00:01Are you good, man?
00:03Yeah.
00:04Hey, shit.
00:06Hey.
00:07Hey.
00:13Law enforcement shows up, and they said, hey, has there been a lot of activity out here?
00:18When did you get here?
00:19It's just a little unsettling.
00:21I don't know.
00:22I'm like, is this a safe area?
00:23Is this safe?
00:25Nafala is a solo outdoors woman who documents her camping adventures on TikTok.
00:32On this trip, she set out on a three-day camping adventure in Australia.
00:38After packing her bags, she traveled by boat to a remote island, a campsite only accessible by water.
00:46I don't even know how I'm going to camp here for the next three days, but it's going to be
00:52exciting.
01:02All right, that's all my stuff packed onto the ferry.
01:05Now we just wait to take off.
01:14We are here.
01:16Surprisingly, it's not as windy as it was on the other side.
01:18So, guys, I am freaking out.
01:21I just made it to the campsite, and I am the only one here.
01:25Literally.
01:26I'm the only psycho that is camping here today.
01:30There's no one else.
01:31I'm going to be here all by myself.
01:34Like, every time, usually every time I've camped anywhere, there's always other campers, which reassures me because, like, I've got
01:42company.
01:43Even though, like, I don't talk to other people, I just do my own thing, but there's always other campers
01:47around, so, like, it's reassuring that there's other people.
01:50So if something happens, like, you're not alone, but I'm literally alone.
01:55I'm the only person on this island.
01:58This is scary, but it's an adventure on its own, and, like, I'm all for it.
02:04I'm for this adventure.
02:05After arriving, she quickly realized something unsettling.
02:09She was completely alone.
02:11No other campers.
02:13No rangers.
02:15No one.
02:16Despite the unease, Nafila pushed on and set up her tent.
02:20But as night fell, things took a disturbing turn.
02:24At about 9 p.m., that's when things started to get a little bit sinister and weird, I noticed that
02:30someone was shining a torch into my tent.
02:31I was a little bit concerned, but I initially thought that it might be the park rangers, because when someone's
02:38camping there, legally, the rangers need to be on the grounds.
02:42So if someone's camping there, there's always rangers.
02:45So I assumed maybe the rangers had come back, and they're just doing, like, a property check.
02:49So what I did was I called the National Park phone line, and I spoke to them, and I asked,
02:56Hey, there's someone shining a torch into my tent.
02:58Is it one of your rangers?
02:59So they're like, We'll put you on hold, and we'll double check with that campground.
03:03And then they got back to me, and they said, No, the campground is actually empty.
03:07There's no rangers.
03:08I'm the only person on the island.
03:10A few hours later, as she lay inside her tent, a light began reflecting nearby.
03:17She assumed it must be park rangers.
03:20After all, no one else should have been on the island.
03:24For reassurance, she called the main number.
03:28That's when she found out the truth.
03:30The campground was empty.
03:33There were no rangers.
03:34No one was supposed to be there.
03:37Trying to calm herself, Nafala settled back down.
03:42But around midnight, the light returned.
03:45I did open the tent zipper, and I had to look around to see if I can see anyone, but
03:49there
03:49was no one there.
03:50So I'm like, Okay, I'm just going to go back to sleep.
03:53I'm going to try sleep.
03:54And then about two hours later, this was at about midnight, the light started shining through
04:00my tent again.
04:01So at this point, I started panicking, because at the same time, I also heard rattling outside.
04:06So I'm like, Okay, maybe I'm in trouble.
04:07I need to contact the park rangers again and speak to them.
04:12I contacted park rangers, and they said, Look, if you're concerned, this is the number
04:16for the local police station.
04:18Just give them a call, and then if it is an emergency, they can help you out.
04:23So just give this number a call, and maybe they can give you some reassuring advice.
04:26She was advised to call emergency services if she felt unsafe.
04:32Police took the situation seriously, warning her just how dangerous it could be.
04:38As her phone battery drained, Nafala went to the camp kitchen to charge it.
04:43That's when she received a private call.
04:46The caller claimed a major storm was coming at 3 a.m., and began giving her strange instructions
04:53on how to leave the island.
04:56My phone was dying.
04:57It was on, like, 6%, and my battery had died.
05:01You know, I had a bank as a backup to charge my phone, but it just wasn't working.
05:07So at this point, I was like, Okay, I've got to head to the kitchen, because the kitchen
05:10has a vending machine that has phone banks for rental.
05:14So I'm like, I'll go to the kitchen, and I'll just rent one of the phone banks.
05:17So I made my way to the kitchen, got the phone bank, and then I'm charging my phone,
05:21and then this is where things got absolutely insane.
