The number of paranormal youtubers who cannot recognize a mountain lion cry and conclude there is a rash of screaming ghosts is very funny.

Add in foxes, rabbits and basically every small forest animal too. So much ghost and cryptid stuff is ruined if you have any knowledge of the woods.

There was one regular show called Blind Frog Ranch that just fell apart for me when they started freaking out about finding a headless deer body on their property. And it's like, yeah, that's not uncommon for a lot of predators and you live way in the middle of loving nowhere so...probably that rather than interdimensional aliens mercing some deer.

Or every bigfoot related thing that's just people freaking out about woods noises (not counting the faked ones).

i appreciate the people talking about missing 411 like there's some secret alien bigfoot conspiracy when all the "signs" are basically "THE MISSING PERSON DROWNED OR FELL OFF A CLIFF YOU DOOFUS"

But they searched the area! And searches never miss bodies, I shout as I do no research on searches or hypothermia behavior. Which is a shame since a lot of park stuff can be creepy or suspicious, but it's always got to be a big conspiracy.

Podcasts and not YouTube, but I was really disappointed that the normally great Casefile podcast was tied in with a Spotify exclusive thing called the Labyrinth. Which was about a woman going missing at a camp site and they basically just insisted that her family had killed her with no evidence. And plenty of evidence that she just wandered off, slipped and fell to her death. The whole thing hinged on "but her mother said she was only out of her sight for a minute, and how far can someone walk in a minute!"

I occasionally like to watch John Wolfe's stuff, since that's about the only game in town for horror games where the person isn't screaming their head off. I second-screened a long Twitch VoD that was him reacting and debunking one of those Top 20 Scariest Videos That Prove Ghosts Are Real! It was kind of painful to see something like 20 million views on a YouTuber just gathering up the laziest and most obvious hoax videos and putting them into a compilation with filler commentary. And how many people thought they were real.

You want to write a hosed up video about a creepy campsite thing, talk about the Girl Scout killer. Now that's hosed up and scary.

I liked Barely Sociable's videos but they made a full conspiracy theory mode video about the music industry killing off artists with overdoses including Prince and Michael Jackson. It wouldn't surprise me if it happened at one point, but the dude was acting if it was a widespread and common thing. The main evidence they provided was a possible motive.

It was supposed to be a multi-part series, but they must have gotten pushback because they haven't uploaded any more videos.

Haha I'm going to have to watch that one now to see what it's like. I haven't paid attention to his most recent few videos because I tend to take breaks after watching him starts poisoning my youtube video recs. Sucks touching anything spooky or true crime related is an immediate crap funnel.

Being as yokels are *from* the countryside, presumably very few. Unless they were very drunk.

However, "hosed up monster because a crow or raven decided to be funny" is a higher number. Especially those forests where ravens have gotten pretty good a mimicing human voices, and randomly chant "hello!" in different voices.

This did remind me of my favorite wild theory that actually the Missing 411 are because Great Horned Owls are just loving people up left and right but they're smart enough to only hunt solitary hikers so we don't know how aggressive they are.

I can remember at least one article debunking cryptid stories that was "be drunk in mid 20th century Kentucky(?) and look at an owl".

Seanbaby’s podcast has a decent amount of episodes on Bigfoot hunting shows, and it’s kind of funny how many of the people on them claim to either personally lost a fight with Bigfoot, or have had a family member killed by Bigfoot.

And how there are wars between the Bigfoot shows

Danger Nessie shares an environment with Bigfoot, Dogman, and Mothman. Meaning it is a North American cryptid, and thus actually a Champ.
