as someone who is actually from NH (born and raised) this video was super informative and well made. also, massholes, idc if u moved here 2 years ago or 20 years ago, u will forever be masholes on the road and in spirit.
😆 Guilty as charged!🤣💖🤘
Thank you, Steve. New Hampshire has been my home since I got married 35 years ago. I'm a Massachusetts transplant. There are a lot of legends about NH. It was nice to see the state make it into one of your videos.
Good move, we wouldn't recognize the Massachusetts of today.
@mattmorrison9379 I live in mass and have all my life and that's 100% correct definitely not the same at all
@dandenallo5872 because they don't know how to drive and they double park lmao.
@@mattmorrison9379for the entitled news or the lettering or the thrashing of our states of the roads of our f****** rock faces the graffiti the garbage the attitudes the driving through so much
Just stumbled upon your wonderful videos. In the mid 70's I lived In Lincoln working as a ski instructor at Loon Mtn for 3 years, but never heard of any of these stories, thank you!
Welcome aboard!
Recently my daughter moved to White Mountains Region Of New Hampshire It is just breath taking and so relaxing
I randomly stumbled upon this video and I’m glad I did !
Love stories like this especially about my beloved home state .
More to come! Thanks for listening!
Granite Stater, born and raised. I grew up hearing stories like this about this ancient place and the things that lurk within in it. Glad to see the rest of the world now gets to hear them, too.
Roger that!
Born and raised in Portsmouth, I am a true lover of NH, and in awe of her beauty. Best of both worlds, we grew up on the beach on one side, and in the mountains on the other. I wouldn't want it any other way. ty for sharing the stories.
Thanks for listening!
I’m from North Conway NH., and I recognize all these place names from childhood, lots of stories from my home state. TY
Greetings from another guy who grew up here!

I'm camping by Jericho Mt, sitting by the campfire after my brother went to bed, and this popped up. Should be good!!
Ah! Vermont's twin state. Just as beautiful and just as many tales to tell. Thanks Steve.
Our pleasure!
@@mdeysenroth We are at enmity with Vt., or didn’t they mention that in the Memo ;)
When I was a kid on my way back from North Conway NH taking a scenic route back home near Boston; in the middle of the night with no else on the road. I saw a white light way off in the distance doing unbelievable stunts seemingly. It was like a laser being pointed in the sky and moving all around, it was in no way a spotlight or an individual playing, it resembled a star, and I asked my dad about it and we came up with a name, “Santa Star” and I don’t think I can ever forget that sight.
That's semi common in the Conway area, I grew up there and have seen that quite a few times. One time on Cathedral Ledge me and a group of friends saw it and the event lasted for like a bit over an hour, it had incredible mobility and certainly wasn't a plane or helicopter, it would do circles, zig zags, go up & down & even move backwards and also disappear and then reappear in different places. Walking back to the car we met some other people who had also been watching it, so it certainly wasn't our imagination lol. One time we also saw a craft during the day not very high in the sky while we were driving and it had hovering ability but was completely silent. It's a common opinion that these aren't aliens but are military operations testing new technology, tbh I'm not sure that's any more comforting than the alien theories 😅🫠
@@annamarie6528 glad I’m not the only one! I’ve never heard of similar occurrences
I live in the Ossipee area and often spend a lot of time up in Conway and the surrounding region. I have heard of most of these but you brought up a couple that I didn't know about. Thank you for a wonderful and informative video. I'm definitely going to go check out the Willey House next time I'm up that way. 😊
*edited to add*
Also, I love Betty and Barney Hill. I never did get to meet Barney, but I met Betty numerous times when I was little. My father was the head cook at the Victory Spa restaurant that used to be on State St. in Portsmouth and I pretty much lived in there and played waitress (I was 6-7 years old). Betty would come in frequently and I would always bring her toast and coffee. She would tell me an edited version of what happened to her and Barney all the time. She is the reason why I became so interested in the space, aliens and the paranormal. She was always so sweet and got a kick out of little me in my waitress apron.
Thanks for sharing!
I found a really old graveyard near Welch-Dickey Mountains. Park just off bridge 419 off of Rte 49 in Thornton heading towards Waterville Valley. As you park at the bridge turnoff, cross the street and hike up steep old looking trail road, which you can’t drive on btw, and follow trail straight until you see a little bridge over a brook, cross that and continue on path which is really narrow, and about 15 minute walk after bridge you will see hidden on the right side of the path an opening with multiple old graves. But I have to say, literally do not visit late at night, there is something lurking around that area that I’ve encounter a few times, the last time I ran out of there so fast with my bestie way in front of me... it was the first time my bestie ever seen anything like it, it was dark, very large, and smelled awful. I haven’t been back there in over 5 years.... it once was my favorite trail, not anymore. But if your looking for old gravestones or for a good spook, make sure you have a group and plenty of headlamps.
