Over 2000 People GO MISSING in These Places... EACH YEAR! 

I live in a place where encounters with black bears are fairly common. It's hard to remember it in the situation but running is the absolute worst thing you could do.

Hi, im one of those gas station workers, or more so used to be. Yes I can confirm a gas station in the middle of no where is creepy all around the clock. The stories I could tell you. Creepy men standing in the tree line, usual they are on drugs. It makes them even creepier because you never know what could happen. Also random growls in the tree line or eyes shifting from foxes or deer. Truely scary stuff.

the looping is something that happens all the time in the woods, like getting lost and doubling back over a path you think you haven't gone down but actually have. I really think that's the strong point of this game, to play into the looping aspect but cutting between the different locations as you get closer and closer to maybe what's happening in these woods

Yellowstone guide here. I’ve had a lot of crazy encounters with all sorts of wildlife. Best thing for an unwanted encounter of any animal is to hike in groups, or never be alone. Carry bear spray and never run from a bear (unless you’re as fast as fooster). Don’t leave food in your tent if you’re camping, etc etc. If you ever hike or camp in bear country there’s no need to be afraid 99% of the time if you are being smart about it.

Nice to see someone making an interesting and unnerving game around the Missing 411s. I'm very surprised they went with a "Twin Peaks" style pilot episode though considering a situation with a Dogman, Bigfoot or other Cryptids would have normally been the start of something like this. Yellowstone and Yosemite have the most encounters with various cryptids, and not just two well known ones. The excellent YT channel, What Lurks Beneath, does a superb job on covering these accounts. Highly recommended. Yes, more of this game is a definite must.

"BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME IN RANGER TOWERS!" 😂😂😂😂😂 I havnt laughed that hard in so very long!!!

hiking can be creepy, like finding an enclosed/fenced area with a caravan/trailer with a tree that had 20+ plush dolls hanging from it.

2 legged predators are the worst. They're anywhere.

The rule for bears is to stand your ground and tell the bear to "go on, 'git!" because you'd never outrun a bear, not only are they faster than you over short distances but they can smell you from 20 miles away. Unless it's a cocaine bear, then the best advice I can give is, to quote the hitchhikers guide: "..consider how good your life has been up to that point. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you, which seems more likely given the circumstances, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you for much longer."

THAT GAS WAS SO CHEAP. That is the true horror.

As someone who volunteered for Search and Rescue for years, I feel that it's worth pointing out that it's more like tens of thousands of Missing persons reports are filed for National and State Parks. The detail that's being conveniently glossed over here is that the overwhelming majority of these people are found. Most are found within hours of the reports being filed, some within a few days, and others are even found and rescued while the report is being filed. The unfound hikers are the one's that make the news. What's more interesting are the statistics on the "Unknown Missing", people who have no family or their families didn't know where they had gone off to, just up and vanishing in the parks. Parks have derelict/abandoned vehicles towed and impounded when there's no sign of foul play. Months or even years can go by before a family or friend's MPR might cause local authorities to check and see if a vehicle that's been impounded belongs to someone on the MP database. Assuming the vehicle hasn't been scrapped or sold at auction. And by then there may be very little in the way of clues to tell what happened to them.

I live in an area of the US where bears are common. One very chilling thing to know about bears... They eat you alive. They prefer you alive as they can feast, leave and come back to finish the meal. Leaving you partly alive means the meat will last longer prolonging spoilage. Have a nice day.

Missing 411 - David Paulides are the real cases and it’s absolutely sad, strange and out of this world what is really happening! I guess this game is inspired by that…

