Im so happy to hear these stories and to see mine was read. I feel honered. and it is quite crazy to hear stories from others that are so close to me. Makes me feel not alone with the crazy things that happen around here..
Hey there Beka, I went to college not too far from the New River, actually campus was right on the banks of it, so your story definitely put me on edge. That region of virginia is a very high-energy place with a lot of spooky stuff going on
@@Holistic_angst64 Yeah, this area can be quite high in energy leading to crazy and strange things happening all around. I have more stories and things I have witnessed I would love to share. I think at times its due to the river that helps fuel the energy in the area.
I appreciate your story!
@@DarknessPrevails Thank you so much
@@Bekawolf1 this energy that you're talking about what type of energy is this? Is it a type of force or something else
As a lifelong resident of Appalachia, I can vouch the weird stuff that is just normal for all us that live here. It takes an outsider to point it out and then you stop and wonder why it never seemed strange before but...it's usually best not to think too hard on these things. Lol
Know exactly how that is. I have spent 53 years on this earth in southern Louisiana. The swamps and woods have secrets I don't want the answers too. Outsiders totally trip, me I'm home.
Im sure walking trees are very common in your day to day life
I lived in West Virginia for about a year and I’m telling you there are things in those mountains. Once my mom was doing the laundry on our porch when she called me outside. “Look!”, she said pointing to the top of a nearby hill. I looked and saw what had to be the largest buck deer I’ve ever seen. The rack on it was at least six feet wide. I looked at my mom to ask her something, but I stopped. Her face went from Wonder to confusion to fear. “Let’s go in, I think it might charge us.”, she said looking back. I turned to take a last look and saw that the deer was standing on its hind legs. It the turned and walked into the woods on two legs.
What part of West Virginia?
My question is the same as the one before me. Where at in wv...if you don't mind? I live in Nicholas county wv. And I live in the "boonies." Which is "mountain talk" for deep in the mountains, the back woods, or the hills. But I have 4 babies so I like to know exactly what's out here... Because in these mountains... ignorance is not bliss.

I have more stories from my time in WV. But, the scariest one I remember is the night before we moved back to Ohio. You see, over that summer we had “varmints” trying to get into our barn and chicken coop. Our dogs, two pit mixes, would chase them away. Once, a bear tried and my dad and brother had to go outside with their guns to help chase it off. But that night, I woke up to the chickens screeching in their coop. I looked over to see if my brother was going to get up, but he wasn’t there. I opened the bedroom door to find my dad and brother sitting by the front door on kitchen chairs with their guns in their laps. My mom and sister was on the couch trying to keep her baby quiet. I wondered why they hadn’t gone outside when I noticed the dogs weren’t barking. I listened close and heard them whimpering under the porch. Suddenly, one of the dogs yelped and started biting at something. Then there was a loud crack, then silence. Then I heard the other dog go through the same experience. I was about to ask what’s happening when I heard something step up on the porch. It started walking across as my dad and brother stood up and pointed their guns at the door. The knob rattled, but the door stayed closed. Whatever it was began circling the house. I ran into my bedroom and covered my head. I must have passed out because the next thing I knew, it was light outside. I went into the front room to find my mom and sister throwing everything we owned into boxes, bags and baskets. I looked outside and out porch and yard was covered with blood and assorted parts from out livestock and dogs. “ What happened? Where’s dad?”, I asked. “Get your clothes packed, we’re leaving!”, my mom yelled. It turned out that my dad and brother had gone into town to rent a U-Haul and to tell my uncle that the gardens and what was left of the livestock was up for grabs. We were back in Akron before nightfall.
@@fredfreed2956 what was that thing that killed your animals? Have you ever discussed it again with your folks?
The dog probably saved that bloke. He was driving after drinking in thick fog and dangerous conditions, and if he’d have taken that angry phone call involving his sister’s girlfriend while still driving in the tunnel he may have crashed. The dog stopped him just as the call came in. He should have headed back down to the river route the next day with some doggy treats and left them in thanks.
