The most scared I've been while Wild Camping - Overnight in an abandoned house in the woods 

Pal you have changed my life and also my children's life who are both in their 20's and my grand kids lives. We now go out wild camping , building fires in the woods out the back of the village we live in. All owned by the woodland trust. Thank you so much for inspiring us . you should have your own TV prog . Take care Hazy

I was just winter camping in the backwoods of Ontario a few weeks ago and got the heeby jeebies like I was being watched while sitting by my fire. I went to bed thinking it must just be my mind playing tricks on me...the next morning woke up and saw wolf tracks circling ALL around my bivouac. Sometimes that 6th sense is no trick of the mind.

Do you realise loads of people follow you and regard you as a best friend without ever meeting you. Keep the great work going and inspiring loads of guys and girls

Surely I can't be the only person who noticed that in the window at 22:43 😄

About 7-8 years back I spent a year and a half living in a tent alone in the woods. Also did so when I was in my twenties (62 now). I can honestly say it was the most peaceful times of my life. Nothing like sitting under the stars at night listening to coyotes,owls and other animals calling in the night. Having your morning coffee and breakfast while the birds and day time creatures wake up with you. The sub zero days were brutal but, the quite of a fresh snow is amazing.

I was in the woods one dark night. There was a fair wind and clouds were racing over the full moon. There were owls hooting and strange noises in the undergrowth and then the moon went behind the clouds. Suddenly there was a low whistle and my face was enveloped in a damp mist, or fog, or some sort on ectoplasm… and then I realised that the kettle was boiling…

Hello Mr Hazey, this is my first comment on one of your videos and being one of your rarer lady followers I wanted to drop you a comment. I came across your channel during lockdown and have been working my way through almost every one of your videos! I watch you every night before bed and I can’t tell you how your positivity puts my anxious brain in such a good place. I’ve taken my daughter camping since she was 4 months old (arguably glamping in comparison lol) I love it! My favourite videos of yours, as a keen home cook, are always the ones where you are cooking up a storm in the woods or on a mountain. Every time I hear the zip on your tent it evokes wonderful memories. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do and for being part of my mental health remedy - you inspired me to buy tarp, paracord and a bush box for my nephews for Christmas, they loved it and I secretly wanted it for myself :) best wishes to you and yours and keep up the good work 😃

Man, I can relate more than you know. Last year in October I went on a 10 night, 11 day backpacking trip through Yellowstone, solo. Normally I wouldn't go alone, but everything that could go wrong with a hiking partner, did. So, I went alone. The first 6 nights were a breeze. I slept like a rock listening to the elk, loons, coyotes, and wolves all around me. Beautiful. The 7th night was very different. I was ~50 miles into my trip, at the confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Thorofare River, deep in the Thorofare. It had been raining on and off all day, then poured buckets in the early evening. When I was finally able to start a fire the sun had already set. I sat, deep in a thick stack of Pines with everything clicking all around me from the rain drops slowly falling down. Two elk cut right through camp (which was a glorified maze of game trails) and scared the crap out of me around 10:30 PM. Then around 11 they started fighting just on the other side of the river. The stomping and huffing you could hear. It was just a perfect combination of too much of the wrong noise. Around midnight I finally gave up and went to my tent, popped in some earbuds and passed out. It's amazing the feeling you have the next morning when you pop out and look around to your own chagrin that nothing even came close. Still, I felt what you were saying, lol... thanks!

Please never stop doing those night-sky time lapses, they're always so beautiful and evocative and the music is always a great accompaniment too!

22:45 Absolutely superb Hazy., actually spooked me for a split second ya bam!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....superb vid as always. You are a total legend. Loved by all 🙏👍

Another awesome upload. Spent a lot of time in North Yorkshire on various paranormal investigations, the area is riddled with folklore, myths, legends, and ghost stories. I've researched, investigated and written numerous books on the topics, and advised on several popular television shows on the subject. Historically speaking, there's a lot of tragedy in the area. Great video.

