The Story Begins

This is my follow up from this post. Read that to get the back story.

So we made it up the mountain. we followed an old logging trail that quickly disappeared as we started to climb. there was no path whatsoever once we started our ascent and the terrain was the roughest id ever experienced while backpacking. there were some parts we literally had to get on our hands and knees to climb.

we found an old campfire pit near a cliff that we decided to set camp by. the whole night was actually quite fun and we made light of our situation by joking about the monster the whole time and playing drinking games. we left the gun at home, as guns and alcohol dont mix and we werent going to let a monster ruin our fun. we all did sleep with our knives though.

OK, now for the creepy things:

• we found bone fragments around our campsite.

• we found a ghost radio station. i say ghost station because we found this weird signal on an AM frequency and it disappeared later in the night.

• all our electronic devices kept saying the batteries were dead and shutting off at weird times. you'll see in the video i shot that the camera keeps turning off. in the morning all our devices were fine.

• we heard what sounded like a kid yelling in the woods. i didnt get footage of it, but we all decided it was probably just some bird anyways.

• yes, we captured the sound. it happened around midnight. you'll see in the footage it happens but the camera dies. but it happened a second time and i managed to catch a second of it, but the camera then died for good. the first scream sounded pretty far away, the second one was definitely closer.

This is all stuff you'll see in the videos. as for stuff that wasnt in the videos, well when we all finally went to bed i swear i heard voices in the woods. i was too scared to investigate and my camera stopped working anyways. thats about it. check out the videos and let me know what you think. the first video is mostly our journey to the campsite and getting settled. the weird stuff happens right at the next video. the most intriguing thing i found was the radio signal. it sounded like an emergency broadcast, but no instructions or voice ever came. weird. so check out the videos everyone, let me know what you think.

• Video 1 (hiking and setting up)

  

• Video 2 (weird stuff starts to happen)

  

EDIT: i did some research on the radio signal. i think it might actually be whats called a numbers station. that would explain why it was broadcasting a loop and then disappeared. Can anyone else deduce anything from the signal? despite capturing the scream, im actually most fascinated by this signal.

EDIT 2: farkas identified the radio signal as an SSTV broadcast. After listening to others from youtube, i think i agree with him. does anyone have a decoder that can translate the signal into an image? come on reddit! you're help would be greatly appreciated! we have a mystery to solve!

Edit 3: The signal is decoded! I made a new post with the image here along with speculation on what it means.
