SOMETHING Does Not Want Us HERE! Pacific Creek Valley Story

- Hi Campers!!
I hike into the Sierra Nevada mountains and find a grove of Giant Cedar trees with a small spring feed creek running through it. I tell a story about 4 hunters who go to the Pacific Valley in Alpine county, California in the fall of 1982. In this valley they have a strange, unexplained encounter that leaves them shaken enough where they realize SOMETHING does not want them there!!
I had solo camped in this same valley in the summer of 2020!
This one will give you chills!!
Keep Hiking!

My brother and I were driving along the highway in the mountains of Colorado one afternoon. We saw an old mine up in the distance with a very rutted and overgrown road leading up to it. We decided to stop and go take a look. We were able to use 4wd to drive up to the mine. We got out and were looking at the old rusted equipment left behind. The road continued up the mountain through the pine trees but it was very steep, narrow and rutted. I decided to hike up the road to see what was around the switchback. My brother stayed back to look at the mine shaft. I walked a ways up the road and around the switchback. My brother and the truck were now out of sight. As I continued, the hair on the back of my neck standing up sensation happened. It felt like there was something or someone watching me. I stopped. My instincts were telling me to turn around and leave immediately. I had never felt anything like that before and 20+ years later, I have never had a strong sensation like that again. When I think back about it I wonder what it could have been... a mountain lion, a bear, maybe someone had me in the crosshairs of their scope. Maybe it was nothing at all. All I can say is, if you ever have that sensation, follow your insticts.
I had the exact same feeling in Australia I go deep into the bush 2 weeks at a time. I believe you wandered into a.woodarchee. they seem to have an area of their own and for some reason they guarded .and you get a distinct feeling that you must leave immediately and trust me it is best that you do. If it had been night-time you would have seen them they live inside trees I know how that must sound but they give you a awful feeling of dread. you are being watched you really are being told to leave you are on there ground I am studying a case in Australia at the moment I have seen them go into trees and poke their heads out of the actual stem of the tree but much higher. up than a human with orange red eyes they are more like just spirits of the trees. It is very important that you do not go back because that feeling if you can remember after 20 years I believe that is what you in encountered . they are not particularly dangerous as long as you leave. Because they. Have a partner that is real flesh and blood possibly or maybe an interdimensional Bigfoot that's why you never find any bodies of Bigfoot but when they take their forum .they do a mock charge usually stopping just before they reach you .but if you do not leave I am sure you will not leave for sure you must remember where that place is and please stay well clear it must be some type of portal it could be sacred ground but for whatever reason it is there area .and they will if need make you disappear I know exactly HOW that sounds I do not speak to people about my experience very often I am in the process of trying to get. Proper footage of these ghosts.of.the trees and I know about the bigfoot that hangs around with them .but I am more interested in the Ghostly tree things I need them on footage. Like I said I spend long periods of time out in the Western Australian Bushland alone with my Archery it is where I find my peace .but I had stumbled. Across some areas that have these things where are the areas do not and every time I go back they are still there they know you're there immediately. there is no hiding from them the only thing you can do is leave. and the bad feeling well stop soon as you get out of there area is this what happened to you .it stopped when you left the area like a invisible line in the sand soon as you cross that line or ends that Forest line .the feeling of dread and extreme unwelcome NES stops they are all over the world just in pockets of particular Forest I bet you do not go out there or out camping there .haha . because I know that feeling very well. But I am very stubborn maybe a little crazy. but I am getting an understanding of what these things could be. I just thought I would share my story with you as it rang a bell. with me straight away. And I need more input on how far these things are around the world so thank you for sharing. But remember if you get that feeling you will remember it please leave cheers and good day from Australia.👍🇦🇺 I apologise for my grammar.
I live in a mountain town and in a part that’s surrounded by woods where it’s very common to see donkeys, coyotes and bears. One night I left a friends house that was maybe a 15 minute walk up from my house, as soon as I walked out of the door it felt off and quickly got to the point where I was full blown pushing downhill on my skateboard in almost pitch black. The hairs on my neck stood up so intensely it felt like you were a little kid and your older siblings would pinch your neck, I literally couldn’t stop pushing because of how intense it felt like I had to get out of there like I was being watched and followed by something that wanted to get me.
That happened to me 2xs before. Once on a remote trail head in the Pisgah Forrest of TN and a 2nd time on a remote hiking site in northern CA. There was an UNNERVING sensation of of being watched and a feeling that something was silently saying “You don’t belong here…leave…now!”
@@Bok2022st I’m in Roleystone.
I live in the remote mountains of Canada. I get that feeling when a mountain lion is nearby.
You are very brave to do these videos alone!!! I am a 50 year Male 6'5 240 lbs and was an avid outdoorsman until 1998.. I had an experience on a day hike doing the Turkey bend hollow trail in Camdenton Missouri about a 7 mile hike... I was stalked by what I can only describe as a bigfoot/sasquatch or the MoMo monster for several miles... I got a damn good look at this thing from about 30 yards or so and it was huge just absolutely huge but it wasn't aggressive or threatening just watching me... That being said i don't ever want to see something like that ever again and that's why i no longer hike or camp!!!
Thank you PH for sharing that...I just had my video where I had a story about Mo Mo...I cant imagine what you experienced ...the feeling of terror and unknown. If you like to share your story let me know...Thanks Chris
At 6’5 how tall would you estimate the Bigfoot?
@@StrongerThanBigfoot i would say 7 1/2 feet...
We are entering the times just like Noah did. They will come out. Some have invisible powers. There is also Dogman which is worse.
That's so terrifying!! I had an experience with Gray aliens and I'm scared to have another one. This stuff is so terrifying because we know NOTHING about them. 😢
I believe that “Hair on the back of your neck” is an ancient natural sense of danger. I experienced this once, at one of my boys athletic matches, when another mom introduced her husband to me. I had no explanation for this…he was pleasant and perfectly polite, but when I shook hands with him it’s like cold water ran down my spine, and my neck hair stood up! I was dumbfounded.
I had that happen with a guy while working in homless shelter. Winter in 2022. I know what you mean and he seemed like the nicest guy and not to bad looking but WOW. I was freaked out. 😢
Similar thing happened to my family of four in the Redwoods. Started with the forest going dead silent. Then we felt like something was watching us. As we turned to start hiking back, we heard noises that let us know that something was definitely keeping pace along side us up along the tree line. The experience culiminated when a huge log was hurled through the trees down at us. I can tell you we never ran so fast in our lives to get our children out of there! It's definately their turf and they let you know when they want you to be gone!
This one had me.
😮
WOW
Oh WOW! THAT'S DEFINITELY A BIGFOOT OR DOGMAN. I THINK BIG FOOT. TERRIFYING
I am a backcountry archery hunter and I usually go into the wilderness alone. Won’t see another person for days, no trails, no vehicles, no cell service. You are 100% right when you say you can’t let your mind get away from you. I’ve heard some things I still can’t explain. With the feeling of being watched. It can make you crazy.
I think the woods are alive. The trees are more than Beautiful. I could never roam thru the landscape solo. You’re very BRAVE. I wish I had 1/10 of your bravery. Stay safe and brave.
wow 👏
@Aristotle was Not a fan of Plato one time in the eagle mountain wilderness, which is very mountainous and steep, I was sleeping in my hammock and I heard a scream, like a human, not in pain or anger but, almost comical sounding. It woke me up so I wasn’t sure. Anyway, I heard it again from very far away, then about 10 or so seconds, I heard it again in the same direction only louder. Then I heard a reply, on the other side of a small draw I was sleeping above. Much closer. I literally yelled myself in as deep a voice as I could make. I didn’t hear anything else the entire trip, but was kinda worried in the back of my mind, day and night.
Another time I was in the strawberry mountain wilderness and I heard a pack of coyotes but only they sounded like a recording. A really poor recording, almost like it was played on an old synthesizer. And a terrible terrible stench. It was awful, like human feces smell and stagnant water but very strong. I heard the sounds over a few days and the smell would ALWAYS arrive.
There was another time I was in a national forest and heard rustling and clawing sounds not to far away and thought it was a bear, so I stalked close to it, when I got close to where it was it stopped, then heard a small tree fall back where I had come from. When I stalked back, there was a tree lying across my trail, literally where I’d been walking. Could have been coincidence and at the time, I chalked it up to odd luck.
