If you do not think the Appalachian mountains are wilderness, just remember an entire branch of the Cherokee nation hid there for the better part of a century without being found.
@@camelnut7014 The Eastern Cherokee Tribe is not hiding anymore and hasn't for well over a hundred years. To avoid the "Trail Of Tears" removal by the psychopath Andrew Jackson's forced removal, they hid in the deepest parts of the Smoky Mts. By the time they were "found" in the late 19th century, the risk of being removed had passed. You can visit them now. Are some of their members feral? IDK
A couple decades ago, I was a case manager for schizophrenics. One of my clients told me about his childhood of abuse. His father was a violent alcoholic. So, when his father came home at night, he and his brothers would run out to the Forrest to hide… they would spend the whole night outside, even in the cold and rain. They often went days without food, did not go to school, and felt more comfortable in the wild than around people. They were often ill-clothed, or walked around naked. He was discovered at the age of 15, and placed into foster care. He had minimal reading skills, and was eventually allowed to live in his own apartment. He didn’t bathe, or manage garbage… and, only had a television and a reclining chair, that he slept in. His mind could not reconcile reality, and he didn’t know what happened to his brothers or parents.
As if being labelled a schizophrenic wasn't enough. Stories like these lead me to believe death is a lot better than being a man. What a cursed existence. I doubt he ever received enough compassion compared to unbridled disgust and contempt.
Over 15 years ago in Alabama, I asked my grandmother who grew up in Double Springs out where Corridor X is/was, about bigfoot. She said she had never heard or seen anything like that, but she did tell me about the feral people. So, if she heard about them as a child, they must have been out there for centuries, who are they? My grandmother said they were War deserters, escaped criminals, NA that escaped the Trail of Tears, runaway slaves, those that couldn't find a job during the Depression, and abandoned children (Down's syndrome or autistic children) over the centuries. They all fled for various reasons into the Appalachian Mountains or were left there. It boggles the mind.
I haven't been getting notifications for your videos so I checked myself. Glad to see new videos and glad to see that your channel is growing. Good things happen to good people!
Great video man. Your format and style of narration is very refreshing compared to other channels that cover these types of stories. I've lived in Appalachia my whole life and it's no joke. Even in populated areas close to main roads you're liable to run into some wild unexplainable stuff. Going way out into the woods off the beaten path without being armed is an absolute no-no.
Thanks, wanted to try some shorts. Gotta figure out the thumbnail issues with them though, can’t upload one. Wanted to toss a couple compilations out as well while I got over the bug the kids brought home from school. New video will be coming by the end of the week!
Exactly why I refer to it as “Hellmart” whenever I do have to go there. Lol. I go out of my way to NOT shop there if I can help it, but when I do, I make sure to get in, keep my head down, focused on the task at hand, and getting checked out as fast as possible. Always feel the need for a hot shower after leaving there. 😂
I went to college in Kentucky and have experienced many weird people out in the woods. This was back in the 90s so no cell phone videos but people stalking us in the woods in Kentucky
10 or 11 feral people! Holy shit man that is insane. Also this is exactly why I make sure I always am facing forward, never having to back up anywhere. You've got to be able to get out of whatever situation your in quickly.
@@justanamerican9024 I thought the same thing when I first read the email. I LOVE zombies! Years ago when I was obsessed with walking dead I did a zombie story in a “blog” format. I eventually strayed away from it because it was super time consuming trying to keep up with it. My wife told me I should do a “narration” channel for that story, but I think that would be bitting off way more than I could chew. When I film for DarkWilderness, by the time I’m done editing and such it’s usually like 3-4AM because I can only do it when the kids are sleeping or if I use a vacation day from my day job to do it (which is what I did the last 2 Fridays…. Gotta stop that or I’ll burn through em all only got 3 1/2 weeks left now). We’ll see though, maybe someday….
