The Murfrees and Del Lobo's will do the same if you can sneak close enough!

[@reginaangelica751]

Honestly props for filming all these encounters at night just for the effect…im too much of a pussy to wander tall trees at night lol

[@davidstinger1134]

Can't blame anyone for that, going at night in RDR2 to Tall Trees, or the swamps or Roanoke Ridge is pure nightmare fuel.

[@MaigenMaylight]

For me it's the Night Folk that set me on edge. You can always feel their gaze on you, staring you down. Also doesn't help that on my first playthrough I had the crying girl encounter and nearly shat a brick 💀

[@americandissident9062]

@@davidstinger1134 Tall Trees at night definitely feels scary and dangerous. Roanoke never scared me too much since I always felt like the MB were too stupid to ever pull one over on Arthur or John. The Swamps never scared me though. I live in Florida and have a lot of family in Louisiana. I loved wandering the swamps at night in RDR2 trying to get as deep into wilderness as possible. The night folk are the only ones who give me issues out of the three gangs in this post. The way they attack means I can not wander out there without a high capacity, rapid--fire shotgun unless I want a close call. The worst feeling is reloading while you still have two or more night folk running at you.

Gotta love how rdr can be creepier than most of horror games

[@Manuel-4]

Nothing scarier than portraying the reality

[@mytuush206]

I just noticed that during the ambush at 13:55, since some of the Skinners are Native American, they actually scream and do war cries

[@sharksowneverything1]

Interestingly the war cry is the same one the Wapiti use

[@ANNEKE1999]

It's not a big wonder though. Every folk has their psychos. Apart from that, maybe the Skinners offered a chance to take revenge on the settlers that took their land. I wouldn't be surprised if some decided to join the Skinners to this reason.

[@JohnMarston703]

@@sharksowneverything1 perhaps some of the skinners are Wapiti natives who were expelled from the tribe or left it

Wouldn't really call them creepy more like pure terrifying nightmare fuel

[@ANNEKE1999]

Nahh the Nightfolk is creapy, Skinners and Murfrees are just horrific.

[@FlymanMS]

@@ANNEKE1999 It's like a gradual rise of awfulness. Nightfolk are just some swamp lunatics that are barely coherent, Murfrees are territorial but also can talk and reason but have a streak of sadism, Skinners are just a gang of roaming vile sadist who don't care about land, people or themselves, their only goal is to create chaos and misery.

[@JohnMarston703]

All three are horrible, they kill people mercilessly without caring if they are men, women or children and they skin them for pure fun

I think they are based on Glanton Gang because: 1.Otis Skinner the leader has a dog like Glanton 2.in a random encounter you can see a Black Skinner killing another gang member Just like Black Jackson in the book 3.they adore a entity like Judge Holden from the Blood Meridian

[@americandissident9062]

I really wish Manzanita had been more useful during RDR2. Like If they had a back room you could rent or at least be allowed into the house to buy limited supplies. Would have felt like an outpost in a dangerous region. That family who lived there who didn't speak English must have been tough if they weren't being bothered by the Skinners.

@@UnchainedMelodie92 yes that particular encounter is horrifying. I remember the first time I wasn’t ready and ended up going on a vengeance rampage. Hate the swamps lol.

[@ProfessorOFanthropology979]

If you come into thieves landing from the west, and snoop around for a bit near the big fence area, you can hear a del lobo swear vengeance on John (granted thats if you’ve killed a lot of del lobos), he’ll make threats about “tying up that American cowboy and making him suffer for what he did to our brothers” or something along those lines. I forgot the rest of the threats but yeah quite interesting how you they can remember John and easily identify him.

[@dmitriyrozhdestvenskiy2826]

Great video! As a fan of Yours - like with no doubts! 😄👍 😊😊 Yeah, I also think they used to be normal trappers when the Strange Man himself crossed their way. Then they turned into monsters. I also think the same situation with the Bayou-Nwa: the "Wodoo Cult" (or "the Night folk") were previously the Creole settlers who were also corrupted with him (his house is untouchable as himself on the swamps).

At the bottom of the newspaper article it says "Tallulah Jetty Gang" and some other names. During the making of the game there was going to be a place named Tallulah Jetty but they had to cut it. Cool that its mentioned there though, like it still exists in the rdr universe but its just somewhere else.

[@LevisH21]

I wish every gang in the game actually had a hideout. there is actually a location point in Tall Trees, north east of the map that could have been made into a hideout for the Skinner Brothers. that road that lead into thr mountains. and with regards to the Night Folk, the camp you get at Lakay could have been a good place used by the Night Folk as their hideout as well.

[@jordanharrison8454]

This game can never die. I love it so much.

[@BlondieYouTube]

The Skinners always do make me think about Jim Jarmusch's movie _Dead Man_ 1995. The same type of country, same horrible rugged hillmen who nihilistically murder and main. John, a wanted man and having a native friend to guide him also adds up to it. They are most likely inspired by the bloodthirsty Harpe Brothers Gang, who were active during the rise and early years of the US, and were so sadistic that even other ruthless gangs didn't want anything to do with them.
