sounds like the guy didnt want you to camp there ... I would have a word with him
I was quite happy to get out of there tbh
some local yokel having some weird fun scaring the grockle he found camping in the woods … no doubt he was the toast of his two ‘imaginary friends’ in the pub that night…. take care out there mate … atb Dave Mc
Very firs time I've come across your RUclips channel and I thoroughly enjoyed your content, I'll definitely be following from now on, keep up the good work .
Just come across your channel, you tube got good on their algorithm this time, Really enjoyed your video keep the great content coming. Shame you had a twat ruining your camp, maybe a homeless person quite territorial due to bad experiences in the past. Hopefully your tarp isn't damaged..I'd go back out get into my combats find him shout #boo make him crap his pants leg it and laugh 😂
The most dangerous animal you'll ever meet in the woods late at night is a human
True. 👍
or bigfoot but I hear they maybe friendly
Apparently so. They still like to chuck things though 🤣
Tell me about it. I live in the woods here in Australia. A place I've been camping at for almost 2 years. But recently I've had some trouble with a psycho. Not sure if it's young teens or somebody older but the bastard has been stalking me with a drone for around 18 months and only recently 11 September this year my tent was wrecked and they tried to drag the tent away and throw it into a creek. The local police are useless bastards too. They don't give a damn and won't do a thing about my tent being damaged but if I was to defend myself I'd be facing charges and possibly jail. I can't even phone police anymore because I've been charged with threatening the police and ordered to not contact the police.
@JimBoBJames-no5db ooh that doesn't sound good.
Trust me from a 30yr veteran of wild camping both woods & beach camps,Some very strange folk hanging about & lurking in the night.
Yeah it was certainly odd. I've had strange noises in woods before but nothing like this. It's never made me want to leave before 😬
@@Yodaspirit45 Whole squads of fully armed military go missing, Dog soldiers-film. Be careful. ⚠️
Great film. But it's a film.
@@craig6542yeah right
@craig6542 what squads of military that were fully armed went missing while recreational camping in real life?
I agree with the people saying "If something doesn't feel right, go with your gut, and leave." You stayed longer than I would have, and I'm an always armed Texan. I packed up the wife and kids in the middle of the night about 28 years ago, near Togwotee Pass in Wyoming. If we had stayed, probably nothing would have happened, but I just had an overwhelming urge to leave.
I've never felt like that before. I've heard loads of wierd noises and seen some wierd thing but it was just a feeling that you can't put your finger on that tells you to get out. And I trust my gut 👍
It has saved me a few times. I learned early on to follow my gut feeling, i once avoided a dangerous car crash because i trusted my instincts and stayed home. My friend crashed his car the same night he asked me to join a car trip. Flipped over the car at high speed and one of the three people in his car got major injuries. There have been more gut feeling moments but that one could've been fatal, especially when you see the side of the car that had the empty seat. It was crushed/caved in completely.
I agree. Gut feeling is there for a reason. Goes back to primitive ages for survival 👍
trust your feelings, especially at these kind of circumstances
Anyone who’s seen Scooby Doo will know it’s usually the former mine owner pretending to be a ghost so he can steal the gold.
That’s hilarious 😂
Same plot used by the landowner at Loch Ness 😀
And he would have succeeded if it wasn't was for those pesky kids! 😂
Mr Perkins who used to own the mine and shaggy needs to lay off the devils lettuce,that’s why he’s so paranoid 😂😂
But those kids, they meddle. Especially Velma.
I've been wild camping in the US for years. Been harassed by deer, skunk and visited by black bear in the dark and none of it bothered me. The first and only time I had a run-in with a person I nearly had to shoot him and his dog. I packed up me and my son and we cleared out. Humans are the real danger in the woods.
you were "harassed" by animals in their natural environment? what is the WILD? you mean trespassing?
@@zillatattoo not an outdoorsman I see...
Humans can be a danger where ever you meet them. I ran into a group of guys when i stopped in a Scots Highland Bothy one night. They arrived after I did. two of the had colds and of course they gave that cold to me. I ended up in Aberdeen Royal in a coma with Pneumonia and Sepsis, almost died. I packed in Bear Country in Canada and felt safer there than I have in Scotland which only has two legged dangerous animals.
@@iainmore3961 You're an absolute clown aren't ya?
@@zillatattoohumans don’t belong in cages lol but it sounds like you live in one
You go with your gut. If you don't like the feel of something whether camping or car camping you leave it is that simple. Your gut with people and environments are never wrong. You did the right thing. There are always other camps you can do where you don't feel something is off. Stay safe and blessed.
I belive that gut feeling saves lives sometimes. And it just wasn't right that night. I'll be going back with mates and trail cams though, so watch this space 👍
Your gut is always right. I'll tell you a story. I used to drive for Uber delivering food and was in an apartment complex one night making a delivery. Went up the stairs to the apt. to drop the food off and saw this guy brush past me looking super pissed. We didn't make eye contact, but I looked at his eyes before looking away and something felt off. Thought it was a bit strange. I delivered the order and went back down the stairs to my car. Now, normally between orders and while waiting for a new one I would just wait in the car so as not to waste gas driving around. I was on my phone just diddling around when I saw the guy again walking rather slowly on the sidewalk. It didn't look abnormal per se, but something wasn't right and I had that gut feeling which told me to leave immediately. Under normal circumstances, I would never do so. I'm a Christian so I attribute it to the Holy Spirit giving me a nudge.
In any event, as soon as I start the car, and I mean the SPLIT SECOND that the engine turned over, he whips his head back at me like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie. Now I'm getting a little antsy. So I pull out and I'm just casually driving away (and I have no choice but to drive right past him) when he crosses from the sidewalk into the street right in front of my car while walking super slow and blocking me. At this point, it's getting really awkward, so I roll down my window about to say something like "Are you alright, dude?" but I think better of it and say nothing.
So imagine he's in the middle of the road in front of me, but there's like this loopy roundabout/turn around thing that goes basically to the left, circles around a patch of grass, and then comes out at the main strip that exits the complex. So instead of going past him awkwardly, I take that, and right as I'm about to make the left to leave, the dude starts running full speed at my car from the right. And when I tell you full speed, imagine the T1000 from Terminator 2 when he's chasing them through the parking garage and outside LMAO. Literally, I'm not exaggerating. It's like he was on PCP or something. He honestly looked and behaved superhuman which to this day still sends chills down my spine.
In any event, my whole body went into fight or flight and I slammed my foot on the gas as hard as I could while booking it out of there at 45 mph while he was STILL CHASING MY CAR!! And I drove stick at the time xD The craziest thing about it is that he caught up to me for maybe a second or 2 before I outran him. Got one last look at him slowing down before frantically getting the f out of there. Definitely the most bizarre experience of my life and something I will never forget. And you can bet your ass I carry now lol.
Whoa that sounds mad!! 😬
@@HomeStudioBasicsI'm thinking it was possibly someone on Meth. I understand it can give some people super human strength and obviously erratic behaviour. Grim. Glad u got out of the situation
@@HomeStudioBasicsmy SO still does
You trusted your gut. You know what you experienced and you know that it wasn’t humans doing it. Much more to this Earth than we truly understand.
