00:00On October 10th, 2022, Alisa, a YouTube creator known for her adventurous solo van life,
00:08shared a troubling experience while traveling through the desert near Tucson, Arizona.
00:13Eager to eventually camp in Quartzsite, a popular winter destination for van dwellers,
00:18despite its scorching 100 degree Fahrenheit temperatures,
00:21she first decided to test her endurance by camping on Bureau of Land Management land near Tucson.
00:27She parked her van beneath the only tree in sight to take advantage of the rare shade,
00:32seeking solitude and a break from urban life.
00:35As she settled in, organizing her space and adjusting to the intense heat,
00:39she suddenly felt a sharp sting, an unexpected discomfort amid her preparations.
00:44Throughout her time there, Alisa also spoke about the practical challenges of solo van camping,
00:50including how she navigates the limitations of her van's layout.
00:53While filming the vast, quiet desert landscape around her,
00:56she began to hear the distant hum of an approaching ATV.
01:00Her concern quickly grew as she watched an older man on the vehicle
01:04ride directly toward her remote, isolated campsite.
01:09Hi.
01:10You okay?
01:12Yes, I am.
01:14I'm just kind of checking, making sure everybody's got enough water.
01:19Oh, okay.
01:22Are you a ranger?
01:24No, no.
01:25No, I just live close.
01:26Oh, okay.
01:27So I kind of come out and check, make sure,
01:29because I know there's a lot of people that come out here that don't have a lot.
01:33I'm fine right now.
01:34I don't know if I'll stay here, but I just wanted to check it out and see.
01:38It's pretty hot, though.
01:39Do you do this, like, is this what you do for a living?
01:43Do you, like, travel around or what?
01:45Uh, yeah, basically.
01:46Yeah?
01:47Yep.
01:47So how long have you been doing this for?
01:50Um, I've been in the van for, like, almost a year, last November, so getting close.
01:57But I was traveling around in my car since 2020, so it's been a while.
02:01So you've been a nomad for a while?
02:03Yeah.
02:04Yeah, so I'm used to it.
02:06And you're enjoying it, I suppose.
02:08Oh, yeah, definitely.
02:09All right, well, just so you know, so you're not worried,
02:12I drive by when I'm here.
02:16I actually work in Colorado.
02:18I live here, like, a while and a half from here.
02:21Okay.
02:21And so I kind of drive through when I'm here,
02:26just checking on people, making sure they got water, got what they need.
02:31Cool.
02:31Um, so if you do stay, I'll see you again, but that's all I'm doing.
02:38All right.
02:38That, that, that's spooky.
02:41Okay, well.
02:42The man introduces himself as a local who regularly patrols the area,
02:46claiming he checks on campers to see if they need water or assistance.
02:50He explains that he started this routine after being burglarized two years ago,
02:54which made him more vigilant about who comes through the area.
02:57In an unusual offer, he tells Elisa she's welcome to use the hose at his property to refill her water
03:02and even invites her to stop by for a shower, something she finds more unsettling than helpful.
03:08Though the man maintains a friendly tone, the encounter feels strangely invasive.
03:13He lingers for longer than expected, sharing his personal story in excessive detail,
03:18including the burglary and how it motivated him to make himself known to newcomers as a precautionary measure.
03:23Elisa grows uneasy, especially when he insists on checking in on her again later.
03:28After a long conversation, the man finally leaves, but his presence lingers in her mind.
03:33Elisa reflects on the experience, trying to balance the need for caution with her love of the peaceful desert solitude.
03:39Feeling uneasy about the man's overly friendly demeanor,
03:42she decides to finish her chores, doing laundry, and considers leaving the area soon.
03:47But before she can make that decision, the man returns once again on his ATV.
03:52Hi!
04:02Hey!
04:03Hi!
04:04So, you have a guy
04:06Uh-huh.
04:08on the mountain up there that is watching you with binoculars.
04:12Okay, well, that's unnerving.
04:17Um, well, I guess I won't be staying.
04:20Well, it's not that you can't stay.
04:25Just, I'll be honest with you.
04:28Yeah.
04:28The other side of the mountain is safer.
04:31Really?
04:31Yes.
04:33Okay.
04:34He's driving an older Dodge pickup.
04:38Hmm.
04:38And he told me he comes out here and offers water.
04:45Uh-huh.
04:46To people.
04:47Mm-hmm.
04:49But, I would stay away from him.
