PSAs or publicsafety announcements are
informational audio or video broadcast that serve the purpose to educate or promote Awareness
on health and safety as alluded to previously these can come in a wide variety of formats
with differing ways of getting the point across a common PSA just about everyone has seen at some
point is the emergency broadcast system typically shown on TV simply referred to as the emergency
alert system or EAS for short while the EAS can be alarming to some viewers
who are caught off guard
they're rather straightforward and to the point others can be made to be more appealing to younger
children to give a more general advice on safety this can be a short video featuring a friendly
mascot to convey the message because why would you listen to a lame authority figure when you
could have someone cool tell you instead stop it get some help Smokey Bear is an example of a
well-recognized PSA icon who was named after a real bear who was also named Smokey he's
very
family friendly at least most of the time I think but what happens when the origins of the character
possess a more Bleak story what if the message of the PSA was to protect yourself from something
more threatening to your immediate well-being to say the least white stag education is a newer
analog horde series that first premiered on October 22nd of 2022 and was produced by a
team called after 10 Productions initially these videos may seem like ordinary footage
or even a genuine PSA
about hiking safety but as you continue to watch them it becomes very
evident that something more Sinister is going on behind the cameras in this video I'm going to go
over each entry in the series then do my best to explain what I believe is happening in the story
at the end so my name's Nas and let's get into thank you the first entry in the series is called the Pine
Barrens hiking safety it was created by a man named Dan sevey who I assume is an association
with white stag education and
created this video in collaboration with Ocean County Parks
Recreation the video goes on to explain that the New Jersey Pine Barons can be a wonderful
experience but can also be a very dangerous place to visit and confidently states that this video
would teach you the acronyms safe to ensure that you don't mysteriously disappear while exploring
what the Great Outdoors has to offer to start we of course have S which stands for stick to the
trails it explains different trailblaze symbols say
ing a single rectangle means continue straight
and two rectangles forming a diagonal either left or right means turn down the respective direction
as of 1968 it's federally mandated that all Trails must be blazed so this is a federal standard of
all hiking trails and important general knowledge we're next told to not follow any unmarked Trails
or trails with suspicious marks on them hear the music ominously cuts out and says that you
won't return which it seems pretty adamant about foreign
like you never know maybe I'm just hiking over
to the suspiciously marked Trail to take a quick piss too much traffic on the properly marked
path I don't you know I don't want anyone to see me moving on we get to a which stands for
acquire equipment briefly I just want to point out how well that it segments back into the
normal video after the music abruptly stops the message lingers for a bit and then
Fades out and the audio Rises back in I don't know it just seems very fluid and
without
the inside of knowing that this was an analog horror series I'd probably Overlook
it as it being out of the ordinary just because of how well a transitioned a lot of series will
use static or glitching as a way to weave creepy elements into the more normal aspects of the
series which is fine I don't actually mind it but it's just refreshing to have a more
natural transition like that anyways back to acquiry equipment we're told that you should
always prepare for any obstacle you may face an
d to use this checklist to make sure you have
everything you need checklist includes food water hiking boots weather appropriate clothing first
aid kit Compass hiking knife flashlight and wait no that's it never mind the compass in
a map in particular are very important when you get a little lost so remember to
pick up a map from The Visitor Center you know this PSA has been pretty helpful
I mean I'm learning a lot of stuff I don't know about you I wonder what else
important advice they'll
have for it the ominous tone returns as it tells us
that there have been Mass people living in the Pine Barrens for hundreds of years
in the background we can hear a whistling tone in along with it some general
Outdoors Ambience which contrasts the lighthearted music that has been
playing throughout the whole video so far we're also so politely informed that in
Unholy entity holds dominion over the woods thank you the video then cuts to some footage being
filmed through a camera of some k
ind as it tells us that if you hear whistling
that you've unfortunately stumbled upon a false Trail the person recording looks up
