I've never felt creeped out by hikes or camping trips abroad. But I often get creeped out in the US and Canada. And I think I had a legitimate encounter with a feral man in Tennessee. I guess part of it might be the vastness of the forests and the wilderness but even so when you get "that feeling" it feels deeper than that. |
|
|
|
I was camping in the Unaka mountain wilderness area and I had a feeling I was being watched. This was a single night hike and I was on the verge of turning around because I just started feeling sick. Not as in feeling ill but I sensed in my stomach something was wrong like I was being watched. When I went to sleep I was frozen with fear in my tent and I heard shuffling outside and just lay there sweating like crazy. I left a pool of sweat even though it wasn't hot out. When I woke up there were prints all around my tent - they weren't boot prints they were in the shape of a human but were flat like somebody was wearing moccasins or something. |
|
|
|
To this day I am convinced this was a feral person, which have been known to exist in Appalachia. |
|
|
|
Anybody else feel way more creeped out in North American forests than when they camp abroad? You'd think it would be the other way around due to familiarity. And have any Euros felt creeped out in North America? |

How is it mental illness. Feral people are documented and it's a first hand experience. Also, many more people go missing in the US Wilderness and many who are found have stories about feral people, or people who hide behind trees. Trust me it's real and I saw it myself. I always get the creeps worse than I had it before when camping now. |

I live in Appalachia and I have seen several things on my hikes that never made any sense. Shifting landscapes, light rods flying past during the day, laughter in the woods, silence so deep that you feel it. The woods of Appalachia are old and plenty of spooky ghosts. |

In Canada, yes. Mid and Southern US is fine. There is a difference between feeling creeped out because of a moose or bear nearby and feeling "creeped out" like in your story. |
|
|
|
The only thing that came close to my Canada experience in Europe was in the Finnish Lappland near the Russian border. This is no man's land, |
|
No trails, no humans, only swamps, hills, birch forests, moose and bear. I had not seen another person for five or six days. It was early in the morning already light out and I was sleeping with my head against the inner and outer tent fabric. Suddenly my dream starts to get lucid and I dream/hear someone chanting, repetitive like a shaman. Something is pressed against my neck and I wake up. I don't move. Chanting continues. Eventually he releases my neck from the outside and I hear him walk away. It felt like he marked or blessed me for something good and bad at the same time. I didn't lose the feeling for the rest of the trip even today maybe. |

Do you live somewhere with nonFeral People? I grew up in Siskiyou County California and now I live in the Mississippi Bayou and there were/are plenty of Feral People in both. No land taxes, no sales taxes, no income taxes, no healthcare taxes, no disability taxes, no social security taxes, just people living, and yes most of them wear moccasins. If a Feral Person isn’t wearing moccasins they’re probably a murderer and will make you a part of an urban legend to steal your boots. |

Oh grow the fuck up already. There's no such thing as feral people. And all the stories have been greatly exaggerated by the shock media. The disappearances in USA wilderness is entirely due to it's vastness compared to Europe. If feral people existed there would be better evidence. And just because some hick police think it's true isn't evidence. Quit spreading this utterly ridiculous BS. People will start to blame county commissioners who are innocent. |

No. As somebody who grew up around feral people you're being disrespectful. Feral people are people who live in the woods and are defensive of their territory. They usually can't speak well anymore. They're not fucking meth cooks how would they get their fix deep in the woods? What OP is exactly what you should do if you're being tracked. Don't panic, don't threaten them, don't act scared. Walk until you're out of your territory. They probably will take a look at your camp but it's rare they kill or kidnap anybody (but it can happen). |

PNW forests, especially old growth forests like the Hoh rain forest, are probably some of the comfiest, most serene, in touch with God and nature that you can be anon. The silence is deafening because you are in an area that (if hiking through national forest land) may not have had anyone in that spot for decades if not centuries. Absolute shame the states of Oregon and Washington, once the end of the Oregon trail where only the hardiest and most driven people flocked too are now liberal nanny states ruined by transexual communists who are not only the antithesis to nature, but actively despise it. |

