    This is often called the skunk ape or wild man, it’s like a shorter stinky relative of the bigfoot. I doubt it actually exists, but it’s a fun story.

  2. @sagrammyfour on December 10, 2023 at 8:27 am

    I’m unsubscribing – I can’t take that crazy ass affected hair and whatever the hell that beard is. You’re using this site as a fashion statement–it’s sissy, and not masculine at all. Also, I don’t care for your overly dramatic story telling style,

  3. @Kingspeakbackcountry on December 10, 2023 at 8:28 am

    Sorry Spencer, 9mm isn’t going to do much especially if you are carrying fmj.

  4. @bucknakedbullfrog on December 10, 2023 at 8:29 am

    These stories are exactly why I carry a little .380 in my pocket when out in the wilderness.

  5. @rondipierro8677 on December 10, 2023 at 8:30 am

    Ridiculous😊

  6. @Jcombetta on December 10, 2023 at 8:31 am

    I call BS

  7. @ronyalemerrill on December 10, 2023 at 8:32 am

    There is some seriously sketchy vibes in Georgia at FT. Mountain. Felt like I was being watched the entire time. I went home and researched the area and then it all made sense. I’ve never gone back.

  8. @Something_in_the_Forest on December 10, 2023 at 8:32 am

    When we were kids, we lived in the woods and saw demons in the trees at night. Bright Red Eyes staring at us…. When you shine a flashlight at the demons, they are actually pretty cute. They look like little bank robbers.

  9. @maxoblivion on December 10, 2023 at 8:32 am

    The feral people of the Appalachians at it again. Go feral! 🤡

  10. @CynthiaFondren on December 10, 2023 at 8:32 am

    The last story was my favorite and definitely the scariest. I haven’t decided if I think that Bigfoot and the other strange creatures are connected or not; I hope they aren’t because I have liked Bigfoot since I was a child and don’t want to think of them as demons (as I think the others are).

  11. @guadalupeeg5034 on December 10, 2023 at 8:35 am

    What they described is nothing like a black bear. Why do people always resort to saying things like that, "you saw a black bear". Like we don’t know what a bear looks like.

  12. @RichardSeaton-mu1vm on December 10, 2023 at 8:37 am

    Girlfriend at the time?

  13. @elmarty4803 on December 10, 2023 at 8:43 am

    If it is anything, it is an ape or gorilla that some animal rights group or weak willed worker released into the wild in an effort to save it. If its a bear, then maybe an injured one. But that doesn’t explain the gray hair. Given that we are over half a century from the first idea of Sasquatch and nothing of any real evidence has been found tells me it is more likely an animal of sorts….or some weird sex cult….in this day and age….probably a sex cult.

    What dat ngga see 😢

  15. @debbieshaw9018 on December 10, 2023 at 8:44 am

    I had decided to give your channel another chance as I’m the one who commented here quite some time back of how you rush one Story into another without seeming to take a breath. Well your still doing it, I thought the Narrator Mortis Media was bad at doing this but you have him beat. I’m sad as I really enjoyed listening to Secret of the Woods. It’s not enjoyable to have one Story rushed into another. So I’m back off, not going to listen anymore.

  16. @angelacross7283 on December 10, 2023 at 8:45 am

    I don’t believe it… They would’ve put a cam there!

  17. @MCat360 on December 10, 2023 at 8:46 am

    I find all these stories hard to believe. How is it that no one has captured any photos or videos of all this phenomena? Even during the day it’s easy to get freaked out in the woods. My parents home is surrounded by some pretty freaky woods. I think people watch too many movies or probably take too many drugs. If all these sightings are real then why is their not a shred of proof? Some of these stories are so outlandish that they’re not even entertaining.

  18. @pedrocruz4828 on December 10, 2023 at 8:46 am

    Always bring a firearm when I’m hiking or camping

  19. @lynn9176 on December 10, 2023 at 8:50 am

    I heard a man once tell this story . It was 4 am and he was walking to his truck to go to work and the moon was bright as he was walking to his truck he heard a sound that made him look back at his house and on the roof was a very large 6foot tall bird with large wings just staring at him. He ran to his truck and looked back and it was gone. He says no one believes him

  20. @PaladinCiel on December 10, 2023 at 8:55 am

    I only have one supernatural encounter under my belt you might find interesting to know.

