Hi. I am 62 years old, & when I was a kid, we went on a huge family vacation, & one of the places we went was Yellowstone. That was in the early 1960's. 1963 maybe? Not sure. I was little. We were camped only a little way in from the entrance. We stayed there only 1 night. The next day we had gone sight seeing. When we returned to the park, we were met at the entrance by the military. My dad was told that the park was shut down because of a bear who had attacked a camper. However, because we were camping near the entrance, they allowed us to get our stuff. Everyone had to stay in the car while my dad, uncle, brother and cousin went & took down the tent and grabbed the sleeping bags & stuff. They weren't allowed to roll up the sleeping bags or pack anything. They just had to throw it all in the back of the truck and then we took off. We were lucky that they even allowed us to do that. I asked my dad why the military was there for a bear & he said, don't ask any questions. It's none of our business. We are just lucky that we got to get our stuff.

When I was younger, my grandmother, great aunt and I took a short trip to Yellowstone in my great aunt's rv. We drove that thing from Auburn, California, up into Yellowstone and then back down through Southern Idaho to Boise and back to California, camping out in the few places where we stayed the night. We stayed 3 days in Yellowstone. We had planned to stay 5 but changed our minds on night 3 because of a couple of things: MY grandmother woke up one night to the sound of something scratching at the door. After looking through the window, she woke me up to look with her. We saw something so beautiful and dangerous that it knocked the breath from my lungs. There was a herd of big, shaggy bison out there, snacking on the grass. In amongst them (which scared us both) were at least 10 very large wolves who were nipping at the big animals' feet. All I could think was, " Great! Those dumb dogs are going to cause a stampede! " Fortunately, they all soon moved on. We went back to bed and nothing else of note happened that night. In the morning, we did the typical touristy things, Old Faithful, checking out the boiling hot mineral-laden, rainbow colored pools, a little random forest hiking. That kind of stuff. Night two passed uneventfully. The wee hours of night three, however, is what had us clearing out and not ever going back. Around 1:30 in the morning, we were all awakened by scratching at the aluminum door. Scratching? No. You know the nails on a chalkboard sound? THAT kind of scratching. We all jumped up from our little beds and, Grandma immediately checked that the door was locked. There was a horrible stench coming in through the vents on the top which we had left open just so it didn't get stuffy inside the rv. All three of us crept to windows on the door side and carefully peered out into the darkness toward that door. From my spot, I could, at first, just barely make out a HUGE shaggy man. I assumed he was wearing some sort of long fur coat. It wasn't until it stepped back that I realized that it couldn't be a coat but had to be either his clothing or his own fur/hair. He turned toward the back of the rv and I got a good look at his face. We all did. What we saw had us pulling away from the windows in a hurry. It looked kinda human but like it was merged with some kind of flat faced bear. It had short, mangy fur all over its face with slightly longer and lighter colored fur where you would expect the eyebrows to be and the rest of him was covered in a dense mat of longer, dark fur. It's mouth looked human except for the two enormous, curved cylindrical teeth that pointed up from his bottom lip, leaving his mouth slightly ajar. I couldn't tell where his head ended and neck began because of the fur and lack of lighting but I will say that he was very tall and very broad shouldered. We later found paint scratched completely away from where the edge of the roof and the side were joined together. This was a new vehicle so we could be relatively certain that they weren't there before as this was the first trip in it. People talk about red eyes. I saw nothing of the sort. In fact, it's eyes looked almost human except a bit further apart and a bit higher on the head than they should have been. Anyway, we didn't even go back to bed or bother changing into regular clothing. My great aunt hopped up front, into that driver's seat, started her up and we drove out of there, not stopping until we were at least half an hour's drive away from Yellowstone's entrance and headed into Idaho. Like I said, none of us have ever gone back.

I was an OTR truck driver for over 20 yrs covering 48 @ Canada. In the late 80's My ex hisband @ I went on a run that we wete able to go thru Yellowstone. I was so excited as i honestly love wildlife and enjoy all the beauty of the mtns,peace at its best... On entering the park we were guided to pull off to the right, we complied immediately as we watched in amazement a convoy of our military slowly pass by. There were dry box, flat beds loaded @ heavily tarped, refrigerator units used to transport perishable foods to or knowledge, there were jeeps @ Hummers,, I don't know how many transport trucks designed to carry men went by. I know i was tired and had counted well over 100 trucks before dozing off. I woke as we began to move and i was more than slightly confused as the only things in sight that were green were trees. I asked my husband where all the army trucks went since it was a very large convoy, not easy for it to disappear... He told me that we were made to sit @ wait for almost two hours after the last truck had passed,@ rangers told him that due to some difficulty getting some of the trucks thru a couple of places, the public was held back till the roadway was clear. Well, not only was it clear, it was as if they had never even been there. Now, we'd already had one bad experience involving Rocky Mountain Arsenal out in Denver back in 1983, so we knew when to make ourselves scarce @ keep our mouths shut. At the same time, the timing is perfect, we saw exactly what this man saw, andI know in my gut this man is telling the truth. Driving truck across I-90 thru Montana, on up thru the N.W., we saw lights on the sky many times that no way were they stars. I've seen so much OTR that couldn't be explained with any degree of logic. I have taken walks in many places, up behind rest areas just to enjoy nature. One such walk up on Snoqualmie Pass over Seattle I'd walked maybe a couple hundred yards up a hillside when I froze noticing it was deathly quiet,@ i knew I was being watched intently and it wasn't a welcoming commitee... Standingatowering 5' 3@ weighing 107 lbs I decided retreat was the better part of valor @ slowly turned and walked slowly back down to my truck. So i know exactly what he means talking about that unwelcome feeling only i would add that underneath that is a darkness, an anger, where you know in your gut is leave or die. There's things out there you don't wanna mess with, and you damn sure don't want em messing with you. So yes, i believe every word he said.

