    Out here in Colorado, my uncle Jim always said once when we were camping "If you're ever deep in a forest not near any major roads and all of the birds and animals go quiet, to leave the forest as fast as possible."

      PyroGhost913 If you think about it, I’m still right. All I said was a large predator, not narrowing it down to certain species and humans do fall under large predator. I’ve also experienced this before and this was a good hour of being in the woods and there was still activity. Maybe that’s just apart of Idaho’s weirdness 🤷‍♂️

      DooDoo_Burd /Illustrator,
      Wendigos aren’t only a tale against going off alone, they were also created to warn against cannibalism in Native American tribes. The way people become one is by killing and eating another person. This is also part of why they are associated with snow storms. During bad winter storms some people would kill family members for food. It’s speculated that the leaders came up with this legend (or interpreted a actually creature) to stop people from going off alone (like you said) and to warn against cannibalism. All of this depends on tribe, region, storyteller, etc, but it’s still very interesting

    My grandma told me a story about her grandma when she was a young child and her family had a close encounter with the wendigo in the trapline during the winter. Soon as they knew it was clear outside they packed up got the families on the dog sleds and rushed back to the community and she said those dogs ran and never stopped because they were scared of something in the woods. But that never stopped my family from hunting on the trap line in the bush in the winter.

    Idk what I saw when I was younger but it shook me to my core. I’m being fully transparent if nobody believes me that is ok. When I was young, maybe 8-9; I awoke to a sickening feeling that I was being watched. The best way I could describe this feeling was as if I had just had a near death experience and my adrenaline was high. I felt frozen in fear, eventually I mustered up the courage to just lift my head up with my neck in order to look around the room. My eyes eventually rested upon my doorway, and that is when I saw it. The moon illuminated its gaunt figure it was no more than 4ft tall, hairless, as well as pale white or light grey. I had laid my eyes upon it as it was slowly crawling on all fours. When I looked in it’s direction it’s head slowly turned and it’s gaze met mine. I am sorry to say I can’t remember it’s eyes, but I believe they were a solid black. Eventually I did what any kid would in that situation, I covered my head with the blankets to make it go away; it did not go away. Eventually I kept my blankets over my head and fell asleep. A full decade later and I hardly have nightmares anymore, but whenever someone brings up a similar looking creature I can’t help buck think back to that fateful night. Please don’t ridicule me for this story, it is what I saw nothing more, if anything I’d like for others to reply if they have similar stories.

      Hey I believe you, I had a similar experience, most people won't believe until it happens to them. I was younger (40yrs old now) I shared a bunk bed with my brother, I slept on the top bunk. This happened over many days I would wake in the middle of night and see a fog in the center of my room. One night I woke up and there was a figure standing in the middle of my room, it was a man forsure I screamed and my mother shot in there and turned the light on ...it was gone. Next night I wake up and im facing the wall , when I rolled over the figure was next to my bed looking at me between the bars of my bunk!!! I was terrified man, I jumped off the back of the back of the bed and ran to my mother's room crying I told her there was a man in my room, we both went to my bedroom door, I was behind her and she had her Bible in her hand. The figure was in the room still..she didn't see him. She raised her Bible into the room and said something I can't remember but as soon as she said it the figure ran past us and through my living room wall. To this day my mom will ask me if I seen that figure, she remembers that night as well.

    I’m a deer hunter up here in Ohio, we have this property of a friend whos tree farm went under and all the trees are overgrown making a thick forest, me and my dad were out one day when suddenly the birds and small vermin went silent. I thought nothing of it until I heard a breaking of branches a ways off. I readied my bow in hopes of a deer, but nothing. I soon relaxed myself a little and about an hour later the forest went back to normal. I always dismissed my experience as over active imagination, but I don’t know what could have been out there.

    I've always found it fascinating how these stories of human like animals or half human/half animal creatures have been a part of myth and folklore of every single culture on the planet. From bigfoot, sasquatch, The Yowie, Leshy, the African Bili Ape, the Wendigo, and many MANY others even going as far back as ancient Sumeria and stories of Enkidu. They've been a part of myths and legends for as long as they have, I think because of this innate fear that is imbedded into the human DNA of things that are ALMOST human but not quite. On on one hand you have stories of things that are for all tense and purposes animals, they look like an animal such as an ape or some other kind of biped but with human like intelligence, the ability to almost be smarter then humans, to make sounds like humans and even mimic human speech or screams. Then you have the stories of things that LOOK human, but are kind of "OFF", the ones that look human but have black eyes, or give the on looker a sense of unease in the way they move or speak. Even today, when you look at a person you can sort of get a sense of what there like and who they are by the way they act, move and hold themselves. But when you see something that your eyes is telling you is human or animal but then they dont act the way they should or the way your expecting them to, it makes you feel unsettled. And I think that is why these stories even exist in the first place and have persisted for as long as they have. Its this conflict between what the "modern" brain sees through the eyes clashing with what we consider to be human or with what the "reptile" brain can sense. Its really interesting if you think about it, because even though this all makes sense, it makes you wonder, was this always a fear that humans have had or was there SOMETHING that initially placed this fear and unease in human millions of years ago to begin with?

