48 hours alone - the most scared I’ve ever been while camping.

CAN'T BELIEVE I ACCIDENTALLY CAMPED HERE! Most scared I've ever been in a record breaking woodland.
After the mammoth social event that is Christmas I headed into a local woodland for some much needed solitude. Normally I don't mind camping alone, even as a solo female wild camper not much scares me, but this woodland was different.
I didn't know it when I first arrived, but this screaming wood, part of Derring wood near Pluckley in Kent, holds the world record for being the most haunted place in the UK.
It wasn't long before I started to find out why this place has a reputation!
Still, I do my best to spend 48 hours solo camping there, have a look around and even cook steak and chips round the fire, find out if after my dinner I had the courage to stay....
If you enjoy wild camping, stealth camping and travel, whether in a tent or campervan then stick around for regular van life and wild camping travel content!

    Just a tip, coming from an old soldier. When you solo camp in a forest take some 2mm para cord and run it around the trees surrounding your site, do this at knee height. If needs be attach some tins to rattle if the cord is disturbed. Great video.

    Something that’s always scared me as an outdoor enthusiast is not monsters, or animals, or ghosts or anything like that. For one, two of those things don’t exist, and animals really aren’t a big deal to me. But what really scares me is encountering people. Not other hikers, but just random people out in the middle of nowhere that really shouldn’t be there. People are scary, and far more dangerous than any animal.

We can still purchase concealed carry holsters there, and hell you can just tuck it in your waistband while on a night walk if you’re worried. Point is, guns are definitely not a rarity in Canada and they’re actually extremely popular.

    I don't think any sounds in the woods would scare me as much as the sound of human footsteps. I've rarely been afraid when camping because I feel so much safer in the forest than around people. That said, just because a person IS out in the woods at night doesn't mean they have ill intent. I'm a birder, and I've gone on night hikes to go owling, for example, and that certainly seems like an ideal spot to be doing such a thing!

    @@niqa246 Haha, I did that two weeks ago, while owling in the mountains. Okay, it was only 45km from the nearest town. I didn't have any hiking gear, but I did carry my phone to record owl sounds. Among other night birds, I got Northern Saw-whet Owl, which I hadn't heard in that area before. It is also in the extremely isolated areas of that mountain range that a birder has a chance hearing or seeing the extremely rare, extremely desired Northern Spotted Owl. They only live in the most remote, untouched and ancient parts of forest, and that kind of thing attracts birders. At night. I'm not saying it's always going to be innocent, just that there ARE innocent reasons people are out and about in the dark in remote locations. As I said, it's the scariest thing I could hear in the woods, and my mind would always go to "serial killer" but when I'm thinking about it rationally once I'm home again, I realize that there were many reasons someone would be out there... just like me. In my four decades of camping, hiking, and birding, I've had a few weird encounters with people. Some were scary, but thankfully I've never been hurt by any humans while out in the wilderness. They were always in the front country, or at least on popular trails, rather than the backcountry.

I will say, though - the footsteps did not come along with a light. so if it WAS a living human... did they have nightvision? not something most nefarious opportunistic people would carry. It's odd that there was no light. Even if they know the woods super well, if there's no moonlight it'd be difficult to get around and walk with such assured footsteps. Do you have large toads there?

Once your eyes adjust to the dark you don't really need a flashlight. I can bait a hook and have even tied on a few hooks in the dark. It also depends on the moon that night.

    About a year ago my sons and I went winter camping in a very remote part of Washington State. This area is so remote that we had to hike 5 miles from our rig to get to our camp spot. We like it because in fifteen years we have never seen another person there. Anyway, we ate dinner and went to bed. At around midnight I heard someone calling my name from the canyon next to us. To make thing even more weird it sounded like my grandfathers voice! Then this voice started calling the names of my kids but in the voice of my wife! It circled the camp at a pretty good distance for about a half hour and then left. Soon as light came we left as well. We never went back there.

    I've done a bit of winter camping this year in Canada. I remember one night waking up randomly in the middle of the night then trying to fall back asleep. As I was laying there I could hear footsteps just outside my tent. No reason at all for me to be hearing anything remotely human as I'd just hiked in through 2 ft of snow and about a km away from the road. I was just led down crapping my pants for what felt like an hour but was probably only 5 minutes. As I was listening to the footsteps in snow I noticed there was a pattern to it. Yeah, as it turns out it was my propane heater making the noise. Never been so relieved camping than I was that night. Ironically the heater I use is called Mr heater Buddy.

