When I'm out in the wilderness, I let nature tell me what's going on. At night, if the frogs and bugs get quiet, I know something is up.

A native American man I met in New Mexico once told me "never whistle at night, and never answer something that calls to you from the night unless it's someone you know" . Solid advice I've always followed. This had to have been terrifying.

That was a cobweb. I've been in the alarm biz for 27 years... definitely a cobweb

The scariest thing about being in a forest at night isn’t knowing you’re alone, it’s knowing you’re not.

Sleeping in a forest at night and waking up from a nightmare is like waking up from a nightmare in a nightmare

I had a friend who got lost in the woods & had to spend the night out there, alone. He would never say what happened, but said it was a life changing experience.

My Mom loved this series before she passed in January. She introduced me to you. Thanks for the amazing videos. 1984 - 2024 Rest in Peace. Morgan Rose Bishop.

I will never forget the advice: "The further away it sounds, the closer it is to you. Saying its name will draw it near." Our guts know man, there are things out there.

I’ve done a lot of hiking and camping in my youth. This one time I was sleeping under the stars, laying on my side when I heard like something walking up behind me. Now I’ve heard deer sound like people walking, this was similar but different. It kept getting closer yet I didn’t move. Then it touched my back still I didn’t panic, I slowly rolled back and found myself staring at a raccoon. After all that, heart racing, imagination running wild, and it was just a raccoon. It’s amazing how much certain sounds can make your imagination run wild.

Cmon ppl, this guy is a content creator. He roped us all into watching, nice work, I mean that. From the beginning I knew they were coyotes but I still had to watch. You’ve accomplished your mission

This dude has balls of steel to go out there in the haunted fields 💀

My husband and I live in the deep woods, completely surrounded by woods on all sides, and we've heard the exact same sound of coyotes howling and screaming from all around our house, some close and some just a little further away. There had to be hundreds of them without a doubt. We've also heard other terrifying sounds that we can't identify like a very deep, throaty grumble, almost a growl, but not like a bear or anything we've ever heard before. The best way we could describe it is when someone puts their open mouth on a microphone and breathes heavily into it. It has happened multiple times at night, and once during the middle of the day. Our dogs were completely terrified and ran to our front door scratching to get in. We fired a shot or two each time, and only once did it continue after we fired and sounded as if it were getting closer to us. Most people try to say it must've been a bear or a big cat, but we've heard those, too, and it's NOTHING like anything we've ever heard. My best advice is to stay locked and loaded and keep your pets inside, even during the day. Stay safe, my friend.

I heard some really crazy sounds coming from beyond my fence line one night, the next night I heard the same sounds, slightly louder this time. Armed with my flashlight I approached and found it to be two hedgehogs mating. They make some really freaky sounds when they're getting freaky.

As a Chinese, I was taught not to whistle at night because it will attract ghosts.

I was already dying laughing at 2 minutes in. Bro hears nature noises he doesn’t recognize and is like SkInWaLkEr

If it helps to calm your nerves, the figure in the backyard on camera was a spider web hanging over the camera lens. We get them almost nightly and set off our cameras sometimes every 60 seconds.

One night I was out walking my dog a mile or two from my neighborhood where there is a big empty field on either side of the road. The street lights were broken, so it was unusually dark. In the past I've seen a lot of wild animals like foxes, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and coyotes that wander around that area. Suddenly, I hear a horrific loud noise that sounded like fleshy parts flapping together, and then I smell this god-awful smell. Never smelled anything as bad as that in my life. I stood there in the darkness thinking what the hell was that? Then it hit me, my pug Winston had gotten into my brothers room and ate the rest of one of his chili burritos, and was flatulating like a monkey's racehorse. Damn, that was the scariest shit I've ever experienced in my life. I'm sure any skinwalkers in the area took one sniff of that and got the hell out of there. I had to extend his leash to the max and make him walk down wind from me, and I just barely made it home safely.

7:32 As far as Skinwalkers go, I’ve heard the LOUDER they are, the FURTHER they are and the QUIETER they are, the CLOSER they are. Keep that in mind and move ASAP! Don’t answer any doors for any unknown persons or things *EVER!!!* Good luck man. Wow.

“ Arrivederci” he said at one point, means goodbye in Italian, chills

The moment we need to panic is when the whole area goes silent, not even an insect noise that's when you really need to find a way out something or someone is out there and you are not alone..

As a Navajo, i appreciate our tribe being mentioned. My father told me never to whistle at night.

The most scared I've ever got in the woods was last year. Something was running up on me. Ended up being a deer that got just as scared as me.

