I worked in an underground mine (copper/gold, not a miner but as geologist). Only took me 8 mo to apply to another job that was a surface operation. There's always noises, creaks and groans from the rock - when you turn off your headlamp in an area without lights strung up, its unsettling. It's not even that its underground or anything - what got me was the sense that when something went wrong, it would go very wrong, and you've got to put a lot of faith in guys who are driven by production/output premiums (miners get bonuses when their heading/stope exceeds targets - greed surpasses safety).

Welcome back Fooster!

10 yrs plus in coal mines here. It’s a shaft mine with elevators. Straight down. Then you got Slope mines which you go down a slope. Then my fav Drift mine. Go into side of mountain. A lot easier to get out if in trouble.

Having worked in the mining industry for over 20years now, I can tell u that u hear a lot of weird stories of events that people have seen, and have seen yourself. Like the other comment said, in a silent dark area your mind makes up a lot of weird things. Ventilation tends to sound like voices, as one example..

Working in a mine in Australia, even mines that are currently occupied have some real weird noises sometimes. When you're in an area of the mine on your own, the brain likes to make all sorts of weird shapes and noises due to the kind of darkness that eyes can never adjust to. Freaked myself out once when I saw the shadow of what looked like a person on the wall but it was just the top of the LV's snorkel with its tubing connecting to the vehicle.

FOOSTER, it’s great to see u back in making videos, hope u weren’t too bad in ur time through covid and we’ve all missed you

Its great to see you back! I hope your feeling better! Also the guy standing there at 32:30 is how I stand when I'm caught raiding the fridge at 2 am

My father was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. He had some terrifying stories about that. Look it up Fooster, those guys were beasts. I miss him everyday.

That movie with Jensen Ackles is "My Bloody Valentine" and it is the first thing I thought of when you were exploring. That scene where Jensen is walking along smashing the lights still gives me the chills. Thanks for the scares and playing this game so I don't have to :)

As someone who has grown up not far from a town (underground) that is literally on fire due to coal mines, I can agree that abandoned mine exploring is dangerous business. The bird you were talking about at the beginning is a canary; they were often used as a way to determine whether or not it was safe to go down a passage. If the canary didn't return, the miners knew that it wasn't safe.

i love how far you have come, seeing your channel grow in all these years from the first The Forrest game just makes me very happy for you. Great work man.

I don't know what's funnier: "Hello? Any spirits in here, I don't mean disrespect." or picking up a newspaper, reading it hearing a noise and "OH MY FUCKIN!" 😆

You’re the best Fooster. I watch several other gaming channels but you’re simply the best. Your commentary and humor in comparison to others I watch is unmatched. I love how you never let it slip in your mind that people are watching you play and will explore all the little details on the games that make them unique.

Truly one of the only channels that I am excited for when he uploads. I know Fooster was fighting Covid and glad he’s back to better health, but man did I need this. Been fighting the flu since last Sunday and I know this will help take my mind off of this crap. Thanks Fooster

The heavy breathing you heard was a creepy in the elevator at 24:41 50:47 The guy who makes those mine exploration videos has already been caught faking the ghost stuff (not that anyone should need the evidence to know that ghosts aren't real, but still). 1:04:55 Best scare of the game right here.

I just wanted to say I have had a very trying 2023 sometimes putting me in a very bad place emotionally-mentally. All I had to do, though, was watch some Fooster to hear that laugh or giggle, and my day got a bit brighter. Thanks for what you do. I'm so happy your channel, and you are doing well.

Here's to a speedy recovery Fooster, I have nothing but respect for your commitment even during illness. In a community of "horror gamers" I find your reactions so much more entertaining than brainless screaming, your fear and anxiety carries so well and it's fun joining you in your adventures, even the co-op light hearted stuff. Really happy I found your content and channel.

