Grew up in northern New England, spent a lot of time in the woods and on the mountains. Let me tell you, that bit about the woods getting silent is no joke. The woods can get pretty quiet sometimes, more so at certain times of the year, but dead silent? Never felt anything like that, the urge to move and get the heck out of there. Didn't see anything, didn't encounter anything, but wow, that feeling of something being dead wrong in your gut. Won't forget that.

That quiet in the woods one is real. If everything goes silent, that normally means nothing good, and it's best to gtfo of the area as quickly as you can. Ever get a sick feeling in the woods like you shouldn't be there or something bad happened here or somethings watching you. Listen to that. It might save your life. Oh! and NEVER explore any U.S. forest unarmed you are not at the top of the food chain.

One thing about Appalachian Mountains most people don't consider is just how mind boggling old they are. They've been around as solid, dry land for over 480 million years. They've been around before the continent of Pangea existed. They're older than the first dinosaurs by good 240 million years. I'm not saying supernatural things happen there, but there very might be things living in those mountains that are nowhere else to be found...

The benevolent old lady spirit reminds me of a 66 yr old woman named geraldine largay who was an avid hiker that got lost in the appalachian trail and was found dead in her tent 2 yrs later. People who last saw her alive described her as having an infectious smile. 😢😢😢

I didn’t grow up in the Appalachian but I did grow up in the woods of southeast Texas, the “Texiana” area. You learn that the woods are old and there are things in them that are natural and unnatural. When the woods go silent, be ready. When you hear someone yelling, don’t go looking for them. If you feel you are not alone and the woods go silent, that’s because you’re not alone and you need to move out of that area quickly. Pay respects to the land you live on or it will not respect you.

Born and raised in WV for 30 years and I loved this story. I often tell the city people I live with now in Ohio that “if you hear your name in the woods, no you didn’t” and “when the woods go quiet YOU to quiet”.

A forest ranger story combined with a rules story?! And about my home mountain range?! Perfection.

The only people who I’ve ever seen disobey these rules and be okay afterwards are people from deep Appalachia. You don’t want to break them if you’re not. Our ‘folk tales’ have some genuine truth and basis behind them. These things are not to be messed with, and not to be doubted.

In the Appalachians in Maine, my homeland, before you set out for the day, check your pack for rocks. You can leave or keep them. The important part is to know if they're there before heading out. If you discover a rock in your pack after starting the day's hike, put it in your pocket until the next day. Then search your pack for rocks, pretend to find it and leave it in the spot where your fire was. If you just made camp after hiking and discover a rock in your pack, in addition to the previous steps you need to pick up camp and move at least 100 yards away.

If “the quiet” happens around you, making noise yourself is a good idea. Paranormal aside, when it gets quiet, that’s usually a sign that a predator is around. You’re in a lot more danger if you happen to surprise that predator. Sneaking up on a bear, for example. That is one of the most dangerous things you can do in the woods. Making noise prevents that from happening.

Growing up in up state NY for the first 21 years, I only encountered dead silence one time, turned out I was being stalked by a mountain lion

I am new to Lighthouse Horror. I work the nightshift. I would like to say the narration and stories are spot on.. I really enjoy the 2 and 3 hour stories, it makes the long nights go by faster... new fan... thank you

Never been to Appalachia, never been anywhere near it, but I have lived in southern Arizona my whole life, and let me tell you, there are some very strange things out in the desert similar things to whats in Appalachia. There are also some strange things in the mountains here too. I’ve always lived in the middle of nowhere, both the mountain’s and the desert. This story doesn’t sound real but it most certainly is, heres one of the strangest things I have ever seen. Way out on a back road in Arizona. I was driving my ATV, found a fence with some old government property signs, and outside the fence was a checkpoint thing. Bullet casings were everywhere all of them were either 12 guage slugs, 9mm, or 5.56, and on the fence was either rust or old dry blood. Inside this fence was a building, burnt to a crisp, about 20 gas cans were just sitting outside it, someone wanted it gone. So anyways I drive in and thats when I get the worst feeling of fear I’ve ever had, and I just stop. I scan the area for around 5 minutes until I see them, another set of eyes looking right back at me. They were white, and standing around 10 foot tall. Couldn’t see anything else besides the eyes in the darkness of that building. Then it moves, and I could hear it moving around, I start my four wheeler and high tail it out of there. Weirdest part of this whole story, is about a month after this happened, someone moved on the land, less than a day later, they had fences up, solar panels, a bunch of satellites and not just little satellite I mean the big ones, and theres just a small concrete building on the land. I haven’t seen anyone come in or out of there before, anyone except this odd black truck with government plates. I think I found something, something that I shouldn’t have found and ever since that day, I swear I see things looking at me out of the corner of my eye. Edit: story 2 Here is one of my more recent story’s. I was taking a walk one night up in the mountains, I started from my property and was walking down the road to the gas station, which was about 4 miles away. I get half way down the mountain and then I hear the weirdest thing I had ever heard, it was like an ancient demonic language it sounded like… an old Native Americans language but more sinister I couldn’t understand a word of it. Then came this mix of distorted wolves howling and coyotes yipping, now as I’m sure you know we don’t have any wolves in Southern AZ not even in the mountains and we definitely don’t have any wolf coyote hybrids. But the worst part of all that was, it came from the direction of my damn house, and the whole way down I felt watched and I felt followed, all I had to protect myself was an old 380 pistol because my revolver was broken at the time I have since gotten it fixed. Anyways, I made it the gas station and started walking back up the mountain which I just had a real bad feeling about doing so I got a ride back up the mountain. But yeah, thats another one of my story’s Arizona is home to some of the strangest things, and if you seek them out like I do, either you will find them, or they will find you.

