    It’s always a red flag when all the regular sounds you hear at night suddenly stop.

    These days I find myself keep checking this channel for new videos and if not I just re-listen the older stories, these stories are THAT good

    That part with the staircase genuinely creeped me out. The fact that you could hear a whole family talking at the top, then something invisible actually started coming down the stairs… nope. And that ending with “his” voice outside the cabin was just brutal. 😳

    Shout-out of appreciation that this wasn't just wendigo / skinwalker stuff, I listen to a lot of channels like this and the total lack of creativity in 95% of scary nature stories is frustrating. So, thanks for being good!

    The scariest part wasn’t hearing his father’s voice—it was realizing the thing knew memories no one else should have known. Did anyone else feel the same?<br>😱😱

    I was born in SE Ohio, Appalachian Plateau, and I have an eerie memory from there. When I was about four, my bed was up against one of the two walls with a window. I was laying in bed one night, the old roller style &nbsp;of blinds from the 80&apos;s all the way up, and I heard something outside. It was a soft noise, I don&apos;t &nbsp;even remember what it sounded like, maybe some sort of shifting. Not sure. But I looked up from my pillow, and in the corner, I saw a pair of slanted, yellow eyes. I was too terrified to move, and after about five minutes of staring into those unblinking eyes, I just closed my eyes, praying the Lord&apos;s prayer and Hail Mary I learned in Sunday school a few months prior. After a few minutes, I very slightly opened my eyes, and the eyes were gone.<br><br>The next morning, I told my mom, and she said it was an owl, and don&apos;t worry about it. But it wasn&apos;t perched on the gutter. It was hovering underneath it, and there was kind of this black void around the eyes, that our porch light couldn&apos;t light up. It wasn&apos;t supported by anything, it was just hovering there. <br><br>I think this might contribute to why I ALWAYS have to have blinds/curtains closed when it&apos;s dark out, and I hate looking out windows at night. I haven&apos;t &nbsp;thought about looking into what it might have been, until now. But maybe I subconsciously don&apos;t want to know. Appalachia be weird, y&apos;all.

    These Appalachian stories are so good. The silence is so eerie also. And the backflip guy is actually pretty terrifying

    I can understand people going missing in the woods and remains not being found . Animal predation , decomposition and leaves covering the body would make it difficult to find someone after a few months . What I don&apos;t understand is why all the gear isn&apos;t found . Awesome story tonight Stephen and crew !! :_horrorwut::_horrorwut::_blueshirt::_flyingbat::_skelldance::_skelldance:
