STRANGER DANGER PUPPET SHOW - WHITE STAG EDUCATION 

NOTE: The original audio from 8:25 to 9:17 has been muted due to copyright restrictions. Thank you for supporting White Stag Education.

its nice to have a childrens show in a horror series that ISNT part of the evil. This show was genuinely made to try and help kids in a way they'd understand, and its only creepy to us due to glitches and the fact that we don't know what the true nature of these creatures are either.

That ending when he says don't follow them into the woods no matter how friendly they seem and you realise that's exactly what you did by following the friendly seeming puppets. Great finishing line

This whole series is so damn cool. Can't wait to see more.

I actually really like this, Luke's a good human host character, very good singing voice, looking forward to more of him.

I love how this plays with our understanding of the word "stranger." Technically, anybody you meet for the first time is a stranger by default, and the idea of "stranger danger" is the fact that because you don't know a person, you don't know what their intentions are (even though that's basically true of anyone who isn't you). However, as you go further into the video, you get the sense that the word "stranger" seems to refer to something entirely different. This begins with the song about Red Riding Hood-- er, excuse me... "Little Red," which is seemingly no help in teaching how to identify a "Stranger". But as you watch on, you start to realize that Ranger Luke is actually giving some warning signs to watch out for, such as whistling or taking the wrong path. There's also the visuals, which reveal that the "Strangers" aren't actually human, and there's a reason why Ranger Luke specifically says "big bad wolf". Then there's the pig's game, which is not only much more helpful in showing us what a "Stranger" looks like, but also introduces us to the "Adversary," which is implied to be much more dangerous.

It is _deeply_ unsettling that in this context, it's not a "stranger" as in "someone you don't know", but rather "Stranger" as in "the name of the beings you must beware of".

Finally, another decent analog horror series without cheap jumpscares

This video is so insanely underrated, can't wait to see where it goes from here! Genuinely one of the biggest breaths of fresh air I've seen from the analog horror scene in a long time

Ngl the "Stranger Danger" song goes hard 🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

The most horrifying thing implied in this video is that the granny wasn't eaten by the big bad wolf in this version, but instead it is implied that it's quite possible that it wasn't even a stranger that got Red, but instead her own grandmother. Evident when the song takes a turn and explains that it was actually her Grandmother herself that locked the door.... This series will always have a special place in my heart, it's truly terrorfying, especially given my own supernatural experience in the pine barrens years ago. Keep up the good work!!!!

I love how the park ranger genuinely seems like he's out of an old children's show. I love how this doesn't have cheap scares and leave a creepy atmosphere at the end This looks like it has great potential, I can't wait to see more.

9:36 for those who don’t want to slow down the footage the message says “the burning swords protect us”

Okay, so many info: - All puppets are named after deceased children, the "Grandwood Four". Why are they called the "Grandwood Four"? - There's a picture of one of the children, Anna Carpenter, at Rex' desk (1:18). - In the Intuitane video, Margaret Pendleton has dreamed of this puppet show even though it never went on air before she dreamed of it, and Daniel Carpenter has dreamed of the cultists (which seem to be canonically called the Strangers). - Also, are Daniel Carpenter from the Intuitane video and Anna Carpenter related? (My guess is that they are.) - Also in the Intuitane video, Daniel Carpenter drew a music sheet with the song the Strangers were whistling. It's the same whistling we hear in the Pine Barrens Hiking Safety video. But it is also EXTREMELY similar to the song played at the end of the puppet show, especially at the instrumental part (12:40). What does this mean? Also, the lyrics sound way too "cultisty". - 4:11 Is that the hole the Strangers reunite around, as described in Daniel Carpenter's Intuitane dream? - In this show, Oswald mentions that when the Strangers whistle a "melody", it means they aren't "hunting". In the Intuitane video, Daniel Carpenter is mentioned to have had a "violent encounter" with the Strangers. In the Pine Barrens Hiking Safety video, we see a person running into three Strangers at night, and their whistlings at that time are continuous and out of tune, not melodic. Does that mean they were on the hunt for Daniel Carpenter that night? - In the Christmas Eve Candelight video, there are two guys dealing with a monster in a basement. If we turn on the subtitles, one of the guys is apparently called Dan Sevee and the other is called Luke Bale. Are ranger Luke and Luke Bale the same person? - According to the subtitles, the creature who makes that loud noise is called "The Adversary". Another biblical reference. *_"Be sober, be vigilant; because the adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."_** (1 Peter 5:8, ESV)* Welp, that Adversary monster can roar alright. EDIT: 9:40 "The burning swords protect us." Thanks @fluffleFan01 for pointing it out. EDIT2: Dan Sevee and Luke Bale are the ones (the in-universe characters) responsible for all White Stag Education videos, except (presumably) for the Intuitane one, as explained in the initial disclaimer. Thanks @RekkingBoru for pointing it out. Man, this series gets more and more interesting with each new entry, holy crap! Also, my boy Stanley sure can play the banjo, haha! Great job like always, you guys, this is seriously awesome. Can't wait for the next entry!

