"Here I am" creepy things kids say after being lost in the woods for almost a week

Us Native Americans were told many stories about going into the forest at night, our grandparents and elders around us always said that there are shadows and creatures that aren't of this world in the forest and to never follow them or hike at night, there is a reason we learned to make teepees in the open fields or an opening in the forest, as kids we never believed them and thought it was just a way to keep us inside but then realizing my uncle took his own life cause he was tired of those "shadows" following him and seeing them myself its all to real. Be careful in the forest if u choose to camp stay in your camp area and dont leave until daylight, biggest thing i learned is to just leave them alone even when they try hard to get your attention. Be safe out there everyone love you all

Moved to Arkansas a few years ago, and after getting comfortable enough I asked one of the old shopkeepers why the locals had such reverence or fear of the forests. He told me "Long before there were signs on every path and churches on every corner, folk lived prayed and died in these woods, and the woods remember. You look after the forest, the forest will look after you. You abuse the forest, and you'll feed the roots."

I recall hearing a story about a three year old boy who spent days in the woods lost with no warm clothes in below freezing temperatures at night. When he was found, he was physically, unharmed, hydrated, and not even scared. When they took him to the hospital, he told his grandma that a bear took care of him and kept him warm for the three days he was missing, and I completely believe him.

I had a history teacher who told stories the way MrBallen does, and I aced that class. Great storytelling.

Quiet child voice in the middle of the woods: "Here I am" Me as a searcher: nope nope nope. Not today, Satan. I've seen that horror movie before

I appreciate it the fact that you show real photos of the places in the stories when you can. So many storytelling channels just put in generic photos. It really takes your channel to the next level. Keep it up!

as someone who discovered this channel yesterday and began a massive binge of all of his videos, i really appreciate how mr. ballen adds conversions of feet and miles into metres and kilometres because i’m australian and i’m not familiar with feet and miles so it really helps to put things into perspective:)

In Brazil, a little indian girl got lost in the Amazon forest for 9 days. She was found in good shape and when people asked how she survived, she said a deer brought fruits for her and protected her. The deer is sacred for Brazilian indians.

imagine searching for a sweet, little girl in the woods and then you find Katherine coming out of a cave who looks like she smokes 4 packs a day

Linda: "Hey, you guys! I'm lost and need help!" Shadowy Forest People: "Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?! It's coming right for us! Quick, hide!" Linda: "What are you doing? I told you, I need help! I think my brother's hurt!" Shadowy Forest People: "Why is it screaming at us? Oh God, I'm so scared!"

My grandma is Katherine VanAlst, my daughter found your video and we just listened to it. Her father was not with her and her brothers when they went swimming. She did almost drown and after the lady pulled her out a man shook her to help get the water out. After that she decided to go back to the cabin and from there she got lost. She remembers seeing animals while she walked and then she stopped in what she calls a bluff until Mr Whitely and his crew found her. They called her name and she said she was on top of a hill when they saw her. They made a stretcher out of their shirts and carried her out and then she was taken to the hospital. Feel free respond back if you have any questions, she is still alive and doing well.

One time, I drove my car into a sand pit while trying to get out to a camping site deep in the Anza Borrego desert. I worked on getting it free in every way I could think of. This is a vast desert, and as far as I knew, there was not a person anywhere that I could approach for help. After some time had passed, I basically gave up, sat against the car for shade, and prayed a simple prayer, and somewhat sarcastically: "God, I'm told you have millions of angels that work for you. Could I borrow a few?" I was really just being cynical... But in just a few minutes, two men came toward me from the opposite direction I'd been traveling (from deeper into the desert). They were cheerful and made light of the situation, saying something like, "Got her stuck in the sand huh?" And they just walked straight to the back of the car, pushed it out on to hard road again, wished me a good trip, and they went back in the direction they'd come until I was alone again. So yeah... I believe in angels.

Planning an adventure: ✅ Pack food and water ✅ Stay the hell away from Arkansas

the 3rd story is that type of story that gives me chills... people staring and then running away when discovered... hidding when u approach... group up when u are sleep or not moving... that gives me the creeps! silhouette figures looking at you and not moving... bbbrrrrr

There is a mythical creature here in the Philippines that is said to stalk people alone in the woods and confuse their sense of direction so that they will get lost even more. The elderlies said you just have to wear your shirt inside out or in reverse or go shirtless. For some reason this works. This will make the creature so amused that it will smile so wide it will cover its eyes and you can escape the creature's spell or something and you will eventually go to the right direction and stop being lost.

General word of advice. Never go to ANY park named “Devils Den.”

As an Arkansas native, I can confirm that there's a lot of weird stuff that happens in the Ozarks and national forest. Our power was out one night, so I walked in the dark to check on the neighbors about a half mile down the road in a very rural area. As I walking back I could hear a voice in dense, thick woods repeating "I'm not crazy". Shined my light and no one was around. Later that night my wife woke me up asking why I was touching her feet. I told her I wasn't. We didn't sleep the rest of the night. Seen and heard a lot of odd things back home.

Stories like that last one really make me wonder if we aren't just SIMS in a game and other beings are just playing with us.