Planning several wild camps and multi day hikes this year, all because of haze. It’s mad eh? My wee boy loves it too and will be coming along. Truly inspiring

I used to be afraid of the dark when I was little, and I realized that it was only scary inside a house. God bless you, son xxx

Making yourself face your fears and going back to that same camp site is awesome. I had a steep rock outcropping that I tried to climb and I froze and had to make my way back down. A year later, I redid the climb and made it to the top, I was very happy about that. I see this as the same sort of thing. Good on you Haze.

Love the little head you had popping round the window, had to rewind just to check I wasn't seeing things, heart skipped a beat 🤣. Great video haze

Words can't express how much I appreciate your authenticity and uplifting videos. I wish you health, happiness, a million subscribers and copious amounts of positive juju x

Loved the little peek from behind the window at the end! Yeah the windows are creepy. Very Blair witch vibes. Haha enjoyed watching you get creeped out!

I’ve starting dogging in my local woods down to this hazey channel, it’s awesome I’ve made loads of new friends “including the woodpecker” and when we are all finished we go litter picking. It’s a win win for everyone.

Great vid. I remember a camp in some spooky woods! When things are spooky it definitely changes your brain waves to another level. I remember sitting around a fire and looking at a tree line in the near distance. If I stared into it I could see shadows starting to form and then they seemed to writhe around. It’s amazing what your mind can do. Maybe its just deep dark primordial instinct kicking in to protect us of threats in the dark. Take it easy man 🤙🏼

I camped at a very similar place, a ruined house on the island in the middle of Loch clunie in Perthshire. It's almost identical to the set up there, half standing and with window frames intact. I hammock camped between 2 trees just outside of the ruins and it was a very scary place. I came to the conclusion that it was ther windows that were also freaking me out. It was an uneventful camp, but that feeling of dread never left me the whole time. another cool vid though bro, thank you.

I follow a small handful of bushcrafters and you're by far my most watched. You are the most natural and "closest to home," if you will, to watch. Your videos are how my overnights and short trips go with my kiddos and feel more real than the often staged stuff my sons and I have seen. Thank you for being genuinely wonderful and real, Hazy. Much love from Texas in USA!

Hello from America! I just found and subscribed to your channel and enjoy it immensely. Because of a hip replacement gone wrong and leukemia my backpacking days are over. We live in western North Carolina not far from the Smoky mountains but I grew up near the Application trail in Virginia. I've hiked a lot of great trails and had wonderful experiences. Your videos bring back great memories for me. Here is some advice from an old guy, enjoy your youth and take nothing for granted! Keep the great content coming. P S who does the first song on this video? It is beautiful!

I had the same feeling when I camped outside a farm in Bosnia and there were bullet holes everywhere and shallow graves and I really felt completely uneasy and I couldn't sleep at all... it felt real man!

Great video, thank you for sharing. When I was in my college years, my friends and I would go every summer and take the horses and camp up in the Rocky Mountains. This one year we rode past t bunch of old mining and logging camps that have long been abandoned decades earlier. It was getting dark and we decided to stop and camp at one of these old mining camps that had a mine shaft about 50 yards from the camp. The horses started to get really fidgety and ready to bolt. We couldn't get them to settle, so we decided to move on. We continued on and enjoyed our excursion throughout the next couple of weeks. When we were riding out we stopped at the ranger station to let them know we were leaving and we told him about the one camp that had the horses freaking out. The ranger asked where it was and we told him. He pulled out at book and said that camp was a site where an Indian attack wiped out the miners there. So I guess the spirits never left and didn't want us there!

Haze, thank you so much for taking us with you on your adventures! I love how you go a step further to really leave no trace. And how excited you get when you see a bird or deer, totally love it. Thank you again!

Dude, that spot is creepy. Absolutely love your time lapse. You never disappoint, cheers Hazy

I have spent my life wild camping, and don't generally believe in anything supernatural, or "other". But I spent a night once just outside of Sydney and felt not necessarily scared, but more upset and emotionally defenceless. The site had once been the place where many indigeoness people had been massacred. Quite freaked me out when I found out.

I was once wandering in the woods, happy as Larry. All of a sudden it went silent . I felt like I was getting watched. I felt so scared can’t explain it. I ran out of them woods. Didn’t feel safe till I was a little ways out of them

Crazy Haze I don't know which was more insane- camping at an eerie ruin or taking a polar bear plunge- but that's why we gravitate to your videos!

