Hello friends. After much appropriate and totally correct backlash, I would like to officially retract my statement about the Raven being ugly. It was rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for. I earnestly seek your forgiveness and vow to never insult wildlife again, unless it is truly deserved. (Comment your least favorite animal down below haha)
Follow your Intuitions. If your gut tells you it's time to go. You got to go. Especially if your chilling somewhere alone. Your Guardian Angels are watching over you. Stay safe.
It's hard to follow gut feelings when we don't have any logical way to know why the gut says something. I side with the camp that says you did the right thing.
Crows are one of the most intelligent birds out there and they have a language that they use amongst themselves. They actually have funerals when one dies. They are beautiful not ugly!!!!! They warn people when danger is near.
@@bettyloohoo77 who said I was offended?🤣😂 You trying to start trouble Karen??? Lol. Just educating you on how that crow was warning her to leave. Mind ya own business Karen! 😜😄😜
Just subscribed! Glad you left when you did. I think something was watching you... I did an experiment while on a driving trip. While in the passing lane I would look over to the driver on my right - they very, very often - turned the head to look at me. We must've developed these skills long ago in order to survive - it's good to listen to your intuition!
please. people. please. priorities. it was a harmless comment. there are children dying of starvation. I think the crow will get over it. Oh, that's right....the crow doesn't speak English! Geesh.
Many yrs ago I was camping with my 12 yr old daughter in a remote area near Yosemite when we both suddenly felt like we needed to get the heck away and we left immediately. Several days later we heard that a mother, daughter and daughters friend had been murdered in Yosemite. Always trust your gut 🐢🐩🐶🐕🌲🌊✨🌺🌙☮️
Yep, this happened when the wife and I went to a hotel in Utopia, TX. We arrived in the early afternoon and looked around town, nice small town folks. We went back to the hotel after dinner. I went for a walk along the river, along the hotel grounds, to see the beautiful Cypress trees. When the sunlight began to fade away I went back to the room where my wife was getting ready to settle in. An eerie feeling immediately had come over the two of us. When I mentioned this, my wife just about burst into expletives, “YES, YES, YES”, she agreed. We tried to go to sleep. We talked and agreed to leave, even though we had paid for the night. By that time it was just after midnight. We quickly packed up and quietly started pulling out of the parking lot. The proprietor happened to be outside and hailed us for a question. As he questioned us, three other adults came out of his room/apartment. He asked several questions about why we were leaving. We made up some lame excuse and quickly left. Weird, weird, weird, what the hell was he doing outside that late? Why was he so very curious about why we were leaving? We had paid the bill. Why did several adults come out to join him as he yelled across the parking lot? We absolutely made the right decision and were glad to leave.
TBH, since you are out alone and seemingly unarmed, you have way too much stuff outside of your vehicle. You need to be able to leave quickly if necessity requires. Phone and keys on you at all times and vehicle doors closed and locked. Personally, I understand my vulnerability and am armed when I am alone away from my home. Paranoid? Nope. Realistic. Will I run into a bad guy? Probably not. But that's what everyone thinks.
I AM SOOO GLAD U TEXTED HER THAT ! I ALSO SAID SIMILAR THINGS IN A GRANDMOTHERLY TYPE OF WAY. SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN AND SOME YOUNG MEN GET INTO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF NOT REALLY BELIEVING WE LIVE IN A FAIRLY DANGEROUS WORLD NOW. SURE WOULD BE SOOO SAD IF SHE DID END UP IN A BAD SITUATION DUE TO NOT THINKING SENSIBLY. SUCH A PRECIOUS YOUNG PERSON .
A few years ago I had gone hiking with a group of friends in an isolated and somewhat overgrown nature reserve. There were miles of trails, some almost impassable so the going was slow. After an hour and a half we came to a very steep uphill climb and I decided to turn around and head back to my car. The rest of the women decided to continue for a while so I went back alone. I was fine going back alone since the sun was a few hours from setting. About a half a mile into my return I began to feel a sense of dread that I’ve never experienced while hiking. I was sure something or someone was following me although at first I didn’t hear anything. The longer I walked the more pronounced the feeling became, and I began hearing sounds of footsteps a few yards behind me in the tangled brush of the woods. It kept my pace and stopped when I stopped to look behind me. I saw nothing, but the overwhelming sensation that I needed to run took over. I ran faster than I have in years, stumbling and ripping up my arms and legs on denser parts of the trail. I finally saw some hikers coming toward me. I felt embarrassed but I told them what happened. They walked with me back to my car, but turned to go on the trail. I tried calling my friends but there was no cell service . When I finally reached them I could tell they were poo pooing my experience. Last year while I was doing volunteer work, we got to talking about our local hiking trails. One woman said that she and her friends vowed never to go back to the nature reserve. We shared our stories, and an elderly man told us that the area abutted a compound of a very strange family who were well known to law enforcement. They apparently had several youngish sons with terrible rap sheets. Needless to say, I have never returned, but I do know that something was out there watching me .
You were spot on with you intuition and awareness!! If you would have ignored these feelings to turn and burn you may have become a missing 411 case!! Godbless
I think it's very important to point out Missing 411. The point of separation when somebody decides to go back to camp or go on up ahead while the others return... There have been many many many instances where people go missing and are never found again. Being near water and granite outcroppings as well as sudden weather changes. Please don't dismiss these indicators. They are very real. You can purchase a personal locator beacon that can save your life. Anyone who hikes solo but I would suggest anyone who is an isolated wilderness situations should have one, regardless of whether they've been out in the wilderness for years or not. Also the feeling of dread, being followed, or just getting an intense feeling that you should leave, is definitely connected to Bigfoot as well as several other creatures that I won't name as I said Bigfoot is probably enough to make you roll your eyes. They can project these feelings in order to make you leave their territory. Please research David Paulides Missing 411 as well as howtohunt.com. be fair and research these subjects with an open mind. David Paulides is a retired police officer. How to hunt, Steve Isdahl has been a hunting guide for over 20 years and spends over 250 days a year in the wilderness alone. God Bless and be Safe ❤
That feeling is a natrual instict that has allowed our species to thrive and stay alive. Your instincts will never fail you if you act upon them swiftly like you did here.
Hi. I was on the road solo for 3 years camping across the Southwest. The feeling of “I need to get out of here” hit me at least 3 times over 3 years. I trusted my gut each time and left whether it meant packing up camp or not. It might have saved my life. Good job trusting yourself. ✌️🤘
Always trust those instincts. People tend to shrug them off and many times don't live to regret their judgement. Better to be safe than sorry. Women's intuition is actually an amazing safeguard we never should ignore.
There’s no such thing as women’s intuition. It’s actually subordinate’s intuition. Women feel it in patriarchal societies because they are subordinate to men in the social hierarchy.
Having lived and travelled solo in my camper van for 2 1/2 years - if you're getting a bad vibe - just go. I seldom felt that way but once I'd put a few kilometers between me and the weird vibe I felt, and slept, much better. Other times I'd scope out a sleeping spot in the day and I felt great however when I returned at night something was 'off' so I'd find an alternate sleeping area. You did the right thing. We can never know what trouble we have avoided - we can only regret the trouble we unnecessarily invited. Here's hoping we never have to think, 'I should have known better'.
I am a solo female camper, you need to listen to your spidy senses. It only happened to me twice, but no regrets as I have never had any bad experiences.
For me, I wouldn’t be comfortable camping close to rushing water because I couldn’t hear something bad sneaking up on me. Maybe that was part of what made you want to leave
I was on a business trip and got so freaked out at a hotel around 10:30 PM I left. Definitely chilled to the bones. I got to another hotel and slept with the Gideon bible on my chest.