I am a retired Seargeant 1st class, Army Airborne, Survival/ survival equipment specialist, I taught all services. One summer 3 day weekend, I and 3 other friends hiked up Ice House Canyon, up the switchbacks about two miles in to the first flat. There was a readymade fire pit and a fantastic view. I was setting up for stew for dinner and a loaf of Shepherds bread. From there to East by Southeast you could see Scotty's Cabin, a stone cabin from the gold rush days. I told them to take the lantern and my machete just in case they lost track of time as the lot of them would be a good meal for the bear and mountain lion. They laughed untill I called them over and pointed various tracks, they stopped laughing. As it was getting close to sunset I could hear them coming down being noisy as can be . As they came into view they wanted to packup and leave as they could hear something following them and see the eyes glow. I broke out my quart of Jack Daniels and made them sit, drink and have dinner till they were mellowed out I told them go to bed. I would keep a big fire to keep the wild animals away, and stay up and keep watch till the morning. Drank a lot of coffee, kept the fire going and nothing happened. By the time they woke I had eggs, bacon and hash browns ready. I caught some "Z"s while they broke camp. I later checked out the trail and did find sign of good sized mountain lion tracks. By the time I made it back everything was packed and they were ready to go😊

Never going camping again- imagine the force it takes to tear off an adult human head. Sick world, great work here

I have listened to many dog-men stories, bigfoot stories and cases of missing persons but this has me so riveted, so floored, that I have to listen to this episode twice. Wow!

Loved your video. I was telling my friend that I saw something running on the road that I can only describe as a werewolf. It was about 2 am in the morning and I was coming home from a visit at my friends. We stayed up way too late talking. Where I live backs onto a protected park and also there is wilderness around the sub division I live in. It ran so fast and my brain couldn't compute what I was seeing. I told my husband and he blew me off and said it was probably a black bear. It was not a black bear. I don't tell many people what I saw because they make fun of you and think you are nuts. I know what I saw. It terrified me and I was glad it was running away from me and I was also glad I was in my vehicle. xo Elise

Back in the 70s a couple of BUDDIES and me followed the old ccc trail from the sangria de Cristo MNTS IN pueblo Colorado and followed it all the way up to the bitterroot mountains in Montana. And we were all carrying 2 pistols and 150 rounds for each one. We came across some very weird things and we were attacked by something huge. All we could say to each other was that whoever threw the rock was a very big guy because the rock was atleast 100lbs and it came from 50 yards out. We packed up and and left it was 2:30am we sinched up our packs and ran since we were on leave were in very good condition and we ran for 3 miles . An started to slow down so we could stop but we could still hear it in the bush. We looked at each other and decided to get back to back and squatted down for a little bit and what ever it was kept moving forward the direction that we were going to be heading but we were just staying put it kept moving and about 2 minutes later it just stopped and was quite for a bit and let out a loud screaming type roar and we were looking at each other and we checked our weapons and made sure our ammo was easy to get too. We waited an 7 to 10 minutes later a huge rock came out of the trees but it landed 15 yards away and we figured it didn't know where we were. We stayed quiet and waited and we seen a massive being step out of the tree line and it walked down the trail 25 yards in front of us and this thing was so huge we just looked at our guns and we were very worried because we only had 2 45s, 2 9mm, 1 38, 1 357, an we didn't have enough firepower to put something that big down it was just to MASSIVE. IT WAS ATLEAST 9 OR 10 FT. TALL AND AROUND 6 FT. WIDE AT THE SHOULDERS AND I BELIEVE ALL OF OUR AMMO WOULD HAVE JUST PISSED IT OFF.

Grew up in Wyoming and have been to Yellowstone serval times. The military is there a lot, no one ever says why but it's easily assumed there is strange activity. Wyoming really is still very Wild untamed, all types of things have been seen here. Our grandparents all have interesting stories of the mountains. Especially the reservation, skin walkers, dog men, strange murders all happen or have been spotted.

I've been living in the Colorado mountains since I got out of the Marine corps. I've seen some really really strange things going on in the bush. Both natural anomalies, and strange equipment movements and sites that you can tell something happened there. If I had the money to buy the right equipment I would never leave the mountains.

I'm from northwestern Michigan and there are stories around my area about Bigfoot and Dogman. One story was told by a few loggers years ago. They say that back in the 1800s when Michigan was being logged so heavily, that the loggers back then use to make sure they went to bed fully clothed with their boots on because it was easier to run away from the Bigfoot if they kidnapped you while you were sleeping in your tent at night. There are all kinds of stories up here of cryptids. I have personally seen a few Bigfoot and Dogman in my life time as well, people these beings are very real..

I just had a very harrowing experience on the interstate while listening to this video. My roommate and I both work for the same place. And we ride to and from work together. We have about a 30 or 40 minute commute depending upon traffic. Long story short, we were listening to this video and my roommate fell asleep at the wheel and we did a few 360s all over the road and swerved in all different kinds of directions without hitting anything in the medium or on the shoulder. And luckily, everyone behind us was able to slow down and stop without causing a pileup. And we had an 18-wheeler directly behind us. It's an absolute miracle that no one was hurt and or killed. The thing is, we travel this interstate several times a day at least five days a week. And just in the past two years since I moved here and started frequently taking that route, I couldn't even begin to list all of the different times that I was driving by on the other side and the opposite side was totally gridlocked because of a deadly accident. Or, I was actually on the side that the accident occurred and had to sit for the longest time while everything was cleaned up and cleared. I'm just saying that I've seen a ton of accidents out here and I've always prayed that I would never be involved in one. Especially a fatal one. And I've seen some bad ones. I'm feeling very grateful to be alive right now. I was really getting into the video. I was about 10 or 15 minutes in when the incident occurred. I was just spacing out, watching the road, and listening to the video while visualizing what was being said. I wasn't paying much attention to the fact that my roommate was falling asleep at the wheel, lol. But it's no offense to the video. It's a great video and we both really enjoyed it. We just work really hard in the hot sun all day and I guess he was especially tired today, LOL. But anyway, I'm glad to be alive and be home and safe. Now I'm going to sit down with my cat and enjoy the rest of this video in peace. Stay safe, everyone!