04:53He told me he parks up there and looks around to see who might need water, who might need this, who might need that.
05:06Mm-hmm.
05:07And I was like, uh, I turned and looked and went, well, her fucking camper is right in the open.
05:18Yeah.
05:18So, did you, did you catch him watching me or did he just tell you that he was watching me?
05:23Um, when I pulled up, he had his field glasses up looking this direction and I was like, uh, what are you looking at?
05:31Yeah.
05:31Um, well, I'm just looking to see if there's anybody that needs water.
05:38Hmm.
05:38So, anyway, he's, uh, you see that white truck?
05:43Um.
05:44Underneath the tree?
05:46I'm, I'm right in the tree view, so.
05:48All right, come up.
05:49Come out here and I'll show you.
05:51Just so you know.
05:53Yeah, it's also just odd that there's not really anybody out here.
05:55Get a, get a good description of that truck?
05:59It was a white truck.
06:00It's white and burgundy.
06:05Honestly, I'd move to the other side.
06:08See, I mean, I did want to stay because it's nice out here and it's quiet, but if there's somebody watching me, then obviously I don't think I should stay out here at all.
06:16Well, that's fine.
06:17That's, that's your choice, too.
06:19Yeah.
06:24That's really sucks.
06:26It was really nice out here, but.
06:28Well, at least I got to put my laundry away.
06:30It's always easier to do housekeeping out in the open rather than in the city somewhere.
06:37So just finishing up my laundry and then I'll probably have to leave, but that's okay.
06:44Okay.
07:00This time, the man informs Elisa that he saw someone watching her from a nearby hill using binoculars, a revelation that significantly heightens her unease.
07:21He describes the observer as being in a white and burgundy truck on the opposite side of the mountain while warning her to stay alert and suggesting she consider relocating.
07:30He casually mentions that he, too, sometimes watches the area to check if anyone needs help, mirroring the exact behavior he attributes to the supposed stranger.
07:38His words and lingering stares, punctuated by long, uncomfortable silences, make Elisa feel even more on edge.
07:45Sensing the situation escalating, she bluntly asks if he needs anything, prompting him to finally leave.
07:51Still, the encounter leaves her rattled.
07:54Although she had considered staying another night, the man's inconsistent and intrusive behavior solidifies her decision to leave immediately.
08:02With growing urgency, she quickly dismantles her camp, packs up her gear, removes her solar panels, and drives back toward town.
08:11On the way, she reflects on the disturbing series of events.
08:15While van life offers freedom and adventure, moments like this remind her of the real risks solo travelers, especially women, can face.
08:25Later, after resting and gaining some distance from the experience, Elisa records a follow-up video to process the encounter.
08:33She notes several red flags.
08:34The man's failure to bring any water despite claiming to distribute it, his suggestion to move her van to a more exposed location, and his eerily persistent presence.
08:45She draws parallels between his behavior and that of known predators, suspecting that his actions may have been part of a calculated effort to intimidate or manipulate her.
08:55Though his true intentions remain unclear, the experience serves as a stark reminder that the most unsettling thing a solo traveler can encounter in the wilderness is another person.
09:06Elisa's documentation of the incident offers a chilling look at the potential danger solo female van lifers can face, and the importance of trusting one's instincts.
09:15This footage comes from Brendan, a travel vlogger and creator of the YouTube channel, Brendan Explores.
09:21In this vlog, he takes viewers on what begins as a peaceful van camping adventure, but soon turns into something far more unsettling.
09:31The journey starts in the village of Dedham, where Brendan enjoys the charming countryside, local wildlife, and tranquil surroundings.
09:39After a relaxed morning walk, he cooks a simple lunch in his van and continues to explore, clearly appreciating the serenity and slower pace of rural England.
09:48Later, Brendan decides to head toward Jaywick, a small seaside town often labeled as one of the UK's most deprived areas.
09:57Intrigued by its reputation, he wants to see it for himself, and plans to spend the night there.
10:02As he drives through Jaywick, he notes the mix of run-down homes and signs of urban decay.
10:07Though initially skeptical of the town's negative image, he begins to feel uneasy as he observes burnt-out bins and graffiti, suggesting a rougher environment than he anticipated.
10:17He eventually parks in a more concealed area, hoping to feel a bit safer, though the atmosphere remains unsettling.
10:25As dusk falls, Brendan wisely decides to cook his dinner before night sets in, preferring the relative safety of daylight and the presence of nearby residents to avoid drawing unwanted attention.
