Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, campfire crew, let's get it on. Now it's time
for the fun parts. I was suicidal and saw something
(00:23):
that stopped me by Michael X trigger Warning suicide. I've
been sitting on this for a while. I haven't told
anyone about it because it sounds fucking crazy, but it's
stuck with me for months and I need to get
it out. If anyone else has experienced something like this
in Texas, especially Central Texas, and I'd really like to
(00:47):
hear about it. Way back in September, I was going
through severe depression and was very suicidal. I came up
with a plan to kill myself, which was to jump
off of a water tower. When the time came, I
snuck out out of the house around one am and
began the twenty five to thirty minute walk to the tower. Now,
(01:10):
my original plan was to climb the water tower, but
when I got there, I noticed a radio tower pretty
close by and thought, yeah, that'll kill me for sure.
To get to the tower, I would have to cross
this field with an abandoned building off to the side.
It looked like it was made out of shipping containers.
I wasn't really focused on the building, just heading toward
(01:32):
the tower. But that's when I saw something that made
me stop dead in my tracks. On the far side
of the building. Something was peaking around the corner, just
the upper half of its body. I only saw it
for a split second, but it was tall, at least
eight feet tall, completely white and not shaped like any
(01:54):
animal I'd ever seen before, and it was fast. As
soon as it realized I'd noticed it, it turned and bolted.
I mean, the speed it moved with wasn't normal. It
was almost like it wasn't bound by the same laws
of physics we are. Like it was too big to
be that fast, and too smooth in the way of
move It was just too uncanny. Now, I just want
(02:18):
to clarify to everyone that I have never been much
of a spiritual or religious person up until that point.
I've always followed logic and reasoning, so when I saw
that creature, I immediately began thinking of reasonable explanations. At first,
I thought was that a cow because I did hear
mooing in the fields, so I assumed that what I
(02:40):
had seen was a cow. But when I got far
enough to see the area around the building, I saw
that all the cows were fenced in and far away.
There was nothing else around, and I mean there's no
way a cow could stand on its legs like that
and move at the speed that that thing did. What
really messed me up wasn't just the sight of it.
(03:03):
It was how I felt. The wave of dread that
hit me was overwhelming. I mean, not like normal fear.
It felt primal, like something inside me knew I had
to get out of there immediately. And here's the weirdest part.
I went there planning to die, but after seeing that thing,
(03:24):
I didn't want to die anymore. I was absolutely fucking terrified.
I've never seen anything like that before in my life,
and I don't have any history of hallucinations, and I
wasn't under the influence of any drugs. But what I
saw was absolutely real. I'm not saying it was paranormal.
(03:45):
I don't know, but it was real, real enough that
it made me turn around and leave when I thought
I was ready to die. If anyone else has seen
anything like this, especially near towers or isolated areas in Texas,

(04:11):
Hadron Short and not so sweet. I hope this story
is long enough for you. Back in nineteen ninety nine,
I was working for a company with some offices in
sunny Detroit, Michigan. I grew up and lived in a
town called Rochester, New York, and obviously nowhere near Detroit.
(04:31):
And while I had heard that Detroit was not a
great city, I still had to go. My company's main
office was there, with little branches and partner offices in
and around the city. They put me up in an
okay hotel, nothing fancy, but back then I was all
about fitness. I ran and cycled a ton on these
(04:52):
business trips. I couldn't take my bike, so I mostly
just ran. The hotel I was staying at had a
but it was shut down for remodeling, and they gave
me a voucher for a gym not too far away.
It was late when I checked in, and I had
to be at meetings by nine the next morning, and
I figured I'll just go for a run in the
early am rather than have to drive around to try
(05:14):
to find this gym. Anyone who's been to Detroit or
lives there is right now probably saying, dude, what were
you thinking going for a run in the morning in Detroit.
There I was at five point thirty, hitting the street
for that run. I started down the main drag my
hotel was on and memorized larger cross streets so I
(05:35):
could navigate my way back. And for a while things
were great. Everything was smooth. I saw some signs for
a park and I figured I could zip through there
and then make a big loop through a neighborhood and
come back to the main drag. Well, I wish someone
had told me where I was. As I made my
way down through these neighborhood streets, I realized I was
(05:57):
not only out of my elements, I was in over
my head. Nearly every other house was boarded up, yards overgrown,
and sometimes it would be three or five houses in
a row that were like that. Every so often there'd
be a tidy yard or a cluster of them. But
it was obviously a place that had seen better days.
(06:19):
And if it means anything to anyone, I found out
later that this area is the Brightmoor neighborhood. Anyway, as
I was running, I saw a group of guys sitting
on the front steps of a place that looked boarded up,
and one of them yelled out hey, yeah, hey to me.