The scariest thing tho to me was one time I was in the grizzley wilderness, I’d been there for 6 days and hadn’t heard or seen another person the entire time, I was miles in on a trailers trek sleeping during the mid day heat. I woke up from a dead sleep and felt like someone had shook me awake, I swore I felt a person shaking my entire body. I woke up terrified, couldn’t see at all, and my heart was beeping so hard I felt like I was having a heart attack for a second. It took me a couple seconds to realize why I couldn’t see. It was the middle of the night, I slept from 1:00 pm until 3:00 am. I’ve never slept more than a few hours straight my entire adult life even trying to sleep at night and taking sleeping pills I’ll be lucky to get 5-6 hours. How did I sleep 14 hours straight sitting up against a tree and have zero recollection?
Anyway I was spooked enough that morning I walked 12 miles back to my truck and went home.
These instances all happened in a span of about 10 years and always way way back in the wilderness where there aren’t roads or even walking trails and miles from cell service.
Take from it what you will, but I never go into the woods unarmed.
@@Heywoodthepeckerwood I'm one of those strange beings who researches peoples reports and encounters (periodically when I travel I get to hear reports from around several different worldwide locations but the majority are UK and then the USA sasquatch) and when you hear the experiences of so many different people unrelated to one another around identical or similar areas/locations you notice which specific details are cropping up with undeniable frequency ..and you.mentioned several..but i'm pretty sure you're well aware of what you've been experiencing, and like most, you're understandably choosing your words carefully...
For those reasons I thought I'd give a few details of some similar cases which have involved things you mentioned, maybe it will help some things to become clearer for you, or even just to describe anything at all which could help you feel less weirded out knowing others have had similar experiences..So I'll detail a few
@@Bok2022st There's elements of frequent details from ppl who have encountered two kinds of biped in what you're describing... BF/Yowie (or yahoo which tend to be smaller) encounters often involve large objects typically rocks or trees blocking the way ppl are using to enter their area, and many times they will mock rush ppl to the point they're convinced they are about to be attacked but they always abruptly stop short of physically appearing or leaving the treeline, but they leave no doubt about their size Strength and speed from the sound this makes.. many do it over and over again.
I love Chris. He says, "Don't let yourself get creeped out while hiking alone in the woods." He then proceeds to tell you stories that will creep you out while you're hiking alone in the woods. Fun stories though. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Lol
😆
😱 😂
That's just what I was thinking!😄
he looked creeped out he was constantly scanning with his eyes
Thank you Chris. I was shoved very hard from behind while standing before a ledge. I could only sit down quickly on my butt to not go over and was unable to be pushed any farther. Nothing was there. I am a strong hiker and not easy tossed around but I barely saved myself and wondered how many others had been pushed to their deaths in similar places. There was something there, but it could not be seen.
I have heard stories in CA about shadow people or shadow walkers... Bad spirits basically. I wrote it off as some fake tale by the local people to keep others out of certain places.
I was on another one of my solo hikes and ended up at a small camp along the pine ridge trail called ventana camp. It's a small camp along the big sur river and the first camp along the trail. I had decided to camp here after checking it out- I had never been down to this camp before and it was a beautiful spot along the river- plus I had it all to myself. Later after dinner I got spooked 😳😣 I heard something that I couldn't place and it seemed my eyes were playing tricks on me... Was it the firelight reflecting off the river? IDK. But I still cannot explain what I experienced or say with any certainty what I saw-- it was very dark in this narrow river valley. Anyway next day I hike out early morning and decided this camp was one I would forever bypass in the future for any other camp along the main trail.
Later in the week I met with a co worker who used to be a fire lookout and I told her of what I experienced. She looked somber, took a deep breath in and told me a very scary story. A woman several years back was murdered and left in a shallow grave at that very camp along the river!!!
If ever there was a place a bad spirit would hang around it would be at a murder site.
A lot seem get pushed
Noooo way! That's absolutely horrifying
@@linneaweilacher6168wow. Another scary experience
@linneaweilacher6168 I live in NorCal. It's not the safest place to hike or camp alone. I found noone to believe me and am surprised anyone is listening now. I feel vindicated by the the comments here.
My brother and I built a shelter amongst cedar trees when we were12 years old and used the fallen pine needles to line the floor; it was so soft like a cloud that you would fall asleep within minutes of lying down and sleep until morning. We used that shelter for 3 years next to a trout creek until the 4th year we arrived and some jerk had destroyed it. We didn't bother to rebuild it and found another place to camp, but the time we shared there are still fond memories I will never forget. No monsters there just good times. Love the stories, I did have one encounter with a big foot in the Blue Ridge Mountains of PA back in 1988 where it was breaking huge limbs off of trees as it walked towards me on the power line. It wanted me to move out of the way and I quickly obliged, so I never saw it clearly but it was on 2 feet and huge. Keep on Camping.
Some Tribes believe that you're supposed to always listen to your surroundings and pay attention to what you're being told. In 2020 I knew something was telling my family and I something but we ignored everything that was shown to us and ended up paying a horrible price. We are living in Southern Montana but originally from Northern Montana. We went home for a short visit and I had to get right back home to southern Montana as I had work. While visiting with my dad he asked that we stay and visit one more night, I told him I couldn't that I had to get home so we proceeded to get ready. Later that morning my driver's side window stopped working out of the blue, never happened before but I worked on it for a couple hours and couldn't figure out what was wrong. It started working again on its own. We loaded up and stopped by my family and my in laws places to say our "see you laters" (Natives don't believe in saying goodbye and there is no word for it in our language). Again, my in laws asked us to stay as it was getting too late to leave. Again, we insisted. We got on the road and want on the road but a half hour when the vehicle starting overheating. We pulled over and shit the vehicle off for a few minutes to let it cool down and after about 20 minutes we were back on our way. Stopped at the next town and grabbed some coolant, filled up the radiator and were on our way again. Got about another half hour down the road and my youngest daughter started getting car sick, something she never experienced before. Got some Dramamine and kept going. A couple hours down the road we nearly hit a deer and started discussing maybe pulling over and staying the night at a hotel. We thought it was a waste of time and money and were not going to be denied. Finally got about an hour away from home and a huge fire was burning and they evacuated that small town. We needed gas as we weren't sure we had enough but decided to chance it and the highway patrol let us pass (we were the only ones to pass). Not even 15 minutes later the wind changed directions and blew the fire in our direction. The smoke actually overtook us and it caused us to slow way down as my wife couldn't see even 5 get ahead of us. My children were crying as was my wife. The fire actually overtook us while we were on the road and my wife accidentally drove into the ditch where I made her get into the passenger side and I drove us back into the road. I got us turned around and could feel the intense heat still (in my panic I failed to realize that we were safer staying parked off of the side of the road especially being that the grass was already burned (like firefighters use to protect themselves called a back burn). The heat, smoke and my family panicking got me thinking that I needed to get us away from the danger. Back on the road driving maybe 40 mph barely able to see 5 to 10 feet ahead of me I saw headlights coming at us. All I could say is "god please save my babies". BOOM!! Head on into a truck that was on our side of the road. (Apparently he was told not to drive towards the fire but he did anyway) and my wife and I were pretty seriously injured although I couldn't tell as I was doing everything I can to ensure my babies were ok and not in danger anymore. A highway patrol died up, I carried my babies to his car, made sure the wife was alive and alert and finally after the ambulance arrived, collapsed with a broken foot, 3 broken ribs on one side and 2 on the other. A broken tail bone and lacerations all over my head and face. We got to the hospital transported in 3 separate ambulances and amazingly my babies were unhurt with the exception of some very minor bruising and cuts. My baby had a bloody nose. My wife injuries were pretty similar to mine with a few less broken ribs. I think I hit the steering wheel. The cop said he swore he'd come across a multi fatality crash but amazingly everyone lived including the other driver. If we'd have taken any of those numerous signed telling us to stay one more night I'm a firm believer we'd have made it home safe and sound with no lasting after effects. I thank God every day we all lived, guess there are aches and pains to this day but I'll gladly live with them as long as I have my wife and children healthy alongside me. Thank you Creator. Listen to what's being told to you. I should've.
Wow, Amazing story, thank you.
👍 movie
no body cares
@@donhanlon you seriously read that whole story and you claim you don’t care? Why did you read it then?
@@donhanlon Normal people care.
When I was a kid, I was sent to deliver food to my gramps, he was working far far away from home, long story short, it started raining and I sat down under a tree for a long long time, to the point I felt the tree was moving.
A preacher was down by the meadow and saw a bear charging at him. Preacher looked up to the sky and said "God, please turn this bear into a Christian". There was a clap of thunder, the bear stopped, put his paws together and said, "Bless you Lord for this food I am about to eat".
