hiking can be a great way to release your stress and anxiety from your everyday life.

But what happens when your way of decompressing turns into a nightmare situation?

Welcome back to the swamp, my friends. It's good to see you made it back for another episode. Today I'm going to be sharing

some creepy and allegedly true hiking horror stories. If you have a story that you would like to share

in a future video, be sure to submit your story at swampdweller.net or the email you can find in the description down below.

I'd love to share your story with everyone here in the swamp. It's stories like yours that

help keep this show going. Now, without further ado, let's get into these creepy and allegedly true hiking horror stories that'll freak you

out tonight. My name is Luke. No need to conceal identities here. Just want to share what happened.

This weekend on Saturday morning, 1 9 2021, I took a couple of my friends, and Austin out to my favorite campsite in the Mark Twain

Forest just outside the small town of Chadwick, Missouri.

I helped them set up camp and had a beer with them and then left just before

sundown. Sunday morning I came back to bring them a case of Budweiser and check in on them.

They were gone, cleaned up and looked as if they were never there.

Now I was glad they cleaned up and did not leave a mess, but I found it quite odd since they told me they

planned to rough it out there for a month or two to save up money and buy land.

I decided to grab a beer and take a hike as I had time to kill.

On this hike, I got about 45 yards west of the site and saw a shredded and mangle coyote covered

in blood.

I could tell there had been a struggle within about a 10-yard radius, and I know I have heard strange

things out here plenty of times as I spend almost every weekend out here at that site. I know these woods well, day and night.

I had also told Cody and Austin to keep their weapons close and their tent closed after they

go to bed because they might hear strange animals close by.
