It's like a special campfire talk with dan before bed time! 🔥🔥🌲🌲🐾🐾

[@EhsWorldProductions]

I think that may have been Rick Serra you heard roaming those woods. Probably hunting for asbestos.

[@dustfart466]

I could just seem him peering out from the bushes with those glasses of his on.

It's terrifying being quiet in the woods at night and hearing footsteps.

sory bad spelling

[@theresesmilingmoon9186]

This same thing happened to me yrs ago while camping in NORCAL. I was young also. I heard heavy footsteps up to my sleeping bag, alot of fast heavy grunting and then it took off. Scared the shit out of me! back in the 70s.

[@BBB-rd2qi]

I know your comment is four years old, my apologies. I too had that same experience i’m Northern California.

[@judithwatson6859]

"...I love clickbait..." ahahahaha!

[@SusieSynth]

Oh Dan I love these stories especially the 80's ones. I grew up in the 80's as well and I miss it. Great series and soo relaxing.

[@karenculpepper973]

Love these stories you are telling us! Thanks for sharing.

Karen Culpepper sorry some people are insane on here

What is wrong with people that even a nice comment gets whack jobs like this? Ugh.

Yes, with happy little trees! 👍😊

[@_hellohooray]

there was a man and a little boy headed deep into the forest and as it started to get dark the little boy said "I'm scared" and the man replied "you're scared? I have to walk out of here alone." da dun dun

[@Militiaman71]

Couple times in Kanawha County WV back in the mid 90's up a hollow called Witcher Creek we encountered a strange creature at night all we saw was it's eyes reflecting from our flashlights about 7 or 8 feet from the ground and the eyes were about a foot and 1/2 apart. made the hair stand up on back of my neck. The other encounter was also at night and we heard it snapping branches up the hill so we tried to sneak up to get a sighting we must have gotten within 25 yards of it, We just heard a loud screeching noise as it came down the hill at us, we turned and ran as soon as we heard it and i ran into a tree. I think it was satisfied at just scaring us away and didn't actually chase us, or it would have had me. Never actually got to see it though, just the eyes. But A buddy of mines dad swore there was a bigfoot type creature living in those mountains since he was a boy.

[@skyking4501]

Hey, i know Witcher creek very well. There are Sasquatch in them thar hills. I encountered a white Sasquatch about 12 miles East of Witcher creek close to London. That was back in the 60’s.

[@RebelRed]

the crackling fire, the soothing voice and the story. night night everyone! (pity its 10:31am)

I ❤️ quiet little stories ! Dan you have such a pleasant voice ! Just the right thing for me to fall asleep! 💋

[@2snowgirl520]

I bet it was a bum. Something similar happened to me, camping with friends. Heard footsteps and heavy breathing. We're scared, found out we were in a cow pasture and surrounded by cows, lol. Also found we were camping on cow pies! 🐮🐄🧀

[@edgyedgelord1366]

Dan has become an ASMR channel.

[@sallycooper7677]

ASMR is incredibly annoying - Dan is not. lol

[@EphemeralProductions]

EdgyEdgelord: I just love how everyone talks about asmr but no one effing ever says what the hell it is!!! Arrrgh! lol. it seems to be a damn fad to mention it on KZbin comments

[@kimm6189]

EdgyEdgelord Audio Sensory..something something..it is when certain people get stimulated thru hearing certain voices or sounds that give them some kind of sensation..like tingles and a rush or it can be used to calm these individuals who crave those sorts of noises... I know it's strange but it's a real thing... I hope I helped a little bit--have a good one!! 🤔💯🌅

Why am I listening to this creepy story before I go to bed? Great story! 👍

[@merrileeread347]

Great story! You have a gift with story telling.

[@shirleysue228]

I perhaps would have checked for any foot prints the following day.

[@RebelRed]

I would like Dan to call me periodically just to tell me "everything is going to be okay" nothing more... he could start a buisness doing this 😀

[@karenfrye665]

Love the night sounds and crackling fire combined with your chocolaty voice Dan. The story was creepy too. There's a short list of what that could have been and I don't like anything on the list creeping around my tent in the middle of the night!!

[@porridgesilt]

Loving that campfire ambience, Dan.

[@mefzy]

i love these style videos dan!! probably the only videos on youtube i'll pay attention the whole way through.

[@Elmer1953]

So creepy, In my experience, weird shit happens in the middle of nowhere. My family owns a large piece of outback in Australia. So many weird things have happened to me out there, in my otherwise normal and uneventful existence lol

[@andrewmurphy4901]

RMK Could you share some stories from your experience?

