brief sift through this box still makes me feel sick to my stomach I didn't take long for me to realize that this box was for posters DVDs and photos of all hardcore child pornography one thing that still gets me to this day is that it was neatly ordered into folders in smaller boxes these people were organized I immediately recoiled jumped up and ran over the Jeremy I could hardly string out a sense I was just disgusted I said something to the effect of mates get out child sex go get the [ __ ] up I dragged him out compose myself and managed to explain what I saw we jump back to the truck and sped back to the house the farm had no mobile phone reception and we didn't have a satellite phone so we had to go back to the landline to call the police once we called them they stood to make it all the way from the town to the farm which was about a half an hour from the town we waited talking frantically about what we'd seen until the cops arrived at almost an hour later they arrived with two four-wheel drives and we jumped in and let them back this is where it gets worse by the time we got back the container drawer was open and there was fire inside we had only two small extinguishers in the cars and these did very little the fire department took an hour to get there which by that stage most of the damage was already done an arson report by the federal police found on was no evidence of the computer equipment and only traces of paper and cardboard this means that whoever ran it knew we were there and had time to come and remove most of it and get away there were various ways to get off the property and the land mass was huge so there was real no real way to tell them honestly since the police hadn't taken us all too seriously in the first instance probably due to our poor explanation of my phone aerial surveillance was also impossible by the time we had pieced it all together I took keen interest in following it up but with no real evidence of who might be responsible the investigation went cold I've kept in contact with Jeremy and the shipping container is still sitting there on a farm as it's too expensive to Moo I'll never forget what I saw in those boxes this story takes place in August of 2013 in the mountains of southern Oregon I am a USAF security forces Airmen military policeman my girlfriend was at work and was swelteringly hot that day and it began to turn into thunderstorms my buddy Nick another military cop and I decided to go explore some back roads and get out of the heat in town Southern Oregon is a crisscross with logging roads some actively used in many totally forgotten and grown over Nick and I spent many of our days starting on the roads that we knew finding roads we didn't know and driving four hours into the mountains eventually navigating back to paved roads on this particular day the storm clouds building over the mountains we set off over the road we had never been on before and began to drive into the mountains after driving for around an hour we hadn't seen or heard any signs of other people in the woods who rounded a bend in a thick fir woods and emerged in a meadow that was totally surrounded by thick aspen groves the meadow was perfectly flat and nearly still we both noticed the strange stillness almost immediately no birds hardly any insect noise no squirrels and certainly no other people on the far side of the meadow right at the edge of the tree line there was a picnic table the table was very odd however it was painted a bright orange and was much larger than a typical picnic table in the park we're marking on this Nick drove through the meadow and got a closer look I remember being apprehensive after we approached the whole scenario was especially strange the overall silence of the aspen grove was unsettling also it was nearly impossible to see far into the trees as aspen grows extremely close together when we parked by the table i hopped out of the passenger seat of the truck to check it out i'm not very tall only about five five regardless the table was ridiculously oversized and practically unusable the seats were nearly at chest level meaning it would have to climb up to sit on them as I was looking at the table Nick called me over to the truck and I noticed that he was looking back into the Aspen's at first I could see what he was looking at but then I noticed a splash of color that was completely he had a place in the thick trees a small one-man tent was set back into the trees about 50 feet from the strange table I had an initial feeling of dread and felt certain that there was someone in the tent and if we could see that tent they could see us there were no campgrounds in this area no people and no main roads for miles surely someone camping so remotely would be at the very least a strange person however as we observe the tents we didn't see any movement or hear any sounds coming from it Nick suggested I call out I didn't want to but I did hey anyone there I yelled no reply the only completely on edge Nick and I thought about driving away and leaving the strange area but we began to fear for the worst what if there was a body in a tent what if someone had gotten kidnapped foolish I know but we thought it all the same after some debate we decided to have Nick turn the truck around and drive away from the camp we need to leave in a hurry he would be waiting behind the wheel with my heart pounding I started walking through the trees toilet tent I was totally keyed up on the senses on full alert when I reached the campsite several things struck me as odd backpacks were scattered all over no fire had been built and no wood collected the tent the tent was