Spooky Scary Campfire Stories 2023  

It's funny, the scariest thing in the woods at night is you and Nick with your hatchets and marshmallows

I really enjoy these "scary" editions! This channel is so much fun!

Absolutely loved this special Halloween episode guys! There's nothing like spooky stories shared around the ol' campfire... and these were definitely some good ones 👍 One of these days we'll have to get together and share some in person. As for the photo... definitely the ghost of an old bushcrafter stalking y'all 👻👻 haha. Hope you have an awesome Halloween Dave and Nick!

Nothing better than spooky stories over a campfire. I once had an odd event a few years back hunting with my brother in law and some of his kin. We live in Idaho and hunted an area we had not hunted before. My bro in law and I chose to go via dirt road to a point where our other hunting members would push through heavy timber to regroup with us and hopefully push some deer our way. He and I walked about the area for a while getting to know the layout. At one point I thought I heard voices in the distance but knew our partners were still too far away to be heard. I continued to hear voices but figured it was all in my head from drinking too much Jack the night before around the campfire. My bro in law made a comment that this was an old forest, I agreed. It clearly had been logged over a century ago, or more. He then stated "And I heard voices"! We were the only ones there. No one else around. I got goose bumps. I asked, "You, too?" Fast forward to the next summer. My immediate family are all vacationing at the same campsite down from the area in question. My oldest son, mid 40's, rides his 4 wheeler into the "voice" zone. Comes back to camp and tells me he heard some voices and had to turn off his 4 wheeler because he thought someone was trying to get his attention. He tried to explain where he went when it happened and I told him "Tell me no more, I'll drive you to where it happened". We jumped in my truck, I drove to the spot and asked "This is the spot, isn't it?" He looked shocked. "How did you know?" "Been there, done that" I said.

I love the Halloween spooky tales. Did you guys yell hey what you want to that creepy figure? I would have skidattled out of there. Happy Halloween Dave and Nick.

I've been saving this video to watch on a dark, cold, rainy Halloween night, here in England. It's now a Halloween tradition - spooky, true tales from Dave Nick and the Pearsons. Thanks for the great videos and Happy Halloween to all y'all.

👻Great stories !!!! Best Ghost Story edition yet !!!! 😳😧👻

i SAID it last year Dave and ill say it again this year ... you are one of the best storytellers out there!!!!

My one and only scary story was when I was hiking in the AZ desert at 1:30AM alone. A creature approached, which at first I thought was human. As it got closer I realized it wasn’t human but was trying to appear so. It spoke a strange unintelligible non-human language. It also had the ability to hide its face in a strange cloud-like fog. It approached and I shouted repeatedly for it to stop but it didn’t. Finally I pulled my knife on it and brandished it, and shouted again for it to stop. Finally it did and I approached and as soon as I pursued it, it turned and ran and vanished right before my eyes. Every word of this is the absolute truth.

Happy Halloween Guys! Nick, don't let Dave eat too many candy bars tonight!

My kind of campfire chat! I used to light my marshmallows like Nick because as a kid that was the closest I’d ever get to having a torch like we always saw in the movies! The fire dying down and the flashlight effect was perfect! You are a creepy kind of guy Dave but in the best way! LOL! I still remember you telling about the feeling of dread on that nighttime camp on the scary mountain. I can’t remember the name of it. Good stuff guys. That image at the end has me stumped. Other than looking like a person with its head upturned I can’t interpret more. I hate you guys are on opposite shifts. Before I retired two years ago after my wife passed away my oldest son and I worked like that and together time was rare. Get together as much as you can for your sake as well as for us. Stay creepy just the way you are!

Thank you Dave and Nick. I really look forward to the Halloween stories by the campfire. I’m never disappointed.

