Wilderness Bonescapes Podcast

The night started like any other. A last-minute camping trip. Five friends. One quiet stretch of wilderness deep in the Chippewa National Forest. Laughter around a dying fire. Stories drifting into the early morning hours. And a decision that seemed harmless at the time— To sleep under the open sky. By 4:30 a.m., the world had gone completely still. Just darkness… and the sound of a voice mid-sentence. Then— Something moved. Fast and silent. And in a single instant… everything changed. A shadow out of nowhere. Jaws clamping down. In a place where wolves are known to avoid humans… one didn’t. It came straight into camp and it didn’t stop. What followed was a fight for survival—bare hands against a wild predator in the middle of the night. No time to think. No time to run. Only one choice: Fight… or become prey. But the story doesn’t end when the wolf disappears into the trees. Because what investigators would uncover in the days after… Would raise even more questions than answers. Why did it happen? What drove the animal to attack? The first documented wolf attack in Minnesota history. One teenager. One unimaginable encounter. And one question that lingers long after the sun comes up— What was really out there… in the dark?.Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠...Sources:1.      https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-survives-first-known-wolf-attack-minnesota-flna8c110244362.      https://bringmethenews.com/news/dna-tests-necropsy-provide-details-behind-wolf-attack-on-teen3.      https://abcnews.com/blogs/headlines/2013/08/minnesota-teen-pulls-wolfs-jaws-off-his-head-with-bare-hands4.      https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/when-wolves-attack/?scope=initial5.      https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=livewith.wolves6.      https://www.wikihow.com/Survive-a-Wolf-Attack7.      https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/2331448.      https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/chippewa/recreation/opportunities/hiking9.      https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/chippewa/animals-plants#:~:text=Wildlife:,nesting%20pairs%20of%20bald%20eagles.10. https://wolf.org/wow/united-states/minnesota/#:~:text=Main%20prey%20for%20wolves%20are,size%20of%20117.2%20km2.11. https://www.fws.gov/species/gray-wolf-canis-lupus12. https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Mammals/Gray-Wolf13. https://nywolf.org/2016/07/how-fast-do-wolves-run/

It starts with a dog barking in the middle of the night… sharp, urgent… wrong. Then headlights creep up a quiet driveway in a small Wisconsin town. Inside the house, a family wakes—confused, uneasy, sensing something they can’t yet explain. At the door, a voice shouts: “Open the door!” Moments later, a gunshot shatters the silence. And in less than four minutes… everything changes. This is the story of Jayme Lynn Closs—a 13-year-old girl taken from her home after her parents were murdered… by a stranger who chose her at random. No connection. No warning. Just a decision… made in passing… that would spiral into 88 days of captivity. As investigators race against time, they’re left with almost nothing—no suspect, no clear direction, just a house filled with silence and a girl who has vanished into the night. A community rallies. Thousands search. Hope begins to fade. And then, just when it feels like the story might end like so many others… Something unimaginable happens. A girl appears out of the woods. Alone. Alive. What happened during those 88 days? How did she survive? And how did she find the strength to take her freedom back? This is not just a story about loss. It’s a story about resilience. instinct, and a fight to survive that refused to be extinguished. Because sometimes, the most terrifying stories don’t end in darkness. They end with someone finding their way out..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/27/jayme-closs-man-pleads-guilty-to-kidnapping-teenager2.           https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/14/jayme-closs-abduction-wisconsin-first-anniversary-statement3.           https://www.vice.com/en/article/what-we-know-about-jake-thomas-patterson-the-man-accused-of-kidnapping-jayme-closs/4.           https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-484056735.           https://www.aetv.com/articles/why-did-jake-patterson-abduct-teen-jayme-closs-and-kill-her-parents6.  https://www.aetv.com/articles/why-did-jake-patterson-abduct-teen-jayme-closs-and-kill-her-parents

High on the icy slopes of Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand’s largest active volcano, two young climbers set out on what should have been the adventure of a lifetime. At more than 2,500 meters above sea level, the mountain feels completely theirs. As night falls, they settle into a small wooden shelter near the crater lake. Exhausted, satisfied, and unaware that beneath them, the volcano is waking up. Then, at 8:20 PM, everything changes. A deep rumble echoes through the mountain. The shelter door suddenly blasts open. And within seconds, a violent wall of mud, rock, and boiling water crashes through the hut. One climber is slammed against the wall, his leg crushed beneath volcanic debris as the freezing sludge rises around him… trapping him in place like concrete. The other climber is uninjured. But to save his friend, he’ll have to make a terrifying choice. Run down a freezing, erupting volcano in the dark wearing almost nothing. Or stay and watch his friend die. What follows is a desperate race against time, a daring mountain rescue in the dead of night, and the unbelievable survival story of a young teacher who refused to give up—even when death seemed certain. This is the story of survival, resilience, and the moment one volcano changed a life forever. And trust me… You won’t believe what happens next..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1.      https://www.aa.co.nz/membership/aa-directions/features/survival-story-caught-in-a-volcanic-eruption/2.      https://williampike.co.nz/william-pikes-story/3.      https://www.thatslife.com.au/survival/hiking-horror-man-crushed-in-an-erupting-volcano-loses-leg-and-very-nearly-his-life/4.      https://www.ready.gov/volcanoes#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20under%20a%20volcano%20warning%2C,say%20it%20is%20safe%20to%20go%20outside

