00:06Somewhere where there is a creepy feeling in the air or a chill in your spine when you are alone?
00:12In this video, we are sharing an experience that a user on Reddit posted about a haunted forest
00:19that became so sinister that their family was forced to move.
00:25If you have any paranormal encounters that you want to share, please comment them.
00:29I will be turning some subscriber-submitted stories into videos in my next video series.
00:35I hope you enjoy this bone-chilling paranormal encounter.
00:39When they were eight years old, their family moved into a house at the edge of a forest.
00:45At first, their parents were unsure about buying a house with a backyard that bordered such a dense forest.
00:53Their parents worried about wild animals getting into their trash or harming their dogs,
00:57and they feared one of the children might wander too far into the woods and get lost.
01:02However, the house was cheap, and their dad liked the idea of being secluded.
01:07Their mom loved the house itself,
01:09and the kids were excited to have a large backyard to play in and the forest to explore.
01:15The first sign that something wasn't quite right came from the family's dogs.
01:19The dogs were terrified of the forest.
01:21They refused to go anywhere near it, even when a toy would accidentally roll past the tree line.
01:27If one of the children went into the woods, the dogs would pace anxiously, waiting for them to return.
01:33On a few occasions, the dogs would stare into the forest, growling or barking at something that was not visible.
01:41One time, the family's brother decided to carry one of the dogs into the forest to show her there was
01:46nothing to fear.
01:47However, she wriggled free from his grip and ran back to the house, panicked.
01:51There were also strange noises when the children played in the backyard, especially when it started to get dark.
01:58They would hear what sounded like someone walking through the forest,
02:01with sticks crunching underfoot and branches being pushed aside.
02:05If they called out, there was never a response.
02:08But when they shined a flashlight into the woods,
02:10they would occasionally see something that looked like a person walking in the shadows,
02:15but only for a split second.
02:16This left them feeling uneasy, especially when their parents decided to forbid them
02:21from going into the forest at all after dark.
02:25Even during the day, they were told to stay within sight of the house.
02:29One night, their sister was looking out of her bedroom window,
02:32which faced the backyard and the forest beyond.
02:35She saw a strange, shadowy figure standing at the edge of the yard.
02:40It wasn't quite right.
02:42It appeared taller than a person, and it seemed to be hovering just above the ground.
02:46The figure looked distorted, and she could have sworn it was staring directly at her.
02:51She called for their dad, telling him that there was a man outside.
02:56Their dad rushed outside to chase off whoever it was,
03:00but when he shone his flashlight on the spot where the figure had been,
03:03it was gone with no sign of anyone being there at all.
03:07This was just the beginning of the strange happenings at the house.
03:10The knocking on the back door at night, with no one around, soon became a regular occurrence.
03:16Their parents initially thought it was just teenagers playing pranks, so they stopped bothering to answer.
03:23But one rainy evening, the knocking was much more persistent and seemed agitated.
03:30Their mom finally opened the door, thinking someone might need shelter from the storm, but there was no one there.
03:37The porch was dry, and there were no footprints in the rain.
03:41The knocking continued on and off for months, until their parents installed a security camera.
03:48However, there was never anyone at the door when the knocking happened.
03:53Little did they know, there were even more unsettling experiences ahead.
03:58But that is where the story truly starts to grow more intense.
04:02In the years that followed, the strange events at the house only grew more intense.
04:07The security camera, which their parents had installed to address the knocking,
04:11ended up capturing more than just the eerie sounds of an empty porch.
04:16About three years into living there, their brother started having disturbing night terrors.
04:21These weren't just bad dreams.
04:24He would wake up in the middle of the night, walk out of the house, and begin sleepwalking toward the
04:29forest.
04:30Their mom, who was a light sleeper, could hear the door open, and would rush out to stop him before
04:36he made it too far.
04:37After the third or fourth time this happened, their brother became curious about what he looked like while sleepwalking.
04:43He asked to see the footage from the security camera, hoping to find it funny.
04:49However, when they watched the footage together, they saw something unsettling.