@50:05 Glad you’re feeling better, it’s good to have you back! I think I know which KZfaqr you’re talking about. His channel is called “Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places.” The video with the swinging chain is one of two he has about the Horton Mine. He has another creepy mine video called, “Creepy Sounds Captured in an Abandoned Mine While Reviewing the ThruNite TN12 Flashlight.” He’s also very knowledgeable about mines and often finds really cool antiques in them. My grandpa was a coal miner and from my understanding, it’s not necessarily uncommon for weird or creepy stuff to happen in mines. Miners also have their own little superstition called “tommyknockers,” and it’s believed by some that they’re the ghosts of dead miners who warn the living miners of injury, death, or collapse.

Welcome back and I hope that you are continuing getting better and stronger. They use to use canaries for poison gasses in mines. Mines are ridiculously dangerous once closed down. There's a reason why they flood mines where they can as it's increasingly difficult to keep people out of them. Even with that, they've had to install metal grates to keep divers out because hypothermia and render them in some serious trouble if they aren't experienced or they get stuck in an area that hadn't been mapped or was common to have rock collapses. Connecticut they had aggressively welded grates around openings to underground mines one to protect people but in some cases to prevent people coming into contact with bears, bats, wild dogs and poison snakes.Lake Peigneur in Louisiana had an active salt mine below it until Texaco drilled some pilot holes for oil but got the coordinates wrong and ended up drilling into the ceiling of one of the mine's shafts and drained the lake into the mine which obviously dissolved the salt, luckily no one got hurt because of great safety drills. The mine is Centralia PA is so famous because there is a historic hundred year fire burning through veins of anthracite coal which is now looking more like 250 year fire. There's just simply not enough ways or resources to contain the fire so it just burns on unchallenged. Look at the byproducts of old mining through the centuries and all the retaining ponds or waste pulled out of the minds that are highly toxic now extremely corrosive basically cancer pits at best. I believe in Greece or Italy there were a number of retainment ponds that had collapsed and killed hundreds of people because the ponds were not designed to be a long-term solution and were never addressed and that isn't even taking into account how that is still happening in Europe, Africa, South America, Central America and Asia. If it's happening in the US it's either being covered up or super funded out to try and fix the damage.

Welcome back, legend! I'm glad you're feeling better! And I hope you have a full recovery soon!

Glad to see you back, Fooster! Awesome to know you're also feeling better. I also got sick recently and idk if it's Covid but I'm sure a lot of people got hit hard too. Stay safe and healthy out there, everyone ❤

Fooster talks to himself like most people do when they watch a horror film lol "oh no! don't turn around! oh God I'm turning around!!!!" always great commentary Fooster, love your videos.

1:04:00 | 1:33:42 love you coaching us through the potential scary moments. like, I get that it's just as much for you, but it's like you're holding our hand in these stress-riddled scenes bc you know your audience, you know some of us be a wee bit loose in the socks but can't get enough of your content. ummphf, thank you and glad you're feeling better!

I genuinely smiled when I saw this pop up. Glad you're feeling better, Fooster.

The amount of times I nearly FLUNG my drink, phone or pillow at the jump scares is way too high! Great atmosphere and scares in this game and I love your narration!

Fooster, I'm glad you're recovering! You always sound so happy and excited during your videos and it brightens my day 👍

Great to have you back Fooster! As for the box in the upper part of the building, 26 minutes in, it looks like the box you messed with in mist survival, it also looks like the boxes you and Fisk destroy in Entities

it been rought start with my wife mom passing last Monday due to Malpractice. Internal GI bleed and they sent her back home sedative. Im so glad for new video. I been stressful this week and finally something to look forward to watch.

SO soso happy you're back and feeling better Fooster, you've been missed ❤

Canaries are the birds you're thinking of, primarily in coal mines for Carbon Monoxide detection. There were a lot of strangely effective safety measures, so a major incident was usually on the more rare side in the modern era.