I do a lot of hiking alone. - one time I was out of town visiting some family in an unfamiliar area to me. On my way I passed what looked like a nature trail. So I had a decent amount of time b4 I needed to be where I was meeting everyone so I turned around and went to the trail. The wooden sign at the road was badly run down looking but I could tell it was a state trail of some sort. So I drove into the forest down an overgrown trail and came to what looked like an old parking area. It was very badly overgrown but u could still tell where to park and where the walking trail started. I had kind of a bad feeling about it because it was a very unfamiliar area to me, heavily forested, and I was the only vehicle there. But I thought oh well, I check out trails all the time. So I got out of my truck and started walking the trail. About 5 minutes into the forest I realized something unusual. There was no sound. No birds chirping, no squirrels running around, nothing at all. I stopped and stood very still and listened for a bit and literally couldn't hear anything whatsoever. And kinda getting a weird feeling about it I thought about turning back. But decided to continue on the trail because I didn't want to feel like I was being a scared little baby. So I kept walking. As I walked I started to get that feeling like I was being watched. Even as I'm typing this right now the hair on my arms is standing up and I have goosebumps thinking about it. I just had that strong feeling that something was not right. As I kept walking I could see up ahead the trail split into 2. And at that moment I could see something on the ground that didn't look right. ... As I got to it I didn't understand what I was looking at but what I saw was disturbing. Where the trail split into 2 it created a V shape. And in that V shape were bones. All kinds of bones. And they were neatly made into a very weird and interesting design. I honestly don't know how to describe it but it felt very evil. I didn't understand it but i knew I had to get out of the woods. I snapped a picture of it and went to turn around and when I did i caught something out of the corner of my eye. Deeper into the woods just past where the trail splits I could see a hooded figure peering from behind a tree. I froze for a few seconds staring at it. I wasn't sure if it was a shadow or lighting trick but I was freaked out so I ran back towards my truck as fast as I could. As I was running I started hearing weird noises behind me in the woods. And for some reason all I could think about was that any second I was going to be shot with an arrow or something. But anyway I got back to my truck and drove out of there like a madman and went to the get together . Later on at the get together I was telling one of my relatives who lives somewhat near that area about what happened and showed him the picture and his jaw dropped and he was like. Wow...that's a really dangerous area. Nobody goes out near those woods. There have been a lot of missing people over the years in that area and there have been reports of witchcraft and witches out that way. So anyway, that's the story. Happened about 5 years ago.

79 cents for gas?!?! I'd take my chances with ANY entity if it meant that was alI I had to pay for gas!

No bears around here, worst we got are moose. And I once had to dodge a rather angry one in a forest once, due to suddenly finding myself a bit close to her calf. She mostly calmed down once she got between me and the calf though. You would expect them to be easy to notice, but nope. Half a ton of ninja.

The red curtains and checkerboard flooring is a reference to Twin Peaks fooster, as well as the FBI agent looking into the disappearances.

Life lessons from the great American outdoors. Majority of bears can run around 30mph (48kph) and faster; Grizzly bears for example can run up to 45mph (72kph). You're not getting away. Climb, they climb. Swim, they swim. Try to hide behind something, they're going through it. However; to make games like this scarier. In America, if you're out in the woods and you hear what sounds as if a little girl is being brutally murdered, 50/50 it's more than likely a fox. Other 50% you're gonna wanna get men with guns out in them pines. If you hear what sounds like an adult woman screaming bloody murder, 50/50 it's a Cougar and it's not going to try to get you drunk. The other 50% -- hell are you even still standing there for?!

I'll be late watching since I'm out training for the day but I know what I'm doing later while eating dinner! Love the rapid fire release of videos lately! Makes my day ngl lol

I never been in woods or went camping myself but the thought of animal or human attacking is absolutely terrifying 😵. Stay safe camper\hikers . Great video Foosta as always

Fooster time, thanks chap. Be safe, be well and be good.

So want to see more of this! This was good I seen Olaf play this as well! It's awesome seeing your guys different commentary

I can't help but wonder if something else would happen if you'd just keep driving past the gas station, like would it trigger an event or would it force you to go to the gas station anyway? Love the concept of the game, I've listened to both several horror stories about these disappearances and many true stories aswell. I find the ones about children disappearing in the blink of an eye and then being found impossibly far away, completely unscathed and sometimes not even a little dirty, just a week or two later at a maximum and some of the kids telling their parents about strange unnatural humanoids taking care of them while they were gone or not remembering much at all. These stories never seize to amaze me.

The best days of the week is days when Foster releases a new video. Its just Friday multiple days of the week. Loving it!

Black bear: Look and sound big (Unless they are with a cub, in which case, look big but back away) Brown bear / Grizzly: Play dead or, if you have a large tree nearby that you can climb, do that. Polar Bear: You're dead. I would recommend never running from a bear or trying to fight it.

I actually kicked my toe too, at the jump scare 🤣... 👊😎🥃

Awesome video fooster this will def will deter me from hiking 😅

after seeing fooster getting hunted by monsters at a ranger tower in the past, i was hoping he was gonna get eaten here too.

Never heard that bear thing before, but I do know that black bears can climb trees, 'cause they're small, so that won't work. -I also heard 'try to run downhill' regarding the big ones, but I only heard that once.

I live in a forest area in the pacific north west and I always love these games where it is set in the woods. And I have been out in the woods at night and it is always really creepy, but oddly peaceful. So please keep making videos on the forest themed games!

