00:06of our latest videos this happened last year during a school camping trip in british columbia

00:11i was 15 at the time and it was our final trip before summer break the school took us to a

00:17forested campground near a lake the place was far from any town with only basic facilities

00:22there was a fire pit in the center a storage cabin near the trail and a shared washroom

00:28shed at the edge of the camp i was in a group with four other girls emily lauren ava and brooke

00:34we were all in the same class and got assigned to the same tent after orientation and a short hike to

00:40a waterfall we returned to the main camp for dinner once the fire was lit everyone gathered around

00:46now our tent was set up near the tree line a little farther from the fire than most behind us was a low

00:52ridge covered in trees and at night you could see its outline in the moonlight i sat with my group

00:58on a log facing that direction while everyone was distracted by a card game i noticed something

01:03standing on the ridge it looked like a person i blinked a few times thinking it was just a tree

01:09or a trick of the shadows but each time i looked the shape remained i leaned slightly forward and kept

01:15watching it lauren asked what i was looking at i told her there was something near the ridge

01:20she looked for a moment but said it was probably nothing the others returned to their conversations

01:25and i turned away from the ridge then later that night we got into our tent and prepared to sleep

01:31it was cold and the ground was hard but we eventually settled in around four in the morning

01:36i woke up as i needed to use the bathroom i unzipped my sleeping bag took my flashlight and stepped outside

01:43the air was much colder than i expected i walked straight to the washroom shed without looking toward

01:49the ridge i stayed inside only as long as i needed to then returned to the tent i lay back down and

01:55pulled the bag over my shoulders i eventually drifted off again in the morning we followed the

02:00usual schedule the instructors began organizing small groups for canoeing and hiking after a full

02:06day of hiking canoeing and gathering wood most students were tired by the time we finished dinner

02:12my group had stayed near the fire pit after cleaning up sitting in the same place as the night before

02:17i didn't want to look toward the ridge again but at some point during the evening i did and it was

02:22still there the shape stood in the same spot facing the same direction but i didn't say anything this

02:28time the group around the fire was louder than the night before but to me it felt like everything had

02:34gone quiet when the fire started to die down one of the instructors asked everyone to get ready for bed

02:40some groups lingered for a bit but most went back to their tents then early the next morning just

02:46after sunrise i stepped out of the tent to stretch as i walked around to the back of our tent i noticed

02:52something weird there were footprints in the dirt big ones going around the back and off toward the

02:57woods they weren't from any of us i stood there for a while trying to make sense of it then i went

03:03back inside and waited until emily woke up when she did i told her what i saw she came out with me and

03:09looked at the ground and said it was probably one of the instructors walking around during the night

03:14maybe checking on us but it didn't feel like a proper explanation so i told one of the teachers

03:19anyway he walked over glanced at the prints and said it was likely one of the adults but none of

03:25the other tents had prints behind them and also no one mentioned doing rounds in that part of the site

03:30then later that morning an announcement was made that the trip would be ending early

03:35the instructors said rain was expected and it was better to pack up and leave before the weather

03:40changed as we left i looked back one last time but this time i didn't see anything standing there

03:46anymore but i wasn't sure that meant it was gone back home i unpacked my clothes and left the bag in

03:52the corner of my room i didn't mention much to my parents just that it was fine and we came back early

03:58because of possible rain over the next few days things went back to normal and i didn't look up the

04:03campsite again but since then i haven't gone on another trip this happened two summers ago i was

04:1021 and in university five of us planned a camping trip before our final year started we wanted to

04:16get away from the city and spend a quiet weekend in the woods it was me ava my roommate liam who i'd

04:22known since high school and mark who always had something sarcastic to say and jess who joined last

04:28minute when her other plans got cancelled mark had heard about a spot deep in fern ridge forest he said

04:34it was nice and good for camping we parked the car by a service road and hiked a few miles in it took

04:40about three hours with all our gear the campsite was just a flat clearing surrounded by trees we set up

04:46camp gathered some wood and got the fire going then mark tried to tell a scary story but sadly none of us

04:53took it seriously in the morning we walked along a nearby trail it was narrow and overgrown in some

04:59parts but it led to a dry slope and a few fallen logs we took a few photos came back and spent the

05:05afternoon resting and by evening we were sitting around the fire again that's when jess suggested a

05:10game she said everyone should tell one secret they've never told anyone before like something real

05:16not just jokes mark went first and said he had cheated on a math test in high school

05:21then ava admitted she used to like liam during our first year jess talked about an embarrassing

05:26moment she had at a birthday party when she was a kid then it was liam's turn he just stared at

05:32the fire for a few seconds when i was a kid i saw something in the woods it looked like a person but it

