Buddy, I've lived in Knoxville,TN my whole life. We stayed in the mountains in the summer. I've waded in every creek and river. There are things that only the Cherokee have ever seen,and some regular people too. The windigo ,I , myself, believe whole heartedly does exist. I've heard All the stories and that is definitely one I believe I have actually seen. That's why I don't go anywhere without some kind of weapon, knife, tazer, something.

[@nekkoskrilla6750]

Have you ever heard of the disease known as "Kuru"? It's caused by humans eating too much human meat. We have a protein in our meat that doesn't break down no matter how it's cooked or how long you cook it but that's how the wendigo lore originated. The medical world "discovered" it thanks to the cannibal tribes of Papa New Gueni(sp?). 🌈The More You Know🌈

[@BellaInTN]

Hi neighbor!! I work in Maryville and live in Sevierville 😅

[@zachmccall1513]

I live about 2 hours away id love to know what area to find something ive seen bigfoot once but i really want to see a werewolf or dogman

[@RainZen19]

Considering how big and strong the Wendigo is proported to be, you'd better pack a 12 Guage or a 45-70

[@FloridaMan0561]

@@RainZen19.223,.556,7.62X39 or some other higher caliber rifle is always a good choice. Carrying a .9mm or larger pistol as a backup weapon is always a good idea too. You never know what you might run into out in the woods,so if you are able to go armed, then it’s always a good idea!!!

[@Bopp1961]

I live a few hours from Pigeon Forge, but have vacationed there 20+ times. I’ve only experienced one encounter in all my visits and that was in the rental cabin we were in that year. The entity would whisper in my ear when we’d go to bed. I could feel the wind from the breath as well as hear words that I couldn’t understand. It sounded like it was speaking a foreign language. My husband, who was laying next to me couldn’t hear anything and laughed off my terror. I said my prayers, then covered my head with the blanket at bedtime the rest of the time we were there. It would happen the moment I layed in the bed. It was not a dream. We’ve stayed in motels, hotels and other cabins with nothing strange happening, but I’ll never forget the feeling of that breathe on my neck. I remember the cabin was beteeen pigeon forge and Gatlinburg on the right side of the parkway. It was up a mountain with about 100 other cabins.

[@lcsty1017]

Lol, the first story should get some kind of award for most cliches used in a story 😂 Love Darkness Prevails though❤

[@procrastinator9]

It sounds like the script from a 1980s D level straight-to-video horror movie. Especially the forced bon ami in the dialog.

[@HeatherHennessey-zq4ou]

absolutely! I had a little trouble with this vid because it opened with a fake story! And I could never find where to skip to! lol. Love the topic tho!!!!💗👍!

[@HeatherHennessey-zq4ou]

@procrastinator9 Yessss! 😂

[@KirkWilson86]

This has made my work day much more tolerable!

[@kachi2000]

Exactly, it also helps your imagination

[@DevotioOfficial]

Always a good day when Darkness Prevails uploads. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Anymore werewolf stories coming up?

[@ColesGraphic]

Perfect timing just got back from bowling practice now time for some horror stories, gaming & anime❤

[@Lady05V]

This was AWESOME!!!!!!! I have lived in Western North Carolina my entire life and love hearing these stories. Thank you so much ❤

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

N. Carolina is a Hotspot for weirdness

[@Lady05V]

Yes it is and I love the natural weirdness here. I hope you have a wonderful day and amazing weekend.

[@terrib.996]

I live in Cherokee. Have my entire life. Definitely some unexplainable things here lol

[@dannyhenninger8309]

About story one, Banner Elk is a town that has been home to Lees McRae College for over 100 years, and lies at the foot of beach, mountain and sugar mountain two of western North Carolina’s most popular ski resorts.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

All you need to say is " North Carolina" & I will totally believe you, 100% , whatever tale you have to share, about the weird, odd, strange or unexplained.