The perfect end to a busy week is a good dose of Fooster scaring himself 😂😁

Missing 411 are cases of disappearances with no explanations. If you’re interested in hearing some of these stories, I’d HIGHLY recommend Mr. Ballen’s videos as he does an amazing job telling these stories.

5:05 unseen prices nowadays 😂😂😂

Nice! This looks really good, the future installments will most likely be as great as this is. 👍

I just listened to a podcast where they talked about a guy who went cross country skiing around Lake Michigan. He went missing with no explanation and was presumed dead. He turned up 15 months later, about 40 miles away from his family's home. He had no memory of those months. Last he remembered was being in the snow and feeling lost. Eerie stuff.

Brown bears or grizzly bears have been clocked at just about 60 miles an hour the fastest man clocked at just over 27 miles an hour you can not out run a bear the've also been known to climb trees so the actual rule for bears should be face the bear and slowly back away do not turn and run that triggers a prey response this applies to grizzly not black bear who a generally more shy and are more likely to run, but again every animal is differnt and may not respond as you would think.

In most cases, stop and cover works with bears. You have next to zero chance of surviving if you run. If you can't outrun a horse, you can't outrun a bear.

fooster i love your videos and i have an idea for another one if you haven't been told already, the game is bodycam styled and called zoochosis, idk how people normally recommend you games but there you go. awesome videos, can't say it enough!

Rules concerning bears: go out of your way to avoid each other. If you have a coach gun, make sure both barrels are loaded with slugs.

I grew up in the country with woods and fields. I used to explore the woods alone often when I was a teenager. During one time out and a mile or so deep, I was walking and it got very quiet. No birds or insects really all of a sudden. I got a really bad feeling and goosebumps and the hair on my arms stood up so I turned around and started walking back home. Along my path about 5 minutes after turning around was a severed deers head on the ground that wasnt there 10 minutes earlier, which I'm certain of. I saw it on the ground from a distance as it was right in my path and I thought it was a paper bag or piece of wood until I got close. Even if it was just a piece of wood or paper bag, Id have been nervous because I already recognized it as something that wasnt there a moment sooner. I have no idea what it was that left it or if it/they were following or watching me but I had my head on a major swivel after that. Hopefully it was just a panther or something but I dont know why it would have been carrying just a deers head around. This really happened and I'll never forget that.

I'm pretty sure that ranger tower is one of the exact same ones as from the game Firewatch.

Today is a good day! Keep up the good work, been here since day 1 and loving every min! Hope you've recovered from COVID!

i miss living in the woods. used to live on thd east coast. heading back to visit family next month. ill admit first time i was jumpy, but i was a little kid XD till i got used to the night sounds. now i really miss it

That watchtower instantly reminded me of that game where someone, or rather something was impersonating a real person, and we were trying to guide that person to safety while avoiding that creepy entity I think it also had like 3 endings, really nice game Upd looked up the title, it's called "Do you copy"

Missing 411 the Hunted is definitely a series to check out. It talks about hikers and hunters going missing in the woods. Some of the stories were pretty unnerving.

6:30 The most unrealistic thing about this game, is that a gas station in the middle of nowhere, instead of selling conserved, long-lasting foods, mainly sells milk and apple juice, all goods that spoil easily.

Did I just see that the price of gas was 79 cents and 98 cents a gallon? I'll live among the weird disappearances and creepy forests for gas prices like that again....lol. I live near Mt. Hood National Forest and every year there are experienced hikers reported missing and not even their bodies are found. It's so sad.

Humans cannot outrun bears. Uphill, downhill, on the flat. They swim well and can climb into your little fishing boat from the water. All of them can climb trees until they're too big and then they push them over.

yeah play more of this, it's freaky and i want to see what happens? They tell you to make loud noises while in bear country, but if is too late to back away, they tell you to play dead if it's a black bear.

I used to live right outside yellowstone. The grizzly bears are a huge huge problem that the government won't fix

I live in a national forest and black bears are treated as pests for the most part. They get in your trash and break into cars. You just yell at them and they typically run off. One time a bear got into my trash around midnight and I chased it off. As I was cleaning up the mess, I got the feeling something was watching me and pulled out my flash light. It was standing about 20 feet from me just watching. I yelled at it again and it left but that time really unnerved me that something so big was also so quiet that it snuck back in the dead silence of night without me realizing it was there. No street lights either so it was pitch black.