This actually is one of the best analog horror videos I have ever seen. Amazing job!

The grandma/wolf jumpscare got me pretty good. It was incredibly unnerving.

I love that the subtitles play a role in the horror without interfering with the actual aid they give to those hard of hearing. Like, they help a lot in just understanding what's being said, but also seeing stuff like "[THE ADVERSARY LAMENTING]" adds so much more to the experience Also the puppets being named after deceased children really hit hard, it feels like a realistic thing to happen and yet at the same time so much more I just binged all the videos on this channel and I really hope this keeps going, loving it so far!

That Stranger Danger song has been in my head for the past 3 days now.. Don't trust the big bad wolf

Came for analog horror. Stayed for the Stranger Danger song. Shit unironically SLAPS!

Came here from TikTok and this is super underrated and well made, I’d love to see this channel grow!

when is stranger danger dropping on spotify⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

The music for 7:32 and 12:01 have the same melody. Also when you turn the captions on and keep playing the song it'll say [inviting melody plays] which probably connects to when the ranger says "do not follow them into the woods, no matter **how friendly they look**." Maybe they whistle that song to lure in people who knows If you didn't notice 4:10 have a hole in the little red song which also connects to the previous video where one of the people's dream. Other than that the song at the end sounds so good and I keep replaying it over and over.

In case people are wondering what the chronological order these videos are in: Intuitane testing video Pine Barrens Hiking Video Puppet show video Christmas Candlelight video Note: there may be a correlation between Anna and Daniel Carpenter. She may be his daughter.

I’m LOVING the creativity of this series!?! Using the childhood nostalgic like puppets to represent children is so innocent like yet terrifying. To have this series to have a cult operate in the shadows is horrifying. This stuff EXISTS. We’d always find comfort in Sesame Street and the muppets yet these guys are invincible. The strangers would’ve done horrifying things to them and sacrificed them for some reason. I’d LOVE to go in depth with this series more in the future Bc this could actually have a movie or short film act as a sequel. Someone goes out to investigate the disappearance, Resident Evil 7 esk, finds out about alla this in the forest and builds up the motivation to end this themselves.

" it was too late, granny locked the door, red saw her face, it wasnt her-" in addition to the jumpscare (which actually got me pretty bad) theres an even scarier implication here. The rest of the song followed a rhyming pattern, so you can assume that whatever word would have come after "her" would have rhymed with "door", and the only word that makes sense is "anymore". It wasn't her ANYMORE. so this isnt a monster that killed and impersonated her grandma, her grandma transformed into a monster, meaning that whatever a "Stranger" is, it was possibly once a human. Also, i think that ranger luke is actually a stranger, and could possibly be luke bale, who probably had something bad happen to him at the end of the Christmas video, leading to him being transformed into a stranger. Why? First of all, lukes ears are unusualy pointy, almost like.... *Wolf* ears, and he sings about the big bad wolf, who is meant to represent a stranger. Also he seems to know a lot about Strangers, being able to tell if we are a stranger or not just by looking at us and knowing what the stranger's whistling means. Maybe its just because hes a park ranger and deals with strangers a lot, but... Idk. Also this may be a reach but "ranger" is only two letters off from "stranger", so if he actually is one, i wouldnt be surprised if the series will do a hint where we see his name and for a split second ranger is changed to stranger or something. And if this id rhe case, it's possible some or all of his advice is useless or wrong and will actually get people killed

we need a studio version of the stranger danger song

The fact that all the four puppets were saying “but we can’t rest until our stories are told” seems odd

Rex: I met someone new today! And they seem very nice and great, but...I don't know if they're a stranger or not! Ranger Luke: *slide whistles in* Me: (35-year-old man in an otter kigurumi, drinking coffee to chase the first edible of the night) Ranger Luke: Hmm...looks like a Pacific Northwest midlife crisis to me! Me: Do you believe in the soul

God, that face that showed up at the end of the Big Bad Wolf song was so creepy, it was so well placed! I love the type of horror that keeps you on your toes and doesn't rely on cheap jumpscares. Good job with the video and the series, I can't wait to see more!