and we see that he's been surrounded by two humanoid creatures wearing what look like owl
masks before it abruptly cuts off yeah I guess you can't take a piss in New Jersey without
getting jumped after all now we're on the final letter of the safe method no cue or friendly
advice here only running for your life foreign but yeah the person recording runs directly
into
a person whistling wearing a mask that I I'm I mean I can't really tell what that is but yeah then we get a credit screen
and that's the end of this video a Christmas Eve candlelight service is the next
video released and opens up with a title card as Silent Night plays on an organ with people
chattering in the background we're given more information on the event as it shows
us the service is hosted by the Grandwood Church of the Pines and presented by Pastor
George Robertson and film
ed by Dan savay and Luke Bale then there's a special thanks screen
with a handful of names you may consider this mildly concerning when she noticed that
looking at the first letter of the first names and the first letter of the last name
spells how innocent send help and now from a quick word from Pastor George Robertson himself
Christmas is a time for people to come together friends families enemies warring Nations to
celebrate the great gift God has given us this day his son Jesus Christ
following this heartwarming
and totally relevant speech relative to the day I'm recording this he then quotes two Bible verses
the first is John 3 16 which reads for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
that who's ever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life Pastor George continues his
speech by saying that humans have been given free will to do what we want but Jesus proved that even
with free will we can live lives free of evil and sin now you're prob
ably wondering when the creepy
kicks in and I'd say right about now yeah the second verse comes from Enoch 21-4 and if you're
only Vaguely Familiar with the Bible you may have never heard of this one before don't worry I'll
get to that but first let's just read the verse it reads there too I beheld Seven Stars of Heaven
Bound in it together like great mountains and like a blazing fire I exclaimed for what species of
crime have they been bound and why have they been removed to this place the
n Uriel one of the
Holy Angels who was with me and who conducted me answered Enoch wherefore Dost thou ask wherefore
reason with thyself and anxiously inquire these are those of the Stars which have transgressed
the Commandment of the most high God and are here bound until the infinite number of the days of
their crimes are completed this section from Enoch seems very random taken into consideration that
this is a Christmas church service anyways after the verses recited the video abruptly
transitions
into found footage but only audio is recorded due to a lens error we hear two voices speaking
and for Simplicity I'm just gonna go ahead and spoil some of the fun and say that turning
on the captions does reveal who they are they're none other than dance Ave and Luke Bale and for
those of you who have this video on as background and not actually paying attention those are the
two individuals mentioned earlier who filmed the whole Christmas Eve service Luke complained sedan
that
he's not very happy to be accompanying him to wherever it is they're going as we can hear
them make their way down some stairs and enter a basement we hear them arrive to where they're
going before there's a strange animal growl that makes Luke freak out of it Dan promptly reassures
Luke like there isn't some horrifying monster likely in front of him and Cox's pistol before
a gunshot fires off this will only take a second this seems to be ineffective to whatever the
creature is as we hear
it continue to Bellow only now it seems pissed off and frankly
kind of insulted that Dan thinks a pistol was enough to do the job and begins to break
the change it was apparently locked in this is when Dan and Luke both begin to panic
and we hear them both attempt to get the hell out of there they run for a few seconds
but then there's a static sound in Luke yells out as he trips over I think and the unknown
creature begins to attack him Dan figures if a pistol couldn't do the trick then Lu
ke
is probably a Connor and just leaves him for dead and continues running away as
the animal just shrieks in the background and then yeah that's how the Christmas
Candlelight Eve service ends I set that so wrong the third video in the series is the intuitane
production information video and starts by stating that the footage is not produced by white stag
education itself but instead has been released for educational purposes they also state that
they discourage the use of the pill include
d within the video and all products with similar
effects were introduced to a company by the name of Genesis Technologies who have been developing a
drug name intuitane that heightens the accuracy of human foresight and explains that the contents
of the video will go over some tests performed in relation to the drug the first test is called
