A couple decades ago, I was a case manager for schizophrenics. One of my clients told me about his childhood of abuse. His father was a violent alcoholic. So, when his father came home at night, he and his brothers would run out to the Forrest to hide… they would spend the whole night outside, even in the cold and rain. They often went days without food, did not go to school, and felt more comfortable in the wild than around people. They were often ill-clothed, or walked around naked. He was discovered at the age of 15, and placed into foster care. He had minimal reading skills, and was eventually allowed to live in his own apartment. He didn’t bathe, or manage garbage… and, only had a television and a reclining chair, that he slept in. His mind could not reconcile reality, and he didn’t know what happened to his brothers or parents.

If you do not think the Appalachian mountains are wilderness, just remember an entire branch of the Cherokee nation hid there for the better part of a century without being found.

Over 15 years ago in Alabama, I asked my grandmother who grew up in Double Springs out where Corridor X is/was, about bigfoot. She said she had never heard or seen anything like that, but she did tell me about the feral people. So, if she heard about them as a child, they must have been out there for centuries, who are they? My grandmother said they were War deserters, escaped criminals, NA that escaped the Trail of Tears, runaway slaves, those that couldn't find a job during the Depression, and abandoned children (Down's syndrome or autistic children) over the centuries. They all fled for various reasons into the Appalachian Mountains or were left there. It boggles the mind.

I went to college in Kentucky and have experienced many weird people out in the woods. This was back in the 90s so no cell phone videos but people stalking us in the woods in Kentucky

have you tried going to Walmart LATE AT NIGHT TO SEE FERAL PEOPLE

10 or 11 feral people! Holy shit man that is insane. Also this is exactly why I make sure I always am facing forward, never having to back up anywhere. You've got to be able to get out of whatever situation your in quickly.

I've dine many road trips but never stay off track, friends did and found their camper surrounded in NC Appalachian area, scariest moment for them ever!!! They said they'd never pull off in random area again..these ppl came out of nowhere!

The ferals don’t fuck around too much. They don’t like being smoked out by professionals with heavy gunfire.

I grew up in a hollow in Madison, NC. When I say hollow, I mean we had to walk to get our mail to the rural route road that was about a mile away. Even having grown up there, my mamaw always told me to keep away from the "woods or mountain folk."" It was a stern warning that I heeded.

You are a good story teller. Really enjoyed this.

I just found your videos. I love the content! Finally the algorithm is giving me something I like!!! You’re getting a like, subscribe, and comment!

Love your channel! Really enjoy how you tell the stories! Glad people have a way to tell their stories. Thank you.

Just recently found this channel so now I’m watching everything 😂😂 absolutely love these stories. Well told my new friend

Great video man. Your format and style of narration is very refreshing compared to other channels that cover these types of stories. I've lived in Appalachia my whole life and it's no joke. Even in populated areas close to main roads you're liable to run into some wild unexplainable stuff. Going way out into the woods off the beaten path without being armed is an absolute no-no.

Have enjoyed you putting so many out lately!!!

There are people that live in the Appalachains that lived off the grid their whole lives like early Americans did.

I haven't been getting notifications for your videos so I checked myself. Glad to see new videos and glad to see that your channel is growing. Good things happen to good people!

Never go into the woods without a firearm in fact this day and age you need one at all times! Only the strong survive

As more and more people become homeless, the numbers of deep woods denizens will increase dramatically. And- the deeper in the woods they go, the more degenerate and dangerous they invariably become. Bottom line- Always carry a means of self defense when venturing beyond the periphery of known wilderness areas & established public "safe zones". Preferably a big caliber semi-auto rifle that has a large capacity magazine, as well as a sidearm. I refuse to "walk in fear" when out in the wilds of nature... & when armed thusly, I exude not fear, but a high level of confidence. Which can & WILL repel threats lurking in the shadows, as- they are predators & predators can easily read your state of mind by picking up on your field of energetic influence, AND by your body language as it speaks volumes about you. It reveals your confidence and/or aggression level, your degree of awareness, mental/emotional state AND your physical fitness level. Yes, to those who live in the woods 24/7, such ability to read a persons threat level is instant & automatic, they just KNOW whether or not you are a target worth pursuing- or someone that is best avoided altogether. So yes, being armed can reduce or altogether eliminate having encounters with deep woods threats... and if push comes to shove & you find yourself in a confrontation with deranged man/men or hungry/angry beasts-- you can quickly take care of business in no uncertain terms. No, I dont venture out into the woods looking for a confrontation & "eager to kill"- but I WILL dispatch without hesitation or remorse, ANYTHING out in the woods that shows eagerness to kill & eat me!

