can i pleaseee be pinned or hearted?? Love your videos (:

People really need to learn how to stay safe when hiking. 1. Never hike alone 2. Stay on the trail. 3. Don't climb the stairs.

Lost in the Woods was especially chilling! "never let yourself be separated from the pack"----maybe the way a lion separates an antelope from the herd? A predator's natural choice would be a young one rather than an adult----the easy kill. It sounded like the ranger was warning them about a predator he knew hunted these woods.

does anyone else think that Darkness prevails has a very soothing voice or is it just me?

Simple rules I learned long ago. Before you go off the road look at a map and be sure you know where you are and some landmarks around you. Take the map along if possible. If you get lost it helps to know which way the nearest road or running water may be. Never leave the trail if you are on a known trail. Pay attention to the time and your surroundings, remember as best you can any landmarks. Always carry some food and water, and a jacket or poncho no matter what the weather forecast or how long you may plan to be out. If you find a road stay on it and go in one direction. If you find running water go down stream. Don't waste energy screaming or running, just move toward one of those things I mentioned.

Looks like the Winchester Boys have been slacking

One time a guy died trying to find were my fucks went He was so close too

Everyone go read the Missing 411 books by David Paulides. In his books he talks about all the creepy and sometimes unsolved disappearances in national parks over the decades like Yosemite up north and other parks in the country.

I honestly want to thank you for keeping people cautious.if your lost put a fire on and stay put and stay close to it.the woods isn't for everyone.

Last story: "I don't see anything in luke"... "I have two kids with Luke"

I love these stories where even professionals who are veterans of their job or role find themselves in awe over how hiddenly complex their jobs really are.

You are my favorite reader. I love how you set your stories up and how you name the title. You rock!!

Really got an addiction for search rescue/Forrest stories, hadn't heard anything about them before until stumbling upon this, now I can't get enough! Fascinating 🌲🌳🌲

Ayyyyyye search and rescue stories are the best.

I wanna see more videos like this - search and rescue, EMT, police, firefighters. I can't get enough of them 💕

That first one chilled me. I wouldn't go into that forests without thermal vision

For most of my childhood my family and I would go to a creek surrounded by woods. We would follow trails all day. I never saw anything mysterious but still very eerie. One day we went walking, my dad had brought along his bow and arrows. We saw several water moccasins on the trail. Some under trees that were hollowed out by the roots and some by rocks. When we got to the creek there were what looked like hundreds of them on the banks and in the water. I've never seen that many snakes at once in my life. I know my dad shot 13. Needless to say we left soon after. That was the last time me and my 2 sisters went along. My dad still goes to this day. Who knows, my dad may have saved our lives.

Thank god I was watching search and rescue stories and I love them and there was a 2 hour comp that I completely watched and still needed more... thanks, DarknessPrevsils!

#2 was probably a Skinwalker/ Wendigo. Known for mimicking voices. Scary shit!

Does anyone else binge through Darkness' stories while Gaming? It really helps me to keep calm while I play Stronghold or FTL. I can't be the only one.

These stories are some of my favorite. But it's so frustrating when over half of them that involve someone "seeing something" have some aspect of, "I didn't tell them what I saw, or heard, or know." Stories with kids and adults alike have that so much for so often weak reasons.

Loved these stories and love this channel, but I have to call bullshit on the last story for 3 reasons: 1: English people do not say soda, we say pop or call the drink by its name e.g. Coke 2: The 'chief of police' is called 'Chief Constable in England 3: There is Nowhere in England called 'The Devil's Canyon.' Other than that I loved these stories :D

Whenever my wife and i are camping in the woods, she's afraid of wild animals and I'm afraid of psycho killers (especially the Zodiac)

First story is quite sad and has a strong sense of realism to it. I believe it to be truthful because that is something that is sadly not uncommon in cases of disappearing children in wild territory. Sometimes 'remains' are found with quite some distance apart. Also, I have had an eerily similar experience to story number 3 in the deep areas of the Texas hill country. There is definitely something that lurks in remote areas on the North American continent and just like described, it is certainly hominid and tall. The weight of its steps was so heavy that the thuds reverberated through the limestone bedrock of the creekbed my brother and I were in. I do not believe it to be the benevolent and elusive bigfoot though. Its actions were like a calculating predator and seemed to be trying to coax us towards it.

Don't stop making videos dude, good storyteller, and got me staying up at night. Awesome shit bro

This IS a huge planet and we have not been through it all . What about the fact of all of the water covering this Earth ? Hell's Bells there are things and places that haven't been seen by us unless it's the last thing we see or visit. Story #1 was heartbreaking and the others mind blowing. Thanks for the awareness. 😁📿🙏👩‍💻🥄☕

Guess who is not going to bed today This guy

skin walkers and wendigos Haunting them woods all the time

I live in a dense wooded area, I love the woods, but almost like wild animals you must hold a certain respect for the forest as well. Things at times are never what they seem.

