I have an accurate story of a call at night that scared the shit out of me and my mom so here it goes: I was asleep when I awoke to my mom urgently waking me to notify me that someone had just called to her from our gate which was not visible from our porch due to some trees and the winding of the driveway, anyway when I awoke I instinctively told her to arm herself and I did the same with a glock. Shortly after this I went outside and made sure to check the perimeters, scanning around and looking for said person/thing. After I had gotten done, I went back to the front to fire a warning shot into the ground, a little after this we hear another “hey!” similar to the one my mom had heard before. I then told the voice that they should get the fuck out of there and that we were not going to help them in anyway. I suppose that worked since the perpetrator ended up not doing anything else to us that night. More context to the story- we live in the boonies, about 1 mile from the next neighbor, on a dirt road, and about 10 miles from town. This was chilling only due to the fact that we know that people that are out late on our road are most likely doing something they should not be doing (due to the fact that not many people live on this road). Hope this creeps you out a little bit because it definitely activated my fight or flight when it happened.

I’m a city suburbs girl married to a country boy from Appalachian mountains. Whenever I visit there, it’s so beautiful just like a different world.

I have a wendigo story from the Appalachian mountains in Virginia! I was probably about 5-6 years old, it's dark at this point and I'm standing around a fire pit when I got up to wander around and find sticks/rocks, whatever made my little heart happy lol. All of a sudden I heard a strangely familiar voice calling me from the dark woods, behind my great grandpa's shed. It sounded like my mother, who was NOT in my life at this point, so naturally, I went running to see her! Then I heard my great grandfather frantically YELL my name, and told me to get my ass on the porch which was 80 feet away or so. As soon as I started walking I heard and felt a breathy, low pitched, gravely growl right behind me. I was too afraid to turn around, but I'm damn sure there was a wendigo behind me!! I feel so lucky to be alive honestly! I grew up hearing and reading stories about those woods, that I was NEVER allowed to enter. I figured it was just because of the snakes, poisonous plants, etc. Now I know how many people went missing in those woods or had terrifying experiences!!

good tips to follow 1-never explore the woods at night; only flee if you have to and if you have to then be as prepared as possible 2-look everywhere you step, for you might step on a copperhead 3-never whistle in the woods; hungry creatures can find you easily 4-always bring a flashlight; you never know if you will end up stranded in these woods or not 5-always have a weapon, no matter what weapon it is, keep one with you at all times 5-be careful with who you interact; I heard rumors about cannibals here 6-be quiet, and listen, for someone or something could be stalking you. 7-bring supplies for stuff like campfires, tents, etc. 8- always be with at least one buddy you know in the woods 9-if you get lost, be extremely careful and know where you are at, since the mountains have bad wifi signals

Rules 1 & 6 I'd have to debate. Rule 1 is true is true if you dont have a flashlight, aside from that there isnt any more danger at night than there is during the day. Rule 6 is horrible advice in bear country, you want them to know you're in the area, the last thing you want to do is make the bear think you're sneaking up on it. Edit: Also rule 9...

I was camping along a stream in a holler near my home. I would go down and fish at night and only one time had I heard my name called. I had gotten into my bivy and fell asleep. Around 3 am I had to take a p. My small fire was out so I turned on the red light feature on my head lamp and went to go when I heard my name called. It was mimicking a recent girlfriend and we had broken up. I knew immediately it wasn't her. I turned off the light and made it back to my bivy. It called out again. This time a bit closer. I already knew the rule. I heard some rustling but I kept quiet. I had about 3 hours or so before sun up. It was the longest stretch of time before the sky began to brighten. As soon as I could see clearly I packed up and hiked out. While I still to this day hike and fish that holler, I do not go to that spot after sunset.

There are several variations of the “shadow beings”. Another I like to call “the shimmers” are around the size of a person, and are translucent, but they distort the air around them, like heat waves when you’re looking over a really hot surface. Whatever they are, whether they look like shadows, shimmers, smoke, etc., I think they are some kind of being that lives in remote wilderness that hunts people who are vulnerable in the moment. Some say it’s responsible for the “missing 411” cases that are catalogued by David Paulides. Say what you will about Paulides, but this is an issue he’s brought tremendous attention to, and has been happening long before he started writing about it.

