Transcribe →63. Haunted Parks: Big Bend National Park, Texas
Sep 2400:27:41Tap to summarizeThere’s something eerie about Big Bend. Maybe it’s the silence—so wide and deep it feels like you’re standing on another planet. Maybe it’s the isolation, where you can hike for days and never see another soul. Or maybe… it’s something else. Join us for today's installment of Haunted Parks.

Transcribe →62. Missing in the Mist (Olympic National Park, Washington)
Sep 1700:36:06Tap to summarizeOlympic National Park is one of the wildest, wettest places in the United States. Towering trees, moss-draped trails, and a rainforest that breathes with mist and silence. It’s beautiful—and isolating. And in June 2006 a former military intelligence officer went missing without a trace. A man who knew how to take care of himself. So how did Olympic swallow him whole?Tips: Thurston County Sheriff's Office 360-786-5742Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_National_Parkhttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/gilbert-gilmanhttps://charleyproject.org/case/gilbert-mark-gilmanhttps://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article30946359.htmlhttps://vault.fbi.gov/israel-keyes/Israel%20Keyes%20Part%2008/viewhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeBullshit/comments/la8czj/gilbert_gilman_what_is_the_theory/https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/22763?navSupport the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!

Transcribe →61. Off-grid Gone Wrong (Gunnison National Forest, Colorado)
Sep 1000:38:35Tap to summarizeThere’s a certain romantic pull to the idea of going off-grid. Leaving behind the noise, the stress, the modern world—to find peace in the wild. But for one family, that dream ended in heartbreak. In 2023, the remains of three family members were found deep in a forest in Colorado. What started as an attempt to live off the land became a fatal survival effort against the elements.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnison_National_Foresthttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/category/Vance+Family+deathshttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/questions-linger-death-family-went-grid-colorado-wilderness-rcna96851https://thedyrt.com/camping/colorado/colorado-gold-creek-campgroundSupport the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!
