I'm a PNW denizen, right up against the cascades on the west side of a popular mountain pass. I've seen some wild shit. I don't expect you to believe me, but it's been a long day, I'm 3 white russians deep and I feel like rambling so y'all are gonna get one of my stories. Got a few but this is a good fit for the music I think. Me and some buddies were up doing long range target shooting off an old logging road, used to be a thoroughfare but when the lumber dried up so did the stream of workers, leaving behind towns so small they eventually lost their zipcodes. We were maybe 10 miles up an old track we accessed a further 20 or so off an old highway, and it was getting dark. I've got a rifle with a night vision scope, so I was practicing using it, aligning the IR beam with the target, so on. Friend's taking his try at it, I'm looking through a spotting scope calling his shots when he freaks out. Says someone is in the field we're shooting at. Now, we were maybe 6, 700 yards away from this field doing long shots, so we might've missed somebody showing up. I scan the entire area with the monocular, nothing. I ask him where he saw them, he says he still has eyes on, gives me a precise point. By now everyone's stopped shooting, and my buddy on my rifle has the bolt back, and mag out, all weapons clear and safe. I check where he says he's seeing the hiker, I don't see anything. He swears up and down I'm just not looking right, and demands I go grab his spotting scope to check. It's a thermal, so I'll be able to see where he's looking, the IR emitter on the scope will paint the reticle position. I check, and sure enough, exactly the same place I was just 100% sure was clear. But now on thermal, there was a human shaped patch of extraordinarily low temperature. I call this out and a gal who was with us is concerned someone down there's suffering from hypothermia, but we tell her to hold, this is different. The entire body, which was invisible without some kind of IR system, night vision thermals etc, was a uniform temperature. My buddy on the rifle goes pale when I clarify this and says we gotta go, and I've known the man a decade or so, and he doesn't raise fuss without need, so I start packing everything up. We're packed and running down the mountain in about 5 minutes, spread out across 3 trucks with radios. I'm sat shotgun, my buddy who was on the rifle is driving, and a third friend was sat in the back with the ammo cans. He's fiddling with his binoculars trying to focus em. This friend is a bit more into exaggeration than the first one I mentioned, so take this with a grain of salt, but he says he saw footprints of dead, withered grass crossing the field. We tried to talk it out on the way down, call it a scratch or a blockage in the lense on the IR emitter, or maybe a weather phenomenon, but we haven't gone shooting there since. I don't run night vision either, I switched over to a full analogue traditional scope and never looked back. If you read all of this, let me know if you think I'm a lying old bastard, or if you've seen something similar. Rifle scope was an ATN Xsight 4k, dunno about the thermal spotting scope since it wasn't mine. Have a good day.
@@RAT-ROAST Don't know if I'd say capital D Death would be the kind of thing you'd pick up on a thermal scan, but either way, not heading back is a fantastic suggestion. We've been going to a different mountain, and making sure we dress warm
@@allgoodnamesaretaken6145 Sounds like a vampire if you ask me you probably couldn't see it through your scope because he or she wouldn't have a reflection in the glass but could see them on your thermal and the reason their body temperature was so low because they are undead. Your friend probably shot it by mistake before he realized oh my God stop there is a person out here which is why he or she decided to scare and follow you all on your way out to make sure none of you came back. I don't think you have to worry though as long as you and your friends don't ever go back in that area chances are he or she heard everything you and your friends said and realized it was an honest hunting accident on all of your part which is why they decided to not kill and drink you and all your friends dry that night. In my experience based on how much I have studied the occult and many supernatural things that all my friends laugh at and just pass me off as a crazy conspiracy nut job for vampires especially modern day vampires as their isn't many of them left due to a combination of the earths early extention level events and the overzealous hatred and bigotry of the Christian community throughout the centuries just like everyone and everything else they have murdered simply because they feared and hated what they didn't and still don't to this day even try to understand with a compassionate open mind like they claim to and what was different from them like all humans do. Vampires at the end of the day no matter how they have changed are still people who are still just as complex if not more complex due to turning into a vampire as they always were some good and some evil with most "living" in the morally grey area as all need blood. Some choose to be vampires while most have "lived" for centuries with having been turned into vampires by force because of the evil ones leaving most of them as nothing more than victims of violet crime who are extremely traumatized from having