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT!!! Even if it seems foolish to you. Your body is sensing something that is making you uncomfortable and when you can't see or hear what it is, you have to trust it. You did the right thing. You may never know what it was that made you feel uncomfortable, but you did the right thing.
This feeling has hit me several times while hiking.I am older and have hiked nearly.1000 times in my life. Two of these times I looked right at a bear watching me. Other outdoorsmen have experienced the same thing. Biologists theorize it is a physical response to early man olfactory senses being activated.
I had a similar experience when visiting Petroglyph National Monument outside Albuquerque on a solo road trip through NM. After spending the night at a hotel, I had hiked way out in the park and had been studying the petroglyphs for an hour or so when I spotted a tall guy watching me from some distance away. There was no one else at the park. He realized I had seen him, then he saw me making a getaway to a different trail, he started walking fast and furious towards me. I diverted away but he followed. My hair was standing on end and could feel the evil vibes. Thankfully, a family of tourists with children arrived at the park and were walking in my direction so I waved and yelled hello and started hollering to them like I knew them, walking fast in their direction. The stalker stopped at a short distance from me, but was close enough I could see his psychopathic blank stare, realizing his prey had slipped away. I joined the family, speaking to them, then beat it back to my car and drove away while he watched me. I made tracks to Santa Fe, watching my rearview mirror all the way. Chilling experience.
Last year I was headed down to the outer house got about their and all sudden had a feeling of being watched. It was 700 in morning . I stopped and a cougar was slouched down thirty ft from me . He was same color as the grasses and was hard to see. I ask him what he was doing up by my cabin. He realized his cover was blown. He came off the ground and did a 160 in the air and was gone . He was a full grown cougar... My hackles were in full danger mode.
One of my cousins has property abutting desert. They get frequent "visists" from a cougar who lounges on the partial wraparound deck outside the kitchen. He likes to sit out in the morning with his coffee. Like a routine he says he taps on the glass door, then unlocks it & slides it open. Cougar takes off leaping off. He gets a kick out of shooing the "big cat" away as he calls her/him. They think the morning sun is a draw.
@@jeanbell7922 my cousin gets a kick out of it. When he knocks on the sliding door and opens it he says it's "off you go. My turn." His wife isn't amused but then she doesn't like animals or nature or anything in nature. She doesn't even like hanging outside at all. She's a from the door to the car to a bldg type of person which is weird because she grew up on a midwest farm but hates the outdoors.
I had a place I liked to sit at in a park. Sitting with my dog reading the paper when I heard:Leave Now. A man in a delivery truck not far. Realized how secluded I was. Didn’t fold the paper just threw it in the car. You hear about crimes of opportunity. Leave Now. I’ll never forget.
I was reading the comments and came across yours and I’m so glad you followed through with leaving. I always tell everyone to follow their intuition it always alerts you, if you pay attention and listen. I understand in your case you heard the warning and that happened to me before I was being invited to a party by my ex that was when I was young of cause and immediately I was warned not to go and why. When I told him exactly what was told to me and told him to tell his sister she can eat herself the witchcraft she was preparing for me in the food he opened his eyes wide, was shocked and asked how did I know it just slipped out of his month. All that time they had a plan for me and it didn’t work for them. Thank you Jesus 🙏
I feel that having left multiple campsites due to bad vibes over the years, is why Im still around. Always listen to that feeling, never stay anywhere with weird vibes, ever. You definitely did the right thing leaving!
I’ve been on an old back road and suddenly had a massive feeling of dread. I was with a male friend. Although he didn’t say anything to me or me to him he was experiencing the exact same thing. We discussed it about a year later not knowing we were both experiencing the same feeling. Our intuition I’m sure is an old survival tool. Trust your gut.
I'd say it's better safe than sorry. I was going east out of Utah through the desert at night of course, and man talk about the feeling of people watching and moving about. It almost felt crowded. But a good feeling not hateful at all. Thank goodness.
Some years ago, I worked for a market research company. My job was to gather data from selected households in certain neighbourhoods. I loved interacting with the people and families I met. Most of them were really nice and friendly. One afternoon, I knocked on the door of a particular house and a middle aged man answered my knock. I introduced myself and explained that his household had been selected for this particular research. He agreed to participate and invited me in. But something in me suddenly warned me not to go inside. I had a quick flash of insight that something may happen if I went in. It was a really strong feeling. I suddenly came up with the excuse that I was running late and that I would come back another day. I was glad to get out of there. I told my supervisor about the incident but she did not believe me. But I managed to persuade her to skip that house and select another. I honestly feel that something would have happened to me that day if I had gone in.
It sounds like the crow might have possibly been your savior? Always follow your initial gut feeling, instinct, intuition, and/or vibe... whatever you want to call it. There was a reason that you felt that way. The crow probably had your answer.
Imo, doesn't matter what's off, if you feel somethings off and you want to go, absolutely go! I've never regretted listening to my gut. Loved every part of this vid.
In my culture (Australian Indigenous) its believed that Crows are ancestors and I think in American Indigenous beliefs, its the same. Ravens and crows are spirits So i think because you were visited in the carpark by the raven, it was a sign that you were being either protected or warned. I feel it was a warning and that's why you felt uneasy. You seem like a very connected person and the warning may of been to protect you from negative spirits. Well done on sticking by your intuition ❤ Stay safe ❤
I loved living in Silver City years ago,but the Cliff Dwellings,and Turkey Creek hot spring, I only went there twice,because of exactly what you felt. I got the feeling the people that dwelled there may have been in physical form 800 years ago,but their spirits were still there,and didn't like being disturbed. Never felt comfortable. I much preferred Faywood,or if I had time to camp,San Francisco Hot springs. 2 rivers in 1. 1 hot, and 1 cold. It's a beautiful area,full of history and ghosts. You honored your intuition and did the right thing. Ty for the memories. Take care.
That's what I thought, too. Something spirit related made her feel uncomfortable. If you can't do music at a place, something is really off. And it only started after she visited the mountain dwellings. I would make it a habit to friendly greet the inhabitants with inner voice or out loud, tell them I respect their place and dont want to disturb them, keep my vibes positive and leave with friendly wellwishing. Can never hurt. And yes, always listen to inner warnings, odd feelings. That is our intuition, drawing our attention to a possible danger or to some spirit not approving of the disturbance.
When you feel like something is telling you to leave, it is wise to leave. When I am at cliff dwelling or especially petrographs I feel an affinity with the people of long ago. I feel I am among friends.
One of the commenters here mentioned that ravens warn people when there is danger…indeed they do… they are definitely not ugly. Follow your feelings (when they tell you to get out - danger).
That uncomfortable feeling as a Christian Is the Holy Spirit protecting you… I have been in many situations that I know I was protected from harm. From roads to walking out of a store to people approaching me or even getting on an elevator or crossing a street…❤ Thank you Lord Jesus for the protection of the Holy Spirit.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love what you said, Elizabeth. I am a Jesus follower....I stay close to Him and He stays close to me.....there is no power in the world like the power of Christ through the Holy Spirit....sometimes I get those danger feelings when there is a demon nearby....rare, but sometimes it is not a human or an animal. As it says in Ephesians 6, when we are born again and close to Jesus, we have a spiritual enemy who loves to yank our chain. But Christians have power and authority over demonic beings. Blessings!
When that feeling comes over you, in the wild, it usually means that a predator is watching you. It's also the same feeling, that people report, just before they have an encounter with a bigfoot.
@@sdw2is People that have had encounters with them say that they first feel like they're being watched, or a feeling of fear and dread comes over them before the encounter.
