I was about 25. A young mother. I was On horseback in the woods, my horse was amazing to trail ride with....she suddenly refused to go into a slight clearing in the woods. I tried to urge her in , a couple times. She was really being stubborn. So, I turned her around . She almost hi tailed it home. As we pulled up to our property, prison guards were at the bottom of our driveway. They said Several violent prison escapees were being searched for. I told them my experience as I was un saddling my horse. I locked her in for the night. They were guarding all the driveways of my neighbors. The guards sent some men out in the direction I pointed out. There were cigarette butts in the clearing and a couple candy bar wrappers. The guards reported that I was likely walking into their hiding spot and my horse saved my life. Thank God for my horses intuition.
Wow, yes, thank God for your horse's senses. And it's good you didn't force your horse.
Isso seria o que ela está falando?
I no anderstand
@@silvaneandrade3476 His horse was aware there were dangerous men ahead and wouldn't go further, causing the owner to turn around and leave. It saved his life and he didn't know it until the guards told him of the dangerous escapees.
Aaaaaaaaand this is why I surround myself with animals (livestock and pets). Never-fail best alarm system ever.
i was out on a several day hike. i would take a ice fishing pole hiking so i could catch some fish. it was getting dark and i had a little ways to go before bedding down for the night. i had to go though some low branches. as i went thew them i heard something russel in the leaves behind me. i looked back and didn't see anything. i started walking again and i heard it again. i stopped and the noise stopped. i started walking again and there is was. about this time i thinking bears, big foot, or even aliens. something was following me. i started to hurry along and it sped up also. at this point i was scared shitless. i started to run and felt something pull on my backpack then let go, almost making me fall forward. the noise stopped. this was my chance to getaway. a ran to the shelter i was going to sleep at. taking off my pack i hit something sharp. it was a fishing hook and a few feet of line on it. then i realized it was my fishing pole had fallen out of my pack and was dragging on the ground back behind me and finally it got caught on something and the line broke. i kinda felt stupid running from my fishing pole.
oh my gosh thank you for the great laugh tonight!
LoL
Too funny !thanks for sharing. I needed a good laugh tonight !
Now I can picture that kind of thing happening just this way with me ....hahahahahaha then the relief of I get to live and calm down. Lol. Ty for sharing that.

😃..good one!
Goes to show how the imagination can work on us!
That would have been me! 😃
But to avoid that...I don"t go in the woods alone! Problem solved! ☺
I'm still laughing! Not at you but with you!
I really enjoy your channel. I too had a very creepy experience.
It was about 1973. My Grandfather had a cabin up in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Grandpa would take all of us kids up to the mountains. We were the only cabin up there for about 10 miles. My sister and I along with my two cousins loved to go exploring. We were never afraid. One summer, late morning we headed out after our breakfast. We were hiking for a couple of hours when we came across an old dilapidated very tiny cabin. The roof had fallen in and the front door was open. We peaked in to see what was inside. There was very old cooking equipment, along with what looked like large pans that were for panning gold. This cabin was very close to a stream. My cousin was curious if there were someones remains so he was digging through the debre. We all felt a very creepy vibe so we headed out. We always followed the stream back to our cabin. After we left walking along the stream there was a loud man's voice that said HEY so loudly. It felt like someone screaming directly into our ears, it hurt. We froze. We were looking around thinking there was a man maybe hiding behind a tree or something. There was no one. We were so frightened we could hardly say anything. Then we started running. We looked back and there was still no one. Keeping in mind this was a very remote area. When we were close to our cabin we decided to stop and talk about it. My sister said it felt like someone was about an inch away from her ear screaming. We all had the same feeling. Our eardrums were still ringing. We decided not to tell our Grandparent's anything.
After this we never went hiking in that direction again. This is the first time I have ever spoken of this in 49 years.
Sounds like some kind of paranormal activity 😮
Wow, I've never heard anyone speak of a disembodied voice being anything close to that loud before!
@@thelittlelenora It was the scariest thing we all had experienced. It felt like someone screaming in all of our ears at the same time. You could feel the energy so close.
😂
Love your show. I do have a story from my mum. I'm in Australia and this happened during the depression when my mum was a little girl. My grandpa was travelling by car around through rural Queensland (a northern state of Australia). One late afternoon my grandpa, grandma, mum, her sister my aunt and her brother, my uncle decided to camp instead of staying in a hotel. It was a beautiful evening and they stopped close to a river. They had seen other travellers who were camping close by. They felt safety in numbers so it would be fine. Grandma started making preparations for dinner and grandpa put up camp beds and made a fire for the night. Then as the light started to fade they both realized that the noises in the bush had stopped and the other campers were gone. They hadn't seen them leave either. Grandma said to grandpa we have to leave now, immediately. Mum recalls grandpa throwing water on the fire, the camp beds and food stores along with the children into the car and drove off as fast as they could. Mum recalled lying on top of something really uncomfortable because suit case was on top of her and one of her siblings legs or elbows jammed into her side. They didn't stop until reaching the next town where they stopped at the local pub. The owner came out to see them and enquired if they were staying, of course they were staying. The owner said dinner was cooking so took them to some rooms to settle in. Over dinner grandpa and grandma retold what had happened by the river. The owner and his wife were very disturbed because there had been a number of people murdered where they had just been camping. Police had not caught whoever was attacking travellers. Mum said it was terrifying. Hope you get to read this. 🤗
M
Thanks to grandma probably saved your life (a wise lady)
Yiks. Do you wonder if the camping neaghbors where killed and that's why you did not see them go??
And nomads say if you don't feel right don't stay move on.
So glad your family was safe
I have shivers running through my body! 💯 % Grandma saved everyone and grandpa listened to his wife. Thats terrifying.
My wife divorced me after 20 yr marriage. I came across your channel and I'm drawn to this episode . So I live by myself , and every couple months I put this episode on as I'm going to bed. And just take it in , how you describe things , sound of the fire cracking. The calm atmosphere with quiet pauses of reading. Nice background music. Listen to some of your stories. I don't feel so alone , as I get comfy in my bed. It's a great episode , so thank you , and have a goodnight .
glad you enjoy it! thanks and sorry bout your situation
Take care
Hi nosey Wales. I read that your wife divorced you after 20 years of marriage. I am the same, my man walked out for another after 18 years of living together , so in know what its like to be on your own. I have to admit I quite like it now if I am honest! Anyway, I love watching
Sorry, I ment hello j osey Wales and my keyboard typed nosey, I do apologise.
“My wife divorced me after 20 yr marriage”...”I don’t feel so alone.” Wow...I’m so sad for you to not have someone to call yours. I wish you every happiness.
Not only is the video lovely, the comments, and reading everyone's scary stories is a special treat.
i knowwwww! the stories.....
@@therealgirlinthewoods from the description you gave it sounds like it was a cow or a farm animal, esp since you were next to a field
My scariest was when I was living out of my tear drop camper I built while I was building my first off grid place. It was just me and my dog, Pugi, 8 miles off the main road down an old jeep trail. No one around. Middle of the night woke up to coyotes laughing and kackling like they do when they are on the hunt. Then all of a sudden there was the loudest growl, howl, screaming sound I ever heard. Didn't sound far away at all. Maybe 30 yards. No idea what kind of animal would make that kind of sound. The area has elk, maybe bears, free range cattle, bob cats, but I can't imagine any of them making this extremely loud, horrific sound. Imagine a low pitch growl like a bear mixed with a high pitch scream. I was convinced it was sasquach. Scared the crap out of me. So glad I was in a hard shell camper with a lockable door and not a tent.
yep night sounds..... !
Its not a sasquatch haha its a mountain lion they can make screaming sounds and baby sounds
There is a video of two lynx fighting on a dirt road and it is THE scariest sound I have ever heard. You should watch that video to see if that is what you heard. They make that sound when they are threatened.
Mountain lions sound like that .Them and bobcats sound like a woman screaming.I grew up with noise like that..
Scott carpenters book “truth denied”. And “the Nephilim among us.” The Sasquatch are out there and they have multiplied. People need to be aware that hike and hunt in the forests. Also Steve isdahl’s channel. How to hunt. He reads emails of hundreds of thousands of people’s experiences who wrote in because their friends laughed at them. And now they know they are not alone.
My spooky story. I've been mountain biking in the Black Hills of South Dakota for over 25 years, and even though we have elk, coyote, mountain lion and the occasional bear, the only time I was afraid in the forest was when I rode Old Baldy Mountain near Spearfish alone. It happens every time I go there, which is only about once every 5 years. The trail is a 6 mile loop and no matter which direction you take, it drops down a large hill before it begins to crest the hill/mountain called Old Baldy. The first time I explored it, I was at the intersection where both ends of the trail meet on the other side, and there is a spur that goes up to the top of the hill at that point. The hill itself has a great view which makes lunching there worth all the work it's going to take to come back to the trailhead. HOWEVER, the beginning of the spur is an entirely different story. Every time I ride or hike that section, the words from Wizard of Oz go through my head (lions and tigers and bears oh my) and just as the hill begins, it never fails - I hear the sound of someone carrying metal rushing up behind me and every time, I hop off the bike to face whatever is trying to scare me.... and nothing. There's no animals, there's no people, even the sound is gone. I stand there for a few minutes waiting for my heart rate to go back no normal and finish the ride/hike. You couldn't pay me to camp out there overnight.
There's a RUclipsr backpacker who told a story about hiking at night trying to catch up with her camp. In doing so she crossed through another camp and saw someone following her with a flashlight after she passed through. Her fear continued to grow as she realized the 'person' was still following her to the point she started running to then trip and fall. Finally she realized it was the rising moon, so ya, your mind can play tricks on ya.
That was Dixie, right? Homemade Wanderlust (name of her channel). That was a great story😂
I read that story...
@@carolbeckett6215 I saw her talk about it on her RUclips channel.

