00:00Meanwhile, a family began noticing peculiar holes appearing in their backyard fence.
00:05Curious, they reviewed their security footage to uncover the cause,
00:09and what they discovered was far more than they had anticipated.
00:30Late at night, a humanoid figure emerged.
00:37At one moment, it seemed to attempt breaking through.
00:39No one knows exactly what the entity was, but the footage is enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
00:45Fortunately for the family, whatever it was, never managed to cross over.
00:50A boy went to his family's car to retrieve something when this occurred.
00:53He had only just opened the car door when a chilling, blood-curdling scream erupted.
01:03He quickly rushed inside and informed his parents, who then examined the security camera footage.
01:09The camera had also recorded the scream.
01:15No one could determine its cause.
01:17There was no one around and no indication of its origin.
01:19However, whatever it was, it certainly wasn't ordinary.
01:24Cody had been living on his property for 22 years when something unusual occurred.
01:30So I was mowing the yard yesterday and seen this little square patch of grass.
01:35It's never been here before.
01:37It's dead.
01:38When I drove over it, it kind of sank.
01:42And I came over here with a shovel and tapped on it.
01:45Let me get a little closer.
01:47It's some kind of door.
01:48I've been here 22 years, and this has never been here before.
01:52So I really don't know what to think about it.
01:55But about 1944, there was an old cabin here that burnt down.
02:04And it may be some kind of well or storm cellar or something.
02:09I may dig it up if enough people show any kind of interest in it and want to know what it is.
02:13While mowing the yard, he observed a gentle area of grass that was previously absent.
02:19Intrigued, he examined it closely and found a concealed door beneath the grass.
02:23Extracting it was challenging.
02:25But finally, he succeeded in opening it.
02:27Well, it wasn't easy, but it's open.
02:31I don't know if it's an old septic or an old well.
02:33It was way out here in the field away from everything.
02:37But I had about a 15-foot stick of conduit.
02:43I stuck it down in there and couldn't touch the bottom.
02:47I do have an old pump.
02:49I'm going to stick in there and pump all the water out and see what in the world is down there.
02:53There's no telling.
02:54As long as it ain't an old septic.
02:56I see what y'all think.
02:57If anybody knows, let me know.
02:58But that's what it was.
03:02I had no idea it was here, so now y'all know.
03:06It resembled either an ancient well or perhaps a storm shelter.
03:11With a long metal stick, he couldn't even reach the bottom.
03:14That evening, strange noises began emanating from beneath his house.
03:18He took a camera and went downstairs to explore what was causing the sounds.
03:28What he captured was not merely creepy, but downright frightening.
03:40What are your thoughts?
03:42This man was unloading his groceries.
03:44With his back turned to the security camera, everything seemed normal at the time.
03:48Just another typical day.
03:49However, upon reviewing the footage later, he noticed something unusual.
03:54In one of the snapshots, a figure appears standing right beside the car.
03:57He maintains that he was alone, claiming he didn't hear or see anyone, yet the image suggests otherwise.
04:03The figure doesn't seem threatening, but its sudden and unexplained presence has people talking.
04:09Honestly, it feels like there's more to the story.
04:12Perhaps he wasn't alone and is just seeking some attention with this image.
04:16Adam was hiking with his father, but at that particular moment, he was by himself.
04:21That's when it occurred.
04:21I passed someone on the trail, like a guy, he looked like he was from the 80s.
04:27He was wearing a full suit that looked like he was from the 80s.
04:31And I was like, ew, I don't like that.
04:33I got a weird vibe from him.
04:34And look at what I just found.
04:44Is this not terrifying?
04:45The man remained silent, calmly setting a briefcase on the ground before walking away.
04:56Intrigued and unsettled, the hiker opened it.
04:58Inside, there was only an old map dated 1989.
05:02Nothing more.
05:03Yet the man in the suit was still nearby.
05:06Could he have been a time traveler from the 80s?
05:08Brayden, a man from Appalachia, was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night by unusual
05:14sounds coming from the upstairs bedroom.
05:16Half asleep and curious, he reached for his phone to record the noise before heading upstairs
05:21to investigate.
05:27What the fuck?
05:28Wow, it's really bad right now.
05:53Okay, hold on.
