what strange / spooky stuff have you seen?once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me downit was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it eithersounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!"a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!">inb4 go to /x/ for this shiti want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me
It had been raining for a couple days including that day and when we sat around the camp fire we heard sticks snapping all night. Then in our tent we heard the breathing. Then we saw the claws pushing into the tent. Then it started circling around our tent. At one point it started biting into our tent. There was a recent bear attack in that area of the mountains. I was just a child but I won't go /out/ without a high powered rifle
>>2802579I was walking alone through a somewhat isolated wooded area atop a fell that has bronze age and medieval ruins. Suddenly the wind picked up out of nowhere and there was a really, really loud howling noise that had a mechanical feel to it. I've heard nothing like it before or since and it made my blood run cold. I stayed calm as I was just passing through but I noped out of there pretty quickly.
My grandpa owned a few hundred acres in new england, and I would spend my entire summers as a teenager wandering through the forests there. One year when I was about 16, I decided to head up to the furthest northeast corner of the land where I'd never been, and on my third day out, I came across two rows of trees, almost like a n old road, so I followed them. In the wrong direction, they just ended at an old rock slide, so I turned around and went back in the other direction and eventually I found a big clearing with a huge willow, and next to it is an old chapel with a broken off steeple. I do what any 16 year old would do and immediately drop my gear and head inside.It's really boring, just a rotting empty room, but as soon as I stepped in I felt like I'd just snuck into my parents' room, it was really oppressing, and I kept like almost hearing footsteps next to me, so I just fucked out of there less than a minute later and started heading home.A few days later I convinced my grandpa to come with me to see it, and we eventually got to the old road and headed north back to the old chapel, but when we got there, the only thing in the clearing was the big willow, there was nothing else, no debris or anything like if it collapsed. All we could find was what could have been part of a foundation, but there was a ton of blackberry bushes, so we gave up pretty quick. I got yelled at for wasting grandpa's time.We found him in that clearing years later dead from a heart attack they said, just in his folding chair at his camp next to the big willow, facing the spot where the old foundation was.
>backpacking trip>3 days, roughly 35 mile loop, nothin crazy, pretty typical>second day>afternoon, sun still high up>around mile 20>step just off trail to pee>fairly sparse pine forest; not overgrown, rocket, or anything. Plenty of room all around.>dick out, peeing>feel like someone is being me>guy says “excuse me” as if he’s trying to walk past me>turn to tell whatever weirdo is trying to watch me pee to fuck off>all I say is “dude” as I look sideways and over my shoulder and realize there’s no one there (because of fucking course there isn’t, right?)>existential dread>hike the other 15 miles back to the car without really stopping>didnt bother to filter water, snacked while walking, no pics, no bullshitI heard it clear as day. This wasn’t some newb “scared of the woods” thing. It wasn’t the wind rubbing one tree against another or a bird rustling around in a bush. This was human speech. The scariest part was when the sun was getting low as I approached my car. It wasn’t the lack of sunlight that scared me, but the dread that something might happen with the car. It was my lifeline, but what if it didn’t start? What if it was stuck in the mud? What if I had flat? I had also never been so scared for so long. It was hours, and the entire time I felt like I was running from something. That was probably in my mind; I didn’t see anything chasing me. But it sure felt like it.
>>2802579Nothing. Because I actually go outside and don't spend all my time on /x/. >there will be screeching and seething at the uncomfortable reality of this
>>2802680whats even the point of your post?OP isn't even about the paranormal, it was a trick of the eye, so saying you ain't see shit "because you go outside", makes it sound like you really don'ti don't know if that was suppose to be a troll post or a gloat, but if its a gloat, you need learn how to be a better narcissist

>>2802679I had a similar experience with a common raven before. I looked around for a person and was getting freaked out when I heard it again coming from the bird. I then kept trying to bait it into talking again, but he wouldn't.
>>2802993>I then kept trying to bait it into talking again, but he wouldn't.i'm sorry, but thats sounds absolutely hilariousi imagine you just slowly chasing a raven, talking to it like its a baby, as it flies couple meters away every time you get a bit too close, all the while anyone who doesn't know what you're doing would think you're a madman
Once on a trail, I saw a black person.
>>2803639most horrible experience itt
>>2802579I came across a clearing in the middle of the night that had animals all in it.Deer, coyote, rabbits, an owl, even mice.Just all standing around.
I spend a lot of time out in the woods alone, often at night. At first it's spüpie but then you get used to it and take no mind.Sometimes though, I have these moments where the reality of my situation strikes me and I get horrified for a moment. It's times like that when I feel like something is with me, like something's lurking and because my mind is always buzzing I'm never taking notice of it. Sometimes those spontaneous terrors are too much for me to deal with and I just gtfo even if it's 2am or something

