My Camping Horror Stories NO.1
When my cousin Cody and I were in our early 20s. we went on a handful of camping trips around Colorado. This camping horror stories happened I believe when I was 22 and he was 23, and it happened in (urrao) Forest. it was my first time camping there not Cody’s though. it was in the middle of the week. Our jobs allowed us to have off days in the middle of the week, and we’d often go in our camp outs then to avoid traffic and crowds. I always let Cody take charge on these trips, he’s the eagle scout not me. We parked by a picnic area and we set foot into the woods from there.
After about 15 minutes of hiking deeper into the woods, We found a good spot to set up camp, a good spot meaning a big enough clearing to fit two tents the portable stove and a campfire. the first thing we did was unpack our stuff and set up our tents. “Cody” has always been a lot quicker than me in pitching the tent. he does it in only a few minutes, but it always takes me over 20 minutes, or rather it always took me over 20 minutes. as I haven’t been camping out in the wilderness since this the next thing we did was create a ring of stones for a fire. then gathered some sticks and wood.
He did bring some fire starter and a lighter so I guess we kind of cheated but oh well. It was at the point in the day when the sun was going down, we had a fire going and now Cody was ring up some steak and burgers. one thing about Cody is he always went all out with the food on these trips. And he’s a really good cook so I always trusted him with feeding us. Of course we had our bear spray in case the smell of the food would attract a black bear which Cody always said was very unlikely.
He always says the real thing you got to worry about in the middle of the woods is other people. as we ate our steak and burgers we cracked open some beers and had some classic rock playing on the speaker. If you’ve never been camping you don’t understand how good of a Vibe moments like this are, in the wilderness with a friend or family member and some beers reminiscing about good times and vibing to music. As it got dark we started playing card games on this little folding platform table we brought specifically for cards. After playing more traditional card games we started playing Uno. and this was when we heard something out in the woods.
I paused the song on my phone so that the speaker would go silent. it was clear now we heard a person humming and foot Steps From Beyond the trees in the pitch Blackness of the forest. Cody urged me to find the flashlight I tried but by the time I found it the sounds had faded away. I asked Cody if that was something to be concerned about and he said it definitely was unusual for someone else to be this deep in the woods let alone creepily walking by a campsite with an act of campfire humming loudly.
I was a bit shaken and I saw Cody was too, we went back to playing cards with the music much lower now. when when we least expected it a big stick Landing in the middle of our campsite made us both jump out of our skin. it didn’t fall from a tree this thing was thrown at us by someone. Cody started yelling something along the lines of whoever’s out there messing with us get a life and fuc*k off and then footsteps could be heard once again in the distance, they were walking away from us. I said we should pack up camp and move somewhere else he said absolutely not in the dark.
We both had be spray and he advised to just keep it next to me in my tent when we go to sleep. it was the closest thing to range self-defense weapons we had. we kept hearing sounds like tree branches cracking in the distance, sounds that you would never expect an animal to be making. someone was out there, maybe multiple people that much was clear we had to go to sleep eventually so we agreed that maybe we should take turns staying up to keep watch to make sure that no one comes to our campsite and steals anything or worse. Cody agreed to take First Watch he said he’d stay up and read his book, so I crawled into my tent and then my sleeping bag and went to sleep.
Waking up in the middle of the night while camping is normal you’re in a cold outdoor environment and an uncomfortable sleeping bag, any number of things could wake you up I didn’t yet know what woke me up I was still in a fog my brain didn’t feel fully woken up yet. I looked up and saw a head peering into my tent. it looked like Cody I rubbed my eyes but really it was the darkness that was preventing me from seeing anything of his face. I said, “Cody”. thinking he was waking me up to take my turn of keeping watch. I said groggy is it my turn I stared at the head peering at me in my sleeping bag slowly growing more awake every second, then I heard the zipper to the tent quickly zip up and his head disappeared.
I laid back down in my sleeping bag but only for a second, I suddenly had some weird Moment of clarity where I shot to an upright position and listened as the footsteps walked away. “Cody” I said. he didn’t answer, I unzipped my tent to peek out to the campsite. the fire was dead Cody wasn’t out there. I went over to Cody’s tent which was zipped up. I unzipped it and looked inside to see Cody fast asleep in his sleeping bag. I got chills Goosebumps whatever you want to call it I almost shi*t myself at the realization. I started shaking him awake and when he finally awoke. I told him someone’s here at the campsite. it took him a minute to come back to reality just like I did, but when he did, he grabbed his bear spray.
He said he must have dozed off while reading. he said I should sleep in the tent with him tonight but to do that I’d need my sleeping bag. he came outside of the tent with me and stood watch as I ran to my tent to grab my sleeping bag. in my tent grabbing my sleeping bag I heard that godamn humming again from outside. I grabbed it and Cody whispered at me to hurry up. I said you hear that too, he said “yes”. we both got back in his tent and zipped it up with our cans of bear spray by our sides. I tell you in those moments I wanted nothing more than for a bear to come and save the day. the hours dragged on as I stayed up while Cody slept. after three long horrible hours, I woke him up and we switched. When Cody woke me up it was almost Dawn there was light outside, so we packed everything up and by the time we were done there was plenty of light to hike back to the car. while we could have driven somewhere else and had another night of camping elsewhere neither of us were feeling it anymore. this was a haunting experience and I think we both just wanted to be in the safety of our houses. it’s been 6 years since this happened and he’s hit me up a few times since then about camping, but I haven’t really had interest since this experience. people are just too scary why was someone out there stalking our campsite in the sight of that person’s head in the dark just looking into my tent. it was straight up from a nightmare. I may never go camping again honestly.