been hunted down by angry mobs of people with pitchforks and torches, secret sexts of the Christian church, and sometimes their own friends and family who are still alive for centuries causing most traumatized vampires to just want to be left alone at this point in their long "lives" with what few of them that are left all around the world while occasionally taking blood from people just for them to eat and get by day to day or night to night without killing anybody or from blood banks and then silently retreating back to their homes either by themselves or with what little friends and vampiric family they have left in this world which again is most likely the case with the one your friend probably shot by mistake before he realized he or she was out there so in my professional openion I really don't think any of you have anything to worry about so long as none of you ever go back there hoped this helped you make more sense of things and sorry for all my spelling errors English is not my best subject.
As a born and PNW cascadian I absolutely LOVE THIS, I wish there was more this is so good. I spend a large amount of time in the cascades and the Olympics and people don’t get how actually insane it is up here. Like ligit don’t go near the fog, don’t go off trail, don’t follow any weird thing you see, don’t look out at the flood fields unless it’s in broad daylight, and if a native tells you something HEED IT
Re-listening... again. Wondered "if I made a pov playlist what would I make," first thought was "It's the end of the world, and nobody came to spend it with you" my second thought was "maybe therapy is a good idea" lmao
This is the best playlist ever. I get these moods sometimes where almost any music irritating and feels "unsafe", but I can't stay in silence or alone in those moments and I need music. With this playlist, I feel safe and not irritated. Feels like home. I'm grateful to have something like that. THANK YOU!!!
However in God's name you are ever able to feel comfort from this is out of my comprehension but I'm glad you feel it lol.. this playlist makes me feel like big foot is watching me through the trees and it makes me more alert 🥹
i've moved around tons in my childhood, but the place i loved living in the most was washington state. we lived there for three years, and i started elementary school there. the happiest times of my life were on that street i. central washington and everything even remotely related to the state is close and dear to my heart. i strive to tell a story that portrays just what it's like to live in the pnw. i think the only piece of media that really portrays the feeling and aesthetic perfectly is cartoon network's miniseries over the garden wall. (i highly recommend watching it, especially around fall/halloween. it's a wonderful show.) this playlist is an amazing culmination of the vibes of living in the pnw and it's the perfect playlist to write and draw to. thanks for this.
Fr, it's the first time we've had fog where we live & it's hung around all winter. Doing my afternoon walk through the woods got a whole lot more horrifying^^ P.S. Playlist is absolutely lovely btw.
I've been listening to this playlist for months. I hold it in high regard, it's one of the most beautiful things to cross my ears. It's honestly a comfort, opening up a video and hearing Lethal's chimes. I hope one day to live in the PNW, I know I romanticize it, but what's life without some rose tinted glasses?
I don't know why this playlist sounds so sensual and hot and ngl, it's a playlist that can for sure be a.......well, a turn on......... tf is wrong with me.
*you walk up to a nice looking lady in maybe her forty's running a small trinket shop, definitely taking the look of a local* "Ma'am, could you tell me the quickest path through the forest?" *you ask with a polite tone and a gentle smile to show that you're harmless* *she looks over to you with cold and wise green eyes, a flash of yellow streaking her pupils as she changes her gaze to you..* "of course... simply follow the stones, never stray from the path for you may never return to it... I tell you travelers this each time i see you, yet my warnings are never heeded... i hope you are different.. When you go through that forest, be ware..." "there will be something unholy lurking in that brush, their IS something watching, you aren't just seeing things, so don't you ever turn your back on that deer... or look away for even a second from that strange leaf blowing in the wind, don't you dare even think for a second you can run from those shadows..." "keep your eyes open and wary but don't make contact, and if you do... even if you hide or run it'll eventually find you.. so you better pray to every god in the sky and every holy being you can think of that if you praise and bow to that.. THING.. that it'll let you go.." *you stare at her dumbfounded, feeling uneasy and fearful of what you could possibly find in those woods..* "oh.. uhm... thank you ma'am... i uh-.. i think i'll postpone my hiking trip for today.." *You mutter awkwardly, deciding it'd be best to just head back to your inn*
😄i love this playlist, but as a gothic music fan i have to say this isnt all goth music. most songs in this arent goth (she wants revenge and ethel cain are goth, but emily jeffri and bjork are not goth), you could rather call it 'goth vibes or a goth/criptid core playlist' . still great playlist