Hilarious.
Reading spooky stories, while camping in the woods on your own.
That's hardcore!
Lol
Me thinks the same, she'z craze.
Then the alarm goes off (the dog).....to extreme for me. This lady has bawlz.
For reals hahaha
I ❤👍 that fur hat-- what is it & where did u get it-- alaska???😁 I'm getting some of ur older videos , very coo👍😊 that is one pretty collie- lassie,,, dog🐕🤗 be safe👏💕
You mentioned the cremation story of someone, a book. Well I was a funeral director and embalmer, was my profession. During my training I worked as a funeral assistant, often with setting up for visitations, closing up the funeral home after a visitation, closing of a grave etc.. . I don't have any scary stories about embalming but what I do have are real stories about things, smells, drastic temperature changes, breezes, doors slamming, mirrors dropping off walls, music playing, other noises and other various things that had no reasonable explanations for.. also some good cemetery stories..spooky even for me, ones I wouldn't believe if someone else had told them to me..but they did happen to me, so I've got to believe them. Why do these type of things usually happen when your by yourself? I did have another funeral assistant that I worked with and she was there during several of these, plus she had her own experiences herself...
Omg I would love to hear your stories!
I was a cemetery groundsperson for a little bit; part of that duty entailed beehive removal. The first time I removed a beehive at night, I thought to myself, “gosh I hope I don’t see a ghost or something.” Well, I never did see a ghost, but I’m pretty positive that many people thought I was a ghost, walking around in my hoodie with no light haha
You are so brave! There is no way I could spend the night alone in the woods without real shelter, like a cabin. I have spent up to a month alone in a cabin, in Oregon's wildnerness, but I had the 4 walls- big difference!! I was cabin sitting my friend's cabin & one night I was hearing all kinds of strange sounds, when all of a sudden, a raccoon came falling through an high on the wall, open window! (Meant for their cat) It literally took my breath away, it scared me so badly!
Oh wow!
I'm with you, no way would spend a night out in the woods all by myself.
I'm too scared !!!! 😳
difference between girl and women
That's my point there is no protection in tents and Van especially in jungle alone there must be atleat strong built safe and secure cabin to do such adventures after all safety first all other things are beyond
when you sleep out in the woods the light of the morning is like angels coming to visit
yessss
Well said, my friend. Some people say that angels are actually angles of light it somewhat makes sense to me. The son of god brings the angels or the sun of god brings the angles.
@@truemordecai2996 very true I suffer from anxiety and depression I kept hearing my name being called I was really going through it so the sun started to shine very bright through my window I swear it made a cross symbol and in my living room I have a picture that says GOD is love the light was shinning through on to the picture so random I started crying I believe it was a sign telling me everything will be alright 💜
BiggestFoot Nonsense. Your lack of an experience with God does not prove that He doesn’t exist. The amount of arrogance it must take to make such a statement as you did must be gigantic.
@De Lacey this made me smile thank you so much your story is beautiful it was definitely a good sign from your mom 🙏🏾💜🥰
I am not ever going to be sleeping in the woods alone. I just watch you do it!!!
Let's go
Lol! Same!
Thank you for including your viewers when you pray at meals..it blessed me...keep the faith
I don't even like being in my house alone, much less the woods. 😂
finally someone enjoying a night in the bush and not going through the whole show about how wonderful there gear is and showing us everything they own. thank you
All my wonderful gear is from garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets and the dump! LOL
Amen!
@@therealgirlinthewoods you're a woman after my own ♥️! My Favorite camping, case iron fry pan I bought at goodwill for 35 cents, when I was 16.... still use it, and I'm 60.makes a perfect egg every time. You wouldn't believe how many times I've had to save it from being stolen. Lol
What you sounded was like a deer grunting . Not a deer snorting . Two different sounds all together . That's probably what the other people were talking about . The tingling of the arrows sounded like . Tingling of antlers of two bucks fighting . And you called a bigger buck in and he was grunting .
Great story thanks
@@therealgirlinthewoods❤
You're an easy one to love. Love your fur baby, Maysie. My scariest woods encounter was at dusk just wrapping up my hunting day, walking back to my car about 2 miles away. Didn't see ANY deer. about a half mile or so into my walk back, there was a turn in the road. At the turn was a tree that had been struck by lightning. I knew it had been struck by lightning because if any of you have ever seen one, you know that it is as white as possible because when a tree gets struck by lightning, it instantly cooks all the resin in the tree, and kills it instantly, leaving in with a ghost white appearance. ANYWAYS...so the tree caught my attention due to its nature, so i looked at the tree and followed it up. The tree was broken off some 15 or so feet up, and right where the tree had broke, was a cougar, or mountain lion just staring at me. It growled that low in the back of its throat type of growl while looking at me. So that was my "In the moment" scared sh*tless...moment. I started to swing my 30 -06 off of my shoulder, and primed the chamber. As soon as i pulled the bolt back, it turned around, and jumped off the back side of the tree, and took off into the woods. That was the LONGEST 1 1/2 mile hike back to my car, always looking back and to the sides of the road making sure that it wasn't sneaking up on me. I mean ,can you imagine, if i hadnt looked up that tree and saw that thing? I would have walked right underneath it and gave it my back. I would have been dead.
WOW spooky! You're not the only one in the comments with cougar stories!
Those cougars are sneaky killers, never trust them, u did right by covering your 6 the whole way
So I came out of an abusive marriage where the impetus to leave was he tried to strangle me. I told a friend recently that I felt more comfortable outside alone with maybe one of my dogs than in home. When the biggest monster you know is in your own home, sleeping outside sounds peaceful.
Very scary. Don't know what to expect really, what's next? I spent so much time trying to get through to him, trying to say just the right combination of words that would make him understand that I actually loved him and how much the things he was doing and saying hurt me how he was killing me, my soul and body.
@@thelittlelenora this is not to be insensitive but to make you think and judge your next moves. But, what if... he doesn't consider how you feel? What if that love you try to express just feeds his need for power and control? If you're just an object, why should you have feelings or needs especially when it's inconvenient for him?
These are truly things someone that is being abused need to question with a fatalistic mentality. Most abusers are narcissistic. As I heard a doctor of psychology say, "You have to accept you can't change a narcissist any more than you can change the weather in Chicago." As the saying goes, if he wanted to treat you with respect he would. That he doesn't is not within your ability to change but it is within your ability to walk away.
As one who winter camps in a tent in remote northern Wisconsin alone…with my dog I understand. I don’t know what is more terrifying, the wind howling all night long at a deafening volume or absolute silence where you can hear every critter on the forest floor. I will say hearing coyotes yipping as they get closer and closer is a bit unnerving. And as that sun comes up in and the day begins it always reminds me why I do it. Solo camping like you share in the video is the best but not for everyone.
Great video.
i once ended up setting up my tent when it was dark with out much light. i feel asleep and was awoken when something had run into my guide lines. i was in a tent that was all mesh and when i shined a flash light all the light was reflecting off the mesh however i could perceive eyes in every direction. the next day i realized i had set my tent right over a dear trail. i hadn't got much sleep because those animals were running into my tent and lines all night. it was a small one man bivy bag and a few times i actually felt them from the out side kick me as they walked around. at the time it was scary but when i figured out what i had done i had a good laugh. lesson learned.
I was at Girl Scout camp somewhere in the forest in So Cal, it was the middle of the night, me and about 15 other girls were asleep on our cots in a big canvas tent. Something woke me up and it was so quiet but I had this creepy feeling. There was some kind of animal in the tent walking around the rows of cots. I could hear it breathing as it walked up and down the rows of cots. I was paralyzed with fear. It hurts not breathe hard when your heart is pounding! I kept wondering if anyone else was awake. It was pitch black. I heard it move closer then, it BUMPED my cot! I held my breath. But then it moved away and its animal type breathing faded away. I was so exhausted trying not to die, I fell asleep hard. What’s so strange is that no one else said they heard anything! I’ll never know what that creature was. I can only imagine😧
Yikes!
Could have been a raccoon or badger or some other nocturnal animal like a opossum that came in searching for food. It might of even been someone`s dog wandering around in the tent. There`s alway`s a logical explanation.
@@stevesheartone2998
It's not as reasonable to assume such a small animal if the area was dead-silent, she awoke in a fear state, it bumped her cot, & she could hear it breathing & walking.
Such small animals usually have fairly shallow, light breaths, unless they're sniffing around in someone's pack & I doubt you'd hear much beyond a barely-there pitter-patter unless they're digging around in your stuff, which would indicate a small critter.
Unless she was just legitimately scared of these small types of critters due to lack of familiarity or knowing what to do, I think it'd likely have at least been an animal that was at least the same size or larger than a small "big" cat species (such as lynx or bobcat).
By the way, you sound like a highly skeptical individual, which leads me to assume that you probably don't entertain the possibility of the Forestfolk or Sasquatch existing.
However, once one takes the time to actually look deeply enough into the subject, they may find that it actually is just another logical, perfectly natural explanation for some of the things that can be experienced while out in nature & our own hubris generally closes our minds to considering it in seriousness.
😂😂😂 "I was so exhausted trying not to die" 😂😂😂
The "Missing 411" from Dave Paulides woke me up several years ago. Tons of the missing and people found dead do not make sense at all. So whenever I got into the woods, I'm heavily armed, and have a tracker beacon on me. Be careful out there. I just subbed so I'm new to your channel.
you can't let fear dictate your life, and I will never watch that stuff for that reason