10:36After dinner, he ventures out to film more of Jaywick, capturing shots of local shops and commenting on the town's unique, if weathered, character.
10:45Despite its rough edges, he finds the experience more peaceful than expected, and notes that his initial impressions weren't entirely accurate.
10:53However, as night descends, the mood shifts.
10:57Brendan starts to feel increasingly vulnerable.
10:59He hears the revving of cars, sees people loitering, and catches the sound of minibikes zipping by, all of which contribute to his growing unease.
11:07Concerned for his safety, he relocates his van to a quieter, more remote spot near farmland, hoping for a more secure place to sleep.
11:16As he settles in for the night, the isolation offers some comfort, but he remains alert.
11:21He reflects on the risks that come with solo van life, especially in unfamiliar or troubled areas.
11:26Suddenly, the silence is shattered.
11:28Someone tries to open his van door.
11:31In a shocking moment, the intruder breaks the van's glass, turning what began as a peaceful adventure into a terrifying ordeal.
11:43I think someone's outside the back.
11:53That must do.
11:54Someone just dropped the door.
12:07Hey!
12:20Brendan's sense of safety is completely shattered, gripped by fear.
12:24He instinctively yells at the intruder, which causes the person to flee.
12:28Though the immediate danger has passed, the experience leaves Brendan deeply shaken.
12:32He quickly evaluates his options and decides to leave Jaywick without delay, choosing to drive straight home.
12:38The drive back is long, tense, and uncomfortable.
12:42The broken window lets in a cold draft, making the van feel even more unwelcoming.
12:46When he finally arrives home, he's relieved to be safe, but emotionally exhausted and mentally drained by the traumatic event.
12:53In the days that follow, Brendan struggles to process what happened.
12:57The violation of his personal space lingers in his mind.
13:00He shares his thoughts in a follow-up video, not to scare others away from van life, but to promote caution and awareness.
13:07Although he's spent countless nights camping without issue, this incident has shifted his perspective, especially when it comes to staying in isolated or high-risk areas.
13:16Brendan advises fellow van lifers to prioritize visibility and safety, suggesting that parking in more populated or secure areas can help reduce risk.
13:25He believes the intruder may have mistaken his setup for something valuable, particularly since his window coverings might have drawn attention.
13:33In economically challenged areas, an unfamiliar van can easily be seen as a target.
13:39The experience has made Brendan more conscious of how his van appears to others, and how important it is to blend in with the environment.
13:46He now approaches van life with increased awareness, understanding that being an outsider, especially in struggling communities, can come with unexpected risks.
13:54This footage, featured on the Exploring the Unknown YouTube channel and uploaded on September 5th, 2021, captures the narrator recounting a recent camping trip taken with a friend named Katana in a remote region of Michigan's backwoods.
14:12The pair set out with the intention of escaping into nature and enjoying the peaceful isolation of the wilderness, but the trip soon took a chilling turn.
14:19Their adventure begins as they navigate winding forest roads, eventually reaching a secluded campsite deep in the woods.
14:27The area is remote, with dense trees and only a few scattered campers nearby.
14:31As night falls, the two settle into a shared hammock, hoping for a quiet night's rest.
14:37However, around midnight, they begin hearing rustling sounds nearby.
14:41At first, they try to dismiss it, perhaps a raccoon or some other harmless animal,
14:46but the unsettling silence of the forest makes the noise feel uncomfortably close and far more sinister.
14:52The narrator notes that prior to arriving, they had read online reviews that described the region as eerily quiet,
14:59with minimal wildlife activity and almost no bird calls.
15:02That context only heightens their unease.
15:05The rustling seems out of place for such a silent environment.
15:08By 4am, the sounds grow more intense, and the narrator awakens to the faint sound of yelping in the distance.
15:14An eerie and unexplained noise that adds to the growing sense of dread.
15:19The yelping is coming from this direction.
15:32They sit upright, listening closely,
15:35trying to determine whether the strange noise could be coming from another nearby campsite,
15:39or perhaps an unfamiliar animal.
15:41They attempt to reason with themselves, suggesting it might be coming from campers across the lake,
15:47or possibly some distant wildlife call.
15:49However, the uncertainty surrounding the sound's origin only heightens their unease.
15:55As the noise seems to shift locations, their confusion grows,
15:59making it harder to dismiss the creeping sense of vulnerability.
