It has saved me a few times. I learned early on to follow my gut feeling, i once avoided a dangerous car crash because i trusted my instincts and stayed home. My friend crashed his car the same night he asked me to join a car trip. Flipped over the car at high speed and one of the three people in his car got major injuries. There have been more gut feeling moments but that one could've been fatal, especially when you see the side of the car that had the empty seat. It was crushed/caved in completely.

Tell me about it. I live in the woods here in Australia. A place I've been camping at for almost 2 years. But recently I've had some trouble with a psycho. Not sure if it's young teens or somebody older but the bastard has been stalking me with a drone for around 18 months and only recently 11 September this year my tent was wrecked and they tried to drag the tent away and throw it into a creek. The local police are useless bastards too. They don't give a damn and won't do a thing about my tent being damaged but if I was to defend myself I'd be facing charges and possibly jail. I can't even phone police anymore because I've been charged with threatening the police and ordered to not contact the police.

[@HomeStudioBasics]

Your gut is always right. I'll tell you a story. I used to drive for Uber delivering food and was in an apartment complex one night making a delivery. Went up the stairs to the apt. to drop the food off and saw this guy brush past me looking super pissed. We didn't make eye contact, but I looked at his eyes before looking away and something felt off. Thought it was a bit strange. I delivered the order and went back down the stairs to my car. Now, normally between orders and while waiting for a new one I would just wait in the car so as not to waste gas driving around. I was on my phone just diddling around when I saw the guy again walking rather slowly on the sidewalk. It didn't look abnormal per se, but something wasn't right and I had that gut feeling which told me to leave immediately. Under normal circumstances, I would never do so. I'm a Christian so I attribute it to the Holy Spirit giving me a nudge. In any event, as soon as I start the car, and I mean the SPLIT SECOND that the engine turned over, he whips his head back at me like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie. Now I'm getting a little antsy. So I pull out and I'm just casually driving away (and I have no choice but to drive right past him) when he crosses from the sidewalk into the street right in front of my car while walking super slow and blocking me. At this point, it's getting really awkward, so I roll down my window about to say something like "Are you alright, dude?" but I think better of it and say nothing. So imagine he's in the middle of the road in front of me, but there's like this loopy roundabout/turn around thing that goes basically to the left, circles around a patch of grass, and then comes out at the main strip that exits the complex. So instead of going past him awkwardly, I take that, and right as I'm about to make the left to leave, the dude starts running full speed at my car from the right. And when I tell you full speed, imagine the T1000 from Terminator 2 when he's chasing them through the parking garage and outside LMAO. Literally, I'm not exaggerating. It's like he was on PCP or something. He honestly looked and behaved superhuman which to this day still sends chills down my spine. In any event, my whole body went into fight or flight and I slammed my foot on the gas as hard as I could while booking it out of there at 45 mph while he was STILL CHASING MY CAR!! And I drove stick at the time xD The craziest thing about it is that he caught up to me for maybe a second or 2 before I outran him. Got one last look at him slowing down before frantically getting the f out of there. Definitely the most bizarre experience of my life and something I will never forget. And you can bet your ass I carry now lol.

I took my little brother camping in the “off season” winter in California many years ago. I backpack, fish, trail run, and rock climb in the western US so I spend a lot of time outdoors. We were just hoping to hike during the day, cookout, and camp. There was no attendant to the campground and it was empty other than one other person at an RV. We camped on the far side of the grounds from that man who was sitting in a chair facing our direction. He didn’t seem too friendly and didn’t wave back to us. That night, items started going missing from our camp. Silently. Non food or scented items so less likely to be an animal doing this. The last straw was I walked my little brother to the stall toilet and when I turned around, the toilet paper roll I set outside the door for him was taken while I was rummaging in my car parked 10 yards or so away. My brother asked for the toilet tissue and I discovered it missing. It was a still and dry night. Not windy. Somebody was messing with us. We immediately packed and left. We suspected that other fella wanted the campground to himself. People are so strange. To sound like a typical American, I am armed in certain forests or certain areas of a forest. Lots of other Americans are. In California we struggle with illegal drug growers even after legalization of marijuana so there are unfortunately some unsavory characters who don’t want others around.

