I have an accurate story of a call at night that scared the shit out of me and my mom so here it goes: I was asleep when I awoke to my mom urgently waking me to notify me that someone had just called to her from our gate which was not visible from our porch due to some trees and the winding of the driveway, anyway when I awoke I instinctively told her to arm herself and I did the same with a glock. Shortly after this I went outside and made sure to check the perimeters, scanning around and looking for said person/thing. After I had gotten done, I went back to the front to fire a warning shot into the ground, a little after this we hear another “hey!” similar to the one my mom had heard before. I then told the voice that they should get the fuck out of there and that we were not going to help them in anyway. I suppose that worked since the perpetrator ended up not doing anything else to us that night. More context to the story- we live in the boonies, about 1 mile from the next neighbor, on a dirt road, and about 10 miles from town. This was chilling only due to the fact that we know that people that are out late on our road are most likely doing something they should not be doing (due to the fact that not many people live on this road). Hope this creeps you out a little bit because it definitely activated my fight or flight when it happened.
If you are already off the trail,just keep going. Never backtrack, always choose a different path. 100% factual though, Appalachia is a different kind of place, spend some time out away from people and you'll see for yourself
My favorite childhood gun. I grew up in Appalachia and not easily spooked having said that those woods are very old and at times seem less than inviting. I have no clue what this guy is referring too. I’ve seen the shadows he speaks of
If you hear something, no you didn't. If someone says your name, no they didn't. If you saw something, no you didn't. You should never be alone. And if you think you are, you aren't. Always trust a person from the Appalachians when they say these are rules you live by in the mountains. And one last rule, trust nature, trust your gut.
I have a wendigo story from the Appalachian mountains in Virginia! I was probably about 5-6 years old, it's dark at this point and I'm standing around a fire pit when I got up to wander around and find sticks/rocks, whatever made my little heart happy lol. All of a sudden I heard a strangely familiar voice calling me from the dark woods, behind my great grandpa's shed. It sounded like my mother, who was NOT in my life at this point, so naturally, I went running to see her! Then I heard my great grandfather frantically YELL my name, and told me to get my ass on the porch which was 80 feet away or so. As soon as I started walking I heard and felt a breathy, low pitched, gravely growl right behind me. I was too afraid to turn around, but I'm damn sure there was a wendigo behind me!! I feel so lucky to be alive honestly! I grew up hearing and reading stories about those woods, that I was NEVER allowed to enter. I figured it was just because of the snakes, poisonous plants, etc. Now I know how many people went missing in those woods or had terrifying experiences!!
How can you claim it was anything when you couldn’t even turn around to get a glimpse? Coulda been your imagination too coulda been a Bigfoot a cat a dog man a flying turd anything
I’m a city suburbs girl married to a country boy from Appalachian mountains. Whenever I visit there, it’s so beautiful just like a different world. What saddens me is that the people are so poor there and they have been exploited by big mining companies for generations. The poverty is heartbreaking. I know that the city folks look down on these people, but I find them to be kind and welcoming and just so genuine.
im from eastern tn/ky/va region of the appalachian mountains Never turn around in the woods- Never look back or even give credence to what you hear calling you- fuckin run run as fast as you can to the light of home. I’ve even had ones call- “mom” “mommaaa” sounding just like my kids but knowing my kids aren’t with me
I remember as a kid, going outside at night to get something from the car. I never heard or seen anything, but felt an evil presence, and if I stopped something was going to grab me, especially going up the steps (12 steps) my legs got so weak they barely held me up. But I didn't stop and I didn't look back until I got inside.
I’ve grown up in the Appalachian Mountains, constantly in the woods hiking, hunting, fishing all kinds of stuff day and night. I’ve heard about his stuff all my life but have yet to have any kind of encounter like this stuff. Maybe I’m just lucky 🤷♂️
Nah you’re just sane and not prone to flights of fancy or overactive imagination 😂 I live in the middle of nowhere Appalachia and have never had problems outside of animals, funny to see how long the old stories hang around though
When I lived in Georgia and was like 7yrs old my best friend and I would hear voices calling our names from the woods. We knew to run. It was usually close to being dark outside also. Very scary!