Felt like I was watching part horror movie and part documentary. The video editing, the music you picked, the lighting, the sideways shots... phenomenal. I've had mystical experiences. Don't know if I've ever experienced a skin walker; but don't know how I'd tell, either. Heard raccoons make really strange noises; and crows are known to have many vocal ranges or ways that they verbally communicate. It's possible that many of us have entertained these things unawares. Thanks for sharing and having the courage to seek this mystery out. Much respect. I'll be watching the second video you filmed about this. I subscribed, as well.

I love how he's gonna take on a skinwalker with bear spray, but really has a problem with spiders. Good on ya mate!

skinwalker: "Bark, bark" him: "woof, woof" skinwalker: "and i took that personally"

Ahh yes. The old "golf cart as a birthday gift for my young child who's not even old enough to know what a golf cart is" tactic 🤙🏽

God damn, that's how modern horror movies should be made like! These BS movies ain't frightening me in any way anymore, always the same snooze mode, but YOU sir nailed it! Chapeau!

As someone who grew up in a Navajo family, I grew up hearing the stories about the skinwalker. you have some huge balls to be able to go out there for the night alone good job bro.

I lived on an island in the middle of a river, homeless, for 4-5 years. I learned the best way for your eyes to adjust at night is to not use artificial light as the sun is setting . You can see a lot better at night when you allow your eyes to adjust with the setting sun.

Thank you. I've been hearing about these Skinwalkers so much in the youtube videos I watch, but didn't really know what they were so I appreciate the explanation in this video.

At 21:00 minute mark you can literally hear something walking through the grass. So scary to fight forces you can’t see.

If you're outside at night and you hear something barking like a dog, but you don't believe it's really a dog, the best thing to do is go inside. It could actually be the worst thing on this planet, a human, messing with you before they do something bad

Always check your surroundings in the day, never call back to something coming from deep in a dark forest *that leads the creature to you* , never investigate creepy noises, and LORD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO IN THE FOREST AT NIGHT ALONE Edit: Don’t go unarmed without any self defense stuff or a flashlight, in case of poison ivy or snakes, also tysm for the likes I never got this much!

the fact that your puppy didnt bark back tells the story

the skinwalker was like: “Bro, let me scare you! Wake up! *HOWLS*“

I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of what's in it

This makes me realize Vladd would make a great narrator for true crime, supernatural and horror stories.

The end made me tear up back. It was in so much pain.

People when they hear animal noises: GUYS ITS A SKINWALKER

It's been my experience, the normal nature/woods sounds are a good thing...it's when you stop hearing frogs, crickets etc all at once, and for no reason. Just a piece of advice to hopefully keep yoir mind at ease out there

I love how you're out hunting a skinwalker and you're scared of the spiders by the tree 💀

So cool! Im grateful for my hearing.

I keep hearing as if someone is walking a lil bit before you feel asleep and was awakened by an owl sound. Spokey

Don’t forget at Skinwalker ranch the ranch owner shot the skinwalker that shape-shifted into a large wolf several times with a rifle but the “wolf” didn’t even flinch. Bear spray definitely won’t work lol.

This is how I felt as a kid growing up on 8 acres in a 1 red light town. The woods are definitely alive & you are not alone in them

“Yah-nah-go-she” I’m half Navajo and i was always told never to whistle at night or talk about them. It’s say that it brings unwanted attention. I have a few stories from all sides of family that have had weird encounters. Creepy stuff for sure but everything you have shared I’ve also heard from one of my elders. Great research!

Ohh wow that's crazy and scary. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Mr. Vlad, 63 year old Texan here grew up in the woods. It wouldn't matter if 20 coyotes were around you they would not bother you, they might if in dire hunger attack a child. But grown adults, just wouldn't happen. The difference and SC ENT will keep them away from you. They are familiar with camping humans and food refuse, so they might Circle curiously scenting for human food. That is all they would be interested in. With no food sent in the area they would quietly move on. Which brings me to the second point, coyotes are really stealthy and silent. They would not spend time shuffling around in corn stalks. Not in complete darkness they would wait for the Twilight of early morning or early evening to combine their their sense of smell hearing and sight to stir up mice or rats. In the dead of night you would not hear coyotes, not shuffling through corn stalks. Now depending on how close you were to these corn stalks it could be large rats, they would definitely be shuffling around. Of course I wasn't there so you must determine this on your own. Also I would get across to wear around your neck, I am not a religious man I am a spiritual man, big difference but the power of the Cross is guaranteed LOL I'll wait another video. I checked out your other channel but I'm just not into video games. You seem like a good man. If indeed this does escalate do not allow your young children out at night!! Portals for some reason are opening at this time worldwide, not to mention UFOs circling the earth like flocks of birds the Sasquatch of the woods are making contact with thousands of humans at this time. I know this sounds strange but true, I am Cherokee and Creek mixed-blood. With an open mind and spiritual awareness with the Earth Mother, these are all connected beyond our government suppressed understanding. Be careful

Lol! Cobweb in the light of the security camera

Amazing video. Great cinematography, compelling story, had be on the edge of my seat.