​​​​@@NoviceWildCamper I am in the UK, too. You say you don't believe in them, but we do have our version of Sasquatch etc., over here. Many people over here have had encounters with them and shared their experiences via you tube channels Perhaps best you research and listen to them. Perhaps 20 years ago, long before I was aware of any of this, in daylight I was on a walk 'up North' through woodland with my now ex. We randomly came across, for want of a better description, a tee-pee kind of construction. It eerily surprised us, and we kind of explained away what it was. A couple of years ago I subsequently stumbled upon people's descriptions and clear photographic evidence of what our Sasquatch build. It was the same as I had seen. The thrown rocks you found near you plus the branches landing with such accuracy, plus the crashing sounds: all typical Sasquatch behaviour, letting you know they were there, and didn't want you in their 'home.' Same as the ex park ranger shared with you above - and he should know: many have had encounters with creatures that supposedly do not exist, but actually do. We just occasionally visit their home environment so will always be 'rookies,' and mostly oblivious to what lives in our woods and forests, that doesn't want to be found or seen. On another walk around about the same time, I felt a peculiar not great feeling wash over me, like approaching a 'force field,' as we got closer. I said it seemed we were not welcome, so we changed route. A suggestion for you: when out driving and walking in the woodland etc., out loud say you are only visiting and respectfully ask for their permission to enter, and for their protection whilst you are there. That you respectfully mean them no harm whatsoever and ask for safe passage whilst you are there. When you say that, 'wait' to then feel their response. Then you will know what to do.

I've camped out in all sorts of locations ever since I was a kid, and in all those years have only had one encounter similar to yours. It was in Cornwall, with a couple of mates, when I was about 18 or 19. We had been hiking along the remains of a disused railway line, and had set up camp in a clearing opposite what appeared to be a badly ruined halt. It really was in the middle of nowhere, and we hadn't seen a soul for a good couple of hours - not a tourist spot, for sure. Once we'd settled down for the night we started to hear the usual night sounds; like you say, nocturnal animals going about their business. Then, after a while, we began to hear what sounded like footsteps in the undergrowth. All three of us stopped talking, and focused on the sounds, which seemed to get close, then stop - but when they started again seemed to be further away, and coming from a different direction. We decided that we'd had enough, and jumping out of the tent, would confront the prankster. However, before we could do so, the footsteps started coming from the railway platform, with the unmistakable sound of someone pacing up and down on concrete. I don't mind telling you we were shitting ourselves. This seemed to last forever, until the sound of a door slamming shut, and then total silence. We sat huddled together, too scared to even turn on the torch. Once it got light we packed up and got the hell out. However, (and this I still cannot explain after all these years) is that there were no doors on the halt. It was a totally derelict shell. And yet all three of us distinctly heard the sound of a door being slammed. Weird, just utterly baffling.

Thanks. I am generally very switched on a rational. I can camp anywhere and not be afraid of sounds and movement as all can be explained. That place just simply put the shivers up me. No other explanation than that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@davestuddert4392]

I agree. He seems very levelheaded & took a logical approach to the circumstances that occurred. In Australia, people seem overly concerned with snakes & spiders. In my opinion people are the most dangerous. In order to make videos creators need to light themselves or we wouldn't see anything,. Therein lies the problem. When I go camping by myself, I know that light, sound & movement are big giveaways. No fires (only gas/spirit cookers) Torches are used sparingly (if at all) & are "shrouded" if used. Velcro, zips & "crackly" polyethylene/nylon tarps are slowly & quietly deployed. All my gear is subdued in colour. Adhering to these principles have resulted in me never being harassed (by authorities or weirdos alike) . My philosophy is: "They can't find you to hassle you if they don't know you're there"

[@NoviceWildCamper]

The way I see it is there's nothing in this country that can harm you really so as long as your level headed you can get over and rationalise most noises but this was just odd. I too keep this as stealth as possible and never have a fire except for that time as I wanted to show the new firebox I was gifted. People were even commenting. Saying 'you need. Massive torch so you can see these people and blind them' I don't bring massive torches for that simple reason.

In time, you will get used to the creaks of trees, the snuffling of hedgehogs, the screams of foxes and the movement of critters in the grass that you can't see. Give yourself time, you will get used to it and you will be able to enjoy spending the night in woods.

It took me about 2 hours to get back in the pitch black, and I had to flatten the seats to lie down.......ended up shivering in my sleeping bag until the sun came up!

When you guys go back, I would be looking up with careful attention. I would be thinking about taking a careful survey of all the trees within a 50ft radius of where you were located. Looking for signs of a tree perch of some kind where he goes. Can you imagine the fun you guys could have when you find his hideout spot?