I haven’t watched the whole thing just started watching and I’m like wait is this a revamp of the forest game you played a while back. Where you were the ranger but now playing from a different perspective? Guess I have to finish watching to find out 👀👀👀👏🏽

There is a movie where they get stuck driving around a maze with people messing with them, and it's pretty good. Found footage style. Think it was made in europe somewhere. Have no clue what it's called. I think they drive around the same place over and over, too

Im from appalachia and yeah, the gas stations are spooky and weird and usually we always pass them and never stop. The stations are usually co-ops into other things. Like one used to be near me was also a hunting shop as well as a gas station and it felt like a cult breeding ground when we would stop for smokes. We never stopped at any for gas, thats what my father taught us. But occassionally we would stop for beer or smokes and it always felt weird. Were also some black folks so in the states it just wasnt good to stop at any place in the middle of nowhere. None of this made more sense than years later when I was taking a black girl into the woods to hike and we passed a rangers station that told us its the last place for help. I told her, "when we get down to the trail, dont talk to anyone dont make friends. The people there dont wanna be found for reasons and dont be an idiot." We get down to the river at the valleys edge and there were campers everywhere and im like, yeah, danger, but she insisted on trying to make friends with these people. I eventually pulled her away and told her simply "If someone wanted to throw our bodies, they would only need to throw them in the brush right there and the animals would get us within hours. Stop not caring about your or my life please." She had never been into dense woods, something I was far to familiar with. One time I was driving on the entire other side of my nation with again a woman who didnt know much about the woods and i slowed the car down and simply pointed to the overgrown brush on the side of the road and said "If you or anyone wanted to go missing forever, someone would throw your body right there. Yes, its feet from the road, but youd never be seen from again." I didnt wanna scare either of them, I just wanted them to know that out in the wilderness, things simply didnt opperate like around a city. Youd just be gone, forever. Fucked up part is neither women actually felt danger and that bothered me. Growing up in the stix, where a wrong turn simply would end you. Made me appreciate my upbringing. I live in cities now but always being aware is something special imo. I dont wish anything on anyone, but once me and my sister were on some trail roads at night in Colorado and some truck fancied following us, but we led them to a dead end road and I got out with my shotgun and started pumping slugs into that truck and it drove off. Always be aware of the things around you and where you are. Being naive gets folks killed and I dont think id know that unless I grew up in the sticks. Idk what the people in that truck wanted, but I dont give af, im American, pull up if you want but questions are for after. Never have I ever known a gunrack in my truck would ever serve that purpose. Uusally it was for animals. Maybe those men were animals, but again, id find out after if anything. It was a tough ride back cause it was a long dead end road and anything couldve happened. I just had my sister drive as I sat shotgun in my own vehicle, ready...what would I have done if i ended someone, left and not told a soul and let the critters get em. Thats how it works outside in the wilderness. Wild west, go to the American forests. Find out the wild west never went anywhere, it just changed scenes. No I dont condone anything, unless youre out in the wilderness and someones following you at night, well, fuck em then. Also, if you see signs that say "tredpass and get shot." please believe that you WILL get shot and again, the critters will get ya and no one will know or find ya. That is real shit. We arnt city folk out there. No city rules.

Less than 10 minutes in and all I can focus on is how the radio guy sounds like Napoleon Dynamite after he left high school and got a job.

I have some experience with wolves and boars (yes boar not bears) and i would rather face and fight a couple of wolves than a angry boar. This looping around is like taken out of that awesome tv series From 😮

I’m having some serious heartache lately so thanks for helping with your cheerful mood 🙃

Your thumbnails are always pretty cool, Fooster.

Don’t try to outrun a bear bro, you can be Usain Bolt and still get clapped lol

That tower scene reminded me of fire watch. Loved that game.

You might not see this, but you’re the best, RU-vidr thanks for always having good videos. God bless you.

its 12 PM and the jump scare at 12:18 KILLED me .

i did hiking today. at one point i heard what sounded like somebody unlocking the screen of their mobile phone. i heard it like few feet behind me so i quickly looked behind and saw nobody. also check to be sure it was not my phone in my pocket, it was not.

Guy behind the counter of the gasstation was the typical "I make demonical boar sounds in the woods" kinda guy 😅

Here is an easy way to remember what to do if you encounter a bear If it’s black, fight back If it’s brown, lay down If it’s white, say goodnight I think I could take a bear

How cool! I’ve been working on a similar game storyline for a few years. Very different but based on national forests.

