I grew up in that area. The Indians cursed the Yosemite valley and the settlers who moved in there. One day the rocks will fall into the valley. Every year the ice freezes in the cracks of the granite. Every year it thaws. And every year the cracks widen. It is inevitable that the granite rocks will one day fall and fill the valley, as well they should.

[@ria0991]

thank you Heather for that information. It makes sense. I am starting to believe natives in other regions of the area cursed their land to not to mention if the average American knew how many towns were built upon Aboriginals graves their heads would spin.

They are speaking Yoruba. Throughout most of the Atlantic world, Maroons play a critical role in local, regional, and even national histories. In contrast, marronage in colonial America and the early United States is largely absent from the American historical narrative. Thousands of Maroons live in wooded areas, there exists little popular awareness or understanding of the Maroons living in these places. Severe Incest and deformity as well as stomach tumors that purge foul smelling puss made integration into other communities difficult if not impossible. Many Native Americans refused to hand over their slaves and simply abandoned them into the north American wilderness. Selective breeding and incest coupled with the skills of evasion from fleeing slavery and what they learned through observation of their native American masters made them elusive and wild, in many of the explorers journals, obtained under the freedom of information act, most famously from the Land expeditions confidential correspondence to President Theodore Roosevelt, Maroons were described as huge hairy beings with misshaped heads that consumed their dead to include even the bones, and were observed relieving themselves and immediately ingesting their own waste.

You will feel that you are being watched, because it's full of animals and maybe other things. I became a man and found my self in California. It's a different place. Almost like a different country.

I grew up near there, off-grid, I could see El Capitan from my bedroom window. Every morning at 1st light I would sneak out and Hike the ridges and valleys until about 9 am....from 11 years old until 18. Never saw anything strange. But, I DO believe the place is Cursed. I left MANY years ago, and the few times I've visited I'm always struck by how QUIET it is. And I always get the same thought, "Death is here. Things come here to wait to die." I never stay long.

[@baronwhite4631]

So is it not worth it buying off grid land there? I wanted to buy some off grid land from Yosemite, to North Cali, or South Oregon. Not sure where I want to buy land. Yet Yosemite mountains seem more majest then north cali or southern oregon. So I wanted to pick Yosemite. Yet If I'm part native american, I doubt native spirits would hassle me. Still if you're saying it's a place for death? Then it is not worth it. Also I have a kid and bringing kids there doesn't sound good. Also the drive to Yosemite is always so far, like 1.5 hours to get there, then another 1.5 hours to see the area, not sure if I want to drive that much just to visit nature very week.

You have a gift for storytelling. As far as the curse goes Yosemite seems like a big place. It probably has a curse on it. But being such a large and isolated place it probably would have quite a volume of incidents over time. There is danger in all of these parks in north America. They are not to be taken lightly.

[@summer20105707]

@Chief Scalpalot well I'm glad you enjoy yourself in the parks. That's what they're for. I'm from Ontario and I have gone to Algonguin a few times. I know that place has had incidents happen over the years but I'd still like to go camping there again. San Isabel sounds nice.

[@generaleerelativity9524]

@Chief Scalpalot I've been to Colorado a few times when my grandfather was still alive and had a house in Aurora. We visited many different places and although we didn't do the camping thing it was always spectacular and awe-inspiring. Saw Sabe quite a few times but never had a negative experience with them out there. I love it so much I've considered moving there but I'm a bit apprehensive about that since somehow the Derpacrats took over the state. I think we all have a pretty good idea how that happened. It's such a shame that anytime after a place gains popularity they infiltrate it with dollar signs in their eyes 💲👀💲 That place was so great back in the 80's & 90's, I get so nostalgic thinking about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cry on my handmade buckskin knife sheath as I sharpen the blade🔪😢

@Chief Scalpalot there is no curse in yosemite dont be silly

[@karenholmes6565]

Yosemite is an extreme place. You combine being an extreme place with being a populated place, and people are going to die. Think about 3.5 million people crawling all over a place with rushing water, falling rock, snow, wind, lightening. It is a wonder more people don't die up there. An example, there is a sign telling you not to hike up to the base of Yosemite Falls because the boulders shift and crush people every single year. At the base of those falls is a pristine plunge basin. There is another sign that warns people that they can get hypothermia from swimming in it, and yet 1000s of people swim in it every year. Even I did once when it was 104 degrees outside. It was so cold that my chest tightened and I couldn't breathe.

Went to Yosemite for my 16th birthday present. I was jazzed. We stayed in a tent cabin in the park which was a total treat. Behind us were rock cliffs and forest. My friend and I were talking about how scary it would be if there was a rock fall while we were there. Just as we said it a small rockfall happened. We even had a ranger stop by to make sure we were ok. It left us feeling really uneasy. The next morning we mentioned it to someone while we were hiking and he casually said it was forest spirits. We laughed he didn't. I don't think he was kidding. He told us to respect the park and we would be left alone. I also got giardia but that was my fault.

