Chilling Encounters in the Wilderness: A Park Ranger's Most Terrifying Stories || REAL ST0RIES

Transcript

00:00I've been a park ranger for over a decade, patrolling some of the most remote national

00:06parks in the country.

00:08I've seen breathtaking landscapes, majestic wildlife, and serene, untouched nature.

00:15But what they don't tell you about being a ranger is the darkness that lurks just beyond

00:23the trees.

00:24These are the stories I'm about to share, the ones that keep even the bravest rangers.awake

00:31at night.

00:32It was a quiet autumn night.

00:35I was making my rounds, checking on campers, when I noticed something strange, a flickering

00:42light deep in an off-limits area.

00:45As I approached, I saw a lone campfire burning.

00:49But there was no one around.

00:52Just as I reached the clearing, the flame suddenly extinguished, and the chilling cold

00:59of the forest crept in.

01:01I radioed back, but dispatch insisted no one was camping in that area.

01:07I could still smell the smoke as I backed away, my gut telling me to leave the faceless

01:15figure.

01:16During winter, I was out looking for a missing hiker, snow covered every inch of the ground,

01:23making it hard to follow tracks.

01:26Hours passed, and just as I was about to call it in, I saw something in the distance, a

01:34figure standing perfectly still.

01:36I called out, but there was no response.

01:39When I got closer, I realized.

01:42It had no, face, just a blank, featureless, void where a, human face should be.

01:49I blinked, and it dot vanished.

01:52Into thin air, we found.

01:54The hiker.

01:56The next morning, unconscious dot and frostbitten, claiming, he'd been chased by.

02:03Something dot that wasn't human.

02:05The.

02:06Disappearing.

02:07Cabin.

02:08A few, years back, I was, responding to, reports of strange, noises, in a, remote part, of

02:18the park.

02:19As I trekked through, the dense, underbrush, I stumbled, upon an old, abandoned cabin.

02:27It looked, ancient, as, if it, had been, forgotten, for decades.

02:34The door, creaked open, revealing, dust covered, furniture, and a single, half-burnt candle,

02:43on the table, I left to, call it in, but, when I returned the, next day, with the team,

02:51the cabin, was gone.

02:54There, wasn't, a trace, of it.

02:57No foundations, no tracks, no foundations, no tracks, just an.

03:03Empty clearing.

03:04The.

03:05Whispering.

03:06Shadows.

03:07There's a.

03:08Trail.

03:09Known.

03:10To rangers.

03:11As.

03:12The whispering.

03:13Path.

03:14Hikers.

03:15Often.

03:16Report.

03:17Hearing voices.

03:18But no one.

03:19Is.

03:20Ever around.

03:21I thought.

03:22It was.

03:23Just.

03:24Folklore.

03:25Until.

03:26I had.

03:27My own.

03:28Encounter.

03:29One evening.

03:30I decided.

03:31To walk.

03:32The path.

03:33Alone.

03:34About.

03:35Halfway through.

03:36I started.

03:37Hearing faint.

03:38Whispers.

03:39Too soft.

03:40To.

03:41Make out.

03:42But.

03:43Unmistakably.

03:44As I turned around.

03:45The.

03:46Trees.

03:47Seemed to.

03:48Shift.

03:49In sway.

03:50Dark.

03:51Figures.

03:52Slipping.

03:53Between.

03:54The trunks.

03:55I ran the.

03:56Rest.

03:57In.

03:58The.

04:00Way out.

04:01Feeling.

04:02Eyes.

04:03On me.

04:04The.

04:05Entire time.

04:06The.

04:07Vanishing.

04:08Camper's dash.

04:09Search.

04:10Parties.

04:11Combed.

04:12The woods.

04:13For days.

04:14Finding.

04:15No sign of them.

04:16Until.

04:17A.

04:18Ranger.

04:19Stumbled.

04:20Upon their.

04:21Empty campsite.

04:22Tents.

04:23Were set up.

04:24Food.

04:25What.

04:26Was.

04:27There.

04:28Food.

04:29Was.

04:30Left half eaten.

04:31And.

04:32A.

04:33Fire.

04:34Was.

04:35Still.

04:36Smoldering.

04:37It was a.

04:38Quiet.

04:39Autumn night.

04:40Weeks later.

04:41Hikers.

04:42Reported.

04:43Seeing a.

04:44Family.

04:45Of four.

04:46Standing.

04:47In the middle.

04:48Of the woods.

04:49Staring.

04:50Blankly.

04:51When.

04:52Search teams.

04:53Arrived.

04:54They found.

04:55Only empty.

04:57Tents again.

04:58As.

04:59If the.

05:00Campers.

05:01Had never.

05:02Been there.