These “strange rules” stories are always so wild. Author thinks they are super strange yet the list is there for your survival. Love the stories and the narration.

I worked with the USFS both as a paid ranger for a short time, and a volunteer for 7 years. It was a great job, I was in the Laguna Mountains outside of San Diego, California, I met a lot of nice visitors in those years. Also worked in various parks, that were State or County run. I miss those days.

Yeah, definitely never respond to people calling your name from the woods. I've had experience with that one. I live in the Appalachias. It started my junior year. When I was waiting for my bus to come, I would hear people calling my name from the woods behind my house. Our house was on the outskirts of the Jefferson National Forest. Different versions of my name by both male and female voices. It got to be pretty bothersome, so I said something to my dad. He went pale and told me to ignore them and never go looking for them.

As someone who grew up in rural Kentucky yeah a bunch of the rules are right. My mamaw had me memorized the woods around us too.

I’m an avid horror fanatic and a well seasoned hunter/outdoorsman, and I am absolutely obsessed with Appalachia. It is honestly one of the most fascinating places in the world to me. I love how old and beautiful yet terrifying it is and nothing has yet to capture this same degree of wonder from me.

I own a few hundred acres of property in the Hills of North Louisiana that were a large Caddo Indian village for hundreds of years and we have Indian Mounds and burial grounds on property and we also have multiple Criptids like Bigfoot, Dogmen and even Thunderbirds. We have seen ghosts of Native Americans and even Spanish ghosts as they camped on the property during the DeSoto expedition hundreds of years ago and a couple of soldiers ghosts from the Civil War. The land has been in our family for over 275 years. Every time we go out there we experience something and we have video and photo proof.

I grew up in these mountains. The same ones in the story. I was born and raised in Tennessee. Spent a lot of time in Carolina and Virginia. I’ve seen and heard some wild stuff in the Appalachians. There’s area you don’t go alone. There’s areas you don’t go at night. There’s area you don’t go ever unless you have an invitation. Everyone on that part of the mountain will know you’re there before you even see one person. I wouldn’t be surprised if this story was originally true.

I love the idea of Geraldine becoming a benevolent spirit for her fellow hikers. 💕

I went out on the old trail near Laurel Gorge one late fall. No one was around and I was all alone. I heard something in the woods. Things grew silent. I moved as fast and deliberately back to the car. I started to get in when I heard a large tree branch falling. I thought it was going to hit the car. But it got stuck in the tree. Anyway I was a bit uneasy and I drove home after that. It must have been my imagination. But I still can't shake the feeling that something was off that day.

As a wildland firefighter. I love these kind of stories. Makes me want to write my own

just wanna say how much I love this new format with you showing your face. It feels a lot more like somebody sitting down with me and telling me a story of theirs!

I live a couple miles away from the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania. It's a beautiful place to hike but you definitely perk up when things go silent. It's eerie.

I'm from Jersey but most of my family is from Ireland so I've been a few times, anyway my grandparents own a farm in Sligo and when I was 13 I went over to spend the summer. One night I was looking out the window in the room I was staying in on the second floor and across the street is one of their fields. There was something in the field that wasn't there sheep, I didn't get a good look at it but it was big, dark and had red eyes. Everything in my body was telling me not to acknowledge it so I didn't, I just scanned over the rest of the field and glanced at the church before closing the curtain and going to bed. I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eyes as I did this. It was going towards an old cemetery about a half mile up the road. Me and my grandma found a dead cat on top of one of my relatives that was buried in their graves. Freaks me out to this day. I never told anyone about it either.