Ouch. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉nice
Partner, we are of a mindset. Nothing relaxes me more than to be in the wilderness by my campfire, all alone. We live in Colorado an have some excellent backwoods areas. My wife thinks I am unhinged because she is afraid of the dark but it relaxes me as I am a police officer and appreciate the quiet of the mountain woods. Love your stories, keep them coming.
Something similar happened to me I'm from Australia I was staying at a place called Dua Valley river I'm sitting by the camp fire by myself and get that feeling I'm being watched from behind I was nearly frozen with fear I managed to sum up the courage to turn on my flashlight and look behind me I was met with a pair of glowing eyes pretty much level with mine I yelled scanned my torch and it was a bloody kangaroo standing in the bush scared the life out of me
Wow that’s pretty scary, even if it was just a kangaroo. They can do some damage!
That was hilarious, I loved it.
You guys got killer tarantulas, surrounded by bull sharks, venomous snakes, fire ants, Kangaroos, could you guys be anymore dangerous??!! Now you sasquatch??
@@analyticalhabitrails9857 don't forget huge crocodiles in most rivers up northern Australia. Dingos also haha
I appreciate the story but using even 1 period would make it easier to read. "... And I get the feeling I'm being watched from behind (period)"
I live in woods like that and refuse to go outside after dark. My friends tell me, "Oh, you should put up some trail cams " and I tell them, "No way. I don't want to know what's creeping around out there at night."
Haha yeah, better to not know lol
If you want whatever it is to stay away, put up trail cams haha
Probably just some solo camping schmuck like me. No worries. I get lost once in a while. I'll be on my way. Carry on.
@@jegr3398 🤣🤣
Smart Man
The Native Americans had many of these occurrences. It's sasquatch telling them to leave the area. The big apes resort to throwing rocks to get you to move on. They will follow you out to make sure you aren't going to bother them OR their younglings. The Native American's consider this as normal and they just leave the woods people to themselves and allow them their space. Many, many stories of rocks being thrown, sticks/branches being broken is very common experiences people have that they cannot explain. It's Sasquatch.
I am from the UK and so interested in these amazing experiences! This is similar but in the moors my Nan and grandad lived, a house surrounded my forest down a long track, away from civilisation, I would stay for a week during summer and sleep in the lounge with the dogs on the sofa. I was young and would smoke out of the window, one night I was looking out and smoking, then I saw 3 old faces, men with beards who looked like they were from the 1800’s or something projected onto these bush, trees in the distance and I swear they were looking right at me. In the dead of night, everyone asleep and I pinched myself, went away and went back to the window and the faces were still there. I never saw it again but I always wonder, what on earth these faces were and it’s stuck with me
May I ask which moors?
What was you smoking?
I've seen a juvenile dogman in 1997 in Barnet at 2am with 4 friends cross the road and we all thought it was a bear at first then realising no bears live in the UK and then it stood up and started walking across the road and had a medium size tail and large ears upright
I’ll tell you a funny story. Our property is surrounded by woods, and we like to sit outside at night around our fire pit. We have a great variety of wildlife, including the occasional juvenile black bear. We see owls and here them, too. One night around sunset we were enjoying the fire, and began hearing some type of bird off in the woods behind us. My husband decided to start mimicking it. With each response it made to my husband, it was getting closer, and a little clearer. I was sitting about 18 feet from a large stand of pine trees when this “thing” began making these clicking sounds, followed by these weird trills. My husband thought it was funny, but I was out of there. The sounds reminded me of those little dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. I went in the house, I was done. Turns out is was a little Screech Owl😂
Omfg that's hilarious 🤣
That happened to my wife and I while we were drinking coffee in our back deck. All of a sudden, I hear that very same noise. It did remind me of those raptor dinosaurs as you said. I never knew what it was, but we do have some big owls around here and it may have been one and the same.
Good idea to carry a AK-47 or two and let out a raffal or two in that direction .See if anything comes out or keeps following lol.
Now that is a wonderful story! You made me laugh so hard I cried. I am sure I would have been scared stiff. Thank you for sharing and giving me shivers.
Judy shut it
There is something so creepy about woods at dusk. It’s even creepier than when it’s pitch black. It’s that unnerving silence and patchy shadows and feeling of being watched.
Yes I hate dusk
It’s a leftover human reaction from the times when humans lived day to day and at risk of wildlife predator in attacks. Most predators are nighttime hunters so it’s natural that human get antsy at dusk because the time of the “hunt” was near. It’s a survival instinct!
Our imagination and the silence looking out for predators will make a squirrel sound like a bear barreling through the woods....but always no matter where you are trust your gut instincts but most of the time we scare ourselves as I used to walk through the woods at night as a kid just talk to yourself as if you're not alone or scared works every time or it does for me!
It's definately a survival instinct. Pretty advantageous to have a sense for danger, especially when naturally dark wooded areas are full of predators. Plenty of our ancestors that didn't have any fear would've got eaten. It is solely about predators but our minds like to be creative and make us think wierd things. It works if it makes us careful
That’s when animals come out
Hi Chris, I'm in Scotland, i love listening to your stories. I also love all the beautiful places you visit, some of the scenery is spectacular. I'm not sure we have any strange things here in Scotland, but you never know. This world is s strange one!
Chris… you sir have balls of steel for being out in the forest telling this story all by yourself. I’m here in my room in a home with my family members and I’m still spooked listening to the story! Your bravery is one to be admired 🙏🏼
Agree lol
😂
I was getting scared before he even started his story. I kept thinking he was going to be hit by a rock
I was camping up on Spruce Knob back in 92, maybe 93. Highest mountain in West Virginia. Was up around 3400 ft, 14'X14' tent, set up camp and ate dinner late around 9 pm. Finally kicked back drinking a beer fireside around 11:30 pm and not too long after heard something walking up the mountain, bipedal. Sounded about 75 yards or so down the hill. If you're a country boy you know there's only two things walk through the woods on two legs, humans and turkey, and ain't no turkey struttin' through the forest after dark. It took some time but I listened to it creep up the hill till it sounded like it was about 75 feet or so away. I hollered out "who's out there" .. nothin for about 5 minutes. Then it started coming up closer, I pulled up my flashlight along with a .357 I had sitting under my camp chair. Didn't see anything or hear anything for 15 minutes maybe, till I heard a sudden large branch "snap" Few minutes passed and it came straight up by the sound of it. I hit the light and aimed at a big tree in that direction and let rip two rounds into that tree, and it ran back down the mountain so fast, giant strides. Blind from muzzle flash, all I could do was listen to it crash down the mountain till I couldn't hear it anymore. No human I know of can run down a mountain like that in pitch black darkness. I finally fell asleep sometime around 4 am, woke up two hours later with that Ruger still in hand, just a layin' on my belly. And I ain't been back since. So, any Y'all run up on something like that in in WV.a, please let me know.
Thank you for sharing
Bigfoot
Ohio Grassman! Or black bear, the official state animal of WV. You scared him good.
Holy smokes! That's so so so terrifying! I'm happy your still here!😮
Wow! You know what's interesting is I heard that sasquatch tend to stalk/watch us from about 80 yards away, that fits right in with your experience! I think it was from the channel 'The Facts by How to Hunt' lots of stories like yours shared there from members of 'the club of no return'.
The structure you found was like many others that researchers say are built by Sasquatch. A lot of peeled bark in an area is something else they supposedly do.
Thanks for the info - creepy looking structure either way.
Hi Chris. My story isn't supernatural, but about the dangers of nature. When I was a boy I loved staying at my grandparents farm especially during the spring. One night I heard what sounded like a child or a woman screaming. I ran to tell my grandpa about it, as I was putting my shoes on he stopped me. He said it wasn't a person, the was a panther.
I love your campfire stories Chris. It takes back to my grandparents farm when family and friends camped telling similar stories.
We lived up in Fairplay, Colorado once on a ranch not too far from town and I can verify that story about the sound of a woman screaming. A friend and I went up on one of the hills around the ranch once and set up a really nice picnic. We were just about to start eating when we were stopped by the screaming. Without further ado, I started packing the food back up and told my friend, we had to head back to the ranch house and make it snappy. She was shocked but she could see how serious I was and we hoofed it right back to the house at a pretty fast clip. We got to the house and that's when I explained to her about the mountain lions making those types of noise. They truly do sound like a woman screaming! And it was close as heck to our picnic spot, too!!!
