Pumpkin at 5:00 bottom right corner?

[@AhNee]

The FUCK? The Cascades are NOT in the northeastern part of Washington State, they're closer to the middle, though actually it divides the state into thirds. Plus I couldn't hear what pass you mentioned.

The First Story... Skulls in the Forrest- This is Mike from TA Outdoors channel [totally awesome outdoors.] Yes, this was in England; the only other places Mike has videoed is Scotland... to my knowledge. I watched this episode when it came out BEFORE COVID [I think], so it's been some years. He wasn't necessarily afraid of anything supernatural, but creeped out by the possibility that there were other people in the area. The tree limbs, the skulls were hanging on, WERE FRESH CUT. THIS WAS RECENT, NOT ANCIENT HISTORY. All of the skulls were obviously from animal carcasses that had been scavenged by the local predators, NO ANIMAL SACRIFICE. A couple of Red Deer and a couple of Sheep skulls , and all of that would be commonplace in that part of England. No, Mike never divulges the forrests where he camps, unless it is private property where he has permission... and now in his own little tract of land with a forrest. There was no rhyme or reason to the placement of the skulls on the stakes, and Mike thought it looked like some Teen agers doing 'stupid' things with skulls they found in the forrest.

[@martinkirsch5969]

Thanks for the info. Do you remember the name of the video? Cheers.

[@discombobulatedfishbowl7548]

Or an old man getting rid of his collection while messing with the teens. lol

[@katiedickson0820]

That’s what I thought right away, that someone was just messing around because those are clearly not “decades old” 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Aethuviel]

Yeah "Britain" and "far from civilization" don't really go together. 😆 A lot of us pagans like to use animal skulls as ornamentation in rituals, it's nothing spooky or evil about it - it's just a part of nature and a more permanent piece of natural material, like wood.

[@Aethuviel]

This was the most exaggerated I've seen Top5s get in a long while. *Animal skulls on sticks* "It might be a cult... some horrid, murderous rituals took place here, possibly witches... they must have been standing here for centuries... he was lucky to get home with his life" (paraphrasing all of it). It's just some animal skulls.

[@anna9072]

First story: Absolutely not centuries before. Probably not even decades. Those sticks that the skulls are on would decay and/or get knocked over within a few years. The skulls themselves might be a decade or so old, but they were likely propped up on the sticks after the soft tissue had decayed.

[@janehughart9290]

Yeah my first thought was that it was either a hoax or some pagans had had a ritual there.

[@davidhencmann7523]

Agreed, I work in the woods for a living and come across bones all the time. Sun bleaching destroys bone within a few years.

[@viciousKev]

Squirrels and other animals knaw bones in the woods, they dont last long. These look to be in perfect condition

[@jwolfe1209]

The sticks also look very freshly cut

[@rashadchowdhury523]

Going thru a divorce and your Channel is a blessing. I wait for new videos and your voice is so much calm! Thanks my friend!

[@Lucky_Chase]

I wish you good fortune on your journey, friend.

[@nightheron5892]

Better days ahead Rashad

[@meredithgrubb4497]

I pray everything turns out well for u and that only good things come ur way. I know how hard it is.

[@azazelleknight4968]

It's getting better.. Something has to go for better to come...

[@dacronic1646]

It’s a blessing in disguise.

[@HeyShayShay]

My eyes fell out & my arms fell off. Luckily for me Top5s uploaded & maked everything better. Thanks Tops5s!!

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

Loving that almost every video so far you’ve mentioned cases from hometowns around me!!! (Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and North Notts) I live in a small town that is near where all three counties come together. From Doncaster, now live only 30 mins from Retford. Been Following Retford Ghosthunters for quite some time. Any one else from this area? Gives us a wave!

[@nightdreamfig]

As someone who grew up in Great Falls MT I've heard of that legend many times. My mom, Nana, great auntie, and I were on that highway many times and my auntie would bring it up. She would always say he was restless and lost spirit who died a tragic death. We are Native Americans and we are very close to the spiritual world. Every time I'm on that highway I always think about what my great auntie told me.