    ​@@gazcoleman Of course people camp in Australia! 😆 It's a very popular hobby here, lots of places to go. That said, most campers go to camp grounds where there's little threat from wildlife. But for the people who do like to camp in the wild, it's all about knowing your surroundings, same as anywhere else really. Snakes are only an issue in summer, they hibernate in winter, and as long as you don't set up camp next to a river with crocodiles in it, they're not going to be a threat. If anything, camping in the USA or Canada sounds way more dangerous! You guys have bears there that can rip open a tent, we don't have any large carnivorous land animals like that. A spider can be taken care of with a boot, a bear not so much! 😆

We'd already pitched our tent with great difficulty because the ground was so hard to get the pegs into, when we saw about 3 snakes ( different types too) heading down the sand dune opposite us, across the gravel road and right under the bush next to our tent! We stayed there for about 3 days and in the mornings the snakes came out from under the bush and headed back up the sandhill. They returned every day before dusk. We kept our tents zipped up good! 😂

    I solo camp in Australia and one night I swear I saw a ghost but that was nowhere near as freaky as the three times I had weird people just approach my camp in the middle of the night! One turned out to be a lost hiker desperate for some help which was cool but the other two times were creepy! Luckily I was awake and had a roaring fire going both times. One time a guy with a cowboy hat and a clearly visible hunting knife just slowly approached my camp at 2am with no sound or torch? He acted as if I couldn't see him? When he got within fifty feet I shouted "hey there" but he said nothing and kept approaching at the same rate so I stood up and grabbed my machete which I pointed at him. He stopped slowly turned around and just walked away at the same rate he arrived at, very creepy Wolf Creek vibes! Didn't sleep that night and left at dawn. The second time it was just as I was getting into my tent, luckily the fire was still going and I had placed dry twigs and leaves around my campsite, after I got in my tent I heard twigs breaking and leaves being crushed by footsteps but they were coming from two different sources? I grabbed my machete again and some pepper spray I bought online and jumped out the tent and turned on my headlamp, I couldn't see who it was but I could hear them stopping still and I could see a human shape behind a tree crouching down about 30 feet away, I just barked out in my deepest voice "you come any closer and I'll cut your throat!". I heard one set of footfalls slowly retreat while I watched the shape of the other one walk backwards into the bush and out of sight. I was terrified and if they had guns or if they were braver I might have ended up a missing person lost in the bush forever? I now have my German Shepherd as my camping buddy and nothing weird had happened with him around! The ghost encounter was kinda cool and unusual compared to the terror of some unknown psycho watching me from the deep bush! Always take some sort of weapon, be it a knife, a dog, a hatchet or a machete. You'll probably need it for wood chopping, cooking, cutting rope etc anyway 🤷

    For some strange reason every time you hear footsteps you pray for them to stop but when you hear footsteps and they stop it actually becomes much more scary I remember camping in a tent with my Grandma and she was in a deep sleep bit I wasn't and I heard Footsteps and I kept wishing they would stop they slowly got louder as if whatever it was is getting closer and I remember wishing they would stop but then eventually it did stop and my heart felt better but then I realized wait it stopped that means it's just There

    Very entertaining. Those noises really did sound like footsteps. The thought of someone wandering around your tent when you are sleeping is way more disturbing than the thought of ghosts. That tree stump with the face reminds me of when I was about 12 yrs old and my mate lived on the other side of the local park. To get home I had to go through that park. There was a narrow path with a tree stump on a hill which the path passed. At night that stump looked like someone crouching ready to pounce. It didn’t matter that I knew exactly what it was, I always legged it past that tree stump at night. Daft really. Anyway, great video and I can’t help wondering how Emily would have got on in those woods 😂 (I would have been bricking it).

One night while settling in to sleep inside the tent, a truck-light passing through the camp sites cast a light across our tent, and we saw an unmistakable shadow of a Civil War soldier running in front of our tent. I'm 42 now and I cannot forget what I saw.

    Hi Louise, another great video, i never used to believe in ghosts either until I lived in a 500 year old cottage in a village in Essex (Great Yeldham) many years ago, so many strange things happened there including our dog just standing at the foot of the stairs looking up and barking at nothng and my wife (at the time) her 5 year old nephew refusing to go up stairs for a wee before they left after a visit saying "the man said he would push me down if I come up stairs," things moving from one room to another, Im getting goosebumps just remembering this stuff. We ended up selling up and moving because of it, a few months later we found out the couple who bought it off us sold up too because of the strange things that also happened to them. I bet Emily was pleased she didnt go with you lol x all the very best to you, Emily AJ & Summer x from Nick