"Sounds like it's just a pig" my man, you underestimate wild pigs. Where I live, up until about a decade or so ago, we had wild pigs. They lived out in the fields and meadows, and would absolutely bum rush you. I once had a camp counselor almost get gored by one, though he was pretty agile and managed to out maneuver the pig and run into the road where the pig was smart enough not to go.

Another certified banger

this looks very cool! thanks for the vid, Fooster!

If you're still in the UK, there are stories about predators on the Moors (I think that's what they call them). Things like panthers and pumas. It's possible that the legend of a werewolf said to inhabit that area was misidentified and, in actuality, is a black panther.

I seen this post about a map about the places where a lot of people (usually hikers) tend to go missing throughout the US, which was compared to maps of US caving systems with US wildlife parks. I even searched for an article about it. Its crazy to think that a lot of people that go missing line up with US caving systems, its insane.

Fresh video! Still hot out of the oven! My day has just improved dramatically! ^_^

Fooster.....bears can chase down horses. Soooo, only go hiking with someone slower than yourself to out run the bear. 🤣

Oh yeah! Me and my smooth brain are excited to watch this!!

I don't know, Fooster. If I had an encounter with any of them, I would probably just burp, fart, sneeze, hiccup, poop, cough, choke and implode.

A bear can keep pace with a horse, good luck running from that XD

So, you had the rule right. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, just say goodnight. Running is a bad idea UNLESS you can run downhill. Bears, all bears, every creature in the Ursine family has larger muscles and balance on their front legs and can't run AS FAST downhill as you probably can. On a flat or climbing a bear would overtake even Olympic record runners.

I’ve waited 6 hours to watch this!! It’s finally time!!! CALM DOWN ITS TIME!!! Headphones. Are. In.

10:58 This man just walked into the Black Lodge and didn't even realize it

im watching this at night as well im about to get to bed i love watching your vids at night because i really love night mares idk why

Ack. Too short, I like my Fooster vids in longer doses! Would love to see more of that game.

Bro that gas station man literally scared me so bad when he popped up in front of the car and I wasn't even playing the game

Ive seen you play 2 games set around watchtowers and Forests, brother you would love firewatch, a mystery game set in the 80s in Wyoming with a man in his watchtower I would love to see you play it

Hope the next episode comes out soon, Fooster!

I’d love a CotW feeling game, where you’re hiking and exploring then something happens. Not so much the scripted follow the path for the horrors. I enjoy both but it’s one can dream lol

I might deal with the demon Quick-N-Go for those gas prices.

The store clerk model reminds me of Nintendo 64's 007 Goldeneye characters. LMAO so many good memories of that game. Especially on donkey kong mode when their heads and arms are super big

I love Fosters voice

Why was Phil Collins working as a cashier at the Quick-N-Go??.. His voice has really gone bad, hasn't it?.... "I can hear it callin' in the air at night!".... lol... CHEERS!!

This is really good, makes me think this is how it could be if they made a game with Zelda as the main character

Someone watched a lot of Twin Peaks, apparently. I'm at the part where you're looking at the man in black in the dining area of the mini mart, and it looks just iike the Red Room scene in the show.

I think the strangest thing in this entire video was the milk just chilling on the shelves in the gas station.

If you became food, I’d call you Foodster

So given the content of this video I thought I'd share this little tidbit. A reactor I watch has experimented a bit with trying to watch her films in an appropriate area to the horror content. One of them she was watching it alone out in the canadian woods and at one point in the recording a shadowy figure appeared in the wood behind her and watched for a bit before vanishing back into the darkness. It was probably some nocturnal animal but well several commenters say they can see feet and tiny legs as if it was a biped.

The most horrifying detail I've noticed about this is gas is .98 (and 9/10ths)...

That black car really does look like a 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX I remember growing up riding in that car but ours was white

First off I want to say love the content keep the good work dude!🤙🏽 Second thing, I think there were 2 things that were extremely creepy about this game (In a good way of course), 1 the atmosphere/storyline and 2 them freaking gas prices... just saying🤣

We need more of this game

For me in general going on a hike isn't really the problem here but just getting lost in a forest or a secluded place that ppl don't know of is what would scare the bejesus out of me as to why I don't go out much I prefer staying home their is plenty of fun stuff here than being there I love nature and all but sometimes it's just scary..

Heard this from a friend once about bears “If it’s black, fight back If it’s brown, lay down If it’s white, good night.” I’m sure that’s not scientifically correct but it IS funny.💀 Edit: LMAO didn’t wait long enough for him to say it🤣
