This is What Happens When You Step on the Stairs in the Woods scary story part 2

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.679
And we're gonna die back into the
story here. Luke's gonna pick things back

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.039
up. Luke, are you ready
we get this lady up? We started

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.359
talking walking her back. Sam and
I are a little bit ahead of the

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.839
three others that had found her.
As we were walking back, she's just

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.879
rambling to herself in a really light
voice, saying, it said this,

6
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.440
It said that. People who were
what her were just trying to console her.

7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.000
They were saying, hey, it's
gonna be okay. Your son's at

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:39.520
the campsite a really light voice,
she says, son. Everybody's being very

9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.159
gentle with her. She's been through
a while, so nobody's saying, oh,

10
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.039
she's a number of her son is. At this point, the lady

11
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.880
doesn't even know her own name her
Her eyes are absolutely deranged. One other

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.399
group says, yes, yes,
your son. She just stares and says,

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.079
what's his name? Oh, your
son? His name is Nick.

14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.320
He's just giving her the answers that
she needs used to get back to reality.

15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.680
She's so he's doing a great job
consoling her. As we're walking back,

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.920
the guilt of me is rising,
and all I can think about is

17
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.079
how much I want to apologize to
this park ranger being kind of disrespectful.

18
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.959
Earlier, I was brushing him off
about everything he said would happened. It's

19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.319
a long walk. I have a
lot of time to think about what I'm

20
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.159
going to say to them. Right
when I see him, he sees the

21
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.239
woman, and I swear to God, this man exhales for the first size

22
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.319
as I met him. He is
so relieved that she's alive. I walked

23
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.480
right up to him. I just
started apologizing to m I fully believe him.

24
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.560
I'm sorry I did this. That's
what I can do to help.

25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.040
He just kind of apologized for being
hard on me. As he's walking away,

26
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.159
he says, I just needed you
to know how serious this situation is.

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.120
Sorry for taking out you. I
just hate finding dead kids. That

28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.200
hit me like a bomb because he
knew something horrible was going to happen.

29
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.760
He didn't know if it was going
to be an Atam or kid. He

30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.640
said it as if it's happened before, and that he's had to find kids

31
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.319
like that, and the idea of
finding a kid in the same state that

32
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.680
she's in was absolutely heartbreaking. So
at this point, we're trying to get

33
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.360
this lady better before her kid comes
back from the excursion that they all went

34
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.360
on. We clean her up,
get her food and water, and get

35
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.439
her some new clothes, trying to
get her back to normal so the kid

36
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.520
doesn't come back and see his mom
and this horror will stay. Afterwards,

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.919
we're just sitting around the campsite.
She's all cleaned up and looking a bit

38
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.680
better. She's just sitting there at
her hands folding her lap and her knees

39
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:45.199
touching each other, just sitting very
delicately. She kind of just looking around,

40
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.120
still very spacey. She's not talking
to anybody. She's just mumbling to

41
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.199
herself a little bit. But she
seems a little bit more put together,

42
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.639
a little bit more calm. She's
pretty happy that she's back at the campsite.

43
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.840
As the kids are coming back,
the entire group is kind of expecting

44
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.280
this big reunion moment. Everyone's expecting
a warm embrace. We're all happy,

45
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.159
everything's okay. And when the kids
come back, the son walked up at

46
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.039
the end of the campsite and everybody's
looking at her, and everybody kind of

47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.599
goes silent for this embrace. She
looks up and she kind of sees that

48
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.719
everybody's looking at her. It's almost
like she took it as a que and

49
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:28.120
she scans the kids and says,
nick, just really gently. We looked

50
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.560
at the kid, and the kid's
scowling at his mom like he's looking at

51
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.919
a stranger that he doesn't like.
He gestures kind of like a shrug,

52
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.599
and then she stops scanning kids and
she locks in on him. She almost

53
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.520
stands up like a machine, just
very robotically, no waste of movements,

54
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.680
and she lifts her hands slightly after
she's inviting him to come give her a

55
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.080
hug instead of coming to give him
her coming to give him a hug.