💖💖💖 God tells us
I concur! xoxo
Thirty years back, I camped with my son in a wood near to Rayleigh, Essex, UK. Got the tent up in a small thicket. After it got dark, around 9 pm, we heard voices shouting from various directions, then began hearing shotguns firing. This racket slowly got closer to our location. Seems like we had camped in the middle of some kind of bird shooting operation. The bangs got pretty close, and were all around us. We quickly got that tent packed away and scooted out of there pretty quickly.
That's sounds well dodgy. More likely to get injured accidentally in the uk I reckon by poachers and shooters than some loony.
I’m from the UK as well and there’s some creepy shit in the forests here. Forest of Dean has some forest hermits and Scotland, some parts of monmouth area have thick forest areas too
There's definitely some weird stuff going on in some forests for sure.
i smoked skunk and swore i saw faeries oncewhile i was alone in the forest@@NoviceWildCamper
I wouldn't have waited around to pack the tent up I'd of just gone
I did a remote camp once in a deep forest in North Wales . Arrived late near dark, never did a reckie . Awoken up in my tent at 3am to sound of snapping twigs - pitch dark apart from a moonlight . Peeped out my tent saw a figure of a large man about 30ft ahead of my tent . It scared me i stayed in my tent and i stayed put until first dawn .
I peeped out my tent and that large figure of a man was a fallen large tree stump on a mound 😅
And the morale of the story always do a reckie whilst day light around your camp 👍
😂 amazing how things look different from night and day. I've had a similar experiences myself 🤣
Local farmer. Couldn't find a cow to tip.
What the hell is a reckie? 😮
Short for reconnaissance
@@NoviceWildCamperBut Recon is already short for reconnaissance and its one letter shorter.
The guy you spoke to on the road is most likely the guy who creeps people out at night on purpose who are trying to camp out.
Probably.
100%
Perhaps a close friend.
@@australiaprisonisland9156 of whom?
People died before and no one's lasted...? I'd seek out the history of that place. And the man telling you that was probably the one snooping around at night. Cause coincidentally he was there in that remote area, very early in the morning, at the exact moment you were walking to your car.. If campers really died there, he would be my first suspect..!
a few weeks ago I went to camp at Secret Beach on the coast of Oregon. When I arrived at the location, two really creepy masks were attached to the trees. Usually I would have ignored it, but Ive been at this location once before and just got the weirdest vibes and after seeing this, figured just not to risk it and went to a different location a couple miles away. Yes its stupid, but I've seen some really weird stuff while camping and have learned the hard way to not risk stuff like this.
You have to go with your gut 👍
Story time?
Where the beach at I’m tryna go
I was on a kayak camping trip with a group of friends. One of our campsites, super remote, we found a voodoo doll hanging in it. We still camped as there were many of us, but it was certainly odd.
As someone who camps in the woods of Oregon and Washington there are some very odd places I've been that made me feel very uncomfortable.
The time to worry is when it goes dead quiet. So quiet you can't even here the breeze. That's when you need to get out.
That's such supernatural talk but yes, there's a lot of people that can account exactly what you said, also a person that I follow from the US and they are a group of middle aged men and older, that go out with guns etc, and they had lights put up all around camp and they asked and they recived, the charged battery lights went out one after another, and they knew the batteries was good for several more hours, and it became also dead quiet only lightsource they had in the end was 1 LED lamp on battery and their fire.
Just becuse we don't understand it doesn't mean it's evil, but it seems it feeds of fear. Whatever it is.
I wouldn't worry about it. Skinwalkers are not real. It is actually pretty safe out there, even in the caverns. You can go explore them. Just make sure you are well fed before you go on a trip.
@@PastramiStaveni don't believe in anything supernatural, but one time i was walking through some really thick pine forests in yorkshire. Birds chirping and breeze blowing. Suddenly the breeze stopped and everything went deathly silent. Now my first thought was the breeze stopping threw the birds off and scared them. But it seemed to happen at the exact same time as the breeze stopping...
The scariest thing though was my flight or fight response instantly activated. Hair on end, pupils dilated and all senses on full alert. Safe to say i got the fuck out of there sharpish 😅. Tell this story to this day when people ask my scariest moment. Still dont understand it...
@@PastramiStaven"How To Hunt", Channel, Goes Into More Detail, Squatch's EVERYWHERE.!
That's the thing. It's not what you see it's what you don't see and what you feel that scares you more. The brain can comprehend and rationalise anything you see be it good or bad but if you can't see anything the fight or flight kicks in. My flight kicked in this time 😬
Always pays to listen to your instincts. Rocks don't get thrown by foxes and squirrels. Would be cool if it was bigfoot though. 😅
Seriously, id love to have a bigfoot encounter. No doubt I'd crap myself but I've never heard of anyone being attacked by one so.... 🤷🏼♂️😬
@@NoviceWildCamper You probably did have a bigfoot encounter, or woodwose as they're called here in the UK.
Who knows. Weird either way 🤷🏼♂️ see if I can catch it on trail cam next time.
ITS IS

I took my little brother camping in the “off season” winter in California many years ago. I backpack, fish, trail run, and rock climb in the western US so I spend a lot of time outdoors. We were just hoping to hike during the day, cookout, and camp. There was no attendant to the campground and it was empty other than one other person at an RV. We camped on the far side of the grounds from that man who was sitting in a chair facing our direction. He didn’t seem too friendly and didn’t wave back to us. That night, items started going missing from our camp. Silently. Non food or scented items so less likely to be an animal doing this. The last straw was I walked my little brother to the stall toilet and when I turned around, the toilet paper roll I set outside the door for him was taken while I was rummaging in my car parked 10 yards or so away. My brother asked for the toilet tissue and I discovered it missing. It was a still and dry night. Not windy. Somebody was messing with us. We immediately packed and left. We suspected that other fella wanted the campground to himself. People are so strange. To sound like a typical American, I am armed in certain forests or certain areas of a forest. Lots of other Americans are. In California we struggle with illegal drug growers even after legalization of marijuana so there are unfortunately some unsavory characters who don’t want others around. Glad you’re safe.
Yeah that's just wierd. Cheers buddy. 👍
Camped in a remote spot in rural wales . Was awoken to what we could only describe as the sound of predator from the film sort of like that clicking sound but it sounded like 3 or 4. There was also a strange low humming noise . It was very bizarre and we were shaking to say the least . The fact it was right outside the tent door in the middle of the night . That one stays with me I can’t explain that one
That does sound weird. Oddly I can do the perfect predator impression too 😬🤣
Woah, that last update makes the entire video so much scarier. WOW.
Those noises were RIGHT on top of you and they were weird. Walking, running, throwing things, shaking trees, but the eeriest was the sound of something being dragged through the woods. Well done.
Cheers buddy. Yeah there were some weird noises for sure. I'll be going back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper subscribed and exciting to follow along!
Thank buddy 👍
Not every place is safe, especially to sleep! take it from an old US park ranger if you get a "bad feeling" (get the hell out now). Leaving you stuff there I believe saved you life. Your were given the "warning signs" that something did not want you there. Most people don't live to tell the tile and I cant express how lucky you are. remember: you are the Invader in their home! These words helps me my first time from an old ranger I learned so much from. "Best thing to take away from this is the knowledge you have gained and to never make the same mistakes again! Welcome to the club!
