If you're a fan of the great outdoors and the unexplained, then you'll want to check out this video from Old Hillbilly Horror on YouTube. The video, titled "26 TRUE Terrifying Park Ranger Horror Stories (Dogman,Sasquatch, Wendigo,Werewolf,Bigfoot,Creepy)," features stories from park rangers who have had some truly chilling experiences while working in national parks. One particularly harrowing tale comes from a ranger who was on a backcountry trip in Yosemite National Park. They had set up camp near a small lake and were making dinner when a deer walked right past them. But this wasn't any ordinary deer - its face was completely rotten and covered in maggots. The ranger was so frightened that they dropped their poop kit and ran back to camp, only to find that all of their gear had vanished. The veteran ranger they were with was also missing, and there was no trace of any human activity in the area. The ranger tried to stay calm and started a fire, but things only got stranger from there. A blue bird landed nearby, but its head was just a skull with some decaying muscle tissue remaining. The ranger threw a rock at it and ran, eventually making it back to civilization. But when they went to their boss's office to demand answers, they were assigned to another trip without any explanation. The video features 26 stories like this one, all from park rangers who have seen and experienced things that cannot be easily explained. From Bigfoot to werewolves and everything in between, these stories will leave you questioning what really goes on in our national parks. I found this video to be both fascinating and terrifying. It's always interesting to hear firsthand accounts of unexplained phenomena, and these stories definitely deliver. If you're a fan of the paranormal or just enjoy a good campfire tale, then this video is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to sleep with one eye open tonight.