>>2802579No particular order: human traffickers, extremely aggressive moose, fresh abduction site where two teens were taken for presumably Molochite sacrifice, a bunch of city-slickers in my super-sekrit camping spot for an archery catalogue photo-shoot (fuckers), an erratically acting lone caribou that was not happy with us, the day where something followed us out of the mountains for about 150 miles (never saw it though, so doesn't really count), and once a set of record-breaking moose tracks followed by a set of record-breaking grizzly tracks followed by a set of record-breaking wolf tracks. That one was funny, I didn't follow them though.
>>2802589I went camping when i was like 12 with some friends in his backyardwe heard shit circling our tent, sniffing at itmustve been coyotes but we were scared i had to take a shit really bad but didnt want to go outsidei shit a little in my pants and then stuck my ass out the flap and shit outside the tentthen went to sleepin the morning whatever was circling the tent ate my shit

Came across this in SlovakiaNot deep in the woods but a few kms away from any village, in a valley surrounded by forest as I was on my way to a ruined castle Not a soul around, gloomy weather
>>2802579Nothing paranormal, but I’ve got two good stories I’ll start with story 1:>be me, 28M with one of my best friends 29M and his girl 26F>camp on that flat part to the left in pic>there’s an RV park about 2 miles away at the base where this photo was taken>came to this spot last minute because previous camping spot was literally being gate kept by some Filipino bitch who put a gate over a public road.>decide to come here to this backup spot since we spent 3 hours driving.>we get at lake at 4pm, hike two miles and camp off of a trail. >gather wood, cook dinner, break out a box of wine. All normal camping shit.>his gf goes to bed in tent, we stay up getting drunk and smoking cigs.>run out of fire wood oh well, we grab some wood keep an insanely small fire until it goes out.>still have liter of wine we figure we’ll kill it to make packing out easy. >hear leaves rustling and twigs snapping >turn our headlamps on and we see two weirdos in their early 20s. One of which is carrying a corgi over their shoulders in the pitch dark no light at 1am in the morning. >we look at them say hello and they kind of sheepishly go “oh.. hey…” and walk off all sketchy. Dog is silent as can be>they continue past our camp site and walk to the trail. We don’t see them again still have no idea wtf they were doing since the trail looped around and we didn’t see them again. Which is really strange. Didn’t realize how fucked up it was until the morning when we realized that they walked just straight into the woods with no light wearing regular street clothes. We assume they were walking to one of the cabins but the nearest one was like 2/3miles away and they would be walking on pretty rough terrain. Maybe they had a canoe or some shit but also weird because we would have saw them earlier in the day when we were set up.
Normal weekend overnight hike. As I rounded a ridge I noticed the forest get much lusher and darker than anywhere else I'd been so far in this park. Didn't pay it much mind, figured it was just some micro-climate and enjoyed the change of scenery. Then I felt the dread. Kept going, scanning for bears/cougars more intently as that's usually my subconscious alerting me to a real threat. In my extra scanning I noticed a path through the trees off the trail, didn't appear frequently trafficked as the duff was undisturbed, but the trees were missing enough for it to stick out. The dread I had been feeling entering this area had been replaced with alarms screaming in my head, but I had to see what was down there since I was planning on camping nearby. Graveyard.Not on the map.Paid my respects by reading all the graves that were legible and wishing them well. When I returned to the trail the forest seemed friendlier and I took that as my sign that I was in the clear. Researched it when I got home and it was a known graveyard, but just wasn't placed on the map for whatever reason. Wish I had known about it so I could just chock it up to paranoia, but I had no idea it was there, but I sure felt it.
was walking on a path at sunset through some woods, sat on a stone was what appeared to be a dude but the lower half of his left leg wasn't there, couldn't see him super clear but he looks up, I give a quick glance behind look back again and he just straight up wasn't there. Was weird, never hallucinated anything similar.
Excuse potato quality of photo story #2>camping with same friend minus his girl >hike up camels hump in VT in November stay at one of the many tent platforms near LT>start cooking meals super windy so very small fire >as we start settling down and having a beer notice three headlamps crossing ridge in picture >we turn on our lantern so we don’t freak them out>three small boys one visibly coughing and I’llThey don’t say a word..>dad comes up awhile later hauling a big ass Coleman tent and a 70L bag. Man was a champ>kids talking amongst themselves fucking around with sticks and stuff>talk to dad for a bit>set up tent, see and hear their butsne stove turn on on tent>was on for 6 minutes and then all lights went off. Weird enough out of 6 tent platforms they chose the one closest to us>next morning dads a bit more social and talks with us says he came from Massachusetts and was doing some hiking with the kids. Says he has a van that they travel in>asks us about a shelter/cabin on the long trial we tell him it’s snowed in more likely than not >mother fucker says he’s going up it with his kids; advise him not too since it’s probably locked>does it anyways oh well>walk back to parking lot see his “van” it’s a small suv packed to the brim with what looks like all their shit. Still convinced that dude murdererd his wife or took the kids and was hiding them. Middle of a school week too when he was up there with them.
cliche and maybe not very /out/ but my brother noticed consistent unexplainable lights in the sky so we all stayed up to watch them one time and wordlessly we would look at eachother as soon as we saw them happen, you hear the term "impossible motions" so often in UFO reports but when you actually see something move like that in the sky, you really understand the feeling of seeing something that appears physically impossible
Recently camped in nevada with my family. Millions of giant black crickets wandering around and we saw a giant white glowing object in the sky at dusk. Figured it was a weather baloon.Camping as a kid sometimes we would hear wolves outside the tent and the next morning there would be footprints everywhere and our food boxes dragged halfway down the beach. Same place someone had their face eaten the year before.
>>2802579Hiking with my dog in Sweden. Walking through a forest and all is well, we are upp on a low mountain among pines, moss and sparse vegetation and then the track leads down to a kind of gorge between the cliffs, down there it's much darker and more dense vegetation. I start to feel a bit creeped out, like a feeling of general dread and uneasyness. My dog is acting nervous too. Then we come across a tree with parts of womens clothing hanging from it, a ripped shirt and a dirty bra among other things. I refrain from shitting my pants but walk away fast, still with a creepy feeling of being watched when I continue on through the main trail. It only stops after I meet another dude with his dog passing by me the opposite way.