I love hearing stories from my area! And the fact that you pronounce Appalachia right😂❤ Your format keeps getting better! So awesome to see your journey, incredible talent. I love how you maintain your audience, not change your content for higher views. I have a lot of respect for you for this reason.

I love that in spite of all of the weird and wild things Ryker was warned about, he still wanted to move close to those woods. Excellent.

I love the way you tell these stories, not flat and emotionless, but not overly animated and obnoxiously loud either, like other narrators can be. It's like hearing someone you know personally telling you something that happened to them. It's a more personal feeling. Love that! And love that we can see you, personalizes it even more, especially with this kind of story!

the whole whistling in the woods part at night. Also pretty much mean don't make any sound at night. Because the whistling are initially attracted the creature but when the guy spoke and said what the hell it located him immediately and zoned it on his speech as well. So it seems like any noise that's not natural force noises will draw it.

The quiet woods one is so real, honestly more terrifying than if I heard a t rex roar in the middle of the woods

I grew up in the mountains of Buncombe and Madison counties. I wondered forests and trails as a child. I heard most of these tails my whole life. As a kid, some of these things are kind and helpful. On seperate occasions, i got turned around and had an old man come along and point me the right direction. There wasnt anything scary or strange about him, but i was miles from anything both times, and it was the same man years apart. In very different locations. I have also heard the babies cry and women scream. I was always told it was bobcats, and to avoid getting closer. When the forest gets deathly quiet, move quickly and be ready to fight.

Oh yes, now I can relax for the night, been waiting to see if you were going to post tonight, thank you, love you always put me to sleep at night, you have such a soothing voice❤❤❤❤

We had a saying in our country regarding paranormal sounds in wild that whenever it sounds near it is actually very far and when it sounds faint it is actually very near.

I was a camp counsellor in 2019 in North Carolina's smoky mountains.. on our overnight campout deeper in the woods, around 4am when all the kids were sleeping, way off in the distance I started to hear what I described as sounding like an old siren with a howl like quality/, it slowly approached for the next 45 minutes or so, on and off getting louder and louder then just stopped. Very remote area, no roads and no idea what it was. Ended up reading about bigfoot the last year or so and thought it might be that, but definitely find it harder to believe there is a moving speaker running around the woods, but who knows! anyone who has had a similar experience please feel free to share

The flow of words is smooth, The depiction of the story’s atmosphere is colourfully imaginative and breathlessly captivating suspense buildup is verily attention rejuvenating Masterful toggling of emotions of the characters in the story

It's true you can come across camps or even small villages with shack like homes. While hiking the smokey mountains. It's best just to avoid them and keep moving in any direction that prevents you from entering. As long as you bypass it, you will be fine. I came across one of those shack like villages saw some women and kids but no adult men. Yet it seemed every boy over the age of 10 had a rifle or shotgun as the moved about bare footed. Seemed no one there had shoes of any kind. We changed course to avoid it did not allow our curiosity to get the best of us. And after about a mile even the sense of unease we felt left. The rest of the trip was uneventful. After we just chalked it up to weird things you see in the woods. Now I'm not sure if this was supernatural or just people living off grid so to speak. However the rule is leave them alone and they will do the same.

NC boy here. While, I grew up on the SE coast near the OBX, I regularly went on many solo trips to the mountains as a wayward very young artistic adult trying to "find myself." Lol. Let me tell you. I never found myself, but am certain that things found me. I know there is a lot of folklore speak, and many people will disregard said talk as simply mythical nonsense. It is not. I never once personally saw anything, but every time "something" "found" me, I definitely knew it. That famous, "if everything goes silent," mantra is VERY real. Imagine being in an ancient forest with vibrant wildlife to hear all around you. And suddenly, like a light switch flipping to off, all sound stops. The wind even seemingly stops. This happened to me, and when it did, I vowed never to return without at least two others with me; and I haven't. The feeling of suddenly not being alone, even though you hiked out alone, is heart pounding. You feel it in your bones; your very being. You'd better know how to backtrack out of wherever you are. For some reason, something told me to NOT run. But y'all, I felt like I was going to faint from sheer terror at the unknown and unseen. When I previously mentioned that I wouldn't go back alone ever again, I meant it. Not only that, I've never been back since. I last went when I was about 22-23. I'm now 37. I'm absolutely convinced: that's where the wild things are. I will never go back, that deep, into that old ancient forest. No amount of money would get me there again.

