Lost boy claims there were creatures in these woods 

My friend was in the navy as a chopper pilot. He was called to an emergency at sea, a boat had sunk, the parents drowned, but the children survived because the dolphins were holding them up.

I hate seeing animals mistreated so when my husband brought a kitten home I reluctantly excepted him. That kitten grew to be a beautiful cat who favored my husband as a sleeping buddy. I woke one morning with a terrible headache, I stayed in that condition for a little more than 12hrs(my worked two jobs) and not one minute did Mr Taffy leave from beside me. As soon as my husband put his key in the door he ran to him with a meow I never heard then came back quicky in the bedroom which made my husband move faster than usual, he called the ambulance. I didn't know I had bleeding on the brain but I believe Mr Taffy did❤

I was a small kid and always bullied. I could hide somewhere and cry till I felt better. Our neighbour had this kitten, I never minded cats and she never gave af about me either. So one day inwas beaten, mom wasn't around so I had nowhere to run to for comfort. I went behind the house and sat down crying. Suddenly, this neighbour's cat came to me and sat on my lap, I forgot about crying! I felt peace inside. Since then, I love cats. That cat inspired me to love animals. I'm 24 now and a veterinary assistant. I never looked back since that day. I'm always there if an animal needs me❤

My grandmother experienced something similar when she was a kid. I am from a small state in India and my grandmother is from a very remote rural village. Their village got roads and electricity just recently. The people living there have been living with nature their whole lives. My dad used to tell me about what happened to her when she got lost in the forest once when she was very young. My grandma's an orphan and was running away from her family or something and then got lost in the forest. She cried and cried until a tiger approached her. The tiger protected her and led her back to her village. We have an old saying that tigers or wild animals have a lot of love for orphans and children who are vulnerable. That they will always protect them because they can sense their vulnerability. My grandma survived because of that tiger. But sadly the wild animals are extinct in that area because of poaching😢 humans really are the worst kindsof animals. Its shameful.

There was a girl in Ethiopia who was kidnapped and the men tried to rape her. 2 lions came and attacked the men and stayed next to the girl. Her parents came and they allowed them to get her. Animals are amazing. I enjoyed everyone sharing their stories.

Been a woodsman for over 40 years. I have seen and heard things that can't be explained. I won't go in the woods alone at night. Not even with my gun.

I'm also in awe of David, the 8yo who found him! Comfortable riding solo at 8AM, chin up and head on a swivel. He saw someone in need and RECOGNIZED the need for action, then he took action. Two brave young men who I would guess have great parents who teach and guide them with great love and care. Thanks to everyone sharing their amazing stories in this comment section!

My neighborhood's rough old feral tom cat disliked people. A lot. But one day he approached me, looking directly into my eyes, making really strange noises. I was a bit freaked out, thinking he must have rabies or something, if he was willing to approach a human. I talked to him a little, looked him over for injuries from a couple feet away. He kept up his insistent monologue for a few minutes. I was confused. Then he darted away. I went in the house. Within about a minute, the house was hit by THE HEAVIEST, most sudden rainstorm we'd ever experienced. I think the cat had felt the vibrations through the ground, of something major approaching, and came to warn me to take shelter. Protective instincts are real.

Not a wilderness story here but still in the same vein about animals. When my Mom died I went to pick up her cat to come live with me. Now this cat would run away from people, even my Mom, and NEVER let you touch her (turns out she had colitis and was in pain. I took her to the vet and with a few pills she was cured :) So, she would never let anyone touch her…but the night I brought her home, I was laying down and crying on my bed, and she jumped up and came to me🥹 She taught me that animals are earth angels. Her name was Prissy :)

Since everyone is sharing stories about experiences with animals I'll share mine. I've always been afraid of dogs because when i was 4 a seemingly friendly one bit my 6 year old sisters face and ripped part of her lip off, she had it stitched back on. So anyway when I was 16 I had got expelled from school for absences and was walking home. As i was walking i noticed a group of gangster looking kids across the street from me and instantly got this bad sick feeling like they were going to do something evil. I kept my head down and ignored them but pretty soon they started yelling at me and throwing rocks. They were just about to run over to me when out of nowhere these 2 large Rottweilers come running up beside me. I hear the gangster kids go,"woah. Wtf?" I felt a bit scared but the dogs just stayed on either side of me, they didnt even make eye contact with me the whole time and they stayed on either side of me all the way home which was about a mile. They casually walked away as soon as I started walking up my driveway. Idk where these dogs came from but i believe they saved my life. I think they saw the gangster kids throwing rocks and harassing me, felt I was in danger and came to protect me. It is one of the coolest, most unexplainable experience I've had.