Our hero emerges from the deep dark after a harrowing experience, committed to telling the story of those miners in vivid detail... and then he remembers he took ZERO photos 😂

So glad to see you return Fooster and hope you're feeling so much better, we've missed you. Happy New Year to you and the ever cute Bruno 😃💚

So good to see you back! Hope you are recovering well! Here in the deserts of Arizona, U.S.A we have a lot of abandoned mines such as mica which was mined during WWII for circut boards. You can explore them but they are very fragile and not up to code haha.

That guy who investigated the old haunted mine should have been payed in between to $150M-$200M, doing that alone he gotta get that bag because I'm not doing that myself 😂

Thank god you’re back in the game Fooster, you’re a legend. Love your vids, keep up the good work brother. Good thing you’re healthy now, keep it up brother. Just found your channel last month and I’m mad that I found it so late. Good vids, good games, good content. I’ve basically binged watched all your vids already.

Welcome back Fooster! You definitely have been missed!

Welcome back Fooster! We’re so happy to have you back. Your health is the most important to us, so it was hard not to be selfish of us wanting you back sooner! Lol Looking forward to all your videos, glad you’re feeling better. Hope your holidays were happy ☺️♥️♥️

My wife's family has partial ownership of a gold mine. It's not a big mine, they don't pull a lot of gold out, but they still get some. And they let owners tour the place, which is what we did one year. It was fascinating, and kind of haunting. It was dark of course, and cool. Not cold, just cool. Even though it was summer outside. The ceiling was very low in places, and we had to crawl down and up an incline with only a rope set in supports on the side to help us. It did not effect me the way I thought it would. I didn't grow panicky, or think about the weight of stone above me. I just remember thinking about how still it was. Still, cold, and close. Now, water on the other hand is another thing entirely. Sitting in a boat, and thinking how high I am above the "ground", even though I know I would float. It's eerie and uncomfortable. Clearly, I don't like the water. It's always moving and it's barely there, but at the same time it can drown you.

Thank you for that intro. Got me in my feels. I'm super glad you're feeling better. You definitely sound like you're stoked to be back up and making videos again.

WELCOME BACK Fooster. We missed you. So glad you're feeling better.

Glad to see you're up to playing again, Foo. It's been quiet without you! But recovery is priority. Despite it all, I hope your holidays were lovely! And back to it with an almost 2 hour video!? Diving back into the deep end, hard! Don't push yourself too hard, though. The 'Rona can be right proper wicked.

The " I am still a little bit sick... take it easy please." Followed by the huge howl of wind told me exactly how this was going to go. Love you Fooster, so good to hear you up on your feet again!

Fooster!!! Ive missed your vids, glad youre on the up and up! My Dad was a coal miner then worked his way up to being VP. He's been in the industry 45+yrs and yes, the Coal Miners Prayer is a real thing as he has it hung in his office and even has it memorized. Being a Coal miners daughter is something I'm very proud of and have had the cool experiences of going inside many. Thanks for the video and keep it up! Much support from Nashville TN!❤

Happy to see you back Fooster! I'm glad you're feeling well again. Happy New Year to you and Bruno. 🙂

Fooster!!!! So glad to see you back! We missed your videos a ton, cannot say enough about the benefit they have on my mental health! Thinking about you and hoping you start feeling better into 2024! See you… in the next one 🤘🏼

This man out here giving Marvel length content with better quality. Thank you sir

That movie is called My Bloody Valentine. This game made me jump so much. My adrenaline is always racing when you do these games. Ones with Fisk and Taco leave my ribs hurting with the laughing I do watching the chaos.

Fooster is the only one keeping me sane during my Covid sick days right now. Dude I honestly love your vids and your funny conversations with your friends. Glad you’re back!