Dude I love your Videos , keep up the good entertainment and work You calm me on a rough day

I'll watch this later , sun is still out wait for night fall

I never liked the woods because of ticks and other bugs. Now after all these stories of cryptids and crazy people. I'm never going in the woods or camping.

Run run as fast as you can I have some candy in my white van

The first one hurt my poor cold heart 😢

Great stories. You gotta love a nice, creepy tale, even if some aspects are a little hard to swallow! The truth is out there.

Darkness prevails is literally the best scary story channel out there!! Just a bunch of awesomeness!!!

I've lived in the deep mountains of Southern West Virginia all my life. The description you gave about the scream in the woods? Is Def a Mountain lion. I have heard them scream for around 4-50 seconds. Like an old woman screaming in agony. Like someone being tortured.

SAR stories always remind me of Missing 411. Perfect stories for tonight!

Yay! The stories don't repeat with other channels. Keep it up Darkness!

you sound like a young William shatner.."there's something on....the..wing!"

1. Big Foot needs to eat too! 2. A bird in hand is worth 2 in another dimension! 3. Silent Scream! 4. Not your average Walking Dead. 5. They don't call it Devil's Canyon for nothing!

I love your narrative style. It's interesting and spooky!! You are one of my favorites!! Thanks for being you!!

Guy backflipping through the forest where you at

Really creepy stories!! Thanks, Darkness!!

I love these stories! The woods/search/rescue ones are especially great because I live in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Love your storytelling!!!

his voice is so calming holy shitt ive never been calmer listening to spooky stories

For the first story, what do they mean the boy was never found? didn't they find body parts?

ahhhh I was watching your other videos and then saw this had to come watch. 👍👌

I've been watching you for almost a year. you never seem to disappoint. Great Video

you're the best KZfaqr ever darkness you put so much work on these stories and you also make us feel like we're there you are the best narrator ever on KZfaq I'll share all your vids so people know how great of a KZfaqr you are also you take the time to reply to our Comments and that is just awesome of you Thanks so much darkness you inspire me soo much!

SCAAAARYYYYY Who else likes spooky stories with the A/C blasting ice cold air and relaxing in the summer?

For the first story, it was prob a pack of coyotes. The author in the story said the largest animal they have around there was coyotes; a pack of coyotes could easily rip apart a young child

I am addicted to your videos. Your voice is so soothing and relaxing. I often fall asleep listening to your stories😄

I'm doing marathon of your videos!

I love listening to your videos before I go to bed🖤🖤🖤

nothing is like a top 10 hardest anime choice when both mr nightmare and darkness prevails video are recommended to you at the same time

Sorry but, story #5 😂 total bs! If you're going to make up a story & pass it off as true please make it believable. In the UK we don't use the word soda, our police ranking doesn't include the rank/ title chief of police, (Although It may be possible that the British definitions of these things were changed to their American definitions). We don't have canyons in Britain therefore Devil's canyon doesn't exist! There is however a Devil's gorge but it's in Wales not England. She states that they live in a small rural village but later says her dad is "Chief of police for their town". If the missing couple were tracked with GPS their location would be fairly precise surely? If there was 5 strange men wandering about on a 'canyon' at night chasing someone the police would have appealed for info from the public. Good effort 'Danielle M' but, next time try to at least make it believable. 👎

Darkness Prevails, it ALWAYS makes my day when you upload a video!! Thank you so much!! You helped make my Mother's Day even SWEETER!! 😘😍💙❤💚

forget sleep im listening to this first!!!!!!!

By far, you are the best in this genre, DP.

You held my attention, great stories...... wonderful day in the neighborhood.

I love the ocean and forest/jungles. that's why I love when these kinds are put out

You should try doing creepy encounters at the mall,Disneyland or a thrift shop that would be cool 😎 keep up the great work 👌🏻

I just can't stand hearing about little kids being killed,and since brother is 4 (soon 5) the feeling is worse.

I'll never forget the time my cat disappeared for 24 hours. That was panic. Sheer panic. All air ports and sea ports shut down. Search teams a la 'Fugitive' working throughout the night. House searches on known recidivists properties. When he came home of his own volition he was given a severe talking to. It still hurts to talk of it.

I listen to these stories in the background as I do chores and relax

Your stories are amazing! I love how you read them! Have a great day!

It is almost 4am and i am a 34 year-old woman but ill admit that thses stories have me cuddlef up with a blanket over my head because good lord are these stories CREEPY!! pleeeeeease do more of these search and rescue stories real soon!!!

Yes! Thankyou more disappearances and search and rescue!

"for example if a tree fell in the forest,-" and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?. .. for some reason i expected him to say that even though i knew he wasn't going to lol

I am 26 years old, and I still love to here these stories. Thank you very much.