I remember my grandmother telling me a story of a little boy being lost in the ocean and a dolphin saving his life from a shark by giving him a ride back to land. I always thought it was such an amazing story. I don’t remember where or when it happened but she had been born in Germany, moved to Ukraine, back to Germany, then to Brazil and then the USA. She saw many things in her life!

Reminds me of an article that I read about a family who got into a car crash and only the son made it out alive. As the boy was walking and trying to find help, it was getting dark and he was getting tired and decided to lie down and go to sleep. The boy then felt warm fur next to him and thought it was a dog. But when he woke up, it was a family of beavers that found him and kept him warm. The boy was later found (obviously), but because of how cold it was that night, he would have died of hypothermia

well here in Colombia 2 little kids and a baby (about 6 months old) were found the other day after having survived 40 days alone lost in the Amazon after their plane crashed. Nobody knows how they survived that long with so many dangers. Their mother died in the crash and they were malnourished so they were taken to a hospital for a full checkup. Social services is taking care of them but still...it really is a miracle they survived. Personally I think something or someone was looking out for these kids making sure they survived long enough to be found by the army and volunteers.

My mom told me a story from a person from her home town. A friend of the family (a girl) was working in another town. The bus back to town was always the last one and she walked at night from the bus stop to home like 2 miles on a trail to the town.She was the only person in that town at that time and she said that walking at night with forest in both sides for the trail a little dog started walking with her all the time. Every single day and when she arrived to the town the dog disappeared. At first she thought probably the dog was from a family and it was just walking around at night. But eventually she said it was more like a guardian angel. Walking with her. When years later the electric company started to put light at the town she didn't see the dog again.

When my son was about 11 years old him and his best friend rode their bikes to the park near our house. He said that they were the only 2 people at the park when an owl flew out of the woods, perched on a fence, and stared at them while they were there. As they were heading back home, he said the owl flew off the fence and flew above them the whole time until they made it back home. He ran in the house because it was scary to him, but I told him maybe it was watching over them🤷🏽‍♀️

Amazing beautiful God sent those animals to protect this little boy Thank God everyone that he's ok and was found ! 🙏👏💯🕊️

One time when I was in senior high, growing up in a rural area, I was underage drinking with some friends. We all decided to break off into groups during that night and as most everyone paired off to make out or go find the others, I found myself alone. I was very drunk, could hardly walk (yes, I know great friends, huh?) I decided to try walk to my "cool" aunt's house across town not knowing anyone else in the community who I was close enough to who wouldn't call my parents to come get me & therefore get me into a lot of trouble, being not even 18 yet. It was pitch dark out with people's yardlights far between long stretches of gravel roads. I remember a heavy set women, maybe about in her mid 20's walking up to me on the road & asking for a cigarette, she seemed drunk too and I swear I had seen her before but couldn't place her name. She started joking around with me as we chatted and complained that she couldn't walk anymore and that we should go see if this abandoned house was open so we can rest there until it gets light out, it was about 3AM during summer, with daylight being only about a couple house away I agreed cos I was so drunk. She tried all the doors and finally found a window where we stepped into this abandoned house that still had all the furniture, there was no power but the water was running cos I remember getting a drink. We laid down on a sofabed and I still remember talking to her when I finally glanced over where she was and there was no one there. I know I didn't pass out and miss her climbing back out the window, she was just gone. To this day I swear, she was a ghost who kept me company quite possibly saving me from getting lost or run over on the road. When I think about it, I feel a terrified feeling in the pit of my stomach cos maybe she may have been the person who used to live in that house. 😕👻

My grandfather was a cowboy and worked for a cattle association. He was posted in cabins up in the mountains to watch the herds. His family stayed with him in the cabins. My mom grew up going from cabin to cabin, the forest was her realm as a child and she ran up and down many forested hills. Near the end of her life, my sisters took her up in the mountains to look for acorn. Late in the afternoon mom was sitting on the tailgate of the pickup just looking around. A group of deer strolled across the dirt road. A doe left the group and quietly walked up to mom and stood by her. She let mom pet her snout and head. Mom was grinning ear to ear and chuckling and talking to it. Then it slowlu walked back to its group and they disappeared in the trees. My sisters were watching from a distance not wanting to interfere. My sister said she felt a pang in her heart and thought, "I think the forest is saying goodbye". That did turn out to be the last time mom vistited the mountains. She went into hospice then eventually died of alzhiemers.