Seriously you have guts. When me and my 2 male friends went on a road trip in Oman, they'd sleep in a tent at night and always locked myself up in a car and slept there, with the windows up of course and a tiny opening for fresh air. And this is one of the safest countries in the world. I could NEVER stay in a cabin in the woods ALONE. Love your videos though
Once I slept out in the open with a group of other campers. In the middle of the night, I heard repeated grunting and thought a bear was nearby. I was so terrified that it felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest. After what seemed an eternity, I finally got the courage to grab my flashlight and look around to see where the bear was. The bear was actually another camper snoring! Boy, was I so relieved!
LOL thank goodness
Hahaha soo funny !
Ok. I got a minute now to share a camp story from about 35 years ago. When I was a young teen growing up in the country in S.E. Oklahoma, me and my friends would hike into the woods and camp every chance we got. One of our favorite activities was to go deeper into the woods after dark and see what animals we might find. On one of these excursions we heard a low moan like you described hearing. I turned my flashlight in its direction and saw glowing eyes staring back at us from the trees. We all ran as fast as we could back to camp and built up the fire convinced that we had narrowly escaped the clutches of a monster. The next morning our courage restored by daylight we went to where we saw the glowing eyes of the moaning monster and saw that what had scared us the night before was a cow.
lol
Hahaaaa this is hilarious. Can you imagine if you were alone? 😱 Nope LoL.
@@FinnMiaBelle it's very funny now, but at the time it was terrifying. (:
😂😂😂😂
Bigfoot and More Lynx that are mating or fighting sound really scary! You wouldn’t believe how demonic cat sounds can be. 😳
I like how your dog just sits there, watching everything you do.
Hiya. Yes I have a story. I stayed in an old gold mining area with two friends, a couple. They had their tent and I was single and had my tent. Early hours of the morning I heard axes chopping wood and thought that some late campers had arrived to set up. The sound was echoey and they had an accent, maybe Irish. I froze in my sleeping bag and could not move. The sound stopped. Of course then I had to go pee. I noticed that my friends had also emerged for the same task and were just going into their tent. But there were no other campers. I eventually went to sleep. In the morning we talked about it and they had heard the same sound. Wandering around in daylight we saw an old plaque commemorating a house that used to stand near there. A year later I went back to the same spot, because it was picturesque and fairly close to town, good for an overnighter, with a different friend. We were in the tent together. Same deal. It wasn’t menacing, just so weird that it was the familiar chopping wood sound and the Irish accent…. I feel privileged to have experienced it. Thanks for reading. I swear it is true. Deb from Oz (Australia).
wow!
You bring back memories of me in my teens to my 50s. I spent months traversing, canoeing, x-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and camping in the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York. Summer, fall, winter and spring. I love it! One year, with friends we made camp at Mt Marcy, NY, and while sitting around the fire a pack of wolves surrounded our camp site. Alpha came near up, circling and sniffing, more curious than aggressive. Glowing eyes all around. They left after about 20 minutes. It was frightening and awesome.
I've heard sounds like that when I used to install comm. equipment for the DOT - which were always located in remote sites, far away from people, and usually high up on hilltops. I've experienced "sighing" noises and "moans" but there were no animals anywhere, yet it was right next to me, and coming out of the ground - so it seemed. The experts claimed it was a bobcat or "murcat" but I say NO these were human voices and I have perfect hearing. An old timer told me that he's heard them too up in the woods and described how there's old Native American burial grounds all over the place, especially near big hills - many are so old there's very little signs that anything was ever there, being overgrown over the years. But the worst sound I've heard, occurred at 3 am, as I was rerouting power cables (all of this work is typically done at night when air traffic is low) was the pig snorting sound (not the typical deer snort). It sounded like it was next to me, but a check of entire area turned up no signs of any animals or tracks, no wild boars nothing. Spooky stuff...
I went bow hunting on my property right after I bought it yrs ago, i had to walk way back 1600 ft from the road to the woods, I got about 30 ft into the woods and heard a growling kind of snort noise so close behind me I could feel the hot air on my neck ! this was a hr before daylight as I like getting to a stand early n settle in, I had by backpack with my deer stand on, i thought my options a couple seconds with fear, i had no gun! I know running would be pointless n turning around might be my worst nightmare encounter, so then I decided to just walk slowing to my stand stoping every 15 yards n listen, after a few seconds go again, so my sounds blended with forest creatures, except for what ever breathed on my neck that caught up to me when i said it snorted/growled on my neck! everyone asks me why i didnt look behind me, any creature that bold could have easily killed me if it wanted, it warned e not to walk thru that section in the dark i thought so i obeyed my land didnt matter to it, neither did me living much yr or two later i was walking my dog a norwegian elkkhound thru that section for the first time, all the sudden he took off running i glanced back just in time to see a large tree coming down, i jumped over to the side just in time it landed where i was when the dog took off, the tree still had green leaves n wasnt even a windy day, did something push it over?? my guess it did, and i stayed since out of the front corner of the woods, i hear loud tree knocks, n horrible creams at times from there, i learned my boundarys 2 decades ago and live in peace n respect of it for not killing me although it did try the second time i feel, i just was lucky to miss being squashed ! what was it ? guessing a bigfoot that some people see but not sure !
Bigfoot
@@AmericanPatriot-cw9xe I have heard this so many times I believe it was a Sasquatch.
@@drawdogg_artcreation
Agreed.
Sabe/Sasquatch/Bigfoot
Many years ago and it was our first time hiking in the woods as a young family (there were no hiking trails). We thought we go exploring and thought it would be a great adventure too. It became dark + cold out, we got lost, and then we couldn't find our way back. I believe we kept walking further deep into the woods. Eventually and finally, we happened to find a roadway out leading back to the park and our car. We were so happy to be out of there and so relieved to be back home. We vowed to never let this happen again.
so easy to get turned around, carry a compass, will never get lost! learn to use it.
Lol, I would've had a heart attack to hear that!! I just went out to solo tarp camp for my first time and I swear the night before, my thoughts went through everything from bears, cougars and bigfoot! lol. When I actually got there, I was actually grateful for the light of the full moon and the wind to drown out all the scary noises for my first time!! I plan to do another one in the coming weeks and I hope I don't remember your story! lol. fyi, I loved your strength and tenacity on Alone. Very inspiring to fellow lady bushcrafters!!
My most frightening moment in my remote cabin off the grid experience involved my tree walker coonhound, Luke. It was close to midnight and my Luke was off chasing deer and having a blast, barking up a storm. Then all of a sudden I heard and felt pounding on the thin walls of my cabin, heard my Luke yowl. I was 56 at that time.. I grabbed a 3 foot 2x4, and my sledge hammer,, mustered up all the courage I had inside me and threw open the door not knowing what I'd find. (my mind is thinking bear, bad man, or wild dogs) My baby boy came running in all torn up and whimpering. I examined him and he had some deep wounds which I cleaned, shaved and duct-taped butterfly stitches. My heart was pounding. I didn't know what did this to him but I'm guessing it was a raccoon. He laid off chasing deer for a bit but soon was back to normal. But I also wanted to add always trust your gut. I had a very close call in the Adirondacks when I was a kid going through the woods. My hair stood on end and I wouldn't go into a certain trail I did all the time. My friend was with me and I started crying and shivering so we went back to the road instead. Winds up there was an escaped convict in that exact area. Since then I've always trusted my gut. Anyway thanks again for sharing your life with us Brook. You're so much fun and remind me of me!!
Always trust your gut instinct its a primal instinct that kept our ancestors alive good call !
That's so scary for you, awww, your poor pup! Not sure what your beliefs are but that sounds more like a Bigfoot aggravated by a barking dog which is known to happen. Thin walls or not, raccoons don't bang on walls, certainly not hard enough to, "feel," lol.
Either its dogman or bigfoot..

