Americas Most DANGEROUS National Park | Woodlands National Park

Buddy Films: @BuddyFilms
In todays video we take a look at an analog horror series about a National Park in America. But this isn't your normal National Park... Woodlands National Park contains many anomalous creatures, plants and entities. All of these things are a huge threat to parkgoers but the park is somehow still open. What's the true intention behind the owners of the park? Where did all these creatures come from? And is there a way to stop all the deaths of the parkgoers?

[@vanillamilkshake9696]

I have a theory about the park rangers: They are normal park rangers who weren't told about the true nature of the park and now can't quit working there because the higher ups at the park are essentially holding them hostage so the secrets of the park don't get out. In the memorial video, they seem tired and one of them even says: "I'm depressed and exhausted" They clearly want to quit but they can't, as if someone is forcing them to stay. They also beg the dead camera man's wife to take the money and run, as if they're urging her to do what they can't while she still has a chance...

[@dcornect53]

I remember hearing that if you encounter a wendigo, according to legend, you just ignore it. aggressively ignore it. Like they will come up around you, and even sit at the campfire with you, but your life depends on you trying to avoid eye-contact (with the empty eye sockets), and NEVER talk to it, even and especially if it talks to you. Like you should never even shout at it to go away, it will just leave on its own if you keep acting like it isn't there. You also shouldn't take anything it offers or offer it anything.

[@randomgirlontheinternet1735]

I thought wendigos were just wild "animals" that are always starving, not that they were chill like that 💀

[@Slippery-bag66]

They're Humana who fell to their greed and cannibalistic tendencies

[@dcornect53]

My theory on it, from remembering what I heard is that they were humans who became like animals, but they lost touch with their humanity and became empty with their hunger for power. I know there are some cultures who have stories of humans who choose to become beast-like in order to gain power over another, just as there are beast who act like humans to gain trust and cooperation. This is due to the cultural view that everything, from the jaguars to the humans to the spirits and the forest itself, all have selfhood and will, and can be civil, but when one act savage and beast-like they can gain control by diminishing your selfhood and elevate their own. Therefore by ignoring the attempts of the wendigo to diminish your selfhood, by causing you to fear them or petty them, you remind them of that civil humanity they have discarded, and refuse to feed into their exertion of will, their manipulation of power which they craved so much it made them hollow inside. And so they leave, as they know who there is the "self" and who is the "it", and therefore who has lost the power the wendigo craves.

[@Slippery-bag66]

@@dcornect53 How much time did you spend on this??

[@dcornect53]

@@Slippery-bag66 idk. I did a paper on the anthropologist who made the whole ecology of selves concept with cultural beliefs of werejaguars (known as Runa-Puma) because that's just how anthropology degrees work (It was from "How Forests Think" by Eduardo Kohn). Even though that research was from the Upper Amazon, and the wendigo are more a north USA-South Canada belief, considering there was precolonial trade routes that went from the Upper Amazon half way up into Canada, it isn't too wild an assumption that the same ecology of selves and man becoming beast/ beast becoming man cultural concepts/ logic/ beliefs coukd have been spread that far, especially when shamans even closer to middle Canada have/ had similar beliefs that are/ were used in practices. For example Skinwalkers, which more historically had use the same human-becoming-beast practice (but controlled, and used for a justified reason, by putting on the skin of an animal) in the same way that a SWAT person wears gear to help them elevate their power over another, making them more of a self than the one getting swatted (seen more as a target, an "it", than a person, a "self"). So it was just the typing it up after applying that logic to the story of the wendigo that took actual time. As for this explanation, it did take me longer because I had to look up how far up the skinwalker belief is on a map. I am not too knowledgeable of the layout of the USA.

I’m a folklorist, and I grew up very close to one of the largest reservations in the US. I’ve already said this many times before: _the wendigo is not beastly._ I don’t know where the whole animal-skull-head imagery came from, but it’s a load of malarkey. It has always, _always_ been described to me as a pale, extremely emaciated human. Nothing more, nothing less. The wendigo itself isn’t even a physical entity - it’s a spirit of unquenchable hunger that possesses a human (traditionally those who resort to cannibalism in times of famine). I mean, why would a spirit that craves _human flesh_ want to wear a deer skull as a hat?

[@fairyfoxey9438]

It was just something hollywood conned because it was "scarier"...not even trying to be accurate (typical hollywood). Sadly, most who didn't know any better thought that's what Wendigo's look like, and it spread fast to the point most believe it; only those experienced in the tales know what it really looks like and acts like, or those who've taken the time to actually research them.

