A former US Park Ranger shares chilling encounters in the backcountry A video posted on YouTube by Old Hillbilly Horror has been making the rounds among the Bigfoot community, featuring a former US Park Ranger sharing some truly terrifying experiences from his time patrolling various parks throughout the USA. The video, titled "17 TRUE Terrifying Park Ranger Horror Stories (Dogman, Sasquatch, Wendigo, Deep Woods,Creepy)," has caught the attention of many, as the ranger recounts his encounters with strange and unexplained phenomena during his patrols. In one particularly eerie story, the ranger shares an experience from 1991 when he was assigned to Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. His job was to patrol nearly 100 miles of backcountry and write reports on the conditions of several trails. While on patrol in the West End of the island, he stumbled upon a clearing near the greenstone area, an area well-known for its Native American history and reputation for being haunted. As he approached the clearing, he heard a strange noise that sounded like a long, low moan that changed to a loud sputtering noise. At first, he thought it might be a bear, but upon further investigation, he realized that the shape of the animal was too big to be a bear. The creature then disappeared, leaving the ranger feeling an overwhelming sense of danger. Two days later, the ranger received a distress call from the greenstone ranger station, where four people had reported being chased by a large black animal they believed to be Bigfoot. The witnesses described the creature as having a large snout, huge teeth, and large claws. While the rangers were unable to locate the creature, the witnesses' descriptions and the ranger's previous encounter have left many wondering if there is a connection between the two incidents. In another unsettling account, the ranger recounts a story from his time working as a National Guardsman in Grant's Pass. While camping along Upper Wolf Creek, he and his partner witnessed a massive bear sprinting through the underbrush, followed closely by a Bigfoot. The two creatures moved with incredible speed and grace, leaving the rangers in complete awe. These stories, among others, serve as a reminder of the mysterious and unexplained phenomena that can be encountered in the wilderness. While some may dismiss these accounts as mere folklore, the ranger's sincerity and the vivid details of his experiences lend credibility to his tales.