16:03Then, faint footsteps begin to blend with the distant yelping,
16:06pushing their concern into real fear.
16:08The presence, whatever it may be,
16:11suddenly feels much closer, and more threatening.
16:15What the fuck?
16:30It's 4 in the morning, who's going to be up?
16:53I know. That's what I'm saying. It's weird.
16:56It's fucking weird.
17:00But we're up.
17:01They speculate that someone might be nearby, possibly approaching them,
17:06but they can't see anyone or confirm their suspicions.
17:10After several tense minutes, they debate their options.
17:13Whether to stay in the car, try to go back to sleep, or leave the site entirely.
17:18In the end, they decide that staying put is too risky,
17:21given the strange sounds and unsettling experiences they've had since arriving.
17:25As they leave, a persistent feeling of being watched lingers,
17:29but they push forward, driven by an urgent need to reach a safer place.
17:33They eventually make it back to town, and finally relax amid the comfort of civilization.
17:38Days after returning home, they receive a disturbing message from Katana's mother,
17:43who tells them about news reports of a couple who were killed while camping in Michigan.
17:47Although the report doesn't specify the exact location,
17:51the coincidence sends a chill down the narrator's spine.
17:54They can't help but wonder if the eerie events at their campsite were connected in some way,
17:59leaving them deeply unsettled and questioning everything they experienced.
18:03Many also found it strange that red lights were flickering in the area.
18:06On September 13th, 2021, travel vlogger Sarah shared a chilling story from her time,
18:13living a nomadic life in her van.
18:15She recounted a terrifying incident in Asheville, North Carolina,
18:19where an unknown man tried to break into her vehicle.
18:22That night, she was parked in a Cracker Barrel lot,
18:25a common overnight spot for travelers looking for a safe place to rest.
18:29At first, everything felt normal.
18:31Sarah had come to Asheville to use a local gym and get some work done.
18:35With its artsy and creative atmosphere, the city seemed like an ideal stop.
18:41She spent her days exploring its vibrant restaurants, quirky shops, and unique culture.
18:45But on her second night, that sense of safety shattered
18:48when a stranger approached her van and began making unsettling demands.
18:52No, her. Please leave me be.
19:01Are you okay?
19:05Fuck your camera, man.
19:12The incident began when a loud number,
19:42knock on her van door startled Sarah as she was preparing dinner.
19:46Hoping it would stop, she initially ignored it,
19:48turning off the lights and silencing any noise to avoid drawing attention.
19:52But the stranger was persistent.
19:53He began knocking on different parts of the van,
19:56demanding to see a woman he claimed was inside.
19:59Sarah suspected the man was under the influence of drugs.
20:02He appeared agitated and incoherent,
20:04accusing a woman, whom he believed had broken his heart,
20:08of hiding inside her van.
20:09Convinced Sarah was concealing someone,
20:12he demanded proof that she wasn't the woman he was looking for.
20:15Remaining calm inside,
20:17Sarah firmly told him to leave and insisted she didn't know him.
20:21But he continued circling the van,
20:23peering into the windows,
20:24escalating the tension with each passing moment.
20:27As the situation grew more threatening,
20:29Sarah began recording the encounter on her phone,
20:32both as a safety measure and in case she needed to present evidence to the police.
20:35She feared things could escalate and wanted to be prepared.
20:39Despite having pepper spray and other self-defense tools,
20:42Sarah was determined to avoid confrontation.
20:45Her instinct was to get away, not fight.
20:48She quickly packed up her belongings,
20:50leaving her cooking gear still out,
20:52and slowly drove away from the Cracker Barrel parking lot.
20:55Once she had moved a short distance and secured her items,
20:58she continued driving until she was ten miles away.
21:00There, in a safer location,
21:03she contacted the police and gave a detailed report,
21:06including a description of the man.
21:08Reflecting on the experience,
21:10Sarah described how shaken she felt,
21:12particularly as a solo traveler in such a vulnerable situation.
21:16The incident left her emotionally drained.
21:18She lost her appetite and struggled to feel at ease even after relocating.
21:22She noted how, in moments of danger,
21:25the body's fight-or-flight response takes over.
21:27And for her, the instinct to flee was stronger than the urge to stand her ground.
21:33Sarah emphasized the importance of staying mentally prepared
21:36and level-headed during unsettling experiences.
21:39She believes that aggressors often try to provoke emotional reactions
21:42in order to gain control, feeding off fear and panic.