the mouse and Pitfall maze where two groups of 25 mice are placed at the start of a pitfall maze
with cheese at the end group 2 was given into attain an
d Group 1 wasn't given anything none of
the mycin group 1 successfully reached the end of the maze which I mean that doesn't feel realistic
I mean I'm not a mouse or anything so I can't say for sure but like certainly at least a few of
them made it to the end the video elaborates that the mice prefer to take the direct direct
route straight to the cheese so it's gonna just gunning it straight down to the cheese instead of
taking turns to avoid falling into the pit which honestly I understan
d humans humans do the same
thing it's fine some people are so focused on the cheddar they forget about the trap in group two
however 19 of the 25 mice reached the end of the maze turning as needed despite the root being
indirect the conclusion made by these results is that the mycin group 1 simply followed their
natural instinct to go directly towards the food while the intuitane allowed the mice to go against
their natural instinct to take the safe route to the Food Test 2 is simply refer
red to as human
stoplight in this test researchers took two groups of 25 human subjects like in the first experiment
group 2 was given a dose of intuitane while group one wasn't given anything and placed in front
of a stoplight the subjects then had to guess which color the stoplight would glow at random 250
times and the accuracy of their guesses would be recorded out of the 250 guesses Group 1 on the we
managed to guess correctly 79 times an approximate 31.6 percent accuracy rate group 2
however scored
a very modest 250 out of 250 guesses correctly the conclusion made by these results is that subjects
in group 2 relied solely on chance to predict what color the stoplight would glow while the intuition
of group 2 was greatly heightened by the drug allowing for correct guesses a hundred percent
of the time now you may be thinking to yourself wow this product seems amazing it basically
lets you see the future well my dear viewer there are horribly and deadly side effects to th
is
product that Genesis Technologies even willingly tells you users of the intuitane domestic
pill have been reported having more Vivid and lifelike dreams while asleep paranoic
Tendencies and insomnia but yeah blah blah scientific explanation may possibly depict future
events now we're given three different reported instances of these vivid dreams the first being
from Margaret Pendleton in Her Dream she saw a never-before-aired televised Puppet Show
featuring four different puppets and a
park ranger Margaret was able to illustrate an image
of one of the puppets who she said was named Rex additionally Margaret stated that while in the
dream she felt as though she'd seen the program many times despite it never even existing the
second individual recorded is named Henry Ledger who dreamed about seeing a meteor falling towards
Earth and elaborate saying he watched the meteor crash near his hometown in Barnegat Township New
Jersey looking into this based on the effects of the dr
ug Genesis Technologies discovered a new
combat which they wholesomely named Ledger's comment now we get into the final individual
recorded Daniel Carpenter hear the tone of the video dramatically shifts just as it has in all
the prior videos at some point with the soothing music abruptly stopping and being replaced by a
silence that slowly becomes more sinister foreign he was standing in front of a group of mass
humanoids in The Illustrated photo we can see two figures wearing owl masks on
e wearing
a wolf mask one with a rabbit mask and one with a mask said I can't tell what it is
still in the center of the group there's a very noticeable hole that Daniel recalls
an immense amount of heat was emanating from along with the illustration Daniel was able
to transcribe a Melody that he heard in this stream this is a very blatant detail included
within this video so I did my best to recreate this melody with a virtual Piano now I'm not
a musician of any kind so I apologize for an
y inaccuracies but I think I got it pretty
close and this is what it sounds like foreign following this the video says that three days
after his dream Daniel had a violent encounter with three of the mass figures he witnessed but
strangely did not come into contact with the hole nah I'm just messing around could
you imagine number four Forest friend the final video currently released at the time
of making this video is called The Stranger Danger puppet show the video starts with a
colorful
introduction screen titled Forest Friends a production created by Luke Bale
and Dan seve yeah the same Luke and Dan who holy [ __ ] transitions into the first scene
with a puppet who introduces himself as Rex the show is filmed as an interactive experience
including the viewer as a character after the viewer and Rex meet he asks if you would
like to go camping along with him and his friends and tells the invitation with the once
in a lifetime opportunity to meet Ranger Luke Rex remembers t