This was the best written and the best narrated story I've heard 💙💙 I enjoyed it so much!!! I've not heard a better "rules story" ever!!! Thank you Stephen, you did an excellent job on this story 💙💙 Much love from South Carolina ❤️ xx May God always bless you keep you healthy and safe ❤️🙏❤️ Edit: It's awesome to put a face to the voice!!!

I literally have devoured your entire KZfaq content. I can't get thru my work days without your narrations!! Thank you for all you do! ❤

If someone gave me a list like that and I believed 1% of it I’d say, “Well, no more hiking for me.”

I never understand how someone could live with windows without shutters of some kind: is just common sense and not only for additional protection against intruders (humans or animals) but also against the kinds of bad weather able to break your windows. Having purposely weak, vulnerable points in your own house is beyond my understanding.

I grew up on a huge family farm in West Virginia and when the forest goes silent its time to go. As a life long hunter I unfortunately know what it feels like to be the hunted. I was stalked, hunted, by a Puma. I also almost became lunch for a huge Black Bear. In my tree stand 35 feet up a young Red Oak tree, the bear climbed up and tried to bite my boot but I put the business end of my 300 Winchester Magnum between his eyes and blew his brains out. Scared the Be-Jesus outta me. His pelt now lays flat on my floor in front of my fireplace.

Born, raised, and living in The Daniel Boone National Forest up in the Kentucky Appalachians... This is my home. I would never want to change anything about my heritage... I feel extremely privileged to have grown up here. There are insufferable people here who do nothing but complain about everything "wrong" with the region. Of course, these same people are 100% extremely left-leaning liberals who LOVE the làrger city areas that I and most people who have always been rooted here really, really hate!!! Lol, a Wampus Cat... I have heard all about those, especially growing up... As a small child, on more than one occasion I heard someone calling my name. It was an invisible person. I know because it was right in front of me and nothing was even there. Funny, I had a black and white English Shepherd named Rex. This story is very true to life in Kentucky! Thank you for the story!!!

STEPHEN, you are in an INCREDIBLE ROLL! My friend thank you so very much for the FANTASTIC video! 🏕️🔥👊😎🔥🏕️

I grew up in New Jersey. We have the Pine Barrens and the Appalachians, and they border each other, having similar ages. It's weird to comprehend how old and "undisturbed" these areas are. I actually experienced something akin to the red eyes when i was 12 or 13. It was a camp sleepover. They allowed the junior boys (summer after 6th grade) and senior boys (summer after 7th grade) to spend one night at the end of the summer, overnight. We all slept in this big open air meeting area. Raised concrete slap, steps leading up, covered, etc. There was a game room attached to it but nobody ever slept in the game room. The game room was a corrugated metal room attached to the main structure, and had books at the far end. Only one window in the game room and it faced the door. I went and got a book and sat down on the steps with my back to the door. I had trouble sleeping. I then looked up and saw two red eyes staring at me through the glass. I screamed and ran into the main room. The counselors listened to my story and calmed me and the others down. The counselors insisted we wait in the main area and do not leave the covered building. They said it must have been an animal and encouraged us all to sleep closer together, nobody on the outlying benches. To this day i know it wasn't a wild animal. This came borders on the pine barrens. People hear New Jersey and think chemical plants. If people realized how much of New Jersey was not developed they would be surprised.

I live in the Appalachian mountains and I just love these stories. The mountains should be feared 😊

Me and my bf are planning to hike the Appalachian trails in a few weeks.. he’s always liked the paranormal and convinced me to watch this. Wish me luck 🥲

I really like this one, coming from the person who made the list of rules. There's something kind of cozy about it, even though parts of it are spooky. I also really like the details of the benevolent spirit and the old storyteller. Not everything uncanny is scary or evil.

I live in the Appalachian mountains and I LOVE these rules tales 😂😂❤

I was thinking of listening to this tomorrow at work but I guess I couldn't wait. 😅 Thank you for becoming such a contributing factor to me getting through the day, LH! ❤

I think the best thing I learned from this is that 12 gauge answers almost any problem.

I've never clicked on a channel so fast!!! Lighthouse Horror + A Follow the Rules Story = SIMPLY, UTTERLY PERFECTION!!!