Actually, the BEST piece of equipment that anyone can carry on them at all times is a camera phone, cause everybody knows that the cameraman. NEVER. DIES.

Soooo terrified that he didn’t immediately close his garage door when he returned home. Anyone here who has truly experienced being terrified, you know what I’m talking about. You couldn’t get that garage door closed fast enough!

"Dude, my phone vibrated"😂😅 ~Immediately regrets playing too many video games~. Lol this was funny as hell

Wow, you are a genius, this was intense, well done

One night, I was SURE a large human or something bigger was walking through the woods behind my house in Florida, there was a canal across the street with gators in it, so I was extra careful. When it finally got to me, it was a normal sized turtle about 1 foot wide, making *all that noise!* 😂

As a Native American who has spent far too much time in the woods you just can’t imagine the sounds some animals make if you aren’t used to going out at night in the woods. There are Owls that literally make monkey noises. 🤷🏼‍♂️

City dude not used to night sounds 😂

man if ur scared of sitting in a field next to a neighborhood definitely don’t try solo hiking for several days in the Rockies… heard some crazy things outside the tent but never had the gall to check em out! good video!

This reminds me of one night when I was 16. Two friends and I drove to the local swimming hole after dark to drink beer. The place is pretty with tall mountains on either side of the creek and we’d sometimes build a fire and play the car radio . This night we sat on the hood talking and drinking beer the crickets and frogs were singing and we were having a good time. Suddenly everything fell silent. Totally silent and I got a horrible feeling of something staring at us from up the mountain. I heard a heavy thud like a footstep and I said. “Guys, we need to get in the car and get out of here NOW! We piled in the car in a panic and peeled out of there fast. I grew up in the woods and never had that feeling of something bad about to get me before. To top it off, when we got home , my friends dog got in the car howling and wouldn’t get out. He sensed out fear I guess. I don’t know what or who was up there but I have a hunch it was dangerous

29:42 *THAT* scared the *SHIT* out of me!! My heart skipped a beat! What in the hell!!!?!?!! 😟🫣

Remember that sometimes you don't have autophobia, sometimes..... you're scared of feeling like you're not

The noises in the beginning sound like fox mating calls to me. That may be why it was also in two different locations so quickly, because there were actually two foxes calling back and forth. The second sound also sounds like foxes when they are playing with one another, so it could just be foxes around your property

I used to go jogging in the mornings around 4 am before school and part of my route went along the woods(nobody lives past that point, it's just dense forest). I hear what sounded like a girl laughing at me, but it came directly from the woods and sounded close, maybe 10-20 feet away. I heard it clear as day so I glanced over and saw nothing but darkness. I'm pretty sure I broke the world record for fastest mile that night.

You said it best the more u look into it the worse it gets. Becareful what your looking for .

18:50 "I've played too many damn video games man" LOL for real! I would have the same kind of crazy thoughts myself, you acted brave af!

I live in an area with a lot of coyote activity and what you heard was coyotes; they mimic the sounds of the prey they stalk, including the barking of dogs, bird sounds, etc. and also make horrible sounds that mimic the sounds their prey make when being attacked/torn apart. They've even been known to imitate the sounds of crying babies. Their calls are LOUD and can sound like they're moving quickly when a call/response chain occurs between two or more of them across a distance.

Never interact with random and or strange sounds in the dark, especially in the woods. Never engage a SW. Never play their games. It's absolutely sounds stupid to some people, but for us native Indian tribes and even those who AREN'T!...Never welcome that presence into your life or surrounding homes. I know it's tempting AND fascinating, but don't play that game with them.

Their dog was cowering behind them for protection if they had noticed. Smart dog. i'd be lighting up the backyard like a stadium.

I’d be more afraid of the spiders crawling than the skin walkers. 🤣🙌🏻

Weird tip for if you’re in a dangerous situation with a wild animal: many wild animals will scare off pretty easily if you throw any object at them, except apes and monkeys I guess, because any animal that can’t pick up objects can’t throw objects/manipulate their environment in that way, so it’ll probably be the first time they’ve ever seen any creature launch anything at them and hopefully they’ll be terrified and their flight response will be activated because they won’t know how to use their fight response.