I drove right up past Skye in Scotland to this wooded area in August 2022, i passed about 3 or 4 little cottages and a big house then nothing else for about another 10-15 miles at least, just hills and great scenery. I walked for about 30 minutes into this wooded area and found a nice little spot and got my gear all set up, tent and cooking equipment etc. It was total silence not a bird chirping, not a stick falling just completely quiet which made me a bit uneasy as i've camped my whole life pretty much and there's always been some sort of noises. I made myself some food just before the darkness came down and after the drive i was quite tired so i got into my tent to hunker down for the night, as i was laying there trying to nod off i kept saying to myself how strange it was that it was so quiet and i actually found it difficult to fall asleep as i'm so used to background noise while camping. I eventually fell asleep at around 10:30pm, then i woke up just after 1am with this unbelievable feeling of fear which i had never felt before, the sort of feeling you have when you wake up during the worst nightmares. I had to get out my tent and just sort of gather myself and have a quick look around which i did but something just felt really weird, that quiet peaceful place that i had found earlier and set up camp in suddenly felt creepy and the quietness had completely gone, even though the breeze was less than it was when i had arrived i could hear what sounded like someone exhaling right next to me but was lasting about 20 seconds then stopping, this happened about 4 times then stopped. I stood there with my torch looking around but absolutely nothing to be seen apart from bushes and trees. I got back into my tent and lay there almost contemplating walking back through the woods to my car but in that darkness even with a torch i kept thinking i would get lost or fall somewhere so i eventually fell back asleep. I was sleeping not even 10 minutes and i woke up with someone whistling, not a bird or anything like that it was 100% a human whistle and was like the sort of whistle tune an old man would do but i had never heard the tune before, i literally jumped up and got out the tent and it stopped. I was about to shout hello or something along those lines when the creepiest giggling echoed towards me, like a little toddlers giggle you hear in horror films and i literally felt my whole body tingle like someone had poured freezing water over me, i grabbed my torch and switched it on but the light was really dim and flickering which didn't make sense as it had great batteries that i had just replaced and have always lasted me about 3 camping nights (spare batteries were in the car) I literally had no choice but to stay where i was so instead of getting back in my tent and laying down i sat sort of half way in the tent leaning on a pillow sort of against it. The next thing i know i'm waking up and it's light, my neck and back is aching from the way i've fallen asleep, i start sort of rubbing my eyes and stretching then i remember the crazy stuff from earlier and jump up and out the tent to have a quick look around before getting my stuff together and couldn't believe what i saw, a big circle marked right around my little camp as if someone had scrapped it with their feet and just outside the circle scraped into the dirt were the words 'you go now' I literally grabbed my bag and started jogging back towards where my car was and didn't even bother about the tent or my sleeping bag, all the way back to the car i just had the worst feeling that someone or something was following me but i just kept jogging/running and eventually got back to my car. I drove about 2 hours and only stopped when i came across a little shop and a few people taking pictures just to try and get some normality back. I have never camped again and don't think i ever will, certainly not on my own anyway. To this day i do not have a clue what happened that night or how it actually could have happened as i know i would have woken up with that being scraped into the ground around my tent? Even for weeks after it i would lie awake at nights replaying it over and over, it was literally in the middle of nowhere not a house within miles it just doesn't make sense. If somebody else was there they would surely be someone similar to myself maybe camping aswell and not somebody at the wynd up away out there and how did i not wake up when they wrote that on the ground or done the circle round the tent?

With animals and islands they shrink over time. Perhaps if we do have something like this. Perhaps it has adapted. England 12000 years ago was more or less coast to coast woodland. Hunter gatherers stayed on the outskirts and travelled rivers and streams also prior to 12000 bc sea level was much lower connecting UK to Europe and also we had the beringian land bridge between America and east Asia. If such a beast/being exited, there is no reason to suspect it wasn't everywhere to some degree.

As a FINNISH person who has lived most of his life surrounded by forests... I'd say those sounds you heard were a pack of deers.

Normally deer would run when faced with a human here though. I've experienced it loads but these didn't. If I went and looked or shone my torch it just stopped and went quiet. It just wasn't like any other camp I've had when I've experienced all sorts of British wild life I know their noises and how they react but this just felt different and not normal.

[@pepperooli]

Deer can not throw rocks., pick up trees and move or throw them, or scream the way a Sasquatch can. I've heard one when I was 14 late at night right outside my house. I have never forgotten the fear I felt.