Cheers buddy. Lickily we don't have any real dangerous animals in the uk so it's only weirdos that may cause a problem. I'm thinking about going back but with some buddies next time if they can get over their fear. Defo not alone though 😬👍
@@NoviceWildCamper that would be a good video if you did
Club of no return
@@NoviceWildCamper I am in the UK, too. You say you don't believe in them, but we do have our version of Sasquatch etc., over here. Many people over here have had encounters with them and shared their experiences via you tube channels Perhaps best you research and listen to them. Perhaps 20 years ago, long before I was aware of any of this, in daylight I was on a walk 'up North' through woodland with my now ex. We randomly came across, for want of a better description, a tee-pee kind of construction. It eerily surprised us, and we kind of explained away what it was. A couple of years ago I subsequently stumbled upon people's descriptions and clear photographic evidence of what our Sasquatch build. It was the same as I had seen. The thrown rocks you found near you plus the branches landing with such accuracy, plus the crashing sounds: all typical Sasquatch behaviour, letting you know they were there, and didn't want you in their 'home.' Same as the ex park ranger shared with you above - and he should know: many have had encounters with creatures that supposedly do not exist, but actually do. We just occasionally visit their home environment so will always be 'rookies,' and mostly oblivious to what lives in our woods and forests, that doesn't want to be found or seen. On another walk around about the same time, I felt a peculiar not great feeling wash over me, like approaching a 'force field,' as we got closer. I said it seemed we were not welcome, so we changed route. A suggestion for you: when out driving and walking in the woodland etc., out loud say you are only visiting and respectfully ask for their permission to enter, and for their protection whilst you are there. That you respectfully mean them no harm whatsoever and ask for safe passage whilst you are there. When you say that, 'wait' to then feel their response. Then you will know what to do.
@hoopoo3721 - Hello. Have you shared any of your encounters on the you tube channels that document such things? They would appreciate hearing from you. Best wishes.
I would be too scared to hike and camp in the woods alone at night. I prefer to stay home lock my doors and say my prayers.
🤣 it's not generally that bad. I love it 99% of the time
Lol..me too! Once it's dark, dogs in, windows & curtains closed; doors locked!
I ain't no fool! 😮😂

Two other campers in the UK on different RUclips channels that I follow went through something similar
Hoping all goes well in future camping..take care ❤️🇨🇦
Thank sue. Yeah I've heard tons of noises in the woods but nothing like this has ever happened. Just didnt feel right. I'll be going back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
@@NoviceWildCamperOh brilliant idea. I want answers lol.
@@NoviceWildCamper do they have "big foot" or saswautch or yetti where you're from? I think you may have encountered something like that.
@beakfish7319 there are reports of similar but I don't believe we have the space to support a creature of that size in this country.
The Sasquatch are real and do inhabit England just look up Cannock Chase Big Foot encounters.
Glad you are ok. Unfortunately, there are some very twisted individuals about, with nothing better to do than interfere with others for their own amusement. I definitely feel the man you met in the morning knows something.
Yeah possibly. He was damn good at stealth if it was him. I'll be going back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
The imaginary man that said there were people killed in the woods? That man?
@jontysarge here comes stalky keyboard warrior. Jumping on other people's comments now. Pathetic. Who said anyone was killed? Idiot. Keep em coming though. Can see my analytics rising with each sad comment you make 🤣
Someone threw rocks and sticks at you. Would not surprise me if the people in the houses saw the fire and decided to make you unwelcome. They'd have the advantage of knowing the area well.
Great watch and good to catch up with you again Michael. Good to see your channel doing so well too. Keep up the great work :)
Cheers buddy 👍
It's an absolute pity, that we in the UK, are restricted by how we are allowed to protect ourselves.
Who says? Extreme situations force Extreme measures!
True but I ithink what he's saying is you can't carry as then it's premeditated and illegal. If someone broke into my house and I was there I have a hammer close at hand to deal with them. That would be fine to use in self defence and use 'whatever force I deem necessary' to defend myself. But if I took a gun camping with me and shot someone I'd be the one going to prison.
@@NoviceWildCamper I understand.
@@NoviceWildCamper
Also true. But we British don't need to carry guns as we have no real dangerous wild animals like America etc.
We do however need a knife to cut food, gut fish unless we just beat them to death with our fishing rods..lol
Plenty of weaponry in nature anyway!
Yeah I'm not adverse to using something close to hand if need be. I generally have a bushcraft type knife with me but prefer to use something solid or just my own self defense training.
What struck me was that you seem a vigilant switched on person. If there were people around you creating these noises you would have seen them. Particularly when the branch came at you in daylight. You were right to get out of there, always trust your gut in a situation like that👍
Thanks. I am generally very switched on a rational. I can camp anywhere and not be afraid of sounds and movement as all can be explained. That place just simply put the shivers up me. No other explanation than that. 🤷🏼♂️
I agree. He seems very levelheaded & took a logical approach to the circumstances that occurred.
In Australia, people seem overly concerned with snakes & spiders. In my opinion people are the most dangerous. In order to make videos creators need to light themselves or we wouldn't see anything,. Therein lies the problem.
When I go camping by myself, I know that light, sound & movement are big giveaways. No fires (only gas/spirit cookers) Torches are used sparingly (if at all) & are "shrouded" if used. Velcro, zips & "crackly" polyethylene/nylon tarps are slowly & quietly deployed. All my gear is subdued in colour. Adhering to these principles have resulted in me never being harassed (by authorities or weirdos alike) . My philosophy is: "They can't find you to hassle you if they don't know you're there"
The way I see it is there's nothing in this country that can harm you really so as long as your level headed you can get over and rationalise most noises but this was just odd. I too keep this as stealth as possible and never have a fire except for that time as I wanted to show the new firebox I was gifted. People were even commenting. Saying 'you need. Massive torch so you can see these people and blind them' I don't bring massive torches for that simple reason.
@@NoviceWildCamper I used an attachment that fitted to a mobile phone that converted it into a thermal camera. That's one piece of gear that would be brilliant to spot whatever's causing strange noises. Keep up the great work mate. I hope your future adventures have fewer problems
@davestuddert4392 someone else mentioned a company that do them. I contacted them and they are supposed to be sending me one to test. I'll be heading back there with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
the worst part of camping like this is while your in the tent anyone can walk right up to the tent unannounced to you till they make themselves known.
Yeah that's why I had my tarp wide open so if any lights were in I'd see them as it was way too dark and tricky to go through without unless you've got night vision 🤷🏼♂️
Thus the reason we developed vilages, live in communities and have houses.
@krisvq and thats the reason why I like to get out on my own and be away from all those areas. Solitude, peace and quiet. Generally 😂
@@daveyjones18 people wild camp on the streets of toronto. they be the homeless

This was amazing. Scared the crap out of me like a hollywood psych thriller. Llike one of those "found footage" videos, but more authentic than iv ever seen. I could feel your genuine uneasiness, they way you tensely described the uncanniness of the forest put me right there with you. I was feeling the energy, felt like my family room were those woods. Please go back !!
