"never seen anything like it in my life"... Cause you keep turning the flashlight off. Keep it on and maybe you'll see it.
"I haven't been able to figure it out"... Keep your flashlight on, and maybe you'll be able to figure it out

This guy really doesn’t respond to danger right either.
Tree gets violently ripped apart
“Dang nabbit, what in the blue blazes is that?”

The flashlight in the tree reminded me of one of those Aliexpress photos when they are showing you how bright their $5 flashlight is......

Both the way this guy controls his camera and the way he controls his flashlight pisses me off.

Coincidence he turns his flashlight off right before something happens...

u/SatanofDeath 2d ago
Agreed, why turn it off at all? The thing keeps moving and throwing shit with it on

u/MeasurementMobile747 1d ago
Some flashlights have a super-bright setting that overheats the flashlight if left on. Maybe there is a safety shutoff when it gets too hot. It is a pretty bright light. That might explain why it goes off.

This is believed to have happened in South Carolina two years ago. There were like 40 macaque monkeys that escaped an enclosure. Most were recovered but a few were still loose. The r/aliens sub thought this instance were these macaques. They aren't very big but strong for their size like all monkeys, and would be very capable of snapping branches to scare off threats.
You can see one at around 2:24. The limbs being broke are not as big as he stated. I think he was scared. The monkeys were just pissed off and throwing down branches as a defense measure.
I saw the same thing when visiting Panama with Howler monkeys. They don't like people or animals up in their shit. LOL

On another post, (I think r/weird or r/paranormal) OP said this was from 2 years ago. But is indeed SC

It also might have been r/highstrangeness or r/aliens. Here’s the potential og YouTube link og(?) video link

I, too, was thinking this might have been the monkeys that escaped, but I didn't know when and where this was filmed.

"Look!" proceeds to keep turning the fucking light off.

u/sevensisters85 1d ago
It felt to me like he’s turning the light off cos stuff was most likely to happen when it was dark. If that makes sense? Animals will freeze and stop doing what they’re doing if they’ve got a big light shining on them.

u/SaveusJebus 1d ago
Sure, that would make sense if the activity didn't keep going when the light was on though.

u/sevensisters85 1d ago
Yeah, I get what you’re saying and it’s annoying he keeps turning it off for sure.

u/Warhammerpainter83 2d ago
LMFAO first lots of animals do this second he turns off the light or looks away every time anything would happen. This is dumb.

Saw this debunked elsewhere. There's a dead tree leaning on the live tree. In the background you can see it in various levels of falling and knocking branches over

u/pongmagic 2d ago
You can even see a huge ass dead tree leaning against the one he's filming, and all the dead limbs resting on the living tree

u/NotADirtyRat 1d ago
I think it was debunked in the past post in Unexpected subreddit. There was a link posted for YouTube. The video was better quality and it showed a dead tree falling through the others. That's why branches were breaking.

"Its something stronger than a bear", no it's a fucking bear you idiot, get inside and clean it up tomorrow!

u/SoberingAstro 2d ago
Ps, bear falls with tree limb at 2:20, and gets up and runs off at 2:33. Homie still looking up cuz he's a dipshit.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, MAN.
This wards off spells, right here. This is a special leprechaun flute, which has been passed down from thousands of years from my great, great grandfather who was an Irish.
I just came to help out.

Why does this keep getting posted? Can't actually see anything.

u/Mr_E_Monkey 1d ago
I guess it fits here if the question is whether you can see anything interesting or frightening in the video

u/boukalele 20h ago
The most interesting thing and the most frightening thing is how idiotic the cameraman is

So are crawlers the creatures in the trees, or the ones that actually believe this shit?

u/chestyfatballs 1d ago
I’ll give the guy credit for turning land slippage into a filming opportunity. I wouldn’t have thought of that until afterwards, when it was too late.

The way this entire debacle unfolded between the potato focus and constantly turning off the light was maddening.

Bears are excellent climbers and heavy enough to break branches that size. So are mountain lions. Depending where he lives my guess is black bear.

Hate those torches that randomly turn off as you're about to see something.