[@Millanuno5]

absolutely love Yosemite, have camped many times here and never really felt or experienced anything except but one time. Camping at North pines and our site was literally 3 sites away from the restrooms. it was around 8pm but already dark out, campfires going, each site enjoying themselves as we slowly get ready to close out the night. anyhow i go to use the restroom and walking there is no problem but when i finish up and began to walk back i know for a fact i did not walk the opposite way but somehow ended up walking the opposite way of our campground. here i am thinking to myself "what the heck we are literally 3 sites to the left, where is our site." i somehow end up all the way by the backpacking campgrounds and i can feel the forest closing in on me almost as if its coming alive and trying to suck me in, and the second i begin to feel it coming in on me i literally yell out loud "NO!" and i kid you not after i say that i look to my left and i see my daughter, parents, and other relatives laughing around our campfire at our site which was just two spots away from where i was standing now. yes i was completely sober. has anyone seen Hunger Games 2 when they fight on the clock island and it gets spun around so when they exit the island you end up in a completely different direction? that's how i felt when i got out of the restroom. weird stuff for sure.

[@uncletony3025]

The thing about California mountains is that it can be 70 degrees in the day and get down to the 30’s at night. I learned that the hard way one night while camping and out of no where it rained on us for an hour, so I got zero sleep that night. It’s beautiful but it’s look are deceiving.

I was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area. Yosemite was a favorite camping spot for friends & family. I also attended a girl's camp about 50 miles from there every summer from 12 years old until I was 20, having been a camp counselor for the last 3 yrs I attended. Luckily, all experiences were wonderful & some even magical. Those memories are cherished by me. And I am grateful I didn't have some of the awful things happen that I heard about in later years! I can share that one camping trip there, I was probably 15 at that time, so early 1970's, my mom and I drove up to the lodge to get a couple of food items we forgot to pack. I remember we parked by the hotel/cabins peole rented when visiting & later employees would stay in some of them too. On that visit, as we got out of the car an odd chill ran up my back which caused me to stay stand there trying to figure out what I was sensing. It wasn't until the mom and her daughter were killed by a park employee that as I watehed the news report and they showed where the room was I recognized it ss the very spot we'd parked in front of a decade before.

Something I have learned from backpacking: Your mind is the culprit. Any change in landscape composition will change the energy and weather contributes. On top of that, flashes of moments in another time due to how different it is from normal society can generate fear. The Sierra Nevada range is brutal and I have had my worst and best moments there. Only spooky when your natural senses for survival kick in . I have been humbled by short but brutal storms, animals traveling near me, and high passes with howling wind. Something as simple as a random field of scree or volcanic rock will alter your mind's level of calmness. The desert and coast has similar treacherous conditions in another font. Advice: be aware of your surroundings, the energy, and mitigate your acceptable level of risk with a plan and backup plan. Heck make another one on top of that. Be ok to roll with the changes.

As a matter of fact, I’ve decided to tell family who ask us to to take them to Yosemite, those who come visit us from out of state… No if you want to go, we’ll give you directions on how to get there, but we’re not going! Next I’ll share with them all the missing 411 of people, next I’ll share your stories on Yosemite and the many strange encounter’s of creature’s. If they choose to go after sharing this information, they are on their own but I’ll try to sway them to Sequoia park instead.

I live one hour away from Yosemite National park, I go every year for the past 30+ years. No such thing as a curse, it’s a beautiful park and I highly recommend everyone to go and hike. Last year I went a couple times I even took my wife’s family that came from Mexico to Yosemite and they loved it. You need to stop believing myths.

@@russrussel3947 I just went to Mount Diablo 3 days ago, had a blast there. Then spend some time at Walnut Creek. No such thing as curses. Stop living in fear, God is the one in control, not false pagan belief systems.

Went solo backpacking with covid in yosemite. 5 days alone, the last 2 were in a snow storm. Didnt see anything haunted.

Dead deer skull could be a warning to not go farther. Wether it's from something other that wants you gone from the area. Or it's from poachers/moonshiners or humans imitating something other I couldn't say & won't say. But I'd have apologized & turned around at the first deer skull just in case.

There is a story about a fellow (ranger) who was taken by a few men who were living wild in a large park like Yosemite. he had every reason to believe that they were about to eat him alive, these were not friendly folks as they would not listen to his pleas for help and had him tied up, luckily he escaped.

[@markkautz8348]

I know that this is a bit behind times, but if you live in the area (Mother Lode and that includes Yosemite) haunting is nothing unusual. This area (and I live in it) has story after story about hauntings. Just about every place is haunted in some way. I even believe my house is haunted.

