Watching this at 3am in a tent in Yosemite is truly terrifying but I only have myself to blame

[jeffedmundson]

I built a cabin in the foothills of the Blue Mountains in Oregon years ago. It sat near a beautiful bend in the river in a deep canyon. Towards the end of the day you could often feel "It" watching you. (getting the goose bumps as I type this and remember). As the sun sunk over the ridge and the evening shadows began to fall a feeling of doom would start to settle in, the hair would start to stand up on the back of my neck. When it was time to quit working for the day, or sometimes a little sooner, I literally ran for my work van to get out of there, even leaving tools out over night. I never saw anything - just felt it.
This was on the Umatilla Indian reservation's eastern border and it always made me think there might be some interesting history connected to this place.

We were as a huge group walking through one of Yosemite’s trails to mirror lake. There were a ton of tourist coming and going and it was in broad daylight. Right then and there another tourist told us that we walked right past a mountain lion which was standing right behind the bushes watching us. 😳

I was up in Sedona and went on a hike on my own in the woods just north of Slide Rock Park. I started jogging through the woods on an empty hiking trail and suddenly felt eerie and unsafe so I turned around to go back to my car. Not sure if there was a real threat but I think my instincts told me to turn back for whatever reason. Hiking on my own felt like a bad idea. Whether it be the danger of human predators or otherwise: Don't hike alone, ladies!

[lindsayschilling]

P.S. when hiking in a group, do not allow people to fall behind (no stragglers) or take a different path, not ever (pair up, keep track of one another while staying together as a group). If you must answer the call of nature, the entire group stops and your paired up partner stays close to you. Many of these points/rules seem childish to the inexperienced hiker, but experienced hikers will understand & agree. Again, many hikers, 1000's, have gone missing in Nat'l. Parks. This IS completely avoidable if you follow these certain basic rules.

I've never had an encounter with any kind of cryptid but I am a firm believer that there's a lot more to this world than what is widely known or accepted by mainstream science.

We hiked to a high desert lake, two young women. We passed no one. When we returned, same trail, about 2 hours later, draped across the trail, deliberately, was a beheaded rattlesnake. We kept sensing someone or something was following us. We finally became unnerved, hated doing this, but ran all out for our truck. We couldn't get inside fast enough. We left, not wanting to see if we could see what had been behind us.

As someone who was born and raised in Sonora ca (right next to Yosemite) I know they’re are some creepy stuff. No one goes walking at night by themselves up there and everyone’s like oh because of bears or lions. No. It’s easy to scare those off. There’s a lot of things we can’t explain. Just don’t go out at night. Don’t go off by yourself and stick to the trail. I’ve seen some stuff hiking on my property. Legit on opposite side of the mountain that Yosemite is on. I was walking around when I was young climbing trees etc etc. and when I was climbing down one time it felt like I was being watched. And I heard foot steps so I looked down thinking my brother was with me. I saw a pair of antlers and thought oh it was a deer so I broke a branch off and threw it at it and it didn’t move and deer are very skittish. So I just sat in the tree. Not wanting to go down because it was matting season and male deer get very aggressive. But eventually it did leave but so fast it looked like a blur. If I had blinked at that moment it’d have appeared as if it was never there. Ever since then I’ve believed in cryptids. And I only went out with friends into the woods.

A lot of people believe in the skinwalkers of Yosemite that live there

[love-killz]

I grew up in the mountains. It's weird bc there's like a legitimate difference between feeling watched by an animal/person and being watched by something else. I've only ever experienced this a few times but still it's unnerving. Like a feeling of dread, like something bad is going to happen if you don't get away

[DevinaMagdalena]

Basically the moral of the story is: don’t go hiking ALONE in national parks or anywhere in the woods, for that matter.

As someone who lived in Yosemite ( Yosemite valley & Tuolumne meadows ) for over 6 years, I can attest that there are definitely shadow / spirit beings who roam this most majestic and magical of places. They are to be respected - by respecting the land, its creatures and stewards, and being in loving communion with the beauty and healing to be found while there. And also by being cautious! All in all, Yosemite and all of its energies are beautiful and powerful, and yes, sometimes even scary. That’s part of its’ allure too! ❤

A Crazy thing Happened to me once *years ago* when I was camping with a few friends the summer after graduating HS. I was 19. We were in the middle of breaking down firewood, making small talk, telling jokes, kicking back a few cold ones. It was sunny, warm, the air felt fresh & light, you could hear the birds chirping. Then it was like a dark cloud rolled thru. Like, with in seconds the air got cold & heavy, the wind went STILL like untouched water. The birds didn’t just go quiet, Istg they just ceased to exist altogether. No sound of wings flapping or there lil chirps getting quieter in the distance. One moment it was bright, sunny, noisy. Then the next moment it was Just. dead. Still. Silence.
We all felt it at the same time to. We all went quiet with world around us & looked at each other like, “you seeing this?”
I mean it man. It was so unnervingly, unnaturally quiet that every instinct in our human bodies was on edge. We all got on the same page with one look & no words to eachother. “If we make a noise. Something bad is going to happen. And we’re a long *long* way away from help if we need it.” Knowing this & seeing all my friends frozen like statues. I went with my gut & started SILENTLY moving towards my tent where my dads M9 Baretta was. He’d lent it to me for the trip “just in case.” (his words)
I took one step, two steps, three steps, SNAP. A twig cracked. But it wasn’t me. We all looked over to where we heard the noise come from and I kid you not. A freaking herd of wild deer steamrolled our camp Lmao. We had to group up while they ran past us so we didn’t get run over. After that, it was like someone turned the noise back on. Warm air, birds chirping & the wind came back to. Also, not for nothing but standing in the middle of a small stampede is genuinely awe inspiring so we were actually in a really good mood after the whole ordeal cause of that lol. That aside, I’ve spent A LOT of time in the woods before and after this. but what gets me about this experience is that this is the ONLY time I’ve ever seen deer running TOWARDS ppl out of fear. I knew it back then but I didn’t wanna freak out my friends. Those deer were running from something. Something so inherently dangerous that the deer didn’t even care to notice the group of 4 men right infront of them. What on earth could scare an entire herd of deer like that? What could could terrify this thing so bad that it would rather take its chances by rubbing shoulders with another predator instead of whatever was chasing it? And the biggest thing that I’ve never been able to answer from that experience is where did they come from??? Cause normally you would hear SOMETHING when you have 20 mammals barreling downhill towards you at 20-30MPH. But we didn’t hear a thing till they were on us. It was like they bursted into our reality out of thin air. I’ve only experienced two things in my life that I couldn’t logically explain and this was one of them.

