00:00So we are back at the creepy abandoned church in the woods
00:30On June 6th, 2025, a YouTuber known online as Dundee Hikes
00:40set off from Ellipse Saddle, embarking on yet another solo adventure
00:44through the remote and tranquil mountains of California.
00:48His channel had long been a quiet refuge for viewers,
00:51offering calming nature walks, serene camping spots,
00:54and a sense of peace often absent in daily life.
00:57Dundee's videos rarely deviated from this meditative tone,
01:01his narration calm, his camera lingering on the slow rhythm of wilderness.
01:05But on this particular day, something changed.
01:08The journey he intended to share as another peaceful exploration
01:11quickly turned into a harrowing experience that no hiker ever hopes to encounter.
01:16So it's been a couple days since this incident happened
01:20and I thought I would try to give you a more coherent account of what happened
01:26than just the videos show.
01:28I'll show you the videos after I finish talking.
01:31There's nothing graphic in there, so no need to worry about that.
01:36Anyway, I broke camp at Islip Saddle
01:39and I decided to do like a mile more of road walk before joining the PCT again.
01:46As I approached the Javis Memorial Picnic Ground,
01:51I noticed there was a single car in the parking lot
01:54and it was backed up to the edge.
01:58But what really caught my attention was that the back tires were way up on the embankment.
02:04So that caused me to walk over and take a closer look.
02:08And that's when I noticed the rope that was tied to the back
02:12and disappearing over the edge.
02:14As he made his way back toward the Pacific Crest Trail,
02:18Dundee passed by a picnic area he had visited before.
02:21An isolated, quiet spot nestled near the tree line.
02:24But this time, something felt wrong.
02:27Only one vehicle was in the lot, positioned oddly.
02:30Its rear tires perched awkwardly on a slope.
02:33The angle of the car immediately drew his attention.
02:35It looked intentional, as if someone had reversed it into that exact spot with purpose.
02:40Suspicious, Dundee cautiously approached.
02:43At the back of the car, a rope was tied tightly to the chassis,
02:47snaking down over the edge of the embankment.
02:49He began recording a short video,
02:51casually commenting on the strange scene, still unsure what he was looking at.
02:55For a moment, he turned to walk away,
02:57trying to dismiss the growing tension.
02:59But instincts stopped him cold.
03:00That caused me to walk over and take a closer look.
03:04And that's when I noticed the rope that was tied to the back and disappearing over the edge.
03:12And, you know, I really didn't even think anything about it at that moment.
03:16And, you know, I pulled out my camera and I took a little video.
03:20Something like, hey, look at this.
03:22This is weird.
03:23I guess I'll never know what was going on here.
03:26And I started to walk away.
03:28And then my curiosity got the better of me.
03:32So I dropped my pack and I grabbed the rope and shuffled down to the edge.
03:40And that's when I saw the guy with the rope tied around his neck.
03:45I didn't really spend a lot of time gawking at him.
03:50I didn't take any pictures.
03:52I kind of stupidly shouted hello a few times,
03:55like he's going to open his eyes and say, just kidding or something.
03:59But then I hustled back up to the parking lot
04:03and tried to figure out what I was going to do because I had no service.
04:08He returned to look again and froze.
04:11What he saw was the motionless body of a man hanging at the end of the rope,
04:15his neck bound, swaying slightly in the still air.
04:18It didn't look staged.
04:19It didn't feel like a hoax.
04:21In a panic, Dundee called out,
04:23hoping that somehow, impossibly, the man would respond.
04:27But there was only silence.
04:28With no phone service in the remote location,
04:31Dundee sprinted back to his campsite,
04:34heart pounding, adrenaline coursing through him.
04:37There, he retrieved his in-reach emergency device,
04:40a satellite communication tool for situations just like this,
04:44and sent an alert to the nearest camp host
04:46with the exact coordinates and a brief description of what he had discovered.
04:50Well, all the rest of them got on scene here.
05:02I gave my statement to the sheriff,
05:04and they said they don't need anything else from me,
05:07so I'm moving on.
05:09And they asked me not to leave, so, okay.
05:14So, apparently, they want me to wait until homicide gets here
05:19and make sure it wasn't a murder.
05:21I got an update from the sheriff,
05:24and he basically said that fire and rescue showed up,
05:28said, yeah, he's dead, and left.
05:30Now, there's someone else.
05:33I think it's crime scene, possibly,
05:37but they're going to go down and actually examine the body
05:40and try to determine if it was self-inflicted or not.
05:45Less than an hour later,
05:47a rescue helicopter appeared overhead,
05:49circling the scene,
05:51but unable to land due to the terrain.
05:53Ground units soon followed.
05:55Firefighters,
05:56sheriff's deputies,
05:57homicide investigators.
05:59Standard procedure required Dundee to remain at the scene as a witness.