I just stumbled across your channel and I like the videos. I am 68 years old and have COPD and emphysema. I battle with oxygen hunger. So I watch youtube videos of people trekking and tenting and having fun and enjoying life. Kinda helps me feel I'm chilling with you all. I Sub and want to say hello from Texas USA

I have a good friend I love to camp with out here in the Appalachians in Virginia. We decided to overnight at a place noted for a particularly brutal fight during the American Civil War. It was remote and lush but we camped in a clearing near an old structure reputed to have been used as an impromptu hospital and morgue during the war. As night began to fall just setting around the campfire talk of course turned to the war and all the reports of haunting and spooky things seen and happening in the area, which is why we picked that spot in the first place. I got to tell you, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as we shared ghost stories and every time I heard something moving in the woods or field behind the structure beyond the light of our fire. We finally decided to call it a night and as we were turning in my friend fished out his 12ga Persuader shotgun from his pack. He loaded two shells and as he did I told him that was going to be useless against a ghost. His response (paraphrased) "oh this ain't for the ghosts, I just don't plan on letting them have their way with me...this will be a whole lot quicker" to which I said "oh, so that's why you only bought two cartridges with you..." Yup..another semi-sleepless night in camp!

the forest has a lovely texture from above. Love how winter exposes the architecture of tree bodies.

That was a really well-done video...the music, the time lapse, etc. And what a beautiful old place atop a hill in a forest. It makes you wonder who lived there and when...what did they do and was it lonely? Well done, subscribed.

I can only echo what so many people have already said - your videos are truly inspirational, your skills are beyond measure and your knowledge is encyclopedic, but the reason I watch your latest releases before anybody else's is because your love of the land, the forest and the mountains is so emphatically life-affirming that it makes it all the more profoundly moving that you dedicate so much of your best content to men's mental health. If you ever fancy heading beyond the wall to the Cheviots, there are some magnificent wild camping locations I would be delighted to show you, along with some of the best fishing marks and real ales in Britain. Either way, much love to you and yours from Bernicia.

My imagination is the main thing that prevents me from trying wild camping. I know you can just think logically about what each sound is and prevent those unknowns. However, I frequently get feelings that something else is there with me in the dark and it terrifies me haha. My only plan of action for the initial try of wild camping is bringing plenty to drink!

Yeah, I try to stay away from places like that. Enough stuff goes on in the woods at night without adding a creepy old house. lol. I also never sleep in a tent. Half shelter only for security reasons. Takes me about one second to roll out with my light and weapon to check out suspicious noise. When you feel a persistent unease, listen to your instincts.

I mean this in the best possible way mate but seeing you nearly cack yourself has been the highlight of my week 😂

You are a legend. Thanks for bringing me so much cheer on a pretty miserable morning.

I really like your camping spot even though it’s a bit creepy at night. It’s amazing how remote that area is considering how the remains of that house sit in a section of forest with nothing around it. Speaking of that, Another viewer said that your overnight stay really spoke to him and it also spoke to my own personal experiences when you see shadowy figures that aren’t there. In his words he said; “Maybe it’s just the deep dark primordial instinct kicking in to protect us of threats in the dark.” Based off his words I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone wilderness camping either solo or with a buddy only to see the silhouette of what looks to be another human or group of people completely enveloped in the shadows. Part of me knows it’s just an optical illusion but the other part of me thinks, what if those shadows are people who mean me harm!? Our brain is preprogrammed to look for the human shape in nature no matter what situation or environment we’re currently in. Needless to say, when you’re alone in the dark, in a very remote place like in the open wilderness, it’s amazing what your brain comes up with.

