Myself and a buddy were enjoying the campfire one night and heard something coming toward the camp. It sounded huge! We got ready to face whatever it was as the underbrush rustling got louder! You can imagine our surprised when a foraging armadillo came out and walked between us and continued on its way making as much noise as when we first heard it.
My grandfather on my mothers side was a farmer in Louisiana. He used to go out at night and shoot armadillos in his fields. I asked him one night how he could find them so easily in the dark. He said they weren't awfully bright, and would make enough noise to wake the dead while they were hunting for food. I went with him one night (I was about six), just to see for myself. I was amazed to find out that all the grunting and snuffling they do, while they dig for insects, can in fact be heard from quite a distance away.
Cool story bro
Must have laughed your asses off after it went by. Better then staring down a panther though. Been there.
richard bidinger, - Ridiculously loud foragers!!!
Adam Wallace, - Thanks, man!!!
sparkplug1018, - Don't you know it! We were thinking about all kinds of things, bobcat, javelina, something very unfriendly ... Everything except an armadillo! We still laugh about it.
Too funny!
Sketchy Guy: "I got a crowbar!! I got a crowbar!!"
Me: "That's a nice crowbar!! I got a .38 Special!!"
I'm never scared when we're camping.
Scariest thing in National Parks? Missing 411...
Miguel Alves Missing 411 Hunted too
Did you watch Mr.Ballen's videos?
I've posted this before, I was in the Rocky Mountains with my dad and several others we had been hiking for a couple of hours when we came across a beautiful valley we hiked into the valley as we got to the bottom of the valley all sounds in the valley stopped, the wind was blowing but you couldn't hear it blowing through the trees you could see the branches moving and the grass was moving but there was absolutely no sound whatsoever. Then all of a sudden all the sound came rushing back at once and it came from every direction. It was so loud that I remember screaming and not being able to hear my scream. I was around 12/13 at the time and I was with my dad and several other adults. The sound was so loud it was like the sound of a freight train only multiply the sound by one thousand or more. The force that came with the sound actually forced some of us to our knees. We all turned around and hightailed it out of there I've never been so scared in my entire life. I'm a veteran and I have seen and been through some pretty hairy situations, but that was the worst out of anything I've ever seen or experienced. As I said before I was 12/13 at the time I'm 50 now and to this day I still have no explanation as to what happened that day. It was quite literally one of those you had to be there moments.
Have you read the Missing 411 books? David Paulides talks about this phenomenon.
RM Wilson, no I have not but I have heard of Missing 411. It's really hard to explain what happened even after all these years, it was truly on of those you had to be there moments.
RM Wilson I’ve been following David Paulides for quite some time but never heard of this. Can you elaborate on what you do know about the phenomenon?
What do you think could’ve caused it?
I was solo hiking in Colorado during the winter and caught a mountain lion stalking me in the snow
Next time: Bring a can of cat food with you 🤣
....Did you have your gun laws with you?
Eeeek! 😲 also,Yikes..😬
Glad ur ok
Scariest thing in a national park to me is the Yellowstone Volcano. Though scientists say it's not likely to blow soon, its still terrifying to think about.
A super volcano that could pretty much wipe out life on Earth if it blows
It can erupt anytime actually
@@blizzkinggaming6587 It wouldn't wipe out all life on earth, but it would be very catastrophic. Chances are though, it won't be a full eruption. However, even a partial eruption would bury a big portion of the middle of the country in several feet of ash, kill several million, cause a few "trillion" dollars in damage, and possibly cause a short (3-4 years) nuclear winter. It would be "epic interesting times".
Stay on the boardwalks. I was half expecting the guy that melted into one of the pools
@@ssj2matt His sister saw the whole thing, too. Very sad.