06:03He wasn't treated as a suspect,
06:05but the weight of what he had uncovered couldn't be ignored.
06:08The body was eventually recovered,
06:09and investigators spent hours examining the rope,
06:13the car,
06:14and the surrounding area
06:15to determine whether the man's death had been a suicide
06:17or something more sinister.
06:20The final report was never made public.
06:22For Dundee, however,
06:23the trauma was deeply personal.
06:25He had come to the mountain searching for solitude,
06:28for peace.
06:29Instead, he found something that would haunt him.
06:31As the video ends,
06:32Dundee speaks directly to his viewers,
06:35voice heavy with emotion.
06:36If you're in a dark place,
06:38please talk to someone.
06:40It's just a bad day,
06:42not a bad life.
06:43For most,
06:43it's a gentle reminder.
06:45But for those who wander the wilds alone,
06:47far from help and surrounded by silence,
06:50those words hit in a much more chilling way.
06:53Because even in the deep wilderness,
06:56some things still manage to find you.
06:57For Dan,
06:59life on the road had become a way of being.
07:03An ever-shifting blend of freedom,
07:05solitude,
07:07and daily improvisation.
07:08As a full-time van dweller
07:09and the voice behind the YouTube channel,
07:12Dan's Van Life,
07:13he had spent months chronicling his journey
07:15across the American Midwest.
07:17Living out of his converted van
07:18and chasing the promise of open skies
07:20and endless highways,
07:22he had already faced his fair share of challenges,
07:24pulling ticks out of his legs
07:26after hikes through overgrown trails,
07:28fending off a would-be burglar
07:30in a gas station parking lot outside Omaha,
07:33and weathering unexpected snow
07:35in the Colorado Highlands.
07:37Through it all,
07:38Dan kept rolling,
07:39documenting both the struggles
07:41and the small moments of joy
07:42that made the lifestyle worth it.
07:44But nothing,
07:45not the isolation,
07:47not the unpredictability,
07:48not even the occasional danger,
07:50had prepared him for what would unfold
07:52on the evening of August 4th, 2023.
07:56So I think today,
07:57I took a couple days off
07:58of editing and filming,
08:00just kind of let myself recharge a little.
08:02I need to get a video completely edited today,
08:04start to finish.
08:05So we are going to take my laptop,
08:08the grill lot.
08:09You know, the van's still kind of messy
08:10from last night.
08:11And we're going to go sit in the park
08:12and edit the video
08:13up in the beautiful park
08:15with the mountain atmosphere
08:16and the people walking around
08:17and should make it
08:18a little more fun than usual.
08:19Got an iced coffee from McDonald's.
08:22Cassie got kicked out of McDonald's.
08:24The worker wasn't happy
08:25that I brought her in,
08:26but I couldn't care less
08:27what a McDonald's worker thinks.
08:38That morning was calm and familiar.
08:41Dan had found a shaded spot
08:42at a local park
08:43where the signal was strong enough
08:44to upload footage without interruption.
08:46He set up his small folding table,
08:48opened his laptop,
08:50and began editing clips
08:51from the previous day.
08:52A chilled iced coffee
08:53from a nearby cafe sat beside him,
08:56condensation dripping slowly down the cup.
08:59His dog Cassie,
09:00always close,
09:02stretched out on a patch of grass
09:03just a few feet away,
09:05occasionally lifting her head
09:06at the sound of passing joggers.
09:08It was the kind of peaceful start
09:09he'd grown to appreciate.
09:11Quiet, productive,
09:12and unremarkable.
09:13I'll do a little after-dinner walk,
09:16take a walk up this road,
09:17see if maybe there's a better viewpoint
09:18of the mountain behind me,
09:20and just check it out.
09:22Kind of cool right off the bat.
09:24It's like horse choke.
09:25There's either a moose
09:27or a horse right outside
09:29of the van right now.
09:30And he just made a scary noise
09:31or a bear.
09:34Holy shit.
09:35There's a bear
09:36right outside the van.
09:38Hey, bear!
09:39He's huge.
09:41He's huge.
09:43If I wouldn't have said something,
09:44he was gonna go in the van.
09:46If I wouldn't have hollered,
09:47hey, bear,
09:48he was about to walk his way
09:50right into the van.
09:51Stay.
09:55Cassie, sit.
09:56Sit.
09:57Later that day,
09:59Dan chose a remote campsite
10:00deep in the Colorado wilderness,
10:03far from highways
10:03and other travelers.
10:05It was the kind of spot
10:06he preferred.
10:07Isolated.
10:08Quiet.
10:09Surrounded by tall pines
10:10and open sky.
10:11The rain that had swept
10:12through earlier had cleared,
10:14leaving the air crisp
10:15and the ground damp
10:16with the scent
10:17of pine needles and earth.
