Lights on the Mountain: Pisgah National Forest Aug 26, 2024

Show notes

For generations the stories of ghost lights in the Appalachian forests of North Carolina have captured the attention of locals and piqued the curiosity of travelers. These orbs of light have been witnessed by hundreds over the years, so no one is questioning their existence, but they are questioning their origins. Are they spirits? UFOs? Bioluminescent bugs? Automobile headlights? ETs? Today we discuss the Brown Mountain lights.

The Valley Killings: Alpine National Park Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

In March of 2020, days before the world began to lock down, Russell Hill and Carol Clay ventured to Alpine National Park for a camping trip. When over a week passed without a word from them, the families of the elderly pair grew worried. What investigators discovered was a burnt down campsite, but not the campers. What ensued over the next 18 months unfolded as one of Australia’s most intriguing missing persons cases - which resulted in uncovering an illicit affair, a brutal murder and raised questions of other mysterious cases of the past.

Ranger Gone Missing: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Jul 29, 2024

Show notes

This week, Cassie's voice is out of commission so instead of a new episode, we're offering a sneak peak into one of our Outsider Bonus episodes, previously only available on through subscription platforms.
Randy Morgenson was a man destined to become a park ranger - growing up in Yosemite and summiting extreme peaks as a child, his love for the outdoors was innate. When he accepted the job in the backcountry in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, he quickly became legendary for his ability to find missing people. But when he went missing, a massive search effort ensued. Despite the outpouring of effort, to this day there are still many unanswered questions.

Titanic of the West: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

In October of 1918, just days before the end of the first World War, the Princess Sophia ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef and sank into icy Alaskan waters. Every single one of the 350 people aboard perished despite rescue boats circling the ship for nearly two days. What has gone down in history as the worst maritime disaster in the history of the pacific northwest has largely been lost to history, but baffles everyone who hears her tale.