The way everyone reacts to us at first and how anna asked “how do you know they’re not a stranger?” The way she sounded made it more sound like the cult that haunts the forest and not an actual stranger. I’m sure you all heard that the cult in the forest are called “the strangers”.

Finally, an analog horror series that isn’t a slideshow with no production value.

THAT STRANGER DANGER SONG IS SO GOOD WHAT?!?!

Stranger danger has no businesses being that catchy.

It’s been so long since an analog horror video actually freaked me out I’m loving this series

YO! This is actually FIRE!!!! It's like... this era of Children's Entertainment based horror is about to be MUCH MORE than just FNAF clones! This was beautifully done, well produced and directed, and it felt so authentic! It wasn't full of jumpscares, but it had an eerie feel to it. I'm no horror expert, but THAT"S some GOOD WORK! I'm AMAZED!

This looks janky and low budget in the best possible way. 12/10, mad respect, I love it. The acting, music, and puppets give me the feeling this is an analogue horror that really wants to go above and beyond.

I haven't seen anyone comment this before, but after the "How to spot a Stranger" part with The Pig. There's a split second freeze frame of a quote. "The burning swords protect us." Could be something to keep in mind for the future.

Please don't leave it a year for the next part.. This was brilliantly terrifying.

"I've seen many ARG series. I can do this!" *In Memory of the Grandwood Four kicks in* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (Is actually crying)

Both this and TRYRED WITNESS ARCHIVES are severely underrated channels that deserve more praise and attention for what they do. I hope more people get the chance to see this sometime soon.

insane job on the outro song, i seriously can’t stop listening to it

This is the genuine DEFINITION of PEAK analog horror. I am furious that I didn't find this sooner, you guys are doing an absolutely amazing job!!!

I've grown tired of analog horror recently, but this is actually really good! Love the subversion of the "strangers" being creatures in the woods, and the twist at the end was also cool as hell

Alright, I’m trying to piece the story together here. Here’s what I got: A line of pills called Intuitane is released that help boost the power of foresight. The side-effects of this pill primarily revolve around disturbing dreams. The dreams these test subjects have hint towards other videos in the White Stag series, and since the pills are meant to boost foresight, it can be inferred that this was the first event in the White Stag continuity. One of the dreams depicts a never-before televised puppet show about the perils of stranger danger, with a park ranger and one of the main characters being named Rex. This is exactly what we see in THIS video, showing that the foresight pills really worked. Lets talk about the Strangers for a moment. They’re a group of masked humanoids that dwell in the forest of a NJ hiking path and whistle to anyone who wanders onto a “false trail.” If they whistle a song, you’re supposed to wait for the song to end, then run the other direction. If the whistles aren’t a song, you close your eyes and run. The Strangers seem to be working for a creature called the Adversary, who roams beneath the forest. And the Strangers have an undeniable presence in every one of the videos. In the first one, they’re hunting a wayward hiker who took a false path and couldn’t escape. In the third video, one of the pill test subjects has dreams of the Strangers. This video’s puppet show is LITERALLY CALLED “STRANGER DANGER” and goes into how to avoid Strangers (with a capital s, so not just people you don’t know), and what to do if you wind up on a false path. Plus, it’s dedicated to four kids who were lost in the Grandwood Forest and presumably got killed by the Strangers, one of which named Rex. The second video, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, starts out as a relatively normal religious event. However, the second part two men going into a basement and getting attacked by a demonic creature. One of them doesn’t make it out alive. THEORIES: I have reason to believe that the people that went into the basement are Luke Bale (Ranger Luke) and Dan Sevee, and Luke didn’t make it out alive. This is due to the newspaper clipping posted onto this channel’s community tab, depicting an article about the death of Luke Bale. My guess is that the Adversary killed him, though the basement is not said to have been in the forest, so that may just be confirmation bias. Another theory I have is that the Jersey Devil, another unexplained monster dwelling around Grandwood National Park, killed Luke, due to the same clipping also discussing sights of the Devil, and Luke being found dead OUTSIDE the forest, not inside where the Adversary could’ve killed him. Maybe the religious readings during the Christmas Service summoned the devil? But then how do the Strangers fit into this? Did THEY summon the devil? I’m not entirely sure. Actually yeah, didn’t the two people run OUT of the basement after seeing the Adversary/Jersey Devil/whatever it is? That would explain why Luke would be dead OUTSIDE of the forest (assuming the basement is somewhere in the forest). But then comes the question: who killed him? I suppose it’s also possible that the Adversary and Jersey Devil are the SAME entity, which is probably the theory I’ll subscribe to, even though it doesn’t make sense for Luke to be dead OUTSIDE the park. EDIT: Just read the newspaper more thoroughly, Luke’s body was found on Christmas Day, and the religious event was on Christmas Eve. So…the Adversary and Jersey Devil CAN’T be the same thing, because if the religious readings summoned the Jersey Devil, he wouldn’t have been around when the puppet show was made. Though…the newspaper also mentions that the Devil has been around for a few weeks before the murder, so…… I can’t say for sure yet. But hey, this is really interesting! I’ve never been big on analog horror, but I found this video via Pastra and David Baron’s watch party, and I’m really excited to see what happens in the fifth video! Who knows’s maybe it’ll have to do with the meteor that the guy dreamed about in the Intuitane commercial, under the influence of those pills. We’ll see!