Thanks buddy. I've been sent a thermal camera and trail cams so I'm organising a trip back with mates to see what we can catch on film. Hopefully soon 👍
why the fuck should he go back ?
I did
Blimey…. This reminds me of a time myself and my friend were wild camping in a forest… same thing you have witnessed as far as large rocks and branches being thrown…. It was so scary, every time we thought it had settled… smack, there was another rock…. It was so unsettling…. Neither of us could see anything causing it… we packed up and left asap…. By this time it was getting light…. A man walked past us on the lane adjacent to the woods and said ‘Morning’ … it was him, I know it was him! He was so interested in creating conversation so we could explain or fears and we didn’t… he kept dropping hints…. He seemed happy with his nights work. He was out of place, filthy fingernails and cuts from brambles, but a new wax jacket, expensive boots and a mark on his head where some sort of camera or light must have been attached, yet he said he had only been out since first light… it was so bloody scary …. We left, he disappeared into woodland and we then got stalked all the way back to the car… I think he was playing a game in his mind xx
That does sound odd, and very similar. Where about was this?
@@NoviceWildCamper … it was down in wales… the man in the lane seemed desperate for us to discuss our night… we didn’t. It was bloody terrifying at the time…. Was grateful for the BJJ lessons that’s for sure ha ha xx
That's because he had a good idea what was with you that night, if you take the time to listen to some of the encounters ppl have had (literally thousands of them on RUclips) all the pieces start falling together!
@@jezasmith …excellent point… he knew, way before we did… I always take my dogs now, they know before us…. Situational awareness has helped too and we now have a plan if something should occur… we know where and what and how, so hopefully 🤞 if it happens again we are more prepared…. He was in it for the fear…. I will always assume the worst though, some people enjoy seeing fear, especially at their own design xx
@@charlotte583imagine his surprise if you fired 2 rifle shots in the air. Lol bet he'd never do that crap again
Just like to watch wild camping - hope to see more vids with less drama xD But to clarify I don't doubt the stress - Years ago I went camping in an abandoned quarry, whilst hunting for rabbits in the early hours (5 am ish) a figure appeared on the tops of the quarry shouting and gesturing. We as youths expected to be visited by a land owner or concerned member of the public but nobody appeared. We later went down a long path to a local shop/post office and after telling them where we were camping they asked if we had seen "Old Jake". Yes pretty disconcerting so I'm not calling you out weird $hip definitely does happen.
I normally enjoy a nice easy camp, that's the only reason I go but this was just wierd. Never felt like that before and just had to leave.
I used to be a gamekeeper and I suspect that’s who you met and at first when he saw an empty car he most probably thought you were poaching. It’s empty cars that give people away and then it’s just a matter of either listening out, tracking, smelling woodsmoke or seeing a light source to find you. Failing that hide by the car and wait it out for your return.
I expect he’s doing a ‘Blair Witch’ job to deter people from wild camping there, looks like it worked too.😂
I sleep like a baby when I wild camp, but then I’m in Wales and I take my dogs with me.😁
God knows what he was doing but whoever it was got damn close to my camp in pitch black without me seeing him 😬
idk, he'd also have some guts to do that, cause someoone poachiing is someone with a firearm, i wouldnt go fcking arround aand throwing rocks at niight in the woods to someone who is probably armed and afraid.
@@Luis-bo2uj A keeper would soon notice the difference between a poacher and a wild camper. A poacher wouldn’t camp or light a fire for starters, yet a keeper would try all manner of things to deter wild campers from his beat.
I would never park in a spot where it was obvious I was in the woods, asking for trouble...
Thank you, stay safe.
👍
Defo something strange going on for sure. Fair play for getting out. Always follow your gut instinct. Better to be safe than sorry. Just subbed dude look forward to following you on your adventures
Cheers buddy. Much appreciated. I'm already planning on revisiting now but with mates. I'll never go back there alone again. Atb 👍
I watch videos from Japan, where there are countless eerie and terrifying stories from the many mountains, as 70% of the country's land is covered by them. With numerous dark and frightening places, encounters with ominous entities have been a common tale in Japan's mountains. As a city dweller, I find Japan's mountains quite intimidating. I've been to the UK twice, and it's a beautiful country with bright and lovely natural surroundings. Even in the UK, there are sometimes eerie forests. I believe that in mountains and nature, strange and frightening entities may occasionally roam. Be cautious.
As superior beings on this planet we belive we know everything but there's so much more out there and we are discovering new things regularly
@@NoviceWildCamper...the Japanese forest activity is/has been positively identified by hundreds of campers and trail walkers as being nothing else but supernatural.It is considered relatively mainstream thinking by Japanese people.
I lived in Japan for a bit. Those forested mountains were remote empty and truly beautiful but definitely had a vibe of we’ll tolerate you being here in the day time, but you don’t want to be out here in the dark. It was the landscape itself and whatever unseen things that dwelt in it that gave you that sense - nothing human. That was their realm and they left you in no doubt of that.
Any youtube channels to recommend? Would love to spook myself out with some Japanese camping stories.

Creepy story....but very entertaining! Thanks for sharing!

I bet if someone had dropped you off to go camping in the woods there, you would have had a normal camping adventure. He most likely saw your car parked on the road. Probably gets his jollys screwing with the campers in those woods.
Probably although if it was him he was bloody stealthy and I reckon must have had night vision as there were zero lights going on in there.
@Yodaspirit45 there's a lot of weirdos about
@@NoviceWildCamperI use lights to a minimum when camping in local woods .It's amazing how your eyes will adapt in the dark
I did and normally do however this was my first time using the firebox too as wanted to test it. Problem is you can't really produce a video without lights 👍
Not to mention you would've definitely heard a human walking about, I'd find it very strange if someone was just standing and watching most of the night.@@NoviceWildCamper
I’d set up booby traps around my camp as I’m hard of hearing, my dog alerts me, then I’m alerted and ready to confront whatever is lurking, always love camping and bushcraft, spending time in the wild and nature away from my town
I'm going back with mates amd trail cams. Should be fun 😂😬
I've had a similar situation while camping here in the states. Branches being thrown, unexplained noises, though nothing that sounded obviously human. Decided to pack up the next morning, on my hike out i found a homeless man's well established campsite about 200 meters from where i had been camped. I figure it was him attempting to scare me off to keep me away from the area.
Always trust your instincts. I'm glad you weren't injured by whoever was tossing rocks at your camp.
Chertsey buddy. Yeah it was odd and it was more the feeling I had there than anything else. I said I wouldn't go back but I've been sent a thermal camera and trail cams so I'm going back with a couple of mates to see if we can catch on cam whatever it was 👍
welcome to the club!
What a scary experience. It sounds like someone may be living rough and you, unfortunnately, entered their space. We have big forest preserves by me, I live in a suburb of a big city, however, you do see men who will live outside in these forest preserves. I'm glad that you're alright.
If it was a person they were dead good at stealth. Not sure what it was but I'm going back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
Probably doggers
That was so strange mate what a freak out !
Glad your ok
Cheers G 😊
Cheers Graham. God knows what it was but im not going back to find out! 😬
@@NoviceWildCamper
Defo not my god that could put you off camping for ever !
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thanks for sharing your experience. i'd feel the same about it. Especially after that fellow stopped you and said what he did. Quite an encounter. Appreciate it.
