encounters ever caught on camera these stories will have you thinking twice before ever setting foot in the woods alone again let's jump straight into the first unsettling encounter but before we

the Creator shares their journey of building and maintaining a life away from Modern conveniences highlighting tasks like farming growing food raising animals and living sustainably it is November 6th 2022 and the the campers are deep in a remote Forest fully immersed in nature they've set up a trail camera to capture the wildlife around their Camp hoping to document animals moving through the area at night however what they ended up recording was far more unsettling a man moving strangely and unnervingly was caught on camera near their Campsite in the dead of night his presence in such an isolated spot raises many questions [Music] so far the footage doesn't show anything unusual but we can hear the crunching of leaves as footsteps echo through the darkness there's also a faint unsettling grunting noise at this point it's unclear what's making the sound but what the camera captures next is far more disturbing [Music] that was just the first encounter caught on the trail cam but the truly terrifying One Is Yet To Come the first set of noises could have easily been an animal or something mundane but what's about to be revealed is something far more horrifying for [Music] [Music] [Music] what exactly did the trail cam capture it's difficult to make out the figure but it's undeniably disturbing the movements are unnatural almost inhuman making it hard to tell whether it was a paranormal entity or a person lurking in the woods for unknown reasons whatever the case one thing is certain no one wants to encounter something like this while camping in the middle of nowhere what do you think was caught on camera was it a ghost a trespasser or something even more sinister let us know your thoughts in the comments below quick question would you ever Camp alone in the woods not knowing who or what might be out there with you or do you prefer to stay warm and cozy in your own bed watching others Brave the unknown from the safety of your screen the next horrifying video comes from Indie van Jones van life UK a YouTube channel f focused on the van life lifestyle in the UK the channel follows the Journey of an individual Exploring Life on the road living in a van and traveling to various Scenic locations across the country it is October 19th 2022 and in this video Jones experiences a creepy and unsettling night while parked in a remote location after a power cut leaves him in total darkness he hears strange noises outside his van at first he believes someone is trying to break in and as the paranoia sets in he listens closely to the sounds of footsteps and movement outside I've just pulled up and I've got a light on this that's why you can see me it's a red light but it's a power cut just H it's pitch black you've got camper van down there but it's absolutely pitch black there's the van I've got the lights on there but it's quite Eerie actually there's my little Paradise for tonight I'm all blocked off at the front there I kind have too much light on because I don't want people to see outside full double bed that I'm sat on here uh there's the back doors I got my shelf there I've got my drone on charge so that's why that's there and uh I'll see you Richard Parks his van for the night looking forward to some well-deserved rest he settles in getting cozy in the back of his van hoping for a peaceful night's sleep morning good night I think they're trying the doors I don't know why I'm telling you to just try locking it again and that's I can hear the van going yeah all right I think they're gone I think they're gone let's let's go and have a look so there's all that just got the head torch on still up power yeah look look see look see nobody is around close that up all right I want to get back into bed I don't want anybody to know I'm here that was scary that was a bit spooky the first time that's ever happened to me someone actually tried to steal fuel out the van while I was inside it right but I'm all locked up I'm not moving I I struggled trying to find a spot I'm not moving just yet now I'm going to see if I can get back to sleep while trying to sleep Richard is abruptly awoken by the sound of someone trying to open his van door heart pounding he sits there on edge wondering why anyone would be near his van in such a remote location he quickly relocks the van hoping the loud blinking of the indicators and the locking mechanism will deter whoever is outside when he eventually builds up the courage to check he finds no one but notices that his petrol cap has been opened it appears that whoever was out there was attempting to siphon fuel now shaken and uneasy he tries to calm himself and return to sleep and l i poking there again it's a Friday night I've had some time to think took me about half an hour to find another spot and I've basically just come up the a47 and found a layby and I've dumped it in that I'm by a road but I don't care it's getting on now I might try for a couple of hours sleep before I actually have to wake up but it's a Friday night at least we know fuel thefts and Van breakings this does look like a van it's not doesn't look like a camper van that's possibly where I made the mistake lesson learn my next camper van is actually going to look like a camper van I might just chop a window into the side of this just to make it look like a camper van but I'm going to attempt to sleep worst case scenario I've got a walking pole down there I can do absolutely nothing with it good night car once again he is startled awake this time to the sound of someone trying to break into his van at around 4 a. m. at this point he decides enough is enough without hesitation he starts the engine and quickly moves to a different location desperate to find a safer place to park he later reasons that his van may have been targeted because it looks like a work van potentially attracting thieves looking for tools to steal luckily Richard made it out safe and unharmed but this experience serves as a terrifying reminder of the risks of Van life especially when parking in isolated areas what would you have done in this situation have you ever camped in a van and experienced

alone in a remote forest with M simply enjoying the quiet of nature as he sets up camp builds a fire and relaxes the peaceful atmosphere soon turns unsettling he begins hearing Eerie unexplained growls and strange noises echoing from the dark woods around him what makes it even more terrible Ying is that Ma usually a calm and confident dog starts acting strangely pacing whining and staring into the darkness as if sensing something lurking nearby despite his experience as an Outdoorsman Noah can't shake the overwhelming feeling that something is off the isolation of the deep forest only adds to the tension creepy Outdoors here here by myself camping as usual and I'm a little uh shook up right now cuz I I heard some strange sounds stay here my stay here me stay here it sounded like uh some sort of growling I'm not sure I was I was in recording in I was just enjoying my night and uh hello sh it's okay I'm just talking to my dog right now what the M stay here Noah starts filming as the unsettling sounds grow louder you can hear the fear in his voice as he listens carefully trying to pinpoint the source of the noises he tells M to stay put then calls out hello but his question is met with nothing but silence instead of a response a sudden loud banging sound Echoes through the forest making his heart race even more stay come come come come stay stay stay good boy good boy stay sit sit sit down hello what the [ __ ] what the come there's been a lot of dead trees around maybe uh maybe it's ma oh no come on Ma oh no ma come back this dog is come here what are you doing stay