Happy Spooky Halloween! I love marshmallows burnt to a crisp...yum. The stories, campfire, flashlight, and the camera losing focus for a bit all adds to the foreboding ambiance! This video is spooktacular. It would be cool to share my stories with ya'll around a campfire. I do have a few stories that happened to me. I remember the pine forest video. It's a beautiful forest. It looks like, to me at least, a girl from the 1800's wearing a bonnet and hiking her dress up a bit... as if she was going to cross a creek. Enjoy your weekend. -Hollie

U need to do these regularly! love it 🔥 👻 spooky & calming at same time good for stress lol👍

ANOTHER GREAT SESSION GUYS ! Happy Halloween . TAKE CARE..

Great real life stories. I saw a poltergeist staring out the window of the north tower of the Grey towers mansion in Milford, PA 11 years ago. Since this place is a historical mansion, I was taking pictures and snapped one at this image of a man in about his 30's in 1910-1920's attire, with a waxed mustache. I took this image to a group of people who observe and document paranormal activities in Gettysburg, PA, for their comments. They were very impressed by the image and unanimously concluded it was a real ghost.

Nothing better than a crackling fire and spooky tales than your accent sounding like a cup of warm cozy tea with sugar and cream. Thanks 👻🎃

Holy gun smokes! That looks like a ballistic helmet. Great spooky story time. Can't wait for Nick to be a regular on your show. Love the father and son sharing time together.

Great Halloween stories. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video Dave!! I always look forward to your Halloween stories. As for the figure at the end, looks kinda like it has on an old doctor's mask from the 1800s. You know the long nose ones that were supposed to keep them from catching illnesses. Whatever it is, it's a really cool photo.

Favorite time if the year!! Always look forward to this 🍻

I look forward to hearing your ghost stories every year. The moon shot at the end was perfect as was Nicks spooky photo

This is my favorite time of year and this stuff is awesome. Glad you guys are enjoying the season too🐸🍺🔪🔥

Thank you Dave & Nick For the stories. Must have been fun relaxing and roasting marshmallows together. Stay safe!!

Thanks for a nice video! Thanks for , By the camp fire talk ! It is more than worth its weight in gold, to be able to listen and take part in people's thoughts and everyday life around the world! Thanks ! I myself am 66 years old, retired. I live on an island in southern Finland. poor, but "Still alive and Kickin" 🙄! I wish you a nice weekend ! 😀👍

SuzyAnn. Great to see y'all together in the woods 🙏🏼🌲🎃

Definitely something standing there. A little strange. Thanks for the stories Dave and Nick.

I waited till it was dark to watch this. I turned all the lights off in the house. Good job Dave & Nick. Now I can sleep like a baby. You know, Up all night. lol

Awesome!

That was fun. Thanks Dave and Nick.

On my phone it looks like a German World War II helmet with a gas mask. The kind of gas mask with one filter in the center. That’s what it looks like to me. Love the Scary story time with Dave and Nick. Be safe out there and thanks for the video.

we liked this video and scary stories . we did notice a figure in the photograph ..

I should have watched this on Halloween! Great storytelling Sir! Thanks for sharing!

Great stories man. That picture is pretty interesting for sure. The way it's looking up like that makes me feel like it was just about to phase out right when Nick caught the picture. Experiences like that open your eyes to understanding how little we can actually perceive and the possibilities of what could be going on all around us without us knowing. Thank you for sharing your stories. I sure enjoyed listening to them.

My wife and I enjoyed the spooky stories. See all those leaves in the foreground of the shot? Part of that "figure" kind of looks like it could be one of those leaves. Our brains try to see something like a human shape and I think that hinders us when we try to make things out like this. Just a suggestion, but who knows. Happy Halloween, guys!

Nick’s just getting his marshmallows good and gooey on the inside. I do that too, but I just get mine carefully burnt and THEN they are just how I want them!

... Thanks for the stories ,, always something out there to question .... .. Always heard the hills have eyes ,, now you found the body ....

Great little story time. Took a screen shot to see if I can see it. Stay safe an can’t wait to see ya in the next video.

great!

Another great crop of spooky stories from Dave and Nick 👻👻👻 As for the image - I just see trees guys! 🤷‍♂

Love the stories, almost as much as one of your hot tent videos lol. Thank you guys.