In the spring of 2022 a friend and I went hunting for bear in the Umpqua national forest outside of Tiller, OR. There remained a bit of snow maybe a foot or two and we ended up hiking to the top of a meadow, next to a spring. Waiting, I ended up losing my chance at a bear after waiting several hours when my friend ended up in a coughing fit and the bear that was a good distance away at the bottom of the meadow bolted. That part is irrelevant. We end up leaving shortly after because it was late, and by the time we were almost off of the trail it was sunset. We were maybe 200 yard from the trailhead when we encountered a couple who were just getting onto the trail. The man had nothing but a very small day pack, and the woman had nothing except a baby on baby carrier on her chest. They seemed extremely nervous and in my autism I assumed it was because of the hunting rifle slung over my shoulder. The man shakily asked how it was going and said it was going fine, just got done for the day. My friend and I kept walking and I realized it sounded like they weren't moving and I looked back and they were just staring at us. When we looked back they hurriedly kept walking down the trail, towards the east (we encountered them at a split that occurs .1 miles from the trailhead. When we got to the trailhead the only other vehicle besides our own was a blue Toyota FJ cruiser with Idaho license plates. The car was completely empty. We drove off and it really didn't set in how weird the interaction was until a half hour down the dirt roads, how strange it is they were getting on a snow covered trail right at sunset when the closest town, Tiller (which is only a couple of buildings) was nearly an hour of driving away. They didn't even seem equipped at all to camp over night. I don't know still what was going on with that, if those people are still alive or not.Pic related, it's that area in the fall
>hiking in the woods just chilling >oh, it getting dark, time to set up camp>neat, an old radio broadcasting tower, guess I will sleep here for funsies>have my soup, enjoy my time>next morning notice tons, I mean, 10 plus signs warning of airborne asbestos and not to disturb anything on the site, specifically not even the groundOopsie haha
>>2802579Two stories, I will post 1/2 first. 2/2 in next post.> Be me about 16 years old> I was walking down a country road around twilight. (Not in the US, different country)> Come up on this old man walking slowly a few meters ahead of me.> As I caught up to him, he slowly turned his face and greeted me.> I slowed down to his pace and walked with him for a bit.> Kino talk, I remember it felt very oddly warm and very loving for a stranger.> Asked me my name, whose family I was. He knew my grandpa who had died in war.> Told me his name, and where he lived, etc.> ... I walk along> Past an old burial ground.> There was a gravestone about 5 yards from the path with some flowers, white and yellow daisy like.> Sudden breeze and the flowers danced wildly, waving in the breeze.> I glanced at the gravestone - it had the exact name of the old man I just met. And the village he mentioned he was from.> It said he died 13 years ago.> I turned around walked back along the path to where I left the man, but there was no sign of him.Came back home, told my grandmother. She said she knew the family and he was a very kind man who had helped our family a lot and was a mentor to my late grandfather.To this day, when I go back to visit my old country, I take flowers to his grave and sit there for a while even though I never knew the man.
>>28144452/2 stories. First one in post above.> Be me, just under 18 years old.> Had a very strange dream one night.> I was in some sort of forest-y area and go down these steps into a sort of "space".> Technically, if I went down the steps, it is underground but it didn't feel like it. Felt airy.> There's a sort of surreal light and air, not exactly foggy but sort of.> I see some statuettes randomly lined up in this cave - some sort of stone idols.> Suddenly, an old dude appears and says "Oh, you're here. We were waiting for you."> His behavior gave me a vibe like he was some kind of great-grandfather ancestor of mine.> I have no recollection of what he told me, but somehow I was left with the impression that these idols were important and that somehow I was supposed to know about them.> I sort of drifted off in the dream after that.Woke up, but somehow this stayed in my mind. I was having dinner with my mom and her mom (my grandmother) and told them about this dream. Both of them turned completely ashen-faced when they heard it.It turned out that my uncle (mom's oldest brother) had exactly the same dream when he was my age.I spoke to my uncle a few days later, and compared what he saw with mine and everything seemed to be exactly the same. The steps going down, the idols, the old man, and even "Oh you're here - we were waiting for you". It had been decades since my uncle had the dream, and he said it still haunts his mind. As it does mine now.I still have no idea what it all means.
>Go for early morning hike to avoid people>1.5 hours into hike forest at peace.>Suddenly start hearing a baby crying>Can't find the source didn't want to get to far from the path>Finish hike get back home and try and search up what could make that sound>Find multiple videos of lyrebirds mimicking baby crying>Feel disappointed it wasn't /x/ but my countries wildlife fucking with meThat is the best I got, not great but at the time it was spooky.