Glad you're feeling better Fooster! Happy new year to you and Bruno 😊

Yay, Fooster is back, and I hope you feel better and stuff goes well for you this year. You are an amazing KZfaqr, and honestly, your videos have helped through my bad days, and I have waited patiently for you to return. I'm glad you are back truly and can't wait for what you have in store for content

Man what a treat to see a new Fooster video! Glad you're back and hope you're feeling better. You were in all our thoughts. COVID still isn't something to play with and I'm happy to see you handled it well

Decided to watch this at midnight, got to 18:50 and something slid off a shelf in my room with a thud, think I'll try again tomorrow.

Foster, it's so great to see you back and feeling better. I think I jumped every time you did LOL. I really appreciate you taking the time to give us a new video. It takes a lot of work. I have to say that the way you talk us through the adventure, it makes me feel like I am there along with you. Thank you, and I hope you are completely well soon. Hope 2024 is an awesome year for you.😊❤❤🎉

Tip for you fooster; and anyone wanting to play the game: *Geiger counter kicks off everytime ghosts and anomalies ARE ABOUT TO SHOW UP in vicinity.* Spares y'all the jumpscares And also, that dang flashlight is freaking bright; you can't see what you pointing on

Welcome back Fooster! Yo from when your video just popped up on my feed and I watched it, I was so into it that I went to your channel and watched some of your solo and multiplayer videos and man I was hooked, I started watching all your latest uploads and was so keen on watching the new video! Love your videos!

I hope you get to feeling better, or at least as close to 100% as you can get. I always look foward to your video, they always make me laugh and just a joy to watch all around! Thank you for all time you put in for us!

Im so glad youre feeling well again fooster! We were worried about you. Its great to see you back! (Especially playing another horror game!)😁

i cant stop laughing! The thought of Fooster passing out, his head hitting the desk with a thump! And he waking up and his teeth have been replaced by the keys from the keyboard!

Oh my goodness, I think I held my breath through 95% of that whole thing. Great experience though. Thanks for going through that so we could enjoy it with you.

Love the videos as always! Small note for the developer or whoever wrote the description there that the 1900s is the 20th century, not the 19th century. Just wanted to point that out!

It's okay guys the Dogo is just fine he was sleeping and the birds were just keeping him company.

It took me 5 breaks to finish this video, glad to hear your feeling better Fooster

So glad you’re back and feeling better. Love your content. Every video makes my day that much better, keep up the great job.

Absolutely love these couple hour ventures. Makes for great background watch while doing my weekend chores 😊

The GOAT is back!! Glad to see you’re recovered Fooster 😁

Fooster. Why. WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE THIS VIDEO TO CLEAR THE SINUSES. Oh my soul, I am literally watching this through my fingers. One of my favourite parts is when you touch the radio and the hanging miners appear...then you go back to the office door and say "Can we go in now?" 🤣

So grateful for you fooster you're the best. Hope all is well and your family is prospering!

Good to have you back Fooster! This game was everything I though it would be, I was screaming right there with you 😂 Glad you are feeling better!

good you're feeling better Fooster, I wish you all the good health as well! even if ur struggling ur still uploading and keeping us entertained!! I love your vids so much. especially how your videos are also always so long!! you put so much effort in

Very cool. The amount of detail you put in yourr videos make all the difference. The echo effects complete the experience and most probably dont realize it. You bring us THERE with those little details. Awesome!

I'm glad you're feeling better my guy, I wish you all the good health as well! Also, you'd think these psychopaths that like going by themselves into these situations would decide to team up by now 🤣

