As much as I love a good skin-walker or alien story about New Mexico, born and raised, I love the story of an unknown entity in a cave about 2 hours from me. It’s refreshingly different for this are.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

@Felicia Luna, I live in Phoenix, Arizona not too far from you. I have been all over New Mexico many times.

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

Didn't say anything about an entity. They have no idea what was in the cave. The guy kept telling him he had to show them, and then he got randomly violent? His plan may have been to kill them all in the cave for all we know. A person without a nefarious motive would've have tried to describe what they saw at the very least, or suggest they leave the area if danger was present.

[@MikeyVonSwank13]

Not only does Let’s Read upload great content on time 3x a week but gives other narrators a platform. Huge fan. Thanks for the upload

I love listening as I sew. I suffer from insomnia so I don't sleep at night much so I go into my sewing and either sew or do a craft. It's so much easier to listen with my headphones on then stop to look at the screen. Ty for the channel ❤

[@jgodfrey7283]

Great stories as always. But the horse head story is strange because “old school” cameras don’t work that way. If the film was exposed to light you wouldn’t see a negative, it would overexpose the film to light and erase the picture taken. So for the story to make sense - Someone would need to take the pics, go down the mountain and develop the film and then bring the negatives back and place them there. Or even more improbable, bring everything to develop it up the mountain with them. Now either of those options would be really strange. If the story is truthful then it really is the weirdest of all the stories.

[@crazyinsanepenguin]

That stood out to me too. I'm guessing that the op didn't look up how film works when they were making up the story lol. They must be young.

[@Medjayy]

no no the negatives are differnt and film is differnt , meaning film is processed in dark room to make pictures leaving negatives

[@KristenVautour]

I develop my own film from vintage cameras. You are correct. They would have to bring the negatives back to the site after doing the chemical process which takes a few hours plus days of drying. Film straight from the camera would be blank from exposure to light.

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

Huh yea good point. 😂 guess that story is a bust.

[@Rezo2486]

Scary camping/wilderness stories are my favorite so thanks for this!

[@twilightstar5694]

For the first story, I can totally understand how people can't scream when falling or sliding uncontrollably off a cliff or mountain side. The best way I can describe it, is like a roller coaster, you know how the first time you take the drop it's hard to put your hands up and scream? This may not happen for all but it's happened with me. Also I've slid uncontrollably down a steep cliff side. Was climbing this cliff in a forest and below was really big boulders or maybe broken cliff face that had fallen eons ago, either way they're wasn't a forest floor below it was a collection of really large boulders. Well, while scaling a thin path upwards, I lost my footing and was sliding feet first downward with my back dragging against the cliff wall. No scream left my body. It was impossible for me to make a sound. My jaw was clenched so tight as my feet struggled to get any kind of footing and my arms and hands pushed backwards as hard as I could to stop the death I literally saw coming at me. I don't remember how but I ended up catching myself on a little ledge that poked out before the cliff got steeper and dropped into the boulders. My whole body was shaking. My eyes never closed and I still couldn't scream. Every brain cell was so preoccupied with survival and it knew screaming wasn't gonna help that. So I clung backwards to the wall, searching for a way off the slope and back to my bf at the time. Well I'm alive so the rest is history. So yeah... I can understand how someone falling to thier possible death, or worse eminent death, can't muster a breath from thier lips. The body is trying to come up with any kind of hope for survival and a scream is just the last thing on your mind in those situations...

I swear the story with the research team is a true life mirror of an X-Files episode. It does make one wonder what did the guy come across in that cave?

I love that channel Scary Interesting. Very detailed, he does his research!

[@ELV943]

Last hike slept inside a one man tent. I was woken up at night by a thumping noise. Instead of jumping up or moving aggressively I just reached for my KBAR Tilted my head up saw the silhouette of a mooses neck outside the head of my tent. It caught its leg on my tie down, spooked, slammed its legs down and ran. I crawl out of the tent and this thing was 30 feet from me. Sat there seemed like an hour (only minutes) eyes locked. It turned its head and walked away. Lucky I didn't get stomped out...

[@mazilyn]

of course you post this the night i’m camping

[@HabarudoD]

About story 1, its nowhere near as horrible as coming upon someone dying, but climbing a mountain close to Toyko, where I live, I came upon a scene where a older man (50-60) had fallen down into a creek. He had fallen without any sound (except for wet clacking as he hit his head etc on the rocks below, 5ish meters). There were already 2 people down there administrating first aid when I arrived, but I will never forget the horror I felt as I saw him. I still remember bits of flesh on his pants and all the blood oozing out of his head and head-orifices, and probably wont forget any-time soon. He apparently made it though, when the safety crew arrived. Coming upon accidents must be something of the most heart-wrenching one can happen upon.

[@fayc1804]

I wonder if the strangler lost his mind before going into the cave. Going into the cave alone was weird enough which makes me think he was already losing his mind instead of his change being caused by something he encountered in the cave.

@@cougsjohnson1 it's too weird.

For first story. I recall the feeling of like something so extreme that wasn’t in my control. I was a diver so often if I lost control in a dive and lost where I was it’s like a rush and u just r so petrified by what ur feeling u don’t think to scream. This has happened in other place of my life too. The rush of falling down a mountain is so intense they definitely were frozen mentally in fear.

[@clintonbarnett2698]

I tend to think that the man (LSU researcher) who went into the cave wasn't what came out of the cave. I believe he was killed by something inside that cave that then used his form to get close to the other researchers. I'd also like to know what the strangled man said happened , it may not have made sense to anyone because it sounded too far fetched - he may have been telling the police exactly what happened but no one believed his story and chalked it up to brain damage

When camping/hiking always take a weapon to defend yourself against all types of predators. Any type of gun is good at minimum an 8" blade survivor knife. I carry a modified 5-foot walking staff that I snap my knife on to have a ready spare. I also carry some M80 firecrackers and mace (for bear). It is a good idea to have a motion sensor LED garden light and a loud horn too even a 900-mile laser pointer can be used defensively blinding the eyes of monsters and signaling.
