8 Scary Appalachian Trail Stories That Will Give You CHILLS

from Buried Files · host Buried Files

DESCRIPTION:A veteran ranger uncovered 17 incident files within six miles—nine missing hikers, four unexplained livestock kills, and four rangers who vanished without explanation. A solo female hiker at Rufus Morgan Shelter encountered three men who all gave the same false name—and a 26-year-old hiker didn't leave with her. One hiker discovered a trail angel's cooler contained audio recordings of her private conversations made days before they ever met. From 1970s disappearances to fatal shelter attacks, these eight Appalachian Trail stories will give you chills.
