Encounters x350 - Haunted Forests, Campgrounds & Appalachia

We love a peaceful walk in the forest, but sometimes there’s more than wildlife lurking between the trees. We’re venturing into the woods where cryptids, spirits, strange entities, and unexplained phenomena wait in the darkness, and these listener stories make the great outdoors feel a whole lot creepier after sunset. Stories include: One listener encounters a terrifying, unnaturally tall deer-like creature in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A strange stick doll found after a tragedy at a campsite triggers a streak of bad luck. A skeptic hears a child laughing in the Mississippi woods and later discovers the remains of an old home nearby. A correctional officer sees a mysterious figure moving through jail surveillance footage. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
