I'm 65 and my grandma once told me that IN 1915 her Dad went fishing near her home in Oklahoma and took her with her. While her Dad was fishing she was throwing pebbles in the creek and looked across the creek and seen a large harry giant watching her. She said daddy there's a caveman looking at me. He picked her up and ran leaving the poles there. They never went back. So I believe that these things exist. Thanks for the great story!

In the early 70's in east central Georgia I was sleeping in a hammock on a deer hunting weekend at a place called Bussey's Point. I woke up in the middle of the night and a "creature" was standing over me. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It's breath was warm on my face. I was paralyzed with fear, I couldn't scream and I couldn't move. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I was finally able to close my eyes to await my inevitable fate but when I awoke at daylight it was gone, but the memory still lasts to this day. I've never returned to Bussey's Point! Thanks for your share!

Mom grew up in that area, saw it around 1940 or a year or two earlier. Around Clear Fork near 988/188 and 217. They called "Ol' Caleb" - It walked across their field and stepped over their fence which was chest high. Described it as brown, black and white.

As the curator of the country’s biggest Bigfoot Museum, I can tell you these stories take place ALL OVER the south. From Fl to N Al. The lengths our government and media go to keep this suppressed, should indicate how important this knowledge is. Thank you Donnie, for keeping this topic in the minds of curious people!

Love the folklore of the Appalachian Mountains. A person can stay up all night and talk about the folklore of these mountains and never hear the same story twice.

If someone ever says or tells you there's a BOOGER in those woods you better pay attention. .thanks Donnie

Growing up in the hollow, holler to those of us who lived there, we were very familiar with the sounds of the various wildlife. Coyotes, black panthers, the occasional lil sugar bear and wolf, even feral hogs. One year, I'm guessing I was around 11 years old, I heard something I could not identify. I was crossing the southern field, heading to Nanny and Poppy's house when a deep, guttural shout echoed down from the north end of the hollow. The hair on my arms and head began to prickle. It was neither animal nor human, loud and powerful sounding. I'm not exaggerating when I say every critter in the area went silent, birds bugs and all. It stayed quiet for several minutes and then I heard it again. I hurried on over to where Poppy, my grandpa, was standing with a family friend under the cedar tree. Both of them where staring at the treeline in the distance, quietly talking. I overheard Poppy's friend say, "they come closer to the farms when the summer is too hot." Then when he noticed me, he addressed me directly. "Stay out of the woods for a few days, Tsul 'Kalu is out walking."

Oh my goodness, the “Booger Man” was definitely part of my growing up! Thanks for the reminder Donnie, I appreciate you.

I live by Bath county by the lake you hear alot of strange noises , my mom told us when she was a child in Southern Kentucky they seen a lot of things they grew up in the 40s her and her siblings often seen these creatures she said they would scream real loud and scare you but they never harmed them they were often seen down by the River in Livingston Kentucky she was a woman of God she had no reason to lie...

Donnie I certainly appreciate this story because cryptids are real and people should not be made fun of. Appalachian mountains are full of stories and terrifying ones too. Thank you for sharing your experience too. Keep them coming Sir GOD bless you

Donnie I grew up in a place in Asheville NC that was haunted. Our animals felt it and you could feel something watching you! Love your channel!!!! Patricia Gambino Harrington

My brother and I had to walk about a half out of the holler to catch the school bus. Sometimes, we'd see a booger at the edge of woods watching us. And that's when we'd run like the wind toward the bus stop and civilization. Love the video. Thanks, Donnie.

Great story! We have a little cabin on Blood Camp Ridge outside of Elk Park, NC and I love exploring Roan Mountain all the way to Jonas Ridge and Brown Mountain. I've seen one of these boogers and been involved in quite a bit of high strangeness.

Great story Donnie! When I was a little girl, growing up in southwestern Virginia, a group of school kids came to school, scared to death of something they had seen while they were waiting for the bus. They said it came out of the woods and stood up and looked at them. They said it was covered with hair and had a face like a human. They all screamed and ran away and it went back into the woods.

Thanks for the story Mr. Donnie . As humans, we don't know everything . We think we do. These old mountains can hide all kinds of secrets .

As a resident of Fonde KY, I can say this is real. My dad was born in 1939 in that area, and jeans his family was walking home from church and it was there behind them. Thanks Donnie.

I came within three feet of one in 1986 that's the most fear I've ever felt in my life. I've seen em on a few other occasions over the years but never that close again. It sure made a believer out of me! Great video as always 👍

We called them boogers, too. Thank you for yet another great video, Mr. Donnie.