You are sound mate, been through loads of these types of channels recently and I'm loving your work, thank you

Spent the last couple of months watching your channel, revving up to going on a wild camp and now you have just scared the snot out of me cheers! 🤣🙏

His mate peeking round the window at 22:44 lol 😆

Yeah. I was hiking in the mountains behind my house. Stopped at a bench at the top for a bite to eat and there was a low cloud and a quite strong wind. Quite eerie. As clear as day I heard children laughing in the distance behind me. And the wind was blowing in the opposite direction to the sounds. Even weirder is that the area I heard the sounds is impassable bogland. I didn't sit on the bench too long

Great to see you survived without incident. You are so good about over coming your fears. You are fearless Haze. Always enjoy the content, serious, extremely funny, looking for the good in everything and being positive. The least I can do is oblige and even watch the commercials. Do this as long as you enjoy it and we will be here as well to partake in your adventures. Much love to you. Here’s to many, many more subscribers! You deserve every one. Cheers.

2.35 - I had to rewind and make sure I hadn’t imagined the body lying face down 😂😂 Just finished watching the Cape Wrath trail mini series! Absolutely loved it and now I have the pleasure of working my way back through all your content. Really great stuff - keep it up 👍

You and wild bear,take me off to how I love,I'm homeless,and have been for 33yrs, I've done all the seasons and basic is the best,well done to you,I'm in a caravan this year with a gas bottle wood burner,I'm 63,so this winter I'm in , don't like trailers but it is what it is,out again in spring🌈😁🤸🤸👍❤️

Cracks me up ! Love the daft comments Mikaela bracken, Del Boy etc Always gets me giggling. Sunday positivity sets me up for the week. Cheers hazy 🍻

22:44 seeing that little face pop in from behind the window was a nice touch!

Crikey this should be a fun one… let me grab a northern monk to enjoy it!! Love the videos Hazey thanks for all your hard work (and your service in the power-rangers too).

You're brave, I couldn't do that, especially by myself. Maybe the person who lived there had been afraid looking out into that isolated place, and you picked up their vibe. I wonder how old that structure is; it really is different and beautiful. Beautiful montages!

Great video. I think we shouldn’t ignore our sixth sense or subconscious because it’s often smarter than we know. I was once standing just outside some woodland and felt that I was being watched from a high branch in a pine tree. The branch was under shadow from the above needles so I trained my binoculars on the branch and behold, there was a grey squirrel standing stock still and watching me. These “feelings” come from our past when we lived in the wild and depended a lot more on all our senses working in unison in order to live. Ray Mears’s book We Are Nature is an excellent reference for this sort of thing.

When I was younger use to do a lot of hiking and camping loved the wild, but now I am disabled and can't do that anymore, but my grandson's. Love to do it, when they was lttle use to tell them stories about when I went so now they do it and love it. Great to see your videos

Another outstanding video to catapult us all into another week, we need it. On a personal note, my daughter bought me one of your t shirts and your merch people could not have been more helpful. Trained in your image they were, and completely brilliant. Thanks mate

So envious . I used love camping but alas can not no more ,your time last was beautiful. Thankyou will follow you from now on .x

great stuff hazey, high production values great content and even better company.

I think the past and the present exist alongside each other, so whilst you were camping previous residents were going about their lives. You were very brave. Thankyou for sharing.....

Did anybody else notice the man peaking around the window frame at 22:45!!!! If that was a wind up Hazy I pooed my pants! 👻

Ha Ha, nicely done. I like the face appearing behind the window at 22:45. Nice touch.

Without giving away the location this place is said to be the home of a Fairy called *Name Redacted*. There is a few folktales about her, one of which she chopped a horse in half, so that’s nice. It’s said she doesn’t like visitors unless they leave her an offering or gift, something personal and something valued. If you believe in things like that. If you want I can link you to the stories. There are loads of great folktales surrounding NY, would make a great series of videos exploring the locations.

22:44 Hilarious with the head peeking round the window. LOL

We love watching your videos! You scared my 12 year old witless tonight / she was the only one who spotted the face 😱

That's a great structure, for camping with a firepit.....nice. I haven't been camping for a while now, so I watch all these great videos....on YT, i get my fix.

No I don't mind the camping in the woods but as for abandoned buildings etc you can keep that for yourself another great episode though take care my friend love from Lincolnshire

Just brilliant. I think I would freak out as well. Big respect. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️. Cheers. Watto.