@@darkwilderness2392 You are a fine story teller. You keep on track, that is a challenge not all story tellers can overcome. I could not get my head around the Zombie crazy until recently. Now, when I see so many people following really questionable leaders and believing ridiculous conspiracy theories I suddenly got it. We are watching a "Zombie" takeover in real life! We take for granted that people will reason things out all the time, but the fact is, if they get isolated, whether intellectually or physically, they can take on antisocial attributes. I could see people who have been traumatized or abandoned at a young age or mentally ill (or a combination of the above) could become feral. Thank you for your efforts, I am a writer and know how hard it is to do everything life demands and still find time to peruse your art. Keep up the good work, your readers/viewers appreciate it!
He had a 4000 lb bullet. Lay on the horn and plow through or over them. No way in hell 10 people are going to stop an F 150 at 40-50 mph. They would have been better off in Paris 😂😂😂
I grew up in a hollow in Madison, NC. When I say hollow, I mean we had to walk to get our mail to the rural route road that was about a mile away. Even having grown up there, my mamaw always told me to keep away from the "woods or mountain folk."" It was a stern warning that I heeded.
I found this channel by accident. My life could not be more different than yours. As i live in a City in the north of England, i dont hike, camp and i certainly dont hunt. If i had a firearm i would probably shoot myself with it out of terror. But I'm fasinated with these stories ...i love them. I just have to subscribe....👍
It's all what you're used to. Firearms are a responsibility that has to be taken seriously. If one is purchased and used, you have a responsibility to understand it's functions and become practiced. It's just a tool. When on my mtn. property in N GA, I'm pretty much always carrying. You get used to it. When it gets dark in the So. Appalachians, it gets DARK. There is stuff out there.
Man, I have been down the Bigfoot/dogman rabbit hole. I had never heard of feral people and have listened to 3 of your videos on them. So creepy. Great videos.
@@darkwilderness2392 yes I wish you did also !Biden is trying very hard to take our rights away also. I grew up in Massachusetts for 50 years ,very anti gun and moved to Mississippi where everyone has a gun and guess what there is never issues here. Everyone respects the fact that people can defend themselves.
@@bentleydonovan4608 YUP!! We cant even own handguns any more.... worst part is unless its hunting season you cant really even carry a shotgun or a rifle or you will get charged with poaching.... so stupid.
I, too, carry a bear banger. It's made by Winchester, and it has staggered "bangers" of fragmenting slugs and 00 buckshot. There's no way I'll ever camp or go hiking in a national park without my firearm. Recently, I have purchased 12 gauge trip alarms and fashioned makeshift barrels. I plan on putting cayenne pepper loads, and stinger(tiny rubber pellets) loads in them so if something gets to our group without 4-6 of us all armed, ranging from 7.62, 5.56, 12 gauge,. 45, .9mm and those trip alarms, we just had it coming
I've dine many road trips but never stay off track, friends did and found their camper surrounded in NC Appalachian area, scariest moment for them ever!!! They said they'd never pull off in random area again..these ppl came out of nowhere!
I’ve never been down that way, but spent a few nights stuck on random logging trails with my old Jeep years ago. Didn’t have an experience like that but heard some pretty crazy sounds that were nothing like anything I’ve heard before, and I spend a lot of time in the woods hunting, back country camping/fishing. I don’t think I would ever willingly set up camp on a trail like that to be honest.
Some locals here have stories of paramilitary groups isolating certain pockets of the Smokeys and laying siege to the area. Begs the question of the manner of enemy that summoned such a response.
As more and more people become homeless, the numbers of deep woods denizens will increase dramatically. And- the deeper in the woods they go, the more degenerate and dangerous they invariably become. Bottom line- Always carry a means of self defense when venturing beyond the periphery of known wilderness areas & established public "safe zones". Preferably a big caliber semi-auto rifle that has a large capacity magazine, as well as a sidearm. I refuse to "walk in fear" when out in the wilds of nature... & when armed thusly, I exude not fear, but a high level of confidence. Which can & WILL repel threats lurking in the shadows, as- they are predators & predators can easily read your state of mind by picking up on your field of energetic influence, AND by your body language as it speaks volumes about you. It reveals your confidence and/or aggression level, your degree of awareness, mental/emotional state AND your physical fitness level. Yes, to those who live in the woods 24/7, such ability to read a persons threat level is instant & automatic, they just KNOW whether or not you are a target worth pursuing- or someone that is best avoided altogether. So yes, being armed can reduce or altogether eliminate having encounters with deep woods threats... and if push comes to shove & you find yourself in a confrontation with deranged man/men or hungry/angry beasts-- you can quickly take care of business in no uncertain terms. No, I dont venture out into the woods looking for a confrontation & "eager to kill"- but I WILL dispatch without hesitation or remorse, ANYTHING out in the woods that shows eagerness to kill & eat me!