*I* was that Panther. Rrreowwwrr
@@anaryl now that's funny as heck!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
This video randomly popped up in my recommended feed. I camped in Pacific Valley with my brother and dad in the late 80's or early 90's. At night we heard branches being snapped and weird wooping noises coming out of the darkness. The next morning we pulled up our stakes and decided to head east, then south on 395. Ended up camping near Big Pine where we caught a bunch of trout. Thanks for bringing these memories back for me!
Wow...what a story! The trout fishing sounds fun.
Branches snapping at night will have my full attention.
This was my first video of yours I watched. You seem like a likable guy. You are braver than me. I won’t camp alone after hearing stories about Dogmen, skinwalkers and Windego. I’m from Wisconsin.
awe dont let that stop you fear attracts things that feed on fear so dont be afraid
@@jasontipton8430 you need to check out the current status of places at National parks, and OK 'pack of wild dogs maulings'.. check Miss Mears, Mr.Chandler, Miss Hamilton.. it goes on.. daytime.. walking - Miss Mears was in her yard! - just want to help 🙏 I recommend 'abnormal investigations'
How about a couple of werewolves, ghosts and black eyed children thrown into the mix...
But seriously, don't be afraid, these things just want you to feel fear. I agree it's not the best idea to go hiking alone and I really admire Chris for doing just that - he must have nerves of steel! But go with friends and you'll be fine.
Your afraid of those, just think in Wisconsin is the bobcats, wolves, coyotes, and black bears. Hate to tell you that the Sasquatch is in Wisconsin also, but if you let fear get in the way, you will miss a lot. Having faith and trust go with a bunch of friends and it still can happen.
Same bro. Not that I ever had interest in camping, but this just makes me stay away from it entirely. I’ve been listening to a plethora of these stories from a guy called MrBallen, and they’re just making me scared of the forest lol. Especially at night. Think I’ll just stick to watching trail camera videos on RUclips.
At home I don't believe there is a Big Foot, when I'am out camping by myself I do.
I'm kinda the same....
@@basecampchris My i ask do you ever notice any of the tree structures associated with the bigfoot the X's or Arched trees tucked into the ground or intertwined With other trees , Or the stacked rocks ?
Watch How to hunt on RUclips. You’ll believe then.

it is very real
A couple years ago I was there at Pacific Creek Valley Campground with my wife and young kids. We were following the creek which was flowing pretty good being early June. As we were walking something BIG ran fast though the creek up ahead of us just out of sight. We quickly made a u turn and hustled back to camp. Lol
So many things come alive in the woods at night. I grew up around thousands of acres of woodland in Florida, me and a couple of buddies used to camp a lot when we were teens. I remember the first time I heard the owls over our campsite it scared the crap out us. The more we moved around the woods at night the more I realized the woods are safer than being in town. There's a lot of crazy stories out there and some are true and of coarse some are made up but I've never had a bad experience out in nature.
You are right.... Good to hear!
Florida swamps at night reminds me of the song Swamp Witch by Jim Stafford
@@sstritmatter2158 It does get pretty creepy at night in the Florida Scrub and/or swamps.
Drew: on this age and year, we are really not safe anywhere. 🤷🏻♀️
Chris, you are very brave, and I love your memory , and History knowledge. Iam a lady 65 , pretty much homebound now , but it still doesn’t stop the adventure , and love of outdoors in me. I have seen a lot of scary things at night myself ,probably not done yet. You now how we are ,we figure how to get back out there. The woods I think are a lot more dangerous. People are more dangerous, animals, seem some different, and I personally think the woods is starting to grow with Sasquatch a lot ! Once I was hiking in a woods with then husband , he has passed on now, but this woods was near housing , but still big woods down by river . Well pretty soon we started hearing bullets. I think it was a man , he was layed down on the ground behind a fallen tree , shooting at us, why I don’t know. So yes ,I think the woods that I know , mostly Indiana ,is a lot more dangerous, still beautiful, but much more caution needs to be took . 😊 Thanks for the adventures ,Chris , almost like being there. I’ll keep you in prayer ,and I’ll keep watching , Betty
Back in the late 70s three of us were up the Queets River WA. State, we were camped next to the river. Late that night about 11pm we heard big rocks being thrown around, so same thing as your story.... In the morning there were big rocks over 100 pounds all around our truck camper ... so big that it took two of us to move them so we could drive out. there is more to the story, I don't want to write a book here. But I know what your thinking... yep me too. Bigfoot Now I live about 80 miles south of the Queets river and I will only go up there in the day light.
Cool story bro. 🤪
Where did yall camped at exactly?? Like was it at a park?
@@analyticalhabitrails9857 From the town of Queets, we drove upriver on the dirt road about 4 miles and there is a big bend in the river and flattens out, we camped there. No park, State land
18 years ago I was riding passenger in my brothers pickup about 1:00am heading back from visiting his GF at her parents house who had a house up the side of a foothill near Issaquah. We came around around a switchback and the headlights lit up the road and I saw what I first thought was a deer but he slammed on the brakes and it turned sideways to the right and walked right in front of the truck in the headlights left to right and ran off back up hill. It was either a guy playing a prank in VERY realistic suit or an actual sasquatch. I lean toward a real sasquatch. You could see the muscle flex under the fur when it stepped and the dirty-ness of the fur/hair with leaves/debris stuck to it. A fake suit would have a look of being fake like loose fitting on a person, plastic looking sheen, etc. Either way once it walked off and we hauled ass out of there, the fear that kicked was not like anything I have ever felt up to and since then.
@@LowRoller420 LOL!
I had a bowling ball sized rock thrown at me in Canada. It was thrown over 30 yards. It flew over our boat about 10 feet over our heads and into the water with a huge splash. We took off because we had no idea what could have done that? a few years later a game warden told us that they (Sasquatch) were in that area and to leave them alone???
Wow...that get's your attention. Long ways too.
@@basecampchris Yes it got our attention. We looked at each other, my buddy asked "what was that"? I said it was a rock!! The motor was running just seconds later. We thew our gear down and took off. I realized the anchor was down and managed to get it up before it got caught in the motor. we stopped a couple of miles away and just stared at each other. We were unable to assign anything we knew to it. BTW...I tell people it was a 30 yard throw...it was farther than that. We agreed it a message of some sort. Didn't consider Sas until the warden told us.
@@jackfrost3573wow. I'M Canadian. Can I ask where?
I'm in Ontario. An hour from Toronto
@@raider7829 It was a small lake near lake Nipigon, west side. A game warden confirmed their presence and told us to leave them alone.
Recently found this video and your channel, Chris. Been enjoying your stories very much. I have loved the great outdoors all my life. I’ve heard wood knocks and howls and those feelings of panic and dread of being watched. Unless one has experienced the depth of this fear it is impossible for me to describe. Back in the late 70’s some college buddies and I were camping out on an island on a lake in Arkansas. We were all getting ready for bed that night in a big tent. I was by the only window when I distinctly heard what sounded like bipedal footsteps approaching the tent. My first thought was that a game warden had heard us out there and had come to investigate. The footsteps kept approaching and eventually stopped right outside the window, inches from me. There was no flashlight shining in, no smell, no nothing except that feeling of panic and dread. I knew nothing of Bigfoot back then but now reflect back on that unforgettable moment and now do believe Bigfoot came a calling that night to connect with me for some reason. The other guys didn’t hear it do to all the talking we had been doing. Scared me so much. Now it all seems to have been on purpose. Still amazes me and keeps me interested in what’s it all about. More to the story but too much go into here. Take care and keep the stories coming. Look forward to them.
A few years ago I decided to tackle section J of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington. In part to work on my “comfort level” while solo backpacking. I was a little uneasy the first night being the only camper in dark woods and hearing footsteps outside my tent. Turned out to be a grazing deer! All was well until the fourth night out. Just at dusk I heard extremely loud wood knocks about 30 yards from my tent. Sounded like a huge wood baseball bat against a dry tree. 3 knocks in succession. Then silence the rest of the night. I finally got to sleep but it was extremely difficult to maintain that positive attitude! I’m enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work.
knocks in trees are random and normally happen when large branches high in the tree collide with another. some trees grow to rub and knock all day!
I did section J in '16 late Sept./early Oct. What an amazing hike.
@@jegr3398 - NOTHING like section A however...
Hope I’m not the only one. Here being scared for his life. While he is telling us this story while keeping a lookout for animals, makes me think he is scared while telling us this story 🙈 makes it even more scarier 🙀👀👀👀👀🙈🙈
I spend a lot of time alone in the Cascades camping, hiking, panning, etc. Once I was walking through the forest along a ravine and instantly heard/felt something. Impossible to explain, but "it" wasn't using words, but communicated concepts instantly and articulately so that no other words but those I'll use would fit, if that makes any sense. I felt a "glowering" entity, hostile, and far more powerful than I am. I sensed where it was, but it "said":
"This is not for you. You don't belong here."