10:18His van sat alone
10:19on a narrow dirt pull-off.
10:21No other lights
10:22or vehicles in sight.
10:23After settling in,
10:25he cooked a quick dinner
10:25on his portable stove,
10:27then leashed Cassie
10:28for a short evening walk
10:29along a nearby trail.
10:31The forest was calm,
10:32almost unnervingly still.
10:34But as they made their way
10:35back toward the van,
10:36a sudden, low,
10:37snorting noise
10:38echoed from the trees.
10:39Dan stopped in his tracks.
10:41Cassie's ears perked.
10:43The peace of the evening
10:44shattered in an instant.
10:45The second I walk away,
10:47what are the odds
10:48that the second I walk away
10:49from a van,
10:50the van,
10:51a bear just comes
10:52strolling in.
10:53What are the odds, dude?
10:54I could have stepped out
10:55the door right into his face.
10:57I could have went
10:58eye to eye with that thing.
10:59I heard a weird snort noise
11:01when I was walking up
11:02the trail and looked back,
11:04and I could see him
11:05through the trees,
11:05like, looking in.
11:06If I let go,
11:07she would chase him
11:08all the way down.
11:09He was pretty scared
11:10of us, though.
11:10That's good.
11:11I didn't get the greatest
11:12video of him by the van
11:13because I was preparing
11:14until I realized
11:15that he was looking
11:16pretty docile,
11:16so I put away
11:17the other thing
11:18and aimed the camera
11:19at him.
11:20Glad that I got
11:21some of it on footage.
11:22He was huge, man.
11:24All right, Cassie,
11:25you know what?
11:25That's actually,
11:26we're not about
11:27to walk in the forest.
11:28You know,
11:28I came out here
11:29at this time of night
11:29thinking,
11:30it is the time of night
11:31you might see an animal.
11:32I'm glad all I had
11:32to do was holler at him.
11:35Dude,
11:35like,
11:35that was like destiny.
11:36If I could have walked,
11:37if that bear
11:38would have been
11:38one minute behind schedule,
11:40me and Cassie
11:41would have been
11:41up the road
11:42far enough
11:42to where I wouldn't
11:43have saw him
11:43or heard him.
11:45And I could have
11:45came back to the van
11:46and, like,
11:47totaled from a bear.
11:48Turning his head,
11:49he saw it,
11:50a massive black bear
11:51no more than 20 feet away,
11:53silently advancing
11:53toward the open door
11:54of his van.
11:55Its fur was slick
11:56and dark
11:57from the earlier rain,
11:58its movement slow
11:59but deliberate
12:00as it sniffed the air
12:01with heavy breaths.
12:02Dan shouted instinctively,
12:04his voice echoing
12:05through the quiet trees.
12:07The bear froze mid-step,
12:09startled but not frightened.
12:10Cassie didn't budge.
12:12She stayed rooted
12:13beside Dan,
12:14calm and focused,
12:15just as she had been trained.
12:17The bear appeared
12:18more curious
12:19than aggressive,
12:20but its size
12:20and proximity
12:21made the danger undeniable.
12:23One minute later,
12:24and it might have been
12:25inside the van,
12:26rummaging through food,
12:28possibly damaging gear,
12:29or worse,
12:30facing Dan
12:31in close quarters.
12:32Dan hadn't been thinking
12:33about his camera.
12:35His only thought
12:35was protecting Cassie.
12:37The footage he managed
12:38to get was shaky
12:38and brief,
12:39but enough to show
12:40how quickly
12:41a peaceful evening
12:42can twist into
12:43something dangerous.
12:44One minute later,
12:46and they might have missed
12:46the warning entirely.
12:48Had Cassie been off-leash,
12:50even a quick movement
12:51could have provoked a chase.
12:52For all his experience
12:53on the road,
12:54Dan knew he'd let
12:55his guard down.
12:56The encounter was short,
12:57no one was hurt,
12:59but it left him
12:59with a lasting message.
13:01Never assume
13:02you're alone out here.
13:04Always close the van door,
13:06always leash your dog,
13:07and always remember,
13:09two minutes
13:09can be the difference
13:10between safety
13:11and something
13:12you never forget.
13:14The dense forests
13:16surrounding Dudleytown,
13:17Connecticut,
13:18have long carried
13:19a sinister reputation,
13:20one woven into the fabric
13:22of local folklore
13:23and whispered with unease.
13:25Stories passed down
13:26through generations
13:27speak of bizarre
13:27and unexplained deaths,
13:29entire settler families
13:31vanishing without a trace,
13:32and ghastly apparitions
13:34seen drifting
13:34between the trees.
13:36Some claim the land
13:37itself is cursed,
13:38poisoned by centuries
13:39of tragedy and unrest,
13:41where even the branches
13:42seem to murmur secrets
13:43when the wind dies down.