There are several variations of the “shadow beings”. Another I like to call “the shimmers” are around the size of a person, and are translucent, but they distort the air around them, like heat waves when you’re looking over a really hot surface. Whatever they are, whether they look like shadows, shimmers, smoke, etc., I think they are some kind of being that lives in remote wilderness that hunts people who are vulnerable in the moment. Some say it’s responsible for the “missing 411” cases that are catalogued by David Paulides. Say what you will about Paulides, but this is an issue he’s brought tremendous attention to, and has been happening long before he started writing about it.
I've seen it. I had a dog that turned out to be half wolf, when I saw it I froze, my other dogs ran away crying, my wolf dog took my hand in his mouth and walked me to the house.
good tips to follow 1-never explore the woods at night; only flee if you have to and if you have to then be as prepared as possible 2-look everywhere you step, for you might step on a copperhead 3-never whistle in the woods; hungry creatures can find you easily 4-always bring a flashlight; you never know if you will end up stranded in these woods or not 5-always have a weapon, no matter what weapon it is, keep one with you at all times 5-be careful with who you interact; I heard rumors about cannibals here 6-be quiet, and listen, for someone or something could be stalking you. 7-bring supplies for stuff like campfires, tents, etc. 8- always be with at least one buddy you know in the woods 9-if you get lost, be extremely careful and know where you are at, since the mountains have bad wifi signals
Rules 1 & 6 I'd have to debate. Rule 1 is true is true if you dont have a flashlight, aside from that there isnt any more danger at night than there is during the day. Rule 6 is horrible advice in bear country, you want them to know you're in the area, the last thing you want to do is make the bear think you're sneaking up on it. Edit: Also rule 9... Do I need to point out whats wrong with it?
I would suspect that spiritual beings can work around our senses. Even deaf people can hear voices in their heads (without being metnally ill). And blind people can have visions.
Not in the Appalachia, but here in the Rockie Mountains, we would go fishing at 11 Mile Lake in Colorado and would sleep on the bank of the lake. We'd stay up at night and night fish but more than a couple times once we would start dozing off I would here something say my name right in my ear and would instantly wake up to nothjng around us and no one else awake. It was always in a womans voice when I heard it.
It only happened to me once, and I recognized one's of my aunts voice. She died that night, even though dozens miles away from where I was living, at the time.
I hear my mom say my name sometimes right when I’m dozing off and that’s when I’m totally safe here in the house. That’s totally normal. And my mom is fine she’s not a ghost lol
@@Bamazon1990This used to happen to me a lot when my mom was living, and it was always kind of comforting to me. After she passed it stopped happening! But I don't think I'd be upset if it happened again though.
I was camping along a stream in a holler near my home. I would go down and fish at night and only one time had I heard my name called. I had gotten into my bivy and fell asleep. Around 3 am I had to take a p. My small fire was out so I turned on the red light feature on my head lamp and went to go when I heard my name called. It was mimicking a recent girlfriend and we had broken up. I knew immediately it wasn't her. I turned off the light and made it back to my bivy. It called out again. This time a bit closer. I already knew the rule. I heard some rustling but I kept quiet. I had about 3 hours or so before sun up. It was the longest stretch of time before the sky began to brighten. As soon as I could see clearly I packed up and hiked out. While I still to this day hike and fish that holler, I do not go to that spot after sunset.
In indian culture if here things calling your name and you look around for it, you have basically give it a signal you acknowledge it and things latch on to you. Also most of things are commonly near water. Take it as is, I haven't run into this things in the woods but once in a while when I am home alone I hear my name and ignore it or imagination is faulty.
His name is Aman Singh. What do you think? Anyways I'm also an Indian from India but idk what this guy's saying trying to represent India. @@sycamoreresident7295
@@ItsEzraRoan Nah, indigenous Americans. They've been living and dying here far longer than anyone else, and the land remembers that. You gotta be careful near river water cause that's michi-pichew or heent-sabit territory and make sure to get the hell out of dodge if you hear an owl during winter cause contrary to popular belief, wendigo are more owl than deer.