I wondered, "Why, because I'm intruding in the forest?" (I should mention it was silent and the area seemed dark and heavy)
"If you continue, _______ will happen to you."
Before I could question what it meant, like death? It cut my thought off:
"Worse than anything you're able to conceive. If you look for me, it will happen to you. If you turn your back on me, it will happen to you."
I have no idea how long this took, but I knew to keep my eyes frozen ahead and side step it out of there slowly, literally backtracking my own footsteps. In just about five yards or so, the feeling dissipated. Sounds came back, the sun returned , everything seemed normal. I walked about twenty more yards, then had the curiosity to finally look back at the area I was in. Looked totally normal. Never had such an experience before or since. I don't even have a theory what it was. It was above me, maybe ten or twenty feet up, on my left, but also up in front of me too, strangely. I just knew I was outmatched and didn't stand a chance, it wasn't an animal or anything I know. Crazy.
I think what you experienced was a Jewpacabra🤣
@Shibby__Laterrrr187🖕🏻 😂😂😂
There's a lot of strange things in forest. One could be easily lost. We have this beings in Asia. Just like what you see in Lord of the rings, the elves, fairies,guardians of the forest. Hundreds have withessed it and hundred have losts too. Some says there were portals everywhere
There's a lot of entities living in the forests.. My grandma told me that when she was about 10 years old while living in the mountains with her family, she would often see small naked people about 5 inches small playing in the secluded parts of their land around sunrise or sunset.
Interesting. I have had an experience twice kayaking the Pine River in Michigan. I've kayaked it many times with others, but the times I was alone I had the same experience. And this has never happened any other time I've been in the woods, in any other place. Just on the Pine River. But I had the feeling that the trees were talking to me. And I don't mean that literally --- I don't mean that I heard words being spoken, or even heard words inside my mind. But I felt there was an energy coming from the trees collectively --- that they were conscious, and aware of my presence, and had a message that was beyond words or even conscious comprehension. And this feeling didn't last for the entire 3-hour kayak run, just for a short period of time along a certain bank of trees.
This gave me the feeling that trees, and perhaps even other plant life, are ALWAYS conscious and communicating through some form of energy, but that we simply rarely perceive it because we have so many distractions in our lives.
Your comments, and my recounting my own experience in the Pine River, also resemble the comments of a friend of mine who spent a couple of years in Alaska when he was young --- 19 or so. He literally spent his last 3 months alone up there, and he said when the plane finally flew in to pick him up at the designated day they were supposed to come, they thought he had lost his mind. He had fashioned a hat out of the hides of various animals he had hunted, and said he had other strips of skins/furs tied on his long hair. And he said that everything was talking to him --- meaning all of nature.
My experience with the trees came probably 8 years after he told me this story.
So I believe that humans used to sense the energies of nature more consciously and directly when our societies were simpler and we lived in greater harmony with nature. And for some of us, when we get back out into nature that sensitivity can return to us briefly. We can catch glimpses of it, fragmented and brief experiences of it. That seem odd and alien to us today, but it's a vestige of a lost capacity --- a different and normal state of consciousness that we've lost touch with.
Just when you think the perfect channel doesn't exist.. thank you Chris i just stumbled across your videos and you create the perfect combination of two things i love. Scary stories, and the woods. I am loving your content!
Wow, thank you!!! KH!
@@basecampchris Of course!
Wow. the creepy music at the end while you were hiking out was incredible. I am 58 and over the years I have had an abnormal amount of creepy stuff happen in the backcountry. It is my opinion that wildlife (deer, bears, mountain lion, etc) and other people are not as intimidated by a solo backpacker as they are a group. So, since I am almost always alone, I have had more than my fair share of things that go bump in the night (and some that went bump in broad daylight). They were not fun at the time, but after its over and I get safely back home they are like an adventure. I love the woods.
Hi RT - Thanks for the comment. Very interesting....if you'd like to post more about your experiences in my comment section ...that would be interesting.
I'm the same way but never any truly bad experiences. That's true hiking in a group is always better but I just can't find anyone that wants to go. Personally I do not hike after dusk and I always bring heavy firepower.
This same thing happened to me back in the mid 90’s while I was out walking through the backwoods of East Central Minnesota. I had been walking on trails and sometimes right through the thick woods because I knew these woods like the back of my hand and I had hunted these woods for years. Anyway as I was nearing my home I came out of the woods into a grass filled open area of about 6 acres and I started walking along the edge of the woods and just as I started walking this field to my left and about 30 or so yards into the woods something that must of had a large body started walking with me step by step but it was breaking large branches like they were just twigs and as soon as I stopped it stopped and I might add the woods were so thick you couldn’t see 5 feet into the woods so how did this thing whatever it was know when I walked and when I stopped and mind you I was walking in soft grass and I had just came out of the same woods this creature was in without knowing it was there, but this walking and stopping and making all this loud noise went on for about 30 yards until I finally went across the field away from whatever was following me and by the way I did not bring any weapon with me on that day. I have no idea what in the hell that was but by the noise it made stepping on and breaking those large branches it had to be very large and heavy.
Crazy scary 😮
That's terrifying dude. 😢
A simple tale but well told. I literally had goosebumps and admire your guts by camping | hiking alone, rather you than me.
I woke up in a crappy mood. Then I watched this video and you managed to cheer me up. Thank you, Chris!
Great story Chris ! Been there with the gorilla-like shelter and and parallel tracking pushing trees over and the rocks. Smaller rocks than that though, and mumbling nonsense at 3AM with a female voice. Messed with me all night. It scared me off by pushing over a tree with hornet’s nest in it as I was hiking back out. This was in Missouri. Gave me PTSD for camping for quite a while. Afraid to camp alone anymore!
Wow Austin...that is quite a story and encounter you had...sorry it gave you such a hard time...Can't imagine a night like that...thank you for sharing that. BCC
I would have definitely persued that female voice, no matter whats making it! Yea it sucks having the mind of a man that lives and works in the mountains
Great story Chris! We live surrounded by 650 acres of forest and we hear coyotes, owls, foxes, bob cats, etc... all night long. My little Scottie had gotten lost in that forest one late afternoon and I went in to find him. Not a peep could be heard when I got deep into that forest...no frogs, owls, etc...Scared the living daylights out of me - Found my dog though and we hoofed it out of there fast! Can't come up with a reasonable explanation as to why it was silent - just bizarre. Stay safe Chris.
I wouldn't dare camp by a bigfoot structure! Brave man! Hope you're packing some heat! Subscribed.
Hi Chris, Great Story. The Phrase for the Tree Falling is. If a Tree falls in the Forest, and your Wife’s not there to hear it. Are you still wrong? Thanks for bring us along.👍👍❤️
Well said! Thanks! C
I was salmon fishing with a friend Under the Franklin bridge just north of Thornton California & a huge light blue triangle ufo slowly floated past us
Up close like a scene from a movie, it was like it took the sound away from the wind in trees, we froze in fear and it kept going like 10 mph then disappeared past some trees. We talked about it all night super excited about seeing the craziest thing in our lives. The next day I start talking about it & he has this confused look like he didn’t know what I was talking about then he said oh yeah how could I forget something like that & his eyes got big ,jaw dropped & we both got chills so hard tears poured like we both just realized that more happened than we can remember..
"realized," not "released." Sorry I found this experience fascinating and unable to resist clarifying it for others who might read your comment.
@@WhimsyWendy thank you..
Oh Gawd help us! I know Aliens are real. They were in my house around 1997! Terrifying
I had an experience that spooked me, and I wasn't even alone in the woods.
I was car camping in the Manistee National Forest in Michigan. I was with my girlfriend at the time. We were at the Lake Michigan Campground (the Manistee National Forest has something like 9 or 12 sites scattered throughout). The campsites are spaced out a nice distance, and you are immediately adjacent to deep woods on all sides.
At about 2:00 AM both my girlfriend and I were awoken by one of the loudest sounds I've ever heard. It sounded like a huge camper or something had been tipped over --- it sounded like steel hitting the ground hard.
I was just guessing that a bear had tipped over a camper. We both froze and remained silent and still for 15 minutes. I was expecting to start hearing screams as a crazy bear began making its way through the campground. We were in a tent, so I was listening intently for the sound of a bear entering our campsite.
Nothing happened, and we eventually fell back to sleep. The next morning I walked around looking for a tipped camper, and there was nothing. We asked many other people if they knew what the sound was, but none of them had heard it.
