Our Most Terrifying Night Ever — Something Evil Appeared While We Were Filming

Jake and Alex had heard the legends about the Screaming Woods in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Locals whispered about shadowy figures towering 14 feet tall, ear-piercing screams that drove teens to their knees, and disappearances that went unsolved. Skeptical but intrigued, the two YouTubers decided to spend a night filming in a remote cabin on the forest’s edge. Jake, the self-proclaimed “guy who screams like a girl,” and Alex, his more composed partner, packed their gear for what they hoped would be viral content.

They arrived at dusk, the wind howling through the trees. As they unpacked, a shrill shriek echoed from the woods. “What the hell was that?” Jake muttered, his heart racing. Alex shrugged it off as wind, but the atmosphere felt charged. They set up camp near a picnic table, deciding to explore the “screaming forest” after dark. Jake joked about the teens who ignored warnings and got more than they bargained for, but deep down, he felt uneasy.

Venturing into the woods, they followed fresh footprints in the snow—some human-sized, others massive. “These look like they belong to a 14-foot being,” Alex quipped, but Jake wasn’t laughing. They heard growls, whispers, and a girl’s voice calling “Violet.” Using a spirit box, they got responses: “Violet,” “I’m touching your hand,” and “A woman here.” Footsteps crunched nearby, and they spotted a shadowy figure. Panicking, they retreated to the cabin.

Inside, things escalated. Jake filmed alone while Alex scouted. Thumps, footsteps upstairs, and voices like “Be wary of him” and “Twins” filled the air. The spirit box spat out “Shadow figure” and “Children’s spirits.” Jake screamed as something shook the house, and they saw a tiny handprint on a mirror. Outside, they heard demonic growls and saw flashes of movement.

They tried sleeping, setting up cameras. But knocks on the door woke them—both locks undone despite Alex swearing he secured them. Footsteps outside, a car driving by inexplicably, and the motion light activating without cause. Jake felt something touch his foot, and a chair toppled over. “We’re not alone,” Alex whispered.

Deciding to leave, they packed up, convinced something—or someone—was stalking them. The Screaming Woods had lived up to its name, delivering terror that blurred the line between paranormal and human threats. They sped away, vowing never to return, their footage capturing what they hoped was just the wind… or something far worse.