Thanks for another great video Donnie.. God bless you brother and all reading this in Jesus Christ name

Great story Donnie!! We have Bigfoot up here in the mountains of Northwestern PA. My husband and I have heard things ~~~

I remember your video about your experience with something.I mentioned mine but did not elaborate on it as like you said nobody would believe me unless I killed one.Anyway,my dad and I were hunting rabbits with our beagle/hound crosses.Good dogs.We were on Starr Mountain just above Little Caney Creek that runs off into the Hiawassee River.They jumped a rabbit and went after it,the rabbit.We heard them stop baying and start barking,angry,scared barks.Needless to say that was over 35 years ago.I was 17.The woods got still no birds,no dogs barking,no nothing or sound even the wind stopped.As we went toward our dogs we heard the oddest sound.Never heard before but dad has and he stopped dead still white faced and scared.Nothing scared him or me for that matter.He points up the holler a ways and on the right side of tje hill stood something. It stunk to high heaven and it killed one of our dogs,had it in its left hand and when it saw us I almost messed myself.Pissed dad off for killing his dog he ups and shoots its with no.5 rabbit shot from a .16 gauge I cut loose at it with my .12 gauge no.6 shot and we hit it.Tracked as far as the river,it crossed we didn't.We did get our other dogs tho and headed for the truck.Dad went over the bridge and commenced to track it.To make a long story short after we crossed the river bridge we lost it about 3 miles West of the river.Blood all over,we had good hits on it,but never saw it again.After we went back in there another time loaded for bear or whatever it was.Had reddish black hair not fur,round nose,flat face,long arms and stood about7-8 feet tall,big brown slanted eyes in a large head.Dad swore me to secrecy and I have not told anyone until now.Went back a few years ago and nothing has changed .Didn't see anything but it was still as a graveyard.I can talk about it now.Dad has passed on now so I don't think he would mind.There is more to it but this will have to do for now.

Thank you Donnie for another scary story. No telling what hides in these mountains. I wouldn't want to be out in them after dark. I've seen things I shouldn't have seen. Nobody believed me. I'm glad your telling these stories. I enjoy hearing you tell them, and I believe every word you say. Like you said, you have to see to believe. These critics have seen nothing scarier than a Robin pulling a worm out of the ground. BOO TO THEM.

Love these stories!!!! My Grannie used to tell us stories about "boogers". Scared us to death!!!!

Like you say Donnie there’s a lot of things that have been hidden from us over the years. The mountains have been there for a long time. People don’t make this kind of stuff up because they’re bored. God bless

Hi Donnie, I'm from Eastern Ky , myself..When I was a little girl back in the 70's my mamaw used to tell me and my cousins about the"Booger man" too...She would usually talk about him at night when she was trying to get the kids to settle down to go to bed...She used to say "Y'all better hush up now and be quiet or that ole booger man might come and gitcha" .She really acted like she was scared and nervous sometimes too ,when she told us that...She really didn't like the kids making a lot of noise after dark..We always thought she was just making it up just to scare us...Now I know where she got that story..😳.. Thanks for all those great Appalachian stories you share with us Donnie...They always remind me of home, because deep in the Appalachian mountains of Ky is where I was raised...Your stories always take me back home for a little while.💕Thank you for that Sir 🙂 Oh,P.S. She wouldn't allow us to play in the woods, even as teenagers, without an adult with us,Never..And then she Still didn't want us to go....May she rest in peace.😢😔

Now, I used to live up in Ashe County, NC. I've never seen anything, but, I've heard some scary screams after dark (and it is DARK on those old dirt mountain roads if the moon aint out!) I don't know what it was, but I didn't want to find out either!

This is right up the road from me. Spent a lot of time in the mountains and definitely have seen some things ! Especially at night . A lot of things have happened in these mountains before we were even around and I believe those spirits are there . Can feel it

Your right Donnie. The ridges and hollows do hold many mysteries. When we explore them sometimes we find clues of what was once there.

