I share the stories as they're shared with me. True or False is completely up to the viewer. God bless 💙 🙏

I grew up in the Appalachians of South East Wva.I know people who have never seen a town never left their home area.What I will tell you is not a story it is fact call them feral or what ever but they do exist. I know this for fact.

My family are from the mountains also, and my grandpa have ran across men like this so I know 100% this is true. My grandpa said if you leave these people alone they will leave you alone.

Some folks just want to live out there in the woods and be left alone.

Anyone who served in the military knows how hard it was to re-adjust to living as a civilian again. Most civilians are not easy to get along with, for Veterans. I live near Amish farms and families. Their ways are odd to me; but, I treat them with respect and go out of my way not to upset any of them. When I needed a new roof, I hired an Amish crew to do the job. The cost was agreed on; and, the new metal roof was installed in one day. They don't waste any time or materials; and, they cleaned up everything before they left. You have to treat other people with respect (even those who are very different from you). Feral people have rights also. Many of them have their reasons for living where they are. Thank you for this story. There are two good lessons to be learned from this video. Treat other people with respect; and, don't mess around (walk, run, ride, hunt, play, dump, or party) on other peoples property.

That would sure be a creepy encounter for sure. Would prove to me that people like that would be 100 times more connected and in tune with their surroundings than most people. You would probably be on the loosing end of an encounter with them.

I believe that story, as i have kinfolk from those hills I know, but have to meet. I’m 65 yrs old!

I love listening to these stories and I love the music. Great job. God bless you and yours.

Ever want to see feral people come to North Charleston, SC! There’s plenty of feral types here!

WOW that's amazing Jared. That's a strange experience. Thanks so much for sharing my brother.

There were “feral people “ that I knew of in our Eastern KY hills too. 3 brothers ( All in the 50s maybe)that all lived on a ridge with no other people. No road access to their makeshift home. Deep into the woods. They were raised to be recluses, as their parents were the same way and had died off. They made 1 monthly trip into our local town for groceries and supplies each month. They would walk the mile down the mountain to the closest neighbor , and he would give them a ride to town. They were very strange acting but polite and cordial. They would buy their supplies (mainly coffee , kerosene and other things they couldn’t produce themselves. They would bring them back and load them up on a mule and buggy and take them back up the mountain. Rumors were that they all had never been to school or public places and got government checks. Idk that for sure though. They stayed to themselves and never bothered anyone.

I'm glad this topic is getting popular on your channel. Great work as always.

Another great story, thank you Brother!

In the area I live on there was a state hospital. When the hospital closed, many of the patients became part of the homeless population. I also recall there was a patient whose mother had abandoned them. This person claimed to have traveled through the Rocky mountains to this area. You never can tell

I'm new here, I just subbed (47,400k subs) I peeked at some of your videos, I honestly can't wait to binge watch! A little about me, I'm a 54 yr old disabled woman from NC who has FSHD2 Muscular Dystrophy so my hiking & exploring days were over when I lost my ability to walk. When I was younger I loved hiking (a lot of heavy bushwhacking) thru the Appalachian Mountains. I didnt get to check out the Blue Ridge mountains as much as I'd like to bc I was addicted to Appy. I still have family up on those mountains in nc! One great aunt & uncles property span from nc and carries over the border into Eastern TN. (Rains' and Johnsons) Thank you for sharing all your stories/research, etc with all of us! It means the world to me, to tell these stories keeping them in the light. I appreciate all the time, energy, and effort you put into this channel as well as keeping the history alive...Much Love and respect from a lil ole lady from central NC!

I've lived in Appalachia 50 years and I know their out there

Great story!!! you know, I've been to the Smoky Mountain region probably 17 different times in my life, but I'm smart enough not to stray too far from the main trails. There's a feeling out there, that's for sure.

I was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of south eastern Kentucky,I haven't seen any other people, besides my family, until I was 7 years old

Thanks, Daniel, for sharing your grandfather s story, Thanks, Brother Jared for sharing

We also have feral people where i live. London.

