      You can always stumble upon a maniac, drunk/druged person, or into a wild animal. Wolves, bears, bobcats, poisonous snakes are common in most forests or wood areas... Nvm that, you can also fall, slip, hurt yourself into a trap etc and have no one to help you or get lost/disorienrated due to the fog, similar looking trees etc.
      So be wary of your surroundings, possible dangers, and always have something with you to help you fight and locate you...Always go with other people and into places you know. It's better to be safe then sorry.

    I have my own experience with hearing a bell at night in the forest....when I got out of the military, I spent 6 months working on a ranch outside Whitefish, Montana. While there i spent alot of time cross country skiing, climbing and camping in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. One weekend I took off by myself with plans on camping that night and then climbing this mountain on the continental divide the next morning. That night it dropped to -8 F with an snow/rain/sleet mixture. while curled up in my tent I kept hearing footsteps and a bell ringing sounding like it was circling my camp area. It would come and go for minutes at a time almost the entire night.....being alone it was pretty creepy.. it really felt like I was being stalked so i slept with a glock 21 right next to me. Early next morning maybe 430am, I got out of the tent, ate, packed up and headed towards the mountain. Not a quarter mile down the trail i hear that same damn bell....I look over and to my horror............................. it was a fucking cow that had obviously gotten separated and was just walking around grazing the spots where grass was still coming out of the snow.🤣🤦‍♂️

      It was demon. Tall, moving unnaturally, very fast, doing terrifying, frightening and extremely weird stuff. Yep, hits all the marks. There are no unnaturally moving giants in the woods as giants were hybrids, who were destroyed. Also tall humans are usually clumsy and they aren't so fast, unless it's sportsman. I'm like 99% that this was a demon who appeared in physical form and he purposefully made all that setup with beaver to scare that woman to death or posses her maybe. People usually are too narrow minded, that's why they instinctively exclude everything "paranormal", even if the evidence was front of their eyes. 😉

If her name was Crystal, would the forest freak have a huge crystal tied on a rope around his waist? What if Bella was a guy named Lance? My head was busy thinking up different names and objects for the characters.

    Many ryokans in the Japanese countryside have a box of bells on hand at the reception desk. They are offered t to guests who may want to walk in the nearby forests; these bells are encouraged to be sporadically rung to frighten off bears. Bells are often worn around the waist too, in order to keep hands free.

  • @SamuelHallEngland

    In my little town of Beverley in the North of England, which has a great deal of Medieval history and ghost stories, the most famous one has bells too! Monks during the Black Death of 1348 would carry bells on the stretchers of the deceased and dying plague victims, so that healthy people would know to avoid them.
    They were tasked with disposing of the bodies, as no-one else was willing to do it. Perhaps they also carried bells on the ropes around their waists, but from what I remember they were attached to stretchers. Legend has it you can still hear the bells today! 🔔 🔔 🔔
    The ancient pub called: ‘The Monks Walk’ right outside of the Beverley Minster has a painting of a hooded figure carrying a bell. Apparently there are thousands of medieval bodies underneath the Victorian train station too!

      The bell use to be used to ward of evil but more Celtic in origins bit like when you find windchimes in the woods or church bells. The bell and being near running water would suggest in some circles pure life and rejuvenation while removing harmful entities from the area.

      It was demon. Tall, moving unnaturally, very fast, doing terrifying, frightening and extremely weird stuff. Yep, hits all the marks. There are no unnaturally moving giants in the woods as giants were hybrids, who were destroyed. Also tall humans are usually clumsy and they aren't so fast, unless it's sportsman. I'm like 99% that this was a demon who appeared in physical form and he purposefully made all that setup with beaver to scare that woman to death or posses her maybe. People usually are too narrow minded, that's why they instinctively exclude everything "paranormal", even if the evidence was front of their eyes. 😉

      I was injecting sarcasm into a story that is most likely untrue. No one goes out alone at 6 PM into a wooded area for a stroll that will likely take hours before getting back to the safety of their vehicle, especially in an area that will not be lit. And then seeing a beheaded beaver just before rigor mortise sets in and thinks it's OK to continue on even more? Especially when hearing a bell, a sound that's totally unnatural when alone in the woods? Sorry, but this is a story that's made to order for a campfire group of adolescent tweens while someone off in the dark starts ringing a bell.

      I found the part of the comment section that makes sense! I had heard about threads like these, but thought they were an internet legend ....
      They would have to be exceptionally well hidden cams. Probably planted when a swarm of hunters are in the area for the same purpose. Reduces the risk of camera placement being spotted. Perhaps secondary cams facing the main trail cams in case of tampering. Remember, it's a person, not an animal. They clearly know trail and bushcraft, are capable of higher thought, planning and patience.
      And if possible some IR equipment. Hard to hide heat signature if it's not expected. Most people don't cover themselves in mud frequently. Though as a hunter, the guy is probably aware of tricks like that for masking scent at the very least.

    That's insane! I use to go to a similar area by a creek bed when I was 19-20 and I too heard a bell but with a bit of a lower tone than this one. Once I finally found out where exactly it came from I got startled and I can feel my adrenaline shoot up to my chest. My heart beat was extremely quick and hard my face had gotten flush 😳 There WAS a hunter just standing there. Half of his body "the lower half" was exposed by the sunlight but from his belly button and up was very dark and hidden by the cast of the tree he was standing near.. so I couldn't see his face features just a dark shadowy face. And I swear I froze "now thinking to myself I am a coward" but once he started to speak I trembled from the tone of his voice. All he said to me was.... Do you know how to get to Bells canyon. I ran... 😮 😂 Thanks for reading lol

Unfortunately, it also means that now there are bells ringing out in the woods and all I can think is... run!!! 😂

    As a short story of mine. I lived in a small town surrounded by a not too dense pine forest with lots of sandy trails since this town was built on a desert. Calling it a “forest” is probably an overstatement but it is still a forest. I knew the trails easily navigating to any point of this forest I wanted to be in and to any way out of it. Some day I decided to spice up my walks with some creepy music in my earphones. Easy to say I overestimated my courage and I really started sprinting down the trail as if a maniac is behind me, also considering there was a cloudy weather, so the lighting around me was dim, even though it was around 3-4 pm, and I felt instant relief making it to the normal road leading to the town. Needless to say, I never stepped into this forest again ever, thinking back about how stupid my decisions were… With that said, we often create our worst fear with our own imagination and it manifests because of the surroundings and the situations we create on our own. Bella choosing to continue walking in a dire weather didn’t help her either.

    Bella is such a typical horror story character. Just ignores all the red flags until its too late.

      Thats because this didn't happen. Not saying that mr ballen made it ip but he probably saw it on a reddit thread and this person made it up on the reddit thread.

    This reminds me of a time I was hiking out in the sierra nevada mountains. I was out alone in the woods looking for a campsite and I too started hearing an eerie bell sound. I paused to listen and couldn't hear any sort of pattern to the ringing. Right as I started to hike some more I heard the sounds of a large creature crunching the dry underbrush to the sound of the bell. As my adrenaline started really to kick up, a cow walked out from behind a tree. It gave me a sideways look and then its bell gave a merry little jingle as it bent down to eat a bit of wild grass. Apparently some ranchers graze their cattle way out in the backwoods lol.
