Pro tip. Listen to this while trudging through the actual Louisiana Bayou at night. You're irrational fear of getting dead will vanish, and will be replaced with a rational fear....
One time, while walking through the bayou, I saw the ghost lady, and I freaked the fuck out and ran away. After a while, I came across a man hanging from a tree and got ambushed by some nightfolk. Last time I ever did that
There's some forest in Roanoke ridge that if you go to at 3 am you can hear whispering of a couple Makes it twice as scary if you don't even knew about it before and you just suddendly began hearing whispering coming from everywhere this is also displayed as a history in a theatre where a young couple sneaked to the forest at night, and got attacked by a platoon of ghosts of english soldiers, which cutted their heads off there's also an entire video dedicated to that specific story and the forest
@@JRSRLN I opened a treasure chest there and ran the fuck outta there when that creepy ambient music plays and it still kept playing when i reached bayou nwa...
Roanoke ridge wasn't too bad for me. Butcher's creek has a bad vibe , but other than that it was ok for me. The bayou however....well that's a different story. Idk, maybe I'm just different, but the Murfrees gave more of a evil serial killer degenerate vibe , but I never felt like I was being watched . With the bayou at night it feels like you're always being followed and watched by an evil you can't even begin to understand.
@@almighty-e4210 Came across the fuckers exactly once, in the middle of the day, while i was hauling some aligator skins into Saint Denis. It's a little hard to feel threatened when 4 idiots covered in mud come charging at you in broad daylight *and you have a gun...*
Try dual LeMat revolvers. 9 revolver shots, although a pretty slow reload, but you can also use shotgun shells, meaning if you dual wield them, you get 2 shotgun shots.
I once got this very strange encounter. It was in the evening, and it got pretty dark and foggy. I saw something move in the distance, and Arthur also said something like “What was that? I could have sworn”. Next thing I know, after trotted along the path with my horse, nite folk show their faces and spread out. They weren’t even marked enemies anymore as I couldn’t see them. After I was running for my life, shooting behind me, I got sliced by a machete, and died. I’m never going to the bayou again.
Literally happened to me, but they used my damn white arabian as bait for me, as I ran to get it, they came out of nowhere everywhere, luckly I had the semi auto shotgun on my back and managed to finish them off
@@generalIvan yep, exact same thing happened to me but I didn't realize they had my arabian until I was calling her and found her over there. I was panic shooting. But I looked it up and apparently if you don't get there in time to save your horse, it permanently dies as you can't use reviver on her. Again, there is always reloading tho lol
For some reason I remember Arthur also saying "I could've sworn", but I didn't get a Night Folk encounter unfortunately. I might be making up a memory however
I remember hearing 1:09 right after I gunned down two lemoyne raiders. They just laid there, face down in the mud. Made it feel darker than usual, makes you realize that rdr2 doesn’t try to be a happy, feel good game. It definitely has its moments, like the lenny and Arthur bar scene. and uncle, John and Charles messing around while drunk. Filled with sadness but also happiness.
I was camping in the swamp, and when I got up, I heard a woman say "Come back to me, come back to me, come home" I searched the area. There was no one in sight. Got the fuck out of the swamp.
Bayou Nwa. 2 am. I was on the run from the law, moonlight shining bright through the cracks in the tree canopy. Horse on opposite side of the marsh. Decided to wade across the river. Gator bit me and left my health at a sliver. Lost my double barrel in the water, now standing on the bank with nothing but a revolver to defend myself. Hat is gone. A tragedy. Lawmen were closing in, then I hear “I miss you. Come back home.” Immediately turned the other way and ran. I actively stay out of that area if I can help it
The bayou is way worse, because of how it’s more claustrophobic and forested. You won’t see anything coming for you, while Bluewater Marsh on the other hand is basically a big open mud field.
I was fishing for the legendary gar in the swamps just as it was getting dark and I know how creepy it gets there so I was really trying to hurry out of there. I finally land the fish and start riding out when it just gets dark and foggy fast. Arthur goes “what was that, I could’ve sworn-“ and my horse starts freaking out and almost bucks me off. I was riding full speed out of there and heard things in the bushes while this music is playing. Needless to say I was shitting my pants lol. The developers did a great job of making places like the bayou and Roanoke ridge more eerie with these soundtracks. Really makes something feel off about the entire area, like you shouldn’t be there and need to leave as quickly as possible.
That was the night folk. They can one shot kill you with their machetes, and don’t speak any known human language. Clicks and whistles baby, clicks and whistles.
@@shlogmorf seriously they’re fucking terrifying. I come up upon a corpse and, from experience with another random corpse at a tree, check to see if it has a map. Well, I blink and Arthur has a machete in his neck and has fallen over dead. Horrific way to go.
I remember unlocking chapter 4 and decided to take a walk in the bayou trying to bond with my new appaloosa, then out of nowhere i see a lady crying so i got curious to see what the fuss is all about then she and a group of people carrying tombahawks and machetes running towards me, i wasn't carrying any weapons on me except my side arms, i made a dumb mistake of running away from them then out of nowhere i died by a gator worst night of my life 💀
Does anyone know what track has a slide down from a high guitar string, and then a subtle horn sound? I think it plays where there is the wrecked civil war cannon near Shady Belle.
My god, I didn't even notice that there was day and night themes... If this wasn't for the super realistic heavy gameplay that this game has, I would've replay it more than 2 times just to discover details like this
we all gangsta til we see the shape of a ghost lady in the mist, the cuckling sound of strangers running around in the trees, the aligators or not to mention this soundtrack...
one time i was riding through the bayou one foggy night after watching a vaudville show in saint denis i was near lagras and i heard this voice of a young lady saying daddy no put down the gun i went to go see what was going on but no one was there i acidentally went the wrong way when i heard whistling in the bushes followed by clicking and hissing sounds my horse got scared and bucked me off these people with machetes attacked me i ran into the water bumped into an alligator and got killed that was one scary night ill never forget in rdr2
Caesar StrunDova does it tend to play around the swamp areas? ruclips.net/video/bmFhrYzlz5k/видео.html ^This is the first track that comes to mind based of your description...
@akil.2839 I thought they were only deeper in the swamps down by lakay and south of Lagras. I never encountered them elsewhere, though to be fair I avoid the swamps almost completely at night.

