From someone who lives in the Adirondacks. Weird shit happens in those woods. Most people don't realize how vast that mountain range is. The wilderness spans from lake Champlain to carthage on the Texas road with very few towns and villages.
I had to Google Adirondacks. It's basically upstate New York. I don't think many people realize that New York has some serious wilderness. People think New York they think NYC.
The Adirondack park is the largest park in the us. Ny also has more ski areas than any other state, and whiteface is the largest vertical drop ski area east of the Rockies 14th most vertical in north america were also one of the few places to have held multiple winter Olympics
Ahhh and I just asked the guy above “Sexy Grandma Darkness” where are the Adirondacks are and you just had to have the answer if I had just looked further down? And for you information Gsfbffx Pdhhdf? Not all of us are aware of what or where Adirondacks are or where they are located, so.... no need to be an asshole about if he needed to google about what the Adirondacks are, so keep your negative BS to yourself why don’t you? Thank you Bob.
TBH there are a lot of people in out there who don't know that new York state is not just city. I hate it when I meet people on the internet who don't know that the majority of us outside cities are proud gun toting republicans who work blue collar jobs and live near wilderness.
That’s absolutely true, however there are just as many monsters in the city as there are upstate. If not more even. And yes for the record I’m a NY’er, Lived in every borough except Staten Island. Monstrosities take many forms.
I have a family of these "creatures" living in the woods behind my house. Well maybe it's just squirrels. I don't know. You gave me the prescription for a good day, A great story read by the good Dr. Looking forward to what's next.
What a jerk! "Don't go back. It has your scent now." *SOME TIME LATER* "You wanna go camping? Here, have my pack. It's covered in my scent. Yes, that was an odd thing to point out."
I live in Toronto, Ontario (it’s a big city). I love going to my cottage in Muskoka because it’s just a bungalow with no internet, and I feel so detached from the stress of the city life 😊
🌿👀 I like camping and hiking, so this one tickled my fancy. Thank you, Dr. Creepen. Sorry about missing your story-a-night; I'll catch up. I fell down the basement stairs and was heavily drugged until yesterday. My mother should have named me Grace.😸
He really does! Every time I listen I feel like I am in on a hidden RUclips gem! Not that I am not constantly “evangelizing” for Creepianity though! Yeah, I may be using that term again LOL!
I don’t understand how creeps has so many subs but creepen doesn’t . Creeps has the most annoying voice while creepens voice I can listen to alllllll day 🥰🥰🥰
Oh yes!!! Perfect for my Thursday drive to at too-Damn-early-in the morning. Driving through county roads with nothing but open fields amid abandoned, overgrown, wild places as far as the eye can see. Yep, perfect listening background!
You're never supposed to be quiet when hiking, at least not anywhere bears exist. They sell little bells for backpacks, people put pebbles in a coffee can, sing while walking, anything. He should have made some noise, scared that monster off lol
If I had to wager, I'd say the author never actually goes hiking very often, if at all. A flaregun and an airsoft gun over a knife for firearm? What even lol. If a moose or bear is charging you, your flaregun is just going to illuminate your forthcoming demise.
To flip the perception the protagonist started that fight. If the “monster” was going to kill him from the start then I don’t think it would have stolen only 2 hotdogs, hid in the trees & then flee when it was spotted. It had the ability to shred people & yet was hiding in a pile of leaves when it was set on fire by a flair gun. I know it’s hard to believe but sometimes we are the monsters.
You're a silly sort. It had been following him for a long time. It wasn't drooling over the hot dogs and something that size wouldn't be satisfied by them anyway. And where do you think that pile of leaves came from? It built that pile to hide in so it could ambush him. It was hunting him for hours. The reason it didn't just leap in and tear him apart is because of the soft air gun he pulled out. This thing is no stranger to hunting humans. It knows what a weapon looks like. It wasn't going to risk a head on assault.
Malicious hunters tend to toy with their prey as a sense of dominance. It gives them a sense of superiority. They want their prey to know they are better then them and that they die when they choose to. Yes it can just kill but it wants to toy with him first is the impression I get.
I only offered another perspective to think over. We go out into nature & forget we are the outsiders in that world. Why can’t mankind just agree that we don’t belong everywhere. That’s why California is burning to the ground, we’ve built communities where we don’t belong.