[@EKk8819]

"These artifacts are centuries old from witches" A deer skull on a fresh green stick you can tell was cut off a tree like hours before the video was shot.. lol

[@jasoninthehood9726]

People wouldn’t fake anything for KZbin!! Delete that comment

[@LukeTownley]

It ain’t spooky season without top5s!!! 🎃👻

[@th4br4nm4n]

The upload timing on these videos are ✨immaculate✨

[@Nobe_Oddy]

EXCELLENT SELECTION AS USUAL!!! I wish you could post these every night of the year... :)

[@crispycritter7022]

I use to drive highway 87 in Montana a few years. I had express deliveries from the office in Great Falls to Havre. I've only traveled at night to go fishing and drink beer just past the Fort Benton near Loma. I never saw the hitch hiker but saw very stange things in that area. One day, it rained a bunch of baby toads in Big Sandy. There was millions of them jumping in the street and getting ran over. After a day of deliveries in Havre, I was headed back to Great Falls. Right around Fort Benton there was a car in front of me for a few miles. Then the car just disappeared right in front of my eyes! There is strange stuff in and around highway 87 for sure!

[@einienj3281]

I can't be the only one who finds creepy videos, horrir movies, ghost stories etc relaxing? 😅 Thank You Top5's 💜💀💜

[@andydbedford]

Nope, I fall asleep to them, especially Top5’s. 😁

[@SuperDONOVAN420]

They are absolutely awesome 😎

[@lowlifeminitrucker6910]

Absolutely 💯

[@karolinamura]

Top 5s is off the charts for that

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

It’s like a little cozy corner! Xxx

[@songoku9348]

Top5’s is here, after a stressful day I can now chill and relax. Thanks Top5’s

[@charlieknight5065]

Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE channel Thank You for another great video once again my friend this has been another great October once again too with your channels I'm a huge fan been watching since summer of 2016. Thank You again and have a Blessed Day and Weekend Everyone

[@Kyleprice-it6yn]

I have bad insomnia. I'm usually awake at least one full night a week. Your channel gets me through the long nights! ♡

[@joshburk3843]

I have that problem also man, it's terrible...this channel is also one of my favorites...there's a channel called "the why files" that is also great for those nights when ya can't sleep

[@michaeladams5636]

Thank you for not missing a day this entire October you are the iron man.

[@joshuaW5621]

You guys are masters at horror.

[@TOGade-dj6jh]

16:35 my team and I have experienced something similar. We were investigating an old castle where they have burned witches. The car we drove there was still warm when we walked back to get more equipment. I filmed with my thermal camera and captured something black flowing across the car, whatever it was it was solid enough to block out the heat of the car!? To this day it remains one of the most eerie things I’ve captured on thermal camera this far.

[@marty2682]

Cracking videos this month. Just cant find these bloody pumpkins, too well hidden.

[@_evilsis_8660]

5:24 nope, it’s just the tree! I remember going in to look at the webcam, and it’s just the trick of the tree stem and branches 😂

[@kingrama2727]

This guys voice makes me “excited”

[@jcfuentes1643]

I've lived in Montana for 2 years now and have NEVER heard of the Phantom Hitchhiker. I travel a lot for work and pass by Great Falls quite a bit, so looks like I have something new to check out next time I'm in town 😱

[@enricoiraldo9057]

I love imagining a group of young lads encountering the skull of a deer in the forest and thinking “yo bro don’t it look funny on a stick” “It was as if an ancient civilization performed a sacred ritual far from other settlements”

[@philliposborn808]

Thank you Top 5, I took a breather and gave you time to chill. I have watched and enjoyed every episode this spooktacular month and thanks to you Top 5, tonight's creepy montage really took me by surprise, what a strange case is that of Ruth Finley, I hope she finds peace at last after going through what seemed a life of abuse, the mind itself is such a powerful entity that I could easily understand how she created a alter ego, and I know she wasted police time, but she was never prosecuted, but how really chilling that story alone was, and in amongst four other equally chilling stories. You have surpassed yourselves Top 5 and I love every single minute of it. 👏🍻❤❤

[@jaye6912]

Another great post. Your site is interesting and informative ❤

[@sydneyc5308]

I grew up and lived in Great Falls, I have never heard of the hitchhiker. And I drove up that rode every day for 4 years. lol That location is pretty close to were they found the body of a woman that was kidnapped and her boyfriend murdered in Wadsworth Park.