[@mattuwu9978]

@@fairyfoxey9438 the most accurate depiction I’ve seen in media (so far) is the Wendigo from _Until Dawn_ because - surprise, surprise - the developers actually made the effort to consulted Native American folklorists. Personally, I think it’s a lot scarier than whatever that deer head thing is. It’s not a beast; it’s a human, just like you and I, who succumbed to the most primal manifestation of greed. The Wendigo embodies and reflects human selfishness, the ceaseless desire for _more_ regardless of who is hurt in the process. Indigenous folklore emphasizes reciprocity/natural balance. The entire point of Wendigo Sickness is a lesson to never take more than what you need. The mining crew in _Until Dawn_ not only became possessed as a consequence of starvation, but they also act as an allegory for the greed inherent to mining. Taking from the Earth and providing nothing in return begets punishment.

[@zackince8803]

Unfortunately it is just Hollywood ruining things as usual

[@Gun_Flint]

I think the version with the deer skull is actually scarier, and seems more mysterious. Personally, when there are multiple interpretations of a cryptid, I headcannon it so they are different entities/creatures that are misidentified.

[@mattuwu9978]

@@Gun_Flint it may be more mysterious and fit the classical aesthetic of a western cryptid, but I still view it as a disrespectful interpretation. Stripping the Wendigo of its humanistic aspects also strips away the _meaning_ of it as a manifestation of greed and selfishness; an antithetical to the cultural and religious beliefs of reciprocity/balance. The very fulcrum of indigenous folklore and creatures are the lessons embedded within - they wouldn’t exist otherwise.

[@leandrolahiteau8162]

I gotta say i LOVE how they all acted, i hope to see more of these because it feels very real idk, even with the tactical team and their gun handling, the way they moved etc was still believable, but especially its one of the first times i actually felt the fear of an ongoing life or death situations, the only moments where something felt out of place were the "Ooo im tryna hide here but ill keep my flashlight on". And apart from the acting i love the ranger characters, they give me this vibe of being very good hearted people who are being put into this situation and are doing the best they can, especially when they/one of them helped Nancy stay safe and away from these whole ordeal for the sake of the children the best and only way they could (With their power).

I love how in the same video as it said "don't run. they love it when you run." one of them sees a wendigo and then proceeds to fucking book it out of there.

He’s standing right there and you can’t even see him is good horror logic. The amount of times someone has told me there’s someone behind me. It’s always a foreboding feeling no matter who it is.

About the Lost camp far from Dead Man’s Trail, The blood isn’t dry. Therefore, it was very recent and the bodies were just taken away by The Wendigo.

[@sunshineandrei2569]

The video's are for newer park rangers to know what to do. Also, all of these videos are on record 100 years after the first cave critter sightings. Meaning this park has been under wraps for awhile. Also they most likely only stay because they're in too deep and being a ranger is safer because most of the creatures appear to be non-hostile except Wendigo. (Walker defended itself or was guarding it's territory and cave critters live in seclusion.) These beings are basically just wild animals but much more deadly.

[@SemicolonExpected]

That is interesting how walkers are only a problem if you arent in a designated camping area, that seems to be inline with why in the walker video the ranger says to ignore the static if you dont hear ranger ranger back bc its a walker rather than to gtfo bc its a walker.

[@sunshineandrei2569]

@@SemicolonExpected walkers themselves seem to be similar to hippo's, highly aggressive but only if you enter their turf. Otherwise they're docile. Both are highly dangerous but only if you don't take precautions. Walkers are only threatening because you can't see them.

[@helenwang5237]

I love that already 2 people in separate videos just immediately thought it was ok to lock themselves in the tent making them more vulnerable

[@kentario1610]

I mean, we know it's illogical, especially if they don't turn off their lights or stop making noise, but it is instinct to seek a safe place, and the safest place nearby is a temporary home, something to cover you from sight. It might even work if the other steps were taken, but a tent is definitely just a candy wrapper for a monster.

[@helflower2025]

[@fayebrown9874]

The heavy breathing coming from the scared out-of-his-mind cameraman has the same effect on the viewer as scary music does in a horror film. It tells the viewer that they are getting closer to something scary and dangerous. Good job, cameraman! I'll bet that you had NO idea that you had also contributed to the audio of this film, in such a way that added so much meaning to what they were facing.

[@neraxsusurius534]

Those Cave Crawlers bite must change change the person who’s bitten Genetics, meaning 45% chance to kill them (from the change to a humans genetics could cause a irreversible damage that can kill them), 45% chance to change them (meaning the person’s DNA perfectly changed, without them dying), and the 10% is either from the lack of whatever they inject into their victims OR some people have a natural immunity to it, or even if the Crawler’s bite injection just decayed before they could finish.