@@junipers7174 Realistically where we don't belong is more only a story telling mechanic. It makes for nice story telling but in actual reality it's vastly different. If we went on just nature alone we would be butt naked in warm places unable to see 90% of the world. Where I live is a rural area that was largely made up of farms and mines. Nothing ever really happened save for a mining incident. Just to live here you need housing, clothing and heating for the winter. All man made inventions not given to us by nature. As a species we exist through expanding and exploration. Living in a confined area would have a drastic effect on our species. Resources would be limited which would cause many people to die out. We are also not the only species that uses tools to improve the quality of our lives too. Some animals are known to use tools as well. Now there are places we can't go because the limitations of our technology but this is due to the technology. Not because we simply don't belong there. We don't belong there is a story telling device which allows the author to make a fantastical danger or monster have some realm of believably. For instance you could be telling a story about an ancient malicious god. On it's own it is harder to make believable. However, if you write it up in some area we supposedly don't belong then it helps to make it more soluble. People are more able to have a suspension of disbelief so they can be more immersed into the story.
I grew up and reside in the Adirondack Park, and trust me it is one of the most beautiful places to be in the world. You can enjoy the bliss of nature as a large part of the state is covered by the park. It’s a haven for hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing etc, y’all must see it at least once in your life.
34:00 of the most heavenly angelic musical voice of our Doctor Creepen's voice. Oh I know I'm late but I'm here. I know it'll be awesome as always. Keep up the awesome work.😇😇😇
This one is great! My husband taught mountain climbing and repelling to Boy Scouts on those mountains, and on some days off would repell halfway down some forty foot drop, tie off, and just hang and read my letters and some sci fi. Most of the full time activity instructors never shaved, and my husband comes from strong, sturdy, and hairy rural British stock, I dare say with just his beige shorts he and one of his buddies who wore jean shorts so ragged I went shopping for him among my then fiancé s clothes and made him change, these good ole boys could have been mistaken for something feral, they practically were! Just a note, the primary evergreens of the Adirondacks are fir and spruce, not pine. That’s the kinda trees that take to that rocky sandy soil.
I do love the days you post dearest Dr. No we don't know everything that goes on in this world. I also crave the air of nature. I'd kill for a nice little farm and some woods to call my own.
Great story, I was from NYC area originally, and after a stint in the army, I used to spend a lot of my spare time in the katskills, or aderondacs. On one late november trip up to Blue Mountain Lake area, to hunt for deer, I parked at the canoe portage camp site and after having a brief snack, I dozed in my truck for a short nap. I awoke at about 4:30 AM and prepared to set out. I knew the area, and only planned to hike up the trail a couple of miles or so, to a clearing with a dry lake, where I hoped to find some deer at daylight. I dressed fairly light, long johns, wool shirt and pants, and a wool plaid cruiser jacket. i put a sandwitch and a couple of candy bars in my pockets, but since I had quit smoking, And I figured to be back to the truck for lunch, I neglected to take any matches or lighter. (Big mistake!) It had snowed a couple of inches the day before, and the snow was dry and crusted. There was a weak moon shining through the thin clouds, and since that gave decent light to follow the trail through the dark woods, I didn't carry my flashlight, Another big mistake. Anyhow, in high spirits, I set off up the trail. My rifle was a .444 Marlin lever action with 6 265 grain soft points, more than enough for anything I might encounter. After about a mile, I began hearing what sounded like footsteps in the crunchy snow off to my left, in the darkness of the woods. I shrugged it off as my imagination, but after a bit, it began to get on my nerves. I decided to play an old trick, and after walking ahead at a steady pace, I stopped suddenly. The trick worked, and what ever it was went on another couple of steps before it stopped. Hmm, not too smart. well after a short distance I tried it again, and had the same result. Now I was really on edge and had my rifle at the ready. It sounded like the footsteps moved ahead and then crossed the trail to the right. There was a small stream winding down the hill from my right, and there was a set of tracks just on my side of the stream. Even in the dim moonlight, I could make them out clearly. They were pressed deeply and sharply into the icy snow and soft earth. They were cloven hoof prints between 5 and 6 inches long, AND WALKING ON TWO LEGS! I remembered an old story that I'd heard from some southern boys in the army, that "Haints" ( spooks") can't cross natural running water, so I quickly jumped over the stream, and feeling somewhat safer, continued on the trail. I never saw any deer, and in fact the woods were unusually quiet. At daylight, The snow set in hard again, and after ploughing my way around for a while, I decided to head back. By this time, I was coated in ice, and couldn't even fire my rifle if I'd wanted to. While I was pretty sure of where I was, the deep snow was covering all the landmarks, and blowing snow made it hard to see.Dark was coming on, and I knew I was in big trouble. I stopped by a big tree, and said a prayer, as I squinted through the snow, and suddenly the snow stopped, and a sun beam shot down from a break in the murky clouds. There was the clearing and dry lake at the head of the trail! Thank GOD! i still had about 3 miles to hike, and then about a 400 mile drive to get back home, but at least I knew where I was.