hat he still needs to prepare
for the trip so he walks off screen then a new character named Anna walks into frame she looks
around for Rex before noticing the viewer then becomes visibly scared saying that she's never
seen you before Rex comes back and reassures her that they're just his new friend but Anna still
doesn't fully trust the viewers saying that they could still be a stranger stranger throughout
this video seems to not just be referring to an ordinary Stranger by definition it s
eems like
they're talking about a very specific type of person you'll see what I mean as we continue Anna
and Rex think about what to do for a moment before Anna suggests I go ask stranger Luke if he knows
how to tell someone's a stranger or not maybe they are a stranger but how can we know for sure
Let's go ask Ranger Luke he knows everything about stranger danger you're right come on let's go
camping Rex agrees and together everyone heads off to the camping site there's a few lovely shots
of
the forest before we finally see him Ranger Luke oh Anna and Rex greet Ranger Luke and ask him
if their new friend is a stranger or not Ranger Luke takes a good long look at the viewer then
confidently states that they don't look like a stranger this is one instance of what I was
talking about earlier Ranger Luke sees someone who he has supposedly never seen before and is
able to tell that they're not a stranger it's weird given that A Stranger by definition is
a person whom one does n
ot know or with whom one is not familiar with with this in mind
a stranger is certainly not just someone you don't know but an exclusively dangerous person
that you can recognize Ranger Luke asks if Rex and Anna remember how to spot a stranger and
after they say no he reassuringly tells her that we will all learn together now we get a real
treat in absolute Banker The Stranger Danger song remember that story from way back when if
you can't recall let me tell it again this is the story of Li
ttle Red went to
visit granny who was sick in her bed I don't want to undermine the effort that went
into making the song so I won't play all of it but Ranger Luke tells an altered version
of Little Red Riding Hood of her walking through the pine Barons trails in this version
she follows the appropriate trailblazes walks in front of a familiar looking hole in the ground
it's pretty clear that this is the same hole that Daniel carpenter saw on his dream but there's
still not any known relev
ance of the whole so I'm just gonna have to leave it there little
red continues onto the path when she hears what initially sounds like birds whistling but then
notices that there aren't any birds around this is when she stops to notice that she's on the wrong
path and continues back in a different direction this part is definitely the highlight of the
series little red same as in the original tale goes to her Granny's house but instead finds
a wolf there though the wolf isn't an actual ant
hropomorphic wolf unfortunately for those
of you who are into that but instead looks like someone in an all black suit with a
slightly unsettling mask on it would seem that red didn't survive this encounter because
following this there isn't another mention of her that's just where the story ends in
Ranger Luke he just keeps on singing like a g he doesn't even give a damn after Ranger
Luke is done with his Heavenly vocals we get more video taken from different areas around
the forest as a
sort of intermission of the episode before we're introduced to two more
puppet characters this blue guy right here is named Oswald in the slightly overdressed fellow
given the weather is named Gleason Oswald and Gleason have been hiking for a while until they
come to this point and Gleason Ash Oswald if he knows where they are he says that they've been
following the Trailblazers but Gleason begins to panic claiming they forgot to use a map along
with the Trailblazers meaning that they are i
n fact lost with this Revelation Gleason comes
to the conclusion that they must have taken a false Trail right before they begun hearing
the whistling the whistling as you can tell has a strange seemingly random tune to it which
Oswald says that it means that the strangers aren't hunting so if they stand still they'll be
okay though staying still is probably the last thing you'd want to do in the scenario because as
the whistling continues it becomes more intense and the video begins to get
very shaky as a low
rumbling picks up until we hear a loud roaring the video abruptly cuts to Black and opens
a new scene with a character who introduces himself as Mr gungus Mr gungus is a pretty
chill Pig and is here to play Mr gungus's Game of the day which is spot the stranger
the strangers in this section are yet again represented by a figure fully dressed in
one color with an animal mask on for this part I figured it'd be fun to play through
the game with you guys so let's see if yo
u can spot them all before me alright Loki
forgot I ripped this bit into the script this is going to be corny as hell
but it's [ __ ] let's do it anyways all right spot the stranger let's see let's see
