As a park ranger in a state-run park in Appalachia, I've had my fair share of strange and terrifying experiences. I came across a video on Old Hillbilly Horror's YouTube channel featuring 17 true terrifying park ranger horror stories, and I just had to share. The video starts off with a ranger sharing her encounter with something strange in a cemetery near her park. She was making her rounds one night when she heard popping noises and saw large red glowing eyes reflecting from her flashlight. She couldn't shake the feeling that those glowing eyes would still be there if she flashed a light over the dark forest. As a fellow park ranger, I can relate to the feeling of being responsible for the safety of the visitors and the land, but also feeling vulnerable and out of place in the vast wilderness. This ranger's story reminded me of the importance of trusting my instincts and being prepared for the unknown. The video continues with more stories of strange encounters, including a story of a ranger who saw a large, hairy creature while on patrol. The creature was tall, with broad shoulders and a distinctive gait. The ranger couldn't shake the feeling that it was a Sasquatch. I found this story particularly exciting. I've always been fascinated by the idea of Sasquatch, and hearing a firsthand account of a possible encounter is always thrilling. The video also includes stories of ghostly encounters, unexplained noises, and eerie feelings in the park. Each story is told in a matter-of-fact way, making them all the more chilling. As a researcher of Squatchable, I encourage all of our readers to check out this video and share their own experiences. The video is a great reminder that the wilderness is full of mystery and wonder, and that sometimes, the unknown can be the most exciting part of the job. Excitement level: 7 out of 10.