All I can say is awesome 💯

Always great Dave, when you and Nick are out there together. Enjoy your Halloween stories. Hope yall have a terrific Halloween. God bless ya'll and stay safe out there on your travels to these locations.

We loved your channel. The third story was very very spooky Thanks We wish you and your familie happy Halloween Greetings Rob&Christine

THE ARMY OFF THE DEAD Miss Amelia ( family from Atlanta lived in my old apartments: She had a Remington .41 Ferringer in her purse.) told me this one. Circa 1940 this yankee lady moved into her Neighborhood. She complained about the horse wagons going down the street at midnight and teamsters giving orders. Miss Amelia’s mother replied ina respectful and low voice. ‘ That’s our dead. They rise from the graveyard to reinforce Lee at Richmond at midnight. They don’t know the war against northern aggression was lost. Stay in bed while they pass.’ Yankee scoffed at her ‘ Gone With The Wind’ Stories. That night she went to her window to complain to the noisy teamsters. They found her in the morning; suffered a stroke and her hair turned white. She slowly recovered and moved back north. She said she opened the curtains to see CSA soldiers marching in ranks with artillery and supply wagons drawn by mules and cavalry units appearing in the fog. MissAmelia said ‘I can tell you this , you’re a SOUTHERN Californian. Chris

Nick, I also like the charred on outside marshmallows...Don't recall having them since I was a kid...I remember one time wanting to go camping but couldn't for whatever reason , living in burbs back during '60's ..Got a tuna can, kitchen matches, few dry sticks & a wire coat hanger & made char marshmallows in back yard...LOL! > IDK what's on the trail in pic but possibly one "REALLY BIG MONKEY" ??? ... LOL!

Love spooky stories!! Thanks! 🎃

great stories Dave. That photo to me looks like something that crossed the border from a far away land. Keep your eyes open.

Thank you for doing this every year. The 3rd story really gave me goose bumps! And that thing... spooky indeed!

My Best Story Shared Was With Ms.Jule ! Made The Hair Stand Up On My Neck. As For What That Was Ya Captured On Film ? No Idea, Many Thanks For These Stories Davey & Nick ! Stay Safe & Healthy This Boogity Boogity Season, Friends ! ATB T God Bless

It looks like a 1920s french maid with Micky mouses ears on her swede ha ha peace and love from 1 leg UK England. HAPPY HALLOWEEN BIG MONEY AND NICK

Thumbs up!!! Clark and Virginia

Thanks for doing this again Dave, been looking forward to it.

I like to think I'm a "visual" person but I simply see more of the forest, streaked with light. Loved the stories and the marshmallow 🔥 giggles !! 👻 👽 😱 Love you guys. 👍😎🇨🇦

Great stories, thanks for sharing

Thanks Guy's! I absolutely love these videos. Y'all do a great job. I also liked when you had other family and friends on. Dave, as a side note, I bought a Kennedy machinist chest and it had all of the stuff from the owner. He was a tool and die maker that worked in a Chrysler plant in both Michigan and Ohio from the early 1970s until he retired. That stuff that no one wanted told that mans life story.

Ain't seen this channel in years. Perfect vid to find after a while.

Somewhere on RU-vid they'll be a guy telling the story of two spooky aparations walking out of the woods & turning to face him for a brief moment. He'd just finished up setting his camp & was collecting kindling when for a fleeting moment he caught a glimpse of..Dave & Nick.

Great stories Dave. The picture looks like a hippie blown out of his mind he probably just walk off and you never saw him.😅

These are the best . Thanks for doing more .