I grew up in the woods of central Alabama. It's natural for people to be a little afraid of being in woods at night. Once I realized I was the most dangerous thing out there, no more fear.

Half those noises that sound like yowling or laughing are so clearly coyotes its hilarious.

Hahaha I love it. All of it, we hear up here in Canada on a daily basis. Glad you fell in love with the outdoors. Cheers!

Last year i was hunting deer alone in a ground blind by myself as ive done a hundred times. I fell asleep and i woke up to this feeling of something breathing in my ear. I looked out into the woods and saw a lone coyote. I felt that it was a sign for me to never let my guard down and never think I’m alone in the woods.

After living in a haunted house for a year, I've learned that unidentified noises are far too intriguing. I would venture into the dark to find out what the noise is. sense of curiosity is greater than my fear when it comes to that

The “deeper you go, the worse it gets” because you’re drawing it in. And by the way, birds begin acting weird when spirits are around AND birds can mimic all kinds of sounds: crying babies, barking, meowing, clicking squirrels sounds… it’s incredible how well birds can mimic sounds. Birds will begin mimicking odd sounds when strange spirits are around. Over time, the coyotes, skunks, raccoons, even dear and the surrounding animals will start freaking out because the birds are freaking out. Strange spirits use animals to confuse people.

Sounds like an owl. I studied owls. Each species has its own call. Some of them sound pretty creepy. I worked for the forest service in Utah. But who knows. It could be something else. Just listen to your instincts regarding everything in your life. There are things we know about and things we dont and maybe never will. Just, again, listen to your instincts. They are right. And if people call you crazy, and some will, dont let it get to you. As i have gotten older, I have opened my eyes and mind and things are happening all around us all the time. Some things are malevolent, some not. Just keep looking. Be safe and enjoy the beauty and joy that is in life. There cannot be darkness without light.

I’m 32 years old and love to hunt. I often walk deep into the woods with just a compound bow and a knife in the dark to get to the stand. I still get that “feeling” every once in a while that I’m not alone, and I wanna piss down my leg. 😂

I’m a 67 y/o female and live in a 3000sq ft haunted house on 20 acres out in the country alone. I’m a retired nurse who worked mostly nights and usually don’t go to bed until after 3 AM. I’ve always liked being awake at night even as a child. I often am outside in the middle of the night and the scariest to me is being in one of the barns or work shop. The work shop is a few acres from my house between a pond and the bayou. When I’m in there I usually have the big doors open, if I hear something outside when I’m in their I’m scared sh-less to look up at that open area. I hear coyotes all the time but, a couple of years ago I heard something that sounded like a woman being tortured, right across my fence line in some trees. My dogs were even scared, I couldn’t breathe I was so scared, and I had a pocket cannon. I ran not walked home, shop open lights on, doors open. I’ve heard it one other time in the same area. I don’t know what that was and if I never hear it again, that good with me.

14:01 Dude’s out in the woods/fields on a mission to find a Skinwalker or two, or three…. Or 10 lol and he’s worried about spiders 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I once howled back at wolves. They answered back. I ran petrified back home! 🏃‍♀️

Him: "There's something walking..." The rabbit approaching: "Yo why is this dude sleeping out here"

Back in the 90s we broke down up in the woods once at night about 6 miles off the mountain road. Had to walk out. Pitch black, thick woods either side. We could here these creatures coming up along both sides just off the road in the darkness. They were close but we couldn't see them. We went from walking to jogging which triggered them to start keeping pace. They were starting to crash through the brush and they doubled to like 8 or10. After about a mile or two I said fuk it and slowed down then stopped, pull my nine out shot through the woods twice. They were coyotes. They scattered and ran away but it still rattled me just because how soon they found us when we left the truck. Thanks for reading.

“ I didn’t want to have to use my headlamp… But I just had to” lol What would have happened had you not used your headlamp???

Having nyctophobia, the part where he is in the dark alone gave me severe anxiety.