[@Elmer1953]

Andrew Murphy Sure Andrew. So I'll just set the scene, this is in south Australia, at least 300km from another soul. Typical Australian outback (so nothingness lol) Used as a family retreat etc. The most common experience is the noises. In the stillness of the night, In what is otherwise dead quiet, I mean DEAD quiet, there are these noises that I've since replicated. The sound of two rocks being smashed together. It's extremely inconsistent. But once it starts, you can hear what sounds like a response from another direction, and it gets loud. Like a person is smashing fist size rocks together. On two distinct occasions, I have heard a distant, but very clear dialogue between 2 people in a language I've never heard. This was the most unsettling thing that I've experienced. My father claims to have seen a tall figure run behind a rock formation, as he approached the formation it continued to stick its head up for a look. upon him reaching the rock formation there was absolutely nobody to be seen. This was in the middle of the day. I've seen things as well, but I have to admit they have always been out the corner of my eye and I can't deny it's probably just a trick of the mind.

[@andrewmurphy4901]

RMK Really chilling stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@breannathompson9094]

RMK hahaha i used to live in the rural southwestern desert and it was so scary. maybe 10 miles to the neighbors let alone anything else. always heard noises at night that definitely was not coyotes or javelina.

[@Elmer1953]

Breanna Thompson haha yeah, you certainly know what noises are normal, and what ones just shouldn't be there.

[@ovationsensation]

This should be called "How to take a short story and stretch it out into a full novel".

[@bobross3080]

He left over the river and through the woods. He must have been going to grandmothers house. It was a bear. Even though nobody has seen a bear it the area doesn't mean it couldn't have been just passing through.

[@vikkinicholson2300]

the bear was listening in the background.

[@itsjuliet05]

Yes! Bed time story by Dan.

[@maryjanias877]

If it was a person, I wonder what they were doing... very creepy. Great story.

[@thatwitchychic170]

Great story, Dan! :D Keep 'em comin'.

[@Wistful77]

David Paulides has claimed to have obtained bigfoot DNA. He also does the 'Missing 411' series, about people gone missing in our National and State parks. Love your story. It couldn't have been a deer. Myself, I've never heard or seen anything that makes me believe in bigfoot existing. Paulides believes. He's written some books about it that perhaps you have read.

[@archangel5627]

I’m a big fan of your videos and your channel. Dan Bell is easily one of my favorite KZbin content creators. I just recently came across these quiet time stories and I must say that I’m truly enjoying them. I don’t know if Dan continues to do these on a semi regular basis due to being very busy filming and editing the Another Dirty Room series as well as the Dead-mall series. I hope we get more of these in the future but in the meantime I’m going to check out the older Quiet Time videos. As always great content and your hard work is greatly appreciated. God bless!

[@DruzyDiamond]

Cool story!!! But I bet it was Smokey The Bear coming to warn you about the fire you fell asleep on lol.

[@dianajemison105]

Love the addition of the campfire sounds. Can't wait for more creepy stories and quiet times. Thanks Dan!

[@MissDsPlace]

There I was, closing my eyes listening as you begin and just as you said "because I love clickbait " then laughed, I started laughing and startled my hubby!!......LOL!!!...you're awesome Dan...lol..just thought I'd listen back to stories I haven't heard 🙂👍😁

[@laurenoneil]

Hell yeah! Thanks man, as always

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

Honestly, Dan, what would a person be doing in the middle in the forest, at night? How did they get out there? Why would they cross a river only to stand outside your tent, breath heavily and leave? And where would they have gone? Not saying it was definitely Bigfoot, but a person being out there just doesn't seem likely.

[@toneofease]

Kurt Yarish Good point

[@porridgesilt]

Kurt Yarish It was probably a young Rick.

[@jenclark3021]

Kurt Yarish and walking through the river, twice, on a cold night?! Very very strange. And creepy.

[@liliyaarvolkskaya6668]

[@viperkiller8881]

Wtf pretty weird

[@soonermimi53]

I enjoyed your quiet little story, Dan. It was very interesting. I think this is a good type story a person could listen to in the middle of the night when one wakes up. I'm looking so forward to the next one!

[@brapting1]

first time i listened to this in bed i actually fell asleep, your voice dan is pretty hypnotic and relaxing!, you make some awesome videos! , keep up the good work!

[@LisaSimpson2]

Love these quiet little stories Dan. Make great bed time stories and your voice is so relaxing, familiar and soothing to listen to. Really hope you pursue this and do more of these as your really good at it. Keep up the great work! :-)

[@honeykisses1987]

Who here thinks Dan should start an audiobook?

[@SusieSynth]

I love the crackling fire sounds. I feel like im at camp telling stories around the fire! Awesome!

[@SarahNova]

It took me three try's to watch the whole thing because I kept falling asleep to this soothing video lol please make more!

Great story, Dan! That must have scared the crap out of you! I'm looking forward to more of these.

[@nowyatsilentdust2072]

I love all the wide variety of different series you make. I like the artiest ones best. I like the almost horror feel. It's all good. Thank you sir!

