8 Absolutely DISTURBING Camping Stories

[@silentopinion]

I am listening to you from my home as usual, but with a potential fractured or bruised rib. But I am still very happy to hear a new story.

[@DarknessPrevails]

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

[@DAMIAN1713DGK]

I love you @@DarknessPrevails

[@johnnyblanton9448]

Walk it off, take ibuprofen. Nah, I'm kidding I'm a mechanic and former marine. I've broken lots of ribs, I hope you get better.

[@dawnt6791]

The kid who threatened the possible "pedo" with a knife is the kind of friend everyone needs. Not afraid to tell evil off and protect others. LOL

[@ghostfacegirl180]

Spoilers If the story about the neighbors is true, I hope at least the guy who tampered with the truck got arrested. I don't know if commanding your dogs to attack the people restraining your husband who just fled the scene of a crime is illegal, but tampering with their truck definitely is and a good lawyard could probaly argue that tampering with the breaks counts as attempted murder. Maybe with that on record the police would treat the neighbors as suspects in the harassment and do the "protect" part of their job before someone ends up dead.

[@JadedJessica]

I have so many questions about the school camping trip story. Maybe it's because I'm a former teacher, it really made no sense to me. A teacher physically threw a student. Then the student was forced to stay outside, overnight, alone? Another student also sustained a significant head injury, but recieved no medical care, and spent the night in a teacher's private cabin? The same staff member then sent students out into the woods to look for the missing kid after he was left outside all night? I couldn't focus on the horror part. What is even happening?!

[@PartialDemon]

Best to not dig too deep into these stories, most of them fall apart under casual scrutiny. Like in the second story where the neighbor somehow opened the hood of the car without getting in the car to hit the release lever... Thats either a pre-1950's car, passed out drunk, or utter fiction.

[@TheBatman-1989]

They are all made up 😂

[@Minimojojoy]

Agreed! Definitely not a real story. Just disturbing all around, and not at all logical.

[@Minimojojoy]

@@PartialDemonYou can fairly easily forcefully open a hood. I’ve had a car damaged that way and they didn’t open it from the inside. It’s not uncommon.

[@FiresCollide]

Yeah, quite a few of the stories in this episode seemed super sketchy and not at all plausible.

[@Msrandumb]

My husband and I absolutely love love love falling asleep to your stories! Thank

[@TheStuart-of-Cosby]

Thanks for making me wonder what goes bump in the woods at night . Ima grab my Smith&Wesson M&P 15 before I head out to check lines tonight lol. Who am I kidding I never go out to check the lines without some sort of firearm here in Tennessee. Thanks for tonight's entertainment while I walk through the almost dark woodlands

[@TheCynthiahawkins]

FYI, it's Shasta with a short A as in nasty. If you pronounce California the way you do Shasta, you would sound just like AH-nold. In other words, you are Gubernatorial material here in the Golden State. And I am so thrilled that you've added a third Creepypasta category to Tales from the Breakroom and Unexplained Encounters. This is wonderful. Also, I love your taste in music, but I've got to say the ambient bird noises were wonderful. They put me right on the trail with the characters you were narrating about.

[@ariesshadow7246]

My favorite type of stories. Thanks, Darkness, and can you upload more creepy paranormal stories?! 😊

[@elizabethsisney9145]

My advice to anyone, especially young couples… do Not camp in out of the way camping sites far from people! My second piece of advice is this… carry a weapon for goodness sakes? If you decide to ignore my advice on camping deep in the woods then at least carry a weapon. If people come to your campsite and do what they did to this couple, shoot two shots in the air, tell them the next one will NOT be a warning. Once they know you’re not a easy target they will leave, unfortunately bad people are looking for victims who are alone and far from other campers.

[@xxTenaciousExx]

I like the creepy music better than the ambient sounds but good stories DP

[@vincentbarringer9461]

Well, after hearing this I now see the wisdom of always carrying a firearm while camping

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

you know i didnt camp and hunt much as a young man but in my mid 30's i decided to do more hunting fishing and camping one of the the first things i learned was always armed or stay home ive run up on sketchy people two encounters with feral hogs and one encounter with a vicous dog in my neighborhood in recent years the alligator population seems to have increased drastically as i used to never see gators but now i see them quite regularly so now i wont go into any wooded area regardless of size or density unarmed remember the woods offer cover for all sorts of things and all sorts of weirdos be safe and instruct others to do the same EDIT: forgot to mention that i had an attempted home invasion and or assault a few years ago that ive documented that on my youtube channel if you want to know more about it

[@chuckguard6128]

Dude I get so excited when I see new stories!!! Makes being on post so much less boring!