I wanna say thanks for your view on it.. I didnt think of it that way.. That is my story.. im kinda shocked it was read, I didn't think it would a good enough to make it in.. so I posted it anyway.. and to clear things up and im sorry I didn't in the story. Im a 25 year old woman just to clear things up alittle.
Good point..sounds more like a Black Dog phantom than a Hellhound.
@@Bekawolf1 Do you think it could be a warning sign and people don't always listen to a warning sign, so instead it gets blamed for things? You're given a warning, you don't get it, you die - thus wrongful blaming. It just seems strange that it would look so scary though and make you so uncomfortable and practically have ptsd from it lol. But who knows, we can't understand. It does seem there's a chance it saved you though, so that's good. 🤎
(*Edit: Maybe that's legitimately what it looks like as it still is helpful. Unless you see what you need to see? It just seems unfair to be scared for so long I guess. Do you think there's any way your brain concocted it to save you or stress or anything? I've seen super weird things so I would believe you. Just curious what your opinion is.)
That's a cool interpretation. I'm impressed. :D Why do you think it seems to be so unnerving though in its vibe and appearance? Because I feel like it could stop you in other ways without scarring you for the rest of your life, lol. I mean a good experience can make you want to be careful moving forward as well. But who knows, maybe that's just what this thing looks like. 🤷♀️ Or maybe it looks like what you need to see? But still... It sucks to be scared of it for such a long time.
sometimes hell hounds are seen as protectors for some families
I'm surprised my story made it in. Typing it out last night nearly brought me to tears, the multiple grammatical errors i went back to and fixed were the result of that. What I experienced scared me off from hiking on that section of the AT for the foreseeable future, when I eventually do thru hike I'm planning to knock out that section in a whole day and get it behind me asap. Other hikers have experienced weird lights as well, notably in the North Carolina/Tennessee section in GSMNP, and one group a few years back woke up 50 miles north of where they set up camp in Maine. If anyone has had any weird experiences, please make them known.
Thank you for your story!
Your stories made my hair stand on end. I have always wanted to walk the trail myself. Living right on it for the most part. And I feel you with the spelling errors and grammer. Typing mine last night got me shaken up as I havent thought about that night in so long.
@@Bekawolf1 Can i know more about yiur story 🙏🙏
Im actually serious i would love to know more about yiur encounters if you want my whatsapp number i love these spooky stories 🙏🙏🤔
which story was your's?
When a hippie says there's bad mojo you know it's time to leave 😎✌
Some people are called, sensitives and they can feel the atmosphere, if its good or bad.
@Halvdan Felman not round here this place is lost in time
@@eyes2c..519 Got a few weird tales from around your parts, eh?
Amen brother always trust your gut
Hello darkness (prevails) my old friend.
Bob AKA THE CHOSEN ONE ALSO A FAN OF DARKNESS!!! #AWESOME
Bob i hope you read this... We are fellow intellects and if you want to know a truth 1% of this world knows and that truth is stranger than any movie listen to this book written in 1877 its on "youtube" THE SMOKY GOD by Willis George The reason governments will not acknoledge Sasquatch is not for who they are.... It is more like what they know....
He's come to narrate spooky stories once again 💀👀😃
My two favourite narrators
I've come to see you once again.
I voted for this topic cause it sounded cool and all but didn’t realize they would mostly occur WHERE I LIVE.
IKR??? I've even heard of the dog with red eyes. I've only heard 2 stories so far and both happened within 15/20 miles from me. 😬 No more hiking without a big stick for me.
Right this is exactly Im in middle of the first two stories like what he actually mentions my town and the one is speaking on an incident tht happened on my moms street like what
He said New River Valley and I was like greeeaat🤣
My man was attacked by a spriggan from skyrim
🤣 my thoughts too!
I am from the Appalachian mountains, and I still live there (NC, TN). Thank you for not saying AppaLAYchan like so many people who are not from here. That annoys us. Lol
but is Juxtapose pronounced “jookStaPose” or “jYuckStaPose”
I said the same thing. I'm from Western NC and when I hear someone say "Appa-LAY-shun", it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. UGH!
@@maevependragon I'm from western NC too! Now I live right across the state line in TN.