>>2803754>FrogmancyLearn to harness your power, or at least enjoy more karma boosts. Good job.
>>2814549I guess it is a little bit. I never lose my head exactly, just get to a point where I feel like I need to be hyper-vigilant because I don't trust my surroundings. So eventually I decide I can't just go to sleep and maybe I'm better off abandoning and getting back indoors.Doesn't happen often but I think it's because I've had a few alarming run-ins with aggressive wildlife and even random people at a place and time nobody should be skulking about, so that runs through my head and influences my decisions. If I'm with at least one other person we just cope with it though, slight sense of safety with another perosn.

>>2802579My grand grandpa found a shining door dice, he puled it a d a golden door opened.Inside was a nice room, he entered and there 3 beautifull angelic beings, each dressed in a different colour, welcomed him.He was there for just few moments. They asked if he is hungry, he said not because he eaten at the sheep farm. They asked if he wants to remain with them, he said no because he is expected to return home.They told him that after he will die, he will return there. Then he got outside. Returned home. But in those few moments, outside 3 days passed and few white points of hair apeared in his head.
Another one. One brother of some grand grandparrents, 100 years ago. Took a hide in a hay barn, to hunt.In the night he heard a creature sing, a lady, similar to 'baba yaga' He hide himself in the back of bard with gun pointed to door. He heard foot steps on snow coming to the barn door. When she arrived at dor, he fired a shoot. Was not a single footsteep outside.Another one with 'baba yaga' in a hut un in the mountains, hone boiled a 10 liters milk in a pot. It was boiling. She apeared in a lady form asking for some milk, he invided her to take from the pot but take care because its boiling. She drink instantly the 10 liters of boiling milk and gone was.

>>2821176Thanks lad
I had an encounter with this guy in the Angeles National Forest. He's been harassing/attacking campers in the area for years.https://ktla.com/news/local-news/extremely-dangerous-man-attacking-mt-baldy-hikers-more-victims-sought/I was camping alone at a hike-in campsite. I wake up at 3 am to piss and when I get out of my tent the dude is just hovering near my campsite. He looked strung the fuck out. I said something like "Can I help you dude?" and he asked "is there anyone with you?" At that point I noticed he had something in his hand. He was kind of trying to hide it in his sleeve and I didn't get a good luck but i'm pretty sure it was a knife. At that point I very firmly said "You gotta get out of here."Then he really freaked me out. Have you ever seen those videos of Charles Manson in court where he starts making these weird faces? Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9QXY80OxS0The guy started doing that. It's so unnerving to see a deranged person be "silly." Like it would have been less scary if he had screamed or said he was going to kill me or something. He just made faces at me and started doing weird little voices. It was so fucking bizarre. I'd just never seen real schizophrenia like that before.I told him fuck off again and he finally did. But I definitely wasn't about to get back in my tent. I ended up getting the fire going again and just waiting up all night for the sun to rise.A few months later I found out a lot of other people had encounters with this guy. I'm glad he's in custody now. I'm sure he'll be out soon though seeing as how this is California.
i never had anything super natural but a few times while hiking i have gotten the feeling im being watched, and every single time i find cougar tracks nearbyweird how you can feel it
a while back, late at night i heard a weird ass sound that was of an animal screeching & getting attacked, it was sorta like a pig, but not a piglooked up a bunch of sounds for animals in my area, still haven't heard anything like it, it had to be pretty sizeable too (larger than a racoon or fox) from the way everything soundedits not much, but when you're out in the dark surrounded by trees, with everything all quiet, then suddenly hear what sounds like an animal being absolutely torn to shreds, its spookyand when you also can't really find out what it was, it becomes confusing>>2820530yeah, /x/ is an absolute shithole nowits pretty much unusable unless you wanna talk about succubi or vampires