Thanks Tom. I did go back but my mates blew me out as they were supposed to come with me. Got pressured from commenters 😬😂
I’m the most peaceful, layed back person you’ll ever meet.. but I go fully strapped while camping in the woods.. better to be safe because you never know anymore
Good idea💡
I can generally look after myself and guns/knives etc. are illegal to walk around with in the UK (maybe get away with a bushcraft knife) plus I never actually saw anything that could harm me or me harm it so wouldnt have helped me. I do carty a small knife for use around camp but that's it.

lol americans
@@emerhanlon6282 So?
Mate you are brave . I love walking and carving wood in the woods and know the woods can sometimes be strange . But with what you’ve experienced in there , I’m glad you got out safely. This video put the creeps on me as that’s definitely not normal. Personally I’d get a Sofirn q8 plus torch as that would have lit the place up like daylight . And always carry a good stick with you . Blackthorn preferably. Very scary video , but I love it and glad you are ok 👍
Cheers buddy. I used to have a 20000lm torch, massive and had a 2km beam. Sold it though, was too heavy to carry everywhere 😂
@@NoviceWildCamper yeah carrying extra weights ok until you get to the point of thinking “ this wasn’t a good idea “ 😂🤣. 👍
I've freaked myself solo camping more than once. Only ever left once, literally took off running and straight through a river too. I hate to say it but there was most likely nobody there at all. It happens. Thanks for your vid I'll check out your others.
Cheers John. Yeah it's never happened before where I've just had to leave but I will be going back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
@@NoviceWildCamperI hope to see this update soon! This sounds really interesting, and if nothing turns out it’ll still be a fun video to watch! Keep us posted!!!
Yeah, i would really Like to see some footage from your coming trip aswell. Maybe Take some thermal image-, or night vision scope with ya. Easiest way to see in realtime whats going on.
Ive been sent a thermal camera as well so will be using that too 👍
That guy you mentioned the end outed himself massively 😂
Once, I was solo camping and started hearing dogs barking/growling occasionally. I could not figure out where it was coming from, and it scared the crap out of me because it was so clear and sounded as if it was right on top of me. Finally, I glanced up at the right moment only to realize the vultures up in the trees were making that sound. I had seen them around but did not think they would make those sounds. They were the vultures you see on the road eating road kill. I've also seen some tiny animals making some loud noises. Noises that, if heard in the dark, would make you think something big was just out of sight.
A rabid or distemper raccoon passed by the woods near my house last night... it sounded like a women screaming at the top of her lungs. The thing screamed by a car and it was so loud it set the car alarm off. It was just a sick coon but it sounded like a women being slaughtered. If you didn't see it youd think it was a dam skinwalker or some other giant monster.
I would definitely say it was the bloke. Which is a shame as he basically ruined your night. So I think you should name the place so other people won’t have to go through the same 😊 and also so if people want to go out there and teach him a little lesson back, by spooking him.. then maybe he gets his come uppance 👌
Possibly yes but he did extremely well at getting around in the pitch black without lights though. However, I have now decided to go back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
@@NoviceWildCamperdid you go back with friends? How did it go?
@kcarter016 not yet. Trying to sort a date out. Hopefully soon. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper I'll happily come and support. Could make a fun vid. I reckon that guy sees the cars parked up and knows there're people in the woods, then plays his game. I reckon we set up a couple of stealth bivis and one bait hammock :D
Where abouts you based?
thermal night visions would have been handy there. #boo
I'm waiting for someone to send me some 🤣🤞🏼
Normies sometimes ask me why I always in to the woods "strapped for bear".
They seem to miss the fact, that being alone deep in the wilderness can be fucking dangerous.
And: no.
I don't mean the regular animals.
Im scared I will get abducted and tied up for some reason, its crazy cos why would that happen?
Maybe cos you want it to? 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamper I would be pretty helpless in the woods anyway, let alone with tied wrists
Video footage was awesome ❤
Thank you 😊
I am a female solo wild camper. Everything looks creepy in the dark. If you add to that sounds that you are not familiar with, the effect is nothing short of eerie and engenders a fight or flight response. There is no shame in packing up if you are scared. In time, you will get used to the creaks of trees, the snuffling of hedgehogs, the screams of foxes and the movement of critters in the grass that you can't see. Give yourself time, you will get used to it and you will be able to enjoy spending the night in woods.
I love camping in the woods and have had many years of enjoying the woodland noises along with the creatures that live there keeping me company, this just wasn't the same. Its nothing like anything I habe ever experienced in my many nights in the woods hence the bail. I've never left a camp before however I am planning on going back there with friends and trail cams just to see if anything untoward happens. 👍
Cryptids are more real today than they ever been. Especially now. I would not step foot in woods by misc this day and time.
The sounds of nature at night whilst camping can defo be creepy, but I cant think of too many british animals that can throw rocks.
I love the sounds of the woodlands at night. Myfirst trips out were nervy as everything sounds like someone creeping up on you but when you're used to them it's actually quite comforting. This was like nothing I'd experienced before hence me leaving. Certainly wasn't the normal woodland sounds I'm used to 😬
@@rodneyhaworth9363 You've never seen the wild chav then? Comes out at night, enjoys causing mischief. Can be found in woodlands drinking or partaking in certain drugs.
It gets dark here in southern Mississippi at about 5:30ish now that the time changed here in the U.S.A. but I don't mind. I'll be glad when the burn ban goes off so I can burn all the wood in the back yard!! I truly loved your video. I was having a panic attack and you helped me by listening to what you were going through!!😮😱 You sure picked a spooky forest to camp in!!! Yea, you learn something through this kind of camping for sure!! Till next time, stay safe!!😊
Hi. Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment. I will be heading back with mates and trail cams so watch this space 👍
Pretty scary, glad u made it out of the woods
Thank you 👍
I was out dogging in the woods that night with my mate Dave and we heard some strange grunts and what sounded like someone rubbing something over and over again. Then all of a sudden there was a loud moaning noise and the rubbing stop. We were convinced it was a Sasquatch and left immediately
🤣
Gay people are pretty scary, that's not normal
it was me
@@CockdonutYou shouldn't be rubbing one off in the woods. It might get you shot.
It was just Sasquatch beating his meat.
I like to go wild camping as often as I can, but there's always a risk of something weird happening when you're alone.........there's something about someone just wanting to spend a peaceful evening in nature that really winds the nutters up!
I found a really nice spot just outside of Stroud last year, so I hunkered down with my hammock and started setting up for dinner.........I had a small twig stove cooking a steak as I sat there with a beer, just minding my own business, when a group of locals started flashing torches, chucking branches through the woods and making weird screeching sounds........it unnerved me so much that I ended up tearing the hammock down and bugged out into a field, slowly creeping around the woods and making my way back to the car. It took me about 2 hours to get back in the pitch black, and I had to flatten the seats to lie down.......ended up shivering in my sleeping bag until the sun came up!
So sad that there are so many weirdos out there.......we should be allowed to enjoy mother nature without the threat of being attacked in the middle of the night, huh?!
Yeah its a shame that this country is so far behind others in Europe and the rest of the world where it comes to wild camping and enjoying the outdoors. Everywhere is owned by someone or used as drug and alcohol abusers. Sad state.