the tree line Noah desperately tries to keep ma close calling out to her repeatedly the fear in his voice is evident as the UNS ettling realization sets in he is not alone in these Woods I have no

what the hell that was if I hear anything more I'll keep you guys posted fortunately Noah and M remain safe and unharmed throughout the night but the terrifying question remains what was out there with them the disturbing sounds the dog's unusual behavior and the ominous atmosphere all suggest that something or someone was watching them from the darkness what do you think it was a wild animal a person hiding in the woods or something even more unexplainable let us know your thoughts in the comments below and what you would have done in this situation there are countless things in this world that we don't fully understand and sometimes the true dangers lie in the Unseen things That Go Bump in the night or whisper from the Shadows the next video comes from one of our all-time favorites Uncharted travel a YouTube channel that focuses on adventurous travel and exploration the channel takes viewers to remote and off the beaten path destinations showcasing abandoned places ghost towns and historical sites often emphasizing the spooky or Eerie aspects of these locations it is is October 31st 2019 and Brennan is exploring Camp bison prison an abandoned medium security facility that was shut down in 1975 the prison is located in an extremely isolated area making it the perfect setting for an eerie solo overnight stay as Darkness Falls Brennan sets up camp inside the prison expecting a night filled with exploration however things quickly take a terrifying turn strange noises like footsteps and scraping begin echoing through the empty hallways making it feel like he isn't alone there's something at the end of the hallway that keeps making noise oh boy swear it came from this room at the end maybe it's just my imagination Oh what a beautiful sight to behold my crappy tent I can't wait to just put on some dry socks and go to bed it's been a long day in my town returning to his campsite for the night Brennan suddenly hears loud noises coming from the end of the hallway with his flashlight in hand he bravely goes to investigate but when he gets there nothing the prison is completely empty shaking off the unsettling experience he heads back to his tent looking forward to some well-deserved rest unfortunately peace won't be something he gets tonight keep hearing I keep hearing something outside sounds like it's in the corridor one of the corridors maybe an animal I don't know of course now it's did you hear that I hope I hope the mic picked that up okay let me get my shoes on we're checking this out had Fox earlier so he was one of his buddies it sounded literally just out in this hallway okay the thing is there's so many different sounds that come from these hallways you can't tell what's what I guess it was just nothing just as he starting to settle in the loud bangs return this time even louder once again Brennan steps out to investigate searching the abandoned halls for any sign of movement yet just like before there's no one there what could possibly be causing these unexplained noises all right guys I'm I'm finally going to head to bed it's about 1:30 in the morning and uh it's gotten down to about zero degrees so it's rather chilly but luckily the sleeping bag is actually pretty good so I'm fairly warm and hopefully I'll see you in the morning this place makes so much noise like when you can't discern raindrops from wind from an animals from scratches from whatever it messes with your mind man it's so hard to sleep here I'm going to try it's really late and I'm really tired holy there's a coyote outside right outside my tent hey buddy you want to leave me alone it's with his nerves already on edge Brennan suddenly hears rustling sounds and movement around his tent then a chilling noise a howl Echoes through the prison grounds he calls out leave me alone but instead of Silence more howls respond growing in Number the realization hits him a pack of coyotes is surrounding the area a long night I just want to go to sleep go away go [Music] away there's something growling at me look go my bees get my knife please don't be up here I'm guessing it's on the lower level on the second floor beneath me oh my God there's a pack of coyotes out in the woods over there let's just hope to God they don't come up here I'm sorry just enjoying a quick breakfast [Applause] so we made it through the night in case any of you are wondering yes the night sucked um essentially what happened is it dropped below freezing everything is covered in a layer of ice it was really hard for me to keep warm thank God I had a pair of Hot Pockets that I forgot about this place during the day no problem piece of cake from DUS till dawn it's on a whole another level man as soon as I tried going to bed I heard like it sounded like human footsteps like just like scraping across the floor but it turned out to be uh just a pack of cootes so that was pretty uh pretty sweet they were like stalking me and then after a little while I heard them cackling and then I realized it was uh was some sounded like a jackal or coyote I'll just use coyote for ease of term but but um yeah they started circling and I I was in the tent in the cafeteria and they started circling the tent and they just kept circling and they kept getting closer and closer so then I was like all right I've had enough of this so I grabbed my knife and I B barged out the front door and I kind of like fended them off I started yelling at them and scared them away and then 5 minutes later they were circling again circling around the tent so then I scared them off again and every time this happened like maybe one or two more times and every time they'd come back they'd get more and more bold and they get more and more close which I definitely did not like being alone it just added like a whole another level of fear for it for me unfortunately I didn't get a lot of this on camera because I was just uh trying to stay safe at the time cuz this was like the first time I actually felt like I was in danger um and then as soon as they started rubbing up against my tent that's when I I called it so I scared them off one last time I packed up my things and I ran I ran um pretty much threw everything in like a bindle in the tent and then I ran up the stairs and uh lost the coyotes and uh thankfully made it up to the roof barricaded the the roof door so that they couldn't get up which luckily held them off for the whole night but then as soon as I got my camp set up here I heard them on the Second Story they were looking for me they were walking up and down the hallways trying to find me and I was trying to keep so quiet not to alert them or anything like that I was exhausted it was like 3:00 a.
m. at this point 4:00 a. m.