@CWCvilleCop Had a similar experience in an old, overgrown, haunted cemetary in Illinois about 25 years ago. Exploring the perimeter of the cemetary grounds at about midnight with my brother, when we heard the most horrible and loud sound. It was like the growling, choking , gurgling of a buffalo being strangled. Along with the thumping of some enormous animal getting up on its feet. You could feel the ground shake as if something very heavy was stomping on it. I immediately pulled my .45 auto and pointed it in the direction from which these noises came. At the same time I announced in a loud and firm voice : "I don't know if you understand English, but I have a magnum handgun here, which may not kill you, but will definitely blow ham sized chunks off your body !!" I think the calm and forceful tone of my voice gave whatever it was pause, because it got real quiet real fast. My brother and I then gradually and carefully withdrew from the area.

This is something I have a hard time believing. My mom went into the woods **ALONE** when she was at her grandpa’s house in the Appalachian mountains and she heard nothing like this. My dad grew up in the Appalachian mountains and I’m sure he’s probably been in the woods alone or in the woods after dark and hasn’t seen anything or heard anything like that.

I would suspect that spiritual beings can work around our senses. Even deaf people can hear voices in their heads (without being metnally ill). And blind people can have visions.

I did that before. I heard my name behind and i said "what". I was in a camping trip at this time and i was around 14-15. I was walking with my brothers and heard my name called from behind. It was around 5 pm at this time, after i reply and looked back, i saw nothing. Something only happened when i went to sleep. I had nightmare of being choked by a women that stared right in my eyes with a bloody eye and rotten teeth. I couldn't move, or anything. I closed my eyes for a long time and then i woke up in the middle of the night in my tent gaspng for air. My brother was on his phone so he saw me gasping and wonder wtf happened. He said he heard me making noises in my sleep but just shrugged it off. I explained what i dreamt abd stayed up that night never going to sleep.

I've heard the same rules in some areas of Oregon, always those rules are regarding the mountainous areas of our great state. Not talking about "bigfoot". Here in East Oregon, bigfoot isn't a large part of our mythology. But that "thing" that you don't turn around to, the THING you don't run away from, that THING that cries like a distressed screaming baby during the night in the forest?? I've heard it twice. Once at night when I couldn't see it and that baby screaming sent chills up my spine during the dark part of the night in the deep woods. That baby screech when there's no moon, no light, runs right up your spine. Years later I saw one of THEM in broad daylight, and I heard it scream and mewl like a dying baby, and it made my skin crawl. ....Ignore it, ignore the screaming of that "infant", get to shelter and if you have a gun, have it loaded and ready. This predator knows how to "speak" to you, it knows human frailty, it waits with claws and fangs. It speaks the language of human weakness. And for that, it should be feared most among all the monsters of the night.

A man hears a weather broadcast that there will be flooding in his area, he thinks to himself "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me." A police officer drives by and tells him to evacuate for his safety. He tells the officer "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me." Water floods his yard and the first floor of his house. He climbs to the second and thinks "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me." A boat drives by and offers the man a ride to safety, but he tells them "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me." The flood reaches his second story and he has to climb on the roof, all the while thinking "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me." A helicopter flies by as the water laps his ankles on the roof, but he yells up to them "I'll be okay, Jesus will save me!" The water eventually overtakes him and he drowns. He gets to Heaven and asks Jesus "Why didn't you save me??" and Jesus responds, "What do you mean? I sent you a weather alert, a police officer, a boat, and a helicopter!"

You need to understand spiritual entities use legal rights, and lower entities look for loopholes. If you invited it, it feels it has the right to stay. If you went to a certain location of your own free will, it is viewed as an invitation. That's why you don't paranormal investigate without understanding how to use protection prayers.