Agreed.
When I was 10 yr's old I would get off the school bus at my friends house to play, which was a mile and a half from my home. The problem is there are no houses between us only what we call long-swamp.
It's was the scariest place on the plant to me. I always hated the walk home during the day so I always made sure I left before dark.
During winter months it gets dark earlier and while playing inside I lost track of the time.
By chance I looked at the slightly opened curtain and felt frantic rush over me to see it was dusk outside. The cruel tricks of winter!
I jumped up and said I have to go but my friend begged at me to stay a little longer, no, I said, I've got to get home or I'll be in big trouble. So I said good-by and headed out the door.
As I exited their driveway I begin to run knowing the swamp area is much darker from tree cover.
Half mile into the swamp there is a corner then another half mile of swamp.
Half way in I was so exhausted I had to slow to a walk to catch my breath.
From my friends house to the swamp was a quarter mile, so now I'm wishing I hadn't panicked and ran that quarter mile, or I could've had enough energy to run the whole swamp.
As I approached the end of the swamp I had this eerie feeling I was being watched though I didn't want to look back. There was one more corner ahead then a down hill stretch to my driveway.
As I begin to round that last corner at the end of the swamp, the feeling to look back was overpowering me but I fought it off until I was just about to put the long-swamp behind me.
I looked back and there was a cougar coming out onto the road from the swamp. The panic I felt when I left my friends house now pales to the load beating in my chest and head.
The beating of my heart was so load I thought my ear drums were going to burst.
My breathing was out of control, I felt I couldn't get enough oxygen.
I remembered what my dad thought me, never run but that's all I wanted to do!
The cougar was about two hundred yards back.
I quickly thought up a plan that the cougar has just been watching me walk the last half mile and I'm about to round the corner still walking, so once out of sight he'll think that I'm still walking when I'll be running the fastest I have ever ran and if the cougar just walks I can gain some distance from him.
So once out of sight, I pored it on for my driveway not knowing if the cat is gaining on me. I was so thankful for the down hill slope of this stretch, it felt like I was really moving. I didn't want to waste a second to look back, I just pushed for the driveway which was also long and up hill---damn-it!
As I righted off the road to my driveway I look back.
The cougar was just rounding the corner, I had doubled the distance between us.
I swear I could see a surprised look on his face as he noticed I'd gained some distance from him.
The cougar then went into a full run and I was praying for my legs not to give out on me now on this last little hill.
As I look back at the top of my driveway I could tell the cougar had slowed but was still gaining on me.
Looking at the house I could see the door was open a jar to let the heat out so I bolted for the door---no, I dove for the door, slamming it into the wall stopper. Sprawled out on the floor I quickly kicked the door shut!
My mom comes out of the kitchen to see what the commotions is.
I told her I was chased by a cougar but she just laughed and said the dark will do that to ya and off to the kitchen laughing she went.
Moments latter headlight shine on the ceiling of my dad returning home from work .
I watch out the living room window as he unusually turn the car around with the headlights facing the driveway.
With the headlights on he jumps out of the car and runs to the door.
Barging in the door he yells there's a cougar in the yard and yells at me to stay in the house.
He runs to the bedroom and comes out with the 30.06 and says don't anyone go outside as he heads out the front door.
I run to the window but can't see my dad nor the cat.
My mom's now in a panic and crying for him not to go out there.
I'm shoooing my mom to be quite, I want to hear what's going on!
But she wont shut up!
BANG!------BANG!
I run to the door and hold it open, my excuse will be encase you needed to get in, in a hurry. Like I know that one!
I hear my dad yell, I GOT HIM!
I latter tell my dad my story and my mom confirms it.
This cougar was 10 feet from nose to tail, my dad says it's the biggest cougar he's ever seen.
He strapped it across the hood of the car and drove it to work the next day.
It was so big the head hung down to the wheel and the tail had to be tied to the antenna.
It was the thing they did in those days, parade around town with your trophy hung on your car or truck to all the bars LOL!
I was really proud of my dad!
I no longer had to walk or run the long-swamp as my dad demanded I call him at work and he'll pick me up from then on.
My dad is gone now but I still proudly have that cat hanging on my wall.
Sorry this is so long!
Wow! What state are you in? Great story!
Rule #1 never panic!
Rule #2 never forget Rule #1!

Thanks for your story,,,you had me going there for a sec,,,I'm glad you made it safe into the house...your instincts were pretty intact as far as sensing there was danger right close to you,,good thing your dad did what he had to do to protect his family,,,,thank you,,was very intetesting...😊☺

That last leg, run up the driveway was pure adrenaline!
I’m new to your channel Brooke. I’ve been binge watching your videos. You are such a brave, hard working soul. I love your adventures with your beautiful dog. I could never do what you do. I admire you. Stay safe!
I am watching you at 2:00 in the morning. It is July 11and was HOT today, here in North Carolina……watching you in the snow actually made me feel chilly. I try so hard not to complain about the heat, the cold, the rain, or the lack of it, and try to enjoy every season, & every day. I don’t, but I’m honest, so I’ll say I try. I admire you for the way you endure those winter camp outs, and that you ENJOY them, your surroundings, and just life in general. I have only camped out once and it freaked me out so, I never did it again. I pray you can live like this until God calls you home. You are an amazing woman and I wish you were my friend. God bless you and keep you safe.
I second this! Wonderful, positive person ❤️
2:34 "I like old stuff" every old dude watching smiled and said "I'm old stuff.."
Yep! You read my mind! Hahaha
probably 20 years ago now I once heard the words "hello there" in a clearing in the middle of the woods nobody around for miles...I was working on a dear stand at the time. Freaked me out...female voice, non threatening. Ive been back there with my Dad hunting many times and it never happened again. I have no clue to this day, very strange indeed.
Lol,my sister herd the same ,but a man's voice at 1:30am in her new apt ,on the way to the tolite! Lol, we finally had to get a shaman to rid it.
Did it by any chance sound kind of odd in a way that u dont really know how to explain??
I wake up thinking someone knocked on the door. Not afrsid just annoyed. I do it maybe 3 or 4 times a year.
I was camping recently and heard a female voice outside my tent say, “hello” and it was non threatening and my husband didn’t hear it! There was nobody there. Wondered who she was.
I have heard too many stories like this to dismiss. Seems to happen a lot in national parks and remote camping areas. I probably would have passes out lol.
I have goosebumps just from reading everyone's stories 🖤 glad I stumbled on this, so far its amazing 👏
2 things. Me and several others were sleeping outside a village in the Amazon in Peru. I swear I heard noise. I opened my eyes n looked up n saw an Indian with a spear, on top of the outer fence, looking down at us as we slept. No one else saw it. I woke everyone up but no one saw him. May have been an apparition? The other, I was backpacking alone in Eagle River valley in Spring in Alaska. Plan was to go over the pass to Alyeska. I packed about 11 miles in to where the glacier met the river. I had such a restless night, dreaming of Grizzly bears walking around my little tent. So I decided this was a bad idea, packed up and doubled back. There were indeed Grizzly tracks...huge paws, around my tent and on trail back that next morning. The cedar bridge that crossed a creek which flowed in to Eagle River had been collapsed overnight, likely by the bear or bears crossing over it. I was told by a ranger that. Momma w 2 cubs had been seen in the valley. I did not regret my decision to turn back but what a restless night.
I'm homeless and sleep in the woods, I'd be more scared sleeping in the city ❤
P.s. love your boots.
Vagabond Burke seriously, you ought to make some video content about your way of surviving. Would love to learn about how you live and do things. I think it would be interesting.
Ray Teerlink certainly would!
When I was homeless I always looked for homes that were being built I cop a squat right there.. Or abandon places or cars....
Me to homeless I sleep In the river bottoms never had a problem with animals did have beaver that would come watch the sun go down but one night my tent buckled and some crack head tryed brain me with a huge rock it suck trying to get out of the tent to defend my self he ran when I got out but I could not camp there any more I could not sleep
I hope the best for you and pray you continue to be safe 💛