It is healthy to keep a open mind. As a person that has done lot of fieldwork during the night, to study nocturnal wildlife, sometimes even in king hunting grounds or close to abandoned houses and cemeteries (in most cases unintentionally, because I only found out that later, when I looked at my positions on the map), I have had a few experiences which I can´t really explain. it wasn´t that common, but some stuff could be possibly explained by residual energy which was stored on stone (like chalk) or other local substrates ,and manifesting out like it was a old cassette, while some other stuff, seemed too intelligent, intentional and interactive, to be simply regarded as «residual noise.» These unexplained happenings were rare and always made me feel more surprised than scared, because I wasn´t feeling scared before I witness the events (I´m used to be out at night, after all) and because I wasn´t really expecting something strange to happen. Sometimes I had some colleagues with me which witness the same unusual hapennings . Most experiences were visual, some were perceived as obvious touch and a few were evident on audio recordings (which were meant to record animal sounds). I don´t know about the supernatural, but I guess that there are some things that we still don´t understand or simply have no idea. But it surely helps to open our minds, when we witness stuff happening in front of our eyes. Maybe some areas are more prone to strange things to happen? Maybe some of the places which have been regarded as «haunted» by their owners and by several ghost researchers, have really something going on? I don´t know, but maybe one day we will have an answer. The best advice that I can give, right now, is keep a open mind and research things by your own. It is much more convincing, when we experience it ourselves, than by listening to others.

Love the bit added at 22.45 on the right of the second window. Very good.

Energy don't lie hazey, that unease, feelings and seeing out the corner of the eyes is spirits trying to get in touch with you or just let you know they're there. A good thing to do if not too scared is talk to them and say to them your name, why your there and ask them to leave you alone, usually they will leave you be. If it's something negative light a candle in the corner of that area of where you're seeing the most energy, they don't like the light. Namaste outta trouble hazey

Yep- you're a total legend- thank you! Glad you didn't light the fire in the fire place as that really worried me last time! You really are an inspiration ☺️

Love this Hazy, definitely Blair witch vibes going on there. You're an inspiration! Keep up good work, stay safe

Great video Haze, nice to see you back at the Old Folly. Stick with it mate, always go with your gut feeling. The amount of time you spend outdoors allows you to be more connected and in tune with nature. Many people have sadly lost that, it's the world we live in. This was another great video, also, a nice touch at 22:45 of the video, LOL. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing, stay safe mate and keep doing what makes you happy. Atb, Paul.

Doesn't matter how many camps I go on, occasionally in the right setting I get the right heeby jeebies for no reason!

Abandoned places, used clothes, things ... Everything humany Carries residual energies. Esp abandoned places. But fascinating non the less. And that's a beautiful time lapse.

Brilliant. Really enjoyed that. Great footage, food and great shot with the catapult! There's no way I'd have camped there..or jumped in freezing cold water! Massive kudos 🙌

I’m walking the full Haidrians wall started Sunday an starting Newcastle to coast 84 miles…I’m literally camping besides the wall tonight on a solo camp/ adventure now as I’m watching this haha let’s hope the stones on the wall don’t haunt me tonight…loving ya vids and look forward to patches been back in stock for my new backpack x

Nature has taken millennia to get us to this point in our evolution. That’s why you should never discount those gut/chest feelings. They developed to keep us safe and alive. There is *definitely* something wrong at that site. I’m extremely sensitive to these things (don’t take the pi*s please, this is just my experience) and I wouldn’t want to be taking any feelings back home with me from there. It is residual, but it is also current. Time is not a linear thing either now, or on the woo-woo side of things. You were a brave boy & definitely earned your spook badge to be sewn on your sleeve with that one. As always, it’s great to see you, and I cannot thank you enough for your skyscapes. One day perhaps I’ll tell you why they mean the world to me. I’m eternally grateful for them & you have no idea how what you do helps others. Much love Haze 💕 and to all watching 🥰

This is the first bid I have seen of yours. Very enjoyable. I have to believe you inserted the face in the window at 22:44. That made my day. Keep it up mate.

Did anyone else catch a glimpse of something in the second window from the left at 22:45? Reflection? And yes, I've run into entities in many different places; some benign, some pretty damn creepy.

