Hi there. I'm Samantha, Sam, and I was a park ranger for six years.

I won't specify where because I don't want to get in trouble.

One of the people I worked with told me to read the other park ranger stories on here,

so I thought I'd give it a shot.

And hell, it's good to see someone being honest.

It inspired me to share some of my own stories.

People need to know what happens in the woods.

I quit my job a couple of years ago.

I couldn't deal with bottling up all the things I've seen.

Nobody wants to talk about them, but I feel like I'm drowning in the memories of it all.

So, I'm going to share them. I don't know if I'll be

able to share everything. It might be too hard, but I'll give it a go. I hope this raises

some awareness of the true dangers of the woods and makes people consider their safety.

I don't want people to think I'm copying someone or making these things up. I'm just sharing my stories and experiences.

Let's get into it.

This was my first weird experience as a junior ranger.

To this day, I still don't know what I saw, but I know it wasn't friendly.

I had just received a call about screams coming from deeper in the forest, off one of the more popular trails.

This wasn't unusual. If you've heard a mountain lion, you know it can sound like a woman screaming.