[@sydneyc5308]

Also, not a desolate strech of road, its maybe 5 minutes out of town and surrounded by farm/ranch/and/or houses

[@Photobuffeddy1314]

love the more scary stories’ I agree ☝️ 😅

[@AugustEverywhere]

Not sure what I'm gonna do when Spooktober is over. . . We've been so spoiled 👻👻👽👽

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

I know right!

[@NTSadowski]

Number 1 is a setup.. the sticks are still fresh for christsakes. Dead trees break down

[@dukeandfsu682]

So I live in Great Falls, MT and in 35 years I’ve never heard the story about the phantom hitchhiker. I have driven highway 87 to Fort Benton MT hundreds of times. It’s a pretty creepy highway at night 😮 I will be looking for the hitchhiker every time I drive now haha!

[@josephblood2907]

Top5s never disappoints ❤

[@TomTom-yu1xp]

If the narrow sticks holding animal skulls in the first segment were really from decades or centuries ago, the wood would have weakened and rotted. Those skulls look fresh too.

[@natehughey6432]

Can you do a list on creepy or mysterious halloween parties? Like one where someone poisned the punch bowl

[@Izumi_Ikebukuro]

Good timing

[@pettykittyfam]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃👻 LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 😻

[@markevans5912]

The 1st video, the sticks are relatively fresh, they aren't decades old the inside splinters aren't decayed enough

[@birdflipper]

In the first "mystery," common sense dictates that the skulls were fastened to sticks, which are biodegradable, all of which appeared to be in relatively good condition so they couldn't have been laying on the ground for decades or centuries. The most likely source is the guy who allegedly discovered them.

[@TOGade-dj6jh]

14:01 imagine being so far into a psychosis that you don’t remember stabbing yourself and writing hate mail as well? As the old saying goes: I’m a poet, and don’t even know it!

[@cayleytomburgessharrystyle1381]

hello top5s are you excited for Halloween love your KZbin channel

[@jazzyw5600]

every time i put on ur vids ur voice makes me so sleepy but i get spooked listening lmao

[@labhrais6957]

I love TA Outdoors!

[@TheBatman-1989]

Me too! I clicked immediately when I saw his face 😂 his dad is just as awesome!

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

Go to TA fishing and scroll down to old videos and you’ll see Mike as a young man. Never followed him to TA outdoors but still love Graham his father in TA fishing

[@TherikVanen]

Had the opportunity to have drinks with Mike and His wife in NYC 4-5 years back. Amazing people!

[@WolfenEXE]

In the last clip, the ghost just wanted to open some card packs with Packman.

[@andrewward2010]

Pac Man has always had problems with Ghosts lol!

[@marygoround1292]

I can't imagine being terrorized for years by an unknown person, only to find out it was me the whole time. I'm really glad Ms. Finley got the help she needed.

[@toddtourville984]

Those skulls on sticks could not have been centuries old, let alone decades. Those sticks would have rotted away after a couple of years. The skulls wouldn't last too long since rodents would have chewed them up for the calcium. There is no indicators of why they were put there. That footage @ 6:00 is a man walking up a slope. The arm length is wrong and the stride is as well.

[@punchbeard]

I’ve personally been responsible for putting an old animal skull on a stick before during a wood walk lol. What else do you do with a skull? Leave it there like a normal person?

[@poeticsilence047]

Wouldn't be a Top 5s without the "It's aliens" guy meme story telling.

[@scottieman2]

I love these videos.

[@tremorsfan]

I think the first video is props from a movie set that were left up.

[@TherikVanen]

Got to have drinks with Mike from TAOutdoors in NYC years back. (first video) great guy!

[@MidBoss666]

With ghost activity, Packman Lane should be renamed to Pac-Man Lane (buddum tss!)

[@karkovice10]

In the #4 video, if that figure stayed in the exact same pose for 48 hours straight, it's NOT a bigfoot. It's just a part of the tree!

[@Afrattino]

Love your stuff, and I don't mean to get hung up on your choice of flair wording, but suggesting that the skull staffs had been there for "decades or even centuries" is a bit of stretch. A couple years maybe, but there's no way that those twigs supporting those skulls are that old. Wood rots, soil moves and those skulls wouldn't have stayed put if a decent gust of wind came through that area. My theory is MAYBE a Satanic/Pagan ritual...more than likely some Social Media Influencer did a photo shoot there a few months before. As for a "necrophonic microphone"...I'm sorry, but I take no stock into a device (or app) that claims to be able to pick up spectral voices. Where's the science (or even the mysticism) behind that? Any self-respecting paranormal investigator wouldn't be caught undead claiming that as credible evidence.