56
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.639
The kids starts backing up, he
starts crying. She says, that's not

57
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.039
my mom anymore, and what my
dad runs off. Now I look around

58
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.360
the group. It feels so awkward
and tense. Almost didn't unfold how we're

59
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.160
expecting, and everybody has this kind
of sadness on their face. Then I

60
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.720
look and I see the park rangers
face and he's looking at the woman like

61
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.360
this his world is being tore apart. He's more anxious that seeing this entire

62
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.639
time, and the woman of the
campsite immediately go up to the mom,

63
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.480
trying to console tell her that the
kids react to trauma in different ways.

64
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.879
He'll get over it and it's gonna
be okay. Her face is expressionless,

65
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.639
as if she's not even hearing these
women and just looking right past them,

66
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.560
and her eyes are just falling the
kid. Everyone else in the campsite starts

67
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:55.600
dispersing because it's a very tense moment, except for the park ranger. I

68
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.399
see him talking to the camp guide. I seek behind the east drop a

69
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.920
little bit see what he's saying,
and he's telling the camp guy to tell

70
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.240
call the father, telling them come
pick them both up tomorrow. I can

71
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.560
kind of tell that camp guy is
not in the know because the way he's

72
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.319
saying it tom he's saying she doesn't
seem to fit to drive. He's talking

73
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.600
as if he's not aware of the
gravityest situation. The camp guide says yes

74
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.519
and walks off. I'm still standing
behind him, and he just sparks out

75
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.399
come here. That's one of those
moments when you're like when you're sitting in

76
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.480
the back of class messing around and
your teacher's writing on the white board and

77
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.920
they call out your name without even
looking at you, sent chills out my

78
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:43.240
spine. I just immediately walk up
to the ranger and say, what do

79
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.639
you want me to do. I'm
in full soldier mote at this point in

80
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.519
time, because this is my fault. I want to help. I want

81
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.199
to fix things. He starts speaking
to me very firmly. His eyes are

82
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.360
completely locked in on the mom.
He's not even looking at me. He

83
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.600
then says, all keep eyes on
her. You take care of the kid.

84
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.040
The father can't get here until tomorrow. By no means does she interact

85
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.360
with this kid until he gets here. Do you understand me? He doesn't

86
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.279
want to lie to this kid.
He has to entertain him. Mind you,

87
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.240
He's been working with kids forever.
So then he says, at this

88
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.920
point, I know that I had
to build up a comfortable relationship with the

89
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.439
kid, which I wasn't worried about. When I get to Nick, he's

90
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:25.279
playing bags with himself off to the
side. I just walk up and I

91
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.879
say, best two out of three. I start cracking jokes. It's easy

92
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.600
to make kids laugh, it's easy
to make kids forget what's going on.

93
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.920
We're having a pretty good time until
one of the other kids walks up and

94
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.079
put both of his hands over his
face. Are you gonna cry again and

95
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.319
starts laughing and runs off. I
look at Nick and I ask what was

96
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.639
that about. Nick says, I
told him who my mom left with last

97
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.720
night. I asked, who did
your mom leave with last night? He

98
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.519
told me he saw her holding hands
with a man as she walked into the

99
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.759
forest last night. What did he
look like? And Nick just holds up

100
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.839
his thumbs and rubs it. Says, his face looked like I have no

101
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.199
clue what that means. So I
immediately start asking follow up questions what color

102
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.240
was his skin and what was he
wearing? And Nick just goes he was

103
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.439
completely pale. I said, did
he have any distinguishing facial features like his

104
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.360
eyebrows with the bushy, bright eyes, big nose, anything like that.

105
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.399
He told me he didn't have any
of those at all, no features at

106
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.120
all. I'm thinking, apparently there's
some weirdo walking around in a mask drawing

107
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.079
women in the woods in the middle
of the night. Inside, I'm freaking

108
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.040
out, but I don't want to. I don't want Nick to see that,

109
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.759
so I start reassuring him, letting
him know that he's safe and we're

110
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.600
not going to let that man hurt
you. He's not coming back. I

111
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.360
want to keep distracting him and giving
him a fun time, but I need

112
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.199
to go report this back to Sam. So I make an excuse to go

113
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.000
back to the tent. I give
Sam a nods signaling we need to talk.