You couldn’t be more wrong it’s hilarious. Spend enough time out there. And I mean enough. Eventually things can happen/something will happen. For some more than others. I’ve had my fair share. Hope you get to experience it atleast once!
As a definite human Appalachian resident, I can deny this. It is perfectly safe to turn around, in fact, a human clown will be there to entertain you had have fun and give out candy. Again, I am human.
I live in NC and my family owns a property in the mountains near Saura Town. The property originally belonged to a family in the early 1900's or late 1890's. The family died off one by one, the daughter burned in a campfire, the moter died from a heart attack, qnd the father died from falling off a very steep ledge behind pond. The area used to be an Indian camp where a battle happened because the chief's daughter was kidnapped. I didn't realize that folktale of Appalachia was true until i heard whispers in a language i didn't know coming from the bottom of slopes. I could tell i was being watchrd by something. Me and my grandfather went hiking to post property signs and we came to this old Indian graveyard, which was where the family was buried. I saw a humanoid thing fucking crawl from one tree to a bush on top a cliff and heard an orchestra of owls. Another time i saw things in the forest was when i went hiking and camping with a summer camp group in the Uwarrie*? Park when i set up a hammock in front of a very steep slope that probably went up maybe 80-150 feet and i saw things move during sundown.
Rifle AND pistol is a bit overkill and heavy. But, yeah, same here. I'm always with my pistol with spare mags or a rifle/shotgun. Anyway, bullets and buckshot ain't much against the supernatural....
I am also christian but I cant stant the ignorance of some people thinking Jesus will save you from every entity that resides somewhere you were warned about. Everyone can fall for the tricks of demonic activity or ancient spirits and thats why we are warned not to f around.
Bruh I just found out that the Appalachian mountains runs through my whole county and I live in the woods and have been outside so much and at first I wasn’t scared cause I thought I didn’t live along the mountains but after I found out now I am
I regret watching these horror stories for 2 yrs. My lower body is paralyzed rn and i dont wanna move cuz i hear whispers along with my name in a low voice 😭😭😭 ITS NIGHT TIME
Turn around and declare in a loud and stern voice, "Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that. . .?"
From West Virginia here for once I'd love to hear someone that's not from Appalachia pronounce it like we say it appa-latcha or like the great author Verna mae slone who wrote ( what my heart wants to tell) who was from across the border in Kentucky wrote in that book say it like im gonna throw an apple atcha 😂,not the horse shit that Yankees say they say appa-lay-cha..so annoying...that would be like us sayin' no yorka instead of the obvious New York ( bad example) but mountain folks know what im sayin'!!!
Holy fuck lmao. I spent weeks hiking and camping through the Appalachians since my early 20s...now 40 and never once has anything people talk about happed lolll
As an Appalachian I’ve made my own rules to follow. Rule number 1- when entering Appalachian, if you feel the need to enter the woods bring an Appalachian (preferably an old timer) Rule number 2- follow the 8 rules of Appalachian Rule number 3- don’t forget the rules 1 and 2
Be me. In the Appalachian mountains. Get hurt. Call for help. Call out for my friend/family to help. They ignore me because of some nonsense folklore and out of date traditions. Die. "He WaS kIlLeD bY a SkIn WaLkeR." Become another rumor to fill the ignorance of the supernatural. Mfw.