There was no one else out there. I kind of
(06:39):
waved but didn't stop, and right as I was passing them,
they got up. I kept going, and then I heard
them yell, hey, man, come here, slow the fuck down.
I did a side glance over my shoulder and saw
that three of them were trotting across the front lawns
and into the street behind me. They kept calling out, hey, motherfucker.
(07:01):
I said, slow down, get your ass over here. It
finally dawned on me the number one I did not
belong in this neighborhood and number two I was about
to get my ass kicked, robbed, or both. After more
yelling and now I could hear their running steps on
the blacktop, I took off faster, and there was more
(07:23):
yelling and then a gunshot. I nearly pissed myself. I
was scared shitless. I lost all sense of direction. I
had no idea where I was going. I was just
trying to get away from these guys. I cut across
a corner lot onto another street, and these guys kept
running after me. Get back here, motherfucker. Then I heard
(07:44):
a voice yell out, get his shoes, get his shoes,
and another will kill you, motherfucker. A few houses down.
I was terrified. I had no idea where I was,
and I thought, honestly, I was going to die. Then
this car came screaming up from behind me, and now
I really knew I was done for. It blasted up
(08:06):
on my side, and I looked at a guy in
the passenger seat who yelled, YO, dumb ass, get in.
The driver slowed down, and for some reason, I said
a quick prayer, looked back at the guys chasing me,
and got in. I never once thought that I could
get killed by these guys in the car, but I
knew what was about to happen if I didn't. So
(08:28):
the car took off. Another shot rang out over the
loud exhaust on the car, and then I looked up.
You fucking crazy, man, said the driver. You gotta be crazy.
Those guys would have killed you just for your sneakers. Man.
I looked at both him and the passenger, two black
dudes with long dreads and winter caps on with the
(08:50):
Tigers logo. I could see the driver had a gun
in his lap, and the passenger turned around on me
and I for sure saw his gun in his hand.
What the hell are you doing out here, bro? I
finally stammered out, I was just going for a run,
and the passenger guy shook his head and laughed, damn, man,
(09:11):
you ain't from here, are you. You're in the belly
of the beast. Bro. I finally noticed the car reeked
of weed, and then I saw some Duffel bags next
to me on the back seat. I wasn't naivea what
was going on, but I really wasn't sure about the
powdery substance in those Duffel bags. But I wasn't too
stupid to know that these guys were clearly drug dealers.
(09:34):
Then the driver said, shit, man, you almost got fucked up. Lucky,
I'm in a good mood. Where are you supposed to be?
I told them what hotel I was in, and the
driver said he was going to drop me off in
the park nearby and I could get back safe from there.
Everything felt like a dream, like it wasn't really happening.
(09:54):
We pulled into this parking lot in the park and
the car stopped. The passenger show his head, dude, get
your fitness someplace else, bro, now get your ass out
of here. I got out, managed to say thanks guys,
and the guy just grinned this big smile, showing his
gold teeth. You got lucky today, motherfucker, You got lucky.
(10:16):
We came by. Then he turned to the driver, motherfucker's
going to get himself killed over some shoes bro Then
the car took off with a roar, and I was
left near a big intersection. I recognized the main road
and hauled asked back to my hotel, sweating and still
jacked to the be Jesus. The adrenaline took a long
time to subside. I called my boss and told him
(10:39):
what had happened, and he said he was going to
come and get me, to take it easy and to
try to calm down. When I met with him later,
he apologized for not telling me to avoid that area,
and then actually had me stay at his family home
for the next two days that I was there. So yeah,
it all ended okay, but for a few minutes it
was out of the front pan and into the fire.
(11:02):
To this day, I thank those two guys, some drug
dealers of all people, that found it in their hearts
to stop and get me out of there. Hands down,
the scariest thing that ever happened to me, and a
time I really thought I was going to die. I
haven't been back to Detroit since, and I don't plan
on going anytime soon. Unforgettable night driving by Toasty AVO,
(11:37):
I wanted to share a surreal experience I had while
driving my usual route from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Eureka, California.
For about two years, I've taken US ninety seven multiple
times a week, passing the stunning Mount Shasta. One night
towards the end of twenty twenty four, I was on
CRA twelve heading back to US ninety seven around nine
(12:00):
or ten pm. It was a clear night, and as
I was driving, maybe just five miles an hour over
the limit, I found myself gazing up at the beautiful stars.
That's when I spotted three lights in a perfect triangle formation.
They were completely still, no movement whatsoever. As I continued
(12:22):
to drive, I watched in awe as the lights remained stationary,
But within about thirty seconds I noticed a shape start
to form around them, and suddenly, out of nowhere, the
shape took off at an unbelievable speed, heading directly toward
Mount Shasta. If you blinked, you would have missed it.