114
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.480
The second the tent zips closed and
I'm about to start speaking about everything,

115
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.600
all this new information I just learned
about, Sam cuts me off.

116
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.839
I go, I have so much
to tell you, he said me.

117
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.600
First, he has a guilty look
on his face and says to me,

118
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.560
I've been spying on her. And
I know this is gonna sound weird,

119
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.959
really weird, but I was in
the group with her, and you know

120
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.920
when people are in a group in
that moment when everybody starts laughing and then

121
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.199
one person is left laughing when everybody
else is stopped, Well, that happened.

122
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.000
She was a last one laughing,
and I looked at her, and

123
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.720
for a split second, she was
still laughing, but her mouth was closed

124
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.079
and she wasn't moving at all.
Nobody else saw it but me, and

125
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.840
it irked me so bad. I
haven't been able to stop watching this woman

126
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.440
or leaf make sure she's not been
left alone with the rest of the day,

127
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.879
I've been spying on her the entire
time. I'll be honest. I

128
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.799
wasn't fully sold on this idea,
so I asked, Okay, like Sam,

129
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.840
what has she been doing? He
replied, when there's nobody around her,

130
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.879
she sits motionless, motionless, and
I'm not talking about relaxing. I'm

131
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.679
talking about this woman is not moving
at all. I said, what do

132
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.559
you mean if nobody's around, you've
been following her around. He then holds

133
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.879
up a pair of binoculars, and
I could tell he was a little proud

134
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.240
to show me of the commitment he
had to do the spy work. And

135
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.240
then he says, I've been watching
her with these. I watched her for

136
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.120
thirty minutes straight. She did not
move, she did not blink, she

137
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.720
was not breathing. She looked like
an empty vessel. And then when somebody

138
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.399
walks near her, she starts blinking. Then she forces out a weird smile.

139
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.879
She starts looking around as if she's
taking in nature, and then she

140
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.080
starts fake breathing. Imagine a mime
pretending to pretending like he's breathing and then

141
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.600
holding back saying anything more. So
I told him, bro, just spit

142
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.159
it out. I can tell you
have something more to say. As he

143
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.639
went quiet, he explained, you
know, you know how she was saying,

144
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.320
it's telling her to do this,
it's telling her to do that.

145
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.480
I don't think it's it telling her
to do anything. I think she is

146
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.519
the it. I don't even get
a feeling Sam about all the smooth faced

147
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.759
man stuff that Nick had told me
before. He says, we got to

148
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.440
tell the ranger right now. I
got up and followed. We walked up

149
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.679
to the ranger and Sam just starts
pouring his heart out about all the evidence

150
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.000
that he's found throughout the day,
and the ranger was listening, patiently,

151
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.000
nodding, and then right when Sam
finished, the ranger says, don't worry,

152
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.399
boys, we're on the same page. There's no chance I'm letting that

153
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.000
thing leave my park. There's no
way I'm letting that thing leave my park.

154
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.799
I'm thinking, did you just say
that thing she possessed? The ranger

155
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.200
goes on, you guys have no
idea how lucky we are that the kid

156
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.480
doesn't trust her. It is critical, absolutely critical. We do not let

157
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.679
it get out of the park.
And the only way you can get out

158
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.840
of the park is if it manipulates
a loved one to escort it out of

159
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.480
the park. We have to keep
Nick away from her. We have to

160
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.320
keep them completely separated until the dad
gets here tomorrow morning. I already told

161
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.000
the camp guide to send all the
kids paddle boating for the remainder of the

162
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.639
day, so it has no chance
of talking to him. For the rest

163
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.320
of the day. You need to
monitor her, and then when that kid

164
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.480
gets back before the sun goes down, you need to get him to his

165
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.679
tent immediately. This is what we
gotta do. We'll be home for you

166
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.000
once the father gets here tomorrow morning. So before I even get to really

167
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.720
digest any of this new information that's
just been sent my way, me and

168
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.200
Sam hustle back to the common area
just to keep an eye on her to