Then I began to wonder if it might have been a huge tree that had fallen, so I spent a lot of time walking deeper and deeper into the woods on all sides, and couldn't find anything.
I had an experience at Manistee National Forest in Michigan too. My then husband and I were camping in late May near a lake with our 2 dogs. Something walked on 2 legs around our tent and were talking in a strange gibberish off in the woods. There were no other campers in our area. I took out the flashlight and never saw anything. Took me years to figure out what it had been. Dogs were growling the whole time too, about 10 minutes.
Check out a RUclips video called ‘A trucker recalls terrifying experience of creature in Manistee National Park’ It so scary, he was just inches away from it in his truck window, he give full details of its features. You can sense this guy is telling the truth. It happened in the daylight.
Check out video on RUclips called ‘trucker recalls terrifying experience in Manistee National Park ‘ pretty scary, the guy seems very truthful, he saw this creature up close in daylight, very detailed.
What gets me is when your camping the nature sounds are doing their thing and then suddenly every thing goes dead still not a sound to be heard, always raises the hair on my neck.
I know this was a while ago BUT …you amaze me recalling scary experiences of others camping out when you are on your own.
Super BRAVE and great humour.
Thank You stay safe 🙏
Hi, your channel popped up in my feed, that was fun listening to that scary story, I'm in the right place bcuz I like hiking and scary stories
😮I live at about 6795 elevation, and there is a lot of pine forest near my house, a couple months ago I heard the distinct knocking of bigfoot that has been heard by other people in the forest, not joking, and it was definitely not a woodpecker
🤩 Have a great evening
I always love the combination of hiking and stories you put together, but gotta say the spooky ones have fast become a favorite. Thanks for all you do!
Glad you like them! I'm having fun...KH!
@MysteriousOklahoma The noise is coming from his jacket rubbing on his pants and stuff.
Why on some of your sights accessed through Facebook demand our personal information before making a comment.Your stories seam to coinside,with the reality of real encounters.I grew up in the Upper and lower peninsula of Michigan, from 1955 till about 1982, I and family and friends had literally,dozens and dozens of encounters there.Either camping, or bank fishing, or wade fishing,boat fishing all types of hunting and camping,squatches are just there..The long howling call is a locator call,,it tells where they are, who they are,are, whom all is in the woods.The return call is much the same.They reconsider then check out what else is in the woods then slowly over a couple days call differently the family in. They hunt and fish ,gather food ,check the disposition of family members,the split back up and melt away,for the protection of the family and their species. They will fallow the required food and nutrition, and fallow the food,much is vegetable and berries mushrooms ect.quit interesting.Maby your small party was going to interfere with a hunt- drive.?
Imagine bigfoot watching this guy alone in the forest filming himself...thinking this guys crazy maybe sick..I'll do the world a favour....
When I was 15 years old, I was walking home from my friends place. The moon was full, so I could see fairly well, which in turn kinda gave me a false sense of security, because I kept hearing branches snap. It was February, and a cold one at that. My friend’s outdoor dog was with me. As I was telling myself for what seemed like the hundredth time, that the branches were snapping because of the cold, all of a sudden something came crashing through the bush towards me. Boots immediately started growling, teeth showing, hair up. I remember saying, “Sorry Boots!’ as I took off running full tilt towards our house. To this day, I still don’t know what it was. I have been afraid of walking in the dark ever since. No way, no how, even for a million bucks, would I ever do what you are doing, go where you are going. Thanks for the stories, I enjoy them, even when they make my heart beat faster.
There's no one else like you. Please don't stop with your uploads.
I've been interviewing eyewitness of sasquatch sightings and reading hundreds of reports of odd experiences in the woods.
The rock throwing, parallel pacing and trees coming down are all very commonly reported. Huge rocks, even boulders being tossed way farther than a human could. The forest going silent. I've heard people report this over and over. Some of these experiences were in association with sasquatch sightings. It's no joke. The story told here on this video matches the hundreds of reports I've read.
Hey dude! Check out 'Yowiehunters Witness Reports', you will be in Bigfoot Heaven! Australian bigfoot/Hairy Man reports, so cool🙂
Do you have any idea why the forest goes silent? This seems almost as if everything in the forest, from animals to bugs, knows something terribly evil is roaming around.
I have met, and talked to people who have seen Sasquatch on the coast of WA. Last summer I ran into an old friend who had seen a WHITE Sasquatch when he was walking home late one night. He was walking down railroad tracks next to a highway when he heard branches snapping across the road. Then he seen it cross the highway, and walk down to the tracks he was on. He yelled at it, and it turned to see him. That's when he ran up to the highway where a car stopped because they seen it too. He knew the 2 guys, and got a ride home. He never walked home again after that. This happened about a half mile from the High School I went to!
G. Private,
The first I heard about rock throwing was reading about the activity in Ape Canyon, Mount St. Helens.
@@LittleKitty22 Evil?.. I think all creatures are intimidated by their size.
Had a strange experience out in the Cascades in 2012 with my brother while mountain biking and this thing followed us back to our cabin at the State Park…which was 30 miles east of Salem Oregon.
Also had a weird experience in 2012 when I lived in west salem. I lived in a forested area and next to a pond. I was sitting on my porch at night while smoking. I heard what sounded like a tree break in half or a very large branch towards the pond. And then the most gnarly deep growl (which I cannot even imitate) come from that same direction. I could not believe what I just heard...I went inside immediately basically in sheer terror. I didn't hear anything for the rest of the night. But I've spent years wondering what that deep growl was...it wasn't a dog, bear, mountain lion, human...truly a puzzling experience.
Lived in Salem 30 years. Up and down Hwy 20 to Bend and sisters. Never encountered anything at all darn it. Sure have in Arcata CA though in Redwoods!
I lived in West Salem Oregon on Larkspur then Pali Dr.
Great story as usual, thank you. How you have the spine to sit out there in the middle of nowhere and recite these, knowing you have a hike to the car in the dark, is beyond many of us. You know what can be there, but you carry on regardless. That's scary enough, without the story! Bless you and please take care. Ray from South Coast of UK.
My husband has pancreatic cancer and my sons are 17 and 19. I need to realease so much but feel the enormity of it all and am so overwhelmed. So one drawer , cupboard, room at a time.
I’ve experienced those feeling deer hunting. One time I got into my deer stand and it was still pitch black an hour before sun up and I heard a blood curdling scream from about fifty yards from my stand never knew what it was but it does scare the hell out of you
I’m totally agree with your ** positive mindset ** advise. Every noises / movements at night are extra bonus for solo campers
Thanks KA!
I remember watching a similar rock throwing story on RUclips captured on video by one Indonesian guy out fishing in a jungle. He happened to be recording as he sat there fishing in a natural pond when out of the blue a small boulder came crashing into the water opposite him! The poor guy was shocked that he ran off only to return to get his camera.
The only thing that creeps me out at night alone in the forests is bloody fox's, they sound like a screaming woman. Gets me every time. I live in a country where the most dangerous animal is a cow or a sheep 🤣
In Mississippi they have black cats there in the woods, sounds like a woman screaming in terror, got freaked out in broad daylight. Peace.
Mountain lions. Heard one camping on a river when I was kid. Absolutely terrifying.
@@TruthOverFeelings745 I couldn't imagine camping while mountain lions were near by 😳
@@aaronthemadd supposedly there are black cats here on the prowl in Britain, often come across someone who has seen them. Seems as though these people carry potatoes as phones 🤣
The forest is absolutely beautiful 😍 that was a great story, make sure you have a personal locator on you when you are camping or backpacking for safety of course. Thankyou.
Thank you Debbie! Keep Hiking!
Great spot those Cedars do love their water. Yeah I can scare myself sitting in my own house on the couch
LOL...yes I'll go back to that spot.
Your a bigger man than me , cleaning your frying pan like that . Hastings East Sussex England, I’m hooked on you’re posts X
I just started watching your videos. I love how you are out there hiking and showing the areas that you are hiking in. Then, stop to tell the stories. I find this to be very interesting, and absolutely LOVE the images and scenery.