I live in the big woods in the mountains of NC and we have a big momma mountain lion that patrols through our property. She has free rein of our woods and she keeps the bears away from the house and yard. We see her regularly, at least a couple times a week in the woods at the edge of yard. I can’t explain it but she’s a friendly neighbor

We grew up on a house at the end of a cul-de-sac where a bunch of kids lived in the 90's. One night we were all out biking, playing, etc and a big long haired black and white dog came trotting down the street right to our house. This dog hung out all day and was collared so we called the owners and they picked him up. Next day were out and here he comes again! Then again... maybe a week break... then again. He would just hang out in our front yard like he lived with us. The owner got so tired of fetching him that he fully told my Dad to just keep him, so we did! His name was "Bodhi" but my parents re-named him Butch lol. What's wild is that my Dad only mentioned this once but he actually believed that Butch was a reincarnation of his dead dog Zacate who was really smart. If you saw photos, they looked extremely similar. Both large, black and white. Butch just had slightly longer hair. RIP... Butch had cancer and died like 23 years ago.

My brother was lost in the mountains when he was little. The volunteers and family members kept looking for him. He had trail mix and two bottles of water in his backpack. The weather was starting to get cold. The first night he said he had dogs keep him warm as he fell asleep. He said they got him to walk by pulling on his pants plus he said they walk with him between them side by side He stayed out two nights and they kept him warm. On the third morning they got him to where the volunteer camp had been setup. Two guys were taking care of the camp when they heard wolves howling and my little brother walking with them. The men went out to him and wolves got back and watched until they saw he was with them and they turn and ran away.

I believe animals know the difference of a child....they sense the innocence and vulnerability.Just like we do with puppies.Animals are underestimated..they are intelligent creatures.

Not related but after my childhood pet and honestly my spiritual animal guide, she was a cat I had since a baby to 18, I told her one night she could pass and said my goodbyes, she waited till I feel asleep at like 4 in the morning, at 7 my mom woke me up to say she passed in my sisters closet, I was really depressed after that and me and some friends went on a trail walk to help with my mood, and we were looking at the clouds, and it was LITERALLY the face of MY bigkitty my cat in the clouds looking at ne, I started hysterically crying asking them if I’m hallucinating, they told me I was just crying at a cloud but I saw it with my own eyes it was her face specifically and so obvious in the clouds. To this day idk if it was my grieving brain playing with me or if it was my spirit guide saying to let go. I still love that cat with all my heart I to this day have no clue how no one else saw her in the cloud but it’s crazy

People are dropping animal stories left and right, but not talking about the fact that Sasquatch saved this child😢

I have a friend who did search and rescue on Mt Saint Helen's. There was a lost kid they searched all day till it got dark, the search continued in the morning they found him a short time after later under a cedar tree. He told them two elk laid with him all night. My friend said you could see where the elks were bedded down under the tree.

In the era of newspaper, i used to buy a newspaper and read when walking. Note the newspaper would block my vision since i held it up and it would tower over me but since im walking home the same route from school i dont need to see. Once i deviate from my usual route and took a short cut, suddenly, i felt a branch hit the back of shoulder with such force that i shout ouch. I stopped and look behind me, there was nothing, then i looked up and i saw a tree with tree branch hanging above me. Then i thought, how did the tree branch hit the back of me since its so high up. Then it should have hit my newspaper but i didnt feel the newspaper being hit. I bring down the newspaper to think further thats when i realized in front of me was a small cliff with multiple rocks which in one more step, well i would fall off and probably break some teeth. I turned and lookup to the tree, said my prayers and thanks and thread down the cliff carefully

I have had animal's all of my life. I am 63 years old. Animals are cool. I know i would sure have a very empty life without them. My 2 girls love them as well 😊😊

I love how everyone is sharing their stories and im reading as many as i can..love it❤