This is why I do all my hiking and woods exploration ON THE INTERNET. Never had a problem! 👌😁

It is interesting to note that this story occurred to have increased in activity right after the 1988 historic wildfires. In July of 1989 my family and I had spent a week in Yellowstone with our foreign exchange student. We all noted that, probably due to the devastation from the fires the year before, that the park didn't seem to be very crowded, especially during the busy season, or what should have been the busy season. We had thought about driving into Cody one day but vetoed that idea when we heard there was alot of "construction"(?) going on in that direction. We just went up to the Mammoth Hot Springs. Hardly anyone was there. Now, hearing this story, it really makes me wonder. And since we stayed in West Yellowstone and did not camp like we usually would have, probably kept us safe and unaware something weird was happening in Yellowstone. I'm an experienced hiker, having hiked the entire Sierra Crest trail, and the Grand Canyon, South Rim to North Rim, and parts of the Appalachian Trail near where I live currently. At the time I lived in Eastern Utah near the Moab area and hiked there as well. And believe me,, I have seen some weird stuff and heard strange sounds while in the back country of the Rockies. But listening to this gave me the shivers.

I was in my mid-20s driving through Yellowstone in the mid 90s, and there were military check points everywhere. I showed my active duty Marine ID. I was told by the checkpoint that all cars are being escorted out of the park. The soldiers I speaking too. Told me this is not a place to visit or stop for any reason. The park is not safe, and they do not even want to be there.

I am from Wyoming...Was on the Yellowstone Fire in 88...I never saw anything weird,lived here my whole life and have never heard any of these stories..even by old timers

These first hand Park Ranger encounters makes you wonder if there were always nefarious ulterior motives behind the federal government setting up the National Parks System. With the huge number of bizarre and strange disappearances that take place in the National Parks every year, you have to wonder what’s actually going on out there in the wilderness. There’s just far too many people who completely vanish by mysterious circumstances for them to have happened naturally. Are there predatory hybrid animal humanoids attacking hikers, or are there strange government experiments which require human captors, or are there creatures from folklore abducted people who are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, or are there feral people hunting and killing hikers they come across, or are these people being stalked and murdered by your average serial killer, or are there portals to other dimensions swallowing up people, or is it just people disappearing due to standard animal attacks and or regular injuries!? Whatever the case might be, one thing is certain, something strange is going on in our National Parks and the government is definitely not telling us the truth. That’s why I believe in the encounters being told by the host of this channel. As crazy as some of these stories are, we’ve been lied to so much since childhood that we’re programmed to think all of this is make believe.

I visited Yellowstone in 92 or 93 with my mom and dad we camped there for about a week and a half. During that time they had several sections of the Park closed off because of "bear attacks". And almost every night at the different campgrounds we were at as we were setting up tents a park ranger would come around and come through and warn us about the bear attacks and missing people. It seemed a little weird at the time I know my dad thought it was extremely weird. I still felt safe because like myself my dad always slept with a pistol under his pillow. But now hearing all these stories from around that time it kind of makes sense why they were warning people and telling people not to stray far from their campsites and to not go off the trails

The worst about such encounter is: You can t pretend anymore, that these things don t exist. And you start thinking :What else is there...?

We lived in Pocatello for 5 years in the late '70s, and made numerous trips into Yellowstone either just for the day, or to do a bunch of woodcutting and haul it all back home. One day there was a distant but very loud scream like a woman in terror... My parents and older sisters all freaked out and we abandoned our tree we just felled and had been starting to load up, and just drove home without getting any more wood. After years, my mom talked with me about that and said that they figured it was a Bigfoot, because they'd heard stories about what their scream sounds like. I had been too young at the time to know anything about Bigfoot being a scary thing. Irrelevant of this incident, I have to say that Yellowstone ALWAYS gave me the creeps. I hate going anywhere near it. I have had girlfriends who wanted to visit, and I refused. I have only voluntarily gone near (Jackson, Wyoming) once in the several decades since. One of my last times going was around the timing of this story, and I was really creeped out again as we drove in. It didn't help that my Dad's friend was talking with us as we drove about the whole "supervolcano" thing, and I ended up chalking all the freaky feelings about the place to being related to this being an active caldera. But now that I hear a bunch of stories like this, it all makes much more sense. I also now have to wonder... I heard rumors in 2020 about a plan to detonate a nuke subterranian in Yellowstone, because they wanted to "relieve the magma pressure before it got any higher and reaches Extinction Level Event levels." The planned date was August 21, 2021. Obviously this never occurred, and I'd chalked that up to this thing about "We can't do it now because the cat's out of the bag and people would revolt if we continued." This however might correlate with the rest of this... The whole military thing of (quoting Stargate), "Look for any signs of trouble, and if I found some, blow it up. Well, I found some."

My uncle said when he was doing his Federal forestry training in the late 70s early 80s the training material written and printed by the federal government had Sasquatch in the wild life section and they were told if they ever encounter them steer and leave the area immediately and told do not approach or attempt to interact with them for any reason.

I remember in the late 80s early 90s there was talk about closing the national parks...it was of course blamed on taxes and no money...but still. I had family that went to Yellowstone (we're in Nebraska so it's only maybe a day trip to Yellowstone) and I remember my uncle Paul being really confused about the military being in the park too.

I have been going to Yellowstone since 1996 and I remember hearing about this story at the bar inside the old faithful inn. They have an exchange program for foreign students to come work there for the summer and one of them told us about it and a couple of other really strange things that happened. Apparently lake Yellowstone is one of the most haunted places in all national parks

I was a kid when my family and I drove through Yellowstone in June of 1970 and the weirdest thing that happened was there was no sign of anything going on but when we got to the Northern area of the park all of a sudden a horrific wind storm went over the area and began breaking big trees across the road. Again, about 5 minutes before this event nothing was going on and the sky was mostly clear except for a few small white clouds. Our car didn't get hit but others did and people who had chainsaws cut the logs that had fallen across the road. I heard stories later on in my life that kept me out of Yellowstone; I am now 67 years old?