[@Perhapsmoths]

Great video and stories. The crow was a bit to loud though :(

[@Therickestrick-o8g]

Might have been a Raven 🐦‍⬛ too

[@Skip2myLoo2]

Just go to sleep already. You’re keeping me up lol

[@sherrierusk2888]

Loved this one! Creepy camping stories are my favorite👍

[@desertblossom5097]

I actually like the nature sounds! Even the bird!!!😂

[@FiresCollide]

Nothing about that first story added up. Random anonymous guy chokes out two people, and they don't call the cops right away? There's no investigation OP mentions and makes it seem as though there wasn't one at all? Absolutely nothing turns up in a Google search? Seems sus imo.

[@Lavadog11]

That one is 100% sus and so is the school camping trip one. A school doesn't take kids camping have one die without it making national news. Especially not in the way told here.

[@KeshiaMac]

Yes!!! New channel. I love these stories and vids!!!

[@MVGodzillaSolos]

Now these are my type of stories! Can’t wait to listen

[@joset9625]

I just can’t stop listening to every story you tell us every week, I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you, thank you 🫶

[@Wep1]

Awesome! I’m loving the frequent uploads, this episode looks amazing and thanks a lot Darkness!😁😁

[@jameslookstwice]

Just don't tell Darkness the woods got quiet.He no likey😅

[@zombiekittybite80]

You just made me lol 😂 so true but I can’t help but still get creeped out when I hear the “ it got quiet” cliche’.

[@nathanbrady8529]

Regarding Gettysburg, there is far more to the area than the battle; like my own experience at Spangler's Spring. I went there one evening with a friend. We were just milling about in the dark, slacking off. All of the sudden, we both smelled lilacs. The scent faded, and we began looking around. We found the scent again, a few paces up the road. The scent faded, and, again, we picked it up further up the road. It was literally moving. I have zero doubts this was the presence of a young woman who had drown herself when her betrothed skipped town. There are two main reasons I know we weren't just smelling natural lilac blooms. 1) There aren't any lilacs there, and the honeysuckle is a very distinctly different scent. 2) It was November....

[@nathanbrady8529]

For context, lilac water was a popular inexpensive perfume in the 1800s. Something a young woman in a farming community certainly would have had access to.

[@sonnymontigny4733]

You should get way more listeners than Rogan!! No contest! 👍

[@sofiakingsbury277]

The kind of content I be checking for every week!

[@SherryJMorris]

Thanks bunches I love your stories Mr. DP!!! PLEASE NEVER QUIT ON US!!!

[@daoinemidori5268]

First story is very interesting. I feel like white belt dude has something to do with it, and that he's not really a white belt lol.

[@Poke_Doll]

Me: Gleefully listening to these stories like I always do completely forgetting that tomorrow I'm going on a camping trip for the first time since I was kid. :/ I don't know about you guys but after consuming 5 years of 'true encounters' content on four different narration channels, there's no way in hell I'm ever camping in a tent or going unarmed. Thankfully my mom has this sturdy little camper trailer now which feels way more secure so I'm sure I'll be fine, you honestly gotta watch out for unpredictable people more than anything.

[@tifftx8490]

Okay but what happened to the crazy neighbor and the dogs? I want an update on that one.

[@Emily-lh6em]

I need answers too. I've had crazy neighbors before and it sucks but at least it was apartments so we were easily able to move away.

[@steveknows_420]

Rolls another joint, makes a cup of freshly brewed coffee and lights up.👌💨

Scoot over😂

[@TheBatman-1989]

Cool story

[@SherryJMorris]

Ordered me a glow in the dark tumbler today! Can't wait to get it! 🤩

[@jessicadanna5206]

Ok the teacher one was so out of order it was ridiculous I’m sorry that’s the only thing that upset me I hope it’s fake. Otherwise another good episode as always DP!

[@joycemcclellan6232]

Oh and also I really,truly,badly, wholeheartedly miss your background music so very much 😞😥 I wish you would/could do a flashback video every now and then and play music in just one story. Not the whole thing,I'm not greedy!

[@jacksonrowley8158]

The legend back at it again

[@DarkProphetRaz]

I love that we get Killer deer in this episode. And Also I just heard the first original episode of in the woods podcast

[@michelechavez7722]

Really like 😊. But the bird calls, think I've got to go outside to feed them.

[@mariclements]

I loved this! I'm very excited you've got another podcast, Darkness!

[@rneustel388]

#3 has issues, I think. I’m not clear on all the legalities, but there may be problems because they followed him into his yard when the brother caught him. Anything at that point might be considered self defense. I don’t know, but if they’d had cameras up, the neighbor would’ve been caught messing with the car and the fence.

[@derikclose1421]

The issues with the story are much more than that. 1st off if you're going to do a stake out in your car to catch someone why would fall asleep when you see them. Then how does said someone open your hood when it needs to be popped from the inside 1st. All signs point to bs.