      There were groups of different early humans co-existing at the same time. In Europe, most have neanderthal genes but looks like homo-sapiens was more aggressive and the neanderthal disappeared. But we carry that in our bodies. Perhaps this memory persists somewhere in the amylglada (the ancient part of the brain) and why these stories go through most cultures. Plus we like to scare ourselves, some more than others!

So who's to say that some ancient part of the human DNA doesn't carry some of the same attributes, memories, fears or instincts that have been literally ingrained into our DNA.

      @@ad-ren-aline7466Thank you. And Yeah, that is true, So long as your talking about animals or people. Cause some people also want to lump the whole "subliminal spaces" in with the Uncanny Valley group, which is another really cool thing I'm interested in as well. But while I do think the two may be related to the same sort of "unease" that you get, I feel subliminal spaces are a WHOLE OTHER thing unto itself. The unease with subliminal spaces MAY be related to when early humans and neanderthals lived in caves. A sort of "early warning system" when humans would look into a cave to see if it was safe or not and see or sense that something was out of place to where it could be dangerous out of the brains sense of self preservation to make sure you didn't go in...lol. It's probably why a lot of people today wouldn't even think of entering a cave or old mine. I think when a place looks familiar but also out of place comes from a combination of natural and man made things and that's what gives certain areas that "off" feeling. It's much like how some people have what's called Submechanophobia, it's the fear of underwater man made objects. It's the combination of natural and unnatural that gives things that creep off vibe triggering the Flight response in Fight or Flight.

      Yeah but Leshy( from лес- forest) are not humans or humanoid apes. In Polish folklore they are more like spirits of the forest. Not all slavic countries have leshens or leshy in their folklore. Same with the Bigfoot and Wendigo. Those are British/ American stories with influence from the Navaho legends.

    Once while hunting with my dad in northern Canada we found ourselves on a random trail that lead to a turn around where there was a small lake. It was completely silent the whole time, silence you could hear…painfully noticeable. When I went to the end of the turn around to take a look at the lake I found an ouija board that had shot gun blasts all through it…still one of the scariest things I ever came across.

    I lived on a 1,600 acre ranch for over a decade, before moving away three years ago. I’ve learned a lot, but what i learned most, was if the woods were silent, you were in danger. I come from strong Native American roots, and i have a strong intuition that’s never lead me wrong. Ive never seen any creature i couldn’t explain, but when one of our cows died it shook me. I rode around the property daily, so i know its body hadn’t been there more than a day. I know how a cow looks when they first die: they get all swollen from the heat and buzzards will flock to it. But When i found her, she looked sucked dry inside and like she’d been there for weeks. I know she hadn’t. I’d fed her veggies from the garden only two days before. I can’t explain it, but my mind always goes to a Chupacabra. Theyre rumored in my area. Other than strange feelings about areas, thats the only “encounter” ive ever had. I dont know. I painted warding symbols on some of the trees and hadn’t seen another death like it again. Its been years and it still bothers me.

      The creature was 9 feet tall with pink skin and ice for hair. Its legs were to tall for its own body and the thing is they were all skin and bone, no muscles, no nothing. The torso was also nothing but skin and bones. You could see all the way to its rib cage. Its arms were dragging on the void ground as far as the feet. Its face had 2 void holes with nothing in them but I knew something was there. Its mouth was open with no teeth and only a void was there. Its voice was like scraping metal against concrete.
      Again if you know the name of this thing please tell me so I can put up the proper things. Thank you!

      While Wendigos usually are known to appear in winter, that might be less oriented around their limitations and more their symbolism.
      Winter was a time where food is hard to come by and resulted in more cannibalism than during the rest of the year. Wendigos are said to possess the bodies of people who commit such a crime.

    I had a weird experience a few months ago on my way home from work. I live in the country and was driving up my hill which is like half a mile up. As I hit the dirt road part I began to feel eyes on me and pulled into my parking spot. Got out with my knife I keep in my glove box and stare hard in the direction of where I felt I was being watched. Making sure my knife was visible I calmly said I know you’re there and for a moment everything went quite couldn’t even hear the nearby waterfall after about 10 seconds of pure silence something moved in the other direction away from me and all the sound returned again. I made sure to calmly go into the house feeling like running would have been a bad idea… haven’t felt anything like that since

They mimic family’s voice as well. He always heard it as a kid and dismissed himself as crazy. He then realized he wasn’t crazy when my uncle and his son said they saw a doppelgänger of my uncles son running around outside. It was him with messed up eyes. Anyways my animals are always barking at things and then go quiet. So now that everyone knows this can someone tell me if this is Wedigos or skin walkers? I’ve heard both but wendigos seem more relevant because someone told me they live in Eastern Mississippi.