I worked and lived in Yosemite for 7 years. The first instance you mentioned in the Hetch Hetchy Valley isn't all that bizarre. Contrary to what you stated, that area of the park is actually very remote and trail maintenance is often very neglected. People go missing their quite frequently. However, I'd urge you to look into Pate Valley as there are a lot of strange occurrences that happen there that are easily obtainable through NPS records.

Years ago my two sisters were getting ready to go camping in a tent in some woods down the road from our home in Florida, and before they left, I started getting a very unnerving feeling in my gut about it. I had gotten a premonition, that a strange balding man with glasses, driving a white van, felt like a dangerous human being and perhaps would follow them. Well my sisters didn't listen to me, thinking I was just being paranoid, and I just kept pleading with them not to go. Once they left anyway, I just started praying real hard for their safety, as my gut feeling of something bad might happen to them, was screaming at me! About twenty or thirty minutes later they showed back up at our home, all in a panic then told me what happened after they had left. Turned out they went and stopped at a convenience store to pick up snacks before heading across the road to the woods, before going camping and they said to me "Omg, what you said to us, was true!"

They told me how they stopped at the Farm store. (For those of you not familiar with that store, it's a small chain convenience store located I believe, mostly on the east coast.) Anyhow, they said the description I gave of a balding man wearing glasses, sure enough had pulled up in a white van, and the man noticed them in the store and was acting strangely. He started following them around in it, and watching them. They said they were so freaked out, and left in a hurry, and made sure to not go straight home, in case he would follow them and then know where we lived. Some people might say maybe the guy was harmless, but I believe when you get a bad gut feeling about a person, listen to it! This is a true story, and I'm always reminded of that night when I see stories like this here on Youtube. I believe in the paranormal, but I'm more afraid of the living. There's real evil in this world among humans, always watch your back, and don't venture off alone especially being a woman! Let people know where you're going and always be aware of your surroundings!

I’m reading a book from the 1800’s called Fairy Faith in Celtic countries. The author brings up Yosemite and an informant of his working w the Madoc Indians(may be dif tribe). Apparently there was the same type of phenomenon like the Sidhe from Ireland etc. Kidnapping people, making them lost, appearing as different daimons, etc. The Indians claimed there was a malevolent race of invisible beings who despised humans at Yosemite. From my research every country and people had this same phenomenon go on. It seems it was quite common even a couple hundred years ago and then it kind of faded out. Maybe has to do a light or electromagnetic spectrum. But I think we’re headed back into an era where our realities are going to be more aware of each other’s again.

These lands were inhabited for thousands of years by native people. I believe that their spirits may still be there to guard their land. It’s heart breaking to think that their culture was eradicated. In Siberia, their brothers and sisters still live the old way of life, still speak their languages.

Regarding the last story, I'm Christian which is similar to Catholic. I found it weird that him being Catholic meant he didn't believe in stuff outside of reality because as a Christian, I was taught that stuff outside of reality like the paranormal is real. If demons and stuff happened in the bible why would it not still exist/ actually exist today?

[youremyfavoritesong]

My grandfather once got lost and was very dehydrated at Yosemite after deciding to head back to the lodge alone while the rest of my family was hiking. He was found by a park ranger wandering around and confused, and while my family jokes about it now (he was very fond of hiking so stuff like this didn't usually happen to him), it was certainly scary at the time. It's definitely not weird to me that stuff like this happens all the time, it could have had a very different outcome if he went a different direction, since he was confused enough to wander off the path.

I had an unusual experience up past the dam there in 2008. My partner and I walked through the tunnel to the trails. After hiking a while I ended up alone and I sat down on a rock. Then I felt strange. The wind stopped, time stopped Another time we both stopped to sit under a bridge by a creek. We started to pick up rocks and began making a dam. I do not know why we did it. Neither of us spoke at all. Time got away from us and we realized we sat there two hours. Only a few feet apart but neither of us spoke about what we were doing and at the time it seemed perfectly natural. After I read missing 411 I now know we slipped into some mysterious trance. (and no we were not on drugs). We were just "working" Moving these rocks to create a pool/dam so the water did not flow through well. It was peaceful and relaxing and made NO sense at all. We never spoke about it after.

I’ve met some people from Guatemala’s countryside who told me unbelievable things they’ve seen. These people are no no nonsense salt of the earth simple people. You ought to look into stories from that region. Shiat out of this world