I once gave some people a pretty good scare. I live in Ontario, Canada and my parents bought a section of property located beside a park, way out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, foot trails leading through the park crossed into our property and it was common to have to occasionally turn people away because we were doing construction (putting up some small cottages) and didn't want anyone to trespass or get lost or anything. Anyways, one night a bunch of loud people, looking for a place to party started pouring into the forest. It was passed 12:00am so I got out of my tent with a shovel and began loudly whistling 'this old man' in the creepiest tone I could. Then as I was whistling, I'd hit some tree stumps as hard as I could, making a sharp metal clank. I must've sounded like a person out of a horror story, with the creepy whistling and shovel banging out in the middle of nowhere.... After half a minute the forest fell completely silent, then maybe 20 more seconds later, I heard everyone scampering back to their cars, starting them, and then peeling the hell out of the park.
People can be very susceptible to their 'flight' instincts, when self preservation is all they have time to consider while they're bolting through the woods at night. The scariest thing we will every find way out in the middle of nowhere, isn't monsters or mad men, but rather our own raw, primal desire to survive. Granted, you never know who or what you might find, but it's maintaining your calmness and sanity that will keep you safest.
I needed that laugh! Thanks!!
I like your approach to that problem. All I had to do was turn on the sprinklers but I live in the middle of the city.
Your lucky they didnt have guns and took pot shots at you
@@marythomson3110 Lol. Not very likely for your average late night party goers in Canada to have guns on hand. ;D
Was it in Montana in GLACIER NATIONAL PARK on August 8th 1967?.
It's not a national park, but I take my family to Chattahoochie Bend State Park pretty often. One time we stopped for a bathroom break and in the restrooms there are signs posted (in several languages) with a number you can call for help if you're a victim of human trafficking. I held my son's hand for the whole trip after that.
wow lol...No doubt keely .makes you wonder " does this happen often Enough that you have to post About it? "
Wow!
I saw the same exact thing at several ga state parks and other hiking trails in the bathrooms and porter potties. I see those i leave SCARES THE PHOOY OUT OF ME and im a woman.
Must have been hard to wipe.. Holding your son's hands
#21 When I was a kid my mother became friends with a slightly younger woman. One night I overheard her telling my mother that in late 1977 she was waiting for her boyfriend when she saw a young man on crutches near the college. He was struggling to carry his books and she started over to offer to help when she heard her boyfriend say "Hey man, let me help you out."
The man seemed grateful for the help and with her boyfriend helped the guy get to his car. Then they went to their own car and went home. A few months later she was shocked to see the guy on TV. The police had arrested him on suspicion of murder. Several murders, in fact. It was Ted Bundy. His MO was to act helpless and get some girl to help hem. When she got close he would grab her and take her away.
It was the last time I eves dropped on my mother.
Oh, she was damn lucky her boy friend came along. Ted Bundy is quite well known to people of my generation, but it's been some time since he was in the news. Maybe you aren't sure who he was.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundy
He actually mentioned this encounter in a an interview. He remembered my mothers friend.
Now, where did I say my mother didn't teach me about "stranger danger" and such?
Did I say she never told me about the killings?
Read the words on the fucking page. Quite making unjustified assumptions.
Is English your first language? Because, "One night I overheard" and "It was the last time I eves dropped on my mother." in no way means "She never told me." It *ONLY* means "I over heard".
Frankly, you annoyed me by making unjustified assumptions. Learn to think for a change.
Here's some practice. Does wearing your seat belt lead to a greater chance of getting Cancer? As a matter of fact it does, because wearing your seat belt increases your chance of surviving a car crash, and you can only get cancer if you are alive.
*ANYTHING* you do to reduce your chance of death by something other than cancer increases your chance of getting cancer later. Does this make sense to you?
Here's another one. When airbags became standard in cars there was a dramatic increase in traumatic limb loss in car accident survivors. Lets see if you can figure this one out. Why would airbags cause an increase in car crash survivors?
@@erictaylor5462 ...can you believe this kind of reply? Some people! I appreciate your wry comment, as well as the story.
You are looking like you're taking your health serious Mike and I am happy to see that. You look good. Keep these episodes coming for many many years to come
I was camping once in Yosemite and the scariest thing happened. I ran out of toilet paper
That would be bad
That's not even scary I mean really how pathetic
@@shawnoliver1425 well maybe you just walk around covered in your own shit then?