High in the rugged Pioneer Mountains of Idaho, a young conservation biologist set out for what was supposed to be a simple solo hike. At twenty-five years old, Avery Shawler was experienced, prepared, and deeply familiar with the backcountry. She had climbed countless peaks before. She carried the right gear. She told friends exactly where she was going. But on Labor Day morning in 2016, one small decision on a snowy mountainside changed everything. A loose rock. A sixty-foot fall. And suddenly Avery was stranded halfway up a mountain called Devil’s Bedstead—alone, severely injured, and slowly freezing. With a shattered arm, broken ribs, and a dying phone battery, she faced a terrifying reality: no one knew exactly where she was… and nightfall was coming. As the temperature dropped and hope began to fade, Avery would be forced to rely on every ounce of training, determination, and sheer will to survive. But what happened next would leave rescuers, dispatchers, and even Avery herself wondering if something—or someone—was looking out for her that day. This is the incredible survival story of Avery Shawler… and the mountain that almost became her final climb..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠...1.  https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/hiking-and-backpacking/idaho-fall-survival/2. https://idahonews.com/news/local/hiker-recovering-from-60-ft-fall-at-devils-bedstead-east3.   https://westernlandowners.org/team/avery-shawler/4.  https://www.insidehook.com/culture/inside-harrowing-hike-nearly-killed-solo-adventurer5.      https://onland.westernlandowners.org/author/averyshawler/6.      https://www.mtexpress.com/wood_river_journal/features/the-mountains-give-one-up/article_5231e1d2-811d-11e6-96d8-67ef3b18d1c5.html7.      https://www.idahoaclimbingguide.com/bookupdates/devils-bedstead-east-11865/8.

 It was a quiet summer afternoon in South Carolina. The kind of day that feels completely ordinary until a single moment changes everything. A 15-year-old stood in the front yard, watering plants. Nothing seemed unusual. Then a man pulled up into the driveway. He smiled, he spoke calmly and within seconds, a gun was pressed against her neck. What followed would become one of the most extraordinary survival stories in modern criminal history. This teenager did something almost impossible. She stayed calm and memorized every tiny detail that might one day lead her back out. But what she didn't yet know was that the man who had taken her wasn't just a kidnapper. He was already connected to a series of horrifying crimes hidden in the trees, that had haunted families for years. Missing girls, all found in forested rural areas, unsolved murders, a predator hiding in plain sight. What terrifying secrets would investigators uncover deep in the forests once they finally learned the name of the man who took her? This story doesn't just reveal a survivor. It exposes a killer and the trail of darkness he left behind in the forests. This is the story of Kara Robertson and the moment one girl's determination helped unravel the crimes of a serial predator, with secrets hidden the forests. And it all begins with a knock at the door..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Evonitz2. https://evawintl.org/wp-content/uploads/How-Kara-Robinson-Chamberlain-Survived-%E2%80%94-and-Helped-Catch-%E2%80%94-a-Serial-Killer-_-PEOPLE.com_.pdf3. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-aug-14-na-killer14-story.html

Out in the far reaches of Australia’s Northern Territory, there’s a place where the land feels untouched, unforgiving and very, very alive. A place where the heat presses in, the bush closes around you, and every sound could mean something is watching. This is where seasoned bow hunter Chris McSherry steps in—confident, experienced, and no stranger to danger. For twenty years, he’s tracked some of the wildest animals on Earth. He knows how this works. Or at least… he thinks he does. Because on one quiet morning, deep in the wilderness, he and a friend begin following a trail—fresh blood, leading them deeper into thick, shadowed brush. Somewhere ahead, a massive buffalo is waiting. Wounded. Unpredictable. And far from finished. What starts as a routine hunt quickly turns into something else entirely… something violent… something chaotic. In a matter of seconds, the hunter becomes the hunted. And in a place where help is miles away, survival comes down to instinct, timing, and sheer will. This isn’t just a hunting story. It’s a story about underestimating the wild… and what happens when it refuses to go quietly. Because sometimes… the most dangerous moment… isn’t the shot. It’s what comes after. .Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠...Sources:1.      https://allthatsinteresting.com/chris-mcsherry-gored-by-buffalo2.      https://ntindependent.com.au/buff-is-dead-im-alive-this-time-hunter-1-buffalo-0-5/3.      https://www.elitereaders.com/buffalo-leaves-hunter-with-severe-injuries/4.      https://www.the-sun.com/news/1043932/dying-buffalo-revenge-hunter-attack/5.      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YalangbaraNorthernTerritory6.      https://www.pastmasters.org.au/port-bradshaw.html7.      https://www.agriculture.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/buffalo.pdf8.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MTU5FYIf44&t=26s9.      https://www.theafricanwild.com/survive-the-big-five/#:~:text=to%20be%20submissive.-,Nicholas%20Sheldon%20%2D%20Lead%20Guide%20at%20The%20African%20Wild,cannot%20turn%20left%20when%20charging.10.