13:45For most,
13:46these tales remain just that,
13:48stories meant to scare
13:49or entertain.
13:50But everything shifted
13:51on June 17th, 2006,
13:54when a single video
13:55brought new weight
13:56to the old legends.
13:57On the edge of the forest
13:58along the quiet stretch
13:59of Chase Avenue
14:00stood a modest house
14:02bordering the tree line.
14:03The family who lived there
14:05had long felt
14:06something was wrong.
14:07It began with a presence,
14:09one they couldn't see
14:09but could feel,
14:11a growing tension in the air.
14:12They came to sightings,
14:14a shadowy figure
14:15drifting behind the property,
14:17silent and fluid,
14:18his shape warping
14:19and flickering
14:19like smoke
14:20caught in strobe light.
14:21It didn't walk,
14:23it glided,
14:24and its appearances
14:24were never loud or sudden,
14:26but always just long enough
14:28to be...
14:28The family,
14:30gripped by a rising sense of dread,
14:32decided to document
14:33what they could.
14:34They kept a camera
14:35near the back window,
14:36aimed toward the woods,
14:38hoping to catch proof,
14:39or perhaps,
14:40some peace of mind.
14:42What they recorded
14:42would soon become
14:43one of the most talked about
14:45paranormal clips
14:46of the decades.
14:57No!
14:59What is that?
15:03No way.
15:05No.
15:05No.
15:05What the fuck is that?
15:15Yeah, it's me.
15:15I've just seen that thing.
15:17I've got it.
15:17I've actually got it on camera.
15:19I'll show you when you get home.
15:20Give me a call
15:21as soon as you get this message.
15:22It didn't walk.
15:25It glided.
15:26Silent.
15:27Deliberate.
15:28As if the laws of nature
15:29no longer applied
15:30to whatever this thing was.
15:32Its outline was warped,
15:33shifting in and out of visibility
15:35like a signal struggling
15:36to break through static.
15:37The shape was darker
15:38than its surroundings
15:39but never solid,
15:40like a shadow made of smoke,
15:42flickering at the edge of perception.
15:44Faced with something
15:45they couldn't understand,
15:46and more importantly,
15:47couldn't explain.
15:49The family did what most would
15:50in sheer fear.
15:51They kept a camera ready
15:52at all times.
15:54Days passed without incident,
15:56but then,
15:57on a still,
15:58overcast afternoon
15:59in June,
16:00the figure returned.
16:02And this time,
16:03they captured it.
16:04The recording is just
16:05a few seconds long,
16:06yet it etches itself
16:07into memory.
16:08Between two trees,
16:09the entity materializes.
16:11It doesn't reflect light
16:12the way a solid form would.
16:14No clean silhouette.
16:15No edges.
16:16Just a shifting mass
16:17that seems to shimmer
16:18and pulse,
16:19as if made of thick,
16:20living smoke.
16:22Black,
16:23semi-translucent,
16:24and terrifyingly aware.
16:25Its movement isn't like
16:26any living creature.
16:28It's disconnected from the ground,
16:29gliding forward
16:30without disturbing leaves
16:31or branches,
16:32untouched by gravity or wind.
16:34The camera trembles,
16:36and so does the voice bar.
16:37Half whisper,
16:38half panic,
16:39but the footage holds steady
16:40just long enough
16:41to preserve what was seen.
16:43News spread quickly.
16:44Dudleytown's legend
16:45had always hovered
16:46on the edge
16:47of local paranoia.
16:48But now,
16:49there was proof,
16:50or something close.
16:52In desperate search
16:53of validation or relief,
16:54the family submitted
16:55the footage
16:56to the Institute
16:56of Forensic Parapsychology,
16:58an academic body
16:59known for its rigorous analysis
17:01of paranormal events.
17:02The conclusion?
17:03The video showed
17:04no signs of manipulation,
17:06no glitch artifacts,
17:07no lighting anomalies,
17:09no malfunctioning hardware.
17:11According to multiple
17:12independent analysts,
17:13the figure was truly there.
17:15No one could say what it was,
17:17but nearly all agreed.
17:18The footage was among
17:19the most credible pieces
17:21of paranormal evidence
17:22ever captured.
17:23Still,
17:24the questions remained.
17:25Over the following years,
17:26reports trickled in.
17:28More sightings,
17:29more accounts
17:29of unnatural figures
17:31in the woods,
17:32but nothing ever came close
17:33to this clarity or terror.
17:35And if you watch
17:35the video carefully,
17:37there's one final detail
17:38that chills to the bone.
17:39Behind the entity,
17:41the trees remain perfectly still.
17:42Not a branch sways,
17:44not a single leaf rustles.
17:46As if,
17:47in that moment,
17:48nature itself
17:49was holding its breath.