how hard this is gonna be probably not very oh man coming coming out coming out pretty pretty intense
I don't I can't seem to find it I dude this is something why am I doing this all right that was
a little fun so now we're reminded that we are in fact watching an analog horror series with th
e
next round which has to spot the adversary we hear a rumbling and Roar similar to the ones playing
during the section with Oswald and Gleason before we see an all black sock puppet rise and begin to
schmoove the caption changes to it rides beneath the forest as this section ends it flashes a quick
message that says the burning sword protects us for now we get Mr gungus again as he thanks us
for playing the game and this portion of the video ends and resumes back to Ranger Luke and
the fo
ur puppets all sitting around the campfire Ranger Luke asks Anna and Rex what they had done
today and they enthusiastically talk about their fishing Adventures after they finish Ranger Luke
acts Oswald and Gleason what they did today and Oswald blankly says that they went hiking Ranger
Luke asks why they don't sound happy and they explain that they got lost and heard the whistling
on the strangers saying before we knew it it was too late Ranger Luke then asked specifically what
they heard t
hird and they respond by saying that it was a song he then asked what they did once
they heard the music and they say that they stopped moving until they couldn't hear it anymore
and then turned around Ranger Luke then asks what they would have done if it wasn't a song and
Gleason replies by saying they would have closed their eyes and ran away they all cheer celebrating
the correct answers and Ranger Luke ends off the video by saying always remember strangers have
no regard for your well-b
eing they aren't like us do not follow them into the woods no matter how
friendly they look see you on another episode of after he finishes speaking we get a memorial
screen that says in memory of the Grandwood four the Grandwood four seemed to be four
children who were lost in the barren Pines and never return their names are Ryan Rex
Michaels Samuel Gleason Oswald Jones and Anna Carpenter meaning the four puppets and Four's
friends are named after the Grandwood four and this is where the
stranger
danger puppet show ends foreign so now after viewing all of the currently released
videos in the series I've done my best to piece together all the Mysteries surrounding the barren
Pines and while it doesn't really affect the viewing experience the events that take place
within each video place them in a chronological order starting with the intuitane production
information video this video was created before all of the other ones and was redistributed for
educational purposes by
white stag education it seems to be created as a record of the intuitane
experiments and the conclusions drawn from them by whoever worked on the project within a company
called Genesis Technologies the results of the experiments showed that the strange drug can
not only heighten an individual's foresight to a telepathic level but lets you straight up see
into the future as we see that two out of the three dreams came true with the third dream only
coming half true as Henry ledge's dream wa
s about seeing an unidentified Comet but the prophecy of
it crashing down onto Earth has yet to come true we can tell that it was the first video because
Margaret Pendleton's dream involved her watching an episode of forest friends which was said to not
even exist at the time of the intuitane experiment in Forest Trends as we know would eventually be
created by white stag education and broadcasted sometime afterward it only makes sense that
they would have created it without the knowledge o
f Margaret's stream not only that but Daniel
Carpenter's dream revealed to him a group of mass humanoid figures standing around a large hole the
video then says that three days after his dream Daniel was attacked by three of the figures
he had seen but did not encounter the whole this statement makes it pretty clear that Daniel
Carpenter is the person recording the footage that was shown in the pine Baron safety video which
would be the second video created under the guys as such a simple h
iking video but pretty blatantly
reveals itself as a word of warning to what truly lies within the forest within the footage we see
Daniel spot two figures wearing owl masks who are whistling causing him to panic and run until
he stumbles into the figure with the black mask so there are three figures but to further
sell the point home remember the tune that Daniel inscribed from his dream this is
what the audio sounds like side by side with the whistling playing at the
start of the found f
ootage section they match up almost perfectly ignoring
the errors on my part the next video is an episode of a local broadcast called Forest
runs another PSA created by Dan seve and Luke Bale who seem to be at the very least prominent
members of white sag education if not the soul members or his friends shares a lot of the same