Fantastic stuff brother. 👍👍

These stories are the reason I dont go camping,enjoying your content watching from Bonnie's scotland, new sub m8😊😊

Thank you. You do such a great job. :)

I, too, carry a bear banger. It's made by Winchester, and it has staggered "bangers" of fragmenting slugs and 00 buckshot. There's no way I'll ever camp or go hiking in a national park without my firearm. Recently, I have purchased 12 gauge trip alarms and fashioned makeshift barrels. I plan on putting cayenne pepper loads, and stinger(tiny rubber pellets) loads in them so if something gets to our group without 4-6 of us all armed, ranging from 7.62, 5.56, 12 gauge,. 45, .9mm and those trip alarms, we just had it coming

love your stories man

Man, I have been down the Bigfoot/dogman rabbit hole. I had never heard of feral people and have listened to 3 of your videos on them. So creepy. Great videos.

He had a 4000 lb bullet. Lay on the horn and plow through or over them. No way in hell 10 people are going to stop an F 150 at 40-50 mph. They would have been better off in Paris 😂😂😂

Interesting Stories! I'm Scared Of Going Camping Never Hiked. Like People Around Me! Just Subscribed!

Great channel. I just discovered it.

I hope that I never come across any wild people out there, but just in case, I carry my 10mm, and skinning knife . Thank you for these creepy stories.

Very good!

A friend calls me feral. I prefer to live in the wilderness. Eating whatever small game and fish that are around. Thank you as always. Joe

You are a great storyteller.

Where did you get these stories? Im not scared of bears or Sasquatch or anything but the idea of feral people freaks me out. I was going to go on a solo backpacking trip in Tennessee this year. Idk now. This freaks me out.

The cover photo is just funny. The man is what supposed to be Ferel. Huh sure does have mighty good teeth to be ferel,must a new convert to be ferel

As i listen to alot of these types of stories on KZfaq, I've realized you have to have a backwards cap on to make it work.😅

If I go down an old logging road to stay the night, I always turn the truck around so I can make a getaway. Or even for the chance of a dead battery the vehicle is facing the right way for a jump.

A bucket and a tarp is VALUABLE TO FERAL FOLK!

On tubi there is a new series called Outsiders. It is about ferrals, with several twists and turns. I am completely addicted!! I just started episode 1/season2

I live down the road off hwy 411. I camp those woods. Way to many things happen out there. Its not to far from where they filmed deliverance with Burt Reynolds .

He tells the story as if he was there observing the whole thing

There are people that dropped out entirely & completely from the system and this current version of what passes for society everywhere. I remember being told of groups of wild men that dropped out to live in the rainforests up north. They were supposedly made up of a majority of Vietnam Vets completely traumatised from how they were used to maim and kill for the government only to have directly copped the disgust and anger by 100,000 people on their return to country. This is what supposedly made them snap. Last one i heard about was a disturbing encouter a woman had about 20 years ago. Pretty quiet since. Anyway, interesting content and greetings from Australia

I found this channel by accident. My life could not be more different than yours. As i live in a City in the north of England, i dont hike, camp and i certainly dont hunt. If i had a firearm i would probably shoot myself with it out of terror. But I'm fasinated with these stories ...i love them. I just have to subscribe....👍

That’s terrifying

I live in east central Alabama, and grew up in the woods. Have a few stories about the people that lived deep in the woods.

Any trail cam pics of these feral groups of people?

Rest areas aren't the nicest places either.. I would recommend stopping at a place where there's plenty of people and movement..

You're s,good story teller.

I never go out in the woods without a pistol, a pocket knife, a shotgun, a hunting rifle, 3 javelin rockets and a fleet of attack drones... and a can opener.

It sounds like the people were curious.