05:53However, what he recorded was not merely the sound of creaking floors or wind.
06:00The audio revealed something more unsettling.
06:02His own voice calling him upstairs.
06:05Jesus.
06:07Okay, hold on.
06:09Why is the tree on that?
06:11Whatever that is, is coming from up here.
06:18Should I attempt to go on that?
06:21Fuck.
06:21Because that was coming, all that thumping, it was coming from like right in there, in
06:27that room.
06:28Okay.
06:29Come up here for a sec, man.
06:30What the fuck?
06:36What the fuck was that?
06:44You guys, did I just hear that right?
06:47Yeah, I'll hear you now.
06:48Okay.
06:51The sound was distinct and impossible to dismiss, not a mere echo or glitch.
06:56Brayden suspects it was a mimic, copying his voice.
07:00Do you think he staged this?
07:02If so, how might he have done it?
07:04A local resident recently captured this photo with their security camera, and they believe
07:09it shows a ghost strolling through the woods.
07:11The figure's face is invisible, and the clothing appears unusual.
07:15Was it truly a ghost, or merely an unsettling person?
07:20While exploring a mountain river deep within the Appalachian forest, a group of Russian
07:24tourists claimed to have spotted a massive, dark creature.
07:28It featured an oddly cone-shaped head and unusually long arms that extended above the water.
07:33The creature briefly turned to face them, locking eyes in a few tense and unsettling moments.
07:39Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished into the thick woods.
07:43The true identity of the creature remains unknown, but its description strongly resembles that of Bigfoot.
07:48A man was out making late-night deliveries, when he noticed something unusual by the side
07:54of the road, and caught his attention, standing out from the normal surroundings.
07:58Curious, he slowed down to get a better look, but whatever it was, quickly disappeared into
08:03the darkness.
08:04Could it have been just his imagination, or was there truly something strange nearby?
08:18In the dark, a small child sat softly swinging on a swing.
08:24The scene was unusual.
08:25There were no houses nearby, and it was the middle of the night.
08:28The quiet, eerie image raised questions about who, or what, the child might be, and why they
08:33were there at such an hour.
08:35I'm sorry, mate.
08:36Fucking look at this.
08:41Fucking motherfucker, won't it?
08:45Look, seriously?
08:46He pulled over, but when he looked again, the child had disappeared.
08:52Only the swing was still moving, its creaking faintly echoing as if someone had just been
08:56there.
08:57The man suddenly felt a chill in the air.
08:59Was it a ghost?
09:00Was there really a child?
09:01Feeling unnerved, he hurriedly drove away.
09:04One evening, as he was relaxing on the couch, a man observed something unusual peering through
09:09the screen door.
09:10Initially, he believed it might be a cow, or perhaps a goat, but as he continued to watch,
09:15its appearance became increasingly baffling.
09:19It lacked ears, and its posture seemed strange and unnatural.
09:22Its front half was upright, while the back appeared folded underneath resembling a kneeling
09:26position.
09:27To this day, no one has determined what it was, or what its intentions might have been.
09:33A Reddit user captured a photo late at night, not paying much attention until they examined
09:37it more closely.
09:39Behind a house, something white was just barely visible.
09:42It wasn't smoke or a glare from a light.
09:44It resembled a person, or at least a humanoid figure, partially obscured and stationary.
09:49No one had witnessed it in real time.
09:51Only the camera had recorded it.
09:53A hiker and his family were traveling through a vast expanse of the Appalachian meadows.
09:59At some point in the middle of that empty field, they encountered a woman.
10:03Suddenly, she snapped without warning.
10:05I have kids in the car, you better go.
10:07I have kids in the car, you better go.
10:12What?
10:17Who is that?
10:19Who is that?
10:19They're calling me a damn fucking kid!
10:21You should do that!
10:25You better get back.
10:29Jeff's after you!
10:30Jeff's right there here, doing shit!
10:31No one is quite sure what caused her to react or what was going on.
10:41Fortunately, she eventually settled down, and the hiker drove away.
10:45A Reddit user and his friend were hanging out late at night with a group on a 60-acre property,
10:51though they mostly stayed within a five-acre area.
10:54To pass the time, they played hide-and-seek.
10:57Suddenly, a sharp, eerie scream echoed from the nearby woods.