    I used to live in this small apartment. One day while milling about I saw what looked like a black ball of shadow run out from my walk in closet. It was a closet you had to pass through to reach the bathroom.

    Now I’ve seen big rats and plenty of small mice in ny day so know that when I say it wasn’t a rodent it most assuredly wasnt, at least not anything typical of the rodent kingdom at the very least.

    It ran out from the closet, I say ran because you could not roll a spherical object out of a space with such purposeful orecision movements this thing had, and even if you could, who would? I was alone in the apartment.

    It ran out and ran alongside a long row of book cases I own where it disappeared unter the TV stand vanishing into the shadow beneath.

    It Wasn’t particularly difficult to look under said stand and there was no where else it could have gone.

    It was a rather large ball like shape, too big to be a large rat and had none of the trademark anatomy you would be able to observe.

    A rat would not have vanished into that space completely, rats typically dont move as if terrifie of human contact either and would have had no need of moving with the speed that it did.

    I would have seen it run out towards a book case or off behind the sliding blinds where it would have made a racket moving past them with the mass it had.

    My apartment had no perceptible evidence of a rodent infestation and even when I eventually moved out there was never any evidence of rodent activity, no scent of urine or droppings.

    And while I know that proves nothing it helps better inform what occured next.

    Months later a friend of mine who used to sometimes spend weekends at my place to get out of his parents house, do homework, and mooch off my food, (we were classmates in art school at the time), one day he yells what was that!!?

    And I have him describe what he saw, and he described the exact same thing and the exact same movement.

    A black ball of shadow that ran out from the closet and vanished under the TV stand. This was months later and if it jad been a rodent living in my apartment that whole time, I would have found evidence of it.

    So thats 2 sightings of the same shadow like creature.

    I never saw it again, at least not with such clarity.

    I recall once the morning after having moved into a new apartment that I had my shelves all stacked up and was just waking up on my makeshift bed thebroom filled with boxes. I was just starting to open my eyes and felt I saw something like a round ball like object peek its mass out from behind some boxes on my shelf as if watching me.

    But I cant corroborate that as a proper visual sighting because I was only just groggily waking up and might have just been dreaming at that moment for all I knew.

    I was most assuredly awake the other time tho as was my friend. Both of us having caught a clear view of the thing moving.

    We were completely sober at the time too.

    Feel free to use this tale however you wish.

    I love your channel. I am a loyal subscriber but this is the second time I have commented about your mispronunciation of words. Your pronounced the word MYRIAD (pronounced: MIR-EE-ADD) as MY-RID. These mis pronounced words are frequent enough to be distracting. I worked in broadcasting and professional stage acting all over the world as my career. I merely suggest you review your copy and look up words you aren’t sure how to pronounce. I love your channel. Your manner is great except for these distracting mistakes.

    There are enough real life monsters and stories without promoting mythical dragons.
    You lost me.

    I live in the great smokey mtns and have for over 35 years. Those pictures are not my mtns. Try again.

    Bear spray will f*** up any alien or Bigfoot. They will wish they never messed with you.

  29. @cameronmoore9501 on December 10, 2023 at 9:02 am

    The Appalachian Mountain Range is one of the oldest ranges in the world. Ofc there is gonna be some weird shit out there!

  30. @bah-bah29hinks7 on December 10, 2023 at 9:03 am

    I’ve been in the woods and felt like prey. Hard to describe but it’s a mix of fear, hair standing in back of the neck, all your senses on hyper alert to the point of hearing a leaf/twig move, and as if you feel the need to move quietly, slowly (no sudden movements)until you feel like you should run for your life. Also only look back when you feel a bit safer than absolute terror. Truth. 😃

    Maybe it was protecting him from something else. spencer that is.

  33. @corginut123 on December 10, 2023 at 9:05 am

    Listen, if bigfoot was out there, after all this time, they would have found its scat by now believe me. No bigfoot, sorry folks.

  34. @terrylantz1509 on December 10, 2023 at 9:07 am

    Lived here since 1995, have heard similar howls in tsali and Needmore areas, don’t know what animal has that lung capacity.

