The Romanian mountains story really spooked me! I grew up in the nearest big city around the Rodna mountains (Bistrița) and I used to go every summer for a week or two to stay with my cousins who lived in Sângeorz-Băi ( a city right at the base of the mountains) but I never heard this story about actual people who lived or have been living there. And I remember how much we climbed those mountains!!😳 we hiked to Ineu’s peak every summer and to Pietrosul’s peak maybe twice.. wow…😮

[@cacavati]

I'm having my doubts, people have been living off livestock in those mountains for thousand of years. Romania is also predominantly orthodox country specially in rural areas, that doesn't mean of course an exempt but all in all the story seems fabricated. I'm hiking the mountains of Romania regularly as I live there... the most dangerous things you can encounter are bears wolves illegal timber cutters, hazards increase close to winter.

"I thought it was a deer" was them trying to minimize and pass off blame in that situation. But as hunters it was their responsibility to be sure, it was their responsibility to know where they were and what they were hunting. Just a few feet and they would have shot OP. It doesn't matter that they "thought the horse was a deer" they are too stupid to be allowed to hunt.

I agree if I couldn't tell it was a deer I wouldn't have shot. Where I live a man I go to church with was shot in the head and killed turkey hunting. The guy who shot him lived out of state and just left, leaving us all to wonder what happened. It was a good 24-48 hours before they found his corpse. They finally tracked the shooter down but he walked without charge because he claimed it an accident and it might gave been but not an unpreventablle accident. This left a 20 year old woman and a 2 year old kid as a widow and fatherless. All because someone didn't make sure what he shot. Our state passed a new law making it criminal for someone to leave the scene as this shooter did. It was a horrible mess! I personally think the shooter should have gotten some jail time.

[@donovandonnegan3675]

Deer hunters don't shoot for the head either. Heart or lungs.

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Donovan Donnegan This thought makes me really suspicious of it too. Hunters don't shoot for the head because it's such a small target and easier to miss and make the animal suffer. If they had truly mistaken the horse for a deer they wouldn't have gone for the head.

[@colinkillian9265]

They where irresponsible and I'm sure they where punished accordingly. Accidents can happen, given that they ran to the kid screaming and waited for the authorities would lead me to believe that they weren't malicious. Had they wanted too, they could have just ran back into the forest and made their way back to their vehicle. It would have taken quite awhile for rangers to arrive to the scene and would have been virtually impossible to locate and charge them. Obviously had they killed the kid the state may have used more resources to track down these hunters, but for a horse they most definitely would not..

Possible that they saw the white and thought it was the tail of deer.. Whitetail deer is the predominant species of deer in America. No excuse for taking such a shot though, one is always responsible for what they're bullet hits, so not verifying with absolute certainty your target but also what's behind your target is reckless and irredeemable.

[@IdontKnow-gm7eu]

@@colinkillian9265 If the story is true, it's pretty much impossible to mistake a horse for a deer. Your white tail hypothesis isn't likely; the tail of a deer is so small in comparison to that of a horse and you can't mistake a tail for a mane. They're either complete and utter retards, or they killed it on purpose.

I think those hunters had resentment against the sight of snobby "horsey set" rich girls in English riding gear posting their asses up and down on what they saw as what should be their hunting grounds so they took the shot. It's possible they just intended to spook the horse and send the "entitled little bitch" on a terrifying ride, but the head shot was awfully clean for such a mitigating explanation...

They probably didn’t even see her. She’s 12, probably small so they probably thought “fukn snobby people and their horse” and decided to kill the horse. But yeah I agree with ya.

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

I was kind of wondering about that story because I’ve never heard someone from the UK call running shoes actual running shoes. I thought they were known as trainers. I was wondering about the phone as well, but the story doesn’t give a date. Did he have a smart phone or an old-school flip phone? If he had a smart phone he could just look up his location on maps. I don’t know something just tells me this is not a first hand account of the story

[@TheLondonLass]

@@SoCalRegisteredNurse I think you might be right. The news stories didn’t mention how she was found which is something they always mention. Articles often seem to start with something like, “a dog walker found…” etc. The running shoes thing might be them trying to make it understandable for an American audience. I have heard the word ‘flashlight’ used in a couple of these stories by Brits and I have never heard a Brit use that word in real life.

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

@@TheLondonLass I listened again and the date was given so I was wrong. It said 2015 so I imagine he could’ve had a phone that told him his location, therefore he was not “lost.” I don’t believe this is his story EDIT: I listened again and he said last June. I’m not sure where I heard 2015 from 🤪 I’m a tad distracted today. Husband went off on me yesterday out of nowhere when I sent him a video of a raccoon on our porch 🤷🏼‍♀️ He was stressed about “everything.” I asked “what’s everything? Please be more specific.” He couldn’t name what was stressing him out. I said “ok.” I wanted to say “chill, go play some COD or go take a nap or something” but I didn’t want to poke the bear.

Shooting an animal isn’t an accident

[@GaiaBH1]

That story about Custard is horrific. I feel so sorry for that girl!! Imagine seeing your beloved animal lying there with a bullet hole in its head and all of the gore associated with it. Especially at such a young age!! She was just a child and had to be exposed to something so truly traumatic. It hits home for me personally because I’ve actually ridden through woods when hunters have been around. Thankfully, they’ve only been after pheasants, so wouldn’t aim their rifles at a four-legged creature trotting along the track. Plus they’re actual responsible hunters who know what they’re doing and know to be careful with the horses and riders.

They stated the children were strange acting and malformed. Even if it's malnutrition of some sort of environmental toxicity, if they're too poor to provide a gestating fetus with nutrition, why would they have a sufficient breeding pool?

@Natural I'm always split between whether the people who go on reddit and write out these stories are just stupid oversocialized Hylics and so their rendition of events and manner of storytelling reflects that nature and conditioning, or, if they're made up. The tragedy is, I can't decide one way or another.

[@amadta1798]

My guess is that the storyteller was British in that he called the other guys in his hiking group "lads." Americans don't do that.

[@colinkillian9265]

His use of torch to describe a flashlight would lead me to assume that the author is from the UK..

[@iaminpainauchocolat9300]

It's just a ghost story there were no generalisations going on. Relax.

[@Higsby100]

20:00 dude was definitely correct about cannibalism. Wild that people don't assume that first. Cannibalism is very common if you go out far enough into the forest.

Good stories

[@sandyfika2201]

As ever, thanks for the absolute best narration on the net. You rock.

[@mikesmanstuff]

This is relaxing

I love it when people try to explain every detail of a site after somebody disappears, as if they could step by step determine what this person was thinking. People change their minds all the time. Even if we had all the details, it's doubtful that they could explain what this person was thinking. In fact they probably still wouldn't know everything that happened.

That lady that survived in the jungle for so long is a serious bad ass!

[@DesireesJoint]

I feel so terrible for the person with the horse story :( I love animals so much, I can see why they’re so traumatized…