Not quite the same drama 😂 but as a toddler I went missing from my garden, was gone for about an hour or two, the whole street were searching for me, they found me in a garage that a neighbour used as a kennel he had about 6 dogs and I was fast asleep in the middle of the pack they had all curled up around me protecting me. I only lived at that house as a baby/toddler but I have a memory of the inside of that lockup mostly the quality of light coming through the plastic corrugated roof and a black and white dog. Animals definitely are capable of emotion and compassionate behaviour, how some humans think they are not sentient amazes me! 💚

I was recently attacked by a dog. Bystanders said I was in shock and unfortunately couldn’t move (don’t judge because we all can say what we THINK we’d do in certain circumstances). The dog had bitten me in 5 places and was lunging for my face or throat (don’t know which it was going for) and they said another dog ran full speed ahead and knocked it down midair. I believe that dog saved my life or at least much more severe damage and disfiguration. Some guardian angels have four legs and fur. 🐕 Thankful God was looking out for me and obviously many others from the comments I’ve read.

Animals have always had better humanity towards us than we have ever had towards them

Those animals he was seeing were his guardian angels. They weren't there to hurt,but to protect and guide him to safety. My grandfather was full blood Sioux and they have many,many stories of animals being guardian spirits/angels who watch over the very innocent and scared people as long as they are good people. I believe this boy was truly a good and worthy young man and they helped him.

My car broke down last year and I had to walk 8 miles down a path off the road. And a huge female dear followed me staying about 6 feet behind me. When I got to the edge of town she just disappeared into the woods. It was the strangest thing ever. If I stopped to rest, she would just stop and graze whi)e I rested...then continued on following me.

This is definitely one of the longest times I've spent reading the comments section - thanks everyone for sharing so many amazing accounts!

So many stories about lost children being protected from the elements and assisted by the animals ❤

This is easily the coolest comments section I've ever read.

I read a story of wild deer who gathered around a lost child freezing in the woods, and the warmth from the deer probably saved the child's life.

Man, it must be great to live somewhere where you can still be a kid and just go out riding your horse. Just riding. Out.

Recently some of my family and I were up in the Blue Ridge Mountains on a riverbank to spread some of our deceased family members ashes. As we watched their ashes flow down the riverbank in a tiny biodegradable boat that eventually sunk and when it did three geese flew down and landed right by us. We all knew in our hearts and souls that this was confirmation that they are still with us. That energy doesn’t die it just transforms into something else.

When I was a like 11 yrs old I would always sneak out of my house at night to go to friends houses but weird thing was all the sudden this huge dog started following me everywhere I went at night I was scared but it stayed a distance away Eventually I got used to it One night I was walking home and I hadn’t seen the dog that night A man pulled over and asked me if I needed a ride So I got in his truck and just before he could drive off, the whole truck shook The big dog that looks like a wolf jumped in the back of his truck The mans whole demeanor changed he drove me exactly where I wanted and sped off when the dog and I got out I had this feeling of dread suddenly overcome me. This realization that I was supposed to die that night The dog just stared at me like if it knew what I just realized For the first time he let me touch him I pet his head and I never saw the dog again As an adult I realized it wasn’t a wolf but it was a huge Alaskan Husky type Also I wonder if he was a guardian angel

When I was seven years old, my little sister and I got lost in the woods behind our house in the country. I knew, even then, if I got lost to stop walking and wait for rescue. A little while after I we stopped, our dog Willie showed up. We just followed her back to the house. My Mom never knew about that day.

We had a German Short-hair Pointer when I was a baby. Apparently, if i tried to get through doors or into cabinets, the dog would pick me up by the back of my Oshkoshs and take me back to my play area. I was under 3, so I don't remember, but I do remember her being my pillow for years. I'd get a GSP again.

I read many stories posted here and am touched

One of the most surreal moments in my life was when I was in the 4th grade and I went on a camping trip with my school. One early morning I decided to get up and go to the lake near the camp ground to enjoy the view alone. During this time 2 swans were swimming by and I remember thinking to myself I would like to pet them. At that moment they turned towards me and got out of the lake and started walking towards me. The whole time I stayed calm trying not to scare them. I reached my hand out to touch one and right before I could another kid on the trip showed up and started screaming and call people to come see the swans. Once this happened they both turned around and calmly went back in the lake and left. Such a beautiful moment to experience. I never saw them again the rest of the trip.