[@CobraCommander92]

Agreed. Sticks wood have rotted with in a year. Just either people goofing off or someone doing some "ritual" a few weeks/months before.

[@MsMtheory]

Riiight... Far as I know spirit boxes were invented by this dude who was definitely a grifter... Then these apps.. like wat. And her "omg!" Acting like they didn't program it to say that or whatever..is so fake and terrible 😂😅

[@poeticsilence047]

Lol undead. I see what you did there.

[@boorawr400]

No one: This video: “enigmatic”

[@Nefertiti0403]

2nd looks like someone added it in

[@jpgr8937]

Thats crazy since I love watching TA Outdoors and seem to have missed that video.

[@multiyapples]

Can we have links to the videos?

[@ThatImmo]

Weird random coincidence: both Black Horse Lake and Packman Lane have an RC club nearby.

[@cabininthewoods3750]

Those skull sticks can't last centuries. They will deteriorate beyond use in less than 5 years. This is recent or staged.

[@fredrikjulsenandersen]

Video 2 is just a tree trunk in my eyes

[@craigturner1748]

Video 1, could have just been the remnants of a Wassail maybe, an after party in the woods many years ago

[@glennthomas8418]

I once dog-sat at a house way out in the woods. The mutt kept disappearing into the woods then bringing back pieces of a rotten deer carcass and dragging them though the doggie door. When I put them in the garbage the dog would go nuts, knocking over the cans and spreading the trash everywhere. So in order to keep these disgusting smelling things away from the dog, I stuck them up in the trees out of his reach. If there had been an internet back then, I'm sure it would have gone viral.

[@AyZeD]

Really thick forests themselves are kinda freaky dude, there's something eerie and primordial about them. I wouldn't wanna get lost in one.

[@Ann-sj4pt]

Hello

[@FanksCast]

I'd love to see an April's fool video from top 5 where he has an actual human tone when be speaks and not being apathetic or neutral.

[@dprkassassin1876]

The ends of the poles with the animal skulls have been trimmed....freshly cut...so my explanation is the guy in the video set it up for more views

[@carlnash5736]

Should stick to your fishing TA outdoors 😂

[@tiawinchester1032]

I'm sorry, but none of these ghost and monster stories seemed even slightly believable. These videos used to be mostly backed up with facts and stories from witnesses. What happened to this channel?

[@BomChickyBowWow]

Boy, those ancient sticks sure have an incredibly slow rate of decay. Maybe the ancient cult made them immortal.

[@ArchitectGG]

I check back on this channel now and then to see if Top5s actually listens to feedback in the comments, but apparently that's still not the case. You'd think by now they'd realise their drop in viewership is probably linked to the frequent dishonesty, lack of research and/or ridiculous claims. RIP Top5s

[@marigeobrien]

Many roads are haunted. There is one in my area that's even called "Shades of Death Road." It's on the map, near Jenny Jump State Forest (formerly Jenny Jump Falls where a woman named Jenny jumped to her death.) There's also Ghost Lake, near that.

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

I love spook season

[@karenstarr]

I’m sorry but where was this shadowy figure in the last video? I looked directly at where the arrows were pointing and saw absolutely nothing.

[@ronalddavies1091]

I follow TA Outdoors and in my opinion he wouldn't make sh_t up. ✌️

[@Nefertiti0403]

1st one. Just ppl being crazy

[@drb996]

Anyone who still thinks there's a thing such a big foot exists deserves coal in their stocking for Christmas

[@seandelap8587]

It wouldn't suprise me if the BTK killer has more victims which may account for the years when he was supposedly inactive

[@ChristinaH88]

I wish that the audio is louder I always have to turn the volume all the way up to hear the talking 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cabininthewoods3750]

I use trail cams, they shoot in high definition, not a blury haze. I can count the hairs a deers arse with these trail cams.