Excellent story! well plotted and well told. Loved the happy ending---but if I was this guy, the closest I would ever get to nature again would be on the National Geographic channel!
@@thomassmith7466 They're the Adirondack mountains, a lovely region of the Upstate area of New York State. The Adirondack Park is a great place to visit, but don't be a fool like the protagonist in this story; bring a firearm, crossbow, or at least a decent sized blade. A flaregun wont cut it when a bear is bearing down on you. While I wont say that the forest is Australian Outback levels of dangerous or anything, you should always give a healthy dose of respect to the dangers of the Forest.
_ Wayfinder _ Yeah read that from one of the commenters after posting that funny enough. Though I hear that’s not the only place that is Haunted in New York, if you heard of Sarnic Lake that use to host a bunch of TB patients, and Sleepy Hallow.... though that is more due to the fictional musings of John Washington Irving. And Don’t worry.... I just bought S&W model 66 combat magnum for my last birthday last October, and my local Cabala’s got a Winchester SXP Marine shotgun that I hope to get, once I find a safe place to put it.... due to my parents don’t want guns in the house. Which is a real bummer. Not to mention I’ve got a few flash light clubs as well. Though I suppose some bear mace would due as well?
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 I have a Ruger personally, and I love it as for Glock I can't I can't really say anything to defend it since I do not own/have fired one more than 100 times.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 unless you think what I meant is that Hi-Points are good guns which I'm saying if you have a hi point you might as well have an airsoft gun.
Oh yes Dr. Gut wrenching chilling with the sounds affects and you telling the story I was with him in the mountains I felt every sound he didn't here I saw the monster I too was scared 🤤I mean really scared 😨and I loved the story. He was lucky so much for his friend and his lucky backpack. ☠🖤
Whoo hoo! Dirty early bird check in! ❤❤❤ after listen and spoiler alert edit: ahhhhhh good old fashioned crytozoology pasta. Now if it had only been about spiders it would have been perfect, drool from above, giant hairy leg, crushed car and everything!
Story of my life …and strange things that bad company can bring to you. As a child, I experienced my father's bad choices. Then I made some of my own. Weird things happened in my life. We moved a lot. Even before I ran away from home, we moved 32 times. I lived in some crummy places where I saw things that could not be explained. I left that "home" when I was a teenager. I moved into a 1 bedroom apartment I split with another student. It was haunted. Knocking on the walls... I tracked the knocks to exact place on the wall on the other side was a closet. I watched the bare wall where the sound came from. Opened the closet door and looked around to the other side. The closet was mostly empty. There was nothing on the wall on other side. Just a knocking coming out of a that wall space. An old pipe? I didn't hear water running. I don't know what it was. I felt the wall. It wasn't cold. It didn't feel any different from the rest of the wall. But I could feel the slight knock vibrate through the plaster board. After a while I went left it and went back to studying. The TV would turn on in the middle of the night. Loud. I slept on the couch so I was the one to turn it off every time. Each morning all the cabinets in the kitchen would be open. I blamed my room mate. He blamed me. We were too broke to leave. A year later we finally moved when school was over. I got a phone call from the single guy who had moved in. My old land-lord gave him my new number. The new tenant was scared. Wanted to know how I put up with all the weird stuff going on in the apartment. I told him to just ignore it. I moved with a new buddy into a small condo that had poltergeist. I stirred up by mentally “feeding” them. An experiment. My roommate wasn’t happy when he found out. Made me stop. The poltergeist threw a small fit, but did stop. was hooked up with a bad partner. I spent 16 years in a relation ship that should have only been 6 years. Moved into a small house near the beach. Also haunted. An Invisible hand would touch you on the back or arm when no one else was is the same room with you. I woke up at the same time each night. I’d get up, walk into the hall to go to the bathroom. I'd see a black figure at the end of the hall. It would run - in a strange jerky dancing manner - all the way down the hall. It'd pass me and disappear. It looked like an animated cartoon - but just a black shadow. Finally I met the most awesome person I'd ever meet in my life.We got together. Everything changed for the better. Nothing strange has ever happened since.my life
I live in the ADK park. And there are many stories of the things in the woods here. Living here seemingly goes hand in hand with accepting reality is stranger than fiction
I love your videos of random snippets of Turkish streetlife. Takes me back to my years in that part of the world. ...the bustle of the towns and then the peace of the seaside or countryside never too far away.