    Was 8 years old in rural Maine. Had a tree fort I had built complete with shuttered window flaps to shoot my slingshot out of. There was also a natural hot spring nearby and a large ancient gnarled apple tree on a hill with nothing else growing around it on the small hill. Felt Old, ancient even. As an imaginative kid I loved to play pretend in the woods and they looked just like the 2nd stories background save for the large clearing and old apple tree. I might add yes, I have consumed apples from that tree... shouldn't have done that I'm thinking nowadays after learning and just knowing more through life experiences etc. But a bipedal almost baphomet esque creature with large elk like antlerrs leaned around a tree just far enough away to where the eye has a hard time seeing movement between trees (mid-long range for my slingshot) and I have always been able to pick out rabbits sprinting through grass, or tiny birds in bushes, squirrels gone complete stealth mode rigid on a tree. Always seeing animals nobody else is able to until I point it out. I saw the movement and TALL (maybe 7 feet including antler height) creature peering around the tree at me and my heart lurched, almost that cold acid feeling in your stomache. I RAN to my tree house and sprinted up to the ladder and looked around before practically skipping the ladder rungs 2 at a time. Got inside and grabbed a rock for my slingshot and just started shooting rocks into the woods in the direction I saw it. Not fun for an eight year old. Kept it to myself because I was that imaginative kid who nobody would believe for something like that.

You don't even need to be touched by it to die of asphyxiation or hyperthermia. Just being too close to it can kill you. Water only spreads the stuff, not put it out. There's a reason why between 1963 and 1973 over 388,000 tons of napalm was used by the US in Vietnam. It was one of the most effective weapons used in the conflict. Even if the US was beaten by North Vietnam, which it wasn't, it wasn't because napalm didn't kill enough NVA/VC and maim any survivors for the rest of their life.

    But I noticed it seems like they also feed on fear as much as flesh. They scare their victims and chase them, but really they should be able to catch these people. And they can't seem to come into a home uninvited unless the home is not secure such as an open window.

      But when you live in a world that has towers that literally “scrape the sky” it would be more terrifying to have one that can maneuver around such things.
      To answer your other question, I think it’s to play with there food. Out in the open it’s a none competition on who would win. It’s the same as in a house. But now you can get the enjoyment of making there “safe space” into a cage of fear.

  • @YoshLovesYou
    @YoshLovesYou 4 года назад +701

    Story 1 is pretty good. My main criticism is that there are moments that are too "literary" for a first-hand account. The narrator sometimes states things in a way that nobody would. A prime example: "I frowned to myself". Nobody ever describes such a thing during first-hand accounts because we feel the emotion rather than witness it. Another note: It's a common trope for gunshots to "throw back" a charging enemy, but it would be far more realistic and scary if they didn't.

    • @StreyX
      @StreyX 4 года назад +36

      The throw back thing could make sense given no one can be sure of the anatomy of what was being shot. Most modern wardens apparently use glocks with .40 cal bullets these days and under a certain mass, it would make sense if it was thrown back. What doesn't make sense is the creature sitting inside in the corner of the room doing nothing. Also, the whole thing about some another lady picking up when he tried to find the original caller is really suspect. Unless, the people in that town are say trying to lure folks for that monster; the equally implausible scenario is that creature somehow broke into that lady's home and made the call(while not eating her).

      End Log.
      Level 3 researchers and above only allowed further. Any level 2 or below researchers will be terminated.
      It’s multiplying and at a relatively quick rate. Around 5 are born a day. All are killed, until 3 months ago when one escaped. It was found and looked different from its mother. Instead of being a large hairy crocodilian esc creature, it was 5.83m tall and more humanoid. It has its own containment but seems more docile than its mother and intelligent. It’s also growing at a ever increasing rate. It is also male, it confirmed this. Research is ongoing.

    I have also had phone calls from those who don't exist anymore. I have heard a lot about this creature from many people. Spirits can become stuck in a loop reliving what happened when it was violent. The interesting part is that they contacted animal control. Very logical...it could mean they don't realize they have transitioned into spirit, or they are worried about someone who is living there. It happens more often than people might think. You did a great job narrating. It's not easy to go through something like that and not be able to talk to people about it. There are many things I cannot mention that I have experienced. It's good we have utube, at least you can release it to others which should feel better than keeping it inside completely. Take care and thank you for sharing.

    I've had a few weird encounters with a certain animal linked to skin walkers. coyotes. I was at a little tour with my father to see some long horned cattle (extremely friendly to people) and we had pet a few. on the way to tell stories about skin walkers, a coyote. we see a coyote moving TOWARDS the cattle.