05:38wasn't i was maybe nine or ten my family stayed at a cabin near some woods for a week i'd go exploring

05:44by myself sometimes one afternoon i followed a small creek i thought i heard something on the other side

05:51so i crossed this old wooden footbridge and that's when i saw it it was standing by the creek and

05:56looked like a person but it didn't move its arms were too long and it kept its head turned slightly

06:02like it was watching without looking at me directly i just stood there and watched it back then i turned

06:07and walked away but i didn't tell anyone mark asked what the place looked like liam said there was a

06:13narrow creek with a broken footbridge and a tree nearby that bent in a hook shape like the top had curled

06:19over that's when ava froze she was sitting beside me and suddenly tensed up that sounds like the trail

06:25we walked today she said at first we thought she was kidding but her face said otherwise she described

06:31the path near the fallen logs the bend in the creek and the tree we passed earlier just looked around

06:37then said it had to be a coincidence the woods were full of weird trees and maybe liam's memory just

06:43lined up by chance eventually we all went to bed i shared a tent with ava she didn't talk much while

06:49we got ready for sleep i could tell she was still thinking about what liam said sometime in the night

06:55i woke up at first i thought it was nothing but then i heard something outside like someone walking

07:00in circles just beyond the tents it just kept going like whoever it was knew we were listening and didn't

07:06care ava whispered my name once barely loud enough to hear and i knew she was awake too neither of us

07:13said anything else eventually the sound faded and everything went quiet again in the morning nobody

07:19said much we packed our things like normal but it felt like everyone was waiting for someone else to

07:24speak first jess said she thought she heard water moving nearby like something stepping in the creek

07:30mark mentioned footsteps but said it was probably one of us going to use the trees

07:35then liam said we should check the trail again just for a minute and we followed him without asking

07:40why when we reached the creek it looked exactly how liam had described it that's when we noticed it

07:46across the water just a few feet from the base of the tree was a small stack of rocks shaped like a

07:52person now it hadn't been there yesterday none of us got closer and we just walked back to camp

07:58we packed everything and got ready to leave nobody talked much but we all knew we were done

08:04since then we haven't talked about that trip some of us still keep in touch but it's different now

08:09like something changed out there and i don't think any of us ever fully shook it off to understand what

08:15happened that summer i need to take you back to 1993 i was 12 and my brother nathan had just turned 14.

08:22we lived in a small town in northern california and back then kids spent most of the day outside

08:28our dog bolt went everywhere with us my parents were both teachers and when school was out for

08:34summer they gave us plenty of freedom as long as we were home before dark they trusted us to run

08:39around and explore one place nathan and i always ended up at was the old railroad bridge it had been

08:46out of use for years stretched over a dried up creek bed just outside the edge of town it became ours

08:52a spot we could hang out without being bothered we used to sit on the edge of the bridge and toss rocks

08:57down into the dirt below sometimes we'd bring sandwiches and stay for hours under the bridge

09:03was a good place to cool off when it got too hot we'd bring a flashlight down there once in a while

09:08to look around but we never saw anything besides broken bottles graffiti and animal bones then one

09:14tuesday afternoon nathan and i took bolt out like usual i think we were arguing over who was better at

09:20nintendo when we got to the bridge bolt ran up ahead like he always did but this time he stopped

09:25completely then the hair on his back went up and he let out this low growl nathan and i both stopped

09:31walking i asked what he saw but bolt didn't move i walked up next to him and looked down under the

09:37bridge at first i thought it was just shadows but something was there it was too far back maybe 30

09:43feet in but it looked like someone crouching down facing the wall nathan stepped beside me and

09:48called out toward the shadows but there was no reply then the person shifted just a small movement

09:54like turning their head slightly i didn't see his face just enough to know it was a man bolt started

10:00barking nathan pulled on my arm and said we should go i didn't argue we turned and walked fast back up

10:06the trail but that feeling didn't leave right away like we'd seen something we weren't supposed to

10:12we didn't tell our parents and i don't know why maybe because it didn't feel dangerous at the time

10:17maybe we thought we'd get in trouble for going under the bridge or maybe we just didn't know how to

10:22explain it on thursday morning we took the trail again and this time we brought a flashlight with us

10:28thinking we might check under the bridge more carefully from above the space under the bridge

10:33looked empty the shadows were still deep and we couldn't see the far corners the dirt was packed

10:39hard and the concrete pillars were damp in places at first nothing seemed different but when we turned

10:45on the flashlight and swept it across the walls we saw marks on the concrete they weren't spray-painted

10:51they were drawn in chalk circles triangles and stick figures repeated again and again

10:56one of the bridge supports had dozens of short lines scratched in a row

11:00like someone had been counting something we didn't stay