Fortunately, bigfoot/sasquatch are generally docile but they don't care for those with guns, and especially when they're directly threatened by them, a very unwise move.
It looks so peaceful with the music and all . NEVER FORGET : SITUATIONAL AWARENESS THE BIRDS THE LEAVES THE ANIMALS wil tell you all you need to know . And your gut tells you all you need to know. Its got me through war and really skeathy times & areas
If you have a visit from a Raven, not everyone is as blessed, then know that Raven came to warn you off an "Ill omen". You already know this to be true as your gut feeling had kicked in along with your common sense. That's 3 warnings!!! What are you waiting for? Get the heck out of there and you are saved from a certain ? Yeah. Raven is your friend. Give him a peanut or something to say ThankYou from the bottom of your ❤️ now you know.💞
You can cook with beer too❤.the bird you saw is a Rook. Or Raven. When I get those weird feelings, I feel like it’s the Holy Spirit warning me. And I listen too. May God always keep you safe🕊🙏🏻❤️🌈💯
My girlfriend and I were playing under a waterfall near our campsite. We both suddenly had the feeling that we had to leave. When we made it back to camp, we heard this loud roar coming from the stream. When we went back to look, a huge brown wall of water was rushing down into the canyon. We later heard from someone else that a beaver dam had given way upstream. Had we not left the waterfall, we would have been swept several thousand feet down into the canyon. Trust your instincts.
I get it. 4 yrs in my van. Once inawhile I just have to leave. Just a feeling. Ya just leave. There's a reason even if you never know what it was. Vibes
Probably cause you called the raven ugly…..lol. But, really your intuition speaks volumes. Traveled for 6 weeks solo camping and I often chose to move on just because it didn’t feel right.
It’s always good to trust your instincts, especially when traveling alone. I’m so glad that you moved to a more public place. Safe travels and do be careful young lady. See you in the next one. ❤
It's okay Emma! If that was the way you felt and you had the need to leave where you were, it's okay. Don't beat yourself up because of it. That was a beautiful place you were camped. I loved the old ruins. You recognized the beauty of the places you visited; absorbed the energy from the area and then somewhere else was calling you. It's cool! Thanks for taking us along. Be safe out there on the road!
Beautiful video. Good instincts. Ravens are spiritual guides according to Native Americans. I work in the woods and every single time they come around I end up facing off coyotes or bear. They're excellent guides and that wise black bird was helping you out.
I am 70+ years old, ALWAYS listen to your instinct! You just never know in this day and age what's going to happen ! You are a brave girl, smart and full of life, keep it that way! ❤ Stay safe, God bless and keep you, always, Amen.
Years ago my husband and I were remote camping in Washington State. We had just gotten up the second morning, looked at each other and said let's go home. Something's wrong. Drove the four hours home to find a phone message from our daughter on the East Coast. She had been in a car accident and was in the hospital. We took the next plane out. If we hadn't had that feeling, it would have been a week before we made it home.
I like to keep a couple of cans of Fix-a-Flat in my rig but will probably switch over to that tire Slime thing with the compressor. I'm glad that you have a tire compressor though as it's definitely good to have in your rig, even if only when you need to deflate your tires for additional traction, then you can pump them back up again. Always, always, ALWAYS listen to your gut / intuition. That's the primitive part of your brain warning you of danger and you did the right thing by leaving when you did. I am so glad that you did! If you notice, you tried to rationalize it, which is completely normal, and why some people don't live to tell their stories. I'm glad you lived to tell yours. Stay safe out there and I will see you somewhere down the road!
ALWAYS listen to that voice and leave Emma! Dont even question it. Our intuition keeps us safe! Love the relaxing music on your channel. Im an avid camper so feel your pain about car cooking lol you are so brave! Keep it up!! One day these memories are going to be priceless!
i always listen to my feelings. you can't out-distance them. there's really nothing worse than finding yourself in a horrible position when you had a palpable foreboding.
When solo camping always listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts, you many never know why you left but I believe God gives us those feelings for a reason. I'm glad you're safe and don't feel bad, just keep truckin' lol. PS: I'm a 71 year old female and went solo car camping about 20 years ago in Alaska before it was a popular "thing" to do, in bear country nonetheless, you just have to stay in tune and do what feels right. Enjoy your adventure!
Beautiful, quiet place, but even with the sound off, it has a funeral-type atmosphere, even in the sunshine. I think the crow was just warning you off, just in case...after all, they can fly out of most trouble, and humans cannot. Lovely calcite (?) crystals in those rock specimens--that, alone, was worth a quick visit!
I had a bad feeling while camping with a group . I thought I'd better go before this storm hits and my tires weren't so good. When I got to cell range, my phone rang. It was my wife telling me our basement flooded from a broken pipe. Follow that gut feeling.
Good video. You do not need to know why. This happened to me when I was visiting my sister in Norfolk, VA. I got the sudden feeling to leave, which surprised her. Nothing untoward had happened. Everything was good. Just something said go. So I did. As I was driving out of Norfolk, I looked back over the city and there was a very odd large storm formation right over the city; the clouds were dark and had a greenish look to them which is usually a sign of a tornado. I called my sister later and no storm broke, just became very cloudy. Weird experience. Best not to ask why, follow your intuition, and then let it go and do not worry about it anymore.
Been there, camped there, all cool! The ravens are checking out any food left in the open all the time. Saw havalina nearby, the cliff dwellings are cool. US Park Service Rangers are on hand. From the hike up too the visitors center. Lets face it, is was Apache country near Silver City, NM. Big country, with wild animals and lots of wilderness. But it is a neat place to visit and camp. It was Gerinimo's growing up home.
It is an omen ! Holy Angels protection. You have no idea what those other people may have been doing or planning in the desolation! You are very brave and smart to leave when you did 👏👏👏. I applaud you and listening to your inner spirit !
Had to flee a nice spot at a lake in Germany one night, strange folks trying to open my door, thank God my dogs made them run. I hopped behind the wheel stark naked (it was summer) and LEFT! Spent the night on a deserted Lidl parking lot. And felt much safer there...
I’m so glad you honored your gut instincts. Your subconscious will notice things way before your logical frontal lobe can even begin to come online. Our ancestors weren’t like lions on the food chain, they were like rabbits. We still have that instinct. You could have subconsciously noticed some type of nature sound stop, or start, which would indicate a predator was near. You could have smelled something strange on the wind. You could have noticed a small change that your logical brain was paying no attention too because you were busy but that rabbit instinct screamed run. Once this lady got attacked by a man and when she replayed exactly what happened, she realized he came in her building behind her but she never heard a buzzer, even though she didn’t see him near her when she came in. He had waited for her to come in and then ran up from where he was hiding and grabbed the door before it closed. Unfortunately even though she felt uneasy, she ignored her feelings because she didn’t know why. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to my instincts, no matter what. Good people will want you to be safe and understand you being cautious. Everyone over the age of 12 knows how dangerous it is to be a woman in this world. Predators, however, want you to doubt yourself and will try to manipulate you by saying you shouldn’t be scared or try to shame/guilt you into ignoring your instincts. That’s a red flag signaling stop, back away, be ready to defend yourself, get to safety away.
This has happened to me a few times. A distinguishable time was when a bad feeling overcame me out of no where. My husband turned to look at me and asked if I had a bad feeling. We got up and left immediately. Never knew what it was.