My buddy and I were camping very remote, late winter PNW. He dreampt of hands pressing along the outer walls of tent, hands feeling his ears/shoulder. I woke to geurilla hooting to my right, then a deep gutteral voice rebuking the hooter just behind/above me. I too laid in shocked terror for about 2 hours until i couldnt handle it anymore, go out fighting. The two creatures thrashed outta there fast when i started yelling. Could be feral folk but I believe in bigfoot. 100%, though be he terrestial or visitor I dunno |

You will keep scrambling to find any excuse to avoid posting photo evidence that you go outside - because you don't have any. Because you don't actually go outside. |

And deep down, you know that I know, and you also know that the other anons that read this will also know you don't go outside. You'll feel embarrassed and you'll seethe repeatedly, still replying to this in a desperate bid to convince yourself that you didn't fail at something as basic as hiking.

How do you grow up around feral people? Aren't they incredibly rare, especially nowadays? |
|
--- 2554383 |
|
>>2554369 |
|
If you grow up in certain bumfuck hick areas of the US you might run into them. You probably won't run into them in your town unless they are really fucked for food (which is rare because they are masters of living outdoors). But if you hunting and do multi-day treks and things like this you might come across them. I grew up in deep mountain country and it was known there were feral in the woods. My dad was never afraid of them and we were tracked multiple times during our camping and hunting trips. My dad would leave out supplies for them like matches. But they almost never took it - it's more to show good will. You have to remember, feral people weren't born feral. They are loner hermits who go to the woods usually after turning 18 or after some catastrophic life event. They feel pride on doing things without help so they probably won't take your "gift" you leave out. But it's a good way to say "I know you're here, I"m not messing with you, I come in peace." Because they have been living tax free and off the gov's radar, often breaking fish and wildlife regulations they're very paranoid of people. |
|
--- 2554384 |
|
>>2554383 |
|
But also I don't want to paint a rosy picture. Not all ferals are harmless hermits. A lot of disappearances in Appalachia are due to feral humans, especially girls. |

Why are retards in this thread acting like just because something is comfy doesn't mean it can't be creepy? A lot of the comfiest places are filled with the most bizarre disappearances. Nobody said it's not comfy or beautiful or fun, if it wasn't I'm sure OP wouldn't be hiking despite his scary experience with a feral human. |
|

Because being creeped out is synonymous with being uncomfortable you obnoxious troon |
|
--- 2554396 |

Wrong. I've been in comfy areas and heard strange things and still enjoy my time. Being scared of a feral person or a strange occurrence doesn't preclude you from enjoying the nature itself. The adrenaline can even add to the experience. |

You guys, once again, are misinterpreting it. The look of the forest is not the creepy party. It's what HAPPENS in the forest. It's not the trees that are scary. It's the feral people and disappearances, the screams, the shadow people etc. I've never seen this in Europe. And in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. even Maine I've never felt creeped out. This is mostly about deep Appalachia and what goes on there. |

Typical crystal-gazing, navel-gazing, self-obsessed New Age bullshit. My Mom was into that crap for decades until she got the menopause and realized no amount of meditation, aura massages, yoga, and incense would restore her youth, grant her immortality, or fetch her a new man post-divorce and post-eggs. She's really weaned herself off that claptrap in recent years. It's all quite ironic, because New Age shit heavily apes Buddhism (superficially, that is), and Buddhism is about NOT gazing at your navel and NOT becoming attached to physicality. Women are of course unable to understand this as a whole gender. |
|
|
|
Anyway, the Earth doesn't care about you at all. There is no aura or vibe; it's all in your head. The Earth didn't care about the Permian extinction, it didn't care about the Cretaceous extinction, it didn't care when homo sapiens out-competed the Neanderthals, it didn't care when Native Americans genocided each other, it didn't care when white men genocided the Native Americans, and it doesn't care about the Holocene extinction (i.e., what we 8 billion human cockroaches are doing to flora and fauna right now). |
|
|
|
In 50 million years, we and almost every trace of our civilization will be gone, there'll be whole new continental configurations, new species of flora and fauna, and the Earth still won't care. Pure egotism to think that nature gives a damn about you one way or the other. |

There's stories around where I live, northern Rocky mountains, about a guy who does this shit. Basically, when a person is camping alone, or just 2 people, and they're drinking and such, and not if they have dogs, he finds a chance to sneak up and put something in the bottle that makes them pass out. |
|
|
|
I've never heard any stories about him raping them or anything, he just takes pictures of them asleep with their phones, steals some cash and food, and leaves them alone besides that. |