Another great one Donnie! For everyone out there they are real! If you don’t believe that’s fine but I hope you never do see one for it will change your life. My grandfather and father taught me to ALWAYS tell the truth. In the first week of November 1983 in the Canadian Wilderness I had an encounter with Sabe’ (1st Nations name for Bigfoot). It was about 3:00am and I was in my tent sleeping soundly with my Marlin 45-70 at my side when I was jerked awake by a loud CRACK about 40 yards away. It was no deadfall but an intentional break I rolled out of my bag rifle in hand. I started to reach to find the tent zipper but I swear something said, DON’T DO IT! So there I sat listening as something huge started walking towards my tent. I could calculate by its six foot strides this thing is 10 foot tall and 1,000 pounds. Now there was no moon or light of any kind that night. But as it approached my tent I could tell with every step and start feeling it’s weight of every step hitting the ground. I sat and listened as it walked around my tent very slowly for probably five minutes but it seemed like an hour. Finally it stopped for maybe 30 seconds then turned and started walking back into the bush from where it came until I could no longer hear it anymore. Now Sabe’ could have killed me at any time, hell it could have just fell on me and killed me. I never chambered a round in my powerful bush gun. I felt it only would have made it mad. That’s when I joined the club of no return!

My dad talked about something like this near Greeneville TN. They had a pack of Coon dogs that protected the home place and would run off critters once every something would come down the creek and the pack of dogs would get under the house and wimpier.

Hey Donnie Tommy from Jonesboro I love hearing these stories I'm old hunter I've hunted these mountains from TN to North Carolina and part of Virginia and I've never seen anything but I've hear them and seen the signs and tracks to know their is something out there and people can say I'm crazy but if they got the guts to go with me out in the high mountains and camp for couple of days I think they might change there thinking about wildlife god bless my friend

Thank you, Mr. Laws, for bringing us this very interesting and scary story. You are such an amazing storyteller. This gave me chills. The sound effects added to the suspense. I’m glad I watched in the daytime. Your friend in SC, Jane ❤🙏🏻

You're totally Right Darlin ❤️❤️❤️some things aren't ment to be seen 😉😁lovin your content ❤️

Super video Donnie......when you look at the vastness of the Appalachias and some of the countries mountain ranges...it's not hard to see that a elusive and nocturnal creature or group of creatures could stay well hidden and out of sight...I've had a couple experiences myself while hiking and fishing ... Thanks again for the video Brother .

Hi Donnie. We have the same kind of things that go on like these in Utah. Back in the Uintah mountains. There have been many sightings, strange sounds, and just plan unexplainable things going on. Not only in those mountains. But also, in the Oquirrh mountains as well. Thanks for these stories. I love them.

Love that story love to hear stories of Bigfoot and love your channel have a blessed Tuesday ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Donnie - great story .. I believe you ... Loved the sound of the coon hounds - bring back memories. Thanks for a great story - stay well my friend.

Great report on historical events. So happy to have found your channel. I grew up hearing about the booger man. Never knew it was real.

Yeah, when everything gets quiet and you get the feeling something is behind you 😲 Thanks Donnie 🤗❤️

I do believe myself. I have heard things, but i havnt seen one. Thank you for sharing and God bless you and your family....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

Great Content 💯 I Believe You, 👍 there are too many people who have reported sightings for many years. The 1800's all the way up till today.

The Indians of North America refer to one as Keeper of the Woods,we know him as Bigfoot. We can learn a lot from the Native Indians our friends. Thanks Donnie for sharing your stories with us 🙂.

Always love your stories Donnie.

I always enjoy the stories you tell. I have never heard them referred to as boogers. Here in Texas, they're pretty much referred to as bigfoot or sasquatch. I agree with you that as big of a wilderness as there is in those mountains, there ain't no telling what all is living in there. It makes total sense that bigfoot would live in those mountains since they tend to shy away from human contact (for a good reason I must say.) I think it's a good thing that most people don't believe in them. Otherwise, you would have a bunch of idiots out there trying to hunt them and exterminate them. They are much safer with people not believing these stories.

Good one. Thanks.

Hey Donnie,just looking at the Appalachian Mountains gives me the creeps ! I know we have them here but,our Mountains are not as layered like those 😫. Thanks 😊

Howdy Donnie- that’s quite a story. I figure there’s things we just don’t need to know about and I’m fine with that. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all

Donnie i am a woodsman and live in SC, i am 65 and been in the woods all my life. about 3 years ago i was hunting a 100-acker track of land. down a old back road i caught a glimpse of an upright man ( i thought) run across about 200yds away. the next week me and my wife was deer hunting, she was i a box stand, i was in the woods sitting on the ground with my flintlock rifle. just before dark to my left and about 100yds away it sounded like 2, 2x4 were slapped together with such a force it vibrated in my body! i said out loud, what was that! then in about one min. it did it again except 50yds in the woods! i got up and i was gone! i went back the next day and about 10ft. up was a green treetop about the size of a 4x4 that was twisted off! i still hunt there but have seen or heard nothing else,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks for sharing. Keep up your good work and cool video’s.

it Seem's like no matter where you live. bigfoot has different names. growing up in Florida we know him as the skunk ape. next video i hope he can tell a tale of any ghost stories

I'm in NE Florida and I saw something like that 25yrs ago.