I once sat watching a lying deer's ear flicker, waiting for it to stand up for a better shot. It was a little ways off along this ridge, so finally, when the thing just sat there showing zero signs of wanting to get up, I 'stalked' it to 'bump it' for a shot. Got closer only to realize the ear I was seeing (attached to a 'deer' that my mind had filled in for me) was an oak leaf, occaisionally stirring in the light autumn breeze. Some extra foliage, shadow/light-play and my imagination and desire to see a deer there all worked together to make that thing as real for me as anything I've ever wasted my time on. (Never shoot anything you're not 199% sure of!) And that's what's in the picture IMHO: foliage, dappled light, camera angle etc. Optical illusion. You literally can see (and sometimes hear) whatever you want to. Bush ink blots. Ever hear voices/laughter in gurgling water? Yeah. So has everyone else. They write stories and poems about it: "babbling brook"... I think we often see and hear what our subconscious mind wants us to. Ask any kind of LEO about different "eye witness accounts" of real things and how much they can vary. As for spooks and haunts... A different matter altogether, in my opinion. A minister who had once done (among other things) an 'exercism' once told me that he doesn't believe in ghosts. Just spirits, and not good ones either. He said "Don't fall for the 'Casper' thing. They're all evil, no matter what else they're trying to show you. If they can distract you, keep you confused, and/or convince you there's nothing to worry about, then they have won." Duh-duh-duhnnnnn...

How quick did nick say yep you look creepy love your spooky stories peace and love from 1 leg UK England

Great stories and definitely a picture of a ghost at the end. Looks 18th century to me

Good Halloween episode Dave! Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Well,I could tell about a real event here that happened in our home in the 1970’s,that would absolutely blow your mind, But I can’t because my wife and I made an agreement to never talk about it again,and we haven’t for 48 years and never will again. Now! With that being said,I really enjoyed this video and I think it’s one of y’all’s very best.Another thing I want to say is please let us at least see Nick once or twice during the video. Again,Great job guys!

Those are three great stories, the one with the house with the bowling alley was my favorite, but the last one is really scary. The photo is also interesting, at the beginning I thought it was just a tree, but the longer you look at it, the more it looks like something human. I'm already looking forward to next year's scary stories 🙂

Thanks for the spooky stories Dave! It’s so interesting and amazing that they are real! I’ve never seen a ghost but I do have orbs flying in my bedroom late at night and I have them on video. They are friendly I feel and once one was pink, which I was told means love, so probably one of my parents! It looked like a backpack to me on the figure but who knows!!

Love your Halloween stories. Enjoyed them. That last one you told about the mirror was really something.. As for the being, it looks like a human dressed in black from head to foot. Thank you for a great video. 🤗🍂

Good job on the marshmallows! Fun stories. Happy Halloween to you and Nick.🎃

Ow yes I "love" these scary stories..especially when it's spoken with a Southern draw..greeting from The Netherlands❤🇱🇺 P.S. love your channel

Dave I swear it looks like a bag with the recycling symbol but cut off a little bit. If this is your way of reminding us to clean up after ourselves in the woods it's clever lol

Best accent on RU-vid.

It looks like leaves and trees at different distances forming a figure. Kind of a mind trick. I see things every year when I go deer hunting that look like deer in different lighting but end up just being stumps, tree branches, etc.. However in your picture it also looks like there’s another figure directly to the left of it and the two are facing each other and giving each other a handshake or something. I’m seeing things too I guess lol. Great video by the way. The Halloween stories are always good!

At 2nd look at that pic. it looks like there may be 2 entities close together , besides the one on the bigger ones back . There are enhancement programs to bring out features in dark pic. Keep taking pic. Nick .

These were great stories, Dave. I must admit I am now very creeped out about the third one! I couldn't make out what was on the trail. Thank you so much for this spooky campfire video they never disappoint. I hope you, Nick and the rest of the family had a safe and Happy Halloween.

Excellent show.!! Thank you, Dave and Nick.!! I screenshot and zoomed, but I couldn't see what it was. Also, Dave, I've always thought you reminded me a bit like the comedian Bill Engvall. Seeing you with the campfire light, I thought you resembled him even more. Have a happy Halloween.

Interesting stories. There's more in life than we most of the times see or feel, when going through our daily tasks.. I like your ghost stories best of all your video's. Johns Mountain was also interesting. And the ones with your brother and father.