This story was absolutely gut-wrenching and I believe every word you're saying. As a Native I know these things have been happening for a very long time. Thousands of years.

I watched this video a while back and never commented how I felt. I have listened to thousands of hours of stories on the internet, along with reading them on reddit and other sites. I watch these videos late at night with the lights off and have researched topics like this in depth for decades. I live in the middle of nowhere where things can get weird and desolate, seeing some strange animals and hearing sounds which just add to the entire vibe. I can honestly say that this story, of all that I have ever listened to, made me turn a light on at 3 am watching. LoL. This story takes the cake. Outstanding.

About nine years ago my husband and I hand-built an off-grid cabin in the woods of Washington state. We spend every summer into late fall there. On hikes we see elk, deer, badger, porcupine and have caught cougar on our game cam. I spent a month up there alone with my dog and two good weapons. In all the times in the forest neither my husband or myself have ever experienced anything supernatural or scary. I say this because I feel these stories will scare people from ever getting to experience the beauty of the woods. Maybe the fact that I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and have an incredible ongoing relationship with him and spent a lot of time communing with him when I'm in the woods might have something to do with this, I'm not sure, but his light overwhelms the darkness.

This is one of the scariest stories you've told. No more camping or National Parks for me. You really do a great job. 😢

As ½ Native I was raised knowing there are things out there so old only the wind remembers their name. Places that even our peoples still give a wide birth for good reason. We have been taught when we are walking in the woods or near a waterfall NEVER answer anything that calls our name or you hear whistling, ignore it. Act like you didn't hear it. Don't even so much as pause in surprise for a second. Just calmly keep walking & if in a group keep an upbeat light hearted banter going. DO NOT discuss it. Not in the woods, not in the car. And whatever you do DON'T use White Sage to cleanse your car, home or eachother. White people mistakenly think White Sage is for cleansing. It is not. White Sage is for INVOKING. Inviting the great spirit in. If you Sage after this type of encounter you will invite it in. Use Mugwort, preferably Mugwort that you yourself harvested respectfully. Try not to use the Palo Santo or other bundles that have been mass produced for consumerism. Another thing you should get rid of anyway is your welcome mat or anything near your door that says Welcome. That is all the invitation / permission that things need to enter your home.

My dad and step-mom were avid campers. Every summer when I would spend it at my dads we always went camping at Yellowstone or kings canyon. In Kings Canyon we always went off road and camped out in the deep wilderness. In Yellowstone we only camped in assigned campgrounds. When I got older I asked my dad why we couldn’t go deep in Yellowstone. He told me a story of when he was a teen, him and his 2 brothers went to Yellowstone and hiked into the forest to set up camp off path. During the night they started hearing hooting sounds, knocks, screams and strange thudding foot stomps. They had weapons but didn’t feel safe, they ended up grabbing flashlights and running the 2 hours back to their car. The next day they went back to the campsite to grab their gear and the tent was ripped to shreds, and their clothes and backpacks were 50+ feet up in the trees. They quickly gathered what wasn’t damaged and got the heck out of there. My dad and my uncles made a pact with each other to NEVER camp outside the campgrounds in Yellowstone. When the young men relayed the story to the park rangers, the rangers shook their heads and said there’s a reason why we tell you to never go off path and stay always in the designated campgrounds.

I really enjoyed it, you related it so well and there was such a lot of detail. I'm English and there is nothing like this in our woods but even I've heard countless stories like this from America, your forests are so massive that they could hide something like this, so I think there is some truth to it.

My personal theory after taking into account all the 411 cases and paranormal events, is that it could be people and "cryptids" crossing over dimensions/parallel universes. Back and forth both ways, sometimes a person ends up in one of a random parallel universe and sometimes they come over to ours, that's why creatures seem to disappear after sightings. This would take into a lot of strange phenomena, maybe a person is at the right place, time and bam, they are found days later in spots scoured for days wandering or dead.

Something not mentioned... 1989 was the year after the big fires in the park. I was in the park in '89 and '90 and there was stuff going on. I remember seeing military there training. But hey, OUR park is government property, so what better place to train. I am former military, so I was not surprised to see them in the park. I live close to the south entrance of Yellowstone and have been in the park more times than I can count. There has not been one time while there, that I had a warm fuzzy feeling about it. It has always given me a weird vibe and never felt comfortable. I have never heard stories until now about these bear/wolf like beings in Yellowstone but do know for a fact, there are Sasquatch in and around the park.

You are a fantastic story teller. Your voice, your tone, your demeanor. I especially love hearing rangers talk about what they've seen in national parks. Thank you for the great content.

I really love listening to you tell the stories you put so much emphasis it's like I'm sitting there and watching the whole thing take place I love to tell stories my self, I only wish I were as good as you are ☺️

I just found your channel within the past 2 months. This was the first time listening to this video, but Wow! 😮 It has been listened to almost 2 million times. I can understand the Wolf/Bear/Man genetic hybrid in that area. With those being the top predators that naturally occur in that environment, so it seems like a being that would be created to live there in the caves. ***. I had to keep telling myself that you are being a storyteller. You did an awesome job telling the story. I am glad I watched it during the daylight hours. I know they are underground and they are being protected by our World Shadow Government who have made a "deal" with them a long time ago. I hope the semiconductor boards were worth it. 😢

Considering all the silence and/or red tape that David Paulides gets from these park ranger people about missing people this story sounds like it could be true.

I like how you made it feel like this was YOUR testimony. Yellowstone has always creeped me out, yet drawn me in because of it's natural beauty. I know that it is a cryptid and paranormal hot bed, and that like most of our National Parks, is a regular 411 cite. Awesome story.