This is legitimately the best horror analog episode I've ever seen, It's SO nostalgic on so many levels, I really hope they keep making these types of videos.

I love how the captions are automatically on, it makes it feel even more a real TV airing, like closed captions were left on on the TV

This episode made the story of Little Red Riding Hood 10x scarier

Really liked that Stranger Danger sing a long. Gradually brought back references from earlier videos and got creepy at the end

I love how the tv show and the city is genuinely trying to help the kids and people from not getting caught by the strangers

Yo the quality of this video is straight fire! You clearly put a lot of effort into making the show realistic and believable, actually going to a real forest and filming on location, having actual musical talent, you could get people to believe this was made by a real studio!

Hi guys, something I’ve noticed. But there might be a subtle Lovecraft reference here. At 10:25 you can hear a distinct bird cry. This bird I believe is the whippoorwill, which is a bird that is featured in the story ‘The Dunwich Horror.’ Not sure if the story will have relevance here, but I thought this to be an interesting connection 🙂

I need this to be an actual song NOW I keep listening to it I can't even!!

This is way too underrated

So wholesome!! My kids and I sing the Stranger Danger song to remember what to do if we see a Stranger!

This is so refreshing from the typical analog horror text screens

This is honestly the best analog horror I ever seen, there should be more to this

Ranger Luke is a real one, I'd love to go camping with him.

I like Rex's Voice He is very charismatic 😊

Imagine if a teacher sees the title and channel name and maybe only the start but not the actual video, and then shows this to the kids in their class.

I gotta say, I really like this series’s focus on music. That little red song and the song in the end has been making me come back to watch this. They’re just good songs.

This is somehow the most relaxing yet unnerving analog I’ve seen in a good bit I find myself getting so chilled and all most sleepy relaxed from this then when the scares happen it’s shakes it up and creeps me out so much more since it’s one not in my face and two subtle and effective amazing work overall

Bro just revived Analog Horror..

That final twist came out of nowhere! I'm very much enjoying this series! Something I really like is that the horror elements of this series aren't an unknown. Instead, it's only the viewer that's in the dark. There's something unsettling about how everyone regards the strangers as just another thing they have to deal with. There's horror in how banal it's thought of.

Very interesting series so far. I can tell that Gemini Home Entertainment and other similar analog horror projects were influences, but you've done a good job differentiating this from them. I look forward to seeing what comes from you in the future.

Excellent work on the song I'm gonna have this stuck in my head for a few days for sure

The waltz (the song the Strangers whistle?) that plays over the credits honestly has a really haunting melody. Isnt it kind of weird that a program warning about the implications of hearing this song uses it as background music almost exclusively throughout the entire runtime though? Lol.

I wouldn’t be opposed to the Stranger danger album

ok there’s most definitely some religious themes going on, the whole “burning sword protects us” is similar to how in the Bible a flaming sword protected the garden of Eden, and how in that same clip the thing that writhes beneath is represented as a snake, which could refer to satan

Wow. Criminally underrated. The horror here feels a lot more sinister than your usual analog horror villain. The attention to details is striking and there is a lot of passion behind this work for sure! I reaaaally want more of this!!

This is next level, so much effort!! This analog horror keeps getting better and better

12:18 WHAT IS THAT MELODY?!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

why is the ranger kinda cute lol

I honestly don't know why this is so underrated 💀

I just now found this channel and I immediately knew it was analog horror. No one can make something with puppets and/or safety without it having anything to do with something horrific!

ranger luke is a cutie

1:33 That caught me so off guard lmao the Tom scream never fails

This is honestly the best use of analog horror

this is so well made i thought i was watching a regular video until i saw the wolf lmao

Welcome home wishes it was this good

i just stumbled upon this and woah… its really good😭😭😭

Jumpscare approaching at 5:20; actual jumpscare at 5:27

This is a very underrated series I hope this gets popular soon THIS is actual analog horror

The bonk threw me off so much, also the granny wolf was honestly unexpectedly creepy

Remember kids, when some weirdo with a video camera walks into your house, introduce yourself and invite them to go camping!