Good stories. :) Photo looks like vegetation creating an optical illusion.

Nick and I like our marshmallow the same way. All I need is a butane jet lighter , A bag full and a stick, but a fire is much better😂 Happy Halloween guys!

Happy Halloween.

Downloaded to watch at bedtime!

I haven’t commented on your channel the last few times because I was a little busy but I’ve binge-watched your cannel since I haven’t seen it in a while, and you and Nick are so talented which I really appreciate the type of video you do. I love you guys. 👌

Great video and love the Stories. Keep it up Dave. All the content is great. And love the ghost stories. I have many south GA personal stories. No Demons and no need for an Excorcist.

Im pretty sure thats Captin Morgan in the photo. Iiiirrrrr!

Hello Dave and Nick, good spooky stories. That's really wild, the story about the lady that told you the story, from Sterling Heights, Michigan. That's very close to where I live. My father worked at the Sterling Stamping Plant right there! How weird is that. As for the photo, can't really make it out too well either. Looks like someone wearing clothing from long ago and looking up, maybe?? Weird stuff! a bit spooky. Happy Halloween 👻👻🦇🦇🎃🎃

Awesome! Volume 3

Unexplainable stories with me #1 Early January in 2015…. One night my (ex)wife woke me up in the middle of the night. I was 41 years old and at that night I was crying like a little boy who got hurt really badly. So my ex woke me up and asked me if anything was wrong. I said I don’t know, I don’t remember the dream. All I know that my pillow was soaked from my tears. That was around midnight. I couldn’t fall back asleep just kept smoking cigarettes one after the other. I had a very uncomfortable feeling but I couldn’t figure why. So the morning came and my phone started to ring. My father called me from Hungary. He said he didn’t want to wake me up at midnight but at their local time at 6am my mom passed away. I live in Canada and the time difference is 6 hours. I was crying in my sleep at the exact time when my mom passed away. I guess 4300 miles distance is nothing for sensing some devastating pain and news. I will write another story happened with me here in Canada. I didn’t tell the other story to my family because they would think that I’m crazy or just making up stories

Spooky!👻

That’s just an old guy having a drink out of a bottle of booze. Another lost soul.

Lordy… that demon story was so scary I can’t even believe it but I totally believe it

Oh yeah!! I watched last years and wondered when this was coming back

Nice one 👍 Dave happy Halloween 🎃

Amazingly Wonderful! A video to return to, very cozy! Also happy thanksgiving (I might be a bit late)!

A little late from me to you and Nick but Happy Halloween! Another great spooky stories video in the books. I don't know about that photo but whomever or whatever it was watching you, it got some great ideas on some amazing camp gadgets and tools! 😮😊

Merry Christmas! enjoyed the stories very much,so nice to see you son is growing aroun dads customs and ideas,greeting from Germany!

Darn I was saving this for Halloween (as I have the last couple of years) but I got interrupted and couldn’t watch ..so I’m pretending today is Halloween II lol…they do say it lasts 3 days before and 3 days after 😮…. Probably shouldn’t be doing this before bed 🥴😊 Great stories as always….thanks Dave & Nick

Happy Halloween guys..that demon in the mirror sounds like it could have been Azazel ..take care guys

I think it is trees, leaves, shadows, and lighting from above. Lined up just right in the right places. But that's me. Not anyone else.

To me your figure could be trees/bushes that just so happen to look like a human figure from a specific angle. However, several years ago I thought I'd bumped into Baphomet on a walk in a local field, but on closer inspection it was a goat on it's hind legs (resting it's front legs on a fence) eating fresh foliage off a young tree at about 8pm at a time of year where it gets dark early. When I first stumbled on it however, it freaked me the F out!

Happy Halloween! Stay unspooked! EDIT: I don't have too many spooky stories myself. A friend who was visiting from America brought over the makings for Smores. They're not bad :) I think I could replicate them with things in the UK. As for the photo. I have no idea.