safety information featured in the previous video referencing many of the same safety tips that
were explicitly mentioned within the broadcast there are four puppet
characters named after
children who went missing within the forest known as the Grandwood four in a carpenter in
particular at this point in the series seems to be the most curious one of the four sharing
the family name with the previously mentioned Daniel Carpenter additionally in the very opening
shot of the broadcast we can see a photo of Anna sitting on a table in the background next to an
angel statue it's to my understanding that angel statues often represent mourning and I hope to
reunite with your loved ones in the afterlife considering Anna is the only character this is
done for within the broadcast her disappearance was probably quite recently if it shows that the
community is still mourning her loss this leads me to think that maybe Dan and Luke didn't
feel satisfied with the original Pine Baron safety video after releasing it or felt like it
just wasn't really getting the point across even though if I saw this [ __ ] I would not come
within a mile of this place
or his friends is likely a new approach made by the two to create
a more appealing PSA to the younger demographic with colorful mascots catchy music interactive
games and even a little bouncy animation this particular broadcast is a special on stranger
danger and clearly addresses the cloaked furries that hide in the forest though this isn't all this
video discusses another dangerous entity separate from the strangers who is only referred to as
the adversary the strangers and the adversary
are likely In Cahoots but at this point in the
series there's no direct interaction between the two show all we know is that they're both
two different evil forces existing with within the same Forest now moving on to the final
video chronologically we have the Christmas Eve candlelight service this video is exactly
how it sounds but it's interesting to note that Dan seve and Luke Bale themselves are the ones
who recorded the service the footage itself is short and sweet Pastor George gives
a speech then
reads off some Bible verses it very well could be that they did this out of the goodness of their
heart but the event shown that follows suggests that they volunteered to film the service to reach
whatever underground basement or bunker they went down into leading to the Fatal encounter the two
attempt to kill a demonic entity with a pistol and as funny as that idea sounds the consequences
that come with it are no laughing matter [ __ ] with the video content over I now want
to
briefly discuss information that was not given to us within the series in the community
tab of the channel there's three images next to the text that isn't said or displayed in
any of the videos using my massive brain I deduced that these sentences are in land and
this is the point where you get to hear my super awesome and accurate Latin the first
one says igneous Gladys and saxim verteter foreign which means the fiery sword has
turned to stone the second one says somnium Margaret Pend
leton vertum factomist which means
Margaret Pendleton's Dream came true and the final image undoubtedly the most interesting of
the three says igneous Gladius in saxom vertito Verte vertether at astrum coili no cans s
God damn that was worse than I thought it was gonna be or the fiery sword is turned
to stone and the star of Heaven is guilty so I guess I'll just start with the primary
threat of the series and make my way around as it's pretty much the foundation of this
series within the b
aron Pines there seems to be a sort of cult but I'm sure you didn't need me
to tell you that because wearing robes with the creepy ass mask is page one of the how to look
like a cult handbook four children as well as Daniel Carpenter went missing or were found dead
within the forest all of which can be attributed to the cult who are referred to as strangers
there's no doubt that the strangers are very dangerous to the people who visit the barren
Pines but there is another issue that could p
otentially be a threat to humanity as a whole
the creature that's only ever referred to as the adversary seems to be the primary antagonist
within the series The Creature they encounter in the candlelight service footage is definitely
the adversary they were referring to within the Forest Friends episode as there they say it
rise beneath the forest which as we can see but not really the duo to send down into some type
of a basement or bunker the candlelight service includes two different Bi
ble verses one you would
expect to be at your usual sermon but the second not not as quiet it comes from The Book of
Enoch which isn't accepted as a scripture by an overwhelming majority of Christians and I
guess you can say it isn't Canon to the Bible lore after looking into it some I can tell you
that with certainty the First Book of Enoch is referred to as the book of Watchers and
tells about 200 Watchers who descended upon Earth to look after Humanity the Watchers are
pretty much just