[@alphadan3420]

I went camping near the peak District last year and I was discussing with a friend about Bigfoot and how they allegedly communicate by banging on trees with a heavy piece of wood .After demonstrating how I thought they did this we thought nothing of it afterwards.I was staying in my campervan down the hill and he was staying up in the forest in his tent.About 4am my friend was awakened by the exact banging on a nearby tree.Thinking i was playing some kind of joke on him he was expecting me to show my face .I was sound asleep in my van about 1 mile away!It really put him on edge just like you. There is so much more that we don't know out there in the wild that remains a mystery !

[@NoviceWildCamper]

That does sound creepy. There's definitely stuff out there we don't know about. Scientists are constantly finding new life we never new about and others that were thought to be extinct. 👍

[@raven-wf9so]

I’ve wild camped all over the peaks for years , you do get fell runners , mountain bikers , hikers , raf low flying aircraft , and all the woodland creatures you expect , I’ve never heard a single tree banging or anything remotely like this, I would bet this was a hiker or biker cleaning there shoes of mud !

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@raven-wf9so 🤣

[@babe9952]

Yeah I've seen Bigfoot an have some photos of his feet in snow. That is how they communicate by taking branches an wakin them on trees. An rock throwing is territorial. Friends an I one night was in the convertible driving late at night out into the woods in Indiana an we was on the road it was pavement. But on the side stood fucing bigfoot. Me an another friend saw it. It was so tall over the car it was crazy. Then in my YARD there was tracks from something walking barefoot with huge feet seven feet apart on steps.. take a step seven feet another step seven feet.. nuts. Was the only prints in the snow also 23 inch long foot.

[@jasonahdjfhsdfg]

Wow this happened to me and my friend. He was telling me this exact thing about communicating with them through banging sticks on trees, I thought he was a bit crazy to be honest, but he did it , and immediately I mean within a second we got 3 bangs back. Did it again got two bangs back and one more time 1 single bang. There’s no way it could have been a person as it was coming from thick undergrowth in the forest where we were, and they would have been had to have been waiting stick in hand ready to bang. It was so weird. Turned me into a believer.

[@aknudsen93]

What a scary experience. It sounds like someone may be living rough and you, unfortunnately, entered their space. We have big forest preserves by me, I live in a suburb of a big city, however, you do see men who will live outside in these forest preserves. I'm glad that you're alright.

The plot thickens

[@StormyPeak]

I'm now 60 years old, and I'm a woman. Back in my 20s and 30s I use to solo camp. I live in Idaho, and so owning a handgun was never an issue. I had two dogs I would take with me. They were not my guard dogs, but my watch dogs. I was the one in charge of my protection and the revolver my dad gave to me when I turned 18 and moved out of the house, was what made me feel safe in the forest. I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, or bigfoot...and I was far more concerned about the two legged predator than I was of any 4 legged one. There are bears, cougars, wolves, and coyotes in my area. And too, deer, elk, and moose moving around can make for scary noises. As said, I wasn't really afraid of the critters. It was other humans, specifically, men who might try to take advantage of a young woman camping alone. I never had any thing weird happen, except for one time, when I had a whole mountain lake to myself - and I was sitting outside my tent just before dusk. Both of my dogs suddenly stood and looked in the direction of the lake that was downhill from where I was camping. They didn't growl, but their hackles were up. I heard...one 'crash' as though something big went through some deadfall and that was it. The dogs within 45 seconds were relaxed again, so I think what they heard, or smelled might have been a large elk headed down to the lake, or maybe even a bear or cougar. The dogs were fine the rest of the night and I never heard anymore bumps in the night. But I won't lie...lol. The handgun was very close to my sleeping bag that night...closer than where I usually put it...still within reach, but again, not like I had it that night.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

That's the thing with this country. We can't carry guns but also we don't have any predators that could kill us either apart from other nutters in the woods 😂 I heard the noises of every natural creature and know them well and find them comforting but this time it was just odd. Something not right. My gut was telling me to get out. 👍

[@StormyPeak]

@@NoviceWildCamper As I mentioned, I'm a woman...and I think most women really understand at a deep level what you were feeling and many of us are really good at recognizing it and Acting upon it. I honestly believe this is an ingrained biological safety thing that comes with being a woman. I think men have a milder version of it, but often do not react to it, when they feel it, or it might not be strong enough to even get their attention. So when they do react, it must be something pretty dangerous that woke up some primitive part of one's subconsciousness that understands something isn't right. You were right to leave. I wouldn't be surprised if dangerous men/or a man were nearby. Hope you keep listening to that inner gut feeling. I also know that most places outside of the USA won't allow guns. But maybe you can check the regulations to see if pepper spray, or some other non lethal device can be used. And if nothing else, sleep with a hand axe, or a large knife near you....tools one would use for camping, but can also be used to protect one's self if it came down to it. Stay safe : )