I used to think this was just a local legend, because the stories were always like "my friend's cousin's boyfriend" and shit like that, but then it happened to a friend of mine and I saw the pictures myself. |

As the old adage goes, civilization is only nine (or seven, or three) missed meals away from anarchy. When people get hungry, and especially when their children get hungry, then they'll be ready to burn down the palatial estates of the elite. |
|
|
|
Of course, these days, it's often too late by the time things get that far, because we're better at providing cattle feed to the poor than in ancient times; and of course we have globalism and planes now, so the elite will simply flee like the parasitic cowards they really are. The only consolation is that they'll spend the rest of their lives as strangers in a strange land always looking over their shoulders, because the world will quickly forget them, but their people will not and those people will be out for revenge (if they can get it). |

I live in southern Appalachia and I think these fruits are coming down here from NOVA to "experience a wild and spiritual journey of personal growth," but then they lie down on their $600 worth of doubled-up self-inflating mattresses and let Deliverance, a few specific X-Files episodes, and Sasquatch and ghost hunter shlock TV shows run their imaginations wild. |

I've spent a lot of time in forests in many different parts of the US and Canada. Appalachia easily the creepiest, but I'd put the dense damp literal rainforests of the PNW as second. I've had encounters with "hill folk" in the Cascades that would rival any WV holler or Ozark backwoods, people that look very clearly "devolved." A far lesser known creepy woods spot is the Uinta Range in NE Utah, this is not far from the Skinwalker Ranch and I've never had such a strong feeling that I was being watched. |

|
Most sounds are explainable. Sometimes the woods fucks with the noise of a trickling stream to make it sound like someone, eternally out of line of sight, is talking. Animal calls are warped in unusual ways to sound like vehicles, and sometimes that twig that snapped just decided to do so on its own. That silence though... I've never found an explanation for those moments when you feel like screaming wont make a sound. |

Could you tell more about feral people? I've passed through Weed before. That whole area is wilderness. Didn't run into any feral people though. Why would you leave? It's so damn pretty out there.

What are you talking about? They have some seriously strict laws to protect the wilderness. They segregate the shit you're taking about. Why are you in the cities with the homeless? Why are people so ignorant of the PNW? How many retards can there be on this website? Is it sour grapes because you think you can't afford to live there? There's plenty of small mountain towns you could move to. Your neighbors will all be white, and addicted to meth. The homeless are white too. It's a white haven! |

Idk I live in Michigan. Parents have 40 acres of land, never once camped in it because it gives myself and others the heebie jeebies at night. During the day all is well. Dad allegedly saw people in 1800's clothing one time walking down to the barn, handful of times of sounding like I was being stalked by something, yet nothing visible, in the 90's myself and some halloween gatherers at neighbors saw the obligatory Black Triangle. Maybe a freak space time warp there. |

There is nothing spooky in the woods. Animals are terrified or curious of you, and the people are friendly. Abandon the trail anon, go bushwhacking. Venture further and experience places most people dont even know exist. Don't be afraid of some trees, anon, its not like you work in the logging industry or something.

Kind of reminds me of the conservation areas surrounding Toronto in the so called greenbelt. They logged the shit out of Southern Ontario decades ago, and re-planted the forests with fast growing pines, cedars and maples all in big rows with very little diversity. Many of the trails now tend to feel pretty sterile and monotonous as a result, very far away from nature. Although it's still a breath of fresh air (literally) getting out of the city when you don't have time for a longer trip. |

The Uinta Mountains are a magical place. One of the few mountain ranges in North America to run East to West. Lots of memories solo hunting and backpacking deep in the numerous basins it has to offer, and climbing the high ridges into some deadfall hell holes I should've never been in. Creepiest places I've experienced have been on the North Slope in those high open meadows and some of the lakes. Had some really strange feelings when I camped alone at one of the lakes one night. Felt a wash of relief once morning came and I hiked out. Other than that I've never really experienced anything out of sorts either on the North or South Slope. |

I road my bike down a forest service trail for about 5 miles then just decided to park my bike and just start walking in the woods. I got about 2 miles in when I came across a straight opening that just seemed out of place, it's just in the middle of the pic, so I followed it. It was a lot easier to walk on and I just hiked around the water. The whole time it felt creepy. |