04:54The video showed their brother walking out onto the porch, then stopping as if listening to something.
05:00He shook his head, as though trying to resist whatever it was that was calling to him.
05:06But after a moment, he seemed to be pulled forward, almost as if something unseen was guiding him.
05:12He walked, slowly, deliberately, toward the forest.
05:17The footage was clear enough to show him almost being forced in that direction.
05:21This wasn't normal sleepwalking.
05:23It was as if something was controlling him, making him move against his will.
05:28This wasn't the only bizarre incident.
05:31One evening, their dad was outside in the backyard when he heard their sister calling to him from the forest.
05:36Her voice sounded distressed, as if she had hurt herself while playing.
05:41Their dad immediately rushed into the woods, calling her name.
05:45But the further he went, the less certain he was about where the voice was coming from.
05:50He could hear her, but couldn't locate her.
05:53It was only when he went back inside the house for a flashlight that he saw their sister,
05:58safe and completely unaware of the strange voice in the woods.
06:01She hadn't been outside at all.
06:03As if the strange occurrences weren't enough,
06:06things took a darker turn when their mom's voice seemed to call out from the forest one evening,
06:12while the children were outside with the dogs.
06:15The voice sounded just like their mom's,
06:17and she was asking for help because she had gotten her sweater caught in some branches.
06:22The child didn't question it at first,
06:24but when they turned to look, they saw their mom inside,
06:27completely unaware of what was happening outside.
06:30The dogs, who had been barking anxiously for some time,
06:34suddenly grew more frantic as the child ventured closer to the trees.
06:38Their dad saw what was happening through the window,
06:40and immediately called out to the child to come back inside.
06:44He shouted that their mom was inside,
06:46and they needed to return to the house.
06:49The child quickly ran back,
06:51but the feeling of being called into the woods by someone who wasn't there lingered long after.
06:56The family's sense of unease continued to grow.
06:59The house was starting to feel less like a home and more like a place they couldn't escape from.
07:04Despite the fence being put up around the backyard to keep the children closer to the house,
07:08the strange occurrences escalated.
07:11More knocking at the door,
07:13more tapping on the windows,
07:14as if someone, or something,
07:16was walking the perimeter of the house,
07:19testing each window and door.
07:21The dogs would bark at nothing,
07:23staring into the dark.
07:25The noises that once seemed distant now felt like they were closing in on them.
07:29The family began to feel like they were trapped in a house that was no longer their own.
07:34The final months in the house were the worst.
07:36The knocking and scratching sounds around the house became almost constant.
07:41The night terrors returned for their brother,
07:43but now he didn't just sleepwalk out the door.
07:47He would wander into the backyard and stand,
07:50motionless,
07:51staring into the woods.
07:54Their parents had grown used to his sleepwalking,
07:56but now there was a growing fear in their eyes whenever he would leave the house.
08:00And then one morning,
08:02after another restless night,
08:04they woke to find the back door wide open.
08:07The security camera footage from the night before
08:10showed the door slowly swinging open on its own.
08:13There was no one in sight.
08:15No one had gone outside.
08:17The door had simply opened without explanation.
08:20With this final chilling event,
08:22the family decided it was time to leave.
08:25The house that had once seemed like a perfect home now felt like a prison,
08:28haunted by forces they couldn't understand.
08:31But even after moving away,
08:33the memories of that dark forest and the things that called from it would stay with them,
08:38lingering in their minds long after they left the house behind.
08:42As time went on,
08:43the family moved away from the house at the edge of the forest.
08:46But the unsettling experiences that had plagued their time there
08:50didn't fade with the change of address.
08:53Their brother,
08:54still struggling with night terrors,
08:56would often call them in the middle of the night.
08:59His voice laced with anxiety.
09:01He would bring up the house,
09:03asking questions that no one had dared to speak of since leaving.
09:08His most pressing concern
09:09was the final morning they spent there.
09:12The morning when the back door swung open on its own.
09:15He couldn't shake the feeling
09:16that the door opening wasn't just a strange accident.