I was at a folk dancing camp out in the woods of southern Massachusetts. There were no lights on the paths, and so after leaving one of their folk dance pavilions, you were plunged into complete darkness. Trying to find my car in the parking lot in the dark, I heard some of the heaviest breathing I’ve ever heard. Sounded like a big hungry bear. I sprinted back to the nearest lighted up building. Now that I think of it, it could have been some romantic campers making out in their van. ;-)
What a fearless, brilliant, kind human. You inspire me. Best wishes.❤️
Having a dog with you makes everything better. Good dog!
Such a wonderful dog! She is a beautiful, beautiful treasure. I love, love,love dogs. They are such a tremendous blessing! I truly thank Jesus so much for dogs.
Dogs are good company and can warn you if anything or anyone is NEAR that's it dogs are NO match against bears..mountain lions or even Bigfoot best carry your guns/rifles shoot them instead for protection.
People with dogs go missing more then people who don't have dogs. The woods are not as safe as you think .
Yeah but I still be scared alone even if you bring a dog with you I still be scared tho.
Robby Wright having a gun helps more.
One of the toughest moments in my life was when I was camping in my grandmothers backyard, I got a paper cut and couldn’t continue so I went back inside the house and slept on the bed.
lol
Al Haymon are you feeling any better yet?!!!🙄😄
😂😂😂
lol
There sure are a lot of funny people on here.
Thx 4 the good laugh!
Glad you have your beautiful pooch with you in the woods. She seems to enjoy being outside as much as you do. She also gives you peace of mind, I'm sure, being out in the woods alone...I know it would, for me. Now that I'm older, I know the mishaps & dangers & I'd never go into the woods alone... not even with your dog,!!!
I had the same feeling in TX hunting feral hogs. Especially after hearing them all around you and having a group of 20-30 go right under your stand. You feel very safe high up in that tree! Also, having a pistol backpacking makes me feel way better; I've met some weirdos in the Olympics. One guy my son and I met was very odd. He came into our camp and was very talkative. When He finally left, he set his tent up a ways down from us, and we could hear him talking to himself for quite awhile. My son was about 14 at the time and said: "Dad, you've got your pistol ready right?" He had one of the most minimalist kits I've ever seen, and he said he was staying out "for a few weeks." We were polite, and I gave him a bag of trail mix. Funny thing is, 4 or 5 years later, my wife and I bumped into him on the same trail; (Skokomish River). Wife said he gave her the creeps, and I trust her intuition. His name was Jeff. Just a couple years ago I was day hiking in the Olympics, about 6 miles up the trail when I ran into 2 really sketchy guys; they looked methed-up and were trying to do running backflips off of a tree. They seemed friendly enough, but there was something off-putting about them. Glad i had my G29 on me. I've also had numerous times where Elk herds, bears and God knows what else has come near my tent at night. I was out at Lillian Lake (Olympics) a few years ago and awoke to a bear sniffing my tent. I didn't look out, but I know it was a bear; he was milling all around the basin earlier in the day. Took me a good 30 min to fall back asleep that time. I'm mostly much more concerned with the bipeds than anything else.
I live on the peninsula and know EXACTLY what you are saying!!!
@@spoof6161 it can get sketchy on the peninsula; it’s a different world out there.

It looks amazing but I would not go camping at night....no way...I have watched too much of the Missing 411 😂
I have many times, but if I was in bear country, I would think twice, :)
If you've watched a lot of 411 then you should know that MANY missing were just hiking during the day...
Not no, but hell, no...😲

Too many go and mysteriously disappeared..
Really into no where never to be found..no remains..clothing..shoes I had just viewed a program on 100 of them..strange ..only God Knows what happened ..no one is missing in His sight
One night years ago (70s) in the hills above Eielson AFB near Fairbanks my father (in the Air Force) and my brother and I , tweenagers were hunting. We heard all kinds of terrible noises outside our tent during the night but stayed inside expecting the worse (bear,wolf). In the morning we found the entire area littered with rabbit dropping’s. It had been Waskally Snow Shoe Rabbits!
LOL that's just how it goes! Everything's a bear!
You're living my dream. I never went camping until I met my ex-husband. I loved it! But, I haven't gone camping in a couple of decades, but I would love to go camping with someone like you for the first time if I ever did it again. I think Maysie is such a cool dog too. I came across your channel a few days ago and love watching.
My story is about scaring myself silly and what not to read while camping. I was at our cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I had picked up a book at the library, "The Stranger Beside Me," by Ann Rule, which was the story of Ted Bundy. I was working a waitress job in the town of Lincoln, but our cabin was in Woodstock, which was a pitch black as the night in during the winter. I got home and, nervous, I decided to check the extra room and couple of closet spaces, but first went into the kitchen area and got a meat cleaver (yes, I'm being silly). I checked and felt stupid. I got into my pjs and into the bed and shut off the light. 'Scrape, scrape, scrape--someone was hacking through the wall behind my head from the outside. I jumped out of bed and yelped and ran to get the meat cleaver. 'Scrape, scrape, scrape,' the sound was getting closer. At the vortex of time when I was about to pee my pants, and faint, it hit me. It was a mouse (probably a really big mouse, okay?) scrabbling between the wall boards. To me it sounded like, well Ted Bundy using a hatchet to chop his way into the room. So, don't read books about serial killers when you're in a lonely cabin, in the lonely woods, in the loneliest part of the White Mountains in the dead of winter. :)
sounds heard are mostly ghosts, just ignore them, they can't see you.
God did good work the day he made dogs. You make kind, gentle, real, no drama videos. Good job. I'm enjoying them. Thank you.
Humans made dogs from wolves tho, right?