05:24As I'm charging my phone in the kitchen, I'm getting a private call.
05:28I initially assumed it was the police, so I picked up and I said hello, and then it was
05:33a man on the other end of the phone, and he's like, Hey, I'm calling from the national park.
05:38Like, I just want to let you know, you need to get the F off the island as soon as
05:42possible.
05:43Word for word, he said, You need to get the F off the island.
05:47I was like, What do you mean?
05:49He said, You shouldn't be there.
05:50The island has been completely evacuated, because there is a major storm hitting the island
05:55at 3am today.
05:56I was so confused.
05:57I was like, What do you mean there's a storm hitting the island?
06:00I made a booking, and I got an email confirmation, and I wasn't contacted by anyone.
06:04And then this guy was like, Yes, all the campers have been evacuated.
06:08That's why you're the only one there.
06:09Did you not realize when you stepped off the ferry?
06:12I said, Yeah, I did realize.
06:13I just thought that no one's there because it's winter.
06:15Like, I didn't assume that the campground had been closed.
06:19And the guy's like, No, it's been closed, and everyone was evacuated earlier today
06:23because there's a major storm hitting the island, and it's going to be so windy
06:28that you won't be able to survive the night.
06:30So what do I do?
06:31So he's like, You need to follow our emergency protocol.
06:34I was like, Okay, what's that?
06:36He said, You need to abandon all your belongings and go to the jetty.
06:39Okay, word for word.
06:41Jump into the water because underneath the boat ramp,
06:46we have a secret boat that's hidden in case of emergencies like this.
06:50You need to retrieve that boat, like, attach it to whatever it's attached to.
06:55And then you've got to, like, pull the rope three times for the engine to start.
07:00It's like a little tinny.
07:01And you've got to ride that back to the mainland.
07:04Something felt very wrong.
07:07Soon after, police contacted Nafela directly.
07:11And what they told her confirmed everything.
07:15There was no storm.
07:18She was instructed to pack her belongings immediately and meet them at a specific location.
07:24And then at that moment, when I'm still on the phone with him,
07:26I get another random number call me.
07:28So I answer that number and I put him on hold.
07:31Now, the random number that's called me is the police.
07:33And they're like, Hey, we got a report that there's someone shining a light into your tent.
07:38Is that true?
07:39I said, Yeah, absolutely it is.
07:41But I've got much bigger fish to fry now because
07:43I've got a lunatic on the phone telling me that I need to get off the island
07:46and that I need to start the tinny.
07:47And I don't know how to start the tinny.
07:49And it's dark and I can't be on the water.
07:52Like, it's not safe.
07:53And they're like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.
07:55What?
07:55So I explained to them, someone, supposedly the park ranger is on the phone to me on hold.
08:01And he's telling me that there's a major storm hitting the island and that I need to leave.
08:05They checked and they're like, There's no storm hitting the island.
08:08And what you're saying sounds absolutely insane.
08:11I was like, Okay, but why is this person telling me there's a storm hitting the island?
08:15So at this point, I'm freaking out because I was like, Does someone know where I am?
08:20Is somebody here to kill me?
08:23Is this like a serial killer playing games with me?
08:26Oh my god.
08:27The police were like, Go back to your tent, pack your belongings, meet us at the jetty.
08:31We'll be there in 45 minutes.
08:32It's 2am on the island and I'm supposed to be here for a three-day solo camping trip.
08:37But I've just been hit with an emergency and I'm currently on the wharf
08:41waiting for marine police to come and collect me.
08:44I just packed all my stuff up and I'm waiting.
08:46It's already been about 20 minutes.
08:48I still don't see any sign of them.
08:50So, like I am terrified.
08:53But I trust that they're going to come and save my life.
08:56Police escorted Nafela back to the mainland.
09:00What was meant to be a three-night trip didn't even last one.
09:05To this day, the questions remain.
09:08Was it the same person with the flashlight?
09:12Was someone trying to lure her into danger?
09:15Whatever was happening that night, it was deeply disturbing.
09:22Don dedicates his channel to the outdoors.
09:25Camping, hiking, and life off the beaten path.
09:29In this video, the plan was simple.
09:33Spend two nights camping with his dog Bailey in the Davy Crockett National Forest.
09:39He had a couple of campsites in mind and headed out early.
09:43But right away, something felt off.
09:46A fallen tree blocked his path, forcing Don to move a large section of it just to continue.
09:53As darkness crept in, Don set up camp, lit a fire, cracked open a beer, and made some food.
10:01Soon after, he settled in for the night.
10:05The first night passed without incident.
10:07But the second night was different.
10:10Don pushed deeper into the forest, to another campsite, and once again, set everything up.
10:17At first, all seemed fine.