@@NoviceWildCamper Yep, we're a backwards lot! I was driving through the Windrush valley recently, just west of Oxford......it's absolutely stunning, but all private land with gamekeepers and signs everywhere.
I'm off to Scotland at Xmas with my bike and hammock.....gonna see what I can find up there. Just watching you in the Peak District now......creepy!
@Dandroid5000 yeah that was a good camp. Made it to the national papers 😂 love to try Scotland. They've got it sorted for wild camping 👌
That is what the animals all feel like!!
Well that's Stroud for you.
I think he knew you were camping in the woods and most likely the one throwing things in your direction.
Possibly. He was damn stealthy if it was him
I've camped out in all sorts of locations ever since I was a kid, and in all those years have only had one encounter similar to yours. It was in Cornwall, with a couple of mates, when I was about 18 or 19. We had been hiking along the remains of a disused railway line, and had set up camp in a clearing opposite what appeared to be a badly ruined halt. It really was in the middle of nowhere, and we hadn't seen a soul for a good couple of hours - not a tourist spot, for sure. Once we'd settled down for the night we started to hear the usual night sounds; like you say, nocturnal animals going about their business. Then, after a while, we began to hear what sounded like footsteps in the undergrowth. All three of us stopped talking, and focused on the sounds, which seemed to get close, then stop - but when they started again seemed to be further away, and coming from a different direction. We decided that we'd had enough, and jumping out of the tent, would confront the prankster. However, before we could do so, the footsteps started coming from the railway platform, with the unmistakable sound of someone pacing up and down on concrete. I don't mind telling you we were shitting ourselves. This seemed to last forever, until the sound of a door slamming shut, and then total silence. We sat huddled together, too scared to even turn on the torch. Once it got light we packed up and got the hell out. However, (and this I still cannot explain after all these years) is that there were no doors on the halt. It was a totally derelict shell. And yet all three of us distinctly heard the sound of a door being slammed. Weird, just utterly baffling.
There's.slme wierd stuff out there for sure and this one just didn't sit right with me. Camped hundreds of times and never felt like this, heard things like this or had rocks and branches land like that. 👍
I'm now 50, but around 20 years ago my friend and i wild camped in a very dense section of thick trees around 50 meter Square the rest of the forest was not too thick. At 3:15am we awoke to the sound of a roar and deep growling around our camp also very heavy foot steps slowly circling around the thick tree line, stopping every now and again, this went on for 5 mins and slowly it moved away. 20 mins later we heard the scream of some animal and again another roar and silence. I waited until 7am to venture out for a p@ss to stumble on the intact head of a small deer with just its spine still attached at the entrance we made. This was in the uk about two miles in from Matchams Lane in Dorset
Jesus. Was that reported?
Uncle Wally pulled a bender, sorry he gets like that on firewater...
Does that area have brown bear? I was thinking i read an article about the UK bringing them back around the Bristol area?
I have lots of black bear here in Johnson County, Tennessee they can make some noises, hearing a mother bear clacking its jaws is a very scary sound... You vacate the area immediately if you ever hear that...
We have Mountain Lions making a comeback as well, i got a nice game cam pic of a 200lb cat on my land. 😳
Bobcats have an array of wild sounds/ calls, so do our owls which are confused for a Bigfoot whooop 😂🤣😂
No we don't have bears although plenty of big cats have been spotted and we're not supposed to have those either.
We have creatures of the night, my grandfather always told me , " just because we cant see it, does not mean something is not there. "
The rocks being thrown, ive heard about these things before but never experienced it.. id like to experience one of these encounters as crazy as it sounds...
I'm now 60 years old, and I'm a woman. Back in my 20s and 30s I use to solo camp. I live in Idaho, and so owning a handgun was never an issue. I had two dogs I would take with me. They were not my guard dogs, but my watch dogs.
I was the one in charge of my protection and the revolver my dad gave to me when I turned 18 and moved out of the house, was what made me feel safe in the forest.
I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, or bigfoot...and I was far more concerned about the two legged predator than I was of any 4 legged one. There are bears, cougars, wolves, and coyotes in my area. And too, deer, elk, and moose moving around can make for scary noises. As said, I wasn't really afraid of the critters. It was other humans, specifically, men who might try to take advantage of a young woman camping alone.
I never had any thing weird happen, except for one time, when I had a whole mountain lake to myself - and I was sitting outside my tent just before dusk. Both of my dogs suddenly stood and looked in the direction of the lake that was downhill from where I was camping.
They didn't growl, but their hackles were up. I heard...one 'crash' as though something big went through some deadfall and that was it. The dogs within 45 seconds were relaxed again, so I think what they heard, or smelled might have been a large elk headed down to the lake, or maybe even a bear or cougar. The dogs were fine the rest of the night and I never heard anymore bumps in the night. But I won't lie...lol. The handgun was very close to my sleeping bag that night...closer than where I usually put it...still within reach, but again, not like I had it that night.
That's the thing with this country. We can't carry guns but also we don't have any predators that could kill us either apart from other nutters in the woods 😂 I heard the noises of every natural creature and know them well and find them comforting but this time it was just odd. Something not right. My gut was telling me to get out. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper
As I mentioned, I'm a woman...and I think most women really understand at a deep level what you were feeling and many of us are really good at recognizing it and Acting upon it. I honestly believe this is an ingrained biological safety thing that comes with being a woman.
I think men have a milder version of it, but often do not react to it, when they feel it, or it might not be strong enough to even get their attention.
So when they do react, it must be something pretty dangerous that woke up some primitive part of one's subconsciousness that understands something isn't right.
You were right to leave. I wouldn't be surprised if dangerous men/or a man were nearby. Hope you keep listening to that inner gut feeling.
I also know that most places outside of the USA won't allow guns. But maybe you can check the regulations to see if pepper spray, or some other non lethal device can be used.
And if nothing else, sleep with a hand axe, or a large knife near you....tools one would use for camping, but can also be used to protect one's self if it came down to it.
Stay safe : )
I've spent a thousand nights in the wood, in France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Norway and never faced anything like that neither heard about it from somebody else. And you're not the only one on youtube who has that type of scary experience in the UK so the most rational explanation for me is that bigfoots are living in the UK 😆 That might motivates me to come, if you can share the location I will officially create the first Haunted Thru Hike, HTH!
It doesn't really have a name for the location. It's just a little woodland north of Newton Abbott.
Your not far from me then bruv..I think I recognise the woodlands and road.
It's tucked away but maybe 👍
U.K. was a vampires ancestors people there.
Creatures like that exist .
The UK does have a version of Bigfoot, it's called the Woodwose.
Man it's hard to explain these sorts of situations but I've had two separate encounters where something just didn't "feel right". Situations where things just didn't add up at all.
You got to go with your gut 👍
Yay for Temu!