@@MoldycheeseJr true tho, just like I’m from Mississippi and no one believes it when they hear me cause I don’t sound like the country bumpkin that they expect lol
Rules is don't ya dare whitlse back. Don't ya dare talk back. Aint nuttin dare. Its youre imagination ol'son. But... DON'T YA DARE WHISTLE BACK. A whistle back nah is a sentence left for your blood to make a period on the page of "ol' creat' nah... gawwn head en feedem nah. He Ungree
So, 'tis the season, right? I listened to some stories about various Appalachian boogeymen. The main rules seem to be "if you hear a voice in the woods, don't answer", "if you hear footsteps behind you, don't turn around", "If you hear someone speak your name in the woods, no you didn't". Appalachian spooky amazing stories. But I'd like to submit this for eastern Oregon and Washington, something FAR scarier in my opinion ..... I've heard the same rules in some areas of Oregon, always those rules are regarding the mountainous areas of our great state. Not talking about "bigfoot". Here in East Oregon, bigfoot isn't a large part of our mythology. But that "thing" that you don't turn around to, the THING you don't run away from, that THING that cries like a distressed screaming baby during the night in the forest?? I've heard it twice. Once at night when I couldn't see it and that baby screaming sent chills up my spine during the dark part of the night in the deep woods. That baby screech when there's no moon, no light, runs right up your spine. Years later I saw one of THEM in broad daylight, and I heard it scream and mewl like a dying baby, and it made my skin crawl. ....Ignore it, ignore the screaming of that "infant", get to shelter and if you have a gun, have it loaded and ready. This predator knows how to "speak" to you, it knows human frailty, it waits with claws and fangs. It speaks the language of human weakness. And for that, it should be feared most among all the monsters of the night.
Yeah if you think you see what looks a little bit like a raccoon or a little bit like an owl but completely indistinguishable as either peeking out from around the side of a tree about 9-12 feet up. Just keep your eyes on it as you pass it. I lived in the forests of west virginia for 6 months. I worked a swing shift job at the time. So sometimes I was up at night for long periods at camp or even taking short hikes. Well yeah one night, I thought I saw something on this tree. Had my really good magnifyable flashlight on me zoomed it on the tree and it slipped behind the tree. I had to go that direction on my meaningless hike haha so I just summed it up as an animal. Well I kept my flashlight on the tree as I passed it and it was 15 feet off trail. No sooner than I passed the tree 5 feet I saw it tracking me from behind the same tree. Idk how to describe it honestly. I was armed, I have a very respectable nature with the woods and I feel like those spirits protect the woods so I wasnt scared. One I dont hear many people mention anymore tho is dont be out in the woods alone at 3am. It really is the witching hour. Cant say Ive noticed any correlation of weirdness with full moons but the full moon definitely adds ambiance if you are out at 3am.
I like to imagine and play along to legends, but can we have some actual footage of this phenomenon please. Can we document this and properly analyze it in order to make it real? I can’t wait to go to these mountains and whistle myself just to see that nothing will happen.
Don't want to burst the bubble but as someone who lives there this whole video is like a fairytale, fun stories to imagine but don't go running around thinking theres elves and dwarves
I have video taken on a iPhone in the middle of nowhere, miles from civilization of a black flash from right to left while I was filming the Sunrise. Looks like a glitch yet never happened before or since. Unaka mountain ( Beauty Spot ) Tennessee/ N.C. Border

I had gotten into my bivy and fell asleep. Around 3 am I had to take a p. My small fire was out so I turned on the red light feature on my head lamp and went to go when I heard my name called. It was mimicking a recent girlfriend and we had broken up. I knew immediately it wasn't her. I turned off the light and made it back to my bivy. It called out again. This time a bit closer. I already knew the rule. I heard some rustling but I kept quiet. I had about 3 hours or so before sun up. It was the longest stretch of time before the sky began to brighten. As soon as I could see clearly I packed up and hiked out. While I still to this day hike and fish that holler, I do not go to that spot after sunset.
They must have some good drugs in Appalachia
@@RazPerignongo and stay there at night 🤨
What everyone is not being told is “ if you talk about haints you invite them into your life” good luck
I talk about God, that how I invited good spirits
In indian culture if here things calling your name and you look around for it, you have basically give it a signal you acknowledge it and things latch on to you. Also most of things are commonly near water.
Take it as is, I haven't run into this things in the woods but once in a while when I am home alone I hear my name and ignore it or imagination is faulty.
Wich Indian? South Asian or North American?
His name is Aman Singh. What do you think? Anyways I'm also an Indian from India but idk what this guy's saying trying to represent India. @@sycamoreresident7295
You talking East Indians? They have that happen to them?
@@ItsEzraRoan Nah, indigenous Americans. They've been living and dying here far longer than anyone else, and the land remembers that. You gotta be careful near river water cause that's michi-pichew or heent-sabit territory and make sure to get the hell out of dodge if you hear an owl during winter cause contrary to popular belief, wendigo are more owl than deer.