11:01They initially thought it might have been a coyote, but something about the sound felt off.
11:06Cautiously, they aimed their phone toward the source of the noise and took a photo.
11:10When they examined the picture, they noticed a white figure that resembled a skinwalker.
11:15While it could have been anything, the strange sounds and unsettling atmosphere made them wonder,
11:20could it have really been a skinwalker?
11:22A woman named Morgan resides deep within the secluded areas of the Appalachian Mountains.
11:28She frequently posts about her paranormal experiences online, but one frightening encounter keeps recurring.
11:34Morgan has repeatedly recorded the same eerie figure on camera.
11:37It resembles her husband in height and build, yet it never turns around.
11:41It always faces away.
11:42However, this isn't the only terrifying thing she's captured.
11:47I'm at my family's haunted farm.
11:49I was gonna come explore with my husband today, but he couldn't get off from work because he's boring,
11:53so I thought I'd bring you guys.
11:55Hey!
12:01Hey!
12:05Hey!
12:06Several times, her audio devices have captured the eerie noise of Appalachian hay,
12:16a strange phenomenon where a sound originating deep within the woods imitates human voices.
12:21The Logos suspect that the mountains are inhabited by mimics,
12:25entities that assume the appearance and voice of trusted individuals.
12:29Late at night, a security camera near a forest road recorded something frightening.
12:32Hey!
12:33Hey!
12:33Hey!
12:34Hey!
12:34Hey!
12:35Hey!
12:35Hey!
12:36Hey!
12:37Hey!
12:38Hey!
12:39Hey!
12:40Hey!
12:41Hey!
12:42Hey!
12:43Hey!
12:44Hey!
12:45Hey!
12:46Hey!
12:47Hey!
12:48Hey!
12:49Hey!
12:50Hey!
12:51Hey!
12:52Hey!
12:53Hey!
12:54Hey!
12:55Hey!
12:56Hey!
12:57Hey!
12:58Hey!
12:59Hey!
13:00Hey!
13:01Hey!
13:02Hey!
13:03Hey!
13:04Hey!
13:05Hey!
13:06In the distance, a ghostly figure dressed in white appeared to glide along the trail.
13:11Soon after, the local stray dogs began to bark loudly.
13:15Whatever they saw was clearly unsettling.
13:17No ordinary person would walk that path at such a time,
13:20especially since it's so remote and difficult to access without a car.
13:24Perhaps it wasn't even human.
13:25A hiker captured some strange footage on camera,
13:29something he couldn't quite comprehend.
13:31It was a red, glowing orb with no sound and no apparent source.
13:35Just a fiery object floating upward through the forest.
13:38Some believe it could be a spirit from tribal legends,
13:41while others suggest it might have been a flare or a drone.
13:44However, according to the hiker, it didn't seem man-made.
13:48To this day, no one has been able to provide a definitive explanation for what he recorded.
13:53In July 2008, a man was out with his camera,
13:57aiming to photograph local wildlife on a warm summer day.
14:01Instead of capturing elk or deer,
14:03he recorded something much more bizarre and unexplained.
14:08Last week, we posted this video of what we believe is the Yellow Top Bigfoot of Colorado.
14:16What we're posting today is a version of this footage that has been zoomed in,
14:19so you can better see the creature.
14:22And hopefully this will make up for the low rate.
14:25It wasn't a bear, and certainly not a human.
14:27But then it appeared. He was utterly stunned by what he was witnessing.
14:31And so are we.
14:32Famous actor Henry Cavill, best known for playing Superman, once shared a casual video on Instagram
14:39of himself building a gaming PC. At first, it appeared to be a straightforward tech tutorial,
14:45showcasing his hardware skills and enthusiasm. However, things soon took an unusual turn.
14:50Viewers noticed a haunting face peering through the window behind him.
14:53It didn't seem staged, and Cavill showed no reaction. In the comments, some claimed it was a
14:59ghost, while others thought it might be a painting. A few even speculated it was an elaborate promotional
15:05stunt for a new movie. To this day, that theory remains unconfirmed. So, what was that unsettling
15:11figure in his window? In June 2020, Chris Hopkins and his friends ventured into an old naval base with
15:18his crew on a cold, windy night. Just moments after entering, something extraordinary occurred.