Strange things happen in the woods man. I've had weird stuff happen to me. When out hunting at dusk I heard footsteps from a dog come up to my ground blind. I assumed it was a Coyote bc I heard sniffing right outside the blind but as soon as I released the safety of my crossbow and started to turn that animal started to growl. It was a crazy deep growl that was like a Lion or large cat. It was just really deep and powerful. I was filled with fear and I started to pray. As soon as I called on Jesus the growling stopped and I heard footsteps walking away. I looked out the mesh of the ground blind to see what it was but all I saw was leaves moving on the forest floor. I could see it's footsteps but not the creature. It was on 4 legs and walked away quickly. There was no wind and the sound of footfalls matched the leaves being disturbed. I waited about 5 minutes and dark was coming on quick but my truck was only about 100 yards away. I slowly unzipped the blind and ran AS FAST AS I COULD to my truck. As soon as I slammed the door shut I locked the door, thanked God and sped out of that area as fast as I could safely. I have not been hunting since. This was about 10 years ago in Ohio. Strange things are out there folks, be safe.

I've been in the fields when it was pitch dark. I thought I was brave until I saw a shadowy sheep's face. Literally looked like Satan appeared from nowhere. But in the day they look so cute.

This guy's a great story teller.. "i lay low for a month" 😂😂. Clearly a cobweb!

Just want to say this was an amazing video! I’m in to interesting documentaries in any topic & this was very interesting. Your story telling is insane! I’ve lived in the Texas country side for a few years and boy let me tell you. It’s some weird stuff on them county roads. people don’t be out late at night because strange things go on and no one talks about it often because you’ll seem “crazy”. Great video 💗

One night I was outside walking my dog and suddenly the atmosphere around me became eerie and quite. That was when I smelt this scent of death along with clicking sounds as if someone were clicking their tongue at me. It was freaky. To say the least, I rushed my dog in that night and locked every possible entrance/exit.

There's no such thing as being alone, there is ALWAYS something with you, no matter where you are

He thought there was a Skinwalker in his backyard, and what did he do? He went after the thing! "The only thing you have to fear is fear itself, and skinwalkers".

23:46 proceeds to jump on an e-bike and rides at night, then proclaims “it just got cold… like real cold.” Lol come on man.

It's wild how worked up your mind can get just sitting in the dark alone outside or inside. It definitely can play some serious tricks on you especially in a situation like that with your senses really heightened. Your a braver man than I

I seriously can't even imagine how much work it takes to make a video like this. Keep it up Vladd, you're awesome.

just some coyotes. I’ll admit they can sound fucking terrifying at night, but they generally aren’t a threat to humans as long as you keep a safe distance. My dad once told me that “you’re safe as long as you stay twice as many yards away from them as there are cyotes in the pack” (probably because they’re more aggressive in large numbers)

Seeing the eye reflection when you turned the camera back to you around 22min was instant oh shit moment

I grew up in a cabin in the woods, the land surrounding my home was owned by the state as a wildlife preserve. I have several scary stories from that time as the woods around the house where very haunted or something was living in them. Two of them stick out to me from hearing your story. The first is a story of the time I snuck out with two friends to try and hold a bonfire in the back yard. We managed to make it out the backdoor and into the side woods headed towards a clearing I had gone towards many time in the day time but this time although it was pitch black I wasn't afraid until I hit the tree line. This time even with my two friends behind me I felt appressed and like something was watching me. At night the forest around my house was usually brimming with activity, bugs, crickets the forest was usually in a racket but it was almost the first night I didn't hear anything and I knew something wasn't right. I didn't hear any crickets, bugs, owls or anything it was pitch black and there was no sound except the sound of our feet. we stopped to listen and heard a crunch behind us so we ran back to my house. It is when the forest is quiet that somethings wrong. The second story I hadn't left my house. I was gaming alone in my computer room and my parents where in the living room when it happened. I was sitting there minding my own business when not just me but my whole family completely on the other side of the house heard a horrific scream. It was like nothing any of us had every heard from the forest and I was in college at the time having grown up in the house. It was so loud I thought the house shook. I could also tell it was right outside the window without blinds on the first floor where I was gaming. I ran into the living room sprinted for my life and asked my parents if they had heard that because I didn't believe what I had heard. They told me they had and they had never heard anything like it either. The months after I obsessed with it. I listened to audio recordings of every animal, foxes, coyote racoons and cats fighting, everything. Nothing has even been close. Two important things to know about living out in the country. When you can't hear animals or crickets at night don't go out. Potty training a puppy be damned. Secondly do not go investigating strange noises no matter how much you want to. Invest in good blinds and curtains to keep what's outside from looking at you. Even if the paranormal isn't real and there is a good explanation for everything - who knows maybe a lion or bob cat escaped my local zoo though it didn't sound like that either- it's better to be safe than sorry.

I couldn't help but imagine Vlad sitting in the tree scared af, like "I hear something coming towards me". Turns on his flashlight and sees a walker just cruising by on his electric bike. 😄
