Hiker Vanishes Near Mysterious Stone Circle: Ranger's Chilling Encounter

Have you ever heard of the YouTube channel Old Hillbilly Horror? If not, you're missing out on some fascinating stories. One video in particular, "17 TRUE Terrifying Park Ranger Horror Stories (Dogman, Sasquatch, Wendigo, Werewolf, Bigfoot, Creepy)," caught my attention. As a park ranger, the storyteller shares his experiences with the strange and unexplained occurrences in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The video starts off by introducing us to the storyteller, a park ranger with over 20 years of experience. He's a proud member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and has seen his fair share of wild animals, stubborn hikers, and strange things in the woods. However, there are some stories that never made it into the reports, stories that most folks wouldn't believe even if he told them. The Blue Ridge Mountains are a beautiful place, but there's another side to them that's been there long before the first settlers arrived. The storyteller talks about how he's always felt a connection to these mountains, and as a child, his elders would tell him and the other kids to stay away from certain places, places where the trees grew too close together or the air felt too still. One of the most intriguing stories he shares is about a hiker who went missing near an Old Stone Circle. The hiker ignored the storyteller's warning and ventured off the trail, leading to a strange and unexplained encounter. The storyteller heard the hiker's voice calling out for help, but as he got closer, he realized something wasn't right. The voice sounded off, echoing strangely like it was bouncing around inside his head. When the storyteller arrived at the Old Stone Circle, he saw the hiker standing at the edge, facing away from him. But something was off about the hiker's body language, it was rigid and unnatural. The storyteller called out to him, but the hiker didn't move. He took another step closer and that's when he saw them, shadowy figures moving between the trees, circling him. The storyteller knew what they were, the yuns, the little people, mischievous but sometimes dangerous. He didn't need another warning, he turned and ran, not stopping until he was out of those woods and back on the main trail. The next morning, a search party went out, but they never found the hiker, no sign of him, not a scrap of clothing, not a footprint. It was as if he'd never existed. This video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast. The storyteller's experiences and the strange occurrences in the Blue Ridge Mountains will leave you questioning what's really out there. Who knows, maybe the next time you're out hiking, you'll hear a voice calling out for help from deep in the woods. Just remember to stay far away from the Old Stone Circles.