I remember one night, my cousin and I were playing hide and seek. We loved to play when it was dark at night. For some reason, we thought it was more fun. I mean, I grew up not fearing the dark. It was part of our upbringing. However, this night, I went looking for him way into the woods. Instead, what I saw changed how I see the darkness and the woods forever. There it was, what appeared to be a werewolf under a Guava tree. He must have been at least 7ft tall. He was skinny yet shredded with muscles. I saw long arms, long fingernails. He was staring at the moon, and did not realized I was watching it. Something tapped my shoulder and whispered into my ear “time to go”. I told my cousin, did you see that under the Guava tree? He looked at me as if I was crazy. I told him, you tapped my shoulder and told me “it was time to go”. After I described the creature, we both ran to our houses. Never spoke about it again. I’m 34 years old and I’ve never forgotten that encounter and who tapped me and whispered “time to go”.

I do not have an animal survival story, but recently, I've started to mourn the fact that puppies & kittens are taken away from their moms to be sold/given away. I KNOW ANIMALS ARE SMART, INTUITIVE & HAVE FEELINGS. How can they NOT feel sad when their babies are taken from them? How humans can think that this is ok????? Just knowing how bears, deer, tigers, elephants and other "wildlife" ferociously protect their babies & people think this emotional protection doesn't translate to cats & dogs. It's cruel.

This was a hunter on our Rez. While he was hunting he fell off a cliff and broke his ankle. It was a cold night and hungry. Afte getting conscious he notice there was a fire and 2 fresh fish that was beside him. Later on that night little men came to his aid and kept the fire going for him for 2 days. Those little Men kept him alive and fed him. 2 days past and my cousin is an EMS found him. The Rangers know a lot weird things happen on our Rez. They keep quite so they won't chase off the tourist. Some are good and the others are bad. The other hunter got terrorize and assaulted by them , him and his wife. My friend was a ranger . He made the report on it but they told him to keep quite. The first was at Wild Monkey area, scary place. The other was at Hidden Valley.

This happened with my grandmother who is no more.. she got married young.. once she had gone to her parents place.. she would often visit her friends place there and would frequently come home late.. it was her village n safe place and she knew her way around..one time she was on her way back n it was quite dark.. she had to walk through forest to reach home.. on her way she saw some very tall men in white robe in the middle of the forest/ jungle offering prayer.. she stood there very quietly so as to not let them know of her presence.. non of them talked..they simply finished their prayer and disappeared.. my grandmother didnt go home that day instead she quietly turned back to where she had come from.. she said they only looked like humans but were nothing like humans..

Back at n like 2000 in Tampa me and a buddy we’re out on a skiff fishing and and wandered pretty far out-we couldn’t see land anymore. We noticed a storm coming in-which is already too late-and started heading back but the storm caught us. We were pretty freaked out because we knew we were way out of our element. Then all of a sudden as we’re punching it back trying to find MacDill two dolphins 🐬 started swimming on either side of the boat and jumping and guiding us where we could have just reached out and touched them. It was utterly amazing and we immediately felt safer because of them. They swam back with us for like an hour and a half and we still believe to this day they saved our lives out there 😮

This is probably the most positive, wholesome, and harmonious section in the history of RU-vid.

When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, we would go visit my grandmother. She would make us pallets on the floor (there were 16 of us). Then all of us cousins and siblings would lie awake as long as we could because the grownups were in the kitchen drinking coffee and telling stories, many of which were like the ones in this comment section. There were lots of hunting stories. They were usually spooky and where they would see something no one could explain. Actually, these were wakes many times, so there would be a body laid out in the house, too, at these times. Whoo, good times.

As a US Army infantryman, I can tell you that this kid covering 30 miles in less than 24 hours is the real mystery. Just walking? No F’n way

God sends help and comfort in a variety of ways.

I live near the great dismal swamp and I too have seen and heard sounds no single animal can make. I made sure my daughter's stayed out of the woods and never followed any sound coming from them. After decades of it coming through here I love the wood but won't go deep into them. Truth is stranger than fiction. The sounds they make are spine chilling and even my vet tech daughter couldn't make out the sounds.

When I was 16 I walked 3 miles in the dark rainy cold woods in northern Switzerland to reach civilization. How did I end up getting lost there? Long story. The whole time footsteps of an animal something like a fox or wolf followed me but never attacked. I was numb.

One of the first books I read as a child was "Incident at Hawk's Hill", a true store about a little boy who was cared for by a badger family while he was lost in the woods for an extended time. Nature is so much more than we understand.