Walk around until dries haha, jk.
LOL
I was treed by a Grizzly.
It was my fault I accidentally scared it's cub as I walked around a boulder.
It stayed beneath me for hours. Loooong story but I managed to get away
safe.
Yikes!!
....."Tremors"!!!!
Wow! Thank goodness they don't climb trees like black bears!
When I was 19 in the late 80s. My husband and I went to shawnee national forest. We were driving and saw a parking lot with a trail so decided to stop. There were no cars in the parking lot. So there was a horseshoe shaped trail. I think there were trails going off this trail. We stayed on the horseshoe trail. It had recently been landscaped so we just strolled looking at the flowers etc. About the half way mark there was a bench. Not in a hurry we sat down and was chatting. All of a sudden every hair on my arms stood up and I felt scared. Complete silence surrounded us. I said let's go. All of a sudden my husband says run! I started kind of jogging he is behind me. He tells me run like your life depends on it I said run!! So I did. We get to the parking lot there is another car. We ran all the way to our car and while we were backing out 2 guys come running out of the trail. They looked shady and one had a bat they were pissed that we got away. I asked my husband how did you know to run? He said I heard run! Like someone whispered it in my ear. Dont know if it was God and angel or what but knew it wasnt my own thought. He said when we weren't running fast enough. He heard I said run. If they catch you, you will die. I didnt want us to die so knew we had to run faster. Later he told me he felt like they were going to kill him and take me. Pretty scary!
You should start a true scary story series, I would definitely watch that
The scariest thing I have ever seen in a national park was stairs that led to no where. This was both in New Brunswick and in Quebec. I was a kid both times, and both times I was severly told off for even looking at them. When my teachers back was turned, a friend and myself climbed it... When we did, it was as if time has sped up a bit, and the air around us was very heavy and tense. I can't explain it any better than that... Sorry. ❤
I've heard of this. If the stories are to be believed, you and your friend are very lucky to still be with us.
Ive heard so many creepypastas about that stuff xD
Park rangers know about these stairs and avoid them but according to David Paulides the stairs don't exist. I understand your fear. I have had a few scary stories in canyons.
@@mistiandamelia DP tells a lot of stories. I find most of them if not all unbelievable or sensationalized
Stairs in the woods.. is that a real thing??
I have a crowbar! I have A Crowbar! I HAVE A CROWBAR!
nice crowbar! 👀🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
@@DoveLady Thank You
I have a shotgun
@@rurikvolkov2810 😝
Very nice crowbar!
I spent a lot of my childhood in the woods and have seen some things that made me question reality and my sanity. The first was when I was around seven or eight I found a bone I thought was a mans leg -- it was a calf's feimer. Being alone, and unprepared the mind makes wild leaps. The number one killer found in the wild places of the world is panic. Most dangerous things can be avoided or circumvented by staying calm--a lesson taught to me by a copper head the more panicked I got the more the snake coiled, but when I calmed down and moved slowly back the snake relaxed and went on it's way.
While at the Grand Canyon I saw a guy sitting on the rim with his legs dangling over the side. It was about 200 feet down!
Scariest thing I've seen in Parks??...tourists
The scariest thing I've seen in a park... hiking a more remote trail... not looking in the direction I was walking... and I run into something. An OPOSSUM HANGING FROM A TREE!!! Do you know how nightmarish those things are?!?!
Yuck! They're so gross! When I was young I lived deep in the country and when giving directions to our house we would jokingly say follow the trail of dead possums to the house on the left. LOL. But that's how many there were around there.
@@kellylewisfischer181 they're literal Satan spawn. I was sitting on my porch one night and one got between me and the door. I ran around my house and broke in my own bedroom window. No time for that demon rat!
@@jhumphrey9485 HAHA! No kidding! Don't blame you for a second! Thankfully my dogs have no patience for any sort of nasty critter be it possums, moles or squirrels... if they can't catch them they'll run them off. Personally I prefer they run them off since I'm really not a fan of a half dead mole being dropped on my living room floor (true story).