    Ahhhhhh ! From a female retired lone camper- to a much younger new one ! I camped alone all over the world in the early 90s, climbed up into some woods with my Djembe drum on the Island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, ‘‘twas an ancient wood called Los Tilos wood where prehistoric ferns still grow, La Palma is a protected Biosphere, and you may know it from the recent volcano eruption there. Anyway I reached the beautiful camping spot, which had a few local Spanish people cooking out on huge stone barbecue grates built beautifully into the huge rocks and a smaller cave covered with the greenest moss I had ever the delight to see. As the sun went down, every single person left, I was really happy built my fire filled my stomach , and sat down in front of my fire tv and played my djembe drum. I had never before experienced such a sudden change in energy and sound in the woods anywhere in my life. Suddenly it was pitch black and not a single sound could be heard, all the birds, seagulls , and moving brush sounds of nature came to an eerie abrupt, as if ordered, end. Not a single sound, I felt a sudden urgent need to put my fire out jump in my tent zip it up, and get the hell to sleep. I was that hard 😅 I had never felt afraid camping alone, not ever. Not even on uninhabited ( by humans at least) Islands. As I climbed into my green maggot, for no reason I found myself struck by a real sense my life was in imminent danger and I was frozen in literal terror, there was only one sound the sound of approaching heavy small feet, as the four or five- of whatever they were - drew closer and closer to my tent ( how? No moon and I couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face) were they walking across a steep 100ft ravine, down a path whilst talking in these incessant terrifying whispered voices, surrounding my tent , stepping around and around endlessly with their small feet , as if they were discussing what they were going to do with me!. I stopped breathing lest they heard me, whilst hot tears rolled silently down my cheeks, I was trapped sitting bolt upright !Glacier! frozen in terror. I sat like this for what seemed an eternity, until it was as if they lost interest in me the tent or the drum; they moved off some 30 ft away behind me still whispering menacingly the only thing I was sure of was that they were pint sized little people with voices; I remembered the back shaped rock that I had been playing my Djembe on, (So dam loudly) I made another horrendously loud zipping noise, darted for that rock in the blackness, and dug till my fingers were bleeding faster than Bolt can run 100 meters, I had curled into a foetus position with my back against that rock, and covered my body and face with dirt and leafs and small pieces of dried twig. I laid there with my hand over my mouth and nose and very strangely fell straight to sleep for what seemed like five minutes, the breaking sunlight through the ancient forest trees awoke me, and the sound of nature so beautiful all around me. I was alive ! I , to this day, will never forget this experience nor ever understand it, save for, when I reached the village of Los Sources’ for coffee, on asking an old Spanish man about the woods, he replied “ You look like you have met the little ones, with a big grin on his face, as he took another puff on his cigarillo ; did you sleep in Los Tilos haunted wood in the night”? “Crazy English girl” still laughing he assured me no one ever sleeps up there who is an Islander. This is a true story, you are the third person I have ever recounted this too in my life, one of the other persons being an African Shaman, Yosuila smiled and simply said with a glint of sunshine in his eye, “ digging that dirt and covering yourself with it was the best thing You could have ever done”. Thank you for sharing your night with us on KZread where you were also unaware of where you had found yourself, You were very brave staying the next night too ! look what I remembered because of you, I look back at that night now with wonder and awe , very contented , with not knowing. This planet is truly an unexplored place by most, I’m glad your Journey bounced with mine, for long enough to share something that otherwise might have been lost in time. With the deepest respect Alaya Shunyata.

    The dark, in the woods, alone can sometimes play with your head - even for a seasoned camper/bushman. It's highly unlikely it was a human walking in the woods at night. After all, they would likely need a flashlight to see where they are walking especially considering your camp was not emitting light, or else they would be making far more noise than merely the sound of footsteps while they stumbled through the woods. You're much more likely to encounter trouble during the daylight.

    Shiey goes on night hikes all the time to abandoned places, especially during his two trips into the chernobyl exclusion zone. And yes when he got to Pripyat he heard tons of weird noises and footsteps everywhere. Why? Cause tons of explorers, aka stalkers explore the place on the daily, even during the night an entire group of stalkers stumbled into their abandoned hotel room. There is an entire community of night hikers, some hiking with no torches and relying on moonlight. Should also note that night vision exists.

    The footsteps were not indicative of a wild animal, as they were repetitious and with rhythm, wild animals do not do this unless they are spooked and running away. Those were most definitely human footsteps and I believe you underestimate the ability for a human to navigate without light, as I do it in the forest all the time from the hours of 23:00 to 02:30

Unless their was a homeless person who knows exactly her camp there is no way a human can walk through a dark camp even with moonlight. Open trails are hard enough as it is just by moonlight and unless you are walking a known trail or path you are going to crush, break and snap stuff.
