Creepy experiences in the backcountry

[Teaman1]

Real random, just wondering if anyone has any stories from backcountry hunts that were unexplainable, weird, or just plain scary?

Recently watched a movie available on Amazon Prime Video called Missing 411-The Hunted. It is about a series of unexplained missing hunter stories from different areas in the US. It was actually pretty good...and a little creepy. Based on a book from a series of missing person stories by investigative author Dave Paulides. He is a former police detective and has researched hundreds and hundreds of missing person cases in depth. I was googling each of the missing hunter stories as I was watching the movie and they are all bona fide unsolved cases. If you’re a twitchy person when it comes to stuff like this, I don’t recommend watching it until after your upcoming solo hunt...

That movie is the reason for this thread haha.
I agree, I thought it was pretty good.

If my wife watched that I think she would chain me to our house.

Yep, this. I’ll have to watch this one without the wife

In for good stories.

The "stairs in the woods" series is fiction in a similar vein as Missing 411 and creepy as hell too

I've posted this here before, but we ran into this super strange little...structure? Gave me the creeps the first time we found it last year.

Usually it's grouse that scare the shit out of me.

 

[Teaman1]

Wow, never seen anything like that.
Will definitely check out stairs in the woods

I found someone's ID along a relatively unused trail once. It had expired for at least two years. I googled the person when I got home and nothing came up. They were also from another province. Weirdest thing was that it was just a DL, not a wallet or other cards....

anybody being following the weird disappearances, murders and manhunts in BC this summer?

Usually I am disturbed by the sight of other people and wish they would disappear.

Mine would send me hunting.

I am working on a house in the country that has spirits present. Lots of strange stuff happening there. I have another 5 weeks of work to do...sitting in my truck eating lunch a week ago and hear the sound of someone tapping keys on the window behind me, no one was there. Other strange stuff also, the owner hears noises in the kitchen at 3am every night.

My first hunt in grizzly country, I was pretty nervous and on edge. Still hunting through some dark timber, and one of those damn birds about made me crap myself

Once on the side of a mountain I was climbing I came upon
I found a duffle bag full of little kids clothes buried under a pile of shale on the side of a mountain. Literally in the middle of nowhere, kinda wierded me out, put everything back the way I found it and kept moving.

Hunting a spot in Eastern Nev and bumped into a loonatic in the woods. Seriously. We found out His family dumped him out there in a POS trailer and would bring him food once a month or so. Heard him screaming one night. Walking around in shit soaked clothes a knife and barefoot. This guy was certifiable. The guy was dangerous.... both from his attitude and the Cholera he was wearing.

We finally had to intimidate him not to pester us.