You're such a peaceful person and we can see how you enjoy camping and Mother Nature. I don't think, if there's a departed soul lingering, that it would bring any evil to you. Maybe once upon a time the person was a loner and just enjoyed the quiet life and enjoys someone like minded like you who just enjoys being in the wild. Just enjoy the peace. Remember, at some stage in life we all peek through windows. Hehe...especially at our neighbours 👀, that's why windows are there. Hehe! Happy 2022 adventures.

I put my best WTF spooky, wild-camping story on your Patreon page but last time I was scared camping, I was reading about the Dyatlov pass incident in me tent and there was a lot of snow about. That was a bad move. Also don't take Missing 411 books camping :D

Thank you for uploading this..... times not been kind, however seeing you out and about has been a pure delight!!!

Er! Did you see the head peeping into the window about 22:45! I chuffing Sharted!

That folly was enjoyed at least by the person who had it built, so if you feel an energy, there’s definitely something there, but not necessarily sinister. Maybe they still see it as a complete building and wonder why your camping, probably watching you thinking, “what is he doing now?!”

I tried camping in a woods alone for 3 nights. I was part of a small group of women camped in different parts of the wood, even so I more scared than I’ve ever been in my life. Mischievous fairy energy. They messed with my stuff. I would never camp near an abandoned dwelling, it would finish me off 😮

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful butterfly. I've never seen one like that.

When he said the chimney chinned the tree I literally spat my drink out 🤣 proper caught me off guard

Mate , you crack me up with your word plays Mykela Bracken, It's a Shay Given LOL. Keep up the great work, you put a smile on my face.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I absolutely love your good juju and respect for the land. 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Those Butterflies are incredibly Amazing!!

This is the first time I've watched your channel. You're so funny, brave AND remind me of home.

Fantastic video mate. Sometimes that thought just comes into your head and once it's there it's difficult not to feel scared. Happened to me once wild camping in Spain. Never should have watched Easy Rider as a kid. You videos are great, please keep making them.

Brilliant video mate….loved the music and night pics 👌💯❤️

The vibe for me is if you get a vibe someone is. We were camping a few years ago, a few of us had the vibe we snook away from the fire, did a bit of recon, sussed out two lads lamping.

Thanks Hazy. Take care, stay well. I like that place, it has a certain kind of beauty.

😂😂😂😂 when the head appeared in the window. Cracking video again mate 👌

Great video! Really enjoyed your narration & terrific shots, esp night ones! I do believe in spirits and know exactly what you mean when you can "just feel it"! I admire your inner strength it took to return here. I also admire your polar plunge in the morn - between the bad ju-ju & the artic bath, you may want to have a good cardiologist on call!! LOL. New subbie for sure. Thank you for sharing a grand time.

I hope you will see my post. Your video just popped up first time so I decided to watch it do to the title as I wanted to see if any paranormal activity is there. That place is very creepy, its hunted the spirits are trapped there that's why you felt uneasy and someone is watching you. The mirrors have very bad energy stuck to them, I would have not stayed there for sure. Always listen to your gut feelings as its always on point. I had the similar feelings when I had a spirit in my flat where I had to move into. He didn't leave me alone, he even attacked me, I was never been so scared in my life as I was not believing in these things can physically hurt you also if its an aggressive one. I have been sensing spirit since my child hood which has rapidly developed recently. I am a medium. Long story cut, love your video, but I have to ask you is there anybody there with you as I saw a man's face with dark hair popped out his face from behind the window - I did freaked out a bit. You can see the man's face at time step 22:43 for two - seconds, you need to slow down the play back speed to 0.25 and you will be able to see clearly the man when you turn back to the windows his head shows up in the middle to the left window right after you move your hand away. Its a very beautiful place, but its filled with paranormal activity and not very nice energy stuck to it. You need to protect your self energetically or not to go to such a hunted place if its possible. I am just talking from my horrific experience with dark spirit. Keep safe and keep the amazing videos coming!

You scared the crap out of me When you did the little face behind the brick. Goodness! Lol

Music and night time elapsed filming was beautiful. Thank you.

that combo of the timelapse sky and the haunty-bird vocals was magic mate .. top drawer

Enjoyed the video and the step-by-step demonstration. The Music was phenomenal.. Thank you. Oliver, San Francisco, California