Saving this for later after dinner so I can relax. I'll have a 🚬 and ☕ and get lost in your mellow tones. Oh the anticipation! What a special treat for myself!. Stay warm dear sir! 💋 💘 ❤
Almost heaven, West Virginia! Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River! Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze. COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME, TO THE PLACE, I BELONG!
Twice i fell asleep, lol. [Last night]🛏 Will play it one more time later. Shhhhh!⏰ ☘Okay .... 3rd time the Charm [1:00pm] Good story and I enjoyed the video footage, and your wondering how I😶 stood awake this time. Well you ride the Subway 🚈🚉and DO NOT GET A SEAT. 🤷♀️Thanks Dr. CREEPEN and have a lovely evening and a delightful Friday, bye🙋♀️
Dr. Creepen should do a collaboration video with Unit 522, or Vidith22 about a Thanksgiving horror story. I like all of the collaboration videos. Anyway, it's just an idea, not a demand. I know that in Turkey, they don't have Thanksgiving dinner with turkey. 🦃😊
Thank you for that Winston Churchill quote "if youre going through hell, keep going" i needed that.
From someone who lives in the Adirondacks. Weird shit happens in those woods. Most people don't realize how vast that mountain range is. The wilderness spans from lake Champlain to carthage on the Texas road with very few towns and villages.
Very true, I myself live not far from the Champlain Bridge in the small village town

Yay! A story set in my native upstate NY!
Damn, that was a good one!!!
Sending Love ❤️... Linda, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
When you hate your coworker enough to lend them your scented backpack. Also I love your art work posted with the video!! Great read!!!
As someone living in the Adirondacks, I have to listen.
Ok, lives in the Adirondacks, has my birthday...am I the protagonist?
Hey 💙 we probably live near each other. Enjoy your night.
We have the same birthday, hope you had a good Tuesday!!
Really? Where are the Adirondacks exactly? Are they in the Rocky’s or the Appalachian mountains? Are they even in the states?
@@thomassmith7466 They're the Adirondack mountains, a lovely region of the Upstate area of New York State. The Adirondack Park is a great place to visit, but don't be a fool like the protagonist in this story; bring a firearm, crossbow, or at least a decent sized blade. A flaregun wont cut it when a bear is bearing down on you.
While I wont say that the forest is Australian Outback levels of dangerous or anything, you should always give a healthy dose of respect to the dangers of the Forest.
_ Wayfinder _ Yeah read that from one of the commenters after posting that funny enough. Though I hear that’s not the only place that is Haunted in New York, if you heard of Sarnic Lake that use to host a bunch of TB patients, and Sleepy Hallow.... though that is more due to the fictional musings of John Washington Irving.
And Don’t worry.... I just bought S&W model 66 combat magnum for my last birthday last October, and my local Cabala’s got a Winchester SXP Marine shotgun that I hope to get, once I find a safe place to put it.... due to my parents don’t want guns in the house. Which is a real bummer. Not to mention I’ve got a few flash light clubs as well. Though I suppose some bear mace would due as well?
Quite excellent, good Dr.
Reasons why you should only carry things with your own scent when camping! Freaking yikes! Great story and narration, Doctor Creepen! :)
I live in TEXAS, we don't have FAKE Guns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you own a Hi-Point you might as well have a green gas blow back
DETHKEPR lrae u mean glock
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 I have a Ruger personally, and I love it as for Glock I can't I can't really say anything to defend it since I do not own/have fired one more than 100 times.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 unless you think what I meant is that Hi-Points are good guns which I'm saying if you have a hi point you might as well have an airsoft gun.
I live in nh we don’t have fake guns either god bless the 2 nd amendment
Willing to bet that the author is a Michael Crichton fan. Great story. Great narrating.
Cryptid Creepypasta's are always'll be the most interesting !
Dr. Creepen is greater than Creepypasta, Maybe because of his Voice
#youcantchangemymind
Oh yes Dr. Gut wrenching chilling with the sounds affects and you telling the story I was with him in the mountains I felt every sound he didn't here I saw the monster I too was scared 🤤I mean really scared 😨and I loved the story. He was lucky so much for his friend and his lucky backpack. ☠🖤
Whoo hoo! Dirty early bird check in! ❤❤❤ after listen and spoiler alert edit: ahhhhhh good old fashioned crytozoology pasta. Now if it had only been about spiders it would have been perfect, drool from above, giant hairy leg, crushed car and everything!
.......You sadist. You know some of us can't handle that type of shit.
Oh so good. Thanks Doc
*I'm sorry. I know that I am supposed to be afraid,but your voice is perfect for falling asleep..creepy asmr.*

Story of my life …and strange things that bad company can bring to you.