[@amyl.7570]

Met my husband of 33 years at Ski Beach in Banner Elk riding on the ski lift together. Great memories of Banner Elk....beautiful place ❤️

[@T-CLARKE]

Hello from the UK I really enjoy your channel it's the best

[@fergustheragamuffin5091]

Yay! Something to block out the running water sounds as I wash dishes. I have SEVERE light and sound sensitivity due to a Very Severe case of Trigeminal Neuralgia and Chronic Migraines, plus a bunch of other things because of the chronic pain I have been suffering from for almost a decade now😅. Long videos help me be more productive.... Well back to this Monsterous pile of dirty dishes....

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

My migraines make me aura out and 🤢🤮

[@steveknows_420]

I know I'm not the same Steve in the first story, but I live right next to a "Smokey" Mountain and I do camp out almost every weekend. Also, we grow a lot of good smoke out here, yeah we do.

[@primesspct2]

I love the smokeys, have camped and hiked all over the place. It's been a long time since I have been. I have never had a scare camping, but then I don't scare easily. In my opinion the scariest thing about the woods, is whatever human you may run into, or a Mama bear with hungry cubs. And of course getting lost out there, which I have done, that was one hell of a day hike! lol. We grow some good smokey stuff up here in OH too.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Not called the " smokies" for nothing

[@haunted_lunchbox]

I caught a new upload ❤ perfect timing for my after work walk 🙌

[@FloridaMan0561]

Darkness Prevails back with another great video, thanks again man!!!

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Your livestock and poultry are on everything's menu. When you're a farmer, or a rancher, hypervigilance is just a part of life.

Another amazing episode, thanks a lot as always Darkness!😄

[@michellehallinan3475]

Yes my Darkness... monsters 👹. I can relax now. Thank you Darkzies 🫶🏼🫰

[@LeeroyPorkins]

There was once an 11' Sasquatch in Ohio called Orange Eyes

[@warbunny13203]

wasn't orange eyes suppose to be hairless and NOT considered a bigfoot type but some other type of homonid, yes i'm refering to the one originally from cleve church area that was spotted in mill creek near mansfield🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲

[@LeeroyPorkins]

@@warbunny13203 I only know about it from the North American Field Guide to Monsters, Myths, and Legends

[@warbunny13203]

​@@LeeroyPorkinsneed to add correction, it was charles mill location, the creek was something else, i forgot the original chrome site but there is a newer one that has conflicting bits of info, i'll see if i can find yours sometime, fyi i live about 1.5hrs drive from there, 1hr away from minerva monster, and 20min from 2 dogman sitings, there's others close too.....i live in the middle of monster central lol🤔🤔🤔🤔😛😛🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲

@@warbunny13203 I thought there was a sighting by the Metroparks Zoo

I have a tendency to believe someone who admits something as opposed to deny it

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

There's always a grain of truth to every story, tale, lie & confession.

The real monsters will always be mankind.

Said to myself, hey, it's Saturday, Darkness should have a new video out by now! When l checked and saw that you do, l literally yelled out loud, "yaaay" 😅 l'm such a dweeb, but a happy dweeb. Thx Darkness, you and your family have an awesome wkd! ❤ Patty

Why, in sooo many stories, are the poor deer always gettin it!! 😢 The first story was very creepy though, good one.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Same. Believe, but not real wild to see.

[@SammyW.C.]

EVERYONE needs to burn their banana hammocks! Lolol

[@Alcadeias123]

One thing that the first story reminded me of is something I thought to be a good guideline. If the area you're in has little to or no other people then that should always be a sign to turn right back round and leave. Some of these monster stories have started, after all, with there being absolutely no other people there or only those that have to be there or the few already there leaving seemingly the split second the people in the story arrive.

[@johnathanglynnnieves3759]

Tell em

[@jaredphillips129]

Banner Elk isn’t abandoned. It’s just around the mountain from Boone.

[@ananslator3655]

Perhaps the creature from story three was a moth man

I love the stories, but have a hard time with the hard G's in words ending in "ng". Long-guh, strong-guh, wrong-guh, bang-guh...Have had to hit chilling tales when it gets to be too much, but do still enjoy your channel a bunch. I'm picky, I suppose, but still enjoy what you're doing.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Don't move to the South or listen to Southern Cannibal his pronunciations are even harder. I love it though.