Located on the backside of Welch-Dickey off of Rte 175, you can find an old huge stone that looks like a Chief, just behind a gorgeous waterfall at the bottom of stone stairs. To get there, from Rte 49, take left at the lights that has the damn and sign saying Campton Hollows and go up hill on Rte 175 and follow until you come across the large cemetery on your left, as soon as you get to end of cemetery, there’s a street on the right, take that and follow passing a covered bridge which will be on your right and continue on winding dirt road until it open up to huge field and the backside of the mountain. There will be a road on the right just as you see the field, and follow until you see gate, turn around and park on side of road. You will see a path on your left that leads you past an old chimney and a gate that says do not enter. If you get permission from owners, you continue down short path that open up to the top of waterfall, and you’ll see wooden posts that takes you to the path on the right, and then stairs just past the railings on the left. Carefully walk down steps, they are uneven, steep, and slick at times. At bottom of stairs to your right is the huge rock carving in between two birch trees, and on the left the most spectacular waterfalls one would ever see. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you for reading this if you did, just sharing a couple of spots that are hidden in the White Mountain National Forest that many aren’t aware of but are spectacular and worth checking out.
Wow, amazing! Thanks for sharing!
@@TalesUntoldYT you’re welcome, I love sharing hidden gems of the White Mountains National Forest area.
Thank you for sharing this information. We hike/camp the back country every year I lived in NH before getting married and plan to move back in the future
Hello! I grew up near the area shown in this video. We do have those Sasquatch creatures here and it is best to avoid them at all costs. There is a link between them and UFOs but I don't want to dwell on this for obvious reasons. Out West many people are well aware of this. Of course we all know that aliens and their ships cannot exist because our government and the Three Stooge Networks and their fellow travelers say so! 😀😂😁🌜🌝👽👽👽👽👽🇺🇸
Before my first ascent of Mt Wash., I researched that mtn for an entire year. Read a lot of the stories surrounding the previous climbs. Then we climbed it 5 times in the first year, including June, Sept, Nov, Feb, and May. The cairns with crosses were a reminder that you don't take that mtn for granted.
Since the early 19th century around 138 people have been claimed on that mountain.
Climbing Mt Washington in November or February is asking for trouble
I live in the white mountains and didn't know about alot of these things. Thanks for the info.
I’ve lived here for 59 years now, this is an outstanding video for sure, there’s many more great stories about this area.
My home state. Great video Steve
I would like to see you cover places in New Mexico which is my adopted home state. I'm originally from Kansas but have been in New Mexico since 1984. That's quite a while, since I'm 67 at this time. I've lived in the Alamogordo/Tularosa area all this time and haven't visited most of the state. It would be interesting to hear about legends from my adopted home state. Thanks. Peace 🕊️
So interesting! Thanks for the reminders to take care of Mother Nature!
That sounds like a place worth exploring- love the woods. It feels like home.
Forests all over the country have been the culprit of missing people who’ve never been seen or heard from again. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Sure, some may have fallen victim to becoming hurt somehow and perishing whether by having no food/water, but others have-quite literally-disappeared out of thin air. Whenever my family and I venture into any forest/state park, we stay together, never walking away from each other at any point, whatsoever. Heck no…
Good advice
Just because people are never found doesn't mean there is a paranormal explanation
You are exactly correct! This area is where I grew up and there was and is far more going on in this area than what is on this video. I am ex Navy and my buddy, who was an Army combat engineer, was with me during incredible experiences that we shared here.On two of them there were police present. I also know of a highly respected business man who saw a big flying craft with red lights flashing around the rim go down behind a mountain right in the direction of the Hill incident that night. It was about 1 am and his house sits on a hill in Jefferson with gorgeous 360 degree views. I could care less who believes me or not but anyone who still believes in 2024 that we are alone in this vast universe is a blithering idiot as far as I am concerned. Some with PHD after their name don't realize that, in the personal sense, it means " Piled Higher and Deeper."
Easy to be hidden in rough terrain.
You can get turned around real easy if you are not careful. Got lost myself once because I followed a path to a logging road. Couldn't find the path when I came back to get out. Had to go across the river but ended up on another road from where I left my truck. It took me another two hours to find my truck.
As a lifetime Mainer, I have been to the beautiful White Mountains many times!😊👍
My family spent summers in the White Mountains (Woodstock) and Laconia (Wolfboro). We were in awe of the natural beauty of these areas. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video.
Im thankful to be able to see the views of N.H.on utube.