Then I came across an old submerged bridge. I noticed super old stumps with no tree next to them so I'm guessing they just made the bridge as they went along. I go off trail all the time and am never creeped out, I hunt, so I just left. Supposedly there was a paper mill and somehow, from what I was told, the sawdust exploded in a building. They weren't sure but said up to 50 people died, this was early 1900's. Forests can be creepy as fuck sometimes. |

I lived in Oregon and Washington for about 7 years total retard, from Springfield and Lane County to Portland to Seattle and out near the OP for a bit. Have you driven out east from Seattle towards the pass? Cutting down the woods to build shitty, ugly condos. With more treats getting cut down the water ways get blown out. Combined with littering and more trash, this has been brutal for steelhead breeding and their grounds. |
|
Aside from that, both Oregon and Seattle control the politics of the state and if you can't see how detrimental that has been not only to the environment but personal freedoms over the last 20ish years, you are also retarded and gay. The OP, national parks/forests, and other vast swaths of Oregon and Washington are still mostly undestroyed, true, but that is only because the consuming plague that are the residents of Seattle and Portland haven't been forced out of their pods yet to move farther out. |

Also, add in that how many of these "people" who live in these states and vote their way actually care about the environment? Not only do these obese, transexual slobs stay in their le 15 minute cities, the amount of strain they put and destruction on the environment is insane |
|
>buying brand new plywood overpriced condos that had the woods cut down to live in |
|
>new EV that not only is immensely harmful to create, but also puts huge strain on electrical grid |
|
>food delivery services, buy everything from Amazon/Whole Foods, work do nothing tech jobs, etc. |
|
But it is ok cause even though they are doing the equivalent of lighting tires on fire, they buy le carbon offsets so it works out! These people destroy the environment, they only care about it so they can virtue signal about how much they care and so they can go to local trailheads for grinder photos. |

¥urop's witch and werewolf hunting was an urban affair. And yes like all spoops it's based in superstition or dogma, but frankly it doesn't compare to the endless and untrustworthy wild of the New World. those fuckers who boated across to Virginia and New England, literally IN the age of enlightenment, and found nothing but the tortures of the elements, wily natives, and endless continent before them, those people can be forgiven for truly fearing the woods and wondering where and how the Devil will encroach on them there. |

in my own town in MA there's a spat of land known as the cedar meadow, aka "the witch woods". all the farms from the 1600s end at the cedar meadow, they never went into it. today all the old stone walls run blindly through the forest but they all border at the cedar meadow because people were afraid to go into that land and clear it, and so it has never been cleared. I personally have trekked through and it's the only place I feel truly vulnerable; you can't stand up straight and you can't see what's in front of you or behind you. just dense fucking cedar branches with barely any room to breathe. FUCK the witch woods |
|

pickeral, google map in spring shows how this played out. if you look closely you can see the stone walls skirting the cedar meadow. and also be mindful that this shit isn't nearly as intimidating via satellite, you kinda have to be there |

Same. Born and raised in the mountains, and for all the social media posing I've seen from mostly fat people, I've never once seen anything paranormal. And I always wanted to. |
|
Closest to paranormal I ever really felt was going into the entrances of some old caves with just my dog, and you look in, and your brain tells you that there is someone there watching you. You can see shadows move, and you walk in some and it retreats back into the cave. |

As an adult, I learned about how the brain works and finds faces in things. As a kid though, I was positive that there was some underground people lurking in them. |

I know it's going to sound silly considering how considerably less wild those places are but I feel something similar toward the forests of center France. They have a foreboding and heavy air to it I never really felt in mountain forests for example.