169
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.679
make sure she's not running off.
When we get back there, we see

170
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.879
she's not dormant anymore. She's a
little bit more active today, and she's

171
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.960
walking around the campsite asking different group
of campers they've seen her son. All

172
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.440
the campers are still being nice and
gentle with her because they kind of know

173
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.600
what's happened. They're just telling her
all the kids went pattle voating it's fine,

174
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.519
they'll be back later. But by
the third time of her asking each

175
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.519
group, you could tell, you
could tell and kind of see that the

176
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.480
campers were getting a little bit annoyed
to frustrated with her. She goes back

177
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.159
up to this one group to ask
them for the fourth or fifth time,

178
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.200
and one burly country looking dude kind
of blurts out, kind of in a

179
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.879
jokingly manner, that dad getting here
tomorrow won't come soon? Am I right?

180
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.480
Then his wife or girlfriend hits him
on the shoulder and told it sorry,

181
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.240
he's being rude, honey, be
patient. The morning will come very

182
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.440
quickly. Then it starts repeating what
the lady said as if it was taken

183
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.480
in new information and formulating a new
question to ask. He repeats itself three

184
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.879
times, my husband's going to be
here in the morning. My husband's going

185
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.799
to be here in the morning.
My husband's going to be here in the

186
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.360
morning. And then she looks back
at the group and asks, do you

187
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.039
know what time my husband's going to
be here in the morning, and they

188
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.480
shook their heads no. She walked
away, but a little bit more frantic

189
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.360
this time. I don't really know
how to explain it, but the only

190
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.279
way I can explain it is that
she turned more like to an active panic,

191
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.080
as if she knows it's crunch time. She only has one day to

192
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:48.200
convince this kid to take her home. She continues to walk group to group,

193
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.120
just repeating herself, do you know
what time my husband's going to get

194
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.240
here? You know what time my
husband's going to get here. It literally

195
00:12:52.320 --> 00:13:01.080
walks around asking the same question,
getting the same answers. So, just

196
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.200
to recap, then the Sun's freaking
out when he sees her completely. That's

197
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.600
not my mom anymore. That is
not my mom. They start looking at

198
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.720
this more. They being the park
ranger, him and his friend. They're

199
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.399
all realizing how this thing is acting
weird, almost like a demonic force in

200
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.000
somebody's body, trying to figure out
what's going on. Doesn't really know who

201
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.960
her son is, doesn't know the
situation, asking a lot of questions,

202
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.679
trying to get answers. They've called
the dad to come pick the boy up

203
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.799
tomorrow, and they have a game
plan to completely separate the two until the

204
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.360
morning because the park rangers fear is
this thing can leave the park only if

205
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.320
it's able to manipulate a loved one
to take it home and then from there

206
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.279
we don't know what terrible things would
happen. Yeah, and the park rangers

207
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.720
like general attitude is like he's seen
this before. Yeah, he seems like

208
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.279
this isn't the crazy to him,
Like it's like he's been in this situation

209
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.120
before. It's definitely saying a thing
or two, but at this point and

210
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.120
it's kind of like it goes back
to the same thing we talked about the

211
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.000
stairs in the woods. Apparently this
happens these mysterious stairs in the woods,

212
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.360
and they're dangers. They're dangerous,
forced to be dealt with. Yeah,

213
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.360
it's pretty messed up. The part
where it's repeating itself over and over again

214
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:20.080
that that's generally junior really terrifying,
but it's doing it again as if it

215
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.080
needs to collect this and like it
has to process it, figure out what

216
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.159
to mimic and act and do next, right, because it's like just sitting

217
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.320
there when no one's watching it and
it's not doing anything. Yeah, it's

218
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.720
just kind of Yeah, it's just
like whatever someone talks to it, it's

219
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.159
just behave like they're behaving or something
like that. It's just to pretend to

220
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.639
be human, I guess. Yeah, it's like not even breathing when nobody's

221
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.399
near it. It's not even moving
and it's not doing anything. Then as

222
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.480
somebody comes to near by, it
comes alive, and then like almost like

223
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.360
it snaps into character or something