(12:44):
By the time I passed a few tall trees, and
looked back. It was gone. I've never seen anything like it,
and it's a moment I'll never forget. Interestingly, while driving
past Mount Shasta, I often feel a mix of emotions.
Sometimes it's calming, and other times I get this eerie
feeling that makes me want to get away as fast
(13:05):
as possible. It's truly indescribable. Has anyone else had similar
experiences in southern Oregon or around that area? I'd love
to hear your stories. Strange encounter in the woods by
(13:27):
due Weather. I live near a patch of woods not
far from a few camping sites. There's an old basketball
court close by, stone floor, two rusty hoops that barely
stay up. It's pretty busted, but it's still our go
to spot when my friends and I want to hang out.
(13:48):
This happened on a warm day last summer. We headed
out to play some basketball, mess around, and just chill.
Everything was normal at first, just us fucking around, and
then we heard barking. It wasn't loud at first, but
it felt off like the pitch kept changing. Sometimes it
(14:09):
sounded close and sometimes super far away, almost like it
was moving around fast. My friend shrugged it off as
some dog from one of the campsites nearby, and I
didn't say much. I didn't want to seem weird for
being creeped out by a dog. We kept playing. About
ten minutes later, I missed a shot pretty bad and
(14:31):
the ball bounced off deep into the woods. Of course,
my friends made me go grab it, since I was
the one who messed up, and as I walked towards it,
something felt off. I couldn't explain why. I just had
that tight feeling in my gut, like I shouldn't be there.
The barking kicked in again, and this time louder like
(14:52):
it was really close. Still, I didn't want to make
a big deal out of it, so I kept going.
I bent down to pick up the ball, and that's
when it hit me, the sharp pain in my palm
out of nowhere, almost like my body was screaming at
me to get out. I grabbed the ball and ran back,
hand throbbing like crazy. I told my friends I was
(15:16):
done for the day, that my hand hurt too much
to play, and they asked what happened, but I just
said I didn't know. They kept playing and I sat
off to the side, trying to chill out, hoping the
pain would go away. After a while, the barking stopped
and things went quiet. That's when I realized I had
(15:37):
to pee, like really bad. I asked if they wanted
to go home yet, but my friends all said no,
they were still having fun. So I walked behind the court,
deeper into the woods where they couldn't see me and
relieve myself. And that's when things got creepy again. I
felt like someone was watching me, not just nearby, right there,
(16:00):
like behind a tree or something, and it was quiet,
too quiet. Then as I started walking back, the barking
started again. This time it was loud, and it honestly
felt like it was right behind me. My hands started
hurting again, even worse than before. I ran back and
(16:21):
told my friends I had to leave and made up
some excuse about needing to help my mom. And as
I got farther from the woods, everything started to feel
normal again. The pain in my hand faded and the
barking stopped. I never really talked about it. I figured
no one would believe me, or they just laugh it off.
(16:41):
But something happened that day and it still messes with
me a little. I don't know what it was, but
something out there. My best guess is a skin walker.

being creeped out by a dog. We kept playing. About
ten minutes later, I missed a shot pretty bad and
(14:31):
the ball bounced off deep into the woods. Of course,
my friends made me go grab it, since I was
the one who messed up, and as I walked towards it,
something felt off. I couldn't explain why. I just had
that tight feeling in my gut, like I shouldn't be there.
The barking kicked in again, and this time louder like
(14:52):
it was really close. Still, I didn't want to make
a big deal out of it, so I kept going.
I bent down to pick up the ball, and that's
when it hit me, the sharp pain in my palm
out of nowhere, almost like my body was screaming at
me to get out. I grabbed the ball and ran back,
hand throbbing like crazy. I told my friends I was
(15:16):
done for the day, that my hand hurt too much
to play, and they asked what happened, but I just
said I didn't know. They kept playing and I sat
off to the side, trying to chill out, hoping the
pain would go away. After a while, the barking stopped
and things went quiet. That's when I realized I had
(15:37):
to pee, like really bad. I asked if they wanted
to go home yet, but my friends all said no,
they were still having fun. So I walked behind the court,
deeper into the woods where they couldn't see me and
relieve myself. And that's when things got creepy again. I
felt like someone was watching me, not just nearby, right there,
(16:00):
like behind a tree or something, and it was quiet,
too quiet. Then as I started walking back, the barking
started again. This time it was loud, and it honestly
felt like it was right behind me. My hands started
hurting again, even worse than before. I ran back and
(16:21):
told my friends I had to leave and made up
some excuse about needing to help my mom. And as
I got farther from the woods, everything started to feel
normal again. The pain in my hand faded and the
barking stopped. I never really talked about it. I figured
no one would believe me, or they just laugh it off.
(16:41):
But something happened that day and it still messes with
me a little. I don't know what it was, but
something out there. My best guess is a skin walker.