Right, born and live in NW NC
@@drewfinn2 but there isn't a Y in Appalachian. It makes no sense to say AppaLAYchian.
These stories bring back memories of growing up in a town in NY in the shadow of Northern Appalachia. Such danger and such wonder the woods held, especially in Autumn when the deciduous trees created a full carpet of leaves on the ground. No telling if there were copperheads, mice, or other creatures hiding within.
Also, give that dog a treat for saving the first narrator's life. Drunk driving, distracting phone calls, and bad visibility are perfect for car accidents on their own; I would be counting my blessings for getting out of that one alive, even if dogs have always made me nervous. EDIT: Hey, it is Let's Read on the other end of the phone in the first story.
I will say if I saw it again I would give it a treat. But I will say I wasn't drunk while driving(I wont say I didn't drink but those was 3 to 4 hours before my drive. I drank the the beginning of the party. As I knew I wasn't gonna stay long. Parties are not really my cup of tea), and the call from my sister was the only time I picked up my phone. As I tend to keep my phone in my jacket pocket or under my jacket in the passenger seat, to keep myself from using it while driving.
AnaxErik4ever please share your experiences with us!!!
That dude, ran into a hound from hell. These dogs are supernatural. The heck with the treats. You need to look up the subject, hounds from hell and what are they. I'm sure, youtube has something on this subject!
In her defense it is known cop town they trap ppl in like triple plans ppl around tht is area cuz of tht fact nobody drinks drunk there believe tht they kno jimmy jo on the case 🤣
Damn I haven’t watched this guys videos in like a year! What a mistake I made
Welcome back!
Mistake as in what I’ve missed or why did I come back
@@clearingbaffles I think he mean missing everything
@@clearingbaffles like it was a mistake not watching his vids for a year lol
I can already predict what one of them will be. It’s me, I am a horror in the Appalachian mountains.
Yep. I will second that. Lol!
What part? I'm in West Virginia.
People laugh at this comment until they turn around, seeing jeff staring at them.
Soo..this Jeff dude...is that dog she witnessed. And I don't know if it was a hell hound but more the Michigan dogman. I wonder 🤔
You just misunderstood him, he said hor - ror. Don't worry, we're non-judgemental around here
the Appalachians are considered a hotspot for unexplainable events, basically if ya wanna experience the unknown these mountains are a near sure fire place to do so .... why? maybe its on a ley line and taps into some supernatural power, maybe the barriers between dimensions are weaker there maybe it acts as a nexus between realities where portals appear and vanish regularly ... we may never know ..because those who find out are likely those who vanish into the mountains never to be seen again....
I’ve lived in the Appalachians my entire life. I’ve never seen anything I couldn’t explain. I suppose that’s a good thing. Not for lack of trying though 🤣
And this area is the most weirdest phenomenon it’s wild idk how to explain it and old high high up retired gov will come here too outta all places like this is legit no where if u ain’t bout trails then u dk bout this place period it’s a strange place these r facts old Masonic founded tones w whole county in caves and they say this river connects to the Nile its super dangerous
@@sunshinegirl9333 I seen a ufo twice on Wv side when I was five seven witnesses one time and four other
Indians in WV used to say the Appalachian woods were haunted. I’ve heard many stories of strange things happening.
@@toddandangelbrowning2920 a lot of suffering in these hills thru the ages 🥺
Darkness!!!!!!!!! Its rainy, chilly, and windy here.... Your soothing voice will drown out all that!!!!! Thank you for your work, I always look forward to your posts.
Having lived & gone to school right ON the New River years ago, I'm both super grateful & kinda bummed I never saw/experienced anything there. lol Thanks for the great stories, Darkness!
The music sounds like it came from the first "Alien" film. Creepy and sci fi sounding!!!! I love it!
Thank you! I made it myself. Which music in particular were you speaking of, if I might ask?
@@DarknessPrevails Your very welcome sir! The music in the first half of the video until it goes to music you've used in other videos. You're very talented man! Keep it up please! It put chills down my spine!
Love this! I've been kinda obsessed with looking into Appalachian music, culture, and stories recently so this was just perfect.