When’s it gonna be dropppn????
this is fuckin tough #2024Letsgo
WHATS IT CALLED OMG
I read that as "Don't go near the frog", and it made me think of scenarios where a frog wasn't actually a frog, it just temporarily looked like one to lure your ADHD ass closer
I mean
The PNW does have one of the few frogs with a penis
me when the frog on a lily I tried to catch was actually the lure of a giant amphibious angler fish:
:O
It's the not deer... But frog...😮

mightve been death itself friend, with how it was killing grass in its wake. better to not go back there ever again

i'm australian but the regional gothic playlists are HITTING
(i live in the dreariest, coldest and raniest city in the country)
same!!!
@@crackedoutjindosh8078 Me three
Yay! In Washington, been watching the fog literally all day, I was so excited to see you were doing one for us
This is the best playlist ever.
I get these moods sometimes where almost any music irritating and feels "unsafe", but I can't stay in silence or alone in those moments and I need music. With this playlist, I feel safe and not irritated. Feels like home.

@@ilikesniffingpaper Haha! I think he'd enjoy the vibes of the music 🤭
This reminds me so much of that X file’s episode where the kids got kidnapped by aliens. In Portland, which I guess makes sense.
As someone from the PNW, you perfectly fit the vibe! This playlist is immaculate!
bjork song the world is healing
I KEEP GETTING STUFF LIKE THIS AND ITS GETTING SPOOKIER
yippee ^^
This was a banger playlist
I LIVE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, I LOVE YOU FOR THIS 🙏🙏🙏
OH MY GOD CLOUDEATER??? NOBODY ELSE KNOWS THIS BAND UGHH you have my deepest respect my friend
This not just gothic playlist I think, but cryptidcore too.
I miss the Pacific Northwest. East Coast for now, but maybe one day when I can afford BC again.
This playlist is perfect for driving down a highway with a view of water or dense dark looking trees
when Hollow played I was like YOOOOOOOO because there was a Warrior Cat PMV using that song I used to watch when I was younger >_< nostalgia
FUCK YESSS PACIFIC NORTHWEST SWEEP!! i love the vibe of these songs
Lethal by Cloudeater had my heart pounding 🖤 surreal and hit home super hard

as an oregonian forest dweller (/gen) the fog is the most calming thing to me lmfao
Fr, it's the first time we've had fog where we live & it's hung around all winter. Doing my afternoon walk through the woods got a whole lot more horrifying^^
P.S. Playlist is absolutely lovely btw.
i love these regional american gothic playlists, it would be so cool if you could do a west coast one
This channel was such a serendipidous find. When i yearn for a certain dark, gothic aesthetic, it appears a few days later in my reccomended.
Hoping for a northeast/ new England playlist next, I’m writing a mystery book set in Massachusetts and it would be perfect for the atmosphere:D
Van isle had tons of fog today, then this shows up tonight, good timing and the right vibes
17:37 eobard thawne gets up from the wheelchair
For real tho

Go near the fog, it’s pretty… and ignore any nightmarish screams or howls you may hear.
Reminds me of the tv show The Secret Circle. Great work as always.
I live in the pacific northwest and this is perfect for the foggy forests up here
Begging for more of this vibe
I'm writing a book based off of a constant fog that terrorizes a small town. Thanks for the inspiration.
Gonna listen to this while exploring the woods by my apartment
This Playlist feels like Twilight 🖤
I'm a PNW ghoul and this speaks directly to my soul 🖤
i decided to comeback to this one and i just read the tittle as "don't go near the frog" and i was like "why? 😰"
yall no don't worry the fog isn't as bad as it seems i promise O^O
i can’t tell if the fog is moving or if i’m insane 😭😭
I don't know why this playlist sounds so sensual and hot and ngl, it's a playlist that can for sure be a.......well, a turn on......... tf is wrong with me.
