    I like how you can tell a creepy story calmly. Alone. In the woods.

    Oh Cliff, that's quite a story. It's after 5 o'clock and I think I need a drink!

    You made it through the forest without incident. That's great!
    Now the question is : "When did he go?" Hee hee,.. (Wendigo)
    Thanks for sharing PA stories.

    Thanks Cliff. I'm a fan of Folk Tales, legends and the like. I suggest, if you also enjoy such; "American Folklore and Legends" published awhile ago by Readers Digest. Got my copy at a tag sale for 25 cents. Great reading if you have the time. 👍✌

    Hi Cliff, you are a great horror story teller, maybe you should do some video's in front of either a campfire in your garden or an open fire with just the firelight lighting up your face and telling about either a mythical creature or a horror story. I can just picture you sat in a comfy armchair next to an open fire, scaring us with tales of happenings in the deep woods, eek. Thank you for sharing, I loved this video, much love. xx 🙏💖

    I heard about this in Maine when I was a kid on canoeing trips. Also, it reminds me of 'The Beast' from 'Over the Garden Wall'.

    Thank you so much for that Cliff, it was fantastic. I also realised I saw that on Supernatural, it was great. Is a good story for kids to keep them home. Glad you didn’t find one. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

    First of all, I love your videos. I live in the Laurel Mountains of Pennsylvania. My father taught Pennsylvania history, and I learned a lot about our commonwealth from him especially the native american stories and lore. Secondly, what the hell are you doing in the woods alone in the middle of winter????!!!!! Be careful, and take the Wendigo legend to heart. xxx

    I thought this was going to be another bigfoot story. I was wrong. Interesting story. Sounds like it might be a demon. And that was my thought what you said about a story to scare children. Have a blessed day and stay safe

    @wjcorrinne4052 3 года назад +1

    Back in the 60s and early 70s and going back into the 40s?, I would pickup magazines with names like; True Adventures; True Detective; etc. I n college I’d get tired of comic books and I started buying these. These are where I first read about Big Foot, Windigo, the crystal skull and more. Ghost stories and the like. They’re no longer published, it’s too bad. These stories have been pushed aside by modern technology in all its facets. These were articles to read when radio was the main form of entertainment, after the show ended and the program shut down for the day. Now with 24/7 entertainment the movies, shows, etc. need more “gore” where before it was suspense, drama, imagination that these old magazines fed off.

    Thanks for this video. We have been watching your videos to find cool places to go in Pennsylvania and the day is almost here! We’ll be there the week of March 16th, do you think it will be snowing?!?! Our Floridian kids are dying to see some snow, so that would be awesome. Looking forward to exploring some of the places you’ve done videos on. Keep doing what you do, and maybe add in some snow dances to keep that snow around a few more days! 😆

    I smelled something very foul while walking through a park in New Jersey but couldn't see or find the source other than some decaying leaves Which did not fit the smell that I was scenting and I was very curious and then I thought of the Jersey devil Legend and horror story and I was wondering if maybe the Jersey devil is the same as this Wendigo character/ tale.

    Great retelling of the legend! "The Wendigo" is a horror novella written by Algernon Blackwood in 1910 and worth a read to get the feel of being out in the woods with one of those spirits or creatures lurking. Here is the link to the story, via Project Gutenberg: www.gutenberg.org/files/10897/10897-h/10897-h.htm