You are such an amazing narrator that I always feel like I’m right there in the story. Also, the drawings are great they really added to the story. I also like being able to watch you tell the story. I hope you will keep doing that. 💕💕💕

This was another awesome tale , with a fantastic choice in backgrounds, great voice and wonderful to see our favorite narrator, LH, thank you! 💜 I live in Alaska, upon moving up here in the military, we were told a list of rules and guidelines for surviving this state. As a kid, I took it seriously, big wildlife I could see nearby vs the bugs & bees in upstate NY, haha.

Began dating my wife in the early 70s. We'd go to the mountains Friday afternoon after work and walk up to a tourist geological formation late at night to camp further up (See "Last of the Mohicans"). We always felt at home, until one time everything got silent about 3 in the morning. I got a terrible feeling that something *insane* was on the mountain and we had to get down from there. On the way down I felt followed and the light picked out a lynx stalking us behind in the middle of the road. That was just a cat being a cat and not what spooked me. That made for a long Friday that ran well into Saturday. We never went back.

I love the way you're doing your videos now & how you're narrating while showing who you are! It makes me feel like you're actually telling me the story & not just narrating it. Makes it feel more personal!! And this story was very good & relatable to me, as I'm from & live in Ky & also once hadda dog myself who's name was Barkley!!!🤨😊

I don't care for numbered rules tales, and I did see the post earlier but passed on it for that reason. It's now 12 a.m. and because I love his voice, and the cadence, and the general calmness of his narration, I'm here. I'm so happy that I am.☺️

Just being a strong fan who hasn't ever shared my appreciation: Thank you. You do a fantastic job with narating and your nuances are point on. Thank you for the story telling, you have a gift for it!

You are my favorite narrator on youtube. I love scary stories, but I want fiction mostly. Hearing stories of real life monsters from Reddit isnt fun for me. You havent really put out a story that i didn't like. I love the long stories. Barnabys grocery story, Charlies store, and i baught a haunted house and no believes me are my favorites. I laugh, I think, and I pick up something new everytime I listen. You read them wonderfully with voice change and perfect tones. Thank you for all your hard work that goes into these. Thank you.

Thank you for all the amazing content!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 The stories are always awesome. Your narrations are incredible! You are absolutely one of the best story tellers on KZfaq! 💯💯

Stories my elders would say when we went camping are very similar to this

I just love when you stand in the screen to tell the story. Makes it even better.

I grew up in Northeast Georgia in the foothills of the Appalachian trail. A beautiful wooded area with much history, natural energy, and things that happen that I wouldn't want to experience again. When I was a kid, I had a habit of playing in the woods right outside my house if I wasn't at my neighbor's house playing with them. If anyone reading this grew up in the area, you know how the dogwood trees grow all twisted and can form their own sub forest within the forest, naturally creating a darker area in some parts. Well, I was exploring a part of the forest I normally didn't go to, which was within these dogwood trees, and thought nothing of how unnaturally dark the canopy had gotten for the short amount of time I was there (maybe 15 minutes, but felt like longer). There was absolute silence other than my feet moving across dried leaves -- then I heard it. A voice with an airy, longing tone that said my name, as if it were the wind flowing through the top canopy. That was enough to drive chills up my spine instantly and I booked it straight back to my house, the sunshine pouring in stronger with each step, not looking back to question what said it. Still gives me chills writing it today.

This is really a great story! Neither of the main characters acted like an idiot, and there’s a happy ending that may lead to more. Thanks so much for narrating this.

Love this story. I hope there will be a follow up. In fact I want a follow up for all the stories 😂 They are all amazing. I like how we can see you in the newer episodes. It feels more personal. You have such a calming voice. Still helping me get enough sleep and I listen more than once in case I miss anything 🎉 Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Hey man, I just wanna say I've been loving watching the quality constantly improving since I found your videos. The way you do things really sets your content apart from all the other storytellers out there, keep up the fantastic work! 💖

My second of your stories and again I'm amazed. Even have a slight smile because of the fun I had listening. I've got so many questions about you and your stories, but I'll save them for another day.

I usually skip stories that have stuff about 'rules' in the title. So many times they're just lists of random arbitrary things with no explanation, just a bunch of stuff to fill time and sound spooky with vague-ness. I'm glad i gave this one a try though. The rules actually have a purpose to the story, they fit into the narrative and each is explained why you should actually follow it. This one was really enjoyable

I'm loving these videos! Thank you LH, its always nice seeing you narrate these awesome stories! 😊

Excellent story as usual- thanks Lighthouse for all the work that you put in for us to prepare these videos for us listeners

Anyone else stop listening to another narrator and click on lighthouse when the notification pops up?