Definitely follow your gut always. Thank you so much for this one, I am having a very difficult day. Watching you enjoy the rocks and water was beautiful and the beer thing made me laugh out loud😅 I needed that so much. Thank you!🫂🩵
Im also in a van in New Mexico. If you haven't been there yet, a nice campsite is luna campground! Theres only about 5 sites total and it gets dark enough that you can see all the stars! It has a very nice gravel road you can hike as well to various peaks, mix of forest/mountains and plains
You are being SMART. We humans have special radar or senses and if we pay attention and especially in a quiet place, that’s our protection. WELL DONE!!
Those are most likely calcite crystals growing on the basalt rock- you’re very interesting, your personality is just so calming! As far as feeling that you needed to leave, it’s good you did; as a retired law enforcement officer I can tell you there were a few times I felt uneasy in certain locals while on duty, in the dark and watched my back diligently! You also might have attracted an ancient spirit at the cave dwellings; I’m not superstitious but I am spiritual, and we as the living spirits are not alone in this reality!
Glad you are sensitive to your intuition. As a woman camping alone and especially with an unpredictable tire situation & light on the dash, it's great you can listen and err on the side of caution. May God bless you as you discern how to be safe and happy.
Always follow your gut it's never wrong. I feel especially in van life always always pay attention. Many years ago I was standing on a train platform and something told me to step to my left I started to ignore it but I stepped to my left and someone went right past me onto the tracks exactly where I had been standing onto the tracks in front of the on coming train. The person was killed if I had not moved I would have been possibly knocked on the tracks in front of him and killed.
I was backed in at all times! I back in every time I park anywhere. Sometimes I have to pull in forward and do a 7 point turnaround to be facing the road though haha
I think that seeing the crow got you spooked. Not because you were afraid of it, but because it felt like a harbinger of something bad, and that is why you called it "ugly." I think that stayed with you back to the campsite and you just wanted out of there. There are signposts in life if we watch for them. It could be a missed appointment, turning the wrong way, missing a phone call, or other things we believe are inconveniences, but are really guidance to go another way. Often when we keep pressing forward and ignoring the signs is when things REALLY don't work out well, and we wish we had paid attention.
Crows and Ravens are awesome birds. Super smart and beautiful! Not ugly. With that said, you have to trust your instincts and whatever told you to leave was for a reason.
It’s good you listen to your inner voice, and left the area. As a Christian I call that the Holy Spirit. It’s there to protect you. You should always listen to it. Praying you have safe travels and fun adventures. 🙏🏻 😊
You're very smart to listen to how you're feeling, they're are a lot of crazy people living in our deserts, mountains, etc. I was around this man for about 5 minutes, I felt this overpowering feeling of evil around him and left, glad to know it wasn't just me when it happened to someone else too. I don't know what he was doing I just felt a very evil spirit being near him.
New Mexico is a spiritual and can be a spooky place. I have been here 35 years. I can tell you that I have had more than my fair share of indescribable (beautiful and fearful) moments.
It's not just you. This whole weekend, nothing has been settled, I've been as skittish as a horse in a thunderstorm. Normal things are breaking, not in their usual places, electronics are weird, just everything is WRONG. It gets like this sometimes. Honor your feelings, and be protective of yourself.
I had that happen to me once---deep in the woods in Oregon--I drove 45 minutes to the coolest trail--there were some other vehicles in the parking lot but I saw no one--I headed up the gravel road to get to the trail head and then it hit me---the hair on my arms and neck stood up and all I can say is I had sort of a knowing awareness that I needed to leave NOW. So what is interesting to me is that when that happens and you listen--you get out due to discomfort--well, you never get to know what would have happened if you would have stayed but I tell you--the way I felt, I am sure that is a good thing! Glad you listened to that still, small voice/awareness that can register something a little extra beyond the senses and let you know to GO!
Wow Emma I'm so glad that you made that decision to leave always go with your gut like that I sense something special about you anyways and your decision kept you alive I'm not sure if you know of or have ever heard of The reptilian Draco, but you are right in the middle of prime area for disappearances of people that claim that invisible portals people are disappearing in and then you can hear them screaming or hollering for help but there's nowhere to be seen things like that are happening all over that area I'm just so happy that you got that gut instinct that helps you to make the decision to leave I'm so proud of you
Experienced hunting guides say to trust your gut, if you're uncomfortable being in an area during the day, you sure don't want to be there after dark. Trust your gut, that instinct is there for your protection.
Hello friends.
After much appropriate and totally correct backlash, I would like to officially retract my statement about the Raven being ugly. It was rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for. I earnestly seek your forgiveness and vow to never insult wildlife again, unless it is truly deserved. (Comment your least favorite animal down below haha)
😂remember that song, Everything is beautiful in its own way…😊 but yeah, they are pretty far down on the lower end of good looks
I must admit, I find snapping turtles ugly. There! I said it!
Rats!
You’re entitled to your opinion. I don’t think hyenas are cute. 😅. Nice channel. Just found you.
Don’t apologize for your opinions. If you give an inch, they will take a mile.
Follow your Intuitions. If your gut tells you it's time to go. You got to go. Especially if your chilling somewhere alone. Your Guardian Angels are watching over you. Stay safe.
will do 🫡🫡🫡🫡
I totally agree 👍🏻
Definitely, better to listen to your senses when that feeling hits.
It's hard to follow gut feelings when we don't have any logical way to know why the gut says something. I side with the camp that says you did the right thing.
I agree
Crows are one of the most intelligent birds out there and they have a language that they use amongst themselves. They actually have funerals when one dies. They are beautiful not ugly!!!!! They warn people when danger is near.
@@bettyloohoo77 who said I was offended?🤣😂 You trying to start trouble Karen??? Lol. Just educating you on how that crow was warning her to leave. Mind ya own business Karen! 😜😄😜
I agree..... and ignore the people that want to stir the pot
😂😂😂😂@@bettyloohoo77
Yes, crows have the intellect of a 7 year old.
It's a raven, but ravens , crows, jays magpies and others of the Cordivae family are among the most intelligent birds
It could have been a mountain lion, it could have been a person. You did the right thing. ❤
I think the tyres was a clear message what it was.
Just subscribed! Glad you left when you did. I think something was watching you... I did an experiment while on a driving trip. While in the passing lane I would look over to the driver on my right - they very, very often - turned the head to look at me. We must've developed these skills long ago in order to survive - it's good to listen to your intuition!
I was thinking something or someone watching
Crows are not ugly. They are beautiful and incredibly intelligent.
It was a raven, not a crow; no matter, they're both splendid beings!
How do you tell the difference between a crow and a raven? If you can’t understand it then it’s a raven.
Yes, crows are amazingly smart and curious birds…I love them!
please. people. please. priorities. it was a harmless comment. there are children dying of starvation. I think the crow will get over it. Oh, that's right....the crow doesn't speak English! Geesh.

Many yrs ago I was camping with my 12 yr old daughter in a remote area near Yosemite when we both suddenly felt like we needed to get the heck away and we left immediately. Several days later we heard that a mother, daughter and daughters friend had been murdered in Yosemite. Always trust your gut
🐢🐩🐶🐕🌲🌊✨🌺🌙☮️
oh my LORD these are the stories that haunt me at night, glad you and your little one are safe!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, so very sad.
I remember that case! So glad you & your daughter got out of there safely!
That was a gut wrenching and incredibly sad story, I think a female ranger was also a victim. You absolutely did the right thing!