I don't know you I live thousands of miles from America .in 89, I was bless to have two amazon friend one. was in his seventh, and I had a next friend of his told me about similar incidents in America. Yellow stone was one and most of the national parks they talked about something about what you is Saying exactly what my old friend discovered and the government make him look like he going crazy or seeing things. Like I said you don't know me, but what you said, I believe you a hundred percent then some.i hope God continue to protect you. Have a great day

I visited Yellowstone back in 2012 for a day. Great experience. But, after hearing that the majority of the situations occurred in the northern part of the park, I have to wonder if the road up to that area was actually blocked off from flooding damage or something more troublesome to these recounted issues with dogmen and other paranormal aspects.

I really enjoy & appreciate your content. I have followed Mr. Ballen & David Paldise 411 stories. Yes, children, there are EXTREMELY strange things that go on in our national parks. Hence all the disappearances. A few can be ruled out, as inexperienced solo hikers, falling or getting lost & dying of starvation/dehydration, but those are usually found eventually & can be identified by clothing & other personal affects found on or near them. BUT, I have heard too many similar stories, such as this video described & they all have very similar events. Unfortunately, my sister & her family often go to Yellowstone for vacation, but it was always in an RV, which they no longer own. When they told me last year they were going in a tent this time, I pled with them to please, stay in a campground with many others around, park rangers close & on day hikes, stick to the damn trails!! If one of you have to "relive" yourselves, you all go together & only a few feet from the trail. NEVER, EVER go out alone, especially at night. My brother in-law is an avid hunter/woodsman, but they had heard sounds that even he cannot explain. We grew up in a very remote area in P.A. mountain country. I used to hike barefoot & young dumb me loved the woods at night, especially when there was a full moon, as we didn't need flash lights to see. Most people think the woods are peaceful at night. Well, I got news for you folks, it is very loud with nocturnal animal activity, yet I was never scared as I knew what animals made what sounds (owls, deer, bear etc) One night I was trekking thru the back woods to get to my friends house (maybe 1/2 mile thru dense forest) when for the 1st time in my life (I had played in the woods since I was 5 & was 25 at the time, I am now 45 & it still gives me chills to think about) I actually felt like something was off. So, I stopped to listen & the whole forest went quiet. Anyone who hunts knows this is NOT a good sign, as it usually means there is a large predator in the immediate vacinity. Then the sounds of the night returned to normal, so I continued my walk down to my friends property. Out of nowhere I hear a horrible sound & something very large coming toward me very quickly. (Unfortunately, there wasn't a full moon on this particular night) I could hear it breathing very heavily as it was running. All I could do was jump over a very large felled tree & curl up in a ball, as whatever it was came thundering towards where I had just been standing!!😱 Then "It" leapt over where I was hiding & came down so hard it shook the ground, but thankfully kept running. I must have stayed that way for I don't know how long, scared to move. I finally got up & ran the rest of the way to my friends where I could see the big bonfire going. When I got there I guess me being out of breath & the look on my face said it all. I explained what happened. No one there doubted me as they said they could here "something" out there too & had their rifles/shotguns at the ready. Let's just say we kept the fire very high & no one slept that night. It never happened again & we continued our bonfire nights, but the weapons were never far out of reach. I personally do not go anywhere near National Parks. You couldn't pay me enough. God bless the brave Rangers😇🙏

Never go unarmed in the woods, there are things out there that will harm you, people go missing every year, and these disappearances are not reported by our national park services, it is all kept hush, hush. Be safe and be careful.

Glad I found this again, saw this a while ago, think it’s my favourite story on the internet, so good ❤

I’m in Australia, don’t go camping because of health problems but I love these stories. I’d like to say what an awesome job you did narrating this story. I was almost convinced (again, I watched it 2 years ago) that you had experienced it firsthand. I can’t wait until your next video arrives. Xxx

Just started watching this episode, wolves were only reintroduced into Yellowstone in 1995. So in 1989, wolves were not abundant or present at that time. I visited Yellowstone in 1999 and remember the rangers talking about how the wolf population was growing since.

The hardest part of this story for me to believe is anyone would go tracking something with those kinda footprints in the deep dark woods at sundown! Smh it's hard to know what to believe anymore.

2.20, I visited Yellowstone in 2023 with my Son Scott, as he works at a hospital there. the trip was lots of fun. I am 84 years old now.

You are an excellent storyteller! I was hypnotized! Just amazing!

Growing up in the Central Valley, we did alot of week trips to Yosemite national park since it was just hours drive. Among the last few times we went was in the summer of 85, at the time I was around 15 and my brother was 10, we were quite comfortable hiking along the "trails" together alone and we were well equipped for a few hour trip mid day .. usual we did this when the parents would "nap" really it was when our baby sister napped and mom didnt want us to wake her lol . Even tho my little brother was only 10, he was bigger than me and started flexing his independence andso he started just running off the trail into creating these little side trips that i ended up having to follow him for hours into really beautiful, but densely vegetated areas where we would lose sight of any camping areas and the sound of people. My parents were creatures of habit so we literal would be at the same campsite every visit .. so on these side trips we had tied markers to the trees and in time we were going deeper and deeper into the area we called the wild trail, so when we talked about it, it sounded like a legit area so not to tip off the parents. The first time we ever seemed to lose time and got caught with the sun going down, it was like a switch for crazy shit suddenly turned on, I will never forget how my brothers face changed to how he looked when he was 5 and scared, with big eyes and screamed~ we need to get out of here!.. I grabbed his hand we ran back the way we came, i had my flashlight out searching for our markers ... when we heard this rumbling like thunder but it wasnt thunder it was a long growl! i felt the vibration of it in my chest that seemed to go on forever, but when that stopped, there were no sounds, like someone turned the woods on mute, no bugs not even the sounds of our own steps , i had to say something just to make sure i wasnt deaf, then suddenly it was my brother freaking out about something he saw ... we both stopped and i pointed my flashlight to where he was pointing his, and there were upside down stairs!! it was not 40 feet from us .. i even saw one of our markers on a tree literally next to this structure and it wasnt there before or we would of seen it~ all the hairs on my body stood straight up and i dragged my brother back from it~ he later would tell me and when he shares his version of this story he says he heard moms voice, she sounded upset and said ~ to get over here now! He did start walking in that direction, now I didnt hear my moms voice , i only heard my own saying, "Run or you are both dead" !!! We ran for so long it was completely dark by the time we saw the real trail and thats when it registered that all the sounds were back and I could hear my dad yelling our names, we met up with him and he scolded us a bit. But when we saw mom was with our baby sister at the camp, who never left, btw, thats when my brother blurted out how we saw stairs in the woods, they laughed ,so i laughed, he was a little upset at me for not saying anything... But honestly, everything in me just said its better to pretend it never happened, ... Unfortunately, it was one of the last times we went cuz that night my mom and dad heard noises around the camp like animals circling and later we found out there were a lot of bear attacking campers so we just went to the lake instead. Of course, by the following summer, I didnt really go with my family, but hung with my future husband and my friends.... Now, at 52, I love to still hike, but I go in groups and have been to Yellowstone in recent years ... I only do day trips now, cuz the first and only time i went camping there, now i didnt see or hear anything, but as soon as the sun went down , I felt that same switch go on~ I am like ... nope.