Good story. I always enjoy following the Lore in games. Few good jump scares, too. The video link of that Explorer in the mine with the swinging chain, I've seen that one before too, pretty creepy. There are quite a few good mine exploring videos online, There is an older video, pretty sure it was based in russia, about a gentleman who walks to the edge of a vertical mine shaft, And as he looks down, there is an entity inside the shaft that looks up at him with glowing eyes, Something is looking back at him and it's pretty creepy. There is also another one Of another Explorer that goes nearly 300 feet down into an abandoned mine, And as he is walking and talking to the camera, All of a sudden there is a disembodied scream/screech from something even deeper down in the mine, I swear this explorer absolutely wet himself, and he froze under pure fear. Whatever it was, It did not sound natural or like any animal. I don't have a fear of exploring abandoned or haunted places, And I love the idea of anything monster, creature, alien or paranormal related, but I always have some very basic rules in place when doing so; 1. Never explore alone, Always have a buddy system in place because you never know what you're going to run into. 2. Always bring adequate lighting, don't ever bring a cheap flashlight, bring a powerful flashlight and spares. 3. If you re going to record, Cameras front and back, Capture every angle. 4. Bring something to defend yourself, You would rather have something and not need it, than need it and not have it. Now having said all that, I would never explore an abandoned mine; Not because of what I might find, But purely because of the instability of an abandoned mine. In early 2008, I and a couple of my friends explored an old cave system in New zealand when I still lived there, We saw colonies of an insect called the 'Giant Weta', Think of it like an underground cricket the size of a clenched fist, (should google that) nasty looking things. But although they did not scare us too much, It was the constant falling of dust from the ceilings, and bits of mud falling down the wall that scared us the most, It just showed us how unstable everything was. We stopped talking as we slowly moved through the rest of the cave system. I swear I could hear my heart beat out of my chest, Thinking that was even too loud. I was only eighteen back then, but the fear of collapse of the cave was enough to stop me from exploring any other mines and caves since.

Good to see you back. Great stuff. My son visited Australia and went down into a copper mine I believe it was. Not deep enough for him, but he loved every minute off it. I would guess because the lights worked the whole time. I've been underground and turned light off on purpose. Not something I would want to experience when not by choice.

Glad your on the mend Fooster. Your content is always great but I think a face cam in the corner would make your horror vids even better.

Is the game actually set in the late 19th century or just in a mine from the 19th century? The car driving, office setup, and other modern amenities had me questioning that opening description of the game. Glad your health is improving and you're back in the game.

Happy New Year and glad you are feeling better, thanks for all your work to bring us entertaining videos like this, your audio is easy to listen to!

Fooster, you never fail to provide the greatest entertainment! Stay gold pony boy, love from Canada and here's to 2024!

For what its worth, when i received my first diagnosis of COVID, it really wasnt that bad. Felt a bit like a cold, had a fever and some chills but overall, it was maby 2-3 days of feeling crappy then back to normal. The strange thing was that instead of loss in smell or taste, i actually had numbness in my fingertips, and not just one but all of them. It was very strange, but alas, thats not where the story ends. This is probably the most important part, in case anyone else hasnt had a similar experience previously. Long COVID is extremely real, and something i hope everyone does their best to avoid any way possible. I was once a commercial electrician, my dream job, 2 years in and primed to get my license until i got COVID. Once i returned to work, it became increasingly difficult to breathe. Even just walking up a small staircase of 6-8 stairs was extremely unbearable, and as such i was terminated from my position due to lack of performance. I have yet to recover enough to go back, and i miss it every day. So please everyone, so ur part in any way u can to reduce the possibility/risk of infection. Sorry for the long-winded story, but i felt it was important to share. Stay safe everyone, and Foster, so glad to see ur return and the great news of ur recovery. I hope nothing but the best for u in 2024, as well as anyone still reading this far. Love u all

Oh bro I saw that mine explorers video you’re talking about!! There’s a few videos of old mines on KZfaq that are super creepy, I’m only halfway through this play through but wanted to comment on that. Loving it so far!

Fooster, the bird you're thinking of is a canary, they were used because they were *very* sensitive to carbon monoxide, exhibiting extreme distress shortly after being exposed to the toxic gas, Often this was plenty of early warning to get miners up and away from an area filled with Carbon Monoxide. also, 24:41, Theres a figure standing in the blue elevator, I don't believe you saw them, but they seem to have been the source of the breathing.