Yosmite 'ugly beauty'
Yep, this happened when the wife and I went to a hotel in Utopia, TX. We arrived in the early afternoon and looked around town, nice small town folks. We went back to the hotel after dinner. I went for a walk along the river, along the hotel grounds, to see the beautiful Cypress trees. When the sunlight began to fade away I went back to the room where my wife was getting ready to settle in. An eerie feeling immediately had come over the two of us. When I mentioned this, my wife just about burst into expletives, “YES, YES, YES”, she agreed. We tried to go to sleep. We talked and agreed to leave, even though we had paid for the night. By that time it was just after midnight. We quickly packed up and quietly started pulling out of the parking lot. The proprietor happened to be outside and hailed us for a question. As he questioned us, three other adults came out of his room/apartment. He asked several questions about why we were leaving. We made up some lame excuse and quickly left. Weird, weird, weird, what the hell was he doing outside that late? Why was he so very curious about why we were leaving? We had paid the bill. Why did several adults come out to join him as he yelled across the parking lot? We absolutely made the right decision and were glad to leave.
Holy moly you were going to get robbed ..or worse.
This is absolutely WILD, so glad you both are safe. Wow.
Too bad you didn't tell him the truth.
@@brendathomas7173 What good would that have done? And if the proprietor was an element of the perceived threat, it could have been dangerous.
That's cool that you and your wife were feeling the same vibes.
TBH, since you are out alone and seemingly unarmed, you have way too much stuff outside of your vehicle. You need to be able to leave quickly if necessity requires.
Phone and keys on you at all times and vehicle doors closed and locked.
Personally, I understand my vulnerability and am armed when I am alone away from my home.
Paranoid? Nope. Realistic. Will I run into a bad guy? Probably not. But that's what everyone thinks.
Or a bear, all that cooking....unarmed...
IT WOULD BE STUPID NOT TO MY DEAR
If you're off by yourself...be prepared.
I AM SOOO GLAD U TEXTED HER THAT ! I ALSO SAID SIMILAR THINGS IN A GRANDMOTHERLY TYPE OF WAY. SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN AND SOME YOUNG MEN GET INTO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF NOT REALLY BELIEVING WE LIVE IN A FAIRLY DANGEROUS WORLD NOW. SURE WOULD BE SOOO SAD IF SHE DID END UP IN A BAD SITUATION DUE TO NOT THINKING SENSIBLY. SUCH A PRECIOUS YOUNG PERSON .
Thats exactely hoe i think. 🎉
A few years ago I had gone hiking with a group of friends in an isolated and somewhat overgrown nature reserve. There were miles of trails, some almost impassable so the going was slow. After an hour and a half we came to a very steep uphill climb and I decided to turn around and head back to my car. The rest of the women decided to continue for a while so I went back alone. I was fine going back alone since the sun was a few hours from setting. About a half a mile into my return I began to feel a sense of dread that I’ve never experienced while hiking. I was sure something or someone was following me although at first I didn’t hear anything. The longer I walked the more pronounced the feeling became, and I began hearing sounds of footsteps a few yards behind me in the tangled brush of the woods. It kept my pace and stopped when I stopped to look behind me. I saw nothing, but the overwhelming sensation that I needed to run took over. I ran faster than I have in years, stumbling and ripping up my arms and legs on denser parts of the trail. I finally saw some hikers coming toward me. I felt embarrassed but I told them what happened. They walked with me back to my car, but turned to go on the trail. I tried calling my friends but there
was no cell service . When I finally reached them I could tell they were poo pooing my experience. Last year while I was doing volunteer work, we got to talking about our local hiking trails. One woman said that she and her friends vowed never to go back to the nature reserve. We shared our stories, and an elderly man told us that the area abutted a compound of a very strange family who were well known to law enforcement. They apparently had several youngish sons with terrible rap sheets. Needless to say, I have never returned, but I do know that something was out there watching me .
wowww thank you for sharing this story. You never know when a bad feeling could save your life.
Never never go off alone.
That's usually a sign of a Bigfoot nearly 😅
You were spot on with you intuition and awareness!! If you would have ignored these feelings to turn and burn you may have become a missing 411 case!! Godbless
I think it's very important to point out Missing 411. The point of separation when somebody decides to go back to camp or go on up ahead while the others return... There have been many many many instances where people go missing and are never found again. Being near water and granite outcroppings as well as sudden weather changes. Please don't dismiss these indicators. They are very real. You can purchase a personal locator beacon that can save your life. Anyone who hikes solo but I would suggest anyone who is an isolated wilderness situations should have one, regardless of whether they've been out in the wilderness for years or not. Also the feeling of dread, being followed, or just getting an intense feeling that you should leave, is definitely connected to Bigfoot as well as several other creatures that I won't name as I said Bigfoot is probably enough to make you roll your eyes. They can project these feelings in order to make you leave their territory. Please research David Paulides Missing 411 as well as howtohunt.com. be fair and research these subjects with an open mind. David Paulides is a retired police officer. How to hunt, Steve Isdahl has been a hunting guide for over 20 years and spends over 250 days a year in the wilderness alone. God Bless and be Safe ❤
That feeling is a natrual instict that has allowed our species to thrive and stay alive. Your instincts will never fail you if you act upon them swiftly like you did here.
Not true. Your gut is always lying. Only women listen to their gut. Men understand that fear is always present and you use its power. @me
It NEVER hurts to follow that gut feeling. The only thing it costs you is a little bit of gas.
Among quite streams and stone, Satan's footsteps can wrath loud as thunder!
Hi. I was on the road solo for 3 years camping across the Southwest. The feeling of “I need to get out of here” hit me at least 3 times over 3 years. I trusted my gut each time and left whether it meant packing up camp or not. It might have saved my life. Good job trusting yourself. ✌️🤘
Always trust those instincts. People tend to shrug them off and many times don't live to regret their judgement. Better to be safe than sorry. Women's intuition is actually an amazing safeguard we never should ignore.
There’s no such thing as women’s intuition. It’s actually subordinate’s intuition. Women feel it in patriarchal societies because they are subordinate to men in the social hierarchy.
@@randyholloway920 not true, women are more intuitive, it's documented. Look it up!☺
Or a dog....travelers should always have one...or two...orrrrrr
@@randyholloway920 What about all of the Matriarchal societies, where men are/were subordinates?
When you get that weird feeling to leave a wilderness area its always a good idea to do so. Good move, theres weird stuff out there.
Having lived and travelled solo in my camper van for 2 1/2 years - if you're getting a bad vibe - just go. I seldom felt that way but once I'd put a few kilometers between me and the weird vibe I felt, and slept, much better.
Other times I'd scope out a sleeping spot in the day and I felt great however when I returned at night something was 'off' so I'd find an alternate sleeping area. You did the right thing. We can never know what trouble we have avoided - we can only regret the trouble we unnecessarily invited. Here's hoping we never have to think, 'I should have known better'.
💥I’m glad you listen to your gut instinct. Obviously it’s there for a reason!!
I am a solo female camper, you need to listen to your spidy senses. It only happened to me twice, but no regrets as I have never had any bad experiences.
Satan strays in forest earth! Among locust swarms and night crawlers, their faded call warn you of evil's presence!
@@prettynoose8497they call me ham. They call me pickle. But mostly they call with only a nickel.
For me, I wouldn’t be comfortable camping close to rushing water because I couldn’t hear something bad sneaking up on me. Maybe that was part of what made you want to leave
I was on a business trip and got so freaked out at a hotel around 10:30 PM I left. Definitely chilled to the bones. I got to another hotel and slept with the Gideon bible on my chest.
I am in awe of crows. They are so passionate and caring. So loyal and intelligent.
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT!!! Even if it seems foolish to you. Your body is sensing something that is making you uncomfortable and when you can't see or hear what it is, you have to trust it. You did the right thing. You may never know what it was that made you feel uncomfortable, but you did the right thing.