So from what I could gather, this series is about a cult that resides in the Pine Barrens. This cult worships a being known as the Adversary, and seemingly hunt down hikers by creating false trails. Now, what they do once they find them I’m not sure, but judging by the memorial segment at the end of this episode, I would guess they kill them as a sort of sacrifice. It seems that the cult is known about by the Park, and creates these videos to help educate the public and keep them safe. They make instructional hiking safety videos to protect hikers on the trails, educational videos to teach children if they get lost, etc. Now, the Intuitane video I’m not so sure about, the warning at the beginning makes it seem like it was published by White Stag, but I don’t see what it has to do with the other videos. I think that White Stag is also a publishing company and doesn’t just make safety videos. Christmas Candle Light Service seems to support this as that video has nothing to do with the safety videos. Now, I’m gonna go on a little tangent and talk about how the Intuitane vid ties into the series. Now, obviously the prediction about the puppet show was a hint about what the next video was gonna be, but the comet part seems notable. Earlier, one of the dream descriptions talks about a large hole in the ground, which makes an appearance in this video at 4:11. I think the hole was the crater that was caused by the comet, and possibly the origin of the Adversary. The drawing of the comet in the Inutitane video looks more like a meteor, so I think that the meteor contained the Adversary, and after landing, the Adversary burrowed into the ground, judging by this line of text at 9:33. Now, the masked people? I don’t know if they are human or not. The line at 11:50 seems to suggest the latter, but where did they come from if that was the case? I personally think they are human, and until new info comes up, my opinion will stay that way. But that concludes my theory/ramble.

i was expecting a scare when the adversary would appear but seeing an actual hand puppet was extremely funny. i really like the quality here!

Coming back cause the song gets stuck in my head ngl

that stranger danger song was a banger wtf

I cannot stress how much I adore the musical motif in this. The fact that the strangers whistle can be heard everywhere, from dreams, to when the adversary rises( 9:20), to the outro song. Especially the lyrics for the outro(which arnt a part of the original song) like the whole idea that everyone sings this song of the forest, playing a larger part in the story than we know, and the idea that it’s calling to heaven. It’s also such a great melody, hearing it in the outro feels so calming, yet when it’s whistled by the strangers, it’s haunting. My theory is that maybe it serves as a form of protection from the adversary, the strangers whistle it before hunting so they are not consumed, the park plays it at the end of their tv show to perhaps keep those watching safe. I’m a big nerd for anything musical and motifs so I really love how it’s being used, it’s a very underrated and subtle way of communicating messages to an audience.

the little red hood song kept me focused so i got scared asf

We are so lucky to have this on our recommended omg

Ranger Luke’s ears are awfully pointy…

This just popped up on my feed and it seems neat

This is how you do ‘kids show turned creepy’ right. This is true horror

this is my first video from your channel ive seen and im obsessed already, theres something so charming about it while also being so unsettling. i like that the horror isnt super heavy-handed, it was just the right amount to be unnerving and the "in memory" ending left me with a sinking feeling, totally great. the long pauses on the stranger puppets was a great way of building tension, and the view of the stranger early on in the red riding hood song helped add to the tension because i was left wondering if another scare like that would happen, but instead the expectation for something else like that to happen was never met, meaning the tension didnt dissipate and stayed with me after watching - the part where oswald and gleeson encounter the strangers and the adversary in the woods comes close, but we still dont get to see them, just the puppets afterward. i also really appreciate the subtitles! i feel like some people think theyll ruin the immersion, but they didnt at all and actually helped add to the fear factor because i was wondering from the very beginning why "Stranger" was capitalized and what on earth the adversary was. really glad to see such a good horror video thats accessible to me! thank you! tldr im a big nerd about horror and this one gave me a pit in my stomach, 10/10

YESSS I LOVE THE HELL OUTTA THIS KEEP IT UP

Well, now I need to know what it could mean by "The burning swords protect us."

ily forever ranger luke you will always be my pookie

If i had a dime every time an Analog Horror series used puppetry. I would have 4. Which isn't much, but it's a coincidence that it happened 4 times.

I'm glad there is finally a lesson pointing out how silly it is to label every person you don't know a stranger.