Check out Doc Watson. He's from my area of the Appalachians!
@@maevependragon I'll do that! Thanks!
Firefox collection is killer
You saw The hell hound twice because it actually SAVED your life. You WERE going to crash in the tunnel but the hell hound took pity on you because you were kind to it’s kind (what you thought was it’s kind) by not hitting the “dog” you saw the first time. So the dog blocked your path to death in the tunnel to pay you back.
That gives me goosebumps to think about! But I do also believe it to be true!
Cheers!
Tht tunnel twists back around on itself if you don’t beep going thru it and another vehicle is coming you will hit em there’s been couple accidents there a man use to live in a trailer there he’s been gone I’m wondering if it’s cuz of this js
Hell hounds are never a good sign NEVER!
Thanks for a new vid DP.
I wonder if the burning tree thing was a mom or dad protecting it's young burning bundles of joy? 🔥🔥🔥
I live in the Appalachian mountains. Thank you for these stories and thank you so much for pronouncing "Appalachian" properly! I wish I would have known about this particular upload because I have a few stories of my own! 😊
"Look at me dog!
Um... Never mind... As you were.."
Hi darkness 😀 love your videos so much! Thank you for them keep it up
I love when I’m already watching your old videos and you upload a new one
YESSS! Ive been waiting all day since you told us on Twitter for these stories ❤️
I once heard an Appalachia story, I won’t ever forget.
Burt Reynolds, Ned Betty, and a couple of their friends had planned a wonderful canoeing trip down a river. It started out innocently enough. While they were at the general store, grabbing a few last minute supplies, and taking care of a few of the final preparations. One of the group got into a guitar vs banjo duel, with a genetically handicapped boy. This trip went down-river from there, one could say.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure that was in the Ozarks though.
They should make a movie about that and call it deliverance,lol
Awesome!!! Its so windy n ominous out rn this is soooo perfect thx darkness!❤💤
The first story is spot on 👍🏾 Im was the NRV and I’ve seen strange and experienced unnerving events growing up there. Always good to hear stories from home ☺️👍🏾that others experienced the same stuff.
Doing great work DP
Ohhhh I love love love this upload already and love this upload and haven't even listened yet? I absolutely love your channel and narrations so much! ❤️. Be safe, happy and healthy everyone
For Tales from the Appalachians, read Manly Wade Wellman’s “Silver John” stories. I also recommend “The Legend of Hillbilly John,” from 1971 - a film about Silver John’s encounters with strange Creatures in the Mountains!
Thanks for the recommendation! Might I suggest to you, try reading missing 411 books written by David Paulides. I got all 9 books for xmas. Cases of missing people from national parks and forests. Extremely interesting and honestly quite terrifying
Awesome stuff, love all you do. Ever thought of doing a live read on Twitch?
perfect to knit to!! thanks Darkness!!
as someone who grew up in the Appalachians I was told if you heard something in the mountains to act like you didn't, same with if you saw something
Perfect timing darkness 👌🖤
what a voice!!!!! 💯
I love hearing your stories, please keep up the narration!
I can’t say how happy it made me to hear the correct pronunciation of Appalachian!! I’m born and raised in the “heart of the Appalachians” and it always drives me a little nuts when people pronounce it the other way
Small tip, the disturbing really really stands out. Caught my eye instantly as I was browsing youtube
It doesn't matter as long
it's from Darkness Prevails :)))
I Love the stories he tells, the voice too :D
Your videos are awesome guy! Keep it up.
Definitely going to enjoy these stories with daddy darkness in the lead!
Woohoo! Love stories from the Appalachians
Yesss more Appalachian stories!
My area. Yes! Thank you. This place can be creepy. I know without doubt there are very scary places around here
Good stuff, mountain country strangeness is among the best. Maybe because I spent my formative years in flat country :)
The absolute best thing about this video is the fact that the narrator can correctly pronounce Appalachian.
Been listening to this amazing series for years. I’m curious, I’ve heard of actors having strange and haunting encounters re-enacting on sets like ‘the exorcist’ or ‘the conjuring.’ Have you ever experienced anything yourself retelling these stories? Always look forward to new episodes!