YES!!!!! ❤
Satan lurks in shadows of forest earth. Poisoning the mind of the ill fated that neglect Fate's Warning!
This feeling has hit me several times while hiking.I am older and have hiked nearly.1000 times in my life. Two of these times I looked right at a bear watching me. Other outdoorsmen have experienced the same thing. Biologists theorize it is a physical response to early man olfactory senses being activated.
I had a similar experience when visiting Petroglyph National Monument outside Albuquerque on a solo road trip through NM. After spending the night at a hotel, I had hiked way out in the park and had been studying the petroglyphs for an hour or so when I spotted a tall guy watching me from some distance away. There was no one else at the park. He realized I had seen him, then he saw me making a getaway to a different trail, he started walking fast and furious towards me. I diverted away but he followed. My hair was standing on end and could feel the evil vibes. Thankfully, a family of tourists with children arrived at the park and were walking in my direction so I waved and yelled hello and started hollering to them like I knew them, walking fast in their direction. The stalker stopped at a short distance from me, but was close enough I could see his psychopathic blank stare, realizing his prey had slipped away. I joined the family, speaking to them, then beat it back to my car and drove away while he watched me. I made tracks to Santa Fe, watching my rearview mirror all the way. Chilling experience.
Holy shit.
U DID tell this family of this predator, didn’t u??!! U better have!! Especially beings the had children!!
Last year I was headed down to the outer house got about their and all sudden had a feeling of being watched. It was 700 in morning . I stopped and a cougar was slouched down thirty ft from me .
He was same color as the grasses and was hard to see.
I ask him what he was doing up by my cabin.
He realized his cover was blown. He came off the ground and did a 160 in the air and was gone . He was a full grown cougar... My hackles were in full danger mode.
One of my cousins has property abutting desert. They get frequent "visists" from a cougar who lounges on the partial wraparound deck outside the kitchen. He likes to sit out in the morning with his coffee. Like a routine he says he taps on the glass door, then unlocks it & slides it open. Cougar takes off leaping off. He gets a kick out of shooing the "big cat" away as he calls her/him. They think the morning sun is a draw.
I like the image of a cougar enjoying a morning coffee on your friend's deck 😂
@@jeanbell7922 my cousin gets a kick out of it. When he knocks on the sliding door and opens it he says it's "off you go. My turn." His wife isn't amused but then she doesn't like animals or nature or anything in nature. She doesn't even like hanging outside at all. She's a from the door to the car to a bldg type of person which is weird because she grew up on a midwest farm but hates the outdoors.
I had a place I liked to sit at in a park. Sitting with my dog reading the paper when I heard:Leave Now. A man in a delivery truck not far. Realized how secluded I was. Didn’t fold the paper just threw it in the car. You hear about crimes of opportunity. Leave Now. I’ll never forget.
I was reading the comments and came across yours and I’m so glad you followed through with leaving. I always tell everyone to follow their intuition it always alerts you, if you pay attention and listen. I understand in your case you heard the warning and that happened to me before I was being invited to a party by my ex that was when I was young of cause and immediately I was warned not to go and why. When I told him exactly what was told to me and told him to tell his sister she can eat herself the witchcraft she was preparing for me in the food he opened his eyes wide, was shocked and asked how did I know it just slipped out of his month. All that time they had a plan for me and it didn’t work for them. Thank you Jesus 🙏
It’s so strange, those intuitive moments of needing to leave somewhere. But good to trust the instincts.
I feel that having left multiple campsites due to bad vibes over the years, is why Im still around. Always listen to that feeling, never stay anywhere with weird vibes, ever. You definitely did the right thing leaving!
I’ve been on an old back road and suddenly had a massive feeling of dread. I was with a male friend. Although he didn’t say anything to me or me to him he was experiencing the exact same thing. We discussed it about a year later not knowing we were both experiencing the same feeling. Our intuition I’m sure is an old survival tool. Trust your gut.
I'd say it's better safe than sorry. I was going east out of Utah through the desert at night of course, and man talk about the feeling of people watching and moving about. It almost felt crowded. But a good feeling not hateful at all. Thank goodness.
Some years ago, I worked for a market research company. My job was to gather data from selected households in certain neighbourhoods.
I loved interacting with the people and families I met. Most of them were really nice and friendly.
One afternoon, I knocked on the door of a particular house and a middle aged man answered my knock. I introduced myself and explained that his household had been selected for this particular research. He agreed to participate and invited me in.
But something in me suddenly warned me not to go inside. I had a quick flash of insight that something may happen if I went in. It was a really strong feeling.
I suddenly came up with the excuse that I was running late and that I would come back another day. I was glad to get out of there.
I told my supervisor about the incident but she did not believe me.
But I managed to persuade her to skip that house and select another. I honestly feel that something would have happened to me that day if I had gone in.
When you hear the voice say ‘go’, one needs to go immediately. It’s saved me numerous times. I believe they are my guardian angels.
It sounds like the crow might have possibly been your savior? Always follow your initial gut feeling, instinct, intuition, and/or vibe... whatever you want to call it. There was a reason that you felt that way. The crow probably had your answer.
Imo, doesn't matter what's off, if you feel somethings off and you want to go, absolutely go! I've never regretted listening to my gut. Loved every part of this vid.
Always, always trust your instincts. They are there for a reason. You did the right thing by leaving.
In my culture (Australian Indigenous) its believed that Crows are ancestors and I think in American Indigenous beliefs, its the same. Ravens and crows are spirits
So i think because you were visited in the carpark by the raven, it was a sign that you were being either protected or warned. I feel it was a warning and that's why you felt uneasy. You seem like a very connected person and the warning may of been to protect you from negative spirits.
Well done on sticking by your intuition ❤ Stay safe ❤
Make sure to go swimming in a large body of water to cleanse all negative energy (or spirits) attached to you ❤
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Everyone should absolutely 100% honor that gut feeling. NEVER ignore it. ♥
I loved living in Silver City years ago,but the Cliff Dwellings,and Turkey Creek hot spring, I only went there twice,because of exactly what you felt. I got the feeling the people that dwelled there may have been in physical form 800 years ago,but their spirits were still there,and didn't like being disturbed. Never felt comfortable. I much preferred Faywood,or if I had time to camp,San Francisco Hot springs. 2 rivers in 1. 1 hot, and 1 cold.
It's a beautiful area,full of history and ghosts. You honored your intuition and did the right thing. Ty for the memories. Take care.
That's what I thought, too. Something spirit related made her feel uncomfortable. If you can't do music at a place, something is really off.
And it only started after she visited the mountain dwellings.
I would make it a habit to friendly greet the inhabitants with inner voice or out loud, tell them I respect their place and dont want to disturb them, keep my vibes positive and leave with friendly wellwishing. Can never hurt.
And yes, always listen to inner warnings, odd feelings. That is our intuition, drawing our attention to a possible danger or to some spirit not approving of the disturbance.
When you feel like something is telling you to leave, it is wise to leave. When I am at cliff dwelling or especially petrographs I feel an affinity with the people of long ago. I feel I am among friends.
I was gonna say ghosts...
One of the commenters here mentioned that ravens warn people when there is danger…indeed they do… they are definitely not ugly. Follow your feelings (when they tell you to get out - danger).
That uncomfortable feeling as a Christian Is the Holy Spirit protecting you…
I have been in many situations that I know I was protected from harm.
From roads to walking out of a store to people approaching me or even getting on an elevator or crossing a street…❤
Thank you Lord Jesus for the protection of the Holy Spirit.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amen!!