When we were with our mountains, we 'd been taught that there's someone on the trail, you give a little nod of acknowledgement, but no eye contact. Even up in the Blue Ridge you can easily find lean-tos and such.

Mr. King I just recently came across your channel and i absolutely love these stories, they just put my mind in a different place and i thoroughly enjoyed them God Bless .

Wow! This is an amazing story! Very interesting!🥰♥️

Thank you, Jared. That was a goodn🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Awesome, and I believe ❤🍁✨️

Great video. That's for sharing. You are a great story teller

Just discovered your channel and it’s awesome! Thanks for sharing these amazing stories!

I'm so glad I came across your channel,you are a master storyteller, and your nine minute video only seemed like a few minutes,because a person becomes so engrossed in your story🙌

A heartfelt thanks for your channel. Truly appreciate the stories you share.

Hi Jared! Much thanks to Daniel Rigsby for sharing his family's story with you to tell. I believe as he does, that most feral mountain people don't want to cause trouble and will leave you alone if you simply don't hassle them and let them exist. I suppose, however, that that's no more completely true there than it is on any large city street! But I will take the mountains over the large city any day of the week and twice on Sunday! There's good, bad, and the unexplained in both, but if your good to life in the mountains, they'll be good to you! Not so sure about the city anymore. Y'all take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊

Another amazing story I believe these people are in these mountains But I do know the people that give respect and given respect in return my Daddy and my Granddaddy taught me that Thank you Mr. Jared for sharin another wonderful Bless ya and your family Love ya bunches

Amazing story. Kinfolk, do you think possibly that when the government paid people to leave their land for a state park that some of them moved further in the mountains and became feral? I mean, how did they come to be? Thanks for sharing this. Lord bless brother.

Another great share jared. 👍 🤗

Great story, thanks Jared.😊❤

Enjoyed this! Thank you!

so glad i found your channel! please keep the feral people stories coming i love them and been watching your other videos all are so exteresting.

enjoyed brother

Sounds like nearly half of the population of Southwest Virginia.

My father was an old man he told me about feral people of the mountains of Northern Carolina

Right on Mr.Jared

Great story and thanks for sharing! Would never want to walk in those woods lol! but i do love Tennessee♥

Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a good day.

It wouldn't surprise me that any large forest would have feral people in them. Especially out in the Pacific Northwest, or any state with huge forests where people could hide, but find enough game or wild plants to live on...

Great story. My comment is why wouldn’t there be? They probably lived there a very long time.😊

Your voice makes me want to curl up in a blanket in front of a roaring fire and listen to you all night ❤

Great story Jared! Thanks😊

Really excellent stories, brother, thanks and God bless!

Back in the sixties when I was a child we lived in a holler it forked off and another holler on the left side was about mile and half long nobody lived up it but my daddy hunted it a lot he saw a wild man many times he said I was about seven years old and my mommy and a few of my sisters and brothers ( there was fifteen of us kids ) would walk up in there a lot we had a few gardens up in there so we were in there a lot but one day we were about half way up and here came a man he ran across the road in front of us he was so fast he had long strangy hair a beard and overalls on I don’t think I saw his feet it scared us every one and through the years after I grew up daddy said he would see him ever now and then one night we heard gunshots pow fast firing when they stopped we ran to see what happened and my dad was standing there with his pistol in his hand said that the wild man was looking through the window and he slept with his pistol beside him he said he saw him looking in the window and eased his hand on his gun and fired from where it was laying beside him in the bed the window he shot out was over six feet off the ground and saw him one night around Christmas we a were just hanging out a bunch of us at mommy’s I was standing in front of the gas heater talking and turned around and there he was looking through the window on the porch I screamed and every body ran out side but he got away our chickens would get gone a lot We didn’t think nothing of it it just excited us I guess we were just as strange as he was to us lol but I can still see him when I think about it it’s my memory daddy told us not to bother him that he might be somebody that was in the war

You should watch the movie "Nell" starring Jodie Foster.