Angels but these ones are very naughty because they lusted after mortal women and
had children with them the children were giants that had a huge appetite and ate up all the food
and then began to eat mankind this was obviously very bad and against God's orders so he sent out
four archangels to take care of the problem all of the Watchers were eventually bound to the Earth
and told that they would remain there for the rest of their days until the day of judgment this
is where the quoted pas
sage comes from when Enoch was on a sort of spiritual journey traveling with
each of the archangels one at a time he's taken to where the Watchers are bound and describes what
he sees that's pretty much what the latter half of the book of watches is Enoch goes around
and speaks to God and sees heaven I believe that drawing attention to the Bible here right
before the encounter in the bunker points towards this creature being something Unholy there's
a reference to an adversary within the Bi
ble multiple times usually always referring to the
devil or Satan himself another allusion to the Bible is right after we see the adversary sock
puppet we get a quote that says the burning sword protects us within the Bible there's talk of an
angel with a flaming sword that guards the gates of the Garden of Eden this means that there is
an unforeseen force that is defending the barren Pines from the adversary or maybe it isn't very
unseen maybe it maybe it's been seen the whole time you see
going back to the community post I
referenced before the quotes begin to make sense when you have all the contacts it it says that the
fiery sword has been turned to stone and the star of Heaven is guilty along with this it shows us
a newspaper that tells us about the death of Luke AKA Ranger Luke the star of Heaven aligns with
the Enoch woe calling them Stars bound meaning the angel bound to Earth is the one guilty of
turning the burning sword to Stone The Burning sword is most likely Luk
e or Dan in lukewolf
it could also just be referring to white stag education itself too the sword turning to Stone
while showing us the newspaper report of Luke's death adds up but Luke also played the role of a
ranger within the Forest Friends broadcast Rangers as you may know serve the purpose of protecting a
forest including the wildlife and the people who visit them not only that but white stag education
itself is named after a New Jersey Legend the white stag the white stag is a spirit
ual entity
that aids lost Travelers that get lost within the barren Pines and is also said to prevent
impending disasters this aligns with the purpose of the organization that Luke had a big hand in to
help people safely travel the forest and keep them away from strangers who likely brought people to
the adversary to sacrifice them but now that Luke who was the burning sword that has been protecting
the barren Pines has been turned to stone the star bound is now free to roam among the land
who knows
what will happen next but that's about all I got surrounding the mystery of white stag education
there are still some unanswered questions like what purpose does the intuitane pill serve and
honestly I don't think there's enough evidence to say for sure yet but one thing that I realized
within the Book of Enoch after the Watchers are found out by God they seek forgiveness and ask
Enoch to speak to God on their behalf and the way he does this is by reading their pleas for
forgiven
ess until he falls asleep after he falls asleep he has a vision or dream where God speaks
to him and rejects their pleas for forgiveness the only thing that I could come up with is that
with the company's name being Genesis technologies that may have a connection with the goal of the
pill to speak to God or something like that but again there's just not very much evidence for
that one last thing that I'd like to say is that this series is based off of the legend of the
Jersey Devil I mean I
mean if you hadn't caught on yet I intentionally haven't explicitly said that
because I think that the story that after 10 has been building surrounding it has been really cool
and I appreciate the effort put in I feel like with Cryptids it really could just go like it's
something that exists and that's it but the effort in making it more believable by giving an origin
is pretty sweet but yeah that's about all I have for this series I would love to come back to it in
the future if there ar
e any updates to it and as always if you made it this far thanks for watching
and another thank you to new and old viewers of the channel I know that I made returning
viewers wait a long time for this it's been a pretty eventful summer for me to say the least but
I'm gonna do my best to upload more consistency consistently I know that I said that last time
but please just bear with me I love making these types of videos and I got some awesome stuff
planned so stick around and again thank yo
Comments
Thank god SOMEONE is making comprehensive PSAs about the Pine Barrens. The first time I encountered Owl People over on Apple Pie Hill, I didn't know what to do.