Love what you said, Elizabeth. I am a Jesus follower....I stay close to Him and He stays close to me.....there is no power in the world like the power of Christ through the Holy Spirit....sometimes I get those danger feelings when there is a demon nearby....rare, but sometimes it is not a human or an animal. As it says in Ephesians 6, when we are born again and close to Jesus, we have a spiritual enemy who loves to yank our chain. But Christians have power and authority over demonic beings. Blessings!
Amen

If that’s true, the Holy Spirit is selfishly selective in those that he decides to warn and protect!
@@mariannesouza8326
A person relationship always gives you a different outcome.😉🙏🏼😁
When that feeling comes over you, in the wild, it usually means that a predator is watching you. It's also the same feeling, that people report, just before they have an encounter with a bigfoot.
Predator yes but Bigfoot?
@@sdw2is People that have had encounters with them say that they first feel like they're being watched, or a feeling of fear and dread comes over them before the encounter.
Fortunately, bigfoot/sasquatch are generally docile but they don't care for those with guns, and especially when they're directly threatened by them, a very unwise move.
@2lipToo totally agree. I am a sensitive and they feel very threatened by humans. They are proactivve in protecting their clan and children.
@@2lipToo Produce a real carcass or STFU!
It looks so peaceful with the music and all .
NEVER FORGET :
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
THE BIRDS THE LEAVES THE ANIMALS wil tell you all you need to know .
And your gut tells you all you need to know.
Its got me through war and really skeathy times & areas
Intuition. Instinct. There for good reasons.
If you have a visit from a Raven, not everyone is as blessed, then know that Raven came to warn you off an "Ill omen". You already know this to be true as your gut feeling had kicked in along with your common sense. That's 3 warnings!!! What are you waiting for? Get the heck out of there and you are saved from a certain ? Yeah. Raven is your friend. Give him a peanut or something to say ThankYou from the bottom of your ❤️ now you know.💞
You can cook with beer too❤.the bird you saw is a Rook. Or Raven. When I get those weird feelings, I feel like it’s the Holy Spirit warning me. And I listen too. May God always keep you safe🕊🙏🏻❤️🌈💯
My girlfriend and I were playing under a waterfall near our campsite. We both suddenly had the feeling that we had to leave. When we made it back to camp, we heard this loud roar coming from the stream. When we went back to look, a huge brown wall of water was rushing down into the canyon. We later heard from someone else that a beaver dam had given way upstream. Had we not left the waterfall, we would have been swept several thousand feet down into the canyon. Trust your instincts.
When your instincts say leave... it's for a good reason, usually because there's danger lurking in the shadows.
I get it. 4 yrs in my van. Once inawhile I just have to leave. Just a feeling. Ya just leave. There's a reason even if you never know what it was. Vibes
That crow is so beautiful and I’m surprised that he got so close to you. They are very good at alerting everyone when a coyote is in the neighborhood.
Probably cause you called the raven ugly…..lol. But, really your intuition speaks volumes. Traveled for 6 weeks solo camping and I often chose to move on just because it didn’t feel right.
When you got back to the campsite, and got out. No noise. No birds nothing. A sign a predator is around.
Yes. Thank you.
That's GOOD commentary.
It’s always good to trust your instincts, especially when traveling alone. I’m so glad that you moved to a more public place. Safe travels and do be careful young lady. See you in the next one. ❤
It's okay Emma! If that was the way you felt and you had the need to leave where you were, it's okay. Don't beat yourself up because of it. That was a beautiful place you were camped. I loved the old ruins. You recognized the beauty of the places you visited; absorbed the energy from the area and then somewhere else was calling you. It's cool! Thanks for taking us along. Be safe out there on the road!
Thank you for your kindness! :)
Always trust your gut instinct. ALWAYS. Your subconscious knows things you haven’t realised. You made the right call. Peace
Beautiful video. Good instincts. Ravens are spiritual guides according to Native Americans. I work in the woods and every single time they come around I end up facing off coyotes or bear. They're excellent guides and that wise black bird was helping you out.
I am 70+ years old, ALWAYS listen to your instinct! You just never know in this day and age what's going to happen ! You are a brave girl, smart and full of life, keep it that way! ❤ Stay safe, God bless and keep you, always, Amen.
Years ago my husband and I were remote camping in Washington State. We had just gotten up the second morning, looked at each other and said let's go home. Something's wrong. Drove the four hours home to find a phone message from our daughter on the East Coast. She had been in a car accident and was in the hospital. We took the next plane out. If we hadn't had that feeling, it would have been a week before we made it home.
Chills
I loved when you ran at us shouting "you gotta look behind you!" Felt like I was there! Nice video.
I like to keep a couple of cans of Fix-a-Flat in my rig but will probably switch over to that tire Slime thing with the compressor. I'm glad that you have a tire compressor though as it's definitely good to have in your rig, even if only when you need to deflate your tires for additional traction, then you can pump them back up again.
Always, always, ALWAYS listen to your gut / intuition. That's the primitive part of your brain warning you of danger and you did the right thing by leaving when you did. I am so glad that you did! If you notice, you tried to rationalize it, which is completely normal, and why some people don't live to tell their stories. I'm glad you lived to tell yours. Stay safe out there and I will see you somewhere down the road!
Fix-A-Flat is a one time use. You'll need to replace that tire.
ALWAYS listen to that voice and leave Emma! Dont even question it. Our intuition keeps us safe! Love the relaxing music on your channel. Im an avid camper so feel your pain about car cooking lol you are so brave! Keep it up!! One day these memories are going to be priceless!
i always listen to my feelings. you can't out-distance them. there's really nothing worse than finding yourself in a horrible position when you had a palpable foreboding.
TRUE
Good choice 👍 if you feel like you're being watched then you are. I got the same feeling when I was exploring Yellowstone Park
When solo camping always listen to your inner voice and follow your instincts, you many never know why you left but I believe God gives us those feelings for a reason. I'm glad you're safe and don't feel bad, just keep truckin' lol. PS: I'm a 71 year old female and went solo car camping about 20 years ago in Alaska before it was a popular "thing" to do, in bear country nonetheless, you just have to stay in tune and do what feels right. Enjoy your adventure!
Beautiful, quiet place, but even with the sound off, it has a funeral-type atmosphere, even in the sunshine. I think the crow was just warning you off, just in case...after all, they can fly out of most trouble, and humans cannot. Lovely calcite (?) crystals in those rock specimens--that, alone, was worth a quick visit!
I had a bad feeling while camping with a group
. I thought I'd better go before this storm hits and my tires weren't so good. When I got to cell range, my phone rang. It was my wife telling me our basement flooded from a broken pipe.
Follow that gut feeling.
Beautiful raven stopped by to share a message with you. ❤️
Glad you trusted your intuition.
Suddenly needing to leave sounds like an effect of Sasquatch!!!!!
Good video. You do not need to know why. This happened to me when I was visiting my sister in Norfolk, VA. I got the sudden feeling to leave, which surprised her. Nothing untoward had happened. Everything was good. Just something said go. So I did. As I was driving out of Norfolk, I looked back over the city and there was a very odd large storm formation right over the city; the clouds were dark and had a greenish look to them which is usually a sign of a tornado. I called my sister later and no storm broke, just became very cloudy. Weird experience. Best not to ask why, follow your intuition, and then let it go and do not worry about it anymore.
True about green tinted skies!
Been there, camped there, all cool! The ravens are checking out any food left in the open all the time. Saw havalina nearby, the cliff dwellings are cool. US Park Service Rangers are on hand. From the hike up too the visitors center. Lets face it, is was Apache country near Silver City, NM. Big country, with wild animals and lots of wilderness. But it is a neat place to visit and camp. It was Gerinimo's growing up home.