Because we share a roots of life...every creature and organism will have a connection and vibrations.

As an avid hiker covering 30 miles in a day on an established trail is no small feat. This kid stumbles through overgrown brush and cross country terrain... To arrive safe and healthy is damn near a miracle, someone was watching out for this little guy ❤

We had been visiting my mom's aunt in the countryside in a small town when i was around 11, i had gone out to the small store they had with my cousin but it was getting dark, and as we were playing and running around, i ended up losing her, and i didnt know my way back. The town was small, but it was very dark out, and there wasnt really an order to it. I was getting frightened, this town had been built over rural graves, and my brother had been telling me about how this place was haunted which made me paranoid. I had played with a couple of stray dogs earlier but by the time i found myself in one of the bigger streets they were gone. The town was oddly silent as well, maybe everyone went to bed early, or it was just something normal of small countryside towns. I remember the stairs, as this little town was on a hill, were stone, and soon i started hearing the clacking of claws on it, when i turned around there was a big black dog staring at me. You see, my mother's uncle wasn't exactly a superstitious man, but he was full of myths, old wives' tales, and ghost stories. Earlier that day, as he was truly still a child inside, he had been giving us sweets as he told us countryside superstitions while we pet the neighbor's cats. At that moment, one of them came to mind. My great uncle had told us that in lonely, quiet places like this one, when night fell and everything became dark, if you saw a black dog, you should run until you found yourself some light. You see, he had said this was no regular dog, this was a collector of souls, and found the souls of lost individuals specially tasty, specially if you were bad, most of the time this creature would produce a whistle, if you heard it then you were as good as dead. Now, i know how silly that sounds, however it had spooked me 16 years ago. The dog stared at me, and my hands were clammy, the dog walked towards me and i couldnt move. I had never been scared of animals before having grown surrounded by them. The dog didnt seem particularly interested in eating me, even if its eyes glowed in a particular way whenever whatever little light there was hit it in the right way, menacing. It walked past me and i turned around to watch it, when i didnt follow it stopped, and turned its head around, watching me again, i understood then it wanted me to follow. I still felt uneasy, but i got the feeling this dog was not going to hurt me. Eventually, we came across the correct road my great uncle's house was in. The dog sat down and I walked onwards, it watched me the whole time, when i got to the house and opened the gate, i turned around one more time and the dog was no longer there. As i closed the gate behind me, i heard a soft but clear whistle. I almost jumped out of my skin, but then i was greeted by my cousin who said she had been looking for me but when it became dark she came back home guessing id be here, but when she didnt see me, she decided to wait for me in the front garden for me bcs she didnt wanna tell anyone she had lost me, she was two years older than me and didnt want to get in trouble. I asked her if she had heard a whistle, but she didnt. That night i left with my parents to go back to the city, as i looked through the window while we left town, i swore i could occasionally see a black dog following us. By the time we got home, i was asleep, when i woke up the next day, i woke up to the news that my aunt who lived with her parents, my great uncle and great aunt, had passed away in the odd hours of the night. She had been sick for a while, but it was still unexpected, according to my great aunt the last thing my aunt had said before passing was that she could hear a whistle. It was probably a coincidence, the supernatural born out of a frightened child's mind influenced by an old man's tales, but to this day, i cant help but think, maybe that wasnt just a regular dog.

Back in Kenya 🇰🇪 when i was a young kid i heard a story about an elderly man around 50 yrs old from one of our village. He used to like drinking alot and came home late night, and everynight a big dog would escort him in the pitch of the night, guiding him till he reached home safely. This friendship went on for a long time, until one day when he was coming home his wife was awake and opened the door for him and saw the dog he has been talking about which everybody knew it was just a drug man's story. She was shocked, and in the morning she explained to the husband that she believed him about his story about the dog. But, it was not a dog which escorted him home everynight, but a big male lion. The husband promised to never drink again and the lion wasn't seen again either.

Sounds similar to the Santa Fe Ski Basin story (early 2000s, New Mexico) where 3 lost kids eluded rescue for 3 days. When they were finally sighted they ran from the confused search & rescue party but were soon retrieved. The kids were asked why they ran. They replied, "We thought you were the monkey men." ?!?!