09:19It was a sign.
09:21He wondered aloud
09:22whether it meant that whatever had been lurking in the forest
09:25had finally found its way inside.
09:28At first,
09:29his attempt to joke about it,
09:31to make light of the situation
09:33by talking about Halloween or exorcisms,
09:35seemed like an attempt to push away the fear that still gripped him.
09:39But behind his jokes,
09:40it was clear that he was deeply disturbed
09:43by what had happened during those years in the house.
09:46Though they had moved on to new homes,
09:49the family still struggled to shake off the heavy sense of unease.
09:53Even years later,
09:54when they gathered for family get-togethers or casual phone calls,
09:58their thoughts often returned to the forest
10:01that loomed at the edge of their yard.
10:03The woods had been an ever-present shadow in their lives
10:05during their time at the house,
10:07and the dark memories connected to it
10:09had woven themselves into the fabric of their everyday existence.
10:12The forest was more than just a collection of trees and wilderness.
10:16It had felt alive in a way that nothing natural should.
10:20It was as though the trees themselves
10:22had been watching,
10:24waiting.
10:25And while the family no longer lived there,
10:27the effects of that feeling persisted.
10:30They couldn't explain the strange occurrences,
10:33the voices in the woods,
10:34or the chilling sense
10:36that something was always just beyond their vision.
10:39But the forest had left its mark on them.
10:42It wasn't just their brother who had lingering doubts.
10:45The feeling of being watched had affected them all
10:48in ways they couldn't fully understand.
10:51They avoided wooded areas when they went on hikes,
10:54never venturing too deep into forests,
10:57always feeling like the trees might close in on them.
11:00Even the dogs,
11:01who had been so fearful of the forest,
11:04were now more anxious around wooded areas.
11:06It was as if they remembered the same fear,
11:09the same sense of danger,
11:11that had once paralyzed them in the yard.
11:13At the same time,
11:14they couldn't completely shake the feeling
11:16that something had followed them.
11:18It wasn't just the memories.
11:20It was a subtle sense
11:21that they were being watched,
11:24even in their new homes.
11:26They all began to notice small things.
11:28The odd creak in the floorboards.
11:31The feeling that someone was standing just out of sight.
11:34The faintest whisper
11:35that seemed to brush against their ears
11:38when they were alone.
11:39It wasn't enough to make them believe
11:41that something supernatural
11:42had truly crossed the threshold of their new homes,
11:45but it was enough to make them uneasy.
11:48And then there were the dreams.
11:50The nightmares.
11:51The forest,
11:53with its dark trees
11:54and its sense-oppressing danger,
11:56would appear in their dreams,
11:59no matter how far away they were from the house.
12:02They would see the forest stretching out endlessly,
12:04the shadows deeper and more suffocating
12:06with each passing moment.
12:08Sometimes they would hear voices
12:10calling their names
12:11from the dark, familiar voices.
12:13Voices of family members
12:14who hadn't been there.
12:15Sometimes they would be back in the house,
12:17standing at the edge of the woods,
12:19feeling that same tug of something
12:22pulling them toward the trees,
12:24toward the unknown.
12:25As years passed,
12:27these dreams didn't fade.
12:29The sense of unease remained,
12:31though they tried to bury it,
12:33to pretend it was just a memory,
12:36just a weird chapter in their lives
12:38that had been closed.
12:39But as their brother reached out to them again,
12:42months after his last call,
12:44the feeling of unfinished business
12:46lingered in the air.
12:47It was clear that none of them
12:49had truly come to terms
12:50with what had happened there,
12:51in the house on the edge of the forest.
12:54The memories were too strong,
12:56too vivid to ignore.
12:58And though they had left the house behind,
13:00it seemed like the house
13:02had never really left them.
13:04Years passed,
13:05and the family continued
13:06to live their lives,
13:07each person trying to move
13:09beyond the haunting memories
13:10of the house
13:11at the edge of the forest.
13:13But deep down,
13:14they knew something had changed
13:16in all of them.
