8 True Alaskan Horror Stories _ Can You Survive 30 Days of Darkness With It Outside_ 😱

from Buried Files · host Buried Files

DESCRIPTION:For one month, the sun vanishes over Barrow, Alaska, leaving the town in unbroken darkness. It's during one such polar night that a remote pumping station worker, isolated for decades, is tormented by a persistent knocking on his door—a sound he knows should be impossible in the frozen wasteland [citation:1].In this episode, we explore the horrifying reality of surviving Alaska's "polar night." The winter sun sets in late November and doesn't rise again for up to 67 days, a phenomenon locals say can make people "get kind of crazy" [citation:5]. We delve into the true story of the Portlock ghost town, abandoned in the 1950s after a series of bizarre tragedies and disappearances blamed on a fearsome creature from Aleut legend [citation:10][citation:13]. And in a chilling account from a search and rescue team, we examine a case where the recovery of bodies stopped making sense, and ancient folklore seemed to resurface through modern tracks in the snow [citation:8].These are true stories from the Last Frontier. The sun may disappear, but the terror is just getting started. Listen if you dare.