17:50So what exactly passed
17:51through those woods that day?
17:53And more disturbingly,
17:54why did it come back?
17:57By mid-June 2025,
17:59a solo traveler
18:00known online
18:01as a tiny nomad
18:02found herself well
18:03into an ambitious road trip
18:05across the U.S.
18:07Her sight set
18:07on the vast wilderness
18:09of Alaska.
18:10She was traveling
18:10in her dependable
18:11Toyota 4Runner,
18:13a vehicle that had carried her
18:14through deserts,
18:15mountain passes,
18:16and back roads
18:16without fail.
18:18Until now,
18:19a series of mechanical issues
18:20forced her to step away
18:21from the highway
18:22and pause her momentum.
18:24Instead of pressing onward,
18:25she rerouted to a quiet pocket
18:27of rural Washington state,
18:29hoping to reset her pace
18:30while waiting
18:30on a stubborn car part
18:32that had already failed
18:33to arrive twice.
18:34after covering more than
18:353,000 miles
18:36in under a week,
18:38her body and mind
18:38needed rest
18:39just as much
18:40as her vehicle did.
18:41and a Amanda
18:55has not caused
18:56any confusion
18:56to the house
18:57that intended
18:58her story
19:07She decided to rent a small, secluded cabin hidden deep within the forest.
19:19Wrapped in towering, moss-draped trees and winding trails blanketed in morning mist,
19:24the place felt like something out of a storybook.
19:26Quiet, dreamlike, and untouched by time.
19:30For a moment, it offered exactly what she needed.
19:32Stillness, solitude, and a sense of calm.
19:35But that fragile sense of magic would unravel faster than she ever expected.
19:39I've been laying in bed reading for like half an hour.
19:46And I just heard this like loud knock.
19:50It came from the back of my cabin.
19:53And it scared me to the point.
19:55Immediately jumped up and started looking all around the windows to see if I could like see an animal.
20:00I was like looking for maybe a bear because there is bear around here.
20:05But I couldn't see anything.
20:06I mean, I can only see out of the front of my cabin.
20:09But I'm just feeling like weird and like on edge now.
20:15Especially since to get to like the kitchen in my car, I have to like, it's like a trek.
20:21I mean, when I say a trek, it's about a five minute walk outside of my cabin.
20:27But I have to completely walk through the woods.
20:29Like I can't see my vehicle from here.
20:32Oh, God.
20:33The first full day slipped by gently.
20:36She prepared simple, nourishing meals, inhaled the crisp forest air with each breath, and finally allowed herself the kind of deep sleep she hadn't felt in days.
20:45That night, wrapped in a blanket and lost in the pages of a book, she felt at ease for the first time in a while.
20:51But about 30 minutes later, that comfort shattered.
20:54A sudden, sharp knock rang out from somewhere behind the cabin.
20:59Loud, deliberate, and close.
21:01She bolted upright, heart racing, eyes scanning the windows for movement.
21:06Half convinced a bear had wandered up to the porch.
21:08But there was nothing.
21:10Just the motionless trees and an unsettling silence pressing back at her through the glass.
21:15Then came the realization.
21:16Her car was parked far from the cabin.
21:19Down a narrow path that snaked through the forest.
21:22Easily a five minute walk in complete darkness.
21:25There were no lights.
21:26No nearby houses.
21:27No one to call out to.
21:29That alone was enough to unsettle her.
21:31But then she remembered something else.
21:33Something odd she'd noticed when she first arrived.
21:35I mean...
21:37I don't know.
21:40The camera definitely looks like it hasn't been used in a very long time.
21:45But it's like, why wouldn't they just take it off?
21:48Why is it there?
21:51It just adds to the creepiness of this place, in my opinion.
21:57I don't like it.
21:59I also just discovered there's a shower here.
22:05So I was like, why are...
22:07Why do they have these towels right here?
22:10Like shower towels?
22:11And then when I walked outside, they have an outdoor shower that's completely open.
22:20Right there.
22:22But, I mean, it's completely open.
22:26You know, nothing covering you.
22:28Mounted above the porch was a security camera.
22:31Its dark lens aimed directly at the entryway.
22:34According to the welcome booklet, it was deactivated.
22:37Just a leftover from a past owner.
22:39But its presence, looming silently above the front steps, never sat right with her.
22:44And then there was the outdoor shower.
22:45Awkwardly placed next to the porch with no curtain.
22:49No enclosure.
22:50Nothing to shield her from the open forest.
22:52Anyone.
22:53Or anything.
22:54Watching from the tree line would have a full, unobstructed view.
22:58She never saw a person.
23:00Never heard footsteps or caught movement in the trees.
23:03But the knock, the oddly positioned camera, and the strange vulnerability of the cabin's
23:08layout didn't feel random.