@@kellylewisfischer181 haha are we neighbors? Because we have the same life. Country kid problems for sure.
@@jhumphrey9485 HAHA! 😂😂😁 We could be! I grew up in southwestern Illinois. And I used to think dead possums smelled like the worst thing possible that's until this one summer at my dad's about 5 years ago. He lived in west TN and I encountered the worst critter yet... the armadillo! The living ones are bad enough, the dead ones... well there's really nothing I can compare that smell to! 🤮
can u do scary stories for the month of October
This is why i dont leave the house...
With a few exceptions (the one about the crowbar and the eyes ), these were so eerie. You should have saved them for Halloween 🎃
I'd like to point out the scathing fact that just because someone posts something on Reddit, does NOT EVER mean it is "true".
Matter of fact, without effort, one can find thousands upon thousands of lies on every social media site in existence.
At the Grand Canyon Nat'l Park in Az there was a guy hopping from boulder to boulder in flip-flop sandals. He would do it almost daily so tourists could take pictures and he could earn a few bucks. He'd yelp "Hey, looky here!" and jump across a 5' span to another boulder. The thing is, even tho the boulders were only 5' away, the fall between them was 100+' to certain death. Years later that's how he died.
No joke I was off-roading in Colorado miles from anywhere I found a garden gnomes
Hi List25 your videos are so good I really enjoy with my friends and family members and also sharing yours most interesting videos to people.
Thank you so much!!
@@list25 : D
Listen sometimes you're just excited about a crowbar nothing to worry about just pure excitement
I love this National Park stories, and #3 is my favorite because it made my day..
I GOT A CROWBAR
I GOT A CROWBAR
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The crowbar story doesn’t seem scary but hilarious
I live in a rural area of New Hampshire and it's not uncommon for my friends and I to plan hiking trips. So common, in fact, that we sometimes just wing it and go on trips with little more than flashlights and water. Well, one night a friend and I decided to go for a night hike at Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham. I don't live far from there so we both know the place like the back of our hands. To add some excitement to the adventure, we decided to bushwack for a little bit. We had hit a clearing and chose to rest before heading back. Upon shining our lights toward the way we came, we saw 4 glowing orange eyes. At first we dismissed them as belonging to raccoons or beavers. But when one of them started to move toward the other we could tell by the size of the creature and by the way it moved that we were, in fact, looking at a pair of cyotes! We were nearly paralyzed with fear but when we got our bearings we decided to take the long way back to the trail. I'll never forget that night
I live in nh too!
@@felicitydrouin4522 Sweet! I'm from Raymond
I saw a couple coyotes go into a window of an abandoned building not even a couple blocks from where I used to live. Turned out they made a den in there. They're showing up everywhere nowadays, even in the city.
#2: What if the guy was protecting the campers from something? And it was only safe at 3am? (That's a story I would like as a creepypasta. Like the one with the witch and the wendigo.)
If the Missing 411 stories are real I won't go camping at all. I lived in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah it's the most beautiful canyon but can be spooky.
That crowbar one was hilarious!!! HAHAHAHA
I was at Mesa Verde back in the 1990's with my mother. There had been some serious fires that year. The Ranger told us he had been trying to leave the area of the mesa with the fire, when another fire jumped the side of the mesa and cut him off. He had to decide to try and drive through the fire or stay and risk being caught between the two. He drove on. The fire blistered the paint on his
truck, partially melted the tires on that one side, but he got through safely. He had been afraid that the fire would ignite the gasoline in his tank. Certainly made being a park ranger seem a lot more
dangerous then I had ever considered...
I've gone to Yosemite Nat'l Park about 4 times. Two of them were with handicapped kids. The scary part is waking up in the morning and being told that a 1200 pound brown bear was 2 inches from your face sniffing you out during the night.
This is a cool video. Even though I've already heard some of these stories, I like his method. The first thing I thought was how will 25 stories be told in a 12-minute video, but I like it!