[@ogcommunity8877]

Its not just that the land is cursed, but because the disrespect of visitors to sacred lands: meaning lands that belong to all sorts of hyper dimensional beings, elementals of all sorts, and spirits of every genre. Specially all the major rock formations and every water features are all well known portals ...you can even call them strongholds to things that are considered beings of ancient myths, religion, folk/ fairy tales and even local or First Nation horror. The reason that hotel is so haunted, isn't just including the location but the original Stones and trees that make up the place...I've found a lot of old haunted places make the same mistake by using local stones for fire places, or wells etc. that they didn't ask permission to use, causing them and the dwelling to be haunted by pissed off elemental spirits or worse. It would be better to rebuild than deal with such entities....that can turn generational. Hey ask all the natives or islanders around the world if im wrong-(specially Icelanders they at least have a clue). I wouldn't even DARE go to any National park anymore....unless I was asked to find someone. Which honestly anyone can do by just showing a large amount of respect , by offering food to the "Deva" or head protecting spirit of said area: cream and honey, a full meal, live goat, tobacco and booze...just bang a drum and ask for the missing back....but you only have maybe a window till sunrise for them to release the taken. well according to many shamans take on dealing with the unseen worlds. Many also say have the children carry Iron on them> (I personally would never bring a child to such sacred/cursed places).

Love the story telling brother!.. yeah the missing 411 is insane....the one case where a kid disappeared and a family 4 miles away saw a bear running up a cliff/hill carrying something red over his shoulder, and the missing child they were searching for that day had on a red shirt but the cops/rangers didn't take it serious....they never found that kid., I heard a vary unique/interesting story one time, and part of that story I was told there's different types of sasquatch just like human(races). Also the sasquatch with red eyes are the mean ones(hate humans). They eat meat, a small child would be an easy meal, easier than catching a deer.(which many people have reported seeing sasquatch with a dead deer thrown over there back or eating then. Also why not keep a legit record of the people missing in all the national parks?🤔. And besides reserving these specific areas of places that are national parks, why did we(USA) decide to make those areas off limits to be colonize by people?🧐🤔🤯. Keep doing what you do, always appreciate a good story brother 🤘🏼 listening from Delaware.

[@brucehoman1050]

Jake Lilly, I believe that Miller was the last name of the child you spoke of. If I'm not mistaken, the FBI was involved in that case, and there were a number of mistakes made. That disappearance took place in Great Smokey Mountain National Park, approximately 40 miles from where I live here in East Tennessee. I think that was 40 or 50 yrs ago. I have read that there are 4 different races of Sasquatches in the US. I have never seen one with red eyes. The ones that I've seen at night have bright orange eyes. They deer hunt around here at night, and they help each other. Not only that, but I have heard coyotes out here hunting WITH them! They used to bed down about 3 am in the tall grass, approximately 30 ft from the camper I lived in. You might not believe it, but the adult female had such a beautiful voice! Yes, they do have their own language, and they speak it as fluently and as quickly as we speak English. What really always blew me away is how very intelligent they are, yet I have never seen any tools that they may have used, nor did they use fire. I would on occasion go to the Food City store and grab a 10 lb bag of chicken thighs and legs to leave them when it gets cold like it is now. I lived "with" them for 10 months. They never threatened me, however, they did give me a perty good scare several times.

[@RonSafreed]

That story was out of the Smokey Mountains National Park in the summer of 1969 & the boy's name was Dennis Martin of the Martin family out of Chatanooga TN. David Paulides visited the family like in 2009, 40 years after this happened & the Martin couple was old & Mr. Martin told him how the FBI got involved & "stonewalled" the family & the lead investigator committed suicide, really sad but strange & freaky!! BTW the family that saw that creature carrying the Martin boy their name was Martin too!! "what a freaky coincidence"!!

[@JamesBraun-o5t]

I just ran across this video and though I’m a year late I feel compelled to comment. It is not confined to the park. I live on 100 acres in the National Forest on the border. I have no clue what it is but I have been dealing with what I can only refer to as an intelligent energy. As I write this two local women are missing. For me, this energy, aside from feeling it, acts almost like a poltergeist. My people now is that the tweaker problem has increased exponentially. Thus, unless my cameras catch tweakers (which they do), it is difficult to distinguish the activity now. Two nights ago I had no water. I went out to check out the well and found the breaker for the pump shut off. It wasn’t tripped, it was fully shut off. I would think this was the work of tweakers but, not only does it make no sense but my dog won’t go anywhere near it now. Dunno…but, I’ve experienced too much for too long to just dismiss it.

The deer heads thing sounds like a poacher wanting to be left alone by other hunters or hikers. I would have called for the law enforcement rangers when I found the first head as it was obviously harvested out of season. You want to know, how I know? Deer season is very short here and there is no way any sat up all night with their back against a tree without a fire and sleeping bag in Yosemite during deer season.