Hey dude u should make a video on the top ten stupidest stories submitted
Stupid in the sense of so many plot holes that you can't undetsrand anything, just terribly written, ridiculois scenarios or all of the above?
@@AlTheWombat Storys that even i dont fully believe like this one he posted on his subreddit where a guy fought a skinwalker on a horse with a ninja sword and killed it.
That would be cool. My favorite one was where the guy turned on anime mode and pulled out a katana to fight a skin walker or something.
You are a Wonderful storyteller!!
Perfect timing everytime!!
I just know when a new story is posted by you! I actually did a little dance in my chair (as much as my 8 month pregnant belly would let me)😋
I'm from the Appalachian mountains 😅😅
first time listening to your channel. love a good scary horror story let get started 👀👍
I've seen similar star/ball of light things twice this following months even though i live in a different country. The description that lady gave was very similar.
I've seen them quite a few times now, the first time was when I was driving back home from the grocery store, and the second time was in the mountains. Definitely very unnerving
Thank you👍
I too am from the New River Valley! I to Know the eggelston bridge you speak of well! Small world!!! I was born in Radford, Va
The fact you pronounced it all right makes me happy
Great stuff,wet,windy night here,fires going,I'm in bed,good stories to listen to.
So cozy!
Awsome I'm ready
Sheepsquatch, wendigos, deathclaws & scorchbeasts are everywhere in those hills
Scorchbeast?? Deathclaws? What are those?
Bruh the fall out reference lol
@@cassidyrose9281 I referenced a video game called Fallout76 that takes place after a nuclear war. It's set in the Appalachian Mountains. Deathclaws sheepsquatch wendigos etc are the mutant creatures left wandering the countryside
@@mojododo85 oic lol
Born raised and reside in the southern Appalachians. Thanks
I live in Va and I remember hearing about the panther we had in the area.
I vaguely remember hearing something about a panther here in VA too.
Engrossing story and indeed scary. Second time lucky I must say, and thankfully it ended @ the second time itself, and didn’t go to the third time, great story and narration.
The creature in the second story at least didn’t harm the person and just went away. A nebulous phantom-like apparition who didn’t even bother about the human present there. That’s nice.
The last one steals the show!!.. sky changing colours, missing stars, mixed signals on the phone!!.. this is thrilling and oh so engrossing!!.. these are real suspenseful stories and make me lose the passage of time!.. great job of narration and excellent story!!..
Hey there! I wrote the third part of the video and am glad my experience captivated you. Others have experienced lights in the smoky mountains, so I know what I saw wasn't the first time someone had seen something like that.
Hey darkness prevails. Could you do a video on scary stories from west virginia and/or maryland?
Right seems never hear much from WV but from everything around us. Or is WV to fucking strange to wanna hear
You are now my favorite narraator because my favorite storys are about Woods, Cabins in the Woods and Criptyds a lot of scary creatures lol😂🤣😁👍
Lol narrator sorry i wrote that incorrect
How a lovely captivatin voice !!! Live it as been a singer i appreciate the content of ur insight u do really an excellent job keep it up sir 💞💞💞
Good story to go bed thank you darkness
The walking tree was trying to verbally communicate.
I loved that one
Treebeard went on vacation to Appalachia
I wanna watch some anime. What's your favorite?
Inuyasha! It’s absolutely perfect!
Mushishi
One piece
Hunter x Hunter is a must watch.
The Dragon Prince is very good, it has the spirit of ATLA and some truly dark themes, new seasons are currently being worked on but there are 3 that you can watch at the moment
I live in southwest VA in the Appalachian mountains (new river valley) and there’s definitely something off about these mountains.
I've been driving down the river road very creepy. I live 12 miles from there..
I’ve felt that dread consume me once. I couldn’t shake it off. But I actually fell asleep that night.
This about my home. It’s a familiar feeling on few of them
Thank you for actually pronouncing Appalachian correctly 💙💛
The story of the forest ranger Mayer_Bear which he described as finding something similar in dutch folklore "die takman" or "Takkenman"... According to the internet (yea, quite the trusting source) Takkenman seems to be a modern folklore created on the forum in 2009.