I must be the only one who has ever spent 3 hours straight reading a comments section 😅

When I was young I got left home alone I was about 4 years old and I went outside and golden dog came from no where I was scared and went up stairs and the dog followed me sat at the door so couldn’t leave he was protecting me! But it was really the grace of Jesus Christ that saved me from Lord knows what!

there was also another story of a little girl that got lost in the woods, they search for her till they found her. She told the police that another little girl told her were to sleep till they found her. It was all over the news.

I quit falling asleep while deer hunting, it's so beautiful so peaceful it's hard not too, until one day I saw what I can only describe as a "predator when invisible" was running across the ground and ran up a tree and outta sight! There is shit we have no idea about in this world, be open minded and don't shut people down when they talk and maybe we can discover more as a human race. But we don't know shit

LOVE ALL THESE STORIES IN THE COMMENTS THANK ALL OF YOU FOR SHARING !!!!!!!!!!!!

One day I went for a walk with my two dogs deep into the woods in a place they had never been before. We left the path eventually and were just walking through the forest. After a while I got a bit lost and couldn’t figure out how to get back, or even find a path. One of my dogs ran off and then I couldn’t find him either, but the other one stayed by me. I called and looked for the runaway dog for awhile, but eventually decided to try to find my way back. After about an hour or so I got back home and the dog was sitting on the couch.

A child in Ernul North Carolina which is about 30 minutes from where I live disappeared in the woods with only a light jacket on for three days it got down to 14° on those days and it rained all three days but they found the little boy with no hypothermia just a little wet and caught in a briar patch. he said a bear took care of him!

I recently lost my mom in stunning fashion. Id have to say that your stories is the best gift she ever gave me. She knew i liked true crime, or horror. She would tell me a story to check out, so that she could quiz me on it the following day. I knew better than to skip any chapters!👍

There’s no limit on what God in heaven can do🥰

Reminds me of a story I head of this 9yr old boy that got lost in the Louisiana swamps near Baton Rouge. The kid survived for 16 days on mulberries, mushrooms and dirty swamp water. The crazy part was when he would get cold at night little creatures would approach him and cuddle with him for warmth. Turns out the little creatures were Muskrats, and the boy turned out to have created a special bond with these Muskrats. This story is 100% true, and the boy turned out to be Theo Von. A.K.A. The Rat King 🤴

This reminds me of how when I was young i would wait for the bus in the early morning. When it was still a bit dark a coyote would sit at my far left about 15 feet away and wait till I got on the bus. Then it would run into the woods. When I got home from school sometimes it would poke its head out from the bushes. Then did it again every morning. Waiting with me till I got on the bus. Never came closer or showed aggression. This went on for almost 2 year then stopped. During those years I would take in hurt dogs, clean them and help them back home. Idk just seemed like they told their friends where to find me lol

My cat likes to walk outside on his leash and gets upset if I don't take him out. Recently I didn't take him out for two days because of weather. So he peed in the shoes I wear when we go out. Then as I walked past him he reached out and snagged my sock, pulling it off. He had the funniest look on his face. He's passive aggressive but cute.

My cousin fell into a lake at a family bbq..the water was very cold and she began to panic. Before anyone could react my cousins pet rabbit who she brought along everywhere (Penelope), dived in after her. It was surreal ❤

It turns out, Animals seem to be behaving with more Humanity than many Human Beings these days.

The wild are not evil. They're not cruel. They're smart, fast and more loving then people. Never underestimate our beautiful wild ones.

Thank you Lord for saving that little boy amen. 🙏💯💛

Best comments section ever

I've heard many stories about various animals protecting and feeding children. I've heard a family of beavers laid next to a lil' boy to keep him warm. I also heard of a wolf pack that helped birth a child! A female wolf gnawed the umbilical cord and they kept her and the baby warm until her husband found her. Just goes to show, we need to respect and care for our animal brethren.

My mother had a friend in New York who was walking home at a late hour one night. She became scared because there were 8 or more males standing and sitting on the stoop talking loudly. She had to pass by these males in order to get home, and immediately started praying for safety and for the males to stay still. When she passed the group, they became very silent and even spoke to her respectfully. Feeling safe, she started strutting with confidence. The next day, one of the males wanted to know who the guy was walking behind her. She was a bit confused, so the young man begin describing him: "Around 7ft tall, ripped, and he was wearing all white." Realizing God had answered her prayer for protection; she said it her bodyguard. She couldn't see him but all the males did.

This makes me even more scared to live off grid

I think its wonderful that we don't know the unexplained,we live on such an amazing planet

😮 You could write a book from these comments. So many amazing stories.