Out of topic, but is there anybody who ever hear ur name being called by your mother or dad at house, but turn out your parents not home ?
the same rules apply when walking through the ghetto if you don't live there 😂
The shadow beings. I heard many a stories from my elders about these beings. Even my dad has had experiences seeing them.
In India we believe don't turn wen someone asks things like cigarette food or offerings. Specially on highway.
Why?
Just go camp and realize all these folklores are your own mind playing tricks on you
Or campfire stories or just stories from crazy ppl lol.
Did you realize it or did you come to those conclusions. Cause we dont really know
Dont listen to this guy he is gonna get you killed i have seen it enough already
True, anything that is out to kill you wont make a sound, so really you are in the most danger when you think you are the most safe.
You couldn’t be more wrong it’s hilarious. Spend enough time out there. And I mean enough. Eventually things can happen/something will happen. For some more than others. I’ve had my fair share. Hope you get to experience it atleast once!
What if I have a shotgun
Judgement day
Coat pellets with white ash paste, burn and bury the body
Good luck shooting a shadow
Good luck shooting absolutely nothing
@@experienceeditsit’ll make you feel better, so might as well.
This was a creature in the bonus episodes of Gravity Falls.
As a definite human Appalachian resident, I can deny this. It is perfectly safe to turn around, in fact, a human clown will be there to entertain you had have fun and give out candy. Again, I am human.
I live in NC and my family owns a property in the mountains near Saura Town. The property originally belonged to a family in the early 1900's or late 1890's. The family died off one by one, the daughter burned in a campfire, the moter died from a heart attack, qnd the father died from falling off a very steep ledge behind pond. The area used to be an Indian camp where a battle happened because the chief's daughter was kidnapped.
I didn't realize that folktale of Appalachia was true until i heard whispers in a language i didn't know coming from the bottom of slopes. I could tell i was being watchrd by something.
Me and my grandfather went hiking to post property signs and we came to this old Indian graveyard, which was where the family was buried. I saw a humanoid thing fucking crawl from one tree to a bush on top a cliff and heard an orchestra of owls.
Another time i saw things in the forest was when i went hiking and camping with a summer camp group in the Uwarrie*? Park when i set up a hammock in front of a very steep slope that probably went up maybe 80-150 feet and i saw things move during sundown.
Sounds similar to the hoods of Chicago
This advice can and should be followed for EVERYWHERE! 😂 😅
If you are ever lost in the woods and people show up hollering your name just run very very fast deeper and deeper into the woods.
🤣🤣🤣
I've witnessed this with other people off the Appalachian trail
How about, just don’t go into the Appalachian Mountains? 🤷🏽♀️ hearing all these stories…Thats what makes the most sense to me…
This is why I go with at least with a rifle and pistol every time I go to the woods
Rifle AND pistol is a bit overkill and heavy. But, yeah, same here. I'm always with my pistol with spare mags or a rifle/shotgun.
Anyway, bullets and buckshot ain't much against the supernatural....
It’s called a hide behind. It hates the smell of moonshine
Is the Windygo of the Allegheny an Appalachian mountains
Pretty sure the wendigo is mainly in the northern areas toward the Great Lakes. In Appalachia it’s more feral people.
What if it was a hallucinogenic reaction to different species of mushroom spores within the Forrest air 😮.
While that could be possible in certain cases. It does not explain all possibilities. Far to many weird events to sum it all up to mushroom spores.
I believe it my dad an his brothers had some wild hunting story’s from up In VA
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
It's called a hidebehind, not a lookbehind
it’s actually smart even if you don’t believe in that type of shit if you here a noise at night in the woods don’t investigate it
Jesus walks with me so I’m good
I am also christian but I cant stant the ignorance of some people thinking Jesus will save you from every entity that resides somewhere you were warned about. Everyone can fall for the tricks of demonic activity or ancient spirits and thats why we are warned not to f around.