As a child, I experienced my father's bad choices. Then I made some of my own. Weird things happened in my life. We moved a lot. Even before I ran away from home, we moved 32 times. I lived in some crummy places where I saw things that could not be explained.
I left that "home" when I was a teenager.
I moved into a 1 bedroom apartment I split with another student. It was haunted. Knocking on the walls... I tracked the knocks to exact place on the wall on the other side was a closet. I watched the bare wall where the sound came from. Opened the closet door and looked around to the other side. The closet was mostly empty. There was nothing on the wall on other side. Just a knocking coming out of a that wall space. An old pipe? I didn't hear water running. I don't know what it was. I felt the wall. It wasn't cold. It didn't feel any different from the rest of the wall. But I could feel the slight knock vibrate through the plaster board. After a while I went left it and went back to studying.
The TV would turn on in the middle of the night. Loud. I slept on the couch so I was the one to turn it off every time. Each morning all the cabinets in the kitchen would be open. I blamed my room mate. He blamed me.
We were too broke to leave.
A year later we finally moved when school was over.
I got a phone call from the single guy who had moved in. My old land-lord gave him my new number. The new tenant was scared. Wanted to know how I put up with all the weird stuff going on in the apartment.
I told him to just ignore it.
I moved with a new buddy into a small condo that had poltergeist. I stirred up by mentally “feeding” them. An experiment. My roommate wasn’t happy when he found out. Made me stop. The poltergeist threw a small fit, but did stop.
was hooked up with a bad partner. I spent 16 years in a relation ship that should have only been 6 years.
Moved into a small house near the beach.
Also haunted.
An Invisible hand would touch you on the back or arm when no one else was is the same room with you.
I woke up at the same time each night. I’d get up, walk into the hall to go to the bathroom. I'd see a black figure at the end of the hall. It would run - in a strange jerky dancing manner - all the way down the hall. It'd pass me and disappear. It looked like an animated cartoon - but just a black shadow.
Finally I met the most awesome person I'd ever meet in my life.We got together. Everything changed for the better.
Nothing strange has ever happened since.my life
Great 👍👍!! Thanks dr creepen
I live in the ADK park. And there are many stories of the things in the woods here. Living here seemingly goes hand in hand with accepting reality is stranger than fiction
One dude brings a Deagle and this guy brings a FREAKING AIRSOFT GUN?
I love your videos of random snippets of Turkish streetlife. Takes me back to my years in that part of the world. ...the bustle of the towns and then the peace of the seaside or countryside never too far away.
Enchanted Forrest water safari...
Where the fun never stops!
haha, You don't read/hear that online too often.
Love this one can't wait for your next one my wife and listen to your videos. Its one of our main connections is talking about your wonderful videos
The backpack had his scent on, as a result the guy at the end was ripped to shreds
excellent. love the forest horror stories.
Saving this for later after dinner so I can relax. I'll have a 🚬 and ☕ and get lost in your mellow tones. Oh the anticipation! What a special treat for myself!. Stay warm dear sir! 💋 💘 ❤
Debbie Anderson fuckin drug addict
Asmr and the doctor? That's what I ordered!
Amazing story! Thx!
I live right in this area. It is really awesome
Doc, you make a good story great by your reading it.
The mental image of the creature trying to stealthily steal the hotdogs has me rolling.
That was a good one :)
Subbed! Loved it and your beautiful voice!
You know,I've been to the adirondack here in ny,quite isolated out outhere for things to move without problems
Almost heaven, West Virginia! Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River! Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze. COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME, TO THE PLACE, I BELONG!
Awesome chilling story.
Another good one
Twice i fell asleep, lol. [Last night]🛏
Will play it one more time later.
Shhhhh!⏰
☘Okay .... 3rd time the Charm [1:00pm]
Good story and I enjoyed the video footage, and your wondering how I😶 stood awake this time. Well you ride the Subway 🚈🚉and DO NOT GET A SEAT. 🤷♀️Thanks Dr. CREEPEN and have a lovely evening and a delightful Friday, bye🙋♀️
Dr. Creepen should do a collaboration video with Unit 522, or Vidith22 about a Thanksgiving horror story. I like all of the collaboration videos. Anyway, it's just an idea, not a demand. I know that in Turkey, they don't have Thanksgiving dinner with turkey. 🦃😊
Sending Love ❤️... Pamela, Are you single ❤️😊🥰
Can confirm, low crawling ducks. Especially at a 65 degree incline under the San Antonio sun in July with full gear.
Very nicely put together story, that.
Thank you
Someone pissed off Big Foot lol... Seriously 🙄🤣 ty sweetheart for the video