literally full backpacks and women's clothing full of dread I turned to leave and tell Nick what I had seen as I left I heard Nick yelling let's go let's go the [ __ ] out here not knowing why he was yelling I ran him back to the truck my broker the trees I saw an old beat-up Ford Taurus on the road blocking us from leaving the meadow I immediately left him to the passenger seat and Nick floored the gas pedal the car was occupied by two men a third person was laying against the window in the back as we drove the meadow the driver attempted to block us from the road but Nick drove around them and accelerated any way he could I looked back and saw the car attempting to turn around on the narrow road Nick drove like a madman and though I was honestly terrified that they would catch up we hit the highway without seeing the car again I still don't know know if that person was male or female I called the State Police and they promised to send a true for after to check out the scene however I received to call the next day from a trooper stating that the campsite the backpacks of women's clothing were all gone so he could tell people had been in the area the strange table was still by the thick aspen grove i have not returned to that area and do not intend to to preface this I want to say last year I spent about 32 days in the woods either scouting hunting or fishing the year before that I spent about 22 days this doesn't include my regular hunting camping adventures which in the past three years adds up to just over 100 days I've been hunting since I was 9 and I spent a lot of time outdoors in various different parts of the US and in Canada I've seen and heard a lot of strange [ __ ] but this takes the cake I was in cahoots North Georgia wilderness for seven days scouting for bears wild hogs in Deer prepping for a hunting trip later that year I had hiked in about ten miles and then went off trail for another three to five miles basically I was out in the middle of nowhere since I was alone I was using a hammock that was built into a bug net and I had a rain fly over it I spent about three days halfway up a mountain just looking for a good place to hunt I saw three to four good-sized bears about ten hogs and came across some good-sized deer on the fourth day I was going to head down to a small stream they had marked on my GPS and then set up camp restock on water and prep for the two-day hike back I could have gone faster but I wanted to be able to look for any animal side along the way as I was approaching the small stream I noticed a tent which I was excited to see as I had been completely alone for a few days and it's always nice to run into another hiker generally us wilderness folks are pretty down-to-earth as I got closer to the tent I noticed that there was a small pack on the ground just outside of it I figured the person wouldn't have been that far from their camp so I set up my camp about 30 yards away and with about four hours of daylight started cooking some dinner two hours later I started to wonder where this person was given that I was in the wilderness and it was a 1 plus day hike out there wasn't much I could do but I did hike around the site making a circle as I went out to make sure I looked for any signs of struggle in case of a bear attack or maybe they had an injury I got about 1/4 of a mile from the campsite walking a circle but I couldn't find anything as night came no one showed I started a fire in hopes that the person would be able to find their way back and have some light fires burn really bright and are very easy to see from far away and after eating searching and hoping if the person was going to make it back I called it a night I had a small flask with me and took a couple sips of whiskey jumped in my hammock with my pistol and attempted to go to sleep I sleep pretty hard and I mean really hard regardless of where I am it literally annoys my friends because I can always seem to fall asleep and stay asleep regardless of where in the world we are but this might this night was different I felt like something was off but I figured it was just me worrying about this person who by all my accounts was completely missing so for the first time in my life I will come to the sound of what I thought was footsteps but not in the sense of footsteps on leaves but heavy footed person that would make on the walking of an old floor it was extremely loud I got my gun grabbed my headlamp stored in all my small compartments above me and waited to see if it would stop right at the moment it did that moment I saw something that scared the [ __ ] out of me on my rain fly the gloom of a flashlight faint but there I shouted hello and right then uh it sounded like ten people suddenly ran away from every direction I dropped out of my hammock and onto the ground frantically turning my head left shining all around me but I didn't see [ __ ] my heart was racing pretty bad but I thought it might have just been the reflection of the Moon on the rain fly yeah how was it and those footsteps running away were probably armadillos or something even though their eye shine and they are pretty noticeable and easy to spot problem was there was no moon and I had never seen an armadillo above 2,000 feet not to say they don't live up there just never seen one and for some reason the campsite I set up I was gone the fire had been put out by water it was apparent because there was not a damn cold and a thing I thought for sure was about 4 a.m. but I had only been asleep about an hour at this point I wanted to leave but hiking out of the wilderness Wallisch dark is always a bad idea so I grabbed my flask took a