23:09It was too much.
23:11Too exposed.
23:11Was it a curious local, a hiker passing through, or just the creeping weight of isolation playing
23:17tricks on her mind after weeks spent traveling alone?
23:20Whatever the truth was, the experience left her more on edge in that little cabin than she'd
23:25ever felt driving solo through stormy mountain roads or sleeping in unfamiliar parking lots.
23:31She finished out her stay, but the dread never fully left.
23:35No explanation ever came.
23:37The knock remained a mystery.
23:38In the shower, she never touched it.
23:41On the morning of June 21st, 2021, the crew from Paranormal Discovery launched a new expedition
23:48under clear skies in rising anticipation.
23:52Their destination lay deep within Nova Scotia's remote Tangier Wildlands, a region notorious for
23:58decades of whispered Bigfoot sightings and strange activity.
24:01Unlike their usual trips focused on gathering testimonials or revisiting known hotspots, this journey aimed to push the limits.
24:08The team's goal was to reach unexplored mountain zones with no established trails, no maps, and no cell coverage, just dense forest in the unknown.
24:16With night vision cameras, motion sensors, and satellite gear packed tight, they weren't out to chase myths.
24:22They were determined to go farther than ever before, hoping to return with evidence of something no one had definitively captured.
24:29Bigfoot mapping project.
24:30There was actually, I think, in the early 1900s, but then again, someone else said it was, like, pretty recent, the last five years.
24:37But the map had a Sasquatch encounter here.
24:39Someone actually encountered one.
24:41Yeah, marked it down.
24:42So we went hunting for that in the wintertime.
24:44But right now, we're coming back again, so we can actually set up camp and look for one, or it, or whatever.
24:51Really sick.
24:52We got the tarp up.
24:53Didn't film it, because it was actually kind of coming down for a bit.
24:56Yeah, we wanted to just get it up, so we can just have something we can be under at this point of time.
25:01So now that everything is good to go, I think the camping night starts.
25:05We're gonna get everything, the table, the cookers, I don't know about a bonfire, maybe.
25:10But for right now, we got the cookers.
25:12We're gonna make some food.
25:14Kiki, Helika, good girl.
25:18Okay.
25:19So this is the first time I've actually set up this tarp in this configuration.
25:24It looks pretty cool, not gonna lie.
25:26I've never done it before, but I kind of vibe it.
25:29Climbing steadily into the thick forest on that humid June day, the team noticed a distinct change in atmosphere.
25:35With every mile gained in elevation, the quiet grew deeper, more unnatural.
25:40As if the woods themselves were holding their breath.
25:42They no longer felt like they were simply driving through nature.
25:45It felt more like they had crossed into something ancient, untouched, and watchful.
25:50True mountain wilderness brings a different kind of fear.
25:53One that creeps in slowly and settles beneath the skin.
25:56Eventually, they arrived at a place they recognized from a previous trip.
26:00Though now it was nearly unrecognizable.
26:02Swallowed by damp moss and overgrowth left behind by days of rainfall.
26:06Hello?
26:10I'm hearing footsteps in the bushes, man.
26:12Like, on both sides.
26:14This side, and then on this side.
26:17Trying to rationalize like it, like as if it's like a bear or maybe a deer or something.
26:22What the f*** is that sound?
26:25Like, what was that sound?
26:28I heard our cryptid something.
26:31Whatever is here have found us.
26:35Are you a Bigfoot?
26:41Oh my god.
26:43I actually can't even breathe right now.
26:47Oh shit.
26:48Oh shit.
26:49Oh shit.
26:50Oh shit.
26:51I'm having a panic attack.
26:52I'm having a damn panic attack.
26:54Huh.
26:55Huh.
26:56Okay.
26:57As the sun disappeared behind the tree line, the team settled into camp, cooking a simple
27:02dinner over a crackling fire.
27:04They exchanged stories from past expeditions, their laughter rising into the cool night air.
27:09Even Kiki, their usually alert trail dog, appeared relaxed, stretched out near the fire, eyes half-closed, but the comfort of that moment would fade quickly.
27:19Hours later, the lead investigator grabbed his flashlight and camera determined to explore the nearby ridge alone.
27:24The forest had changed, darker, quieter, heavier.
27:29As he moved through the underbrush, a sharp crack echoed behind him, branches snapping, followed by a low, guttural moan that seemed to rise from deep within the trees.
27:37He paused, heart racing, and then he felt it.
27:41Something brushed against his back, cold, deliberate, unmistakably real.
27:47Yeah.
27:48What happened?
27:49Just some weird sounds, really.
27:51Yeah, I also heard some weird sounds, too.
27:54Hey, baby.
27:55Hey.
27:56Yeah, like, unhuman type of sounds.
27:59It was...
28:00Like moaning?
28:01Like something in distress.