>>2823859you still find random ass stairs in the woods sometimes, usually they were part of a now abandoned trail
>>2802579It's pretty tame but on my first solo camping trip I was about a mile and a half off trail in a park. Around 1am I was still up just chilling by the fire and 30 something Russian teens and a few adults just walked through my off trail camp. A girl explained that they were part of a church and they would come out to that spot for night hiking. They setup a small camp right next to me and started making food and praying for a long time. Basically a whole mass. It really weirded me out because why the fuck would they not go somewhere else out in the whole woods and do that. A few of the people came over and started asking me about my faith and offering me to come to their church for service. They stayed for like two hours and then just left after.

Once while working in the Klamath NF on my way back from a lake someone put up sticks in the shape of a pentagram at the trail crossroads. Not really spoopy aside from the fact that someone had been there, in a remote part of the forest, 1-2 h within my passing The other was in Mt San Gorgonio, in a campground around Momyer route. I was camping alone and in the night I heard and physically saw a shadow person and I could breathe. I started to freak out then pray, then it was as if everything snapped back to normal. Not sure if it was a dream but it was extremely vivid and realMy boss from the usfs when I worked at the Klamath had stories of the Great Basin Bigfoot in BLM land and of UFOs in Montana

My wife and I were dating at the time and we were invited to go camping at Bluewater (NM) with her family, a group of about 10 people. We set everything up just off the shore of the lake and another group of friendly people but strangers, about the same size, was camped a little ways down the shore. I felt a weird vibe from the whole area during the day but brushed it off. My wife and I are not drinkers so we were sober at night when shit went down. Our group and the other group were each doing their own thing at night, mostly playing card games, eating and having some drinks. We kept hearing what sounded like a little girl, whining. The youngest person in our group was my wife’s 18 year old little brother, but we assumed the little girl must be in the other group. The whining did sound a bit distressed like asking for help. It got worse and worse and eventually someone from that group came over to ask if there was a little girl with us because it sounded like she needed help. Nope. Both groups full of adults. So with the other group we gather flashlights and start searching the area, thinking there’s a little girl somehow out here who’s lost, scared and confused and needing help. There’s a field of grass between the lake and the forest, the little girl sounds were very loud, and we quickly found the source. In the grass field in front of the forest we all saw the same shit. This tall thing, taller than anyone in our groups, it was skinny and completely white. Head to toe, it was WHITE. I couldn’t make out features or clothes, I described it as well as I could, but as soon as we saw it and were watching it, the little girl noises continued like crying for help and 100% from that thing. Everyone was quiet. We all looked at each other but being in such a large group felt safe to advance a bit and check it out.
>>2827212As we approached it, it looked like it was gliding, backwards towards the forest. It seemed like it was still facing us just backing away as we approached. When it got into the forest we lost sight of it and couldn’t hear a little girl anymore. Both groups discussed amongst each other how weird and honestly creepy it was, before mutually agreeing to keep an eye out for the rest of the night. The vibe was weird after that, nobody felt like playing games or drinking and it was late enough to go to bed, so everyone went to their tent for the night. I wanted to leave, but felt safe with my wife and her brothers in the tent we were in and didn’t want her family to think negatively of me for leaving. I couldn’t sleep at all that night and neither could the guys in the tent with me. Later at night around 2AM we heard it again, same exact noises, in that field behind us. We refused to leave the tent and left to get back to the city immediately the next morning. I have never in my life witnessed anything that compares. Sometimes the topic comes up with her family and it still creeps all of us out. Not one person who was there that night can explain what we all saw and heard.
>>2827212>>2827214It was the spooky ghost in OP's picture, v spooky ah
>>2827212>>2827214This sounds like a Mr. Ballen story. I heard a similar little girl screaming for her Mamma when my gf, I, and our friends were camping in Jemez. I'm more than convinced these were both skinwalkers. New Mexico is fucked up
>>2827238You think everything’s a skinwalker, though.
>>2827244I thought skinwalkers were like flat earth; nobody actually believes it they just pretend to because it's funny on the internette
>>2812093Dude seeing UFOs completely change your view on reality. I've seen a number of then myself, but one of the weirdest aspect of it was I was telling a buddy of mine about one of the sightings and he got really freaked out because his dad had seen the exact same phenomenon in the same general area of the country two decades prior.
>>2827246they're more like the Ouija. you can have a laugh about it but if the triangle starts moving on its own you're not gonna take any chances
>>2827246It's a meme that people repeat because they desperately want to feel like they've got some sort of /out/ cred, instead of, you know, just going outside.
>>2802579>>2802579Ive Never told this story anywhere I grew up in the caribbean, on a small island called Anguilla part of the British west indies; It has a couple small uninhabited islands near by, one right off one of the islands points called Anguilla Island or christmas island, the island is slim and long like an eel. There is one called Dog island and one called Scrub Island which has an airstrip for drug smuggling built in the 80s The other island is called Prickly Pear, often tourists will go there to party, for day trips, most people don't stay overnight. There is a small structure right off the main leeward side beach, with some built in benches and chairs, a built in bar and snack shack, all open. Also an abandoned metal boat on the windward side of the islandI went to sailing school for a few years, I did scuba diving for shipwrecks and other reefs, long story short I was a very /out/ person, fishing often.When I was about 13, I decided to take my small sailing boat to camp on prickly pear overnight, The whole day was fun, caught and cooked a couple red snappers over an open fire, explored the beech with my metal detector. At night time I usually would have slept in a hammock outside between two coconut palms however I had a really weird feeling like I was being watched and decided to sleep inside the shack, It had a doorway and a counter with a small opening, so it had some shelter to it. Starting at around midnight I could hear a lot of excessive splashing and laughing, it sounded like a young female voice; I was weirdly scared/excited but next thing I know it started to call my name, to come in the water. I was so scared I thought my heart was going to come out of my chest, I didn't even get up to look, stayed alert as long as i could until I eventually fell asleep and sailed home the next day. I asked some old islander sailors and fishermen who said they would have made me disappear if I had gone out.