That’s a good mentality to have, and your eight wildlife can pick up on those things. That’s one reasons bears will bluff charge. I’ve been on the receiving end of those twice now in the past 4/5 years, were very fun.
IF these beings exist, they would not be recent homeless. The ability to survive in the Blue Ridge w/o resources is almost impossible. It's tough country and requires a LOT of skills or support.
If I go down an old logging road to stay the night, I always turn the truck around so I can make a getaway. Or even for the chance of a dead battery the vehicle is facing the right way for a jump.
Where did you get these stories? Im not scared of bears or Sasquatch or anything but the idea of feral people freaks me out. I was going to go on a solo backpacking trip in Tennessee this year. Idk now. This freaks me out.
I never go out in the woods without a pistol, a pocket knife, a shotgun, a hunting rifle, 3 javelin rockets and a fleet of attack drones... and a can opener.
I live down the road off hwy 411. I camp those woods. Way to many things happen out there. Its not to far from where they filmed deliverance with Burt Reynolds .
There are people that dropped out entirely & completely from the system and this current version of what passes for society everywhere. I remember being told of groups of wild men that dropped out to live in the rainforests up north. They were supposedly made up of a majority of Vietnam Vets completely traumatised from how they were used to maim and kill for the government only to have directly copped the disgust and anger by 100,000 people on their return to country. This is what supposedly made them snap. Last one i heard about was a disturbing encouter a woman had about 20 years ago. Pretty quiet since. Anyway, interesting content and greetings from Australia
As a vet I have the utmost respect for nam vets. I have a good friend who’s over. 30 years my senior who’s a nam vet, and the way they were treated when they came home is a pure disgrace.
I tried to reply but for some reason it isnt showing. Thank you! Attention to detail was something I spent a good amount of time learning in the military as a Combat Engineer. Need to pay attention detail when dealing with explosives.
On tubi there is a new series called Outsiders. It is about ferrals, with several twists and turns. I am completely addicted!! I just started episode 1/season2
Are there different types of ferals? From what I’m understanding/hearing, some seem to have come from our modern civilizations, but others it’s more like an non contact tribe type thing
I agree areas with lots of people are generally safer. The amount of back country camping o use to do though… let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t know these stories back then. Not sure I can even count the number of nights I spent solo in the woods.
@darkwilderness2392 I always had a 2nd amendment tool with me.. didn't care what the law had to say, I was making sure that I wasn't going to be somethings next meal or who knows what individuals would have planned.
I wish we had that right up here. Ya, we could carry a rifle or shotgun with us in the back country, but they are a lot heavier and harder to maneuver with in a small space like a tent.
