In a chilling video posted to the YouTube channel "Woodsman," three park rangers share their eerie encounters with the unknown in Yosemite National Park. The first story comes from Jason Brooks, who has been a ranger in the park for eight years. He recounts the unsettling discovery of a perfectly preserved campground, whose owner seemed to have vanished into thin air. Brooks and his partner, Alan Henderson, were on patrol in the northeastern part of the park, an area known for its rugged wilderness and sparse meadows. As they approached a temporary camping area, they noticed a tent in the middle of nowhere, complete with neatly folded belongings and warm food. The owner of the camp was nowhere to be found, and the rangers were left with a sense of unease. The pair waited for 15 minutes, hoping the hiker would return, but no one showed up. They decided to investigate further, but the only tracks leading away from the camp suddenly disappeared, as if the person had been lifted into the air. The rangers logged the sighting and waited for help, but as night fell, they realized they would have to spend the night nearby. In the morning, three more rangers joined them, and they searched the area for any sign of the missing hiker. They found nothing but the man's gear and his name was added to the missing persons list. Brooks couldn't shake the feeling that something strange had happened, as there were no signs of struggle or animal interference. As time went on, rumors of big footprints began to appear, and Brooks couldn't help but wonder if the disappearance was connected to the mysterious tracks. The official report closed the case as a missing hiker with no reason given, but the rangers couldn't help but feel that the story was not over. This video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast. The rangers' stories are both chilling and intriguing, leaving viewers to wonder what really happened in Yosemite National Park.