There was a story yesterday on the local news (WVLT Knoxville, TN) about a lady who was walking last week in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, who stepped away from her daughter, for only a moment and vanished. Her body was found, yesterday near Clingman's Dome in North Carolina, just off the Appalachian Trail.
The scariest I've ever seen was in CT when I was 11. In scouts we were on a camping trip and hiking through the woods when a blood covered guy came running down the trail. Turns out he and some friends were hiking and decided to repel down a 60ft cliff without the proper gear. Seems alcohol was involved. 2 made it down fine but the third, line snapped and he fell a good 40ft onto rocks. There was blood everywhere, we helped him and waited till a search and rescue helicopter came. Never found out if he made it.
Oh and one other time in college me and some friends were camping in WA. We were high and mildly drunk when a guy with a rifle and large scope walked into our camp. We invited him to sit and he had a beer before saying he had to go. We assumed he was just another hunter. He walked up and over the ridge-line (we were about 200 yards from the top) about 20mins later we heard a single shot. Shortly after that the guy came walking back. We asked how it went and he casually said he missed and walked off.
That's freaky
Bigfoot hunter.
I don't get the second story, it sounds like he just missed
He wasn't dressed like a hunter. He took one shot and then headed back, something Hunters don't really do.
Caleb hodges i think it was meant to be that he walked a distance and missed shooting at them? Who knows. Kinda funny.
Loved this one so much!!! Please do another like this! 😱👏👏👏❤
Moral of the video. If you ever go camping, take a blessed flamethrower. You can use it to light a bonfire at night, or to torch the entire damned place.
DracoNick ...and portions of two or three states
After a long drive, we just pulled over when we finally noticed a lean to about 50 feet from the road. It was already getting dark, but we were hungry, so we made a fire and cooked what we had. We brought the trash back to the car, and brought back our sleeping bags, and went to sleep. In the morning, there was a HUGE pile of poop right behind the lean to. No human or dog could have left that much poo. We obviously had been visited by a bear, who wasn't hungry enough to bother us. The next night, we stayed at a hotel.
You should do a list on ghost stories from wars
They felt foolish when they realized they were looking at mountain donkeys...lol
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaww it's just a couple of donkeys, how cute"
Mountain ponies, horses ain't donkeys
I live in the area where the three orbs of light were. Have seen them myself!
I was visiting Canyon de Chelly National Monument with my mother. We got there in time for the Park Ranger's talk at the 300 foot overlook. Actually, we had gotten there early enough to drive to the highest overlook. We stopped at the other overlooks on our way back down to the 300 foot and the Ranger's talk. We still had over a half an hour to kill before the talk, so I wanted to look down the cliff face. The high point didn't actually overlook the cliff, so I went down to the lower level. I was very careful, but I wanted to look over the edge. There wasn't any barrier, so I just kept moving and looking. My mother became very nervous with my antics. I finally managed it. She called to me to come back at that point. I said, still looking over the edge: "Don't worry, I'd bounce." I thought it was hilarious! The cliff wasn't actually straight down, it bulged a bit before cutting back under.
Am I crazy? Probably.
Once, camping out in the desert this bearded guy came out of nowhere and kept listing off 25 bad puns. He only left when we fed him floppy bacon.
The guy with the crowbar sounds like an awesome person.
When me and my buddy were at Gettysburg we were walking up big round top I believe it was I had the lights off and every thing was off when we got back we noticed something different and noticed the over head light was on and we didn't turn it on and we were able to see my car from where we were and people drove past my car but no one was close to it really and it happened again with out us in the car again
As a couple friends and I finished a hike in Banff National Park we came down to the trail head to find the parking lot blocked off with police cars and police tape. The police asked us if we had seen anyone in a wheel chair, or a vehicle that could transport a wheel chair. A body had been dumped in the river near the trail head and was transported there via wheel chair.
Camping for New Years in Vancouver Island, had truck issues just after Youbou. Walked into town to grab some snacks to wait the night in the truck ( friends were already camping and would pick us up on the way back), half way to the truck a cougar jumps out of a tree. 10 ft from us... just watching us swinging it’s tail! Tried noise, waving arms.. just stayed ... so we walked slowly to the truck ( as it was closer then the town) while not turning our backs to the cougar, and it followed us, keeping pace the whole time. Took about 20 min... got in the truck and honked the horn. Terrifying! Those cats are huge.