[@rneustel388]

@@derikclose1421 I never thought about how the hood got opened, and why wouldn’t that wake you up? I agree with your assessment, or it’s highly embellished, at the very least.

[@busterharlow7601]

Thanks for the post

[@patriciamurphy6559]

Great way to start my staycation! 😊

[@michaelq92]

A man can obviously kill any other man he can sneak up on however it would take more than a passing INTENT to kill two people by choking. That was a really good one so much left to the imagination in a short story, the narrator is in the perfect position to create intrigue for the reader.

[@JamesChessman]

It's a good story but I feel like the whole theme of martial arts, was all just a lead-up, for the choking murders, i.e. it sounds like a well-written fictional short story. imo

[@gwenethsmith8478]

I love the new background crow sound effects! It's such a small detail but it adds to the video so much, ty for the content darkness!

[@lenakavanaghrattigan9522]

I love your stories. I am listening to them from my bedroom in ireland.

[@nonablouin2606]

Love the nature sounds in the background crows are my favorite bird's and black 🖤 is my happy color

[@radioface86]

The neighbor story is why you always carry a gun and never trust a pitbull. They're cute and cuddly until they snap.

[@chanceblevins6682]

I guess Landon learned his lesson in the afterlife.

[@bynightsky596]

First story, it was obviously Yujiro Hanma

[@antoineferbos3586]

Thanks for the stories. I enjoyed all of them.

[@pjwestin]

Wait, hold on. Were the Gettysburg guys planning on bayonetting people who deface statues? I think I'm rooting for the ghosts.

[@corycarlson8712]

These stories are really getting bad. I guess all the good ones have been told and now we're left with filler content. I thought that 1st one was a joke.. it's impossible to have all good stories but some of the ones lately just make me miss the old days.

[@jenflinchum4360]

Great video as usual, but...maybe different birds next time? Lol

[@niko_5309]

This bird is driving me effing nuts!!!

Couldn't handle the crow noises, was too annoying to sleep too, but I enjoy all your other videos I'll find another one with a better sound track😅

[@LegendaryFable88]

I'm here for the wendigos, wechuge's & skinwalkers💯🙌👍

[@sneakyfishiix8014]

The camper horror story was probably a mountain lion they sound exactly like a women screaming.

[@nullblasterthevoidmaker1750]

Oh goody, more bedtime stories for me.

[@gypsyfox3285]

Maybe it was meant to be with Landon. A bully like that might have become a dangerous adult.

[@MGJDMNJ]

Former bjj guy here. Like the first story but being pinned isn’t how you win lol

[@phantom_blade555]

I could be wrong because I wasn’t listening properly, but didn’t he say that he just pinned him and walked away?

[@MGJDMNJ]

@@phantom_blade555 well bjj uses the guard which is being on your back. There are great bjj guys who win tournaments just using the guard and willing drop to their back right away. A purple belt shouldn’t really be concerned by going to their back so him being pinned means nada unless he mounted him or passed his guard into side control. If the story said something like “he effortlessly passed my guard into side control and then arm-barred me”, it would make a bit more sense. Again, I thought it was a cool story and don’t want it to come off like I’m hating on the guy.

[@phantom_blade555]

Thank you for explaining this to me. I always do like fighting, but I don’t really know a martial-art I just tend to use brute strength but I have thought about what I need in a fighting style

[@ivonnemiller]

rate this 10 love these stories I listen from home.

[@dannmccord1923]

Awesome stories Darkness just love them

[@viseneri]

The story about the family in the campervan escorted out of the wood by police. Why did the police say: come out with your hands up?

[@joycemcclellan6232]

In the 3rd story anyone who thinks the neighbors were in the right needs to have their head checked lol cause they were worse than any Karen I've ever seen or heard of! And the 4th story I believe they were encountering a banshee! Oh and by the way that 4th story is my favorite story you've ever narrated because I got to hear you say my name so many times! 😂

[@markinglese3874]

The one with Landon the bully is so fake it's funny.

[@cherylmoore3349]

Great story's disturbing 😳

[@casioqueen9382]

Love this guy

[@johnshoemaker234]

I love BJ'js!!! Way better than martial arts

[@aristidastankus8043]

I thought today was going to be another Tales from the Break Room podcast, but I was wrong. I’ll just enjoy this Camping Horrors podcast without complaint

[@coreyhepler2503]

I love your stories but I’d really recommend not using the bird noises. It’s a bit distracting and makes it hard to get fully immersed into the story.

[@chee2893]

Darkness Hoghan is pronounced like "ho-gone" 😊 skinwalker stories always fascinate me.