15:26This looks so weird. Looks like a cave thing over there.
15:31What the hell is that?
15:36However, they continued on without incident, until they were making their way through the woods.
15:41As they pushed through a fence to get to their car, they suddenly heard something pursuing them.
15:45It wasn't my car, it was doing it.
15:50Make sure you don't get caught on the fence.
15:52They acted quickly. Whatever it was, it was intense and authentic. Chris Gamer, 08, had just
16:05arrived home, feeling exhausted, when something unusual caught their attention. Through the window,
16:10two glowing eyes were fixed directly on them. Surprised yet intrigued, they swiftly took a photo and posted
16:16it on Reddit, seeking help to identify what they were witnessing. To date, no definitive explanation
16:22has emerged. It could have been simply an animal, perhaps. However, in the Appalachian area, you can
16:29never be entirely sure. Green Gables, a century-old fine dining establishment in Jennertown, Pennsylvania,
16:36has long been known for its haunted reputation. One employee, feeling uncomfortable with the eerie
16:41environment, frequently recorded footage during late shifts. One night, their instincts proved to be
16:47correct. I can't even describe what it feels like right now. Like, this is just... what the f*** is that?
16:59Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! A shadowy figure's hand clearly slid over the statue's waist,
17:06making it impossible to dismiss as merely a lighting illusion. Naturally,
17:10the footage could have been fabricated. Ultimately, we're left uncertain about what to trust.
17:16The footage from this home security camera in Appalachia revealed something intriguing.
17:22Do it one more time. Yep.
17:25That's amazing! See if I can go, oops, slower. Yeah.
17:29Because, it's curious. Oh my goodness. You see the legs on that sucker? Girl, what?
17:40It's a hornet! It's a hornet! No, when did hornets start looking like that? Look at that!
17:45That is not no hornet and... Hornet wear. I don't know.
17:52During the middle of the day, something zipped past. Small, quick, and strangely shaped. The woman
17:58initially believed it was a hornet, but her friend insisted it resembled a fairy. Was it merely an insect,
18:04or could it have been something more fantastical, visible in broad daylight?
18:09In 2014, Hunter Michael Green was deep within Uwari National Forest, his thermal camera in hand as he often was.
18:16Having done this countless times before, he was familiar with the routine. However, that night,
18:21something felt different. His thermal camera detected a heat signature, large, upright, and moving in an
18:28unusual manner through the trees. Critics quickly dismissed the footage, calling it blurry and
18:34inconclusive, with nothing of significance. But Michael disagreed. He was certain of one thing. That
18:40wasn't human. To this day, no one has been able to confirm or refute what he saw. So what was it?
18:46Simply a person? An animal? Or something else lurking in the shadows of Uwari? It is said that this
18:52frightening photograph was captured by a police officer during a patrol near a residential
18:57neighborhood in Tennessee. The figure in the image resembled the Fresno Nightcrawler, but appeared
19:02notably bulkier and had a somewhat cartoonish form. Despite attempts to identify its source or locate
19:08similar sightings, no definitive evidence has ever emerged. The case remains an unresolved local
19:15mystery. A hiker was traversing Gettysburg's big round-top trail when everything seemed ordinary
19:21until they reached the last stone wall at the summit. Suddenly, footsteps echoed all around,
19:26stopping whenever they did. Initially, they thought it was just sound bouncing off the rocks,
19:31but the noise came from every direction. Then, the unmistakable clip-clop of horse hooves appeared.
19:38Remaining calm, they decided to leave quickly. Strangely, almost all of their photos came out blurry.
19:45Despite keeping the camera steady, and one image captured a strange figure. The next photo,
19:51taken just seconds later, did not show it, though it might simply be a blur. To them,
19:56it felt like something more than that. It was just a typical sunny day in Kentucky,
20:00when a man strolling near his house noticed something unusual. The sound didn't come from the
20:05sky or machinery, but from beneath the ground, piquing his curiosity and leaving him puzzled about what
20:11could be causing it. Intrigued, he took out his camera and attempted to record the phenomenon.
20:29As he moved closer, the strange rumbling intensified,
20:33sounding as if something was stirring deep beneath the ground surface.
20:47There was no sign of construction, excavation, or anything that would explain the strange
20:56activity. No one truly understands what's happening beneath that seemingly peaceful patch of land.