10:20Until things started to feel...wrong.
10:24When I pulled into the campground, there was one truck already here.
10:28And they pulled off and they left whenever I got here in parks.
10:31But I don't know if they were just kind of checking out the area too, or if they were doing
10:37some fishing.
10:37I don't know.
10:39But let's see if we can scout out here.
10:42We're a pretty shaded area back here.
10:47So, just had a couple of visitors.
10:50A couple of guys, locals from the area.
10:53So they grew up here.
10:55And they used to spend a lot of time just kind of hanging and chilling, swimming in the old pond
10:59here.
11:01And talked to them for a little bit.
11:03Super nice guys.
11:04And they left.
11:06And about ten minutes after they left, law enforcement shows up.
11:13And they said, hey, has there been a lot of activity out here?
11:16When did you get here?
11:17I said, well, I got here, you know, last night.
11:20No activity.
11:21Just a couple of guys that just left here not too long ago.
11:25And he said, yeah, we saw them.
11:27He goes, okay.
11:28He, like, looked around, everything.
11:30Inside my tent, you know, the Jeep, all that stuff.
11:33And I don't know.
11:35He's probably just doing his job.
11:37He's nice enough too.
11:38But I don't know.
11:40I just, I just, uh, just a little unsettling.
11:45I don't know.
11:46I'm like, is this a safe area?
11:47Is it safe?
11:48Did I just luck out last night?
11:49I don't know.
11:52It doesn't give me a good feeling in my stomach.
11:56A group of supposed locals pulled up and spoke with him casually before leaving.
12:02But not long after, police arrived.
12:06The officers began looking around Don's personal belongings, asking if there had been any activity
12:12in the area.
12:14That's when Don's stomach dropped.
12:17Why were the police searching around?
12:20Had something happened recently?
12:22Were they looking for someone?
12:24Or something?
12:27Don didn't know.
12:29And that uncertainty unsettled him deeply.
12:33Trusting his instincts, Don packed up and left immediately, cutting his trip short.
12:40That gut feeling may have saved his life.
12:46Katya travels alone in her camper truck, filming herself singing and sharing peaceful moments
12:52on the road.
12:53One night, she parked up at a campsite deep in the woods, alone, surrounded by darkness,
13:00with no cell service.
13:03She sat inside her van, with the door wide open, singing and relaxing, when suddenly, something
13:10terrifying happened.
13:21What the fuck?
13:23What the fuck?
13:32There are hunters out here.
13:45A loud gunshot echoed through the forest.
13:48It was close.
13:50Too close.
13:52Trying to stay calm, Katya brushed it off as hunters nearby and shut her van doors.
13:57But moments later, it happened again.
14:10What the fuck?
14:18What the actual shit?
14:22Another gunshot.
14:24This time, it sounded deliberate.
14:27After the gunfire, she could hear something landing nearby.
14:31Bullets striking the ground, echoing through the grass.
14:35Katya's body jolted in fear.
14:38She ended the video and shouted out into the darkness, yelling for whoever it was to leave.
14:44Eventually, the woods went silent again.
14:48Nothing more happened, but the question lingered.
14:53What was really happening out there that night?
14:58Alex set out alone in his truck, leaving his family behind as he headed off for the day.
15:04And night.
15:06Truck driving was his job.
15:08And with long hours on the road, rest wasn't optional.
15:12It was necessary.
15:14But that need to stop is exactly where the danger began.
15:19After a long day of driving, Alex found a quiet spot to park up and camp for the night.
15:25It seemed peaceful at first, until he realized he wasn't alone.
15:31I don't want to get in this guy's way.
15:37Oh, man, these guys didn't get mad.
15:39Alright, that should be good, right?
15:42Right, right there.
15:50What is this guy doing?
15:52I'm good.
15:53You good?
15:55Yeah.
15:59Well, it's not your problem.
16:01I'm just going to pull over to eat real quick, man.
16:05Oh, no, no.
16:08Oh, that cat almost got ran over, though.
16:10Alright, me and this guy.
16:12I think he thought I was going to hit him or something, but I almost caught that cat right there
16:15and get hit.
16:16Alex had disturbed a homeless man who was already there.
16:20The first encounter was brief.
16:23Nothing seemed immediately threatening.
16:25But not long after, the man returned, this time visibly agitated.
16:32Trying to de-escalate the situation, Alex stepped out of his truck to calmly speak to him and reassure him.
16:40That's when everything changed.
16:42Dude, this guy's coming back.
16:46Hey, motherfuckers, I'm out of the way.
16:48Huh?
16:51Man?
16:53Are you good, man?
16:54Yeah.
16:56Hey, shit.
16:57Hey.
16:59Hey, what are you doing, dude?