Anyone that watches missing 411 knows david is sincere with his stories that mostly involve abduction of children and that something strange IS definatly going on..

I had one charge me in Florence Oregon. exactly as described to the red angry eyes. Also heard native drums in the forest around Brinnon WA. I was wandering the woods following the sound then came to my senses and turned around before I was lost.

Being a storyteller is a gift, in the old days before radio or media of any kind, the person who was a storyteller was often the most revered person within human settlements, centuries of an art form that you and MRBallen have in spades. Lucky us.

I am at Yellowstone as I’m typing this, I unfortunately got pneumonia when I got here and I just wanted to thank you because your videos have kept me entertained since I can’t do much hiking with my family. I plan on becoming a park ranger in my near future since it’s been a dream of mine for years.

i do so love your story telling. Intriguing how the monster in this one so resembles a druid from WoW lol, its cool though, like i said, your an amazing story teller and absolutly my favorite!

I appreciate how articulate you are in your speech. Good Form Bro.

30:28 there was a alleged Government "insider" who was interviewed a few times by a cryptid channel whose been around a few years and he said the military was using Dogmen they had chipped and trained and intended to use as soldiers and whatnot but some had escaped so if this story is true then perhaps that other story was too. These ppl usually have to sign something saying they won't talk about what occurred but hopefully more will come out because although I don't know if this channel vets or the story is true, I do definitely believe that the Govt is shady af and is capable of splicing DNA and creating killing machines for war and even against their own.. if you trust your government.. you haven't done your homework

Absolutely AMAZING story. Very well told. *Sidenote: my theory on the military "vanishing" overnight - they left underground. Either underground tunnels already existed or they bored them out with whatever machinery they brought.

When I was a kid our family went on a camping trip to Jellystone park. The first night we settled down to get a good night's sleep. The next morning we woke up to discover our picnic basket was missing.

Thank for your Courage in exposing the details and wish you all the best.

Wow! Completely blown away. This episode really cleared up what is going on in National Parks. I am so glad that you survived working there. Most horrifying podcast ever!

I have never been to Yellowstone. I live in the Yukon Territory in the far north of Canada. My son had an experience with one of the cone headed big foots. He saw the being and the being saw him. They eyeballed each other then something totally unexpected happened. The being shape shifted into a wood bison and ran away. So either the being actually shape shifted or made my son believe that he had is a mystery. But if they can shape shift then that's why nobody actually catches one. I think there are many types of beings out there and they may be interdimental or something else.....but there are stranger things on Earth and in Heaven than we will ever know according to the Bard.

You did another great job at story telling! Keep up the great work! I like your style!

I would have named this "Yellowstone My Greatest Episode" Its definitely my favorite episode. Actually, there are other episodes that are absolutely amazing and make me feel like i was there, but this one helps give an entirely new level of awareness of the subject thats honestly very needed. So much so that I'm actually surprised this video is still on UKposts, which unfortunately doesn't say to much of those who run the show or to much of us for allowing this to be the case, but regardless im glad this is here waking people up, so thank you* 🕊

In my perception, the Rangers stories are the most valid. This is because they are trained in a high level of Critical thinking...they have emotions but depress them because the facts and proof to back a narrative needs to be fair and impartial. So, when the forest rangers have experiences like this and relate them, I put alot of value in their observations .

I saw something in yellowstone that has always haunted me. This video is terrifying but knowing I'm not alone is somewhat comforting. I need to know everything now.

Bravo! Your storytelling skills have totally levelled up! Much more natural delivery and inflection, very engaging! What a leap forward!

I just found this video. Your complete story had me on the edge of my seat. I didn't move from my chair. Even though you loved your job, I totalky understand why you eventually had to give up what you loved most. I have no doubt that all you said really happened. It's not the first time in my life that I've heard of government cover-ups. What a story, thank you for sharing this video. I saved it and was already subscribed to your channel. I'm glad that you are safe. 🤗

What about the invisible ‘predator’ like entity that quite a few people have experienced in national parks? A group of hunters saw one chasing a herd of deer. Another hunter saw falling rocks and looked, and there was this invisible or see through entity coming down a nearby slope. I spoke to a man who saw one, as he was sitting on his porch one evening, he noticed it moving along a tree line and couldn’t believe his eyes. It was just like the predator in the film is how he described it. I wonder how many others have seen this and not told a soul? After all, who’s going to believe you? What if they normally take deer? Deer wouldn’t be missed. We’d never know. But what if it takes Lone humans when the opportunity arises? That’s when we hear of someone going missing. This thing is out there. And I wouldn’t advise approaching it.