>>2802579No truly paranormal but during my childhood in BSA I would routinely wake up in the middle of the night and feel this dissociative feeling with the outside, as if my tent was in space. And yet sometimes also there was a feeling of another force out there, not a person perhaps (no “bumps in the night”) but just something strangely cosmic out thereAny else relate?

>>2828837Yeah that’s what my night terrors felt like about 30-40% of the time. Hard to explain how it’s similar to what you described but the nothingness and the emptiness of the universe and futility of life. It was similar to how I felt a few times while doing dmt

hey /out.i have an issue. some i think french biking tourists are camping right outside my field tonight, on my neighbours plot. and i m rather sure they dont have permission since they where hiding when i went by. so i want to creep them out. this place is rather rural and there is no other houses within a couple km range. i was thinking about going foxhunting, but these people kinda ruined that. i feel like these people needs to learn to respect our laws regarding right to roam. so my current plan is to grab my ghillie and jbl. find some creepy sound effects to play and set up in the forrest edge near by. thoughts? tips on sound effects or other ways to have some fun (legaly) this night? if i go through with it i will report back.
>>2831366playing babies crying is good, police sirens too
I was at Chatahooche-Oconee national forest, and the park site was Lake Russell Recreation Area. I was trying to sleep 1 night and I heard this strange whistling sound throughout the campsite- I'm pretty sure it was echoes coming from vehicles driving somewhere, but it was eerie. Another time was Providence Canyon (shittiest campsite ever, don't go there unless it's one of those pioneer wagon wagon camps), and I settled down for the night after a long day, and after a couple hours of trying to sleep, I heard coyotes yipping and howling in the distance. I had my pistol w/ me and an extra magazine. Another thing that happened during my time there was when I was trying to sleep when I suddenly woke up to a shrieking sound and I couldn't sleep again that night; I packed my shit and went home that morning, and I also got a partial refund. I'm betting the last thing happened due to stress and a shitty tent pad pillow made my head hurt.

Last night i was in the mountains. Sleeping in my car. At 2 after midnight. An offroad vehicle passed and stoped nearby. One guy was sitting on the window with his legs inside car and body outside, with a big flashlight, flashing my car. I was under blanket on rear seats.Then he contiued his road and flashing. They where hunting illegal in a national park. After a while, i started my car and went back home.
>>2832698Illegql hunting from car with flashlight is a common method used.The scarry part for me and, well, foreign tourists who also had car parked nearby.Is that someone with a charged riffle, maybe with the flashlight directly on riffle, points at your car in middle of night nowhere.At least i was near home. But there where some tourists vans too.