Dog bones have been found from 15,000 years back so I'm afraid dogs pre-date God.
Maysie is sooo precious! What a sweet furry companion 🥰
Oh she is! Bless her furry heart!
I walked through the woods down to my bus stop on an old logging road, sometimes alone. On the way back up would stop sometimes at an old spring. A friend told us stories about supposed murders at an old cabin along the road. Sometimes, in Winter I had to walk before daylight. Sometimes I felt I was being watched, but basiclaly I miss that old road and wish I could go back and walk it joining the same people along the way.
My name's Tracey. I was born and raised in a tiny town called East Granby, (Connecticut), which is also home of the oldest prison in America (a little fun fact 😉). East Granby is your typical, sleepy, New England town. It really is beautiful, with tons of history. The surrounding towns are extremely old as well. My cousin, Jason, and I loved to go for late night drives in my Jeep Wrangler with the top down on those hot summer night On this particular night we drove from East Granby, to the neighboring town called Suffield. My cousin and I always took the same back roads. The roads out in the country are pitch black, no street lights, very curvy and extremely long, but I knew these roads like the back of my hand. There is a street called Christmas Tree Lane, which is literally out in the middle of a heavily wooded area. It was a little past 12, so it was late and very dark. After we had turned onto the street, I'm not kidding you.. Something ran in front of my Jeep so fast that it was almost a blur. It towered over the hood of my Jeep. My headlights hit his eyes and the way my headlights reflected, it made his eyes this golden yellow color. Kinda how animals eyes reflect when you shine a light into their eyes. Whatever it was, was running on two feet, standing up. Completely covered in hair. I mean, this was like no other animal I have seen. It ran so fast, if my headlights hadn't caught it, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I remember hitting the brakes to stop but decided that wasn't a good idea and continued on down the road. Now, I wasn't alone. My cousin who is almost 15 years older than me, saw it too. We looked at each other and were like, "WTH was that?!". I never believed in Big Foot but the only thing I can compare to what I saw that night is big foot/sasquatch. Whatever it was had been standing upright on his two feet like a human. The hair all over his body was so long, it trailed behind him. I've never encountered anything like that. My cousin and I still talk about it years later.
That dog is such a treasure. She's just wonderful. You are so lucky.
Really crazy story ! Gave me Goosebumps too.... I thought you were going to say that your boyfriend was the one making the noise to mess with you!😹😹😜😜😜
You are brave! I don’t think I could camp in the woods by myself.
Me either. I’m way too scary
Do it often, nothing to be afraid of.
Me either, and I am a guy!! I'd need more than a golden retriever,..he'll protect you alright, from the next county. I'd need a handgun and a better breed of dog.
My thoughts exactly. Especially without window treatments or blinds to close at night. 😳
In the woods I'd be afraid of Bigfoot.
Aside from the hunting part, as I’m on the side for the animals, I love listening to the experiences with that wonderful dog. Very brave lady!!!!!
I need to live like that . I’m so alone . Amd mistreated by my sister . Love your video . Your so happy amd have a beautiful dog and a beautiful spirit . Bless x
Seek Jesus Christ with all of your heart and you will find him and you will never feel alone, and he will teach you how to love people even if they do you wrong. Please repent from your SINS and ask Jesus to give you your salvation from YOUR SINS and save your SOUL from HELL.
Scary? I was winter camping one time. Simple tarp shelter, a fire going, middle of the night, when all of a sudden I hear something running full tilt straight towards me in the crunchy snow. It was moving pretty good. A wolf ran right by my shelter, just a few feet away, and just kept on going. Never heard it again. It was kind of hard to sleep after that! It's great being out there!
yeah that will keep you awake!
Wow....the first thing that would go through my mind would be "What has that wolf so spooked he didn't even want to take time to sniff in curiosity?"
@@conniefoxx9813 just my thoughts :D
My scariest moment eva in the woods was when I went to Yosemite all alone. And after a days hike, I was forced to eat my own cooking. Now that was scary!! True story.
Wow and you survived! That's one scary story! 👱♀️All kidding aside anyone can learn to cook! Do foil meal's in the campfire!Yum!
Peter P oh you poor thing! Take soup next time. Cans. I avoid eating my own creations that way. Lol
Gotta hand it to you, pal. You're a true survivor!
I had eva on a park bench, but never in the woods. She says the Mosquitoes
bite her butt.
Hahahaha
i love how at home you are outdoors and alone (except for the company of your beautiful dog) even in cold weather. i sometimes just get spooked at home alone overnight because i let my imagination go. i've never camped alone at night but i've had good spooks hiking alone in the woods before mostly because of animal noises.
there was one night, however, i was camping with a friend in newfoundland. we weren't anywhere special, just staying at the kind of campground that's basically an alternative to a hotel room. lots of people around, very friendly. i think it was on our second morning that my friend and i noticed a bunch of bones had been laid out on our picnic table that had definitely not been there when we went to bed, which was concerning. the bones were from some medium sized animal and not like chicken bones someone had left after eating wings or something. it was like someone had found a skeleton in the woods, picked up all the bones and arranged them on our table. i mean, it could have been some animal but the way the bones were arranged was very orderly. we stayed a few more nights, nothing else ever happened but we still don't get why those bones were there.
That's my favorite time of day, when the snow turns blue during twilight,😊
I'm not a hunter, but I've going on solo mountain bike trips overnight in the woods, mostly unarmed other than my U-lock or whatever else I could use as a club. I always stay close to the trail when
I camp and take a bright backup flashlight and not to disturbed wildlife,
I usually use low level settings.
I'd never get to much sleep, mostly listening to the sounds of things moving around me. I'll be in pretty remote areas at times, and won't see anybody for hours on end.
Nobody at night.
But that being said,
I've also experienced unexplainable happenings such as 'floating orbs' in the trees and heard strange human like vocal sounds, almost like deep grunted Native American.
Also the usual barred owl or coyote that would change pitch to more human-like.
Since I've experienced that alone and also saw something big, ( human male sized or bigger ) that was reddish orange in color, hiding and watching me from behind the woodpile while I was playing Native American flute, I just accept what's out there and try not to be afraid.
😳
Scariest moment ever in the woods was when I was riding my horse through a swamp bottom, making our way carefully around some cypress knees. All of a sudden he stops in his tracks with ears forward, listening, and eyes wide open, blowing heavy through his nostrils. Then I smell it. A gosh awful stench. I thought it must be a wild hog maybe. Then I hear a deep grunt sound. Well all I had to do was lean the reins to the side like I was going to ease and turn around, and my horse was like, heck yeah, we gone. He took off up the hill so fast I was having to duck to not be taken out by tree limbs. When we got out to the edge of woods leading into the field he finally settled down. Still not sure what that was. My brother jokingly said it must have been Bigfoot.
There was a story like that on RUclips, a couple on there horses did the exact same thing as your horse did, also smelt the smell, apparently they did see Bigfoot in the end and they also had there horses run out as fast as possible
Joking or not, I think your brother was right.
Wild boars stink
Wild Boar for sure. Had a run in with one in rural Germany. You did well to run.
Was the deep grunt like an oink cause a wild boar still sounds like a pig, wild or not. I too believe Sabi (Bigfoot) judging by the area, sound, smell and horse's reaction. I had a weird one similar to that on mine one night and I also didn't question her decision.
I just came across this video and loved it. The pace and your attention to the viewer is so inviting. I enjoy camping, but I have never camped alone before. I live alone in a cabin with woods surrounding me though. I have thought many times about maybe building a shelter on my property away from the house just to practice. Up here in Vermont, there are plenty of bear, moose, porcupine and fisher cats so it would sure be a test of courage for a night. Thanks for the great content and inspiration. Sweet collie. Enjoy the wilderness.
Man I couldn't tell a spooky story by myself alone at night in the woods , no way!
Wow, Brooke. I think you're so brave. I would never go hiking by myself without my gun, let alone sleep out there by myself. I mean, as much as I love nature, it's people mostly that I'm afraid of. I wish I could be more like you and conquer my fears by just doing it. Maysie's the best! ❤❤❤
Scariest experience I've had camping was a tornado followed by a flash flood. At night. I was maybe seven. My father thru me over his shoulder and picked one of my sister's up at the same time. I remember watching a tent floating away and trees coming down. Although water got inside the truck we got out of harms way. We were blessed that night. The second scariest was when a pack of coyote paid us a visit. I was getting out of the tent to use the bathroom and they were there....looking at me. Quietly I rezipped the tent. They left as if I wasn't there.
yikes!
Great video just hanging around a structure. You keep everything interesting by just showing interesting things you have found and finding interesting equipment you actually use on the cheap. I loved the scariest story of just take off running. I have been in the same situation hunting in central Arkansas. Ended up being my buddy sneaking up on my stand and waiting for me to get down to make strange noise as I was walking out after dark. Lucky he didn't get shot. We still sit around the campfire and tell that story. Keep up the great videos.
I love how you used flint and steel to start your fire! I'm an old school USAF SERE Instructor. We learned how then taught how our students how to start a fire that way. Great job!
I've heard this same noise a few times in the woods a night and I still don't know what it was either! At least I didn't know for a while in my case. I had done a sweat lodge by myself years back in the woods. I went in early evening and got out a few times for more hot stones, not having a fire keeper. I was having a very spiritual experience when all the sudden I heard the leaves crackling and something was walking around and around the lodge circle. Of course by this time it was pitch dark, the rocks were cooling off and the hair was standing up on the back of my neck! It had been a warm fall day, that time of year when it gets cold as the sun goes down and I was getting colder by the minuet! But whatever was circling the lodge circle, which is about 40 feet and started making the noise you described! Finally getting colder, shivering, sweaty and scared, I had to gather up my stuff and go the 2-300 yards back to the house through the woods in the dark and wondering if I'd have to outrun whatever was out there pacing around! It felt like forever waiting to gain the courage to move out! I knew the land well but running in the dark? The sacred fire was just a few coals as I peered outside! I had to make a plan, grab my stuff or not? Remembering where roots and rocks are running in bare feet! Finally, after freezing in a spooky mind filled imagination of skin walkers, daemons and nasty ETs, I crawled out of the lodge like a sprinter at the starting line and went for it! Ouch Ouch Ouch! Briars, roots, stones and moving faster than I thought possible, I saw the lights of the house, which seemed like forever going those few hundred yards! Nothing was following me! What was that? I warmed up and stoked the wood stove thinking how I'll get my stuff in the morning. I went out to the lodge,coffee in hand and everything was as I'd left it. No tracks in the leaves in spite of the lengthy time I'd heard it! Nothing a muss! What the hell was out there I thought?! It was a scared mystery. Sometime after this I was telling my Native Elder friend about my experience and he just chuckled but in a kind knowing way. He said it was my fears pacing around the lodge, a negative spirit that was doing its best to take my very wonderful spiritual experience from me. But it didn't happen until after I was walking on air from my amazing time in the sweat lodge. It kept me in the lodge for at least an hour from my fear. I finally built the courage to face whatever was out there no matter what. Had it been after me it surely had all the advantages to overcome me. Instead I overcame it, my own fear! It was a good and life long lesson about creating our own needless fears! It was the icing on the cake of that sacred night when I was the fire keeper, water pourer and a very blessed person that fall night! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pa. Woods
I can understand some people don’t like the outdoor life, BUT there is no reason to give you a thumbs down!!👍👍👍
Roy Rice honestly doesn’t matter how wholesome or caring a video is I think it’s algorithm for dislikes to always come
I like being outdoors but I'm barely able to walk and get around so I stay in and that's nothing exciting. There was a time in my life I had a pretty good paying job and a brand new car and I would just take off and go somewhere for the weekend always by myself before cell phones 📵
Hi Brooke, new subscriber here from a rural village in Devon UK. I found your vlogs by accident but I'm completely addicted. I'm a country girl at heart and fortunate to live between 2 national parks Dartmoor and Exmoor. I used to be a real outdoors person but I have inherited 3 types of arthritis and fatigue, broken bones and a shot immune system prevent me from doing much long distance walking or camping. I love watching videos like yours, I can go to places vicariously. Finally, when I was growing up we had a dog like Maisie a rough coated collie ( bred in Scotland) , unlike Maisie he was a total wimp in snow. My Dad made him a ramp but he would put a paw out and jump back into the house. Every time I see Maisie in the snow I smile.
Reminds me of the Missing 411. It happens around twilight time while people are hunting and alone always in the woods, mountain, forest.
When I was seven, my grandmother and I were lost in the mountains for 3 days with no food and no shelter. It was July, which many people ask "oh, why didn't you eat berries?" Well, if you have ever been above 9400 feet elevation, then you know there are no berries to be found in early July. There was snow in most spots we were walking through. We had canteens and Granny was a smoker so she had a lighter but when you are dressed in light weight clothes for an "afternoon trek", even a fire will barely keep the Wyoming cold at bay, especially when you are a kid and frightened out of your mind. By the third day, I was so hungry that I couldn't move without dry heaving. Search and Rescue found us because they heard my screams the days before. We also used our metal canteens to help the helicopters locate us. If they hadn't found us when they did, my granny would have died on me within a day. It was many years later that I found that out. I'm now 45 and still love the outdoors, but trust me when my family goes camping, I'm always sure we are overstocked with food. My family understands, especially my "bare bones camping" hubby who lovingly sighs at the four totes/coolers of food for five days. OH, and yes, to this day I ALWAYS have a lighter.
wow!
A satellite Phone is something you can also rent,and take with you and worth every penny!🤠⛺🍕🌲
If you are too dumb to find your car, you aren't going to have much luck finding your campsite with the four totes/coolers full of food.

