The Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming is known for its vast wilderness and rugged beauty, but as one camper discovered, it can also be the site of some truly strange and unsettling experiences. In a video posted to the YouTube channel Old Hillbilly Horror, a camper shares their encounter with a mysterious light in the forest, which they initially mistook for a forest fire or some other disaster. As the camper, who goes by the name Hess, explains, they were on a road trip in Wyoming, exploring the national forest and enjoying the great outdoors. They had recently purchased a new-to-them car, a 2008 Rav 4, and were eager to break it in with a camping trip. Hess met up with a friend in the forest and the two of them set up camp, enjoying a peaceful evening by the fire. But as they sat by the campfire, Hess noticed a strange light on the horizon. It appeared to be a car with its brights on, but as they watched, the light grew brighter and larger. Hess and their friend were puzzled and alarmed, wondering if they were in danger. They scrambled to pack up their camp and get away from the mysterious light, which seemed to be getting closer and closer. As they drove away, the light continued to follow them, growing brighter and more intense. It wasn't until they were almost blinded by the light that they realized it was the moon, rising full and bright in the sky. Hess and their friend laughed at their own paranoia, but the experience left them shaken. The video, which is part of a series of "true terror" stories, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the unknown. The Medicine Bow National Forest is known for its rugged beauty and remote wilderness, making it the perfect setting for a spooky campfire tale. While the light that Hess and their friend saw was ultimately explained, the experience highlights the power of the unknown and the human tendency to fear the unknown. If you're a fan of the paranormal or just enjoy a good campfire story, this video is definitely worth a watch. Who knows what other strange and mysterious phenomena might be lurking in the forests and wilderness areas of the world?