Those bear bangers normally work the first time however if they end up coming back for a second attempt the next day well say , more often then not it doesnt work a second time on the same bear they aint stupid nothing happen to them with the first banger an they remember that so they not so inclined to fall for the same trick twice lol
Appalachian here. I take these claims seriously, though I don’t have enough to say it’s real or not. We have had feral populations before that were exterminated by the government. There was some degree of backlash that they were taking out humans. But there are sections of the park that were completely inaccessible even to rangers. That doesn’t mean that someone who’s entire life is deep woods Appalachia couldn’t access it. Your average housebroken Appalachian does better on advanced trails than people who’ve never been to the mountains. Humans adapt. ATVs and SUVs can’t. We also have people go pretty deep out there to make meth, or run from the law, or because they don’t want anything to do with society. They can be out there for a long time. What happens to people when they experience isolation? They go very deep into survival mode, and lose social skills. We still had modern comforts and could communicate with quarantine but people are struggling socially even now after 3 years of it being back to normal. There is no guarantee that a small group of already likely unstable people went out there years ago for some shady reason, and made babies who’ve never been in society. There is no guarantee they got every single feral person when the government was hunting them. Odds are they would be much like the more elusive animals out here due to small numbers and the intellectual capacity to dodge being seen. They would be unlikely to spot. But we don’t question when someone sees a mountain cougar because it is known to exist. We don’t question when teenagers find moonshining or meth setups because that does, occasionally happen. Whether they are generationally feral or not, the odds of encountering someone who is more animal than human out there isn’t zero. So it’s best to treat dirty, animalistic, wild eyed people as if they are feral and get yourself away from them, asap. Handle people who look like they may be feral as you would bears, cougars, etc. It could just be some druggie who’s high out of their mind but even then, you are best served by getting away from them!
With what seems to have become a permanent homeless population walkways had hiking trails are likely to become permanent residents for some people. If it is not here already it is coming.
A lot of through hikers will shuttle from a road grossing to town but hitch hiking, or some do what’s called “skipping” and hitchhike to bypass a section of a trail as well.
Whats the deal with being filthy though? All types of people have the ability to wash themsleves in water. ? Are cannibles? I say that because certain infections can cause insanity and even cannibalism. Even tribes living in the jungles for generations clean themselves.
Were this actually true there would be actual police reports and bodies. It would be national news... but it is a really fun story! ❤ always carry guns when in the wilderness and video stuff
See I know what your referring to but others will probably think something different. For reference to what he is talking about, check out the video called "Something stalked us through the woods"

Where did you get these stories? Im not scared of bears or Sasquatch or anything but the idea of feral people freaks me out. I was going to go on a solo backpacking trip in Tennessee this year. Idk now. This freaks me out.
Folks send them to me via email, Facebook, etc. these type of stories freak me out as well
I never go out in the woods without a pistol, a pocket knife, a shotgun, a hunting rifle, 3 javelin rockets and a fleet of attack drones... and a can opener.
lol the can open at the end was gold!
I live down the road off hwy 411. I camp those woods. Way to many things happen out there. Its not to far from where they filmed deliverance with Burt Reynolds .
Thanks for the comment! Have you ever had any run ins or know anyone who has?
Any trail cam pics of these feral groups of people?
im not sure...
The cover photo is just funny. The man is what supposed to be Ferel. Huh sure does have mighty good teeth to be ferel,must a new convert to be ferel
LOL ya, hard to find good pics
@darkwilderness2392 lmao I can imagine so wasn't being rude when I commented thought it was funny,keep doing what you do like your story's
There are people that dropped out entirely & completely from the system and this current version of what passes for society everywhere. I remember being told of groups of wild men that dropped out to live in the rainforests up north. They were supposedly made up of a majority of Vietnam Vets completely traumatised from how they were used to maim and kill for the government only to have directly copped the disgust and anger by 100,000 people on their return to country. This is what supposedly made them snap.
Last one i heard about was a disturbing encouter a woman had about 20 years ago. Pretty quiet since.
Anyway, interesting content and greetings from Australia
As a vet I have the utmost respect for nam vets. I have a good friend who’s over. 30 years my senior who’s a nam vet, and the way they were treated when they came home is a pure disgrace.
@darkwilderness2392 totally agree. It was conscription ffs! Poor buggers
I live in east central Alabama, and grew up in the woods. Have a few stories about the people that lived deep in the woods.
Would you mind shooting me an email? id love to hear those stories.
@@darkwilderness2392 sure!
What part of Canada are you in? I grew up in New Hampshire and I have traveled to Montreal a couple times.
@@LocalSquatch5281 I’m from Winnipeg in Manitoba
That’s terrifying
i agree!