>>2832732>cattle mutilationi think those are perhaps the scariest mysteriessure you could say "it was the govt.", yet to have a guy see a cow just drop to the ground in front of him, and when looked at, it magically has no blood whatsoever & voids of missing flesh surrounded by totally intact flesh, as if it were teleported out, thats not the govt., thats something much worse i wonder how many missing people were victims of these events

I've only ever met weird people in the wild.My supervisor once drove me and we passed by an rv in the center with several other rvs surrounding it like a circle. He told me his wife worked with the court system in the county and that they were some raven cult or something of that nature. It was already weird cause if you lived out there you either worked in the few stores in town, grew alfalfa and raised cattle, or you were hiding from the government probably on something
>>2802579An assortment of random stuff that spooked me. Nothing really noteworthy or whatever. I love these threads, cool stories all.>1A time when I wanted to test my new night vision out in the mountains. Not too far west of Denver. I drive off on a small highway and park at a pull off. I had a mountain house or something, but figured I'd go down a hill to a creek to get water (then boil and filter etc). There is a creek at the bottom of a pretty steep v notch in the terrain, probably ~100 feet elevation drop from the highway. The day was bright and sunny at my car, but once I got down to the water, it was nearly dark as night. Lots of tree cover. Didn't like that, felt watched so I got the water and booked it. Later that night I went walking out into the forest with the nods and multiple times didn't notice deer until I was almost right on top of them. Shined an ir illuminator out and saw dozens of eyes staring back at me from multiple directions. Felt unwelcome and left.>2Various times camping where you can't help but be sure that you're hearing footsteps outside your tent. That's pretty typical I guess. Nbd>3Once when I was a kid, I was staying at grandparent's mountain cabin with cousin. We look out the window in the middle of the night and see two mountain lions ferociously fighting. Like totally tearing into one another. Only thing I can compare it to is the videos I see of grizzlies ripping on each other. The next morning there's no trace. I chalk it up to seeing things. On that same trip, I was awoken near midnight and remember running outside as fast as I could. In front of me was a herd of what seemed to be hundreds of elk stampeding through gpa's property. I remember being there with my cousin and a couple uncles. Fell down in the snow and propped myself up on a stump as they thundered by. I can still see it in my mind, the moon was full and it illuminated the elk pretty well. Only problem is I can't verify it with anyone else...
>>2832746... in the family. Odd. Probably just a very vivid dream.>4I saw a skinwalker out in Nebraska. Driving to a reservoir in the pitch black night, we almost run over this guy sprinting away from us down the road. Just as we're going to hit him, he starts flapping his arms and becomes an owl right before my very eyes. That's all, again nothing super scary. Being /out/ is fun! I feel like I'm forgetting something. Will post if I recall
>>2811047Spooky
This was around four years ago, and took place in Mendocino National Forest. Anyone from this region of California knows that there's a whole lot of tweakers, and these tweakers like to spend time innawoods. I've usually not had any problems, but let's just say I wouldn't want to be a solo woman out there. However, it's a gorgeous forest and if you know where to look you can find solitude. Pictured is the airstirp north of Lake Pillsbury from a different trip to this forest.I was deep innawoods with a buddy of mine I'll call David. We were camped off of a dirt road way off the beaten path, and we'd had to creep up it real slow. It was around 1 am and David was getting ready for bed in the tent while I stowed some gear in the truck, which was between me and the road at the moment, with the tent behind me. I paused, thinking I was hearing something. It sounded like an engine and really squeaky shocks. A little unnerving at 1 am this deep innawoods, but I thought to myself that it's public land, and if people want to do hoodrat shit out here in the middle of the night then they've got a right to.My attitude towards whoever these people were changed pretty quickly when I spotted them. They were creeping up the road, lights out, towards our camp. Instinctively, I turned off my headlamp just before they came around the bend into the clearing where we were, and just watched them from behind the truck. My rifle was leaning up against the wheel. I hear David go "what the fuck?" inside the tent, and start shuffling around, no doubt looking for his pistol. At this point I'm at about defcon 2. If someone pulled up on me with their lights on, I might have been a little more charitable, but the fact that they rolled up on me lights out in the middle of the night was setting off some alarm bells. cont
>>2832818Two dudes exit the truck and start walking towards us. They're skinny, but I can't see much more than that, as the moonlight is really faint. They've got lights and something else in each hand, not sure what, but I didn't want to find out.In that moment I decided it was now or never. I came out from behind the truck, holding my rifle by the reciever in my right hand (an M1 Carbine for the /k/fags in this thread). In the excitement, I forgot to turn my headlamp on like a total retard. "What's up?" I asked, trying not to sound either threatening or scared, probably failing at both. They freeze for a second, then without a word turn around, get back in the truck, and drive off slowly, continuing up the road.David finally extricates himself from the tent and asks what the fuck just happened, and I tell him. It's at this point that we realize the truck drove up the road maybe another thirty seconds before the engine just stopped. We weren't sure if it was just being muffled by the brush or if they had killed it. Either way, we were majorly sketched out and decided to call it quits. We basically just picked up the tent and tossed it in the truck bed and wedged it in with some gear boxes before beginning the long drive home. My rifle was in my lap and David had his pistol in his coat pocket. We bumped down the dirt road faster than we probably should have for around two hours before finally exiting the woods, the whole time checking over our shoulders for the truck. We only stopped to pull over at a rest stop and quickly case the weapons before continuing home. We got there around six in the morning.Overraction? Probably, in retropsect, but at the time it seemed pretty sketch.