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

I bet that gets you going on a wknd

[@STR8graff]

So the first one I just want to add me and some friends would eat mushrooms and do an all day hike into the woods spending hours hiking and when ever we found cool stuff like skulls we either keep them or make alters or like creepy looking witch huts and creepy looking scenes just to freak out the next people who walk threw lmao this was like a weekly ordeal ....one time we got into an abandon warehouse and we brought like 6 plastic dummi3s and baby dolls and crime scene tape and we made like a horror movie set where the 6 dummies stood in a circle around a baby doll head that was in a pentagram surrounded by candles and chicken nuggets it was beautiful lol but like imagine the next adventures walking up to that in a basement of a warehouse dark as hell lol

[@kevinwilliams1602]

Story1 they are quick growing Silver Birch trees likely less than 50 years old

[@michaeladams5636]

Those trees at the start of the video are gonna look nice in 20 years when they mature.

[@LillibitOfHere]

How hard is it to google the proper pronunciation of a city? Especially when it's home to a serial killer you've surely covered before.

[@Neal_Trevena]

Those bones haven't been on sticks for too long. Those sricks would have degraded after a while

[@missjddrage1111]

Yes, the skulls on sticks does seem to be very ritualistic. Unless the man making the video already knew they were out there? 🤔🕵‍♂️

[@yorkshireplumbing]

In the first one, the sticks used were obviously freshly cut sticks, they still had fresh bark on them, so who's falling for that LOL

[@lorieakin5771]

Those aren't old sculls. Birds would have built nests in them or bees would have made hives. Or that's what they are natural bird houses someone made.

[@Scottuz]

Figure is a Cut out Silhouette of a Bigfoot, on the hill above the Road

[@MarksArk2]

Hey, mechanical voiced narrator; you want to try for Wichita? You'd think with the technology we have today that this kind of crap wouldn't happen.

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

The guy in the thumbnail is TA outdoors his father is TA fishing. They started out as TA fishing and Mike got old and wanted his own thing so started TA outdoors. Now you have me wonder why Mike from TA outdoors is in the thumbnail?? Spooky 😂

[@wht-rabt-obj]

Neither the sticks nor the skulls looked to be 100's of years old.

[@yogosapphire]

I travel that pass in Washington State all the time, and I can promise you it was a hoax.

[@benjalucian1515]

First one - maybe the area isn't as isolated as he thinks it is. I didn't think scary ritual when I saw the skeleton heads, it may just be local people staking out their hunting grounds, an offering to the gods to thank them for good hunting, or maybe pagans went camping there and did do a ritual.. Second one - fake. The sasquatch was frozen as the car was moving. It's just a mannequin. Fourth one - lady has mental problems, but I hope she used some of the money she got by appearing on a talk show to pay back the police in her area for her wasting their time. Last one - this is an "experienced" ghost hunting team? They hear a disembodied voice then become screaming mimmies? Hardly the reaction of experienced professionals. I didn't hear anything but a burst of static. And the shadow? Did you notice the lighting on the car was from several light sources? Could have just been someone on the other side of the car - that they didn't film - walking past a light source that sent the shadow under the car to the other side. Calling BS on that one.

[@Aethuviel]

The skull staffs could have been left just days or weeks ago. They are just skulls, why would they have eto be fresh heads when put there? And after decades, the sticks would be gone from all the heavy snowfall. Don't jump to conclusions, these must have been put there very recently, and they're just some animal skulls.

[@benb9151]

Animal heads would not last on the end of sticks because scavengers would knock down or take them

[@RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula]

First video, I saw old tire tracks, it's not that out of the way and not entirely untouched by humans. Might be a warning sign for people like that dumbass to stay off lands that don't belong to him. No "witchcraft" claims needed.

[@eckridium]

You can see the fresh cut on one of the sticks he picks up. Right below the skull. Enough with the bullshit clips.

[@noodlechild666]

lol, first video clip is normal behaviour for UK country kids. Nothing sinister at all. I remember when The Blair Witch first came out and the woods were filled with little stick figures as kids get bored. Skulls are easy to find - either from dead livestock or poached/hunted deer. I recently cleared my garden and found 4 fully antlered skulls attached to the fence. Pretty sure the person who lived in the property before me was nothing more than a deer stalker, not a cult member.

[@TheCrystalBoat]

There wouldn't have been skulls still on the sticks and on top of the leaves and mud if they had been there decades, let alone centuries. They weren't that old.

[@Scottuz]

Artifacts?????FFS about as Old as Last week?