I had my own story that happened to me at age eight in the Sierra Nevadas at the West Branch of the Feather River not too far from a town called Sterling City. My parents brought us out fishing for trout on a tributary stream to the Feather River and it was early fall with the river low and we all fanned out to fish our section of stream. It was not unusual for we kids to end up a mile or more away from the the base day camp and I was out about one and a half miles from my father who stayed at the camp and was reading a book and napping. I was alone and casting out on a nice fishing hole while standing partly in the water when I went to cast and felt a hit on my left wrist and I pulled up my arm to see a rattlesnake literally stuck to my wrist. I pulled it off so fast, I left a single tooth in my wrist. I ended up tossing the snake into the river and I had that clear moment of realization of just how far I was from help. I knew I had about an hour or so before things were going to get bad. I did get venom from the snake and I used my elastic belt and stretched it somewhat tight on my arm and knew I had to walk, not run, back to camp. It took me a good 30 to 45 minutes to get back to camp and I remember the panic to get me to the hospital and the last thing I remember was before going unconscious was the turn just before we got to Sterling City. I do not remember anything for two days and I was given anti-venom - the old type - and it really packed a wallop. It took me a week to feel up to getting around and I had to have my wrist skin cut a number of times because the skin died around it, but there is barely a scar now. I am not scared of the woods, but have had other experiences of being followed by mountain lions, an unknown large creature that paralleled me all the way out of a stream for over a mile once in 1974 (and I am not saying Bigfoot but am not sure what it was! All I know is that it literally ran me out of my favorite fishing spot) and black bear on occasion, but NOTHING compares to the terror of seeing a rattlesnake ON YOUR WRIST! ;>) I really watch where I step now but my love of the Sierras has never diminished... Things like this are part of life and being scared is good for campfires, but most of the time, the mountains are just a beautiful place to be and I love being part of them when I go. That's my story Brooke ;>)
Wow that's incredible!!! Wow
Small world....I am originally from Oroville. Do you still live in the area?
Extraordinary story 💗
If you want some truly interesting reading, research the use of a low voltage stun gun for venomous spider & snake bites. Then make your own decision if you want to use it..

On my other channel RoamingGnome I hammock camped on Blood Mountain at Slaughter Creek in the Georgia Mountains. I didn’t mention it in the video but that night I fell asleep to Missing 411 which is about people disappearing in forests. Later that night I had for the first time in my life what I later found out was sleep paralysis/ night terror. It was the most realist dream I ever had. I felt my hammock move which woke me up. I looked at my watch and it said 3:20 a.m. When I looked up there was a dead women looking at me through the bug netting. She was trying to tear it. I kept slapping myself but couldn’t wake from it. It was some crazy sheeet!
I do not want to experience anything like that, no sir. Sorry you had to.
Firstly I love the name "Roamingnome" second that's terrifying!! Camping can be creepy let alone sleep paralysis, sorry you had that experience.
This are demons, i had the same, but than i repented from my sins and called on the name of Jesus Christ and he saved my soul from everlasting HELL and delivered me from demons. I have no fear of man, demons or dead, because perfect love cast out all fear (JESUS). If you ever have that again call on the name of Jesus Christ and demons flee.
Maysie is such a sweet dog, so enjoyable watching you two interact. Lots of love there, have a blessed day Brooke.
WOW! What brave mountain gals you are!! I live in a mountain town in Mt. Shasta, CA., would never camp out in the wilderness--black bears are very common here and are known to come into town during Winter looking for food. They love berries. Also, several young women have disappeared & were never found ( not to scare anyone) but beware!
I live and grew up in Western North Carolina on the edge of the Pisgah Forest.
In 1969, I was 11 years old and was in the local Boy Scout Troop.
We went back packing and camping up in a place called Coontree.
We had paired up, and my tent mate, and I had brought some snacks against the scout masters instructions. (Black Bears!)
Anyway, everyone had spread out and set their tents up. My tent mate and me had set up the farthest from the scout masters of any of the others so we could munch on our snacks without being noticed.
Before we went to sleep, I stuffed all the remaining Reese's cups, baby Ruth's, etc at the bottom of my sleeping bag.
Sometime in the night we heard a noise right outside the tent. Being 11 year old kids we pulled our sleeping bags over our head, and tried to be silent.
I remember trying not to even breathe, and curling up, as whatever was outside started scraping at the tent walls.
Then all of a sudden I heard the low growls and the canvas tent tearing. Every scary movie I'd ever watched was flashing through my mind.
Then my sleeping bag started to move, and I heard my tent mate screaming, "BEAR, BEAR, help. Hollering for the Scout masters as he ran out the opposite end of the tent.
I realized at that moment that the Bear was pulling my sleeping bag, with me in it out of the tent.
As he did I stuck my head out, saw him. I exited the sleeping bag, and went out the tent the same way my friend had. Like I'd been shot out of a cannon.
I was too scared to scream though, but I knew where the Scout Masters tent was, and headed straight toward it.
As I ran they ran past me, but I didn't stop.
One of them had a pistol and started firing it in the air and shouting at the Bear.
Being in a bear sanctuary he didn't shoot the Bear, but he scared it enough that the bear ran off into the forest dragging my sleeping bag, Reese's cups, baby Ruth's, etc with him.
The next morning we went looking and found my sleeping bag a short distance off with all the evidence as to why the Bear had done what he did.
I'll never forget that night and how scared I was if I live to be 100 years old.
United we Stand - I bet you coped a roasting.
@@masada2828 ,. Coped a roasting?
Great "Scout Master" knowingly camping in a Bear Sanctuary???? Gee, Next week we go swimming with SHARKS! Oh, and after that we can try our luck at see who can stay calm after a sack of Rattlesnakes are dumped around your feet!!! Maybe we can find a Wasp Nest and see who can piss'em off the fastest! Who's with me boy's? These are true Adventures! Scout Master R.U. Shittingme
@@sgrif392 ,. We have the largest concentration of black bear in the world here.
We don't raise snowflakes either.
We raise young men and women to learn how to live with nature, not fear it.
These woods are deep, endless, and full of critters that can kill or hurt you. And yes, we have poisonous snakes too.
You could easily get lost, fall off a cliff, or a waterfall.
There are many ways to die. If you're scared you'll never live!
@Sandi , I got a talking to to make sure I learned from my mistake. For sure, as dad put it, I learned the hard way. Should've listened, and learned the easy way.
Seems I always had to learn the hard way.
Me and that same boy got lost cutting straight down the mountain on a switchback trail a couple years earlier. After being told not to of course....
(We were 9 yrs old.)
It was well into the dark before we were found. Did we sit still and wait? Lol,,, NO, but we were heading the right direction when we heard the rescuers shouting our names.
My family went on a canoe trip in Ontario. We portaged across a small island on Lake Ontario. Dad was up front with his brother and sons carrying canoes and gear. Us smaller children were in the back of the spread out hiking line with backpacks and floatation cushions. We saw a huge tree stump, Dad said and mom confirmed, off to one side. After we passed it I looked back to see it get up and walk away. A huge brown bear!
Hunting in the mountains in New Zealand a long time ago, my friend and I arrived at an old hut in the bush about an hour before dark, we unpacked our gear lit a fire as it was starting to get really cold and I said I would go down to the creek to get some water. It was just getting dark as I bent down to fill the containers with water when a deep rumbling low growl started directly in front of me 10 metres across the creek on the other side, looking up I saw a large black dog crouched down staring straight at me with all teeth showing. I stood up slowly backing up reaching for my knife as the hound continuously growled. Got back to the hut grabbed a rifle and back outside but the dog had vanished. Was a very scary moment never to be forgotten 💀😳 ( this is just part 1 of the story )
Part 2 please.
Most likely a wolf? A loner wolf, withOUT his pack?
@@mariasartzis-pellicier1723 no wolves in NZ
As a father to a daughter, grandfather to five granddaughters, and one great granddaughter you could say I am over protective of my girls even though I want them to be adventurous and self-reliant. I don't want them to be afraid ever in their life. This is why if they ever decide to get a conceal carry license I will help them accomplish that goal. I know you have your dog and I am sure you take precautions like not letting out where you do your camping, but really I would carry a firearm with you just to be on the safe side be it four or two legged critters. PS: I tell their boyfriends - "If you hurt my granddaughter - I got no problem going back to prison" - of course I never have been to prison but they don't know that.