I started camping out at my grandparents home just about every weekend. My Granddad would let me use his camping gear to play house outside as far back as I could remember. Then my cousins and I were all between ages 5-8 and would camp out back in the early 70’s right outside my grandparents bedroom so I grew up loving camping out doors. It escalated in my teens and young adult years and into my early 30’s by going to the River to camp. If we went into groups we would bring a tire to light fires during the real colder weather. My granddad was a hunter so I never got to go camping with him. Alone I had one specific place that I loved going to which was the Pee Dee river right near the shoreline and it had a lot of brush surrounding the area except near the shoreline where I had a pretty good size of a clearing for my tent. Once I arrive there I would first setup tin cans or jingle bells surrounding my campsite and I never went without my weapon right beside me in the tent. If I heard those tin cans or bells I would pop up like a jack-n-the box and it allowed me enough time to make sure I was awake and holding my protection before anyone got to me. I had more young lovers walking up to my campsite than anything else and of course they would be drinking. I had more times with zero disturbances than anything. The reason I loved this place was it did limit people driving up since it required a 4x4 to get there but the last 1/4 mile of the road was a steep uphill climb and the final stopping point was on a flat surface, so you would be at the highest point atop la fairly large hill with such a beautiful scenic area by day and night if you were fortunate enough to come on a full moon night. I would setup my campfires atop the hill and cook and eat there during hotter months. The drop off point overlooking the river I would say was 12 to 14 ft high. I caught many glimpses of the full moon there. In my teen years at the top of that hill it was covered in trees so the stopping point was much further back on the road and you had to walk the remainder. You could only fit maybe 3 medium size tents atop the large hill in different spots between trees. Then one weekend during my teen years I came with my best friend and it had been at least a month I had been camping but someone came and cut down every tree a top of that hill and even hauled the trees away and if I had to guess there were at least 35 to 40 trees that were cut down. It was so amazing though because you could see out across the river from all 3 sides of the hill. I camped on the hill after that day only when I had a friend with me otherwise I was off on the right side camping off the barricaded in safety. Kept my campsite cooler at night. My campsite was really camouflaged through some brush just off the right hand side of that same road with low hanging tree branches just before you would come to a small clearing. I would park my jeep behind some brush up to my knees and between 2 trees on the right hand side of the road. I lived within 10 miles of that river. You wouldn’t know I was there camping until you would run into the tin cans hid inside brush and they would be more scared than myself because 9/10 they had their girlfriends with them screaming. There were a couple times the teenager boys would start showing me a little more attention than their girl because they couldn’t believe they came across a 30ish year old woman camping alone with weapons. I wasn’t married and loved every minute of it until a girlfriend would start arguing wanting to leave. Most of these teenagers would walk down this road or drive up with a dirt bike or 4 wheelers. Over the years there have been a few women who have passed away from committing suicide by jumping off however one ruling changed when it turned out to be the spouse who had pushed her off. A military plane of some kind fell into the river nearly 20 years ago and several life’s were lost on that day! They say there is catfish the size of an average man in this river. Hoped you enjoyed my story!!
Wow that sounds an amazing place. Lucky to have it so close and have those memories. 👌👍
I enjoyed your story! you are one brave lady!
@@Jkk55 I don’t see it as brave. It was instilled in me at such a young age it’s like 2nd nature. If I didn’t get the experience at such a young age and started this later in life, I believe this would be completely different. Such as 2 people at all times. I had a chance to go riding on a horse when I was pregnant in my 2nd trimester so I discussed this with my doctor. I had rode horses before a number of times but not on any pattern routine. He said absolutely not because it’s not part of your normal routine prior to my pregnancy. My body would’ve been prepared for the ride through muscle memory. The percentage of me getting hurt on my own horse would’ve been very slim chance. I hope that makes sense!
Take a big foot to crush it lol
Thanks for sharing
I have no fear of the dark. I use it's premortal awareness too keep sharp my combat edge. I camp, hunt, and hike as if I'm LRRP'n. No fire. Sterno instead. I often see predators not aware of me.
I've had experiences like this, not while camping. My son and his wife live up in North Georgia in the mountains, they live in a fairly small, quiet neighborhood. I stay with them when go up that Way, I go outside to smoke and every damn time I would go outside at night I was so freaked out that I would stand with my back against the door and my hand on the door handle. Before getting to that point I would walk around the yard and smoke, talk on the phone and sometimes walk their dog, but after hearing what sounded like someone running toward me, and even having the feeling that I was about to be knocked over, only to never see anything and the footsteps and running would stop just abruptly. It was terrifying. One night we all were talking and I brought that up. I was shocked and relieved to find out that my daughter in law had experienced the same thing multiple times. We both had taken the flashlight out with us,, and I would have the feeling that surely I would see something based on all the noise but I never did.
Personally I find it's when you can't see something it makes it worse than when you can because you cannot rationalise or imagine what it is
@@NoviceWildCamper that's so true.
There were so many times that I would shine the light slowly from one side of the yard to the other, terrified at what I might see, but after investigating as much as I could allow myself, I would feel sick to my stomach at the mere thought that the "thing" this noise belongs to apparently has the ability to disguise itself into its surroundings and I would have no way of knowing if it were standing right beside or behind me, or even follow me into the house.
Does anyone have any theories as to what it could be?
I experienced nearly the same situation in Czechia, southeastern regions. I was in a small recrenational cottage with my friends, few neighbhours around.
It is nothing like mountains in North Georgia. Nature here in southern Moravia is extremelly peaceful, only small woods, lots of open flat terrain, small hills and no large predator animals... only wild boars are dangerous here.
We had an argument, so I left out for a while, just walked down from a cottage and then turned on a main road which leads through forest on both sides. I realized im too far from the recreational area and heading into pitch black. I was still little bit angry so I kept going.. at least for a few seconds more... Suddenly something which sounded like a large creature in front of me started stomping very fast... and I heard heavy breathing almost angry puffing.... It was like for a few seconds and it went quiet. I almost went crazy and I took my photo camera I had and push the button to photograph, camera lighting went on, but I saw nothing in front of me. There was just a few meters of the road and a pitch black on the photo. It is notable, that road I was walking that night had massive guardrail which prevented cars from potentially crash into forest.
I never went into or near the woods after sunset again. It freaked me out so much I experience anxienty and fear being in the countryside environment at night in a pitch black. Like I have a some sort of Phobia now....
Maybe my senses went crazy as well as your senses went crazy in pitch black. And our senses overestimated what we think it was and how intense and loud it was?
Love stuff like this, gives me those old Survivorman vibes. Keep it up, mate.
Cheers buddy. I'm planning on heading back as I've now got thermal camera and trail cams. Not till I can get a date agreed with my mates though as I won't be going back alone 😬
You had spirits wanting to say hello. The woods are never left empty. There's always something out there. Whether it's friendly or demonic.
As an American, I am glad that I can go camping with a firearm. Yes its for dealing with dangerous and agressive wildlife primarily, but unfortunately the nost dangerous and aggressive wildlife in the woods is other people. Stay safe out there man.
Btw, I pray I never have to use my weapon to defend myself. Not even on wildlife, but its pure piece of mind, and you should still leave when feeling unsafe.
My body was tense the whole time. Very scary for me. Glad you're safe though.
I enjoyed it. Ty
Cheers buddy. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
My condolences !