Those woods are older than bone, and it's good to remember that. As long as you respect them though, you should be just fine.

Love your stories. I rarely comment (sorry 😔) but your one of the few I listen to on a regular basis since I found your channel. Please keep them coming. Your an excellent sorry teller who I recommend all the time. Have a great day everyone!

This is a great rules story. I loved it. And i loved the way you narrated it, LH. One of my favorite rules stories ever. ❤

Your flow of words is awesome I always thought I was weird falling asleep to scary stories but looking at these comments, make me feel kind of better. You are a better story teller than my grandma. There are wild, but at the same time very interesting you really have me on the edge of my seat of what’s gonna happen next love your channel.

I live IN and explore the Appalachians fulltime. The ending is very true. It's as strange/dangerous as it is beautiful, in almost equal measure.

Thank you and want to recognize the hard work that goes into being consistent…also I could see this being a series😊

Thank you for your narration of these stories, not exaggerated, respectfully told and no exaggerated change of scenary/creepy weird background music, which makes it a pleasure to listen to. Keep it up. These stories are such an eye opener, there's definitely more in these forrests/woods/trails that we know about. Always be careful out there stay safe everyone.

I really like how you present theses now. Such a change from other narrators keep up the great work my friend much love.

Woo Hoo! A new Lighthouse story. Love the tales you tell. Thank you soooo much

Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Btw, that BEER repellent @ 17:54 made me rewind twice 😂

Another amazing rule list story and that’s the first one I’ve ever heard that was in the wilderness. Great job I really appreciate your stories!!!

Is it breaking the “rules” that I smile when I see a new post from you. You are so talented , thank you for your work❤️

Yeah Lighthouse! 🤗 I get so Happy and hit play so fast when you upload! 🥰 I Love your way of Storytelling! 🤪 I don't have a Favorite Narrator, I have 3 and you are one of them! We need more Ghost Stories LH! Thanks for All you do for us!!! ✝️💜☮️👻👀

Based on the legends, this is near me. My fiance has seen Siren Head. My woods go quiet at night sometimes. I don't have the red eye thing near me. If I can get my physical problems under control I'd love to work for the several parks near me.

Thanks for your time and hardwork put into making these videos. Much appreciated. Helps get thru afternoon shift. Cheers!

Dude. I love this story and how it doesn't end with a sad or eerie end. Also, your sound effect mixing is great. Creeps me out like it should lol.

How to survive: Don’t go there in the first place.

A few years back, I was in the Ozarks in Arkansas trail riding with a friend. We were heading back to camp when we came onto a stretch of trail where, for 10 solid minutes, the woods fell still. There were no bugs, no birds, no animals, and possibly the creepiest part. There was no wind... my friend was in front of me, and neither of our horses were reacting and were calm as usual. We continued on until the silence finally broke and my friend hadn't said anything to me and to make sure it hadn't been all in my head I casually stated "Well, that was the creepiest 10 minutes of my life." My friend whipped around in her saddle to look back at me and said "Right!?" We still talk about it every now and then and still can't explain what we experienced

Another amazing addition!! I'm really loving the rules stories!!!!! They are my favorite kind!!!!!❤❤🥰🥰

From East Tennessee. Loved the addition of the Wampus cat. Took me back 30 years! Love all the tales. Thanks for telling them in such a fantastic manner.

Once hiking in Sweden, close to the Norwegian border, I ve heard a female laugh coming from the woods. It was off hiking season, there were no one in the trail and that laugh in the beginning was very inviting, but than it became so creepy that I just turned around and hiked to the nearest village and take the train back to Danmark.

The Application trail/mountains are a beautiful but strange place. Respect the mountains and they will respect you.

I didn't know the trail or Appalachian mountains had these creepy stories. Thank you for posting!

I truly love the way you tell the stories.... You voice and the way you change it when needed.... ❤ Keep ir up ...❤️

God love this man's voice an narrations the voices the passion I was in the middle of another live when this came out an I said byyeeeee cause no way I'm missing this or waiting lighthouse gang comes first.

Normally I don't care for forest stories but this one was unique

This is such a great twist on the ‘rules’ format of horror stories. You almost always hear the story from the new guy. This is the first time I’ve heard this format told from the perspective of the veteran who’s balancing the need to share the rules against the worry that sharing too much at once will be too much for the newbie

This is great! Your videos never miss, thanks for narrating. ❤