17:01Hey.
17:03What the hell?
17:05What the fuck?
17:06Oh, that guy's trying to fucking swing that at me.
17:08I don't know what that guy's problem was, but I'm out.
17:12Oh, look, he's coming back.
17:13He's coming back.
17:14Hey, motherfucker, get the fuck out of here.
17:15I'm just trying to hit you, dude.
17:16I'm going to leave.
17:17You're going to leave, man.
17:18Get the fuck out of here.
17:19I know.
17:20You're good, bro.
17:21You're good.
17:21Chill.
17:23Without warning, the man charged at Alex, a golf club raised in his hand.
17:29Alex didn't hesitate.
17:31He jumped back into his truck and drove away, escaping before the situation could turn even worse.
17:37Truck camping, and camping in general, can be unpredictable.
17:43You never truly know who might be nearby, or what they're capable of.
17:51Dan is an experienced outdoorsman, known for his long hiking and camping adventures.
17:57He's spent days, even weeks, alone in the wilderness.
18:03Most of his trips are uneventful, but not all of them.
18:07This video adds to that list.
18:10Dan set out early at 4.15 a.m., beginning a hike through the woods before sunrise.
18:16As he moved through the darkness, something caught his attention.
18:20A light.
18:21I just happened to turn as I'm filming, and out of the corner of my eye, I then snap my
18:28head back,
18:29because I've spotted, unbelievably, at something past five in the morning, on the side of a mountain,
18:35in the murky, stormy, rainy, windy weather, I've spotted a light right there.
18:41Only a matter of a ten-second walk away, if that.
18:46And you can imagine that I have that moment where the pit of my stomach becomes the most prominent part
18:52of my body,
18:53all-in-compassing fear and dread that takes over you,
18:57to be in that location, at that time of the morning, with nothing else around, not even light around me.
19:04And there is, not necessarily a super bright, but a very clear and obvious light,
19:10right on that track that I've only just moments ago walked over myself.
19:15There were no roads nearby, no houses, just forest.
19:20Suddenly, the realization hit him.
19:23He wasn't alone.
19:25Fear crept in, as the darkness surrounded him.
19:29Alone in the woods, anxious and unsure, Dan tried to rationalize it.
19:34Maybe it was a farmer.
19:35Maybe another early hiker.
19:37He stayed back, recording, keeping his light on,
19:41hoping whoever it was could see him.
19:44But no one approached.
19:45At that moment, like I say, there was a bit of fear,
19:48but I managed to sort of console myself, thinking,
19:51well, we're in classic farming territory here.
19:54This is almost certainly just a farmer out on his morning rounds,
19:58doing his first checks on the flock or whatever they do in the early hours.
20:01So I'm at an area that is relatively popular to stop and have a quick drink and a break at.
20:07So I think I'll just stay here for a few minutes.
20:09I'll sort out the charging cables for charging my watch because the battery life's terrible on it
20:14after five years of tracking activities and all that sort of stuff.
20:17I record a bit to camera, think, the farmer will come up.
20:21We'll have a quick word.
20:22They can go about their day knowing that I'm not camping on their land
20:25and leaving a load of rubbish or a broken tent somewhere.
20:29And I'll be able to go about my day knowing that,
20:31oh, it's just the farmer's going about their daily business.
20:35So anyway, I wait there and I wait there and I film to the camera
20:38and I have a little drink and I change all the wiring of my charger.
20:43Nobody ever comes and I don't see any sign of that light again.
20:49Now, at the time, I was in two minds over whether it was a dim setting on a head torch
20:55or a phone light, and so I was very aware that I could have been being observed
21:00and filmed at that moment.
21:01And so, looking at the footage now, if we zoom in, you can see
21:06there's actually a secondary light pulsing away next to the main light.
21:10And I believe that that is the infrared sensor pulsing out its light
21:17into the ether trying to do whatever these phones do.
21:20And I think I was being recorded on a mobile phone there.
21:23Later, Dan reviewed the footage and noticed something unsettling,
21:28what appeared to be a torch, and possibly another light,
21:32as if someone was recording him too.
21:35Had the roles been reversed?
21:37Was Dan unknowingly scaring someone else?
21:41As daylight rose, Dan searched the area.
21:44There were no signs of another camper.
21:46No tent.
21:48No gear.
21:49Just a pile of rocks.
21:51Somewhere, someone could have been camping.
21:54To this day, Dan doesn't know who, or what, was out there with him.
22:02Camping can be peaceful, but as these encounters show,
22:06it can turn dangerous without warning.
22:09Sometimes the real threat isn't the wilderness.
22:13It's the people, or the feeling that something isn't right.
22:17Trust your instincts.
