The Appalachian mountains are older than bones, and have certainly seen some stuff in their endless eons oaths Earth. Any local will tell you that it remains a place of unfathomable mystery, and the folklore of the region is deep and powerful.
Bottom line: there are unknowable things in the area, and if you know what is good for you, you’ll follow the rules. Are these survival rules for campers? Well, yes and no.
Apparently in Appalachia, there are rules to follow. If you are out in the wilderness and you see something strange, no you didn’t. If you hear something call your name, no you definitely didn’t. If you feel something stalking you, do not run. Never whistle in the woods, and definitely stay out of there after dark.
This TikToker calls herself “ appalachianmountainfairy ,” which is funny, given these are the precise creatures you’re trying to avoid by following these instructions.

Don't whistle in the woods...
I grew up in the Alleghenies which are a part of the Appalachians. There are strange things in the woods
Ah, my younger years in the wilds of Maryland...Haha
I was trying to remember. We had some woods by us that we all went to. They were full of trails though.
I don't think I have ever really been in some backwoods.
Down in the valley, along RT 56 going into Johnstown, people have claimed to see Big Foot. I just know there are places you want to stay away from because they still make moonshine in them woods
The pot growers can be even more dangerous.
I’m up in the mountains in MD. I had to chase this guy away just the other day.
I grew up in the Appalachians, and stayed there. We have the Mothman, the Flatwoods Monster, the Greenbrier Ghost
and apparently Bigfoot. I've never seen any of them.
But there are weird noises in my office, and lights that turn themselves on sometimes.
And one night driving the WV Turnpike in a hard rainstorm, a man nearly jumped out onto the road in front of my car. There had been no broken-down cars stopped on the side of the road for miles, so I have no idea where he came from. I really thought I was going to hit him, and worried that there must be something really wrong with him to take such a risk, but there was no way I was stopping for a stranger in the middle of the night with only my son (a toddler at the time) with me. It shook me enough that I called 911, because I was sure the guy was going to end up being hit. The dispatcher said she'd received multiple calls regarding him that evening, but no troopers had been able to find him.
Lol, my printer turns itself off and on at random times.