I had only one camp I had to bail from, felt I was being watched and herd bipedal foot steps, but no one there when I shone the flash light. How could anyone navigate and hide so well in the dark and get so close to me without a flashlight, when I couldn't see my own hand in the dark....? Same story as you, I could pin point the foot sounds and crashing wood, but never anyone there. Last weekend I camped where I KNOW there is a big cat, and heard it calling for a mate, I have footage of it on my night cam, it was about three foot tall and six foot long looks like a lynx or bob cat, but she is very timid and never poses any threat to me, seen her three times now, but invisible wood souls scare the crap out of me.....I relate to this video very much, great watch....Take it easy buddy...bex

I used to get lost alone in the forest and strange things have happened..it's scary but I love camping😊😊😊
It's the first time I've ever bailed and never felt like this. I normally love forest camping. 👍
My Grandpa had a patch of woods that people liked to camp in near a bend in a river. If he told them it was "haunted" or that "odd things happen down there at night", people reported "odd things", and some gave up and left before morning of the first night. If he said nothing, there were no "oddities" reported. MOST of the time people bring their own "funny noises in the night" with them.
Of course if they camped without permission they heard a LOT of "strange noises". LOL
I don;t think this guy threw rocks at himself though.
🤣 think I'd wind them up too if it was my land
Wow that was intense. I think some places are different. I love being in the wood and countryside, but there are places that feel like your not wanted there no matter wat time it is or weather. There is some woods local to me and in broad daylight I can't wait to get away from the place. Dog hates it as well
It's certainly amplified in the woods with all then natural creatures and the sounds they make tracking over twigs and through bushes but this just wasn't normal. Never felt like this before 😬
That's usually a predator being in the area.
@@roughroadstudioor spirits/entities, when you think of all the rituals and murders/sacrifices that have been going on in any ancient wood, they have got to be the most haunted places you can find

some woods are like that,part of my local woods are the same its the way the wind and rain current hits the top of the trees and blows through the folage! It can take off long dead branches without a sound,when you went back to your tarp at sunrise and you could hear the rain droping in waves ever now and again thats tell tale sign! I bet there is reasonable hills at either side of that camp! I live in scotland on the top of the clyde valley and the weather is crazy at times plays tricks on your mind
Yeah I understand those things but it was more how rocks landed near me and a branch bounced at a 45 degree angle toward me. That's what I found hard to understand when I was there.
That bloke trying to scare u off needs to be stopped, go camp back up there with a pal and night vision
Possibly. If it was him he was bloody stealthy up there. I was well tucked away and kept going out to check and couldn't see anyone. He would have had to have had night vision too as it was pitch black and there were no signs if torches or anything. I had my tarp wide open so I could see almost 360 and it was pitch black.
Yeah seems real strange, and what he said to u. Also crushed water bottle? Any weird history on them woods? Fair play to u getting out if not enjoyable. If its not far from u scope it out in day time
Told a mate and he googled and found out some ancient murder case but I think it was a different area with the same name. Certainly odd though. 👍
Don’t go back there, not even with friends. Has all the makings of a horror film that doesn’t end well! 🤣
😂 Blair witch
Yer I totally agree
Ill be fine with mates 👍
We always tack up those motion activated lights in a perimeter around our tent. One night, while taking a wee, one tripped, and I just made out someone running off. Needless to say, it was a long, sleepless night.
😬
i really like your videos good job
Thanks 👍
I think it's a shame you didn't film that guy as what he said about 'people have died before, noone's lasted' is a creepy thing to say and at least you would've been able to expose this weirdo publicly.
I had my camera packed away then. Shame as I could have clicked it on record and got him without being too obvious.
@@NoviceWildCamper The kids of today don't care! just get your phone out.
@SonofChurchill it was packed away so would look a but wierd asking him to hang on while I get my phone out. The convo was over in 20 seconds.
Wow, a great Halloween camp in the making. 😂
Wasn't meant to be. I'm out Halloween on the way up to the Midlands for work 😂
So creepy!
Thank goodness for closed caption subtitles I must say😅
Loved the dynamic of the video. Authentic, straight to the point. I do like some of the "third-person perspective camera" sometimes, but when used too much, makes the footage looks silly (given the purpose of the video, ofc), but in your case, it looked really balanced.
The events in this camp reminded me when the Survivorman (Les Stroud) went to my homeland (Brazil), to the rainforest more precisely, and then, after few days he quit. Partially because his equipment was dying, one by one, due the humidity, but also because he could barely sleep due the noises during the night. They're mostly jaguars (onças pintadas), circling around his hammock. He had to flee to an indian settlement and ask for help.
Cheers buddy. Yeah that sounds a bit more dangerous than what we have to put up with here in the uk 😂👍
I used to go out in to Epping forest in the early 70s, never alone. But it was a favourite dumping ground for bodies by London Gangsters, people still find their remains. I had a friend, I was 14 and he was 16. He must have upset someone. He was tied to a tree and died of exposure. Some reckoned he’d dissed some Hells Angels, who knows? But Epping is one place I’ll never go in the dark, if ever.
Yeah there's some dodgy people about. And large woodlands are popular for hiding bodies. I am going back though, but with mates and trail cams. Watch this space.
@@NoviceWildCamper I will
#boo
Hats off to you for sticking it out as long as you did, I'd have been from there as soon as the rock landed near me.
That bloke has definitely done the same to others, hopefully he'll do it to the wrong bloke one night and get his comeuppance.
Thinning about going back with buddies. Theyre a bit scared though 😂 would make it easier to hide in the woods while they're in their hammocks.
@@NoviceWildCamper 🤣Maybe one in a hammock, the rest lying low in bivvys, ready to jump out and scare the living crap out of that weirdo.
We're already takking trail cams and permitted alarms 😂
@@NoviceWildCamper I'd be tempted to dig a man trap and make him beg to be lifted out 🤣
Very very nice sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nic
Im from North Wales and i've camped out a l ot however, one place i hate camping is near bodies of water regardless of ocean or lake as for some reason everytime i do i hear noises i just wouldn't think you'd hear in the water once my suspicion was correct and there were younger people out drinking scared to my core as all i could hear were basically whispears and rustling of rocks and water 😅
😂 it's amazing how some things sound so different at night
that guy at the end was right...i camped there a few years back and i died there. shame
Boots"
Goin' home, late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah I looked through a window and surprised what I saw
Fairy wear boots and dancin' with a dwarf, all right now!
This feels like old RUclips - great video, subbed!
Cheers buddy 👍
Woodland is full of ethereal beings the wood imps cause havoc
lol grow up
I don't blame you one bit. That is why I always carry a gun when I'm out in the woods. Makes me feel better.
Yeah just a shame we can't carry them in the uk. Although saying that I don't think it would help as the weirdos like this would have one too 😂
I loved your vid mate I would of freaked too
Cheers buddy. Something just wasn't right in that place. I'm still trying to convince my mates go back with me but they keep making excuses 😂
There are things out there that cant be explained. Paranormal or otherwise. I wouldn't doubt either one.
I used to night fish and camp and we heard giant rocks crashing into the water, the woods are very spooky at night
I think it's in our survival instincts to be more alert at night. Our adrenaline goes up at the slightest sound or perceived danger. It wasn't too long ago,we were all sleeping in the woods every night- with the bears and wolves hunting us in our vulnerable sleeping state.
@@SuperSteve101 theres more to it than that, millions of us have seen what weve seen and its not heightened senses
