And now it is time for Creepy Stories with Lettuce McGrims.
the part of the show where Lettuce McGrims reads a True Creepy story or a Creepypasta.
This episode is the first in a series of readings called "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer
for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell."
But First a message from headquarters: On my channel I tend to stay away from the
trending or repeated stories others have already read.
This is because I tend to skip stories in a que that I am listening to if I read a repeated
story no matter who is reading it.
However there are two stories I have been dying to do.
The stairs series is one of them.
The other being the odd little furbey thing that keeps telling the kid to kill himself.
That one is epic.
And now we return to the best monthly winner of 2015:
I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell
submitted by search-and-rescue-woods I wasn't sure where else to post these stories,
so I figured I'd share them here.
I've been an SAR officer for a few years now, and along the way I've seen some things that
I think you guys will be interested in.
I have a pretty good track record for finding missing people.
Most of the time they just wander off the path, or slip down a small cliff, and they
can't find their way back.
The majority of them have heard the old 'stay where you are' thing, and they don't wander
far.
But I've had two cases where that didn't happen.
Both bother me a lot, and I use them as motivation to search even harder on the missing persons
cases I get called on.
The first was a little boy who was out berry-picking with his parents.
He and his sister were together, and both of them went missing around the same time.
Their parents lost sight of them for a few seconds, and in that time both the kids apparently
wandered off.
When their parents couldn't find them, they called us, and we came out to search the area.
We found the daughter pretty quickly, and when we asked where her brother was, she told
us that he'd been taken away by 'the bear man.'
She said he gave her berries and told her to stay quiet, that he wanted to play with
her brother for a while.
The last she saw of her brother, he was riding on the shoulders of 'the bear man' and seemed
calm.
Of course, our first thought was abduction, but we never found a trace of another human
being in that area.
The little girl was also insistent that he wasn't a normal man, but that he was tall
and covered in hair, 'like a bear', and that he had a 'weird face.'
We searched that area for weeks, it was one of the longest calls I've ever been on, but
we never found a single trace of that kid.
The other was a young woman who was out hiking with her mom and grandpa.
According to the mother, her daughter had climbed up a tree to get a better view of
the forest, and she'd never come back down.
They waited at the base of the tree for hours, calling her name, before they called for help.
Again, we searched everywhere, and we never found a trace of her.
I have no idea where she could possibly have gone, because neither her mother or grandpa
saw her come down.
A few times, I've been out on my own searching with a canine, and they've tried to lead me
straight up cliffs.
Not hills, not even rock faces.
Straight, sheer cliffs with no possible handholds.
It's always baffling, and in those cases we usually find the person on the other side
of the cliff, or miles away from where the canine has led us.
I'm sure there's an explanation, but it's sort of strange.
One particularly sad case involved the recovery of a body.
A nine-year-old girl fell down an embankment and got impaled on a dead tree at the base.
It was a complete freak accident, but I'll never forget the sound her mother made when
we told her what had happened.
She saw the body bag being loaded into the ambulance, and she let out the most haunting,
heart-broken wail I've ever heard.
It was like her whole life was crashing down around her, and a part of her had died with
her daughter.
I heard from another SAR officer that she killed herself a few weeks after it happened.
She couldn't live with the loss of her daughter.
I was teamed up with another SAR officer because we'd received reports of bears in the area.
We were looking for a guy who hadn't come home from a climbing trip when he was supposed
to, and we ended up having to do some serious climbing to get to where we figured he'd be.
We found him trapped in a small crevasse with a broken leg.
It was not pleasant.
He'd been there for almost two days, and his leg was very obviously infected.
We were able to get him into a chopper, and I heard from one of the EMTs that the guy
was absolutely inconsolable.
He kept talking about how he'd been doing fine, and when he'd gotten to the top, a man
had been there.
He said the guy had no climbing equipment, and he was wearing a parka and ski pants.
He walked up to the guy, and when the guy turned around, he said he had no face.
It was just blank.
He freaked out, and ended up trying to get off the mountain too fast, which is why he'd
fallen.
He said he could hear the guy all night, climbing down the mountain and letting out these horrible
muffled screams.
That story bothered the hell out of me.
I'm glad I wasn't there to hear it.
One of the scariest things I've ever had happen to me involved the search for a young woman
who'd gotten separated from her hiking group.
We were out until late at night, because the dogs had picked up her scent.
When we found her, she was curled up under a large rotted log.
She was missing her shoes and pack, and she was clearly in shock.
She didn't have any injuries, and we were able to get her to walk with us back to base
ops.
Along the way, she kept looking behind us and asking us why 'that big man with black
eyes' was following us.
We couldn't see anyone, so we just wrote it off as some weird symptom of shock.
But the closer we got to base, the more agitated this woman got.
