Hello horror fans - and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube - Top 5 Scary
Videos - the place where our very lifeblood is the fascination with the weird, the wonderful
- and the bizarre - cobbled together into a nice, neat top 5 video list.
What’s going on guys - as per usual I’ll be your spirit guide Jack Finch - as we set
out into the deep, dark wood - stumble through the thorny thicket - and gasp in horror at
what lurks within the darkness - as we take a look at the Top 5 Scary Things Captured
On Camera In The Woods.
Roll the clip.
It’s no big secret that the woods harbour some pretty terrifying occurrences - it goes
with the territory really, you know - considering that for thousands of years, humanity has
retreated into the secrecy and shelter of the wilderness as a means to hide their intentions
from the prying eyes of society.
As children, we know that - in all likelihood - there’s a crafty woods witch lurking deep
within the forest.
As adults, we know that perhaps something even more sinister lies waiting.
Well - let’s take a look, shall we.

Kicking off at Number 5 - Spider’s In Dallas
And if you’re an arachnophobe - make sure to look away now, because this one’s going
to get a little bit hairy.
Picture this - an entire forest covered in a thick, enormous spider’s web.
Back in 2007, residents of Dallas, Texas were horrified to find something lurking in a nearby
forest.
It was pretty uncanny timing, really - considering that it was Labor Day weekend - and this particular
attraction unwittingly attracted over 3000 visitors.
Initially - it was thought that the web had been created by a gigantic species of spider
that had yet to be discovered - but it was actually found to be a blanket of many webs
created by millions of tiny spiders that had infested the forest.
Eventually - scientists discovered that the web was created by eleven different species
of spider - the most prevalent being the Guatemalan long-jawed spider - which already sounds terrifying
enough.
It was discovered that this gigantic web was the result of a mass dispersal event - millions
of tiny spiders floating through the atmosphere to ride air currents, following an unusually
wet summer.
I don’t know what’s more terrifying - the thought of a floating cloud of spiders - or
the thought of taking a stroll in the woods and getting caught up in Aragog’s summer
house.
Coming in at Number 4 - The Patterson-Gimlin Footage
Perhaps one of the most divisive pieces of paranormal footage ever captured - which has
resulted in decades worth of authentication and debunk attempts - and held up as the most
important piece of evidence for believers of Bigfoot.
The Patterson-Gimlin tape, captured way back when in 1967 by Roger Patterson and Robert
Gimlin - appears to show clear footage of a large, ape-like creature - covered in hair,
and startled by the two men.
Bigfoot.
The footage was filmed in Northern California, alongside Bluff Creek - a tributary of the
Klamath river, near a remote logging-road.
For decades - the exact location of the site was considered lost, overgrown with dense
foliage - but was rediscovered in 2011 and is held as a sacred site by Bigfoot enthusiasts
across the planet.
As the story goes, Patterson and Gimlin were riding their horses through the dense forest,
when they came upon the creek - and startled the creature as it crouched by the water.
I mean - it’s pretty clear footage, and as I see it - it’s either an elaborate hoax,
a person in a costume - or it’s actual, definitive evidence of a species that lives
out in the wilderness.
I dunno - what do you guys think?
Next up at Number 3 - An Injured Rock Climber
Now - this story is insane.
Back in 2014 - two hikers, Brenden Vega and Saylor Guilliams headed along a trail in Santa
Barbara, California - but their inexperience soon showed, and the rocky terrain was much
more treacherous than they’d planned for.
As it was getting dark, they tried to find a way back to their car - but in a turn of
panic, Guilliams fractured her left leg when jumping from a rock.
Things quickly got worse - their cell phones were dead, they hadn’t brought flashlights
- and a pitch black evening was quickly descending.
Vega tried to carry his injured companion, but he fell - shattered his glasses, breaking
his elbow and breaking her ankle.
It was a literal nightmare - and the pair planned for Guilliams to stay put while Vega
went to get help.
He was never seen again.
Guilliams lay in agony throughout the night - screaming until her lungs gave out.
No one answered her cries.
That is until - the next morning - when three other hikers stumbled upon the scene.
They didn’t know it at the time - but as they snapped some pictures of the beautiful
scenery, they had actually photographed Guilliams bright red hair as she lay silent in agony.
And then they saw her - delirious, tucked away behind a rock.
Thankfully - in a crazy turn of events, they managed to save Guilliams life.
If it wasn’t for her dyed hair, they may have never have noticed her.
Swinging in at Number 2 - Evidence In A Missing Person’s Case
And this really is a deeply tragic case - that is still shrouded in mystery to this day.
In 2014, two Dutch students, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon - set out on a hike out
in the deep jungle of Panama - and were tragically never seen again.
After not returning to the family they were staying with - the family began searching
the areas around their home, but found no sign of the girls.
After contacting the authorities - an aerial search of the forest, as well as a foot search
with the help of local residents went underway.
The Dutch police soon joined the investigation - but after ten days of solid searching, there
was no sign of the girls.
After ten weeks - the authorities slowed down their efforts - which is when a local woman
came forward with a blue backpack that belonged to one of the girls.
Inside - among other things - were both of the girls cell phones, which contained several
mysterious images of their last known location.
It is theorised that the images captured on camera were taken to utilise the phones flash
feature in an attempt to light their path in the darkness.
Two months later - the girls remains were discovered, but it raised more questions than
answers.
Some of the bones were blindingly white - as if they had been bleached, and they had no
marks to suggest signs of trauma.
Whatever happened to these girls, we may never know - yet it remains to be a tragic story
of the dangers of the wilderness.
And finally, at our Number 1 spot - Squamish, British Columbia
And god damnit - real or fake, I just absolutely love this video.
I’m not saying it’s necessarily proof of the existence of the Sasquatch - but the
fact that no human can move that fast, uphill - while walking through 3 feet of snow - is
pretty damn startling.
Back in 2014, Myles Lamont was hiking through Squamish, British Columbia, while he and a
friend camped at the side of the Tantalus mountain range.
There - they captured a large, bipedal figure - 7000 feet below them, making its way across
the low ravine.
Granted - the skeptics in all of us could find an explanation for this video.
The easiest being - you know, it’s just an elaborate prank.
Or - it’s a lost hiker, who just so happens to be incredibly physically fit and able to
cover difficult terrain in unusually quick fashion.
You see - the fact that the creator of this video is skeptical from the off - yet still
accepts the conclusion that this may be evidence of an undiscovered species - is pretty telling
in itself.
I’m not saying it’s Bigfoot - but there’s no denying that something doesn’t quite
add up in this video.
Well - what do you guys think - let us know your thoughts in the comment section down
below.
Unfortunately folks, that’s all we’ve got time for in today’s video - cheers for
sticking around all the way to the end.