While being in a truck stop west of Alberqurqee I was talking to another trucker who had retired as an Indiana state trooper. He told me about a sheriff who had been in a national park ( without his sidearm); and three soldiers that spoke Yugoslavian, wearing NATO colors on their shoulders beat the sheriff half to death while telling him that own 'this place'. And to 'never come back'. He crawled back to his vehicle and drove himself to the hospital. When he got out he relates to his superiors what happened. Seems, like the feds found out about this the sheriff dissappeared: never to be found. The mystery was never, solved nor his remains found. This retired trooper also relayed that our national parks and forests that have these tunnels have very high military traffic, in and out, especially at nite.

Thanks for another AMAZING video!!! I LOVE this channel !!!

Man I love your channel thanks again for another awesome story 👍

Good Lord my dude your story telling skills really shined on this one! Had legit heebie jeebies during certain parts.😮

Wow...this is not a surprise to me. Too many people come up missing every day..week..year in every park in the U.S. I will tell you this tho...everyone involved...and not those being threatened...but the ones higher up...well they need to be held accountable in the Military courts and tribunals. No one is above the law...period. Awesome show and channel. You had my undivided attention. !!!!!!!

I dont subscribe to many channels on this site but the way you speak and the stories of truth you reveal, has made me such a fan, I am saying this to you on a video you probably will not see the comments on any longer. I just subscribed.

I would be worried about myself even now there’s so much we have learned about as time has going on that the government tries to hide from us, you were still in danger for saying anything. I hope you’ll be OK and that God will keep you safe. Thank you for sharing your story.

I am from North East State of India, known as 'Mizoram' ,we are tribal people and our ancestors used to be head hunters. A person who is a great warrior and great hunter are used to be known as 'Pasaltha' in our language , it is one of the most prestigious title a person can be bestowed upon.After the British invade and occupy us (as there are no valuable materials and the people are considered as savages) the British Govt was not interested in our land, and pretty much left us alone, even after occupying our neighbouring country like Cachar, now known as Silchar, Assam district . But The problem is that our ancestors, who fiercely protect our native land and regard these British plantation owners as their arch enemy who encroach and destroy their beloved hunting grounds for their tea plantations. They constantly harassed and often killed the plantation workers sabotaging and salvaging anything from these invaders. Still the British Govt. left them pretty much alone mainly because our land is very very hilly and covered with thick virgin forest, and our ancestor use guerilla style of fighting and melt away in the thick forest after conducting a quick and deadly attack so they just deny or ignore their presence. But The British Govt. can no longer ignore them after a raiding party attack a tea plantation killing Mr.Winchester, who is a plantation owner and a prominent British citizen and also kidnap her young daughter, Mary Winchester. So a huge expeditionary force was lead to rescue Mary Winchester and occupy the troublesome Mizo head hunter tribes, and as they say the rest is history. (Sorry for the boring history lesson)😃 Our state is 99% Christian now (thanks to the Welsh missionaries) , and we are also the second most educated state in India. Much of our forest is destroyed now, but sometimes very strange things are still happening in the rural areas where few of the dense forest are still there and people are still very very superstitious, which I luckily or unluckily discovered the reason why and it changed my outlook forever towards the paranormal and the un-explained. It was the year 2001 ,and we went to a very rural and remote village where we still have a family members residing and one of my uncle is a full fledge bad ass and an excellent hunter. I was still very young and even though I was a good shot I am still very much a novice and very in-experience hunter, that is the reason why I went through such a length to hunt with my experienced hunter uncle even though there was no proper road or electricity at the village. I was so exited that when we reached our destination by trekking with all our gears We promptly went to the forest and made camp, not even resting for the night. But strangely we don't have any luck for two days and I was a little bit down. Noticing this , my uncle who knew the forest like the back of his hand took me to his private hunting ground, at least that's what he said to me because only a few hunters knew this particular area and hardly went hunting so our chance of success was very high. He don't want to take me to this area before because it was very far away even from our camping area and sometimes very strange things often happens.. After having our breakfast , we went to a pathway leading to a small lake and lots of animal tracks can be seen. But strangely on that day the forest was completely silent, even eery because not even a bird were chattering. After about three hours which was like an eternity for me, we heard a sound... It's coming closer and closer and by the sound of it even a novice hunter like me can knows that it was a big animal. Then it came..it was a very big Sambar Deer, the biggest I have ever seen before or after..The forest is so thick that visibility was not too good, and my uncle was about 30 to 40 feet away from me. I was raising my rifle so that I will be able to shoot my target as soon as possible, it was coming closer and closer, my finger was on the trigger and I was nervous as hell, I don't know why I was so nervous but the reason of my nervousness was soon answered. My Uncle was signaling me by imitating a birds call maybe because he saw how nervous I am and he was signalling me not to shoot, I was looking at my uncle and was a little bit annoyed because I'am dying to shoot at this Sambar deer. From his position his angle is much better and he can clearly see the deer way before me, but as he was not shooting it I assume that he was giving me a chance to shoot that Sambar giant giving me a chance to brag for a lifetime, but when I saw his face and looked at the Sambar deer again everything completely changed.. On top of the big Sambar Deer a young naked boy was sitting there smiling !! We are now so close that I can even smell their scent, and it was a very strange smell, like a rotting meat or something. I was so shocked that fear was yet not on my mind, it came much later and all the while my uncle was signaling me not to shoot. The strange Sambar Deer and its strange rider slowly passes the place where i was sitting and after drinking the water they slowly and majestically get back to the path where they came from and disappear in the forest. It will not even be 5 minutes after the strange duo disappear the forest came back to life again suddenly ..birds were chirping away and squirrels are running and playing. And after a short while we easily shot 3 deers and 2 boars. Back at the camp I asked my Uncle all kinds of question about the strange thing we just encounter .But the only thing he told me was never to shoot let alone disturbed the sambar and it's rider even if I ever saw it again, he softly said, 'This is their area, if you offend them you will not only be unsuccessful in the hunt but you can even lost your life'. No matter how hard I tried and asked about our strange adventure my old Uncle don't want to say say anything else, he just smiled thinly and said, 'Welcome to the league my boy"..