[@EDP91]

I gotta say I love everything…. Except the new bird sounds…. That bit is pretty annoying. I hate to even complain cause everything’s awesome. It’s just those damn bird sounds are to much. Thanks.

[@anonymousdragon7765]

I feel like it’s fine (and I actually quite enjoy it) for certain parts of the story when things are peaceful, but it is a bit annoying when it occurs during the scarier parts, it doesn’t fit the mood imo. I feel like creepy or chilling music would go perfectly in their place! It would just probably be way harder to put in, so I sympathize with darkness

[@JeneenRose-Osborne]

We recently moved into a cabin in the woods on a mountain so these stories won’t help make me feel safe. 😂

[@themorenajay]

Ooooh my everything! That school trip story had me skip forward to like... some part around the end of it. Bad writing. Bad bad writing. Just pour 50 names with 15 spoons in a tiny tea cup, why not? We'll definitely understand what's going on. Or feel for anyone or scared by anything.

[@silas3956]

14:05 those dogs aren’t pit bulls. pit bulls are not human aggressive, hell they would make terrible guard dogs as they love ppl. mislabeling kills :/

[@thinkbeforeyouthink7860]

Dude just a suggestion, IMO the background music plays a big role in the overall effect on how effective the stories are at scaring you, nature sounds don’t really have the same impact as a creepy background music.

[@jnort95]

Great Video!!

[@blanchybaby]

The crow and other sounds are REALLY annoying in the background. They jar with the narration and make this video unwatchable for me.

[@dasdeke]

I liked the stories but the campfire and wood sounds were a little distracting. Still, I think it added something I'm not sure yet if I like it.

[@MarkCexplorer]

Dude usually like listening but the bird sounds are really annoying. I'm just saying.

[@Skip2myLoo2]

I’d rather have no commercials. Breaks my concentration and mood of story.

[@chrisxavier3147]

Simply the best

[@nickdarr7328]

That first story is very stupid. There's no chance there wouldn't be DNA evidence left if a guy killed 2 others in a fight

[@michaelthomas6280]

I might have to listen to the first story again, but is the scary part supposed to be that he got beat up by a white belt?

[@Emily-lh6em]

He feels like it was the white belt who murdered the two other men. He feels he had a lot more skills than a white belt. Thats what he was insinuating.

[@Scott-jh2go]

No I taught Ed Parker's Kenpo karate

[@JamesChessman]

For the 1st story, how can anyone not know that "BJJ" sounds almost like a sexual thing, and he keeps saying it over and over, BJJ, BJJ, BJ-Jayyy 😂

[@lisa8477]

Love love love you 🥰🙃

[@LegendaryHero7]

I love the scenery

[@AustinTorresTV]

34:36 another fake story. It’s starts off with the submitter saying “I was a teach at that school too” to then a student saying go her “if you open the door I’ll kill you” with the teacher then rolling her eyes and pushing past her to open the door??? What? A student just threatened a teachers life? The other teacher there said that the bully student has to stay outside over night? “No one let him in the cabin”? Ever heard of federal prison wtf??? And the bully student was too good of an athlete to expel, yet if someone lets him in then they’ll get expelled? Again, WHAT? And how old are these students for a guy to trip a girl, then step on her wrist? If he’s in school sports, he’s 13-18 years old. But for the school to care about his athletics, then it has to be high school age. While it’s possible, it’s highly highly highly unlikely that the student would trip someone, busting their head open, then continuing to stand on their wrist? Come on now.

[@heatherdelcambre8555]

I was suspecting all of these stories were 100% fake and that was confirmed when Black Mesa was mentioned.

[@nahz687]

I love smoking and listening to ur vids

[@Yg0emi]

Doing last minute study for a exam that’s less than a hour away while listening to darkness is another type of relaxation 😂

[@JamesChessman]

Nice vid, and I wish the title said "True Stories" or something because I only listen to the true ones, and sometimes they're not labeled as such, like this one. (I don't listen to the vids of creeptypasta or fictional stories.) So maybe you should actually revise some of your titles lol if they are true stories, then please say it in the title. :)

[@matthewhatton3637]

Be careful you might be camping in old forgotten native American burial grounds!

plzz stop the crows! ty though

[@jennstandring5172]

I like to listen to you to fall asleep and was excited for this episode. Unfortunately the crow crowing every 10 seconds in the nature audio woke me up. Have to find an old episode with a less jarring ambient track.😢

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

Firat story, just cos the other guus who went on the trip hadnt got their belts doesnt mean that they arent stronger or have ranked belts in other martial arts so surely lewis could of over powered the two higher belts as he would of also have the surprise element on his side 🤔

[@txgirl995]

I hope the crazy fence neighbor was charged and jailed.