My father was born in Nashua&always told me about him riding bikes with freinds on weekends checking out the old logging ghost towns in the woods.
He found a St.Christopher medallion in the burned ruins of a house in a logging ghost town&gave it to his mother who cherished it till her passing.
My father went in the Army during the cold war&we were stationed in Texas&Germany.
We ended out staying in the southwest U.s.&even in my adult life love taking trips to old Native American settlements- mining,ranch,railroad&logging ghost towns in the region aswell.
I need to get up to N.H.soon to check out the sites there in the near future&find a few lost relatives if possible.
Thanks again for the great video&have a good one.
Thanks for watching!
I'm from Berlin NH and all these places I recognized. Totally love the history of NH
Thanks for listening!
On vacation in Glen NH, in the middle of the White mountains as I type. Thanks for uploading ❤
I'd have to look it up, but there is a collapsed Copper mine in NH. The backstory made my skin crawl.
I know that in the White Mountains region there have been some famous alien abduction stories, most notably Betty and Barney Hill. I loved your video, very informative! I used to visit this area with my family growing up & I had no idea about most of these stories
I live about an hour from Mt Washington. I hadn’t heard many of these stories but have about the hotel. The hotel is beautiful. I have been there many times. About 15 years ago they did a full faculty photo out front in the fall. Everyone was outside the hotel and you can see in the photo a woman standing in the room you mentioned staring out. Pretty cool photo. Also the white mountains are beautiful but very unpredictable. Many people go up on a nice day and end up getting lost due to crazy weather patterns.
I love the history of NH I used to work at Mount Washington many years ago
According to my mother the Willey family were our relatives ,cousins many times removed...... This tragic story was told to us kids many times by different family members often when we were at my uncles lakeside cabin. Different family memebers gave slight variations of the story. I heard that everyone was killed and I was also told that one of the hired hands escaped being crushed by the rock slide. I was always eager as a kid to hear the gory details.
Spent last 4th of July in North Conway. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.
Interesting. A bit of history about the Willey family and that last slide. First off the family name is pronounced Will-ee. On the fateful night the family took shelter by running outside of the house to hide behind some large boulders on their property which they thought would keep them safe. On the next day when the neighbor came looking for the family he,as you said, could not find them. However the house was intact. There was a large boulder behind the house which caused the slide to separate and go around the house. If the Willeys had stayed in their house they would have been save. Sad case of irony
I remember driving by and hearing this story many times as a kid
Thanks Steve. Nice to hear stories from my own state.
Thanks for listening!
Im glad I came across this channel..........................
Old Boston guy, I camped there every summer, beautiful area.
FYI. The AMC Hjghland Center sits where the Crawford House Grand Hotel was. It was there till 1950s. I love the white mtns so much. I traveled the country but there is no place like my lifelong home state of New Hampshire. Feel blessed
We’ve gone with my family pretty much every year for the past 20 years and I respect all of these things and they can rest in peace. I wish them no harm. I do not want to go near them where they lay. I’m completely freaked out. Thank you very much now I can’t ever go back.
In the forest if you hear a voice that sounds like your friend or family member and you know it can’t be …. Don’t go in the woods. If you hear a woman or baby or whistling and you know there is no way, don’t go in the woods. These are ones that don’t like humans. Many different levels of beings of many different kinds walk the Forest. RESEARCH in history they Warn you …… Don’t walk alone have your children in front of you at all times. This world is not what you think …..
You are correct. The reality that most people believe in is false but our GOV cannnot admit to any of it as it would upset the applecart in a cataclysmic fashion.
my wife and I always go up to the white mtns Jefferson Littleton Dalton areas go every year be up there real soon this year too so kinda cool to hear some stories before we go
Stay safe and stay hydrated!
I live in North Conway the heart of the white mountains
Love the whites and I’m heading up there tomorrow, thank you for these stories I didn’t know about most of them
I am inspired to explore these places, ty
Thanks for listening! Stay safe!
I spent most of my life hiking and camping in the White Mountains
I live near Brunswick Springs, VT. It has a rich and interesting history. You should check it out I love your stuff!❤
Me clicking on this video: I bet the first story is Livermore...
Not disappointed. I've spent much time in Livermore. Great place to get crabapples. Never seen anything disturbing out there before, though.
When telling the story of the Willey slide, one of my favorite White Mountain stories, it's important to note, the pronunciation is Will-EE. The expression "gives me the willies" was born from this tragedy.
That was my grandmothers family
Exactly. Like Willey's Jeeps. I do not think Steve is a native of this area.