If I some how could copy all of these amazing stories & could compile them into a book to read , I would! Love to you all for sharing your stories!

i like this kind of videos, not their content but their comment section

I love the comments people added to your great story! That's why I get pretty 'test-y' when people are cruel to animals. I have stories too, but animals have more understanding and a 'sense' of a person's nature, than people do! I love your story and the comments everyone added! Thanks to ALL of you that shared your stories!

GOD Sent Those Animals to safeguard Him, GOD Is GREAT And Loving

in highschool I was at a party, and I was convinced to do mushrooms and acid at the same time. Bullies at the party took me into their car drove way out into the forest, cut my clothes off and left me there. To this day, I have no idea how I got home. I remember being terrified in the woods not knowing what to do and crying. I gathered things to cover me and I curled up into a ball beside a tree and covered myself with sticks and leaves. I woke up and felt like I was floating, felt warm and loved. I arrived at the edge of the forest that was close to a road that connected to the back way to get to my home. To this day I am still thankful to what ever force helped me out of that situation. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life, but something helped me, and something made me feel safe and OK, and to this day I have no explanation to how I got to that road. The road was hours away from where I was ditched. I told my grandfather about my experience and he told me he also had a similar experience in the same woods when he was younger. Long ago before my dad was even born he drove off the road during a winter storm, and his car went WAY down an embankment and was totally stuck. While they where freaking out not knowing what to do a bright light came at the back of the car, and then the car started just floating up the hill and back up onto the road, then the light vanished. This is actually what caused my grandparents to become hardcore religious and to this day they stand by that it was an angel that helped them.

I love reading all the comments here from people with same or similar experiences It’s amazing I love cats n dogs n all kinds of animals God listens when we pray n ask for help Amen 🙏🙏🙏

My best dog friend Willow was an Australia Shepard mix. She was so darn smart, beautiful and loved to play fetch. We had so many amazing adventures together. One time we were hunting mushrooms in the cascades with my mushroom buddy Greg. His dog was a black lab. We were each following our own hunches about the mushrooms and our dogs were running between the two of us. I just kept seeing Willow come and go, then the lab would come and go, checking on me. Finally Greg and I came back together and we were both so impressed with our dogs who were keeping track of both of us. ❤ dogs are angels incarnate 🐾

I was camping with my family once, and saw all these creatures behind the trees staring at me, i was the only one awake, my brother, who was drunk, woke up ran past the creatures and threw up, they were racoons.

A 3 or 4 year old kid was lost overnight in NC and he said a bear slept with him and kept him warm all night, then left in the morning. Kid was found hours later and no one knows what to make of what he said 🐻🐾🌳😂✌️

I bet all those prayers kept those “animals” from being able to harm him.

He was fortunate and God-blessed to come out okay and safe.❤

There's this Indian guy who escorts injured people down the Himalayas when they cannot complete their journey. His job is to find the safest route. He spoke about how he and his colleagues camped in a remote part of the Himalayas at night. He gets nature's call so wakes up and approaches some trees to urinate. In the trees he then sees a group of tall humanoids, 9 feet tall, quietly walking their way up the mountain pass. They are wearing shrouded robes. They are apparently said to not be visible to all people and are very shy, but he says he saw them and it was the strangest thing he'd seen.

I could spend all day just reading these amazing comments

I love this comment section, there are amazing stories that are being shared here!

Thank God Jerry was found alive. 🙏

I heard a story of a woman in her early 30s: She was an adult so didn't know if she should tell the story due to fear of being ridiculed. She injured her ankle while kayaking down a river. No one knew of her where abouts, and she couldn't walk, so she knew she was in trouble. Well she said she was looked after by a few "bigfoots.... bigfeet..?? Idk" and they left berries and things for her to eat. Apparently there were other predators in the area and she said that they urinated around the parameter of where she was. She thinks it was to keep these other wild animals away. That it took days before she was able to limp her way to get some help. She said she was terrified but had no choice but to see what they had planned for her. She was astonished on how intelligent, caring and attentive they were. If I remember correctly, i think they even gave her some sort of herb to put on her ankle. She expressed how she will forever be grateful, and that they completely changed her life and way of thinking.... I think that experience would do the same to anyone.

im 46 yr old 4'9 woman and being in the woods is my absolute favorite, Camping under the stars is the best