Love the videos. One thing though, could you lower the volume on the numbers. It's far louder than the rest of the video.
Great video very interesting thanks for doing what you do list 25!!!
5:07 The boys name is Dennis Martin!
Absolutely...
"As we'll soon discover?" Where have you been? I've been listening to Rusty West. National Parks are dangerous. Cities, suburbs and rural areas are dangerous too. National Park disappearances are more common than anyone would expect. The oddest part is that when someone vanishes, if searches find anything at all, it will be a shoe.
I will never step foot in a national park after listening to some of those stories. If those stories are true, and I have no reason to believe they aren't, then the people that are usually taken are very intelligent or have disabilities or are children. I qualify as intelligent and have a disability. The worst part is, the government knows about it and can't do anything to stop it.
I love rusty west his channel is awesome I've always found the national park mysteries scary and interesting
Richard Bidinger: I this is your phobia, then I understand. I've hiked the trails in the Rocky Mountains most of my life. I have stories of coming face to face with eagles and rattle snakes but no UFOs or serial killers. Disappearances are very rare. In most cases the person who dissapeared is found. A few bad examples can ruin your fun. Please don't worry to much about this. Disappearances are very very rare.
Nice crow bar Mike! Im still laughing.
First video I've watched from you guys in a long while, and a good video it was.
Not a national park but i took a trip to Mexico with a friend who has family there. We stayed at his uncles place out in the woods and i decided to go for a walk at night with my cheap dim Mexican flashlight. After about half a mile i heard rustling in front of me and i looked up to see 2 large glowing eyes watching me. This thing had to be around 15 feet tall. I calmly turned and walked away like nothing had happened. When i got back to the house i told the 10 year old boy that lived there about what i had seen and he then informed me that sometimes the neighbors goats hang out up in the trees when they're frightened.
This is well done. It's good opener to the weir cases written about by David Paulides in his Missing 411 books.
We went to Yellowstone last week and my family was doing dangerous stuff all the time!
When I was 12 I was at Bear Lake, Rocky Mtn Nat Park where a search & rescue was underway looking for a 12 yr old boy who seperated from parents the previous day. He was eventually found dead from hypothermia, it was mid June. Nothing supernatural but still scary to know how easy it is to die in the mountains.
Surprisingly no bigfoot or sasquatch encounters..but bet ur tail theres ufo encounters..list 25 can you do one on skinwalker ranch
25 is not scary the phantom climber saved the dog
Back in Alaska I was driven by kingny national park where a bear went behind a bush and never came out
his name was dennis martin and that was a very strange case indeed. there is a video on you tube about that
Bob gymlan on TH-cam has a video about it, topic Bigfoot who was seen carrying the boy over his shoulder running through the woods & it was all covered up! Such a shame his parents mourned for him all there lives, David palitese also has a missing 411 video bout it,
Oh, forgot this, it didn't happen to me, but to a freind of mine.
He went fishing in Saxton PA in the mid 90's maybe late 90's, where he lived..he was sitting on a log when he noticed a brand new boot sticking out of the brush. He told me he had though to himself that it looked brand new and he wondered why someone would have left a brand new, nice pair of boots there.
He got up, walked over and that's when he saw the body attached to the boots, it was a man who had been shot in the head....he told me he immediately sat back down, had a smoke and then went to call the police.
It was a rather famous case at the time in central PA, the murder was over 25,000$ worth of cocaine apparently.
13 creeped me out. Not just their tent being overrun by rats, but a dead 11 foot long alligator being close by as well.
It wasn't Dennis Smith. It's Dennis Martin.
Yea, I was gonna say..
I've heard a lot of national parks stories. It was nice to have a change those were interesting. Good job on Research!
Great job as always.