28:02Oh.
28:03Like, I heard some really weird, like, moaning.
28:06Oh.
28:07That I've legit, like, never heard before.
28:10Yeah, that was weird.
28:11Yeah.
28:12Something's, like, dying or something in there.
28:15I know, right?
28:16Well, there's, like, a Bigfoot literally so close to us.
28:19Anyways.
28:22Say no.
28:23Say no.
28:24Say no?
28:25Say no to what?
28:27Fetch.
28:28Fetch.
28:29It literally just said fetch.
28:34Can't wait.
28:35I sort of just heard, like, a...
28:36Hunt.
28:37Something just got thrown...
28:38It just said hunt.
28:40Hunt.
28:41Yeah.
28:42Are we being hunted by something?
28:44He sprinted back to the others, adrenaline pumping.
28:47But the strangeness didn't stop.
28:49It intensified.
28:50Moments later, their spirit talker app, previously silent, crackled to life with chilling phrases.
28:57Fetch.
28:58Hunt.
28:59Say no.
29:00The words came through in a mechanical voice.
29:02Cold and emotionless.
29:03Tension spread through the group as inhuman moans echoed through the trees surrounding
29:08them.
29:09They began hearing heavy footsteps pacing around the edge of camp, always just beyond the light,
29:14always where no one stood.
29:16Branches snapped in the darkness with no visible cause.
29:19Someone finally whispered the question no one wanted to ask.
29:22Are we being hunted by something?
29:24Though no creature ever appeared on any of their cameras, the team argued theories late
29:29into the night.
29:30Was it a cryptid?
29:31Something that crossed into our world from another dimension?
29:34Or a lingering spiritual imprint tied to the land itself?
29:38With over 60% of Nova Scotia still wilderness, the idea that something ancient and unknown
29:43could remain hidden didn't seem so far-fetched.
29:46By morning, drained and uneasy, the crew decided to cut the expedition short.
29:52Their footage remained inconclusive, offering no solid proof.
29:55But the sounds, the physical contact, and the words captured on that device, those were
30:00real, and they left with more questions than answers.
30:05Only a few nights prior, the Haunted Finders crew, David, Tom, and Kev, made their way back
30:10to one of the most disturbing sites they'd ever investigated.
30:14A long-abandoned church hidden deep within a forested stretch of land.
30:19The structure carried a heavy history, whispered among locals for years, and had already shown
30:24alarming levels of paranormal activity during daylight hours.
30:27But after the unsettling footage they captured in broad daylight, viewers flooded the comments
30:32with one request, return after dark.
30:35So they did.
30:36As night settled over the trees and the last light drained from the sky, a thick, unnatural
30:41silence descended with it.
30:43You know what?
30:44Dad's dog.
30:45Dad's dog.
30:46Dad's dog.
30:47Dad's dog.
30:48Dad's dog.
30:49Dad's dog.
30:50Dog dad.
30:51Dog dad.
30:52Dog dad.
30:53Dog dad.
30:54Oh God.
30:55Bloody hell.
30:56It looks good, innit?
30:57What the flip was that?
30:58What is it?
30:59No, someone was...
31:00Hey, one minute.
31:01Someone was just standing up there.
31:02Someone was just standing up there.
31:03Someone was just standing up there.
31:04Someone was just standing up there.
31:05Someone was standing up there.
31:06Someone was standing up there.
31:07I turned round as I was laughing and someone was stood.
31:09There's a tree there, lor.
31:10Do you remember the tree that sort of goes up at an angle?
31:11Someone was flipping stood next to that.
31:12It was a full, almost like a silhouette of someone.
31:13I saw the legs and the bottom half of the body, then as I doubled back, it wasn't there.
31:33Even before their equipment was fully unpacked, something caught Tom's eye.
31:37Near the edge of the clearing, beside a twisted tree trunk, stood a tall, human-like figure.
31:42It had mass and definition, more than just a passing shadow.
31:46But before he could get a single word out, it blinked out of sight, leaving only the swaying branches behind.
31:52That silent, fleeting moment instantly shifted the energy of the investigation.
31:57What was meant to be a structured night of filming quickly unraveled into something erratic.
32:02From the very first minutes, the atmosphere around the church felt unstable.
32:06Thick with tension, as if the forest itself was bracing for something.
32:10Using my voice.
32:12Using my voice.
32:15That's obviously what we've been hearing.
32:17Okay, so it's you.
32:21Are you the one crying?
32:24Was that you? Was that you?
32:27Who the s*** was that? There's someone outside the church.
32:30There's someone outside the church.
32:31I'm telling you right now.
32:33Quick, get out of sight.
32:34Please tell me one of you heard that.
32:36Oh my God.
32:37I've got full goosebumps all over my body.
32:40Oh my God.