21:46By staying calm and centered,
21:47she was able to act wisely rather than impulsively.
21:50In the days following the incident,
21:52Sarah found solace in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
21:54surrounded by the soothing sounds of birds and the beauty of nature.
21:58She began to feel a sense of peace return.
22:00The experience, though traumatic,
22:02reminded her of the strength and resilience her nomadic lifestyle had fostered.
22:06As she neared the end of her video,
22:08Sarah shared a powerful message.
22:10In moments of fear,
22:12staying grounded can make all the difference.
22:14Though the event left a mark,
22:16it reinforced her dedication to the road
22:18and her commitment to sharing her journey honestly.
22:21By opening up about the encounter,
22:23she hopes to inspire other travelers to stay prepared,
22:26stay calm,
22:27and trust their inner strength.
22:30Ultimately,
22:31Sarah emerged from the ordeal stronger.
22:33But it's chilling to think how differently things might have ended
22:36had she opened the door that night.
22:38Out of fear.
22:38Exploring with Bear,
22:41also known as Jer-Bear or Jared,
22:42is a vlogger known for his solo adventures into the paranormal.
22:46In this video,
22:47he ventures alone into the infamous ghost town of Helltown,
22:51located in Boston Mills, Ohio,
22:54a place steeped in urban legends involving hauntings,
22:57satanic cults,
22:58and supernatural phenomena.
23:00Jared's goal is to reach a notorious site known as the Satanic Barn,
23:04a location allegedly tied to dark rituals and mysterious activity.
23:09While he had previously explored the area with a friend,
23:11this time he is completely alone,
23:13which heightens the tension
23:15and deepens the unsettling vibe of the surroundings.
23:18The night begins with Jared parked in his truck along a deserted road.
23:22He sets up a small camp and lights a fire,
23:25explaining the gear he brought along,
23:27warm clothing,
23:28essential supplies,
23:29and equipment for the overnight stay.
23:31The location,
23:32once part of the town of Boston Mills,
23:35became infamous after the U.S. government purchased the land in the 1970s for conservation purposes,
23:41resulting in a mass evacuation.
23:43Since then,
23:45Helltown has become a hotspot for ghost stories and strange rumors,
23:49including tales of chemical spills that supposedly cause mutations in animals,
23:53and even people,
23:55as well as sightings of shadowy figures,
23:57and accounts of cult activity.
23:58As Jared retells these eerie stories,
24:01he builds suspense before setting out into the darkness.
24:05Just before midnight,
24:06he begins walking down the so-called
24:08End of the World Road,
24:10a stretch of road feared by locals for its dark reputation.
24:13Legend has it
24:14that this road is cursed,
24:16linked to unexplained car crashes,
24:18and a mysterious force that causes drivers to lose control.
24:22Soon after stepping onto the path,
24:24Jared starts to hear strange, unexplained sounds,
24:26footsteps crunching through leaves,
24:29rustling in the distance,
24:30and occasional whistling.
24:31Despite seeing no one nearby,
24:33the sounds persist,
24:35feeding into the town's haunted reputation,
24:37and increasing the sense of danger surrounding his solo exploration.
24:40Oh my goodness,
24:44I thought somebody was standing right beside me.
24:47Man, I haven't even started the walk yet.
24:51This sounded like somebody back there in the woods.
24:53With only his flashlight dimly lighting the path ahead,
25:08Jared constantly scans his surroundings,
25:10growing more unsettled as the strange noises seem to trail him through the woods.
25:14As he ventures deeper into the forest,
25:16an overwhelming sense of being watched creeps in.
25:19He can feel a chilling presence nearby,
25:20though he sees no one.
25:22Despite his rising fear,
25:24Jared pushes on,
25:26commenting on the sinister past of the satanic barn,
25:29and the eerie, abandoned structures scattered throughout the area.
25:33The trail is long,
25:34cloaked in darkness,
25:36and surrounded by thick,
25:37foreboding forest.
25:39Jared openly shares his unease,
25:41at times considering turning back,
25:43but he remains determined to reach his destination.
25:46Tension builds as his flashlight starts to flicker,
25:49the weakening beam heightening his anxiety.
25:52The thought of being left in total darkness terrifies him.
25:54Throughout the hike,
25:55strange and unexplainable sounds from the woods seem to stalk him,
25:59testing his nerves at every step.
26:01Then suddenly,
26:03a loud, bone-chilling scream echoes from deeper within the forest.