I love how you actually read the comments 🙂

jesus is first

... I have a dread fascination for this type of stories for a very good reason: as a Cub and Boy Scout in the 50's and '60's, I *absolutely* should have been the Missing Child Poster Boy for *NEVER BE ALONE IN THE WOODS.* I actually went off on my own every chance I got, so as to be able to hunt for rocks & minerals, and study odd things like lichens on a boulder with a magnifying glass without anyone bothering me. I'm now 67 ... and at the distance of half a century, stories like these scare the living daylights out of me. And yet, I can't remember anything at all scaring me back then, even when I snuck out at night to explore especially strange places. All I remember was logically being what I'd now call "hypervigilant", but that was about it. I'll now offer the short-short version of something very strange that happened in my ratty 3rd floor apartment, when I was about 28. I assume that I'd been dead asleep in the middle of the night, and then suddenly remember rolling right out of bed, fully alert as my feet hit the floor, and in a classic self-defense stance: feet apart, knees slightly bent, arms outstretched, hands open, thumbs up, fingers slightly curled (and completely naked, I've *always* slept in the altogther). My attention was 1,000% focused on something inimical in the darkness not 6 feet from me, and I was absolutely outraged that "something like that" would even *DARE* come anywhere near me. I was so outraged that I took a couple of steps toward it, swearing a blue streak and absolutely craving getting my hands on it. Then I sensed that it was gone, and I just calmed down, got back into bed, and went right back to sleep. Honestly, to this day, I shake my head in blank wonder at this crystal-clear memory. Something in me simply reacted as needed at that moment, and whatever it was, it knew exactly what it was doing in every sense possible. Some kind of pit bull--strength spiritual self-defense. I offered that short-short version of that very strange nocturnal face-off as a probable explanation as to why I never actually "went missing" as that apparently totally dumb kid repeatedly wandering alone in the woods. To me, it all adds up.

In Malibu CA there's a state park. Fairly remote. In the back of this park is a shallow cave that our local "witches" use for their night time outings. The cave has a burnt roof due to the big bonfires they use. As a teen my friends and I encountered these nuts one dark night doing whatever they do and they chased us out. Long black robes with pointed hoods etc etc. So, there are nuts in the woods.

yesssssss new video I was getting bored at home so that you for uploading a new video I'll share it to my friends but I don't have many friends

I love listen to these while writting my chapter books 📚

Good stories. If anyone hasn't heard corpse husbands search and rescue stories yet do so immediately! Best stories on the net.

"Lost in the woods" most definitely sounds like a mix up, or of, realms. Yes, REALMS, NOT PARALLEL WORLDS OR UNIVERSES. THIS IS SPIRITUAL. I PRAY EVERYONE WILL REALIZE THIS BEFORE THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO. LIKE IT OR NOT, "TRUTH" MUST BE TOLD. THESE STORIES WERE NEVER SO PREVALENT. SO DARKNESS DOES PREVAIL. BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. NO OFFENSE DARKNESS. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE. I LOVE YOUR WORK.

I think my cat likes your videos because whenever I listen to one he comes into my room and lays down.

make a story about creepy hotels

hell yea! Been waitin' for these stories for years

Amazing collection of stories!

do you have any idea how much I love these types of stories

just came across a few of your vids...love them...ty

Thank you for another excellent video! :)

this is the first time i'm here but I already love this channel!✨💕

I would call the "Lost in the Forest" story "The Scream." I think the scream the searchers heard was from another dimension - a most probable future for the man who was lost. I think the scream was from the lost man being eaten alive.

thank you for rescuing me from my medicore day for this sensational video. :P

the second story is totally a skinwalker

Darkness gets double the views from me. I use the stories to fall asleep to. The next day I have to listen to it again because I can't remember anything I heard the night before. Lol

this is the first vid I a binge I am doing of your channel sharing them all

Story 3, Loud screaming in the woods is probably a damn red fox. They sound like women screaming or some sort of supernatural entity screeching some sort of absolutely horrible noise that sounds like what you would imagine a banshee scream would sound like if there were such a thing. Story 2, Ouachita National Forest is fine. Great place! I've been all over, completely solo. Even they-hiked the Ouachita Trail solo. Only ever had one creepy thing happen that could be explained possibly. The mind is a powerful thing.

I swear every time I get a notification from you I smile. then I know I have something to do tonight or just all day.

How can the fates be Horrific if their fates are Unknown? 🤔

Another perfect video for night-time viewing. I always love watching your videos.

"What is it. That tore the boy apart?" The way he says this cracked me up haha.

Have any of y'all heard of the stair cases that are located literally deep, deep in the middle of the woods?? Supposedly, if you are out on a SAR and you come by these stairs, you must avoid them at all cost!

but will there be scary stairs

in the last story the English girl called her dog an German Shepard. The English do not call them German Shepards. So this is a made up story and not by an Englishman.