I don’t necessarily believe all the stories, but you’re a fantastic story teller, I just can’t stop listening. (This is the first time that I wrote a comment in my life!)

You are the best story teller ive ever heard. Telling about the people that were found dead or alive in the forest.

Guaranteed it's all true! Missing 411 gives you all the true facts! Great storytelling!

Great story man, I started watching at 1am....by 1:30 by window shades were closed (to keep creatures from peeping in) and I am not going outside to sit like I usually do....I live next to the woods in Arkansas, the tree line encroaches up to 20ft from by backdoor. I stayin put until I feel safe...like when the sun is up.

Thank you for this channel. This is an extremely detailed account of what happened as your time as a ranger/SAR. I've read all of David Paulides' books and what you both say makes perfect sense to me. My late mum used to holiday at Katoomba in NSW in Australia and she used to hear rumblings from beneath the earth, strange lights and also she saw a humanoid/wolf hybrid one time near the Blue Mountains. She tried to tell the police at the time but they didn't want to hear from a 'superstitious, uneducated Gypsy girl' (Dunno about uneducated, mum was an art historian). Yes, even here in Australia, we have these hybrids too.

Thank you for sharing what you and I know you probably shouldn't of. God be with you always. I love your channel, and your stories. Again thanks.

This video is my favorite storytime that he has done. I got a lot of questions ive personally had kind of answered. Well.... in a sense. This was an incredible video. The story about the dog man family if true answers some things ive often wondered. Was dog man a hell hound not entirely of this world or did they mate for life. That dog man that had scars must have fought off other creatures like it. What else could cause such scars on such a creature. Probably fighting for dominance for its mate. And theyre apparently smart enough amd have their own tech. The pulsating green light amd whatever the bear people had. I would like to know what that sleep thing was tho. Im a chronic insomniac. Such a thing would be great. Unless the guy was just knocked over the head with a bar. Which could explain why he wasnt doing to good. Is it wrong for me to think it would be sad if the dog man family got hurt by the military. Seems they werent responsible for the deaths. 3 people were allowed to run away from them and they were staying near the den. I think all these experiences happen because theyre territorial. Cus theres plenty of things for them to eat. Imagine ur diet having bison. Ive had bison. Bison is fkn amazing.

Here in the state of São Paulo, Brasil, there is a city called Joanopolis that sits in a mountain area with dense forests. It attracts tourists because of it’s famous werewolf sights. A friend had a farm in that region and one of his workers, a big, tall and very strong guy said he saw it one night and it was the most scary experience of his life. So much so that he never went out in the woods at night after that. It seems these creatures live all over the world in remote areas.

I am a deep believer in the paranormal. I've had MANY experiences throughout my entire life. You really got my attention when you brought up the Military and Secret Service looking guy's. I connected the dots a few years ago that the creatures I've encountered have ALOT to do with the Government . There are MANY things I'm sure, that the Government doesn't want us to know.

You are amazing . Great communicator.GOD BLESS YOU . PLEASE DTAY SAFE AND DO NOT TRUST ANYONE.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹

Sir, you are such an awesome storyteller that I was actually there!! Thank you!!

I believe everything that was shared in this video. All I can say is this... everyone who helps keep this hidden, quiet, and covered up is just as guilty as those who are killing these people that are "presumed missing!" And will have to answer to God on judgment day!

Thank you for sharing. It was nice to finally get some truth from someone who knows.

I like your video. Starting next month i will be leading kayak tours on Yellowstone lake, very excited, im also a believer in the strange. But yeah nice video, youre like a healthy balance between justin whang and mr ballen lol

When I had U.S Embassy duty in Thailand back in the late 1970s I became friends with two field operatives of a US Intelligence agency we were drinking and partying buddies they told me some really strange and off the wall stories that happened in the golden triangle which was control by warlords and drug lords one of there story about coming across an opium camp that was being used for moving drugs they came into the camp with a Thai special force unit and found everyone dead over 50 bodies many of them were ripped to shreds by some kind of animal and there were hundreds of shell cases all over the ground and many of the dead had body parts missing the Thai soldiers were scared shirtless they said we must leave now one said something about some a creature call Pishacha would return to eat my friend Dave ask them about what happened they would not talk about it, this story was told to me back in 1970,s what can remember about it so keep your opinions and remarks to yourself,

It's funny that I never really had a desire to ever go camping. I read many ancient Indian stories to never be out in the woods alone. I'm so happy that you shared your insights.

I'm glad people like you come out and speak the truth. Respect brother.

Problem with the first story. The LAST wolf pack near or in Yellowstone was killed in 1926. They were only reintroduced (to much protest and fearmongering by ranchers) in 1995. It was a fairly big deal. So in 1989 there were not, in fact, 'plenty of wolves' in Yellowstone or the surrounding area. The wolf fear mongering is evident also. Wolves very, very rarely attack humans.

Nice work with story. It had me on the edge of my set. I grew up Nor Cal and spent a lot of time in the Bluff Creek area. There were a lot of my friends were First Nations and we grew up with the stories of hairy man and Indian devils in the woods around the reservation. Lots and lots of scary stories. Thank you for the great reminders of my youth.

Aww you really do love us! Thank you so much! I was laying down and looking forward to one of my favorite channels to pay some! Low n behold it was my favorite channel..! 💜🙏💕🥰💕🙏❤️

. EXCELLENT ! Absolutely EXCELLENT ! Excellent Campfire Stories to be heard at any campfire gathering when camping at any of our forested national or state parks ! 🤠👍 Enjoy !

The yellow stone gps commercial killed me

This is absolutely terrifying my mom wants to go to Yellowstone and has been for a long time now I am a firm believer in paranormal and weird things as me and my son seen up close and personal something we could not explain on our very busy inner city home with plenty of people and traffic nevertheless this story seals the deal for me and I appreciate you bringing this to the public for them to know what really goes on in that big old park everyone seems to think is worth the trip, thank you so much.