26:07The horrifying sound pierces the night and pushes his fear to a new level,
26:11confirming that something,
26:12possibly something unearthly,
26:14is out there.
26:40Goosebumps cover his skin,
26:41and his heart races a physical manifestation of the fear coursing through him,
26:45as the feeling of not being alone intensifies.
26:48Each step forward is filled with a tense mix of dread and anticipation.
26:52Eventually,
26:53Jared arrives at the barn,
26:55but any sense of relief quickly vanishes,
26:57when he hears another unsettling noise,
26:59this time coming from either within,
27:01or just outside the structure itself.
27:03The barn,
27:05steeped in dark legends of satanic rituals and
27:07sacrificial rites exudes a deeply unsettling presence.
27:12The atmosphere feels heavy and oppressive,
27:14and by now,
27:15Jared is visibly shaken.
27:16He expresses a strong desire to leave immediately,
27:19deciding against exploring the barn any further.
27:22Disturbed by the eerie noises and the constant sensation of being watched,
27:25he quickly begins his retreat.
27:27As he makes the long trek back to his truck,
27:30the forest remains alive with faint,
27:31unnerving sounds,
27:33whispers,
27:34rustling in the grass,
27:36and distant,
27:37ghostly whistles.
27:38These noises seem to shadow him,
27:40growing more persistent as his anxiety rises.
27:43Jared tries to quicken his pace while remaining as quiet as possible,
27:47frequently glancing over his shoulder,
27:49half expecting to catch a glimpse of someone,
27:51or something behind him.
27:53Each time,
27:54he finds nothing but darkness.
27:55Upon reaching his truck,
27:57he climbs in and locks the doors,
27:59hoping the vehicle will offer a sense of safety.
28:02But just as he begins to settle down,
28:04a loud thud hits the side of the truck,
28:06an alarming noise that feels like someone,
28:08or something,
28:10is trying to get in.
28:11The terror isn't over yet.
28:15Did you hear the footsteps?
28:23Footsteps just came from up there.
28:25Oh, that's so loud.
28:36There it is again.
28:40Oh my goodness.
28:42I didn't see anybody up there.
28:44There was nobody here.
28:46There was nobody here.
28:47I feel like I'm going to puke.
29:00The freaking way.
29:03Did that just happen?
29:09The freaking way.
29:11Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:12Hello?
29:13Hello?
29:13Hello?
29:14Hello?
29:14Hello?
29:14Hello?
29:15I got my thing in my hand, guys.
29:19I'm ready.
29:21Right now, if I have to be.
29:23Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:24Hello?
29:25I heard you walking up here.
29:33I heard something outside.
29:36I did fall asleep.
29:39It sounded like something hit my truck.
29:42What is it?
29:43What is it?
29:44What is it?
29:45Oh, somebody's there.
29:47Somebody's there.
29:48Where's my freaking light?
29:49Where's the freaking?
29:56Hey.
30:03There's a car there.
30:08Hold on.
30:10Where's my keys?
30:12Where's the keys?
30:14Where's the keys?
30:14Where's the keys?
30:14Where's the keys?
30:14Where's the keys?
30:21Somebody was trying to get in the truck.
30:25Where's my thing?
30:26Where's my...
30:26Where's my thing?
30:28Yeah, there's...
30:29Where's everything at?
30:35Where's my gun?
30:36There it is.
30:38Okay.
30:40Hold on.
30:42Startled, Jared fumbles for his flashlight and self-defense tools, trying to steady his nerves.
30:47He scans the area outside, but sees nothing clearly, only the briefest hint of movement
30:52in the shadows.
30:53Reflecting on the night, he describes it as one of the most terrifying experiences of his
30:58paranormal explorations.
31:00Realizing he's reached his breaking point, Jared makes the decision to leave Helltown immediately,
31:05unwilling to remain in such a haunted, oppressive place any longer.
31:08He expresses a mix of relief and lingering regret.
31:12Thankful to have made it through the night unharmed, yet deeply disturbed by what he encountered.
31:17Whatever was out there remains a mystery.
31:19But one thing is certain, Helltown is full of secrets.
31:22Ones that perhaps were never meant to be uncovered.
31:25In this video, WanderingWare takes viewers along on a spontaneous car camping adventure in the
31:30Peak District.
31:31The host begins his journey late at night, arriving in the early morning hours with a
31:36mix of excitement and concern.