However, my culture stems from Dutch, and Nordic cultures and as kids when we were naughty my parents used to scare us with "Takirr" (Pronounced Tak~e~RR) which in my language sounds like it could be related to this folklore and with very similar descriptions. Strangely enough this was carried down by my great great grandparents which would make this lore at least 130 years older than 2009.
Even though I'm not a believer in these supernatural creatures I do find the lore SUPER interesting.
I've seen the stick creature, and for some reason that wood burning smell has always disturbed me. it's so strange that I bookmarked this page.
Me and another officer saw something extremely similar to the first story in Dublin, VA. Not sure if the story is true or not but we didn’t do a perimeter at night for a long time.
Really like the Appalachian stories.
I kinda zoned out so I had to rewind to make sure I wasn’t mishearing you saying “👹 daddies 👹” in a low voice bc it caught me off guard lmao
I live near the Blue Ridge mountains. There seem to be sightings of mountain lions and red coyotes, both of which aren't "seen" anymore, but I know of no cryptid sightings.
I know of a lot of cryptid sightings here in my area
I've heard of red coyotes being spotted in the matoaca/pocahontas state park area of virginia, but it's been years since the last one was reportedly seen
To me it sounds more like a demonic spirit it could have been a shapeshifter
If you knew the area tht is more plausible theory then anything I’ve ever heard on this yet honestly
I moved to Blairsville from Atlanta last July (my Mother grew up here). When I first moved, my neighbor prayed a hedge of protection over my property. One morning before dawn I saw a feline creature sitting at the edge of the property, staring at me. It was backlit so I couldn’t see it’s features. But it definitely was not any natural creature. It’s head was largely out of proportion to its body. I always thought it was demonic. It would not come over my property line.
Do you have a video of multiple abandoned amusement park stories?
I hiked the priest in 2002, I still remember how brutal it was. If you have a problem up there, you’re on your own
Exactly. That added to my fear of being on the top of the priest with nowhere to run
Cool stories
"he called and told us his yard was full of DADDYS." Is what i heard and I'm trying not to laugh :D! But then it was cleared up as deceased Animals and now i'm sad...
Funnily enough, that's what it says in the auto captions too LOL
Same😅
The 🌳 encounter sure is the creepiest ☝😬
You know I really wanted to go hiking and camping on the trail... now I'm afraid to leave my house at night... thanks Darkness.
Maybe, you weren't meant to go....
Cities and towns are still much more dangerous. It's the unfamiliar that people most fear.
There's a truism in psychology that goes like this:
That which you most need is found where you least want to look.
Only at night? Me I'm homebound...lol
I'd like to hear about encounters with The Watermelon Heads. When I first got into finding cryptids storys I found 2 videos about them. Would love to hear if there have been any true encounters with them.
Darkness you are the best.
My husband has some really scary true stories fir his meny hinting trios in the Appalachian mountains where we live in virginia
Please share one of your stories..
Damb , could you do some law enforcement or military horror stories it would be interesting to hear what odd things they’ve seen
My birthday is two weeks from today. Its my girls b-day today and im trying to talk her into letting me order the "this world is a strange one" hoodie in red. Im sure it will only be a matter of time till im rockin it
I wouldn't wear it. Get a more positive, message one.
can you do some Aussie cryptid story's plzplzplz
Hell yeah
Yes!
I loved that white fox story, and the tree man was very unusual and bizzare. But come on, he could have told what he saw before quitting....humans are so good at not sharing strange experiences.
Hi Mr Darkness!!!
I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyway... 😬 I believe every story. I wouldn’t even go into the Forrest and I’ve not seen anything like this. If I did, I honestly think I’d die of sheer terror there and then ! Terrifying!
4:53 Ah yes, turning off the music to not hear but see better
Hey Darkness, can you do Glitches in the matrix type stories?
The Appalachian Mountains have everything, possibly anything that might not yet be known to man, that and the people that live near or around the areas. They have stories that will turn you pale. I also know a few people that have hiked it, and weird things have happened.
I have lived and gone to school in the new river valley.