  35. @MrBumbles2 on December 10, 2023 at 9:09 am

    lol i have through hiked the AT 3 times and have section hiked it since the early 80"S and there is no doubt these things out there 3 different sightings for me . all in the day time but being alone never have said much , one in the smokey’s , white mountains vt and ny . clearly saw each and one in vt was face to face about 30 yds while i was packing up to move on. let people believe what they want , i know my wild life and its not no god dam bear, bears don’t pick up rocks and throw them nor do they run on there back legs chasing fish in a stream. you think a skunk stinks lol . believe what you want, could care less what anyone thinks.

  36. @davidthurston5455 on December 10, 2023 at 9:09 am

    Love the narration, delivered with the passion of another similar youtuber haha. The last story was truly frightening.

  37. @eversway7540 on December 10, 2023 at 9:12 am

    These Bigfoot stories don’t hold my interest nor do the moth-man. Chances are very slim that most of us will run into these so called creatures or would care to meet them. It’s the same story until something is caught.

  38. @jimmiegray480 on December 10, 2023 at 9:14 am

    Why do you people go camping alone?

  39. @conniejenkins9875 on December 10, 2023 at 9:19 am

    Please correct the spelling! It is The Great Smoky Mountains! Smoky has no "e". The bEar has an "e", park does not! Please respect my home and spell it correctly.

  40. @suzannebranscomb1711 on December 10, 2023 at 9:20 am

    One sounds like the Mothman

  41. @andrewkaye2108 on December 10, 2023 at 9:20 am

    The last story, Another encounter with something that seems to use a "Predator" type of camoflauge, ( as I have heard of that before in other cases.)

    Boy, that movie kind of got it right in a way.

  42. @elisebruno6476 on December 10, 2023 at 9:22 am

    Exactly. You have problems accepting or "processing" what happened to you. I thought sasquatch or big foot were just stories. Then you experience a cryptid that isn’t anything remotely from earth. I feel for people who experience this. It is awful.

  43. @karenbarker6832 on December 10, 2023 at 9:23 am

    Want to see some scary go on up toward Newport !

  44. @bryancoyne9692 on December 10, 2023 at 9:23 am

    This is so much like Mr ballen channel everything about it is exactly the same down to way they talk lol they talk with the hand movement and everything lol talk about trying to be like someone else

  45. @larrymaxwell8565 on December 10, 2023 at 9:23 am

    Bigfoot don’t like whistlers so do not whistle 😙 it will attack you.even if it whistles at you!

  46. @333AppalachiaEnergetics on December 10, 2023 at 9:23 am

    Grew up near and continue to spend free time in NC side of the Smokies. Eventually plan to move along the national forest on the Nc side. Absolutely love the area, legends and lore of the area. I have camped, kayaked, berry picked, mushroom harvested, and hiked solo over the past 30 years. I have heard suspicious howls, seen orbs, had feelings of being watched but nothing terrifying except a for a few folks I crossed paths with on the trails or almost stepping on rattlesnakes / copperheads. I know a couple very believable people who have heard/seen Bigfoot in the NC side. One near the Job Corps / Horse Camp sites in Pisgah forest and the other in Maggie Valley. The legend of witch spear finger, moon eyed people, the little people, judaculla and the website called Starships over Cashiers are very interesting.

  47. @prissilou on December 10, 2023 at 9:23 am

    I have heard of similar stories, in fact Expedition X did one in the Smokies not long ago about feral people. I’m not one to go roaming about in the woods at night, and I’m also not one to recommend anyone go hiking alone. Not saying there is something out there, but not saying there isn’t. I will say there is a lot of things we can’t explain. Go at your own risk…anything is possible.

  48. @griftinggamer on December 10, 2023 at 9:24 am

    I like the former special forces guy, Terrance Popp’s story of being tracked and observed by something and the woods going quiet. He stayed up all night with a 12 gauge propped against a tree with a fire in front of him. For a highly trained and proficient outdoorsman to be spooked enough to be waiting all night locked and loaded lends it some creedence. This is the only way. 😂😂

    So many stories are very obviously normal wildlife, most people that stay outdoors a lot know that.

    Never go in the woods alone and unarmed, theres so many very normal threats much less paranormal or bizarre things. Id hate to fight off starving coyotes, mountain lion, or a grizzly because I think guns are yucky. Especially if theres a girl or kids to protect.