[@andyghkfilm2287]

39:09 it’s really wild how cases of the Cave Critter Disease are so rare, the last one occurred before the park rangers in charge now were even born. It’s like, imagine being a young groundskeeper for New York City’s Central Park, and finding out that someone who went to the Central Park Zoo may have caught the fucking Bubonic Plague from one of the exhibits there. My reaction would also be “WHAT? What the HELL??”

Hopefully they add more, this kinda reminds me of SCP where the creatures are contained and are kept secret though I also get serpents hand vibes since the creatures are out in the open and not in cells.

[@fadelsukoco3092]

To be fair, there are a lot of SCP anomalies that the Foundation can't effectively or feasibly contain conventionally, so they settle on keeping it to an easily-secluded area that they can keep the public off in order to maintain the Veil of normalcy. The Serpent's Hand on the other hand, is more about working with intelligent (mostly humanoid) anomalies and protecting them from other parties.

Dude that camera man dodged a BULLET. Man if those guys weren't there he was a goner. The whole park is kinda crazy and I think that this whole Analog Horror is really great and Steve and Alex need a raise XD. I wonder how long it took to make this whole analog and how it was made as if it was like a side project or what. I think that it would be crazy if this whole thing was like a psy op designed by this "Dyier Corp".

[@Tyr-qz2lo]

I think one of the more unique things about this series is the usage of live action footage. Nothing against other creators, but it is nice to see something that wasn’t made entirely in Blender.

At first, I was really glad that they were covering the indigenous origins of the wendigo! Then, I saw the picture of the creature. In actual lore, wendigos are similar in appearance to that of a skinwalker, and I do have my own theories, but that's not the point. They are malicious fae with the ability to induce cannibalistic tendancies towards the people near them. I think that maybe, they might feast just as much on fear as they do flesh, for their hunger is neverending, but eh. They're skinny, pale, fur-less, and definitely trigger the uncanny valley. Glad they got something right, though!!

[@brendanmorris2679]

Honestly i prefer the massive necro-deer interpretation.

[@LimblessAnt]

I don't think fae is the right word, just a spirit. I believe fae are creatures in English/Irish folklore

[@aeiztaloraezi7687]

while i agree with your comment, i will say you describing as 'fae' is a bit.. odd? can't say that's ever come across before in all my reading about mythology (which is a lot cause Special Interest lol) As someone else mentioned, I'd say wendigos are more akin to a spirit of somekind than a fae creature

[@blu7384]

Wendigo aren’t fae lol. Fae is from European lore. The Wendigo in the common lore is a human who committed “an act of selfishness”(aka cannibalism or some other form of greedy action) & are cursed to forever hunger, eventually morphing into the monster Wendi’s are known to be. Sometimes Wendigo are described as being little more than evil mountain spirits that corrupt people into committing such heinous acts of avarice. As for the deer skull wendigo/ the movie wendigo, I believe that the deer skull wendigo could be plausible as maybe a wendi could’ve killed and eviscerated a deer, not only for its flesh but to use its skull for whatever reason. Whether it be for camouflage or intimidation or protection is unknowable but I think if they have a basic level of intelligence they could know to equip things in their vicinity, especially if mimicry is one of their skills.

I had a very strange experience over 20 yrs ago in a subburb in New Westminster, BC, Canada. I was having trouble sleeping one night. It was August, so very warm weather, I decided to go for a walk. It was 3:30am. Normally, I would not do this in the middle of the night and haven't since, but figured, some exercise might help. The area I walked through had a lot of old character homes. The moon was quite full that night. I was enjoying the quiet neighbourhood as well as the variety of architecture that surrounded me. I was walking on the left side of the street. As I was nearing this one particular home, it stood out. It was a tiny yellow house, in the middle of a huge lot. The other homes in the area where double its size. There was also a steel fence around the property, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement. I remember feeling very nervous. I saw an old lady in a pale blue night dress, or what I thought was a lady, hopping very creepily across her lawn. Her skin was as white as a corpse. What made me inwardly terrified where her legs. The did not look human at all. They look bent simular to those of a deer. So many things went through my mind in those seconds of walking by that yellow house. My intuition told me, don't panic, dont make eye contact, and just pretend your a ghost gliding by through the night. It stopped moving right after, and watched me. I acted as though it wasn't there at all and I was on my own journey. I finally turned up left onto the next street, looked behind me and ran home. Luckily I was only 10 minutes away. I never walked down that street ever again. I cannot explain what I saw that night, but it was not fully human.