She kept asking me to tell him to stop 'making faces' at her.
At one point she stopped and turned around and started yelling into the forest, saying
that she wanted him to leave her alone.
She wasn't going to go with him, she said, and she wouldn't give us to him.
We finally got her to keep moving, but we started hearing these weird noises coming
from all around us.
It was almost like coughing, but more rhythmic and deeper.
It was almost insect-like, I don't really know how else to describe it.
When we were within site of base ops, the woman turns to me, and her eyes are about
as wide as I can imagine a human could open them.
She touches my shoulder and says 'He says to tell you to speed up.
He doesn't like looking at the scar on your neck.'
I have a very small scar on the base of my neck, but it's mostly hidden under my collar,
and I have no idea how this woman saw it.
Right after she says it, I hear that weird coughing right in my ear, and I just about
jumped out of my skin.
I hustled her to ops, trying not to show how freaked out I was, but I have to say I was
really happy when we left the area that night.
This is the last one I'll tell, and it's probably the weirdest story I have.
Now, I don't know if this is true in every SAR unit, but in mine, it's sort of an unspoken,
regular thing we run into.
You can try asking about it with other SAR officers, but even if they know what you're
talking about, they probably won't say anything about it.
We've been told not to talk about it by our superiors, and at this point we've all gotten
so used to it that it doesn't even seem weird anymore.
On just about every case where we're really far into the wilderness, I'm talking 30 or
40 miles, at some point we'll find a staircase in the middle of the woods.
It's almost like if you took the stairs in your house, cut them out, and put them in
the forest.
I asked about it the first time I saw some, and the other officer just told me not to
worry about it, that it was "normal."
Everyone I asked said the same thing.
I wanted to go check them out, but I was told, very emphatically, that I should never go
near any of them.
I just sort of ignore them now when I run into them because it happens so frequently.
I have a lot more stories, and I suppose if anyone's interested, I'll tell some of them
tomorrow.
If anyone has any theories about the stairs, or if you've seen them too, let me know.
So I logged back on tonight and was blown away by the staggering amount of interest
this seems to have generated.
First off, I'll address a few things that you guys have brought up:
• There's been an overwhelming amount of people mentioning the similarity between some
of my stories and those of David Paulides.
I assure you I'm not trying to rip him off in any way, I've got nothing but respect for
the guy.
He's actually what inspired me to write this, because I can verify a lot of the things he
talks about.
• We do have a lot of these strange missing persons cases, and most of the time they aren't
solved.
Either that, or we find them in places they have no business being.
I personally haven't been on many calls like that, but I'll share a few that I've seen,
and a story my friend told me that relates to this.
• There was a lot of feedback about the stairs, so I'll touch on that briefly here,
and I'll also include a story.
• They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and conditions.
• Some are pretty dilapidated, just ruins, but others are brand new.
• I saw one set that looked like they came from a lighthouse: they were metal and spiral,
almost old-fashioned.
The stairs don't go up infinitely, or farther than I can see, but some sets are taller than
others.
• Like I said before, just imagine the stairs in your house, as if someone cut-and-pasted
them in the middle of nowhere.
• I don't have any pictures, it's never really occurred to me to try again after the
first time, and I don't really feel like risking my job over it.
I'll try again in the future, but I can't really promise anything.
• A few people expressed confusion about the guy who ran into the man with no face.
Just to clarify, • when the climber ascended and reached
the top of this peak, • he saw another man in a parka and ski
pants.
• This was the man with no face.
• Sorry about the confusing wording of that story, I'll try to avoid that in the future.
Alright, on to the new stories: • As far as missing persons go, I'd say
about half the calls I get are related to that.
The others are rescue calls; people who fall down cliffs and hurt themselves, get injured
by fire (you wouldn't believe how often this happens, mostly drunk kids), get bitten or
stung by animals or insects.
• We're a tight team, and we have veterans who are excellent at finding signs of lost
people.
That's what makes these cases where we never find any trace of them so frustrating.
• One in particular was upsetting for all of us, because we did find a trace of them,
• but it just led to more questions than answers.
• • An older man had been hiking alone on
a well-established trail, but his wife called to say that he hadn't come home when he should
have.
• Apparently he had a history of seizures, and she was worried that he hadn't taken his
medication and had suffered one out on the trail.
Before you ask, I have no idea why he thought it was okay to go out alone, or why she didn't
go with him.
I don't ask about that kind of thing because past a certain point, it really doesn't matter.
Someone is missing, and it's my job to find them.
• We went out in a standard search formation, and it wasn't long before one of our vets
found signs that the guy had gone off the trail.
• We grouped up and followed him, spreading out in a fan to make sure we were covering
as much ground as possible.