[@CarolinaRaine]

I started camping out at my grandparents home just about every weekend. My Granddad would let me use his camping gear to play house outside as far back as I could remember. Then my cousins and I were all between ages 5-8 and would camp out back in the early 70’s right outside my grandparents bedroom so I grew up loving camping out doors. It escalated in my teens and young adult years and into my early 30’s by going to the River to camp. If we went into groups we would bring a tire to light fires during the real colder weather. My granddad was a hunter so I never got to go camping with him. Alone I had one specific place that I loved going to which was the Pee Dee river right near the shoreline and it had a lot of brush surrounding the area except near the shoreline where I had a pretty good size of a clearing for my tent. Once I arrive there I would first setup tin cans or jingle bells surrounding my campsite and I never went without my weapon right beside me in the tent. If I heard those tin cans or bells I would pop up like a jack-n-the box and it allowed me enough time to make sure I was awake and holding my protection before anyone got to me. I had more young lovers walking up to my campsite than anything else and of course they would be drinking. I had more times with zero disturbances than anything. The reason I loved this place was it did limit people driving up since it required a 4x4 to get there but the last 1/4 mile of the road was a steep uphill climb and the final stopping point was on a flat surface, so you would be at the highest point atop la fairly large hill with such a beautiful scenic area by day and night if you were fortunate enough to come on a full moon night. I would setup my campfires atop the hill and cook and eat there during hotter months. The drop off point overlooking the river I would say was 12 to 14 ft high. I caught many glimpses of the full moon there. In my teen years at the top of that hill it was covered in trees so the stopping point was much further back on the road and you had to walk the remainder. You could only fit maybe 3 medium size tents atop the large hill in different spots between trees. Then one weekend during my teen years I came with my best friend and it had been at least a month I had been camping but someone came and cut down every tree a top of that hill and even hauled the trees away and if I had to guess there were at least 35 to 40 trees that were cut down. It was so amazing though because you could see out across the river from all 3 sides of the hill. I camped on the hill after that day only when I had a friend with me otherwise I was off on the right side camping off the barricaded in safety. Kept my campsite cooler at night. My campsite was really camouflaged through some brush just off the right hand side of that same road with low hanging tree branches just before you would come to a small clearing. I would park my jeep behind some brush up to my knees and between 2 trees on the right hand side of the road. I lived within 10 miles of that river. You wouldn’t know I was there camping until you would run into the tin cans hid inside brush and they would be more scared than myself because 9/10 they had their girlfriends with them screaming. There were a couple times the teenager boys would start showing me a little more attention than their girl because they couldn’t believe they came across a 30ish year old woman camping alone with weapons. I wasn’t married and loved every minute of it until a girlfriend would start arguing wanting to leave. Most of these teenagers would walk down this road or drive up with a dirt bike or 4 wheelers. Over the years there have been a few women who have passed away from committing suicide by jumping off however one ruling changed when it turned out to be the spouse who had pushed her off. A military plane of some kind fell into the river nearly 20 years ago and several life’s were lost on that day! They say there is catfish the size of an average man in this river. Hoped you enjoyed my story!!

If I didn’t get the experience at such a young age and started this later in life, I believe this would be completely different. Such as 2 people at all times. I had a chance to go riding on a horse when I was pregnant in my 2nd trimester so I discussed this with my doctor. I had rode horses before a number of times but not on any pattern routine. He said absolutely not because it’s not part of your normal routine prior to my pregnancy. My body would’ve been prepared for the ride through muscle memory. The percentage of me getting hurt on my own horse would’ve been very slim chance. I hope that makes sense!

@@NoviceWildCamper understandable, I myself am just a paranoid sleeper, even in my apartment 😬. Sometimes the kids get caught in the booby traps though jk.

Wow that was intense. I think some places are different. I love being in the wood and countryside, but there are places that feel like your not wanted there no matter wat time it is or weather. There is some woods local to me and in broad daylight I can't wait to get away from the place. Dog hates it as well

It's certainly amplified in the woods with all then natural creatures and the sounds they make tracking over twigs and through bushes but this just wasn't normal. Never felt like this before 😬

That's usually a predator being in the area.

​@@roughroadstudioor spirits/entities, when you think of all the rituals and murders/sacrifices that have been going on in any ancient wood, they have got to be the most haunted places you can find