It is an omen ! Holy Angels protection. You have no idea what those other people may have been doing or planning in the desolation! You are very brave and smart to leave when you did 👏👏👏. I applaud you and listening to your inner spirit !
Glad you got the vibe.Crows are smart They have social awareness No being is ugly
Had to flee a nice spot at a lake in Germany one night, strange folks trying to open my door, thank God my dogs made them run. I hopped behind the wheel stark naked (it was summer) and LEFT! Spent the night on a deserted Lidl parking lot. And felt much safer there...
I love lidl.
@@niraku321 what country are you from? I found that Lidl differs a lot depending on the country.
US
Always stay dressed when camping and have your phone and keys in case you need to make a speedy exit.
@@niraku321 is it catching on in the States? I heard they made huge losses so far.
I’m so glad you honored your gut instincts. Your subconscious will notice things way before your logical frontal lobe can even begin to come online. Our ancestors weren’t like lions on the food chain, they were like rabbits. We still have that instinct. You could have subconsciously noticed some type of nature sound stop, or start, which would indicate a predator was near. You could have smelled something strange on the wind. You could have noticed a small change that your logical brain was paying no attention too because you were busy but that rabbit instinct screamed run.
Once this lady got attacked by a man and when she replayed exactly what happened, she realized he came in her building behind her but she never heard a buzzer, even though she didn’t see him near her when she came in. He had waited for her to come in and then ran up from where he was hiding and grabbed the door before it closed. Unfortunately even though she felt uneasy, she ignored her feelings because she didn’t know why.
I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to my instincts, no matter what. Good people will want you to be safe and understand you being cautious. Everyone over the age of 12 knows how dangerous it is to be a woman in this world. Predators, however, want you to doubt yourself and will try to manipulate you by saying you shouldn’t be scared or try to shame/guilt you into ignoring your instincts. That’s a red flag signaling stop, back away, be ready to defend yourself, get to safety away.
This has happened to me a few times. A distinguishable time was when a bad feeling overcame me out of no where. My husband turned to look at me and asked if I had a bad feeling. We got up and left immediately. Never knew what it was.
Emma i feel your anxiety, glad to see you eating well. Thanks for the video stay safe and healthy, oh yeah you have the most angelic singing voice.

Im also in a van in New Mexico. If you haven't been there yet, a nice campsite is luna campground! Theres only about 5 sites total and it gets dark enough that you can see all the stars! It has a very nice gravel road you can hike as well to various peaks, mix of forest/mountains and plains
I went there last weekend and as a solo traveler i felt quite safe
I am glad you followed your intuition, I have never regretted when I have, but I damn sure have regretted when I haven’t.
Awww, they’re not ugly. They’re beautiful. Always, always go with your gut.
You are being SMART. We humans have special radar or senses and if we pay attention and especially in a quiet place, that’s our protection. WELL DONE!!
Those are most likely calcite crystals growing on the basalt rock- you’re very interesting, your personality is just so calming! As far as feeling that you needed to leave, it’s good you did; as a retired law enforcement officer I can tell you there were a few times I felt uneasy in certain locals while on duty, in the dark and watched my back diligently!
You also might have attracted an ancient spirit at the cave dwellings; I’m not superstitious but I am spiritual, and we as the living spirits are not alone in this reality!
Glad you are sensitive to your intuition. As a woman camping alone and especially with an unpredictable tire situation & light on the dash, it's great you can listen and err on the side of caution. May God bless you as you discern how to be safe and happy.
Always follow your gut it's never wrong. I feel especially in van life always always pay attention.
Many years ago I was standing on a train platform and something told me to step to my left I started to ignore it but I stepped to my left and someone went right past me onto the tracks exactly where I had been standing onto the tracks in front of the on coming train. The person was killed if I had not moved I would have been possibly knocked on the tracks in front of him and killed.
You should NEVER pull into a campsite, ALWAYS back in so you can leave in a hurry if necessary.
I was backed in at all times! I back in every time I park anywhere. Sometimes I have to pull in forward and do a 7 point turnaround to be facing the road though haha
I think that seeing the crow got you spooked. Not because you were afraid of it, but because it felt like a harbinger of something bad, and that is why you called it "ugly." I think that stayed with you back to the campsite and you just wanted out of there. There are signposts in life if we watch for them. It could be a missed appointment, turning the wrong way, missing a phone call, or other things we believe are inconveniences, but are really guidance to go another way. Often when we keep pressing forward and ignoring the signs is when things REALLY don't work out well, and we wish we had paid attention.
Crows and Ravens are awesome birds. Super smart and beautiful! Not ugly. With that said, you have to trust your instincts and whatever told you to leave was for a reason.
It’s good you listen to your inner voice, and left the area. As a Christian I call that the Holy Spirit. It’s there to protect you. You should always listen to it. Praying you have safe travels and fun adventures. 🙏🏻 😊
I wouldnt go somewhere so remote like this alone no matter how beautiful. I probably wouldnt even drive there.
I car camp all around the United States as well and I get this feeling sometimes too. Just gotta go with the flow
Always, but always trust your gut feelings, never second guess them. It's saved my life over the years countless times.
You're very smart to listen to how you're feeling, they're are a lot of crazy people living in our deserts, mountains, etc. I was around this man for about 5 minutes, I felt this overpowering feeling of evil around him and left, glad to know it wasn't just me when it happened to someone else too. I don't know what he was doing I just felt a very evil spirit being near him.
Always listen to that inner voice. If things feel wrong, then bug-out !
You did the right thing.
New Mexico is a spiritual and can be a spooky place. I have been here 35 years. I can tell you that I have had more than my fair share of indescribable (beautiful and fearful) moments.
NM is the creepiest place I've ever been, had so many weird experiences on just a 3 day trip to Roswell in 2000.
It's not just you. This whole weekend, nothing has been settled, I've been as skittish as a horse in a thunderstorm. Normal things are breaking, not in their usual places, electronics are weird, just everything is WRONG. It gets like this sometimes. Honor your feelings, and be protective of yourself.
Weird????? I hope things righten with you and yours, stay safe :)
That feeling of being watched can creep people out.
Always always follow your gut instincts- It will NEVER EVER lead you wrong. Listen and go!
I had that happen to me once---deep in the woods in Oregon--I drove 45 minutes to the coolest trail--there were some other vehicles in the parking lot but I saw no one--I headed up the gravel road to get to the trail head and then it hit me---the hair on my arms and neck stood up and all I can say is I had sort of a knowing awareness that I needed to leave NOW. So what is interesting to me is that when that happens and you listen--you get out due to discomfort--well, you never get to know what would have happened if you would have stayed but I tell you--the way I felt, I am sure that is a good thing! Glad you listened to that still, small voice/awareness that can register something a little extra beyond the senses and let you know to GO!
Wow Emma I'm so glad that you made that decision to leave always go with your gut like that I sense something special about you anyways and your decision kept you alive
I'm not sure if you know of or have ever heard of The reptilian Draco, but you are right in the middle of prime area for disappearances of people that claim that invisible portals people are disappearing in and then you can hear them screaming or hollering for help but there's nowhere to be seen things like that are happening all over that area I'm just so happy that you got that gut instinct that helps you to make the decision to leave I'm so proud of you
Always go with your gut! Thanks for sharing!
That's right ✅️
Don’t ever ignore that. I always regret not acting upon a feeling like that.
Experienced hunting guides say to trust your gut, if you're uncomfortable being in an area during the day, you sure don't want to be there after dark. Trust your gut, that instinct is there for your protection.