There's a ton of stuff, from finding weird witchcraft rituals in the forest, to seeing the aftermath of illegal miners and loggers killing natives and vice versa, most regions are very dangerous, but the North/Northeast takes the cake because there's no law since is so vast and nobody gives a fuck anyway. But here's a story about some ritual I witnessed in the middle of the forest |
|
>went to Rio de janeiro because European tourist |
|
>mom has some friends there |
|
>went to the waterfalls because beaches are always packed in the summer |
|
>enjoying still somewhat preserved forest and some cool waterfalls |
|
>water is cold as fuck because mountains |
|
>see some movement up ahead |
|
>there's like 30 people in a shallow natural pool |
|
>live chickens, lots of food and some weird songs |
|
>"what the fuck is all this?" |
|
>friend explain to me it's some African religion ritual and they do this to celebrate some African gods or whatever |
|
>"shouldn't we gtfo outta here before they use us as sacrifice" |
|
>"no need, they're cool and you can watch no problem, just don't say anything" |
|
>people all dressed in white |
|
>they start dancing, getting in a sort of trance state and acting like their entities or whatever |
|
>some old dude start slicing chicken necks left and right |
|
>blood fucking everywhere in the water |
|
>music gets louder |
|
>talking gets louder |
|
>the dance becomes weirder |
|
>they start smoking and drinking in the middle of the blood water |
|
>after some time everything was calm again |
|
>people bathing in the now clear water |
|
>some lightskin hotties started talking to me |
|
>my portuguese is non-existent and i was kinda scares some of them were gonna slice my throat |
|
>went home thinking wtf was that |
|
>apparently it's a normal thing in a religion called candomble |
|
>went home smelling like wet chicken |
|
>all this in a wendsday |
|
There's stuff like this all over the country, and it's not even the worse I saw |

I do this but to Odin and I have this weird tick where I have to "knock on wood" but 3 times and then sometimes knock 3 times, 3 times to Odin. I actually can't stop and sometimes I have to "knock on wood" to unhex my knock on wood so I end up knocking 9 times 3 times.. etc.. usually when I'm doing something like driving and I start freaking out frustrated |

Odin is a tranny and was mostly followed by fringe cultists who sacrificed babies. You're actually opening up yourself to even more negative energy than otherwise just being an atheist by praying to it while attracting the rest of the patheon who hated Odin if not Odin himself who would get a kick out of tormenting a random tard who thinks he's obligated to his protection. |

Every year I feel less human. |
|
I love nature and my garden. I want to be outside and watch butterflies and birds. I want to go fishing and hiking. |
|
Every time I observe humans I understand them less. Everything that people seem to find valuable is pointless. The majority of human effort is spent on degeneracy. Everyone lies all the time. Slowly I’m growing to hate humans. |

|
|
I’m 34 and humans become more annoying every year. |

Seems like the more sound choice, there's a bunch of traditions associated with Thor and loyalty/honor. Thor atleast wouldn't want to fuck with you for shits and giggles compared to Odin |

Portland and Seattle have had that reputation since the hippies moved there in the 60s, it was a completely natural progression and anyone that is surprised at how those cities turned out is a stupid person. |

Anon what you described is a Santeria ritual, you know the fun summer song by Sublime? Its named after the religion. It’s a religion that comes out of West Africa from the slaves and is practiced all over the Americas. They wear all white as a purity thing. It’s a fascinating religion you should’ve taken time to learn a new culture instead of getting creeped out. I thought Euros were supposed to be open minded? |

If by this you mean superstitious people performed rituals to turn themselves in werewolves using witchcraft and were killed because it didn't fit the dogma of the Church then you're right. |
|
|
|
>those people can be forgiven for truly fearing the woods and wondering where and how the Devil will encroach on them there |
|
Yes, forgive them for hurting your personal materialistic dogma by trying to survive known threats like savages. They were just silly gooses, they didn't know they could have been making toilet paper and science textbooks from the trees they relied on for food, protection, housing, tools, medicine, and spiritual guidance. Forgive the hunter-gatherer societies that survived to the modern day by this method but had to watch their neighbors become decimated by war, disease, and slavery at the hands of the wonderful science gurus who put microplastics in our food, chemicals in the air, petroleum and mountains of waste in the oceans, and mutilate children to keep them from commiting suicide. Truly, we have become gods thanks to science. |

