About this episode

The episode discusses creepy forest encounters shared on Reddit, highlighting the dangers posed by humans in the woods.

We’re sharing Reddit's creepiest "Not a Ranger, But..." forest encounters. These search-and-rescue stories prove that humans—not monsters—are the woods' true terror. Anyone surprised? (Not us.) We cover bowhunters stumbling on meth labs disguised as campsites, kids vanishing mid-hunt only to reappear mud-soaked with zero memory, and rangers chasing "wolves" that lead to hidden bodies.​ We laugh-cry through trail cam blunders, time-loss blackouts, and "fuzzy figures" haunting family hikes. This episode hammers home why we never stray off-trail without backup.​ “That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.” Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled . Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor. 📲 Instagram: @campingiscanceled 📲 TikTok: @campingiscanceled 📧 Contact: campingiscanceled@gmail.com 🎧 Listen now — everywhere you get your podcasts.