He tells the story as if he was there observing the whole thing
I tried to reply but for some reason it isnt showing. Thank you! Attention to detail was something I spent a good amount of time learning in the military as a Combat Engineer. Need to pay attention detail when dealing with explosives.
You're s,good story teller.
Thank you so much!
G U N
Yup
You have to have your vehicle already turned around so you can jet out fast if something like that comes up...
On tubi there is a new series called Outsiders. It is about ferrals, with several twists and turns. I am completely addicted!! I just started episode 1/season2
I will need to check that out, sounds super interesting.
@@darkwilderness2392 as soon as I am home, I am going to watch it.
Are there different types of ferals? From what I’m understanding/hearing, some seem to have come from our modern civilizations, but others it’s more like an non contact tribe type thing
I have heard that too
Rest areas aren't the nicest places either.. I would recommend stopping at a place where there's plenty of people and movement..
I agree areas with lots of people are generally safer. The amount of back country camping o use to do though… let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t know these stories back then. Not sure I can even count the number of nights I spent solo in the woods.
@darkwilderness2392 I always had a 2nd amendment tool with me.. didn't care what the law had to say, I was making sure that I wasn't going to be somethings next meal or who knows what individuals would have planned.
I wish we had that right up here. Ya, we could carry a rifle or shotgun with us in the back country, but they are a lot heavier and harder to maneuver with in a small space like a tent.
I wonder if those "feral people" ever see Sasquatch.
Possibly? Btw, love your profile pic
They eat lunch together sometimes.
Like the real v AI narration.
Me too!!
Perhaps the national park service just considers those people as part of the wildlife and natural habitat that they don't want to mess with
Interesting theory!
I am buying a bear banger, just to say I have one.
Sounds like a plan!
No form of protection? He was in a 3 ton weapon!
Good point
I never leave the house without a firearm!!
Thats a good plan! wish we had that option up here
Silly boys. Never question your instincts! Altho I envy them their encounter.
Yup! Always trust your gut! You must be a total bad-ass if you envy them LOL. You Aussies are a tuff bunch though. Thanks for the comment!
The details are great for a story. Who cares about the preamble get to it Man.....
thanks for the comment
I would be scared to death! I'd probably never camp again.
Yup me too!
My, what great dentistry they have! 😁
@@hed2410 ?
People should actually carry 2 powerful hand guns side arm and an ankle gun extra extra amo ........
Good plan!
Just a guess but the mud all over their bodies might help keep the skeeters and bugs from biting them
Thats my guess as well
It sounds like the people were curious.
Possibly!
Those bear bangers normally work the first time however if they end up coming back for a second attempt the next day well say , more often then not it doesnt work a second time on the same bear they aint stupid nothing happen to them with the first banger an they remember that so they not so inclined to fall for the same trick twice lol
Yup
Appalachian here. I take these claims seriously, though I don’t have enough to say it’s real or not. We have had feral populations before that were exterminated by the government. There was some degree of backlash that they were taking out humans. But there are sections of the park that were completely inaccessible even to rangers. That doesn’t mean that someone who’s entire life is deep woods Appalachia couldn’t access it. Your average housebroken Appalachian does better on advanced trails than people who’ve never been to the mountains. Humans adapt. ATVs and SUVs can’t.
We also have people go pretty deep out there to make meth, or run from the law, or because they don’t want anything to do with society. They can be out there for a long time. What happens to people when they experience isolation? They go very deep into survival mode, and lose social skills. We still had modern comforts and could communicate with quarantine but people are struggling socially even now after 3 years of it being back to normal. There is no guarantee that a small group of already likely unstable people went out there years ago for some shady reason, and made babies who’ve never been in society. There is no guarantee they got every single feral person when the government was hunting them.
Odds are they would be much like the more elusive animals out here due to small numbers and the intellectual capacity to dodge being seen. They would be unlikely to spot. But we don’t question when someone sees a mountain cougar because it is known to exist. We don’t question when teenagers find moonshining or meth setups because that does, occasionally happen.
