Terrified hiker stumbles on eerie Blair Witch-style camp in the middle of a forest with dozens of missing persons posters stuck on trees

THIS is the creepy moment a terrified hiker stumbles across a deserted forest camp -- surrounded by missing persons posters.

Youtuber Dateline420 even finds what appears to be a cage made of thick tree branches lashed together.

He made the nerve-wracking discovery as he walked through Berkeley Jackson County Park in Huntington, New York.

In a scene reminiscent of cult horror film the Blair Witch Project, in which a group of students film themselves investigating disappearances in their local forest, the shaken cameraman talks through his strange find.

Two films totalling 20 minutes of footage document the weirdly empty camp, with special attention given to the most upsetting discovery of all -- around 25 missing persons posters.

They can be seen carefully placed in plastic sleeves and pinned to the trees surrounding a central fire pit.

There was also a large tent, bedding and tree stumps that appear to have been arranged like chairs.

The cameraman -- who is seen armed with a hunting knife as he nervously walks through the camp -- can be heard breathing heavily as he narrates the video.

He says he initially assumed the posters were "no trespassing signs" before realising they were reporting missing people.

"What the f*** is going on here?" he asks, before eventually running away after hearing voices approaching.

Writing under the video, he says: "This is something I stumbled across while hiking in the woods this afternoon.

"There's like 25 missing persons posters taped to the trees, along with some ratty old bedding, a shovel, a large tent, and a collapsed handmade wooden cage surrounding a filled-in hole.

"I tried to get as many of the posters in frame as I could but the video was aborted when I heard voices coming from the direction of the adjacent residence."