U do a really good job. My name is David ply I live in Boswell Oklahoma and in 2012 September at 530 pm I had a face to face with the hairy man I’m not kidding we were less than 10 inches from one another he walk up to me on our family farm. He and his tribe watched me grow up out there and our in counters started at the age of 6 or 7 when I first started to remember things. I can’t tell u the fillings all at once when that happens. But 3 weeks later in bow season I was at camp making the sounds these hairy people made at around 4 am and within 15 minutes I called up these things I have no idea what they were but they were there to battle what I was pretending to be if I had not seen them and walked another 30 feet I would not be here. I am 54 now have no reason to lie about anything people say I’m crazy or a liar with I promise on everything I love these things are real and will come to you. There were between 6 to 9 of them one had layer down infront of me thinking I would walk into him and I would have if I had not seen them. I have pictures and people still don’t believe my best friend was with me but in the camper but after he seen the pictures he admitted the year before he was out there by himself in the camper and something reached through the window and grabbed him by the neck he said he barely got loose from it and he sat in the corner of the trailer till day break. Be careful don’t whistle or were bright close or were cover sent ever. Be safe u can tell ur encounters very well sir
Sorry. Can you re-write this? It's not clear what you wrote.
What did it do when it walked up to you?
Were they going to hurt you when you called them up?
Good stories Chris, you’re spot on about the feelings especially your gut instinct, this is your only friend you can trust in the woods when you’re by yourself and you must listen?
Absolutely...Thank you.
Carry a gun
Always trust your gut. Whether you're in the woods or in civilization.
Hello Chris. I am a new subscriber to your site. I enjoy listening to you very much. You speak to us as if we are right there across the campfire with you. The scenery and interesting camera angles are excellent. Your stories are great and as I said you tell them so down to earth everyone as I, appreciate the work you put into these videos. You show & tell not just stories but adventure to many such as myself unable to travel to these wonderful places. You bring them to us. Thank you.
Thanks and welcome Dana!!
Yup my travel/camp days are over, so it is good to listen or read stories about other peoples adventures!
This story was told to me by a friend a few years ago. I’ll present it as he wrote it exactly:
“I’ve only been camping a few times, but the last time I went I got really spooked. We had spent the entire day hiking through the angeles national forest to find out camp, and anyway by the time darkness fell we were exhausted and turned in.
I awoke some time around 3 AM and needed to relieve myself, so I stepped out of the tent and was struck by just how dark our camp area was. The moon was quarter full or so, and provided just enough light to make out shapes in front of you, but beyond totally inky black. I walked towards a small creek and attended to my business, when suddenly I heard a loud splash up stream where the water pooled somewhat. Startled, I froze to hear and process/discern whatever that was. And then something else happened, Probably 100 feet away or so, behind the tree-line, I saw something I couldn’t understand and frankly filled me with dread. Tucked somewhere behind the tree line was what looked like one of those masks you’d see in a Greek tragedy or comedy, looking in my direction. But utterly white, unmistakably bone or powder white. There was no body I could clearly see, but just inky black and shadows. And then it turned and was gone, poof, instantly. I noped out of there and back to the tent, with this feeling of my backside trying to beat my frontside to get back to the tent ASAP.. I went in and once inside I zipped myself in and held my breath for a moment. Was that real? Silence. Only the swaying of trees and gentle breeze. I think for a moment I could have thrown up, it made such an impression on me. The sound of the water splashing I can still recall to this day, like someone dropped a huge stone straight down from a height, a sudden unmistakable loud splash followed by a dull thud. As minutes went by and nothing further happened, I chalked it up to my mind playing tricks on me. I didn’t tell my trail mate, as I didn’t want him to think I was going Kookoo. I didn’t want to think I was going crazy. So yeah, I don’t think I’m crazy, hopefully, but that was pretty weird.”
Yea... i should have not read this at night. Spooky story though, is your friend still camping after that?
@@vexus6444 I don’t think so, but I can’t say for sure as I don’t know. He was very spooked, although it’s hard to say if he actually saw something paranormal or if his half asleep mind was just playing tricks on him. It can happen very easily is those kinds of environments and those circumstances. Being alone in the woods late at night is something most people go out of their way to avoid. But i can say however that he’s really not the kind of person who would make up something like that. He’s a pretty serious guy and isn’t given to whimsies or flights of fancifulness. So I don’t know, one can only judge for themselves in these matters, but I believe something strange happened.
White Greek tragedy mask? Sounds exactly like a barn owl.
the splashing might come from a beaver and the mask from a barn owl. pretty unsettling still
@@Villgauer that is plausible, but I don’t believe there are any beavers in the Angeles National Forest. The owl is a possibility, but the way he explained it to me was that it looked like it was at eye level peering around a tree, such that his impression was while looking into the darkened treeline, he suddenly could see something was staring at him the whole time, and then quickly concealed itself. An owl would also probably perch up somewhere higher, and they don’t tend to peer around trees.
I did my first solo overnight last summer to Bull Run Lake. It was beautiful! I was scared of running into a bear on the trail, but once at the lake there were a couple of other people there camping with big dogs, I figured they’d keep the bears away! This summer I’ll be taking my own, big dog!
---- 'big dogs' ( or dogs in general ) seem to often be the catalyst which precipitates bear attacks , while many ( most ? ) dogs don't subscribe to the "Lassie" philosophy and are more of the " I can outrun the human: let the bear get them " mindset - a solo hiker is in much more danger from their fellow hikers than from bears
I know a few huskies personally that would tear a man/bear a new bumhole if they saw their loved ones in danger. Dogs don’t always care about personal safety when they are in adrenaline mode depending on the breed and relationship with the owner/training. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation. I’ve had bonds with canines that wouldn’t let anyone even come near me let alone touch me (German Shepherd) and most certainly would stare down anything that challenged my safety. It really depends on the dogs temperament whether or not they would defend or run from the owner. Don’t count on your dog making it out alive if it gets to that point, though. Always remember that. The woods ain’t no joke. Consider the risks when you’re out there. Honestly nothing beats a good old fashioned firearm when things get out of control.
Great story, what an awesome cedar grove, they are beautiful !!! Love the Lantern !!
Thanks so much IH!
First time I watched this channel tonight. You washing the pan in the creek triggered a fearful memory I buried. Three of us tent camping in the mountains of Kananaskis Country AB 🇨🇦
I was sober, no drugs or alcohol. my turn to hike down a ridge to the river to wash the pots and pan. no flash light my eyes used the light if the moon. At river doing what you did I happened to look up at the stars and started to question if there was God as I was an agnostic at the time. The evening temperature was nice it was summer time. Then just shortly after that thought, came a rush of evil, uneasiness, not right? Then something to my right got my attention. It was a huge clump of fur something wrong this was a unknown fur. .. instinct took over I ran back up the ridge to my shelter and told them what I found alarmingly. They didn't seem to get it something was there watching us. So I just wanted to get away and try going to sleep to rid anxiety away. I felt fine before the river incident! In the middle of the night I had a life changing experience. I would not call it a dream or a vision. but I will describe it felt like my body left earth. Astro projection? Actually it was my soul. I could see earth and I was in outer darkness. Next thing I see is a huge Dragon like demonic creature thst spoke to me. I was in shock he had huge talons large wide tail like a kangaroo or alligator. His skin was tough like serpent. He felt like he had dominion in space and came after me because I was undecided what I believed. He had hundreds of thousand minions around him. He spoke loud and his presence is of an evil menacing laugh of confidence. He laughed saying you don't believe I want your soul. I was horrified like no other could of done, no story no movie no person nothing. This was the real deal. I looked away from his red eyes and seen earth and I was on a silver cord. I scream Dear God please help me.! God knew and in an instant I like landed back to earth and jumped up out of my skin so to speak from and grabbed for my necklace which was a cross on it. The necklace gone!. I kicked everybody out of the tent. I felt pain badly and it was bruised on my left arm and my lower right ankle had a gash on it some blood. My friend were 😡 and I had no answers what happened. we all were in own clothes there was nobody on my left side of tent no sharp objects no previous injuries. I never found the necklace that I had on which was a gift to me I had it on when I went into the tent to sleep.
What is my conclusion 40years later. Today I believe in spiritual warfare. Whether some of these things things are demonic very very possible 🤔 Now I see how serious is becoming whether you believe in Jesus Christ or the Devil because both exist. We all make decisions with our free will to choose what and how your going to believe. There is a supernatural realm that occultism leads to more darkness and then there is countless believers who battling these forces by the Power of Jesus death and resurrection that the demonic are afraid of because the Lord Almighty saves. that what happened to me that next day. I became a believer. I spent a few years after that looking for answers why no necklace why bruising why the cut and how do you get to space and see earth
it just was so shocking and unreal. Today no interest in the occult that means tarot cards. etc. all of it!! I rarely have gone camping again and some mentioned portals. There may very well be that luciferians have been open portals and we will see and experience more high strangeness so get yourself prepared by faith and stay strong and pray all times to God for protection and thanks. Sorry it wasn't short or whatever it's the first time ever sharing a personal life changing event. Be prepared for spiritual attacks.
