The True Purpose Behind WHITE STAG EDUCATION: Analog Horror Series

White Stag Education is an Analog Horror series that was created by a team based in New Jersey called After10 Productions. It's presented as a word of warning to what truly lies within New Jersey's Pine Barrens and a guide on how to keep yourself and others safe on your hiking endeavors. Never whistle alone at night within those woods. You might just hear something whistle back... Of course big shout out to the creator of the series ​⁠@whitestageducation If you have not watched the series prior to this video I suggest that you do so and come back for the full breakdown.

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

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.

@ToastyMcMarshmallow

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.

@samherken

Ranger Luke's singing is the sole reason the Adversary wasn't a threat.

@ultimatecalliefan

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

@alfalldoot6715

As a resident of New Jersey I can confirm this happens every Tuesday or so.

@spoopyvirgil4944

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.

@kiartoons2010

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.

@TheEcoolarg

This video has a great vibe for analog horror, lofi and corny but effective jokes. Also really wish there was a sequel

@korbinslookingglass5467

Ranger Luke and his banjo keeping the dark forces away is oddly heartwarming to me.

@vapor-sings

"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

@djmcloud1562

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

@user-vx4wc7nf3n

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!

@hugoguzman4985

This series is so well produced! Luke's screams in the Christmas video are truly horrific.

@crimson-cloud

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

@Drana3308

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

@appalachiabrauchfrau

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.

@ZYNGRAND

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.

@Ghirko

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

@BetaReadingCookieEating

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

@KittyxKult

“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.