No form of protection? He was in a 3 ton weapon!

People should actually carry 2 powerful hand guns side arm and an ankle gun extra extra amo ........

👍👍👍

Just a guess but the mud all over their bodies might help keep the skeeters and bugs from biting them

Perhaps the national park service just considers those people as part of the wildlife and natural habitat that they don't want to mess with

G U N

I wonder if those "feral people" ever see Sasquatch.

I never leave the house without a firearm!!

The details are great for a story. Who cares about the preamble get to it Man.....

From Cincinnati and loves the Smokies, it’s only about a 5 hour drive. And only a few places to hike in between. Not buying this one.

What did they report to the police? That people walked around their truck?

I would be scared to death! I'd probably never camp again.

With what seems to have become a permanent homeless population walkways had hiking trails are likely to become permanent residents for some people. If it is not here already it is coming.

I am buying a bear banger, just to say I have one.

Silly boys. Never question your instincts! Altho I envy them their encounter.

Those bear bangers normally work the first time however if they end up coming back for a second attempt the next day well say , more often then not it doesnt work a second time on the same bear they aint stupid nothing happen to them with the first banger an they remember that so they not so inclined to fall for the same trick twice lol

Appalachian here. I take these claims seriously, though I don’t have enough to say it’s real or not. We have had feral populations before that were exterminated by the government. There was some degree of backlash that they were taking out humans. But there are sections of the park that were completely inaccessible even to rangers. That doesn’t mean that someone who’s entire life is deep woods Appalachia couldn’t access it. Your average housebroken Appalachian does better on advanced trails than people who’ve never been to the mountains. Humans adapt. ATVs and SUVs can’t. We also have people go pretty deep out there to make meth, or run from the law, or because they don’t want anything to do with society. They can be out there for a long time. What happens to people when they experience isolation? They go very deep into survival mode, and lose social skills. We still had modern comforts and could communicate with quarantine but people are struggling socially even now after 3 years of it being back to normal. There is no guarantee that a small group of already likely unstable people went out there years ago for some shady reason, and made babies who’ve never been in society. There is no guarantee they got every single feral person when the government was hunting them. Odds are they would be much like the more elusive animals out here due to small numbers and the intellectual capacity to dodge being seen. They would be unlikely to spot. But we don’t question when someone sees a mountain cougar because it is known to exist. We don’t question when teenagers find moonshining or meth setups because that does, occasionally happen. Whether they are generationally feral or not, the odds of encountering someone who is more animal than human out there isn’t zero. So it’s best to treat dirty, animalistic, wild eyed people as if they are feral and get yourself away from them, asap. Handle people who look like they may be feral as you would bears, cougars, etc. It could just be some druggie who’s high out of their mind but even then, you are best served by getting away from them!

Why the shades?

Why would you go on hiking trip depending on hitching a ride from somebody

We don't use kilometers! Smh

Wonder what language that was? Thats a clue to who these people are.

Ive hiked the whole Appalachian trial and never had an issue with anything or anyone

Can ypu make a video of reptilian/lizard men encounters please 😊x

Mr.Ballen

Hwy129 is not an interstate. It is a US hiway.

Americans, if screaming and guns doesn’t work to solve a problem they no idea what to do anymore😂

Trenny Gibson

Lol photo of a car at night

Whats the deal with being filthy though? All types of people have the ability to wash themsleves in water. ? Are cannibles? I say that because certain infections can cause insanity and even cannibalism. Even tribes living in the jungles for generations clean themselves.

The feral people DO NOT LOOK LIKE HIM, THEY LOOK LIKE YOU. 😮

Wtf..makes people go feral?....society😉😉

Wonder what Bigfoot think about them

That's it protect the woods ...keep the humans out

What was the name of the town they firat came too?

Why do you move your hands so much when you talk

i thought the Democrats were in the cities where da welfare is

The bloody Jordan Peterson voice is bloody distracting

Get to the point bro. Way too much unnecessary information

Thousands of these channels with the same shit. Technology… we wouldn’t need these made up stories. But make ur many while you can.

Maybe Oprah was just some wild person lol

Talk miles not kilometers, I'm not in Canada you may be in Canada

Hey fella what's with shades on and set on your head, really weird