8:00 The "Douglass boy" got his pants or shoes wet and was "uncomfortable". His uncle told him to "go back to the campsite and change them for the hike they were about to go on". After not returning for awhile his uncle went back to the campsite to ask the other scouts if they seen him.
We had a family reunions at Glacier Basin National Park. A bunch of us decided to take a night hike. Not going very far because obviously it was dark. We had two flashlights one at the front of the line and one in the middle. I was at the very back. After a while I heard somebody behind me and I thought it was one of my cousins. We continued on for probably another 20 minutes with this person behind me. We came to a clearing and as everybody enter the clearing I noticed everybody was accounted for. They were all in front of me. I turned around to see who it was that was behind me but no one was there.
Denali park, Alaska. Free standing stairs in the woods, just a few yards from a lake. It was so freaking weird and the air felt heavy and alive. We NOPED the heck out if there and got back to our church youth group camp! I saw one other set like them near Cheena hot springs. I was alone that time and picking berries. It was diffren though cause there was no water near by and these stairs were in a spiral. Just standing in the woods, alone, no basic foundation of a house or burn out marks, just the stairs. Again it felt wrong to be there but it also felt like I should go up them, it felt like I NEEDED to walk up them. I ran all the way back to the resort. I was taught to leave faire things and ANYTHING that felt like a trap well enough alone. Sorry about the misspellings. It's not my strongest thing.
I love this channel because i know you research what your talking about so i know its not fake stuff
I hung some raw bacon in a tree at Lake Walenpaupak in PA. I was a young boy and wanted to see what would eat it. We were camping änd pitchëd a tent. As we sat around the fire one night we heard a rustling coming up the hill. My Dad said there are four skunks right behind you, don't run. A mother and three baby skunks walked right under our chairs over to pull down that bacon and eat it. I would have been less scared if it was Bigfoot
My great-grandfather wrote a story in his journal about a time he was a boy scout leader. They were camping up in the mountains and slept in lean tubes they had made. In the middle of the night he heard a noise and when he opened his eyes a mama bear with 2 cubs was trying to get the food they had tied up in the tree. He laid as still as he could as the bears came very close to the sleeping boys, surprisingly none of them woke up. When morning came my great-grandfather looked around at the bear tracks all around the camp. Most of the boys were freaked out that a bear had been so close to them. Sadly the bear was shot by a hunter and he cubs taken not long after.
Belanglo state Forest will always give many Aussies the chills knowing how many people were murdered there!
I'm from northern Michigan and one year i when campin with my family we heard the dog men no one in my family camps any more or goes in to heavily wooded areas at night.
🤪😲
#2 glad it was an outdoor field. Those indoor fields are too sanitary.
You should see (what's left) of the Irish forest's their mystical and spooky at the same time. A lot of witch craft stuff fiund in lots of ancient places. Weird things go on in all the real old abandoned castles. They are beautiful though. Just go during the day 😁
Hope you got through the storm Mike.
Stay safe guy's 🙏 👍👍
How about the story about the guys who went up on Half Dome during a thunderstorm? That's a scary story for sure!
I will never see anything scary in a national park because I will never camp out in any of them. Way too many people disappear from these places & too many killers seem to linger around them.So no,I'll never have a scary story from one of those places.
I once saw a video of a gentleman who took his 2-year-old son camping (I think perhaps in Yosemite). The child kept talking about 'Monkey Man'. When the father woke up in the night he heard the child laughing outside. He'd been lured out by 'Monkey Man'. The father broke camp, packed their gear and took off with his son. However, I cannot find the video again. Can anyone direct me, please?
Idk if it’s a national park, but the metro parks in Cleveland Ohio, I drive them often and at night my imagination gets away from me, so I’m constantly afraid of something coming out of the trees.
I used to live near the parks in an apartment building, it was right across the street from a nice river.
I lived there 5 years, and they found at least 1 body in the water. Apparently it was a suicide. That spot has been a spot of frequent accidental suicides because people jump into the water from various bridges and high rocks, thinking the water is deeper than it is.