Whether they are generationally feral or not, the odds of encountering someone who is more animal than human out there isn’t zero. So it’s best to treat dirty, animalistic, wild eyed people as if they are feral and get yourself away from them, asap. Handle people who look like they may be feral as you would bears, cougars, etc. It could just be some druggie who’s high out of their mind but even then, you are best served by getting away from them!
Thanks for sharing that!
What did they report to the police? That people walked around their truck?
My guess is the whole situation
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Can ypu make a video of reptilian/lizard men encounters please 😊x
I did one a while back on something in the Everglades, might be similar to what you are looking for.
@@darkwilderness2392 brilliant do you have the link ? X
With what seems to have become a permanent homeless population walkways had hiking trails are likely to become permanent residents for some people. If it is not here already it is coming.
Well said!
@@darkwilderness2392 Maybe in urban areas but they won't survive in the real boonies.
I live 20 minutes away. They’re more common than you’d assume and have no problem living in a lush, temperate rainforest.
From Cincinnati and loves the Smokies, it’s only about a 5 hour drive. And only a few places to hike in between. Not buying this one.
Im not from the area, just share the details shared with me.
Ive hiked the whole Appalachian trial and never had an issue with anything or anyone
Lots of reports from people who were not so fortunate. Thanks for the comment.
You were very lucky. Do not count on that to happen again.
Wtf..makes people go feral?....society😉😉
That would be a good cause now days lol
Oh, no, not this. Goddamn, Canadian guy again.
Ouch
Lol photo of a car at night
lol yup
We don't use kilometers! Smh
We do. Miles auto converts to KM in my stubborn Canadian brain.
Wonder what language that was? Thats a clue to who these people are.
Good point.
Why the shades?
Why not the shades? I dunno, personal things, always have shades on my hat.
Why would you go on hiking trip depending on hitching a ride from somebody
A lot of through hikers will shuttle from a road grossing to town but hitch hiking, or some do what’s called “skipping” and hitchhike to bypass a section of a trail as well.
Hwy129 is not an interstate. It is a US hiway.
Thanks
That's it protect the woods ...keep the humans out
interesting comment.
i thought the Democrats were in the cities where da welfare is
Umm
Wonder what Bigfoot think about them
Interesting to think about! Thanks for the comment!
Trenny Gibson
?
Mr.Ballen
John is the SHIT! Guys badass as hell!
Whats the deal with being filthy though? All types of people have the ability to wash themsleves in water. ? Are cannibles? I say that because certain infections can cause insanity and even cannibalism. Even tribes living in the jungles for generations clean themselves.
My guess is mud to keep bugs off.
@@darkwilderness2392 i never even considered that
I live in the area. It’s a temperate rain forest and can get quite muddy.
Mosquitoes are worse in Michigan for some reason.
Were this actually true there would be actual police reports and bodies. It would be national news... but it is a really fun story! ❤ always carry guns when in the wilderness and video stuff
Always good to be prepared
Eh…like ur accent
lol thanks bud
The bloody Jordan Peterson voice is bloody distracting
Ok..
Thousands of these channels with the same shit. Technology… we wouldn’t need these made up stories. But make ur many while you can.
Lots of reports not everyone can be making them up
Maybe Oprah was just some wild person lol
See I know what your referring to but others will probably think something different. For reference to what he is talking about, check out the video called "Something stalked us through the woods"
Why do you move your hands so much when you talk
Thanks for the comment
The feral people DO NOT LOOK LIKE HIM, THEY LOOK LIKE YOU. 😮
…
Get to the point bro. Way too much unnecessary information
Then the video would only be a few minutes. Part of story telling
What was the name of the town they firat came too?
I would need to go back and check. Filmed those a while ago.
Americans, if screaming and guns doesn’t work to solve a problem they no idea what to do anymore😂
all else fails... run
Talk miles not kilometers, I'm not in Canada you may be in Canada
I’m more familiar with KM since we use Metric. I auto convert miles to km in my head when I see or hear miles.
He can use whatever system he wants its his video, who are you that you expect him to use miles for your convinience? Entitled yank.