Bruh I just found out that the Appalachian mountains runs through my whole county and I live in the woods and have been outside so much and at first I wasn’t scared cause I thought I didn’t live along the mountains but after I found out now I am
On the map my house loox like endless green fields and woods.just cos lot of this place has been farmed is it still considered the woods??
I regret watching these horror stories for 2 yrs. My lower body is paralyzed rn and i dont wanna move cuz i hear whispers along with my name in a low voice 😭😭😭
ITS NIGHT TIME
Hidebehinds hate the smell of moonshine. Other strong liquors might have similar warding effect
Really? That’s interesting. I would think it would have the opposite effect?
Turn around and declare in a loud and stern voice, "Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that. . .?"
😂😂😂 👌
From West Virginia here for once I'd love to hear someone that's not from Appalachia pronounce it like we say it appa-latcha or like the great author Verna mae slone who wrote ( what my heart wants to tell) who was from across the border in Kentucky wrote in that book say it like im gonna throw an apple atcha 😂,not the horse shit that Yankees say they say appa-lay-cha..so annoying...that would be like us sayin' no yorka instead of the obvious New York ( bad example) but mountain folks know what im sayin'!!!
Holy fuck lmao. I spent weeks hiking and camping through the Appalachians since my early 20s...now 40 and never once has anything people talk about happed lolll
As an Appalachian I’ve made my own rules to follow.
Rule number 1- when entering Appalachian, if you feel the need to enter the woods bring an Appalachian (preferably an old timer)
Rule number 2- follow the 8 rules of Appalachian
Rule number 3- don’t forget the rules 1 and 2
Sounds like a friendly neighborhood Bigfoot! If they watch you when you're outside talking to other people they'd know your name.
Yall are all doped out beyond belief 🤣🤣🤣 my god
This guy watch too many episodes of "Mountain Monsters"
Appalachian mountains are older than any others in the United States. That's all I have to say about that.
Everyone in Appalachia knows the rules 😆😂 Been here 42 years, all in the woods. This is raw stupidity
Giants are real too, nephilim
It's called a skinwalker😮😮
peek a boos
is what we called them
💯
That has actually happened to me before
Hey come here whisler 💥 💥 💥
If you think you saw something, no you didn't.
Yeah right. I’m looking. 100%.
Be me.
In the Appalachian mountains.
Get hurt.
Call for help.
Call out for my friend/family to help.
They ignore me because of some nonsense folklore and out of date traditions.
Die.
"He WaS kIlLeD bY a SkIn WaLkeR."
Become another rumor to fill the ignorance of the supernatural.
Mfw.
Sounds like a Hidebehind in ireland
I whistle I turn around and I yell back,
hear my name I turn around with my 8 Guage shotgun aiming at the direction and be like EEEEYUP 🫡
Lived here my whole life never once have i heard of this or happent to anyone in my family my paw paw just said hes.mver heard of this either 😂
So what happens if you hear it then start jogging backwards? Will it become cross? Lol what if we built a large wooden badger
Where is this guy from. He don't exactly sound like Appalachian people.
Prolly isn’t, just spreading ol campfire stories or sum
You know Appalachia covers a ton of different areas of a ton of different states? It’s not just backwoods people?
There’s appalachians all the way up to western mass. No need for an accent
@@MoldycheeseJr true tho, just like I’m from Mississippi and no one believes it when they hear me cause I don’t sound like the country bumpkin that they expect lol
@@MrNobody91 haha believe me I’m from North Carolina and people are shocked
Rules is don't ya dare whitlse back. Don't ya dare talk back. Aint nuttin dare. Its youre imagination ol'son. But... DON'T YA DARE WHISTLE BACK. A whistle back nah is a sentence left for your blood to make a period on the page of "ol' creat' nah... gawwn head en feedem nah. He Ungree
Y’all I’ve lived in these Appalachian mountains, my entire life and haven’t seen a Dagon thing. I don’t think they like me.
Same, I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’m too ugly or I smell bad because they never seem to want to talk to me, very weird 😅
I think I would strap a camera to my back, then I could see if I caught something following me.
It’s called the Bracken from Lethal Company
So, 'tis the season, right?