>>2832735Yeah I don't believe this. I've worked around cattle my entire life, and I've seen them die accidentally, and kill themselves, in all kinds of ways. I've seen seemingly minor things kill cattle, easily. And I've seen plenty of ranchers that have no idea how their cattle died.
>>2825271wdym hold your breath? I think there's a difference between sleep paralysis and those shadow creatures. I know that because I experienced both, in sleep paralysis it's an overlap between a dreaming and a conscious state of mind, it always happens when you are half awake, and it's mostly someone doing something to you while you are incapable of reacting. While those shadow creatures--from what I heard and experienced--are always seen when you're conscious, not some suspected shadows out of fear, but you clearly see them that you cannot cope with it being hallucinations. From my experience, they can even affect our world. Idk what those are, but maybe a small overlap between our world and another.If you lurk enough in /x/ you'd hear about them a lot.
>>2825267>someone had been there, in a remote part of the forest, 1-2 h within my passingI've come to find out that in the Western US, this isn't really that unusual. It's way more common than you think. I don't know if I've ever truly been to an area that hasn't seen human presence in the last 30 years, and I have been to some incredibly remote locations. I've been on some slopes that don't even have mountaineering routes, no real reason to be there, and I have seen trash, survey markers, boot prints, etc. Weirdest thing I've seen was (cut) barbed wire fencing, spooled up, sitting on a rock on the side of a steep mountain. Weird because, who would seriously bother to fence that area with the expectation that cattle could/would climb that mountain?
>>2832719To assure no one is in the car to follow or see them.I saw em but i am not a snitch, even if it made me angry i was in same scenario as a pray.
>>2831366Rape the slowest one from the group to death! That’ll really teach them
>>2828837That was just your scoutmaster raping you while you were semi conscious after he drugged your food.
>>2832837ufo's are big anywhere, norther europe is famous for them even, so why assume usa?
I remember going into crownland north of Gravenhurst in Ontario. 2010me an my gf at the time wee pathing our way to a spot we were interested in. Came across a marijuana field, a dude on the other side waved at us than began speed walking towards us. We turned and ran back where we came, it was a good 40 minute sprint back to the car.
>>2802613Ive had the same thing happen when i was around the same age. It was a normal house out in the sticks and when we came back the next afternoon it was fallen apart and full of rotten vegetables
>>2830587Its okay to be gay anon. Just keep it to yourself.
>>2802579Not supernatural, but spooky at the moment:>summer 2016>hiking inna Saguaro National Park>signs all over the place closing off certain trails due to killer bee infestations>warnings that if you get swarmed, run as fast as you can and they'll drop pursuit after a quarter mile>bypassed two or three closed trails with these signs>passing through an area with trees on either side of the trail>winds pick up>distant buzzing sound>slightconcern.mp3>winds pick up more>buzzing becomes louder and sounds closer>winds starts whipping the trees around>loud, angry buzzing all around me>drop my pack and prepare to sprint down the trail>buzzing suddenly subsides, as do the winds>trees sit still>mfw it was quite literally "just the wind"
>>2830528but anon, I stay on my own property.
>>2812093that's similar to my only unexplainable experience I have ever had while /out/.I was watching a small light in the sky that looked like a very bright star, it was moving very slowly across the sky, almost imperceptibly, but relative to the other stars in the sky it was making very slow lateral progress across the sky. Without warning it changed direction and accelerated impossibly rapidly, moving diagonally across the sky and disappearing beyond the horizon in about one second from it's prior position about 30° above the horizon. I just jumped and yelled "whoa what the fuck!".No one else saw it. Also, one time I saw what I believe to be an asteroid or meteor burn up in the sky on my commute home.