Pro tip: turn your map off and go into first person mode while in the swamps at night. It gets less scary. You are welcome.
You're evil 😂😂
It's like a stroll in the park if you leave all your weapons on your horse and stroll through the bayou at night on foot!
bro i walked into the trap with the crying woman as my first encounter with the swamp guys and i was in first person

Form yourself a game development team that manages to make Western games that are scarier than most scary games.
that's so true !
what do you mean scarier than most games---
@@yehoshua6328 the gators & bayou nwa itself (at night) is absolutely terrifying 😭
@@monsterinthewoodsyes kkkkk
@@yehoshua6328 it's about building dread, suspense and atmosphere; key elements in horror games. Bayou Nwa at night does this perfectly
i got more scared while wandering near annesburg or riding around swamps in rdr2 at night than while watching a horror movie. wow.
The woods west of Annesburg at night are absolutely terrifying
Bruh, Roanoake Ridge is one of the creepiest places to be in at night.
There's some forest in Roanoke ridge that if you go to at 3 am you can hear whispering of a couple
Makes it twice as scary if you don't even knew about it before and you just suddendly began hearing whispering coming from everywhere

@@almighty-e4210 Consider yourself lucky
Remember guys, always carry a double barreled shotgun when you are passing the bayou during night
I prefer my sawed off shotguns. Nothing like removing everything above the shoulders in one trigger pull aimed at the face.
Semi-auto shotgun is the way to go. As well as a Mauser and an M1899.
I use lancaster repeater, pump shotgun and double schofields when im in the bayou
Try dual LeMat revolvers. 9 revolver shots, although a pretty slow reload, but you can also use shotgun shells, meaning if you dual wield them, you get 2 shotgun shots.
I use the semi-auto shotgun and duel sawed off as backup.

Joker (2019) vibes, down to the music.
the lenny and arthur bar scene was funny in a weird way to me. lord knows why.
Yes. At times (especially when you're new to the game) this game really makes you feel like you've actually murdered someone.
Has fun moments like the bar and eerie moments like seeing uncle strung up under a fire being smoked alive
I was camping in the swamp, and when I got up, I heard a woman say "Come back to me, come back to me, come home" I searched the area. There was no one in sight. Got the fuck out of the swamp.
i think you found the ghost lady?
That's Agnes Dowd's ghost. Quite a sad story when you read about her.
You just saw one of the 16 Agnes Dowd's ghost encounters. Search her name at Red Dead Wiki, it's a very nice ghost story, albeit sad too :)
@@laercioeso There's 16!? Wow that's a lot
Yeah, 16. R* took the time to build a whole backstory for the ghost. Her page on Red Dead Wiki tells better. I myself added some info there :)
Everyone else in the Bayou at night: Oh fuck, there’s so many alligators and night folk...
Me in the Bayou at night: *This is where the fun begins*
lololoolol
Everyone: There is so many alligators and night folks, oh no...
Me: *There is so many alligators and night folks, OH YES!*
While I find the combat in game fun, I hate fighting the night folk, they are so creepy I wish they had a better significance in the game and story
"DADDY, I FORGAVE HIM! WHY CAN'T YOU?!"
"PUT THE GUN DOWN DADDY PLEASE! PUT THE GUN DOWN!"

I don't know what's worse, Bayou Nwa, or Bluewater Marsh. Both have a creepy atmosphere.
Try every corner of Roanoake Ridge, it's just as creepy as the swamps.
I think Bayou is more creepy, because there is rain forest where someone or something can hide behind trees
The bayou is way worse, because of how it’s more claustrophobic and forested. You won’t see anything coming for you, while Bluewater Marsh on the other hand is basically a big open mud field.

Lanterns in the misty swamps doesn't do much... you're better off with a pump action in both hands.
I think a lantern on a foggy night makes visibility worse.