[@lennymutt]

Dan I love listening to your voice in these, plus the stories themselves are very entertaining. And if this would have happened to me I probably would have had a heart attack D:

[@Kaelyn99]

pleeeaseee make more of these story time videos! weirdly they make me relax/fall asleep so easily bc you explain it so well it’s like a little movie playing in my head and it gets my mind off other things lol

[@JesusIsTheGoodSheppard]

Thank you for sharing your stories. Very relaxing.

[@jennyh444]

I would have looked out of the tent, especially if I was carrying a firearm and the moon was illuminating the countryside. I would have wanted to see exactly what that was.

[@pamelahicks517]

It had to be a person or Bigfoot. Why would a person deliberately go crashing through brush and a thickly wooded area; cross a river; stand outside your tents breathing heavily for a while; grunt and turn around and go back the way it came in the wee hours of the morning in the dark? It must have had night vision goggles. Think about it Dan. Bears don't walk distances like that on two legs. Deers don't walk on two legs, ever. Maybe it was an escaped baboon or gorilla from a zoo, but they primarily walk on all fours. Maybe it was an alien walking around in the forest at night and luckily decided not to abduct any or all of you. I don't know if aliens breathe heavily or make grunting noises. Anyway it was an interesting story. Did your dad ever talk about it later at any time? He was smart to get his rifle.

[@sXeblues]

Would love to see/hear some more of these, as time permits... They're great, and bring back a lot of memories of odd occurrences during time spent at my grandparents' farm in New Jersey!

[@mareekatz]

wow this was an awesome story Dan....I got a little freaked out !!! Keep em coming .

[@Keliimaoli]

These are quite enjoyable Dan, i'm a huge sucker for a good story, and you do a great job story telling!.

[@01sarah29]

I would of made a trip at some point the next day down to the stream and see if there were any kind of traces of foot prints or signs of the banks being disturbed. I'm liking these little stories. Can't wait for the next one.

I'm listening to this in bed in the dark and I actually felt scared! Great story teller Dan :)

[@dusko.9910]

OMG DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......ALMOST THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS 5!!...my family and I were camping at Lake Shelbyville in Illinois..all of the guys had gone night fishing ..it was about 10 and the only people at the campsite were me and my mom and her sister, my aunt. we were in our tent and they were getting me ready for bed and were reading to me.our campsite had woods surrounding every side except the front ..the closest neighbors we had were probably about 7 or 8 sites away, so at the end of the road.My aunt looked at my mom and they went quiet..she said.."Do you hear that?",sounded like an animal rustling around in the leaves..we remained quiet and listened for a few minutes and it stopped. I was just drifting off when we heard what sounded like a horse running through the trees...fast..and loud...then silence...so by this time my mom and aunt are flipping..im just scared shitless..ok...it came toards the tent...our tent was huge..2 rooms..it started walking around the tent...very slowly, we could see the shadow but idk if the fire was messing with the shadow or what but this thing looked like...omg..very tall..it looked very skinny to me but still distorted...it kept standing taller and then crouching down..breathing heavily...and it had what had to be drool or something just oozing out of its mouth...my mom told my aunt to find the keys, they very quietly got dressed, our car was directly forward of the door on the tent...we waited until it got to the back...jumped out..and ran...I just closed my eyes...we got to the car and took off...when they turned the lights on I still had my eyes shut..but I heard my mom saying.."WHAT THE FUCK IS IT OMG OMG..."...so...we went about 90mph down to the lake and managed to find the guys..told them what happened and they laughed at us , of course..went back to the campsite...nothing...no tracks...nothing...everything was fine for the rest of the night.we woke up to my aunt screaming "see look we told you..omg.."...we got out to see what was going on..and to the right of the tent, straight through the woods....was a 5ft wide path...all of the grass pushed down..trees broken...just a solid path....it was not there when we went to sleep...no one heard a thing...it went from our site down a hill , to the water.NO CLUE..maybe I should have story time..i have TONS from my childhood..my mom swears there is a bigfoot in Indiana though..lol...she lived there for a bit before coming back to Illinois...but that's another story

[@madchenbronson8202]

I just went camping two weeks ago and kept thinking I heard someone. We were up in the middle of a mountain with no civilization in site and I was terrified! I was convinced it was a serial killer! Loved your story! Also loved the campfire sound!!

[@DestroyaDoll]

Thanks for this story Dan. I have a special personal connection to West Virginia, despite growing up on the west coast. So, this one was especially enjoyable.

[@thirteenfury]

Omg, I read the Daniel Cohen books as a kid too! Somebody who worked in my grammar school library must have been a huge fan, because it had maybe 10 of his books.

[@3DOBot]

Ever hear of Mothman? Now that is the cryptid that I obsessed over. West Virginia nonetheless.

[@blankslate9599]

TheBlueEyedFox Mothman is the only cryptid that scares me, I don't know why. Edit: I just remembered Dan has a few videos about Mothman on his channel, he visited the town where the sightings first appeared a while back

[@greischwitz]

That is the most "out there" one with no credibility