I've got a friend who's old home place is southwest of Asheville, NC at the border of the Great Smoky Mountains. She sent me photos of a track way of large human like footprints that was left in the snow several years ago. The track way went for approx. 1/4 mile up a steep mountain and they could not follow it because it was getting late and had to turn back. Whatever the creature was walked up the driveway past the truck and the house and up the mountain overnight while they slept through a snow storm. It was in the 20's that night and this thing walked barefoot in rugged terrain over a mountain. We had a similar type creature spotted near my home some years ago along what we call the river hill's. Tracks were found and it was seen by several locals. I think that these things are migratory and never stay in one place long unless it is very isolated with sufficient food sources. Back in the hollows of the Appalachia there could be anything as some of those areas very large and remote and most of it National Forest so there is no development and once off the few trails through these areas, you could get lost and never be found. Perfect places for a creature to hide. I think that they come out of these places occasionally looking for food or other creatures like themselves. Too much evidence today and far back to discredit these stories.

Great shows keep up the good work great stories be safe my friend

Donnie Laws, glad to hear a story about the wood booger ,very neat story thank you godbless 🙏

I totally believe it, I’ve heard other very similar stories. Check out stories of Park Rangers from wyoming utah cali etc. they describe the creatures very similarly and down to details air gets still birds stop chirping. A presence is felt. Anyway cool story thanks for sharing.

Fantastic as always, Donnie. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀 - Nicole

Love your videos. It takes me places I've never seen before! I don't travel anymore so through your videos I can travel & get the truth. Thank you!!

Thanks Mr. Donnie for scaring the beegeebees outta me!! Take care and God bless!!

Hey Mr Laws. I Believe every bit of it. God Bless,Stay Safe and stay warm. 🙏🐾🐦🪶🐻👍🙏

Another great story. Thanks for sharing Donnie!

Love these videos and stories. I've lived in Missouri all my life but have always been fascinated with the Appalachian Mountian region. Beautiful country out there. I can't imagine what all is out there!

😲M A N !! ... this was almost too spooky to watch Donnie !! 🤯

Thanks Donnie. I like hearing about the boogers and about haints too. Have yourself a good one.

Lots of mysterys and such..

Absolutely no joke, this topic. I have been "zapped" once while out camping in western NC when I was 9 years old. (56 today) Didn't have any idea what had happened but I was hiking towards a creek to get water at summer camp (went off by myself, dumb idea) and felt like I had stepped on a live electrical short or something. All my hair was stood up and acted like I was half knocked out. Didn't learn until just a few years ago what that probably was.

Yes Sir Your ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I seen one Traveling with 2 Coyotes at 3:30am in Eastern IOWA while camping .🙉🖖

Thanks for another great video Mr Donnie, you never know what's out there in the woods poking around at night. I can tell ya, if I heard or seen something like that I'll would tare the woods down getting outta there, ha. Thanks again my friend.

Mr Laws thank you for another awesome video . Yes The Boogers are real every Mountain Range throughout the world has stories about their version of a Booger in the woods. My Tribes name for one of these Beings is pronounced Key - houk - Saw , which roughly translates into Forget Me as in Forget you have seen me . My family has land in Oklahoma that runs into the Ouachitas Mts. there's a clan of bigfoot that have been on the back forty since my family has owned the land 1890's. We lease some acreage to a cattle rancher he and his sons have found a couple of nests while out running down strays . He said the bedding was huge three of them and the smell left little doubt .

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy all of your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge, and listening to you reminds me of listening to my older relatives telling us kids stories when we were children. My husband and I saw one of these things back in 2004, as we were driving, late one night, in east Texas. We bought a home on 7 acres in Fouke, Arkansas a little over 4 years ago, and we’ve found several prints, as well as had some strange occurrences, especially when I was home alone and my husband was working at night. We also have neighbors who have either seen them or had/have activity. It’s become a very interesting subject to me.

Donnie there was a lot of sightings like this in western Kentucky around this same time. These things are still out there too and it's not just bigfoots either. Thank you for sharing these stories Donnie.