21:01A woman had been residing in her Appalachian home for a year when she decided to change things up.
21:07She moved two large bookshelves, revealing behind them a door she had never noticed before.
21:12The door was sealed with tape, indicating it had been deliberately concealed. Curious and a bit
21:17cautious, she invited a friend over to help open it. Together, they carefully removed the tape and
21:23opened the door to uncover what lay beyond. Behind the door was a staircase that led up to a spacious attic.
21:33She had never known it was there before. Now people online are freaking out, speculating that it was
21:38sealed to trap something sinister. Given that it's in Appalachia, it's hard not to imagine something
21:43eerie lurking inside. This blurry, black and white photo was taken at night by a security camera from
21:49someone living deep in the Appalachian woods. The image shows a tall, shadowy silhouette against a faint
21:55background. It resembles Bigfoot, but the head appears unusually small, much smaller than what one would
22:02expect. Perhaps it's a different creature altogether. Or maybe it's just a person in disguise.
22:08YouTuber Dawson Toller embarked on a journey to explore Elkmond, a once thriving logging town tucked
22:14away in the Appalachian Mountains. In its prime, the town was bustling with activity. Trains traveling
22:20through, sawmills operating loudly, and families building their homes. Over time, however, the trains
22:26ceased running. The mills closed their doors, and the area was cleared by the government to create a
22:31national park. Today, only a handful of deteriorated cabins and a forgotten cemetery
22:38remained. Silent remnants of a bygone era. Dawson arrived during daylight to survey the site,
22:43and as night approached, he turned his attention to two of the oldest cabins, investigating their
22:48mysterious history and haunting atmosphere. And the first spot that we're going to go to
22:53is going to be number seven. Seven and five are some of the oldest ones here. So I figured we would
23:00start out at one of the oldest ones and then move on from there. There is a freaky, freaky ass vibe.
23:13And I don't know if that's just because it's dark out and I'm alone, or if it's because there's ghosts,
23:21but I'm ready to find out. He was preparing a repod and an additional camera when, during filming,
23:26something unexpected startled him. It caught him completely off guard, leaving him momentarily
23:32stunned by what he observed. I'm in an entire town right now. There's nobody here.
23:40An entire street of just houses in the Appalachian Mountains. How crazy.
23:51That was really loud.
23:56That was outside somewhere.
24:00Let's grab the REM pod.
24:04And take a gander.
24:09Just in case.
24:21I heard two noises.
24:35I highly doubt you guys will hear them, but they came from outside.
24:39And we are in the middle of the woods, but it freaked me out enough to not stay in the same
24:45place for a long enough time because it didn't come from inside here. So let's go ahead and move
24:51on to another spot and see if there's anybody that wants to talk to us. A peculiar noise caused
24:59him to halt momentarily. He then proceeded to move toward a different building. We're gonna walk into this one,
25:05because this is the one...
25:11I just heard a scrape.
25:12He persisted in trying to make contact with whatever might still be present there. Suddenly,
25:24he heard a sharp sound outside. A branch snapping under what seemed like unnatural weight.
25:29I will say...
25:34What is that?
25:40We need to step outside.
25:43That sounds weird.
25:52I don't know.
25:54I just don't want it to be a bear or something, because I truly am out here alone.
25:59This isn't one of those things where I'm like, I'm alone, guys, and there's some
26:03fucking dude hiding outside. Like, we keep it real over here. So we need to step out and take a gander.
26:28I heard what sounded like a stick breaking, and we are in the woods, but I'm getting really freaking
26:57freaked out.
26:59Concerned that it might be a bear, he grabbed his flashlight and stepped outside. But no one was in
27:04sight. As he looked around, he noticed another car parked nearby, which was strange since he hadn't
27:10seen anyone else in the area. So what could have caused those noises? Was it at another explorer,
27:15a wild animal, or something that never really left Elkmont at all? One evening, a woman was relaxing in
27:22her Appalachian home when something unusual caught her attention. Just outside her kitchen window,
27:27she saw a figure staring back at her through the glass. In Appalachia, there's a strict rule. Never
27:33leave your windows uncovered after dark. But that night, she chose not to follow it. Many have since
27:39wondered why she would break a rule designed to keep her safe.