I HAD A BABY BOY BORN ON CHRISTMAS!!!! also, 2024 is going to be horrible. Please prepare everyone.

Fooster, THANK YOU, your amazing. Glad to have you back and hope you've had a great christmas and new year! I wish you the best of health too and just all the best in general! Love the horror videos! Thank you for making life so much better! Big thank you from Denmark you are really making a big difference for me and I can't thank you enough! Keep up the awesome work!

Hey foost. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make. They make my day when you upload. And I pretty much binge watch previous vids of yours. But I'm curious to what your plans are for mist.

It's good to have you back finally! I'm currently sick as well, so I feel you with the whole sinus thing, it's awful lol. Honestly surprised at the level of detail that went into this. I mean, sure, it's just a walking sim, but they put a lot of effort into it imo. The story was rather tragic and I Was honestly expecting it to be more grounded in reality in regards to what actually happened. I was thinking more along the lines of some kind of spores or something that made them act the way they did, or just the general claustrophobia of being down there got to them.

I can't even describe the joy this channel brings me. Fooster, you're such a genuinely kind and amazing person! I hope you have a great year ahead of you! Love the videos!

Welcome back Fooster. I’m glad to hear that you are making a come back. Love the gameplay. I hope you continue to get better.

7:45 - They used caged canaries due to their sensitive respiratory systems for the early detection of toxic gasses, especially Carbon Monoxide and Dioxide (being heavier than air and hard to detect), hence the phrase "Canary in the coal mine". And let's not forget > Industrial machinery > Flooding > Suffocation > Collapses > Claustrophobia > Spontaneous combustion where flammable gasses such as Mehnae would accumulate... etc. Hats off to those miners.

Happy New Year Fooster, all the best to you and yours for 2024 too. So glad you're feeling better but take it a bit easy for a little while still. Thanks for the almost 2 hour spoop show. 😆

I only recently started watching your videos. I was in the hospital for a little while last month. Unfortunately not a whole lot to do in there while you’re stuck in a bed. Certainly no real gaming! 😢 Made me feel less alone watching your videos. I love how genuine you are, especially in horror games when you’re in a bit of a panic! 😂♥️

The king of immersion..the master of narration .Fooster is back❤

Merry Christmas! Your videos bring peace for me. 2023 ended with a bang for me. My uncle family perished during the Israel war in November, in December my sister and cousin were diagnosed with stage 3 cancer (both doing chemotherapy right now), lost my job and my grandmother passed away a week before Christmas. Hopefully 2024 will be a banger for everyone! Happy new year Fooster. I wish you a speedy recovery, I need your videos to get me through this shitshow times.

Glad that you are back. I wish you get well soon. We all were worried about you but at the end.. Our Fooster is back. Totally loved the whole 1:44:04... Hurrah!! 🤩

Welcome back Fooster ❤ thank you so much for putting time in this. I hope you fully recover soon.

The movie was called My Bloody Valentine!! It’s such an under-rated movie! Glad to see you back Fooster❤ Hope you feel back to 100% soon!

glad to hear you are feeling a bit better Fooster. wishing you and yours the best of health

Fooster! I'm so glad to see you're back! I feel like a family member has returned 😆 can't wait to watch this video and get jumped-scared along with you 🤣

I feel relieved for Foosters sake that he didn't see that spirit in the elevator @ 24:41 . Welcome back Fooster and I hope all is well!

YAY! Welcome back Fooster! Hope you’re feeling better! Hope you had a wonderful holiday despite and a lovely new years 🎉

Love the horror games man, your reactions and commentary is on point!

The movie you're thinking of is 'My Bloody Valentine' and the bird is a canary. Glad you're feeling better Fooster, I've had Covid three times. Best thing is Mucinex and lots of water. Plenty of rest and try to lay on your stomach periodically to help move the phlegm out. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I'm a former EMT and my wife is a nurse.