I know many of you are going to think I am just fucking around, but I've confirmed/seen at least three naked kids on trails around gatlinburg/Maggie valley/smoky mountains np. Random yelling and laughing as well. I even thought I saw a preteen girl nude bathing in a pond when I was on a hike at least 12 miles from clingmans dome off the mountain and I distinctly remember going in my pack to get my Sony Cybershot (it was the early 2000s) and when I went to take a picture, she was gone. |

thanks anon, twas a very nice place to grow up †bh. it's still my dad's pride. back in 1978 he ordered the house from a catalogue and sure as shit the company showed up with trucks over several weeks dropping off piles of logs, lumber, and building materials in heaps on the plot. my dad hired a guy to dig the foundation, and company came and poured the concrete, and once that set he hired two random duded and a small crane and over the next 11 months the three of them followed the instructions and built the goddamn house together. it was leaky and drafty for years until every detail was finished, but my parents were legit able to live in the house that first winter even before it was done. |
|
|
|
back in 1978 the entire operation cost $30k. the furnace alone was $10k and to this day it's the best part. it's big enough where you could walk into it if you wanted and we burn oil, wood, or coal and it's always cozy af because we harvest wood all year an have cords and cords drying for years at a time |

Yeah, my home was built in 79 and also had a wood, coal, propane burning furnace. It was a relic of the jimmy carter fuel shortage and people scared about what and how they were going to heat their homes with. I replaced the huge furnace about 8 years ago. Got a heat pump/propane combo. Very efficient. I got a new wood stove near the basement that is a very efficient non-catalytic but haven't had a need to use it yet. |
|

Neat hearing another person talk about a home like mine. |

Anon, it's 2023. Just because I am a MAP doesn't mean people should disregard what I damned well saw. |
|
|
|
I DO know that kids still play in the forest like I did growing up and I DO know that I was only a few miles from the NP border and sound travels, I never got naked as a kid and ran around in the woods but maybe that is a thing in Appalachia. I don't believe in ghosts and I am NOT a drug user. |

kek for the first 10 or so years of my life our floors were cheap shitty plywood, with cracks and holes where you could see through to the basement. as kids we just accepted it but it was fucking scary and I used to get wood splinters in my feet so bad my parents would have to hold me down to cut them out of my feet. The whole time my dad used bitch about Carter. "well thanks to Carter, wood shortages were so bad we couldn't even afford American plywood, these floors are garbage plywood from Romania" he used to say. |
|
|
|
Thanks so much for sharing anon, it's nice to hear your take. I wish I had a photo of the furnace. It's been serviced often but still is going great. I love the deep cold days of winter where my dad would shut the oil off and just toss logs in. The house is never more comfy and the wonderful smell. Dang. |

I guess we are probably near the same age but my father died a year ago. |

You can see how the previous unit was about three times as large. Was very useful in its day but heat pumps/ac is just so much more efficient now. Was a game changer. |
|
--- 2567565 |
|
>>2567560 |
|
Yeah we must be. An upgrade is always worth it, especially when it comes to cost and efficiency. I live in a different country now but for the time being my parents are staying put in the house, and there's no chance my dad cares about doing any upgrades. I wish I had the cash to buy them out and keep that house as my New England getaway, but I definitely can't. |
|

Sorry to hear about your dad anon, only a year ago and that must be tough. I can't even imagine that. |

Weirdest thing I’ve heard was a mountain lion screech at night when I was in the woods with friends. It wouldn’t be odd if I wasn’t in NY, where mountain lions are said to be extinct. |

I live in the lad of King Philip's War and the amount of death, terror, and utter atrocity perpetrated by the unjuns and the colonists is hair raising. small villages way out alone in the New England wilderness getting torched in the night with everyone burning to death in their homes. the injuns would cut one leg off all the livestocck and set them to roam the forest, they would tear the clothing off the colonists, men women and children, and butcher them like pigs in the mud. they would cut their fingers off and scatter them along the roads amongst bloody bible pages as a warning to any colonists approaching. they would cut the hands and feet off anyone caught on the road days away from the nearest town, leaving them to squirm around in the mud until they died of exposure or were eaten by animals. |

20 or more towns were destroyed, 10% of the european population was killed, and the destruction got so close to Boston they considered building a stockade wall around the entire city with the intention of holding out just long enough to evacuate and abandon the colony altogether. when they finally organised and got the upper hand they destroyed the indians without mercy. they burned their children alive in the dead of winter and quite literally exacted genocide. King Philip's head sat on a pike in Boston for like 30 years until it disintegrated. you go off in the woods here and sit in the dirt and aside from the comforts of nature around you, it just feels very heavy sometimes. |