You have no idea how right you are! I been through stuff I cant even tell but the Fantastic news is I FOUND OUT JESUS IS VERY VERY REAL. HE'S A CALL AWAY. AMEN FOR THAT❤
I absolutely love listening to all your stories Chris! Also the setting in the forest and the beer's make it perfect!
Glad you enjoy it!
Holy shit this reminds me of what happened to me back in 1983-1984 while meeting up with some other high school friends in East TN. We had something take are dogs on a long trek to the river and circkled back to us in the dark. tearing down trees above us. We broke into an abondoned house. Our dogs made it back to us and were terrified. They shook the whole time. we all had to hike out in different directions...we diecided to all walk out together to my house. we made it home and told the story to my dad.
Yeap, I would have left that night too. No second thoughts and no regrets. One flying boulder, could be coincidence, maybe aliens? Who knows? The second flying boulder, nope, nada, not hanging around, time to go. I love these stories, the bumps in the night and the unknown! I'm also a fan of the old west stories. Don't care which one I get to listen to, always good for a snack while I'm watching. Stay safe out there and cheers.
Thank you Ben - your comments are always helpful. KH!
That pile of tree branches might actually be a bigfoot tree structure Chris might actually be telling a scary story of bigfoot while camping next to a bigfoot tree structure without knowing it lol
Thank you for the wonderful stories I'm not much of a beer drinker but when I see those colorful graphics on those cans and bottles it looks pretty tempting, and it makes me want to drink one😆
I believe you absolutely have to listen to you're intuition. I have seen demons, ghosts etc. So when I do, it always happens. I mean whenever I have those feelings absolutely something becomes real. I have had this intuition since I was 22 or so. Even about people and I've always been right. My wife is a highschool teacher and whenever, I have a bad feeling about students and what, they might be doing is absolutely right. I've always been 100% right. My wife is always amazed because I can read or feel things and she is always amazed she says I'm weird and I have some kind of gift. Since I was young I've seen Ghosts, demons in a black mists and even woke up to a neon blue outlined ghost standing at my bedside and when I woke up, I startled it and this ghost jumped onto my bed end and then leaped out the window. My bed even shook when this blue, I mean outlined neon blue ghost, leaped head first out of the window. The window was shut. I then saw it run across the roof then watched as it vanish off the end of the roof, off the second floor roof, as the drop was at least 20ft.
Don't tell people not to trust their intuition, if they may even not know it's probably for a reason. It could mean life and death. Believe me. I know!!!
Thank you for sharing that....yes, never dismiss someone's experience because you didn't have the same experience. I've heard many times things like...a little girl see something in a forest and nobody believes her. They think it is her imagination
...Until they find out something later.
Have also experienced plenty of spiritual events. Only a few with visuals, most were physical (poking, pressure like something climbing/ sitting on me while I was half asleep, words said in a quiet room, etc.) If a person gets a sense of dread.. I mean, like a real sense, then I agree with you that they should expect to see/ experience something in the next few moments. My experiences with demons make me wonder about "bigfoot". Rarely is bigfoot described as being friendly. And, if you think about it, it doesn't make sense that it's so hard to locate one but that when a person wanders into the situation that the creature is often persistent and keeps up the encounters. The sense of dread people get before seeing bigfoot is just too similar to what I've experienced with spirits for me to rule out the idea that such sightings are paranormal.
@@matthewmosier8439 I think that bigfoot phenomena are somehow demonic in nature, though I don't know how they are.
Thank you for doing these videos! I used to go camping and hiking every weekend either in the mountains or the desert near the lake. It was ALWAYS hard coming back to town before Monday…. Even if we hadn’t slept from strange things going on in the night, and BOY do I have some stories!! I really miss it- you make me feel like I’m out in the bush again!❤️
That is awesome! I'm gonna keep going! Love to hear your stories....basecampchris2@gmail.com
@@basecampchris thank you, I will put a couple together for you! It seems like you would get a ton of stories coming in and a ton of sponsors. I hope those beer companies and camping supply companies know what a good choice you would be!! I will be in touch soon❤️
When you're alone in the forest overnight, all the primeval fears come to the fore, and you can begin to believe in anything lurking in the darkness.
That was an awesome story Chris! Thank you for the great story and the beautiful scenery.
This is exactly what sasquatch does. Not so much trying to harm anyone, just letting you know that they know your there, and a bit of a warning. They throw logs also and bang sticks on things.
Hahahaha!
Sasquatch 😂
@@MrRoundthetwist If you’re just here to mock and ridicule people, please go get some professional help with your mental illness. 🙏
I used to primitive camp all the time. Now I am a full time caregiver and just found your videos , it’s like the next thing to being there . Thank you 😊
I hope you can get out in the woods soon. Danny(Southern Sierra)
Great story! Thank you, enjoy watching your videos & hearing your stories. I have a beer also while watching your videos. Be safe!
Thanks! Will do!
What a very creepy story but an enjoyable one. The rocking throwing and tree falling incidents is so touching it gave me that vibe just listening to him. Damn I couldn't have imagine being there when it happened.
Like many others, there is no way I could be in those woods alone at night telling this story.
The deep woods hide so many unknowns that will never be known.
This is the first time I viewed your site and I was mesmerized! Great story telling!
Thank you Chris.
I would never go alone !
But your advice is very good - my inner self has saved my life more than once.
Chris, love your stories!!!!!!!!! I work at night at a junior college. So I eat lunch by myself most of the time. Your stories make my lunch time Interesting...... But I'm constantly looking around. Keep telling more.....
That is awesome! Chris🐻
Fun stuff, I live 45 minutes from being deep in the woods in the Pacific Northwest coastal mountain range. I have camped many times over the years in many scary spots deep in the woods and scared myself to the point of .. why did I do that? Now I have to pack up right away and leave.I’m taking about tree knocking (stupidity) I should know better I’m in my late 50s. Every time I have done that within 5 minutes I get a knock back or a yell always very different sometimes very far away once very very close. I would love to see you do a handful of knock’s deep in the woods. Will you try I mean try not pity pat knocking really try? As long as you have a device so you can be found… you’ll be fine. By the way.. I stopped camping and stay away from the woods when I’m alone, to many possibilities can happen. Stay safe keep your head on a swivel and watch your six and many more great stories ahead I’m sure.
Thanks again for another entertaining and educational video. I appreciate you're down to earth, and honest approach. I enjoyed it very much thank you!
Ok Chris...that looked like a Squatch hut to me. Please be careful out there. I can tell you this, I've been followed and seen a real Squatch. It's not fun at all. These creatures are big, strong and extremely intimidating! Take care bro!
Ponderosa and cedar wood bee my ideal setting 🌲🐝
thank you for the tips on positive outlook and staying occupied
I had a similar experience in the same area back in 1972. I was well armed, but it scared the crap out of me. I never got a look at whatever it was, but bigfoot comes to mind.
Absolutely loving the stories! Weather is starting to get better here in MN, Today looks like a great day to get the kids out on a hike
Thank you Mike! Originally from Minnesota...great time of year to hike. KH!
Absolutely Love the Scenery and Those Campfire Stories!! They have just the Perfect Creepy Vibe 😳 Thank You So Much Chris! Great Job! ☺
Glad you like them! Thank you Shirley.
Chris
I camp at pacific valley at least once or twice a year.
Been camping there for at least 8 years.
And hike down to the second meadow every trip.
That creek is amazing with all the waterfalls.
Only had one experience, that was last year. About 5 am in the morning I did hear a distant deep howl.
I know Bigfoot is around. Had a class B encounter at lake Alpine back in 2001.
I just found you on You tube and I really enjoy your stories.
very interesting! on the howl! It is a beautiful wilderness valley. Thanks Curt.
Perfect story telling setting! 🏕
My husband and I love your stories. He listens while at work, and I listen at home while doing dishes and housework. It’s awesome being able to envision everything you’re telling about, It makes both our days go much faster. Thanks!
That is awesome! Thank you Twospooked! ( like the name )
This is my second video that I’ve seen of yours and I’m hooked I love this type of content. I lived in modesto for 10 years and the Sierra Nevada mountains are so beautiful
That's great advice for solo camping - staying productive and positive to stop your mind running away from you, then spending the rest of the night worrying.
I think something like , if a tree falls in the forest, and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound? It's something to that effect. This reminds me of the mariposa Grove of sequoias in Yosemite. Been there several times, and its just amazing.