I love how Luke and Dan were so sure one bullet could kill whatever the fuck was chained up that they had NO other back up plans or protection. Great idea, fellas. 10/10.
Ranger Luke's singing is the sole reason the Adversary wasn't a threat.
idk if someone's mentioned this but in many cultures there are superstitions about whistling at night bringing bad luck or attracting bad spirits, so that makes the strangers' whistling extra creepy
As a resident of New Jersey I can confirm this happens every Tuesday or so.
See the funniest part is "Fear the Forest" even beyond just this ARG can be very helpful advice. Especially with all the dangers that lurk irl. Like I wouldn't want to just stumble across a hungry bear or touch some poisonous plant that would give me a horrific rash. It's genuinely a wise idea to keep an air of caution when out in forests, even if you aren't living in an ARG parallel universe.
I love how casual this video is. Most YouTubers who do this kind of stuff like to play up the horror aspect, but this feels a lot more chill and way more watchable to easily frightened.
This video has a great vibe for analog horror, lofi and corny but effective jokes. Also really wish there was a sequel
Ranger Luke and his banjo keeping the dark forces away is oddly heartwarming to me.
"But the wolf wasnt an actual anthropomorphic wolf, unfortunately, for those of you who are into that" lmao, you had to call us out like that
Oh man, the Pine Barrens gives me so much nostalgia, I grew up in New Jersey and in fifth grade we basically devoted an entire semester to the Pine Barrens where all our classes converged and we did research in Science, public speaking for a presentation in English and made a powerpoint presentation in Computer Lab for a big project at the end of the semester. As far as I remember we did not see any demons while we were there but we did have a handful of reports on the Jersey Devil
White Stag is genuinely the best analog horror I’ve seen. The scares aren’t too in your face, yet when they do happen, they are actually disturbing/terrifying. I’m so glad you covered them. Your videos give off such a chill vibe. You’re writing is so clever and funny, I love it. Keep up the good work!
This series is so well produced! Luke's screams in the Christmas video are truly horrific.
That ending to the red riding hood song genuinely freaked me out. It wasn't that big a jumpscare but something about the setup and execution freaked me out more than a lot of other analogue horror
I really like the can you spot the adversary segment since you assume it’s gonna be a glitch and a flash frame of a monster but instead it’s just a sock puppet
There was a woman who died on the Appalachian Trail, she went off onto an unmarked side trail and was NOT that far from the standard white blazes. She stayed put instead of getting more lost, but it didn't help. Someone found her skeleton with her campsite, a tree had fallen or something obscuring people from seeing her from the main trail. So, you know, it's pretty true. I followed a blue blaze once, wasn't marked real well, and I got so gd lost. Had to use my satellite tracker for the first time.
I didn't even realize that the entire thing was connected to the Jersey Devil Cryptid until you said it. In my mind the Jersey Devil is just like, a weird grandpa.
The phrase "the fiery sword has turned to stone" with the context of the defender being Luke makes me think the "stone" is rather literal as in a grave stone
26:30 I would think the prediction of the comet came true because of the massive hole in the ground that Daniel saw in his dream, with heat radiating from it. That comet might be where the Adversary came from, too
“The burning swords protect us.” “The fiery sword has turned to stone and the star of heaven is guilty.” That as well as the end scene of Forest Friends with the memorial photos both made me feel so many emotions What a good little series. A little Mandela Catalogue, a little Vita Carnis, and yet still pretty original and very well done. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store.