Fascinating, very interesting! I'm never shocked by some of these unearthly happenings because I'm somewhat psychic and have seen and heard from the "Other Side'! Boston born, I summered at my late grandmother's house on Cape Cod built in 1776 and experienced along with other family members, sounds of human adult footsteps upstairs when nobody was up there except my first born daughter asleep in her portacrib in my grandmother's bedroom under the eaves! When I went up to check on her after hearing those footsteps, my daughter before she even saw me, was awake and smiling ahead! I believe it was either my grandmother or late mother visiting my daughter! As she was named after my mother and we had another visit from her after she was born! Just moved three months ago from MA, the Cape to beautiful NH and also have very deep roots in NH ever since 1721 when my forebears landed from Scotland and the UK in Portsmouth! They fought in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, one a great great uncle with the NH Militia who died at age 20 in the Andersonville prison, wrote letters home writing about eating nothing but potato peel soup and about Sherman's march into Atlanta! Saw an old photo of him wearing his Yankee True Blue uniform holding a bayonet! Thanks for sharing these great stories, NH is beautiful and was just voted the safest state in the country, no SS tax, no sales tax, no excise taxes on cars like in MA, "Live FREE or die", state motto!
Love this area, i’m from the greater Boston area but my best friend growing up had an uncle with log cabin here. Closest neighbor was about 4 or 5 miles, there are little family cemetery’s off the dirt roads every couple minutes. When night comes, it gets really dark and that feeling that your being watched or something is monitoring you comes on. But a beautiful, great place that I would love to retire to one day.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Steve❤ I tell my nephews what you told me…know before you go
I used to camp in the white mountains every year. Now I wont walk or go in any woods!
It is a terrible thing but I fully understand. There is far more than meets the eye going on on this planet but our GOV cannot admit that NORAD cannot protect our airspace. This is an absolute fact but would the GOV want to admit to this? No way. I grew up here, am almost 75 and don't go out into the wilderness without my 357 Magnum and my 9MM backup piece. There are situations where they would be of no help but I feel calmer carrying when I am out there. This area is a real hotbed of bizarre happenings and I and my Army buddy have experienced them. Best wishes to you!

Watch out for the Bigfoot of the Ossipee Mountain Range.

DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (😢)2006
so i live in ri but spent lots of time up in mountains of nh one time i was up there camping went for walk in woods got lost spent 3 nights alone in woods lost with cops and game wardens searching for me the third night i was ready to give up and all of a sudden what i thought was a big tree stump stood up turned and stared at me it was the biggest animal person whatever i’ve seen in my life i realized quickly it was bigfoot he walked over to me grabbed me threw me over his shoulder and started to run extremely fast i figured i was dead but after about 20 minutes he dropped me close to a road let out a massive scream and took off!!!! 5 minutes later two game wardens came stumbling down trail yelling my name!! thing saved me when i thought it was gonna eat me it was crazy experience they are massive and smell really bad
Good old New Hampshire !
One of the most beautiful unspoiled places on Earth but keep your wits about you when out in the boonies!
Just FYI ~ Though it is still maintained and looked after, the Mt. Washington Hotel is closed, and has been for years. You can’t get into the building, but there are trails on the property for hiking.
Hmm. Their website allows for booking rooms? www.omnihotels.com/hotels/bretton-woods-mount-washington
I believe you’re referring to The Balsams, in Dixville Notch. The Mount Washington is alive and well.
What? Millions of dollars of renovations were done years ago and now it is better than ever. I don't live far from it!
@@Hiker33 gotta love the Balsams
Ahhh, the Whites. My backyard.
I have climbed Mt Washington many times . I can tell you that if you go alone in the winter there is a heavy ominous feeling that seems to follow you up. I have seen a grown man personally being lowered down crying . Most of the Deaths on the Mountain do not make the News as they do not want it to affect the tourism . There has been somewhere between 100-200 deaths on this Mountain and trust me you feel it .
As a kid, a few of my buddies and I would climb up the Sherburne Trail and then ski down. We would only go up partway of course. One of our moms would take us up in the AM and then pick us up in the afternoon.
About 138 or thereabouts.
I have stayed at the OMNI it really is awesome . If you live in Massachusetts it is worth going but be prepared the WIFI is terrible lol
Thank you very much.
Love the Whites,forever!
The white mountains are just at the tail end of the aztec serpant gods body literally the body starts head below illinois stretches to Louisiana then the body part and wing goes toawrds the east coast and up to almost canada so these mountains are at his tail u can see the body on google earth its 2200 miles long
So your saying the mountains are ? Or cover the "gods" body ? I'm not discounting you by any means. Please elaborate
Ancient Aztec storied they came from the north near a big mountain range.
Not saying their stories ( or history ) is true or false- it is up to the person to believe what they want to believe.
Yes, and when he wags his tail the whole Earth shakes here! 🌝