I've watched a lot of your videos but never commented because I watch on TV but had to grab my phone for this lol. I agree I've always thought that there is so much untouched wilderness throughout the entire country especially within the Appalachian mountains that we don't know what is out there. My ears perked when I heard southeast Kentucky as that is where I'm from I would love to hear more stories about this region thanks for all you do great job on the videos!

All your stories are great but when you are talking Appalachian paranormal stories in my opinion these are the best. Thanks !!!

Good one Donnie, You're exactly correct, there's thing out there that will never be seen or explained! Blessings to You!!

There are things in the woods that are seen only when they want to be seen. I’ve spent so much time in the woods I know this for certain. Thank you sir!

Thank for sharing great story

Hey Mr Donnie I love the stories. Oh how I love your stories . it just blrsses my day with your beautiful voice...over in Lee county Virginia they have stories of Cherokees my ancestors dancing around a fire I've heard you can see through. Nope not me. I'd show some golf just how this 70 yr old could run. Yes sir

Hey Donnie. Great story! I live close to the are where the most sightings have been reported, in the Chestnut and Laurel Ridges. Yes sir, I'm a believer! Thank you friend and have a great evening!

GOD BLESS ,AND THANK YOU.

That is a very scary situation. The not knowing what it is , would be the scariest part. I wonder if they ever found the dog? Poor thing. Thanks for sharing ,Donnie. Louise

This unseen crunching of branches and brush happened to me back in the late 90's and it came so close but we still could not see anything so we climbed up a tree and waited 30 minutes until whatever it was stopped than we climbed down and got out of there, this I believe was a spirit of something but not a bigfoot. This happened in Hawk Mountain Sanctuary behind a building where many guests of an old Inn were murdered in their sleep in the mid to late 1800's. Great video Donnie,God bless you.

Thanks for another story that makes a believer out of me ,one thing I know for sure is I never want to be in those woods alone. God bless.

Thanks for the story, have my own family history on this subject and probably 40 miles to the N/E of where your story occurred. Way too many stories to just shrug them off.

You have the best stories Mr Donny !!!!

An absolutely AWESOME video,Mr.Donnie! Spooky🤪

Thank you for the Sasquatch encounter. I’ve spent a great deal of time over the last 10 years or so listening to stories like this. I think I heard one, but I didn’t see it. I saw the destruction it did and it really couldn’t have been anything else. Thanks again!🐝🤗❤️

Creepy story Donnie thanks for sharing the story interesting

Thanks again Donnie. 😊

Thank you. I'm a true believer and it makes sense that those mountains would have them.

Great video as always.We called them the boogie Man

Great story, my friend. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this.

Thanks Donnie for sharing this great story.

Fonde Mountain is a creepy place at night. Not a lot of civilization up there. Great video.

Thanks again Donnie for another great video 🙏👍

Donnie I love your down to earth truthfulness. I lived in NW South Carolina, and there are things people from those parts like to talk about.

Enjoyed this story Mr. Donnie. You’re right there’s no telling what all lives out in those Great Smoky Mountains that man have never seen before. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻😊😊

Another great story Donnie, ty

Donnie my kinfolk live in Kimper Kentucky about 8 miles east of Pikeville every time I go down to see them I look up at the mountains and wonder what's in those hills my imagination runs wild but I love it down there its so beautiful you can't beat it.Great video and God Bless

Another creepy story for October! Thank you!

What an awesome video. The sound and pictures, especially with good headphones, are so immersive along with the great story telling voice. These creatures are real. I encountered one a few years ago out west and it's the same creature people see in the east and a lot of North America. Not just a big ape, not just a supernatural phenomenon. I tend to think they are a type of person, akin to something like neanderthal, highly adapted to the night, and very adept at hiding among trees and rocks. The adults are huge, and they are extremely fast. They catch deer bare handed and snap their neck and carry them off and eat them raw. They like to avoid people and will spook us away, but are also curious and will come around houses sometimes, curious of people, especially children, and also looking for easy food to take. Generally they don't hurt people but I sure wouldn't chance it. They do know what guns are and I think that's part of the reason they spook people away... They don't like our guns, for obvious reasons plus we compete for game. They are as smart as we are, but in different manners of language and probably mental abilities. And they HATE dogs. We humans and our dogs I think evolved to protect each other from this other type of wild hairy man, which is the superior predator, and dogs are a nuisance to them because they can sniff em out. But dogs don't want to go near because they have the same fear instinct as we do, when these big hairy people of the woods are nearby. They will definitely kill your dogs if they feel threatened by them. Not to eat, but to simply dispatch and silence.

I love these stories and I believe😳