swig of whiskey removed my rain fly so I can see out of my hammock around to the area I was in and tried my hardest to go back to sleep I was laying down when I saw some light hit the trees above me it was clear was coming from downstream I got in my hammock it started yelling hey y'all need any help no response I saw whatever was putting out the light and it spun around and started heading back downstream really really fast at this point my body had pumped through adrenaline and all the blood that I had and I was exhausted from it all and I was finally able to fall asleep and woke up around 7 a.m. when I did I noticed that my water filter I had left out was missing it's a gravity filter and it hangs out from a tree filtering down into my main bladder that I put in my backpack and my water bladder sitting on the base of the tree it looked like it was cut down in the middle with a knife they cut down to my bare bag which had food in it and took some of it the creepies part of it all was is that they went through my bag which was under my hammock while I was sleeping I checked the bear bag before I went to sleep the second time and it was still there hanging and before I went back to sleep the second time it was still there hanging in my bag under my hammock did not be touched I packed up all my [ __ ] and hightailed it out of there keeping my pistol close to me and moving as fast as I could I ended up making the hike back and just under 15 hours I hiked the trail part a night because I wasn't about to spend another night out there I didn't see anyone out on my why out there were no cars parked at the trailhead and the DNR said they had only seen my car there since then I haven't gone out there without any friends I reported all this to the local DNR and they looked at me like I was crazy and maybe I am Tennessee has some real [ __ ] e people out in nature I hooked all around in high school made some good memories with a girl in developing nature Tennessee has some good roads two popular hiking sites and tons of many trails branching off sometimes you need to know what to look for as far as the trail marker goes but the interesting ones are always good ways out there's one spring water fall that spills across a mossy granite wall towering over a shallow stream that empties into a decent-sized pond I went out there with a friend last time and we got separated on the way out I have no freaking clue how this happened we've each been hiking for 10 years I've run over it 1,000 times my head and it has to be this one ledge system to get to the top of the fall you need to take a longest detour that has a lot of old wooden railings in a threeway branching ledge system okay so I've taken all three routes and ended up at the same spot they take maybe three to four minutes to blast through and they're kind of like rocky corridors I don't take the left one anymore because I'm 90% sure these big stains in the middle are blood and I don't want to know what happened there it's all because the left is by far the most inviting flowers bloom and vines are etched into the moss matted bedrock anyways I'm 45 seconds ahead of her and opted for the right of the path when I realized I should tell her to avoid the left it's really hard to reverse given the sloping angle of the path and a few short drops that become narrow climbs [ __ ] it faster if I speed through and yell down I get out to the right corridor swing around where the middle path drops off and yell no reply she took left I run over and climbing to the left corridor thinking she saw the stains and freaked out it looks like someone got bludgeoned to death to be fair she's [ __ ] gone Ashley nothing and that's what made my hair stand up I literally heard nothing no birds no home of the forest not even wind I traced left all the way back and noted a few side passages if you miss a couple of jumps no bodies were in the middle though good I figured I may as well get to the top of the Falls where I can someone can aerial view I get there naturally sitting there waiting for me she says she took the left path of the trail guide what there are no trail guides there are Rangers but she knows the difference they wouldn't be in the rock labyrinth this guy had a uniform on and I said Trail Authority she knew I was thinking based on my face that she was crazy because I reversed that course and we did an ASAP without us saying anything loud and man it's weird when you know you're watched so yeah we pretend we were going back to the car real quick to get more water so I left the fish food on a little crevice like I always did and we left she showed me this weird side patches that could not have existed a year before I walked all the way around and you had to crouch but you could walk through the labyrinth if you get through it hindsight we should have taken another way I think he lives in those tunnels she said and crypt trying to lead her in different directions but she just followed the light and saw him standing in the tunnel she walked the rest of the way to the top that man was very creepy he was sitting there staring at her that means she also knew that I was looking for her that means she followed him before seeing the blood spatters all over the floor in walls and that's not the totally [ __ ] part the [ __ ] fish food on my hood of my car it was put there by someone her water bottle was gone - she had it cabron eared in her pack so he must have snuck up and taken it at some point we hiked fast - and never went back out in we refuse to ever go back there thanks for watching if you enjoyed these stories please hit that like button it helps me out a ton if you're