Sounds like the dad/grandfather we all would want and love.
Now that's the way to do it

One great granddaughter? What about the other four? They aren’t great?
absolutely get a carry permit for the two legged critters i dont worry about the four legged ones near as bad.
Your not alone in the woods, you have man's best friend with you.
I love the comments from the community almost as much as tje video. Everyone is so kind. It is a nice change from most channels.
Your relationship with your beautiful dog is so lovely...
I have a short scary story. One day my wife and I were hiking on a trail in the hills and as I looked back there was a guy coming on the trail we were on. As
we continued, we kept looking back and the guy was still behind us. Finally we looked back again and he was behind a pine tree, peeking out looking at us.
I took my wife very fast further down the trail and when we were out of his sight I brought my wife into some bushes and hid her from sight. Well, I then went
back down the trail with some good sized rocks in my hands for defense. But, he was gone by that time. My wife was freaked out, I was too. No further sight of him as
we went back on the trail to get to our car. Just the idea that he was spying through the trees on us made us uneasy. We never saw him again. True story!
yeah that's horrifying
😮
Just recently found your channel. I live alone and travel alone. Love to be in the great outdoors. While I am fairly well experienced, I have to admit, I feel fear, of course I do. A healthy dose of fear reminds me that I am alive. You go for it girl! Feel the fear and do it anyway. Thank you for all the tips and tricks. You are a wonderful inspiration. Something mes, I worry that I am so far removed from, “the traditional 2020’s woman” I feel like a freak! You are so much younger than I am. A fresh perspective and even confirmation that sometimes what we dare to do, leads us to an opportunity to feel something that might be a little bit uncomfortable but the incredibly rewarding. Thank you “Girl in the Woods” you are awesome! 👏
Brooke, I just love watching you! You're a brave soul😳. I have a creepy story. I'm 2003 I lived in Curlew, WA. I'M THE MIDDLE OF THE Colville national Forest. I had been over the mountain in Colville monthly grocery shopping and was on my way home. I was close to the Summit of Sherman Pass, it was just starting to get dark. Winter time. Something BIG ran ACROSS the road in front of me, then ran into an area where the snow blows had made a turn around. Curious, I drove very slowly and turned the car so the headlights would shine in the direction of whatever reason across the road. Sure enough huddled clear at the back of the clearing in the snow was something very Big crouched with it's back to me. Very Hairy and had definitely crossed the road on two feet... The hair on the back of my neck stood straight up and i thought i was going to pass out... Now i know there's a lot of controversy about Sasquatch, but I swear, I was starting right at one!!! The rest of the road down the other side of the summit was weird and I was so afraid of seeing another one... Never did... He's out there!!!
As kids mom n dad would go out saturday night leaving us alone. I always told my brother, younger, ghost stories. I was very good at it. He would wind up sleepin with me cause was scared. Mom would get so mad at me!!!! I always told him they were true stories. Ive always gone camping alone esp in colorado mts!!!! I hav heard things snorking around in my camp. Also hav just camped in sleepin bag when gotten to my site late after dark!!!!! Im now a 71yr woman!!! But these days i do worry more than i ever used to. Silence dont bother me. Its when silence gets noisy i get concerned!!!!! Ive camped in snowstorm and lov grits and hav one of those coffee filters. Gotta hav my coffee!!!!!!
I used to go to the woods a lot and I was hunting bear with a bow . I had some fears at night until I got so tired from my long hikes that I was too exhausted to fear and fell fast asleep. Over the years I began to realize that all the critters in the woods were afraid of the animal that walks with a two footed foot fall sound .
Many years ago, when I sold firewood, I was at my wood supply deep in the woods at the end of a long, narrow, hilly, winding logging road. I had driven my 1949 GMC dump truck in, and was backed up to a pile of wood (tree tops and smaller stuff) that the loggers didn't want. I was all by myself just as I'd been many times before. It was a bright sunny fall morning and I'd just finished filling my saw with gas and oil. I gave a pull on the cord to start the saw and it almost started when, suddenly, I felt that I was being watched. Huh? I looked around and couldn't see anything and I shrugged it off and pulled again on the cord and the saw fired up. Layed it into a log and started cutting when out of the corner of my eye I caught a movement which was in the woods adjacent to the clearing. I killed the saw and stared in the direction of the movement but could see nothing. So I walked toward the trees where I'd seen movement and that's when it moved again but it was probably 30 feet from where I thought it was. It was on 2 feet and it blended perfectly with the color of the trees which made it hard to distinguish. Is that a person? I think it is? But I just couldn't make out any color or distinguishing features that you would associate with a human being. I shouted... and again I shouted but I couldn't hear anything or see it. I remember thinking, damn gun in truck and it's way over there. Looking back again into to trees it moved again and seemd closer than before but still unrecognizable. I was spooked. Almost frozen in place and just barely able to move my legs to start moving back toward the truck when, it let out with a sound that was so loud and high pitched that it stopped me dead still. Completely scared and feeling powerless I had all I could do to turn and look in its direction. Trembling with fear I looked in every direction. Nothing? .... Regaining a little control of my body I started half stepping toward my truck when again, that horrible piercing sound and there it stood on two feet. Dark, big, with arms holding trees both right and left. Somehow, I broke into a dead run for the truck and felt it was right behind me. Once in the truck I struggled to get my gun out and I was sure it was right outside but as I looked all around and thru my mirrors I saw nothing. I got the truck started and left my saw and gas can behind and drove a little distance away but still in view of the clearing and looked and saw nothing but felt like it was right next to me.... following and waiting to pounce. I drove back out that bumpy, narrow, winding log road as fast as I could and didn't relax until I was back onto and far down the main road. I still get goose bumps when I think about it. I went back to see if my saw was still there a couple of days later when I got the nerve and knew the loggers were there. I just waved and grabbed my saw, and no, I didn't tell them the story. I'm sure the would have laughed.
And to edit this post, I liked the video and the different approach you take in making videos. It is different and fresh. The great outdoors is something that can be appreciated at a modest expense and without practicing things that require survival expertise. Camping with your dog (as in your case) or your family is a richly rewarding experience if you want it to be. Newbies should try to do it modestly and comfortably to start. Then, if they are inclined, they might enjoy learning survival techniques and the art of buschcraft. But until then, there is plenty of affordable gear to make camping pretty comfortable, and getting a fire started with the help of a good fire starter should help to make the camping experience enjoyable and relatively easy. Of coarse, best you leave the scary stories at home for the first couple of nights in the deep dark woods.
Thank you for this video.
Chuck Wagon thank you very much for sharing your story! Intense
Sasquatch does exist and the govt covers it up. Your not nuts, you saw what you saw.
wow what a true and scary sighting ! I wonder if it was pissed at you thinking you torn down its stomping grounds, i bet the loggers have many tales to if you could get them to open up, so what if they think your crazy at least they would be warned n maybe then share their stories if any they have, thats a scary event, Glad you made it out of there safe, you was rightfully scared for sure to leave back your chainsaw your main tool for your lively hood
@@AmericanPatriot-cw9xe I met a logger once who told me he was friends with a group of sasquatch.

Girl in the woods! You are a magical girl! Comes out in your productions! Was almost hypnotized watching and listening to you!
When I was a young teenager, my dad, his best friend and I were wade fishing along our favorite Smallmouth Bass creek. The only thing out of the ordinary on this trip was that the day before, 4 violent criminals had escaped from a local prison and had not been apprehended. Dad and his friend told me to keep my eyes open, my head on a swivel, and be aware of my surroundings. You can bet that my eyes were paying extra attention to those dark shadows in the woods along the banks of the creek. I was making my way along a rather rocky part of the bank, getting close to a large bush of some sort...when suddenly....about a dozen Grouse exploded from that bush. My heart knew for sure that I was about to get grabbed by an escaped murderer and it did its best to take flight through the roof of my skull. That was the scariest moment I have ever experienced in my life....and I just turned 51 5 days ago.
haha great story :)
Any outdoorsman or woman has had a similar experience. This is why I never venture in the woods without packing. My favorite has always been a M1911 in a military holster on a web belt. I walked into bigfoot habitat aboutb30 years ago. I had my .45 and a .270 WIN in the scabbard on my four wheeler and the bigfoot knew what these were. He did not approach me but he sure scared the hell out of me by pounding two rocks together. I did have my M70 across my lap with a round in the chamber. After about 30 minutes I got the hell out of dodge.
I've seen a squatch up very very close. I've never been that scared in my life. I was 14. I'm 45 now. I never go into woods without my side arm or long rifle.
I've heard them jump out of trees and take off, play in the water, think I saw a young ones tracks once, and had things thrown at me, heck they'll block trails and basically make them disappear with the vegetation and do things to keep you from ever coming back, it's pretty wild once you start adding odd things together, you'll notice a lot of activity, but I think our sixth sense tells us pretty well when they're in the area, that trespassing feeling and feeling of being watched and the forest goes silent, a silent forest is the most obvious, all these people think they can stumble around and take pics of them but sasquatch has eyes on you as soon as your car door slams, you're only seeing it if it's tried everything to get you out of its territory and you failed to notice, people gotta stop treating their habitat like a park, it's their home-garden-farm-whatever you wanna call it and if you scare away their meal or get close to their young then they won't be happy
-my two cents
@DR Evil yes there is.
The endings are off the chain, can't help laughing every single time!😄...thanks!!
I just cannot get over how much you remind me of me and my dog. You're talking away about the weather and then totally focused on whatever the dog needs to get comfy.