I got two somewhat strange occurances: On a solo camping trip to Yosemite in the late 70's (I had been there three times before) I decided to sleep in my VW bug (passenger seat taken out). Sometime around 12 to 2 or 3, I was awakened by the car shaken by something. I couldn't see what it was, but that next morning there were brown bear paw imprints on the rear body of the car's paint, The park's rangers tell people not to leave food around at ground level. My food supply was in the car with me. The other, and even scarier on was of being threatened in 1990-91 by murder, bullied and stalked by a condo resident, a guy even less tame than that brown bear. Too bad for him was the fact that I had military science training in high school, and knew the 'legal' and practical guideline that any citizen can take: "take cover and return fire" if you are still alive, and can do this without endangering other people. Although he recieved numerous warnings by police, and deterred at police gunpoint, he maintained that he needed to protect himself (he had threatened numerous guys at his harbor worksite). And me? I'll take the brown bear over the looser terrorist. So would many guys. 2nd Amendment anyone??? -------> : -)
love your videos
Algonquin Park. The memories I have there.
When I was camping there one summer on Big Trout a boy drowned. Horrible.
I have plenty of scary stories from living in Yosemite in Cali.
Lacy P Yosemite is in Wyoming not Cali
No, it's in California. Yellowstone is in Wyoming.
I was walking with my two cousins and we thought we heard couple having sex with each other. We got curious and looked it was a 40 something year old guy having sex with a deer and a woman in her late 30s having sex with a tree. We ran back to my mom and told her, she didn't believe us. That was 6 years ago and we still don't know what was going through their heads.
Dead body in a canyon!We once found a area under a large rock that was filled with smaller rocks (about 50lb/23kg a piece) it was obvious that they where placed there by people and not a natural rock formation. This was way off the beaten path. As we walked around it we noticed hair. We looked some more and found a full head of hair worth of dreadlocks and torn cloths all around what was starting to look more and more like a gravesite. After hiking back we called the sheriffs department and we where told the sheriff would be in contact with us to meet us at the location. The sheriff never called us back. we didn't push it any further for fear the sheriff was involved and thought we might be either framed or worse targeted by the sheriffs department (they have a reputation of being more like a gang in that county). If there is a body under that rock then he/she is buried in a the most beautiful place you could ask for.
Call Sam and Dean
In a area called jahadale iin southen west Australia i use to go camping regularly. . One night this thing came out of the bush stood about 7 foot tall but slim and humanoid even in the light it looked black and well i was 25 kilometers from the highway and it chased me to the lights along the highway i had my dads gun and had shot at it a few times while running but it showed no signs of slowing or injury
His name wasn't Dennis Smith.
Dennis Martin.
#22. When I hear the whistling, I answer it by loading a shell into the barrel of my pump shot gun. Where i live, anyone that goes camping without a fire arm is asking to become a bear's burrito.
The scariest thing I've ever seen in a national park is my ex husband still alive.
It gives me cold chills to this day!😁
bitch you are like 12
Why you call you that?
Camping in Yellowstone in 1990, I opened the tent flap to a fresh, hot, steaming pile of grizzley bear shit
😀👍🏻 well made sir
No 25 - I would actually call the first one lucky. It may have felt creepy for the reasons you said - but climbers do try places that are not known for climbing and some people are embarrassed by shows of overt emotion. The thing is, none of them were hurt or threatened, and their dog was rescued while they felt helpless to do anything. This poor Good Samaritan now has the knowledge that the people he helped saw him only as a threat.
I had heard the story of Dennis Smith before (No 15). I think for the family the worst thing was never knowing what really happened to him - it would be for me.
#25 I guess you could say that guy was a guardian angel for the dog.
Oh!! Camping story!! Girl scouts camping in grandparents orchard. 18 yr old bro coming home down a dark long driveway. 8 girls flipping on flashlights. 18 yr old bro running into house, not coming out till daylight!!!
Once i was at a park walking with my mom. We started talking about satan and him being a snake. Three minutes later a very long ribbon snake started chasing me. It did so for five minutes of my fast running. I yelled out - God help me and right then it went off to the side!
