True Scary Hiking Horror stories

in the Monongahela National Forest, a solo hiker thought he was alone — until a man with an axe appeared on the far side of a fallen tree and started chopping.

What followed was a night of terror in the Appalachian wilderness: strange carvings, a campsite that shouldn’t exist, and figures that all looked exactly the same.

Inspired by true Appalachian folklore and the missing hiker stories of West Virginia, this is one of the most chilling encounters ever told from the backwoods of America.