• Suddenly, a call comes over the radio telling us to all head back to the vets location,
and we come right away, because this usually means the missing person is injured, and we
need a full team to help get them out safely.
• We meet back up, and the vet is just standing at the base of a tree with his hands on the
sides of his head.
I ask my buddy what's going on, and he points up into the branches of this tree.
• I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing, • but there's a walking stick
• dangling • from a branch
• at least thirty feet • off the ground.
• The little strap thing on the handle has been looped around the branch, and it's just
hanging there.
• There's no way the guy could have tossed it up that far,
• and we don't see any other signs that he's still in the area.
• We call up into the tree, but it's obvious no one's in it.
• We're all just sort of left scratching our heads.
• We keep searching for the guy, but we never find him.
We even bring our canines out, but they lose his scent long before this tree.
• Eventually, the search is called off, because there are other calls we have to attend
to, and past a certain point there's not much we can do.
• The guy's wife called us • every day
• for months, • asking if we'd found her husband,
• and it was heartbreaking • to hear her get more and more hopeless
each time.
• I'm not sure why this call in particular was so upsetting, but I think it was just
the sheer improbability of it.
That and the questions that were raised.
• How the hell had this guy's cane ended up there?
• Did someone kill him and toss that up there as some weird trophy?
• We did our best to find him, but it was almost like a taunt.
We still talk about that one from time to time.
• Missing kids are the most heart-breaking.
Doesn't matter what circumstances they go missing under, it's never easy, and we always,
always dread the ones we find deceased.
It's not common, • but it does happen.
• • David Paulides talks a lot about kids
SAR teams find in places they shouldn't be, or couldn't be.
I can honestly say I've heard about this kind of thing happening more than I've seen it,
but I'll share one of the ones that I think about a lot that I witnessed personally.
• • A mother and her three kids were out for
a picnic in an area of the park that has a small lake.
• One is six, • one is five,
• and the other is about three.
• She's watching them all really closely, and according to her, she never lets them
out of her sight at any time.
• She never saw anyone else in the area either, which is important.
• She packs their stuff up and they start to head back to the parking area.
• Now, this lake is only about two miles into the woods, and it's on a very clearly
established trail.
• It's almost impossible to get lost getting from the parking area to it, unless you're
deliberately • going off the path like an imbecile.
• Her kids are walking in front of her, when she hears what sounds like someone coming
up the path behind her.
• She turns around, and in the four or so seconds she's not looking,
• her five-year-old son vanishes.
• She figures he's stepped off the trail to pee or something, and she asks her other
two where he went.
• They both tell her that 'a big man with a scary face' came out of the woods next to
them, took the kid's hand, and led him into the trees.
• The two remaining kids don't seem upset, in fact she says later that it seems like
they've been drugged.
They're sort of spacey and fuzzy.
• So of course, she freaks out, starts looking frantically in the area for her kid.
She's screaming his name, and she says at one point she thinks she heard him answer
her.
• Now obviously she can't go blindly running into the woods, she's got the other two kids,
so she calls the police and they send us out immediately.
• We respond, and we start the search for him.
• Over the course of this search, which spans miles,
• we never find a single trace of the kid.
• Canines can't pick up any scent, we don't find any clothing or broken bushes or literally
anything that would signify a child being there.
• Of course there's suspicion about the mother for a while, but it's pretty clear
that she's completely destroyed by the whole thing.
• We looked for this kid for weeks, with a lot of volunteer help.
• But eventually, the search peters out, and we have to move on.
• The volunteers keep searching, though, and one day we get a call on the radio letting
us that a body has been found and needs to be recovered.
• They tell us the location, • and none of us can believe it.
• We figure it has to be a different kid.
• But we go out there, about 15 miles from the site where he vanished,
• and sure enough, we find the body of the kid we've been looking for.
• I have been trying to figure out how this kid got where he did ever since we found him,
and I've never come up with an answer.
• A volunteer just happened to be in the area, because he figured he might as well
look in places no one else would think to on the off chance the body had been dumped.
• He comes to the base of a tall, rocky slope, and half-way up, he sees something.
He looks through his binoculars and sure enough, it's the body of a little boy, stuffed in
a little opening in the rock.
• He recognizes the color of the kid's shirt, so he knows right away that it's the missing
boy.
That's when he calls it in, and we're dispatched.
It took us almost an hour to get his body down, and none of us could believe what we
were seeing.
Not only was this kid 15 miles from where he'd started, there was no possible way he
could have gotten up there on his own.
• This slope is treacherous, • and it's hard even for us with our climbing
gear.
• A five-year-old boy had no way of getting up there, of that I'm certain.
Not only that, but the kid doesn't have a scratch on him.
• His shoes are gone, • but his feet aren't damaged or dirty.
• So it wasn't as if an animal dragged him up there.