31:38While he's thrilled to be surrounded by stunning countryside views, he's also wary of the stormy
31:43weather forecasted for the coming days.
31:46When deterred, he comes prepared with waterproof gear and a spirit of exploration, eager to discover
31:52new camping locations.
31:54His plan includes scouting car camping spots around Tissington, likely referring to Tissington
31:59Trail or Tissington Area, a region known for its scenic hiking routes.
32:05Although he's heard positive things about some of these areas, he remains cautious due
32:09to recent reports of increased restrictions and no overnight parking signs.
32:14Navigating narrow, winding, single-lane roads, the host comments on the deteriorating state
32:19of his car's exhaust system, in his hope to avoid rough terrain to prevent further damage.
32:25When he reaches the first potential site, he's impressed by its charm, complete with
32:29a small lake and panoramic views, but notes the nearby houses may pose privacy concerns.
32:35Choosing not to risk disturbing residents or being asked to leave, he moves on to a second
32:40location.
32:41This second site has received mixed feedback online regarding overnight stays, so the host
32:45is determined to assess the situation himself.
32:48Upon arrival, he spots several prominent signs, strictly forbidding camping and warning that vehicles
32:54staying overnight will be recorded.
32:56Disappointed but still curious, he consults the trail maps to see if access to Tissington
33:01Nose, or a similarly named location, is still available.
33:05Undaunted, he gears up and heads out for a hike.
33:08The worsening weather adds a layer of urgency to his situation, and as night approaches, he
33:12decides to remain at the second location despite the no camping signage.
33:17The combination of stormy conditions, poor visibility, and unfamiliar roads makes relocating
33:22seem more dangerous than staying put.
33:25Just as he starts to settle in, a van pulls into the area.
33:28The occupants begin behaving oddly, immediately putting the host on edge.
33:33His anxiety grows when a second vehicle arrives, heightening his sense of vulnerability.
33:38Though he briefly considers moving, he ultimately decides that staying where he is, despite the
33:43uncomfortable atmosphere, feels safer than risking an accident on treacherous roads in
33:48the dark.
33:49The experience becomes a tense reminder that car camping, while often peaceful and rewarding,
33:55can carry unexpected challenges, especially when weather, isolation, and unfamiliar people
34:00converge.
34:01What the fucking hell's going on?
34:02Someone's just pulled up, man, and they're popping around like a madman.
34:06What the fuck?
34:08Right, this is well, Dodger.
34:10Someone's just pulled up.
34:11Right next to me, popping around like a madman.
34:14That van's over the way.
34:15I don't know what to do, to be honest.
34:16Oh, man.
34:17I'll keep the light low, but down, that's made me stop shaking a little bit.
34:21They're still sat there as well.
34:22I don't know what to do.
34:23Oh, man.
34:24It's ten o'clock at night.
34:25Ah, yeah.
34:26I guess I'm thinking I'm gonna risk it and leave, but I'm only up the road if I go to
34:36that other spot, literally like 500 metres.
34:39There's another van here, eh?
34:40What's stopping them coming up there?
34:41I don't know what to do.
34:42I don't know what to do.
34:43I don't know what to do, to be honest.
34:44Oh, man.
34:45I'll keep the light low, but down, that's made me stop shaking a little bit.
34:48They're still sat there as well.
34:49I don't know what to do.
34:50Oh, man.
34:51It's ten o'clock at night.
34:52I guess I'm thinking I'm gonna risk it and leave, but I'm only up the road if I go to
34:55stopping them coming up there and bothering me there.
34:58Probably just some kids come up for a smoke, but you don't know who do.
35:02That's probably what they do here, because of the no overnight stein.
35:05Probably just some kids or something, eh?
35:08I'm gonna take a little frigate.
35:14Stick me light on them.
35:16Tension continues to mount as the host anxiously waits to see what will unfold next,
35:21feeling exposed and uneasy in the dark, isolated surroundings.
35:25The experience leaves him visibly unsettled.
35:28Fortunately, after some time, the other vehicles eventually drive away,
35:32allowing him to finally relax and breathe a sigh of relief.
35:35The next morning, he wakes up late, having slept for nearly 11 hours,
35:39clearly exhausted from the stress of the previous night.
35:42As he reflects on the situation, he's thankful that things didn't take a darker turn,
35:46but admits the incident left a lasting impact on his sense of safety.
35:50Despite the unsettling experience,
35:52he still takes a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of the Peak District,
35:56finding some solace in the serene landscape around him.
