Hey Squatchable readers!
Today, we've got a spine-tingling tale for you from a YouTube channel called Base Camp Chris. The video, titled "Solo Backpacker has TERRIFYING Encounter in MONTANA Wilderness!", tells the story of a solo backpacker named Jason who went on a trip to the Beartooth Mountains in Montana in 2015.
Jason, who had made this annual trip a tradition, decided to go north and west from Red Lodge to West Rose Bud Creek, a beautiful mountain canyon with a series of lakes. On the second night of his trip, he went off to gather firewood and when he returned to his campsite, he found that his tent and backpack were missing. He searched around and found his backpack, but his food was gone.
As he continued his trip, he heard strange noises in the forest, including giggling and a deep masculine voice that seemed to mimic him. He also noticed that a tree stump he remembered being there was suddenly gone. The video ends with Jason seeing a large, dark figure moving incredibly fast down a slope towards a creek.
This story is sure to send chills down your spine and make you think twice about going on a solo backpacking trip in the wilderness! Be sure to check out the video for all the details.