13:17They had seen the strange events,
13:19felt the weight of the unexplainable,
13:22and yet,
13:22there were still questions
13:24that remained unanswered.
13:25What was really in the forest,
13:27and why did it seem
13:28to want them so badly?
13:30They had all been affected
13:31in different ways.
13:33Their brother's sleepwalking
13:34had stopped after they'd left,
13:35but the night terrors lingered.
13:37The anxiety that had crept
13:39into his life
13:40during their time in the house
13:41had never fully faded,
13:42and it still haunted him
13:44in quiet moments.
13:46Even though he tried
13:47to joke about it,
13:48pretending he could laugh
13:49off the terror,
13:50there was a part of him
13:51that couldn't shake the feeling
13:52that the house
13:53had left its mark on him
13:55in a much deeper way.
13:57Their sister,
13:58who had seen the shadowy figure
14:00in the yard,
14:01was no different.
14:03Though she had tried
14:04to push the memories aside,
14:06she couldn't escape
14:07the sense of dread
14:08whenever she found herself
14:09near dark wooded areas.
14:11The image of that distorted figure,
14:14too tall,
14:15too wrong,
14:16still haunted her thoughts.
14:17It wasn't just the house
14:19that had affected her,
14:20but the forest itself.
14:22The feeling of something
14:23lurking just beyond the trees,
14:25waiting and watching,
14:27had left an imprint
14:28that would never go away.
14:31Their parents,
14:32too,
14:33had their own struggles.
14:35They never spoke
14:36of the knocking at the door,
14:38or the strange voices
14:39that had come from the forest,
14:41but they both knew
14:42the house had changed them.
14:44The constant sense of unease,
14:46the whispers of something out there
14:48that never quite stopped,
14:50had worn them down.
14:52Even in their new home,
14:53they would sometimes
14:54look out into the night,
14:56catching glimpses
14:57of the darkness
14:57beyond the yard,
14:59and feel the same chill
15:00they had felt back
15:01in the house
15:01on the edge of the forest.
15:03Though they tried to move on
15:05to forget
15:05the strange occurrences,
15:07there was always
15:08a lingering feeling
15:09that the forest
15:10had never really let them go.
15:12The knocking,
15:13the footsteps in the woods,
15:15the voices calling their names,
15:17it all felt like a warning,
15:19something they had
15:20never fully understood.
15:22And when their brother
15:23called again,
15:24asking if they thought
15:25the door opening
15:26that last morning
15:27had meant something darker,
15:28they were reminded
15:29that whatever had been
15:30in the forest
15:31was still with them
15:32in some way.
15:33Perhaps it had followed them,
15:35or perhaps they had just
15:36never fully left it behind.
15:38In the years that followed,
15:39they all continued
15:40to live their lives,
15:42but there was always
15:43that nagging feeling
15:44that they had been part
15:45of something
15:46they would never
15:47fully understand.
15:48The house,
15:49the forest,
15:51and everything
15:52that had happened there
15:53remained a mystery,
15:54one they couldn't
15:55explain or outrun.
15:57The past had a way
15:58of sticking with them,
15:59of crawling into
16:00their thoughts and dreams,
16:01no matter how much
16:03time passed.
16:04And so,
16:05the family carried on,
16:07haunted not by
16:09a single event,
16:10but by the unshakable
16:11feeling that the forest
16:12had been more
16:14than just a place.
16:15It had been a part
16:16of them,
16:17a presence
16:18they couldn't escape.
16:20They had tried
16:21to leave it behind,
16:22but the truth was,
16:24the forest had already
16:25become a part
16:26of their story,
16:27and it would remain
16:28with them forever.
16:30Whether it had truly
16:31been something
16:32supernatural,
16:33or just a strange
16:34coincidence,
16:35none of them could say.
16:36But one thing
16:37was certain,
16:38the house on the edge
16:39of the forest
16:40had left its mark
16:41on them all,
16:42and no matter
16:43where they went,
16:44they would always
16:45carry a piece
16:46of that dark,
16:47unsettling mystery
16:48with them.