I listened to some stories about various Appalachian boogeymen. The main rules seem to be "if you hear a voice in the woods, don't answer", "if you hear footsteps behind you, don't turn around", "If you hear someone speak your name in the woods, no you didn't".
Appalachian spooky amazing stories.
But I'd like to submit this for eastern Oregon and Washington, something FAR scarier in my opinion .....
I've heard the same rules in some areas of Oregon, always those rules are regarding the mountainous areas of our great state.
Not talking about "bigfoot". Here in East Oregon, bigfoot isn't a large part of our mythology.
But that "thing" that you don't turn around to, the THING you don't run away from, that THING that cries like a distressed screaming baby during the night in the forest??
I've heard it twice.
Once at night when I couldn't see it and that baby screaming sent chills up my spine during the dark part of the night in the deep woods. That baby screech when there's no moon, no light, runs right up your spine.
Years later I saw one of THEM in broad daylight, and I heard it scream and mewl like a dying baby, and it made my skin crawl.
....Ignore it, ignore the screaming of that "infant", get to shelter and if you have a gun, have it loaded and ready.
This predator knows how to "speak" to you, it knows human frailty, it waits with claws and fangs.
It speaks the language of human weakness. And for that, it should be feared most among all the monsters of the night.
Yeah if you think you see what looks a little bit like a raccoon or a little bit like an owl but completely indistinguishable as either peeking out from around the side of a tree about 9-12 feet up. Just keep your eyes on it as you pass it. I lived in the forests of west virginia for 6 months. I worked a swing shift job at the time. So sometimes I was up at night for long periods at camp or even taking short hikes. Well yeah one night, I thought I saw something on this tree. Had my really good magnifyable flashlight on me zoomed it on the tree and it slipped behind the tree. I had to go that direction on my meaningless hike haha so I just summed it up as an animal. Well I kept my flashlight on the tree as I passed it and it was 15 feet off trail. No sooner than I passed the tree 5 feet I saw it tracking me from behind the same tree. Idk how to describe it honestly. I was armed, I have a very respectable nature with the woods and I feel like those spirits protect the woods so I wasnt scared. One I dont hear many people mention anymore tho is dont be out in the woods alone at 3am. It really is the witching hour. Cant say Ive noticed any correlation of weirdness with full moons but the full moon definitely adds ambiance if you are out at 3am.
I've seen this no way to this day I didn't know what it was until I saw this video
See, I always look around just for safety sake...how does that work..? So scary.
Is this an episode I can watch? I’m struggling to find it
I like to imagine and play along to legends, but can we have some actual footage of this phenomenon please. Can we document this and properly analyze it in order to make it real? I can’t wait to go to these mountains and whistle myself just to see that nothing will happen.
Don't want to burst the bubble but as someone who lives there this whole video is like a fairytale, fun stories to imagine but don't go running around thinking theres elves and dwarves
It gon have to do worse than call my name. Bitch I got hallucinations calling my name all the time
I have video taken on a iPhone in the middle of nowhere, miles from civilization of a black flash from right to left while I was filming the Sunrise. Looks like a glitch yet never happened before or since. Unaka mountain ( Beauty Spot ) Tennessee/ N.C. Border
Wow! You should send it in to us:) ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com

That's a Bob cat it screams like a woman and cries like a baby .I promise it's a bobcat I grew up hearing it and I studied it and I found out it's the noise a Bob cat makes
“It speaks the language of human weakness” great quote
@@debbiebowman1830yes this is true you can look up the sound
Lmao dude you need to be writing in Hollywood, make some great horror flicks for us with this type of writing 😂
Is it kind of like the thing from gravitty falls
All these years and no video proof
Yes it’s true
What is it?
@@sylvia7777 figment of their imagination
@@sylvia7777 dont listen to this weak minded being its true there are some creepy crap in the mountains like creatures
Haven't we all watched the 'horror movies' yet in 2024?!?!? ANYTHING THAT IS NOT 'USUAL', take a deep breath and retrace wherever... Ha
He doesn't sound like any Appalachian I know.
What entity is it 🤔
What is this ‘it’ hes talking about? Like what do you see