32:41I need that to be caught on the camera.
32:43Are you sure you didn't hear it?
32:45And you didn't say anything?
32:46Holy s***.
32:47That was a full woman.
32:49Full sentence.
32:50What did she say?
32:51My God, it was in the church.
32:53It was inside the church.
32:55It came sort of through this window here.
32:59That's why I thought maybe someone was out here.
33:03Oh God, I really thought I was a real person.
33:05Once inside the decaying structure, they powered on the spirit talker.
33:09Expecting random words, maybe a phrase or two.
33:12But what came through was something entirely different.
33:15It began responding in what appeared to be Tom's own voice.
33:18Mimicking his tone with eerie accuracy.
33:21Then it intensified.
33:23A full sentence rang out in a clear, unmistakably female voice from somewhere within the church
33:29walls.
33:30Tom stopped cold.
33:31I've got full goosebumps.
33:33He whispered.
33:34Barely able to process what he'd heard.
33:36The voice hadn't sounded electronic or distorted.
33:39It sounded human.
33:40Like someone was physically standing inside the building.
33:43Speaking back.
33:44So when we just tried to talk to us, we heard you.
33:47We heard you hissing and shouting whatever it was you tried to say.
33:51Are you coming to tell us who you are?
33:53Are you coming to tell us who you are?
33:55What on earth?
33:57We heard you.
33:58Is there somebody here that doesn't like us?
34:00We can say get out.
34:02We can say get out.
34:04I mean go.
34:06Can you say go?
34:09He's definitely talking at the start.
34:11Hmm.
34:12Yeah.
34:13So all these responses that we're getting on EVP, that we're hearing with our own voice,
34:18I will enhance them the best I can and hopefully figure out what some of them are saying.
34:24They began piecing things together.
34:26Historical records revealed that the church had been ransacked centuries ago during Cromwell's
34:31campaign.
34:32A brutal event that may have left behind more than just ruins.
34:35From that point on, the activity only escalated.
34:38Disembodied voices echoed through the space.
34:41Footsteps moved where no one walked and sharp hissing sounds cut through the silence.
34:46Whatever was there, it didn't let up.
34:48Why do you want us to get out?
34:49We haven't done anything wrong.
34:50We just want to talk.
34:52Have you got anything to hide?
34:55The pit.
34:56What?
34:57What?
34:58You just said if you've got anything to hide it says the pit.
35:01The pit.
35:02What is the pit?
35:03What the hell?
35:04What's the pit?
35:05Where is it then?
35:06Where is the pit?
35:07The pit.
35:08Have you buried bodies in there?
35:10No.
35:11The pit.
35:12That doesn't sound good to me.
35:14No.
35:15Does it?
35:16It was right after you said if there's anything you want to hide.
35:18What are you hiding?
35:19You tell us.
35:21There were no clear explanations.
35:24Only a single word that kept repeating.
35:26The pit.
35:27The team couldn't shake the feeling that it meant something specific.
35:31Their theory grew darker by the hour.
35:33Perhaps a mass grave existed nearby.
35:35Buried close to the church.
35:37Never marked and long since erased from memory.
35:39So I thought we'd do the outro here because by the time we get up there we're going to
35:42be absolutely knackered.
35:43But it's been a crazy night.
35:45Literally I just thought I heard something again.
35:47Yeah.
35:48They're epic.
35:49We've been having stuff literally non-stop all night from the moment we walked in here.
35:54I don't think.
35:55There's a spirit here that I think doesn't like us being here.
36:00And he's hiding something.
36:01I don't know what it is but er.
36:03In the background let's see your face on the screen.
36:06We've been having some crazy stuff tonight.
36:09Crazy communication.
36:11Disembodied voices.
36:12Full blown sentences that are disembodied.
36:16Coming from outside and inside the church.
36:18I just can't wait to get this on my headphones and see if I can actually enhance any of them.
36:23And hopefully they are on the audio.
36:25That night the energy inside the church wasn't random.
36:28It was deliberate.
36:30The team received full sentences.
36:32Clear responses that directly matched their questions.
36:35Creating the unnerving impression that something aware was engaging with them.
36:40It didn't feel residual.
36:41It felt focused.
36:42As if they were being watched.
36:44Measured and warned.
36:46The church delivered more than they'd expected.
36:49Whispered voices with intent.
36:51Direct commands and a constant pressure that never let them breathe fully.
36:55But what if the voices weren't trying to push them away out of malice?
36:58What if they were trying to protect them.
37:00From whatever still lies hidden beneath.
37:02In that pit.
37:03That's where we'll end tonight's episode.
37:05Which part left you with chills?
37:07Drop your thoughts in the comments.
37:09And if you've had your own strange encounter.
37:11We want to hear it.
37:12Stick around.
37:13What's coming next is something you won't want to miss.