The mountains of Big Sky are beautiful, vast, and unforgiving. A place where silence stretches for miles. A place where, if something goes wrong… no one can hear you scream. In the summer of 1984, Kari Swenson was exactly where she was meant to be. A rising star in Biathlon, an Olympic hopeful, and one of the toughest endurance athletes in the country. The wilderness wasn’t dangerous to her—it was her training ground. She knew these trails. She trusted these mountains. Until the day… everything changed. What started as a routine run through the rugged slopes of the Madison Range… became something else entirely. A wrong turn. A chance encounter. Two men who had spent years hiding from society… waiting… watching… living by their own rules. Deep in the wilderness, miles from help, Kari vanished. No phone. No witnesses. No way out. By nightfall, the people at Lone Mountain Ranch knew something was wrong. Kari Swenson was no longer alone. She was being watched. Taken. Dragged deeper into the forest. “They said they needed a woman up in the mountains…” to be a bride. Chained. Threatened. And forced to walk into a nightmare she could not escape. This is the true story of survival, obsession… and the thin line between wilderness and terror.

What happens when a rescued chimpanzee becomes a national hero… and then vanishes into the wild? This week, we’re taking you deep into the forests of Sierra Leone — where gunshots once echoed through the trees, where civil war raged, and where one orphaned chimpanzee rose to become king. His name was Bruno. Torn from his mother by poachers. Sold for $30. Raised in a human home. He would grow into a towering, 200-pound alpha — the heart of the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary. He survived hunters. He survived war. He survived soldiers who threatened to shoot the very animals he protected. And then — on April 23, 2006 — the gates opened. Thirty-one chimpanzees escaped. What followed was chaos in the forest. A violent confrontation between man and Chimp. A nation gripped by shock. And Bruno — the sanctuary’s most famous resident — disappeared. Was it revenge? Panic? Instinct? Or simply a wild animal tasting freedom for the first time since watching his mother die? Camera traps may have captured him years later… larger than the others… moving with a wild troop deep in the reserve. This is the story of King Bruno. And the day he chose the wild..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://underthebanyan.blog/2013/02/04/king-bruno-a-chimpanzees-tale-of-tragedy-and-hope/2.  https://www.terradaily.com/reports/Founding_Chimp_At_Reserve_Could_Have_Turned_Killer.html3. https://newspaper.animalpeopleforum.org/2006/05/01/1st-chimp-at-tacugama-kills-man-leads-escape/4.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFa3Iuyo3HU5. https://www.awf.org/wildlife-conservation/chimpanzee6. https://projectchimps.org/tag/force/7.https://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-or-Survive-a-Monkey-Attack8.

At nine years old, most kids are collecting football cards or dreaming about what they want to be when they grow up. Kieran was studying a poster from the World Wide Fund for Nature — staring into the ancient, armored face of a black rhino and quietly deciding that his life would mean something. Fast forward a decade. Now he’s standing in the South African bush, nearly two miles from the nearest road, part of a foot patrol trained to protect one of the most endangered animals on Earth. No fences. No vehicles. Just thick brush, radio telemetry… and a 1,500-kilogram mother black rhino who suddenly realizes they’re there. What happens next unfolds in seconds. A charge. A scramble for trees. And one young conservationist who doesn’t make it out of the way in time. This isn’t a story about recklessness. It’s about purpose. About the razor-thin line between protection and peril. And about what drives someone to walk straight into danger for an animal that might attack first and ask questions never. In today’s episode, we travel to Northern Zululand in KwaZulu-Natal, where passion meets raw wilderness — and where one split-second decision will test everything Kieran believes about conservation, courage, and fear.

On a cold December morning in the red rock wilderness of Moab, a world-class endurance athlete heads out for what should be a routine training run. She’s conquered the world’s toughest races, pushing through jungles, deserts, and mountains on almost no sleep. Pain is familiar. Risk is calculated. But this time, the desert doesn’t play fair. One invisible patch of ice. One misstep. A sixty-foot fall into a canyon no one can see from the trail. Alone with a shattered pelvis, internal bleeding, and freezing temperatures dropping below zero, she has no phone. No rescue beacon. No way out. Except one. Her dog. As hypothermia closes in and time slips away, a search-and-rescue team races against the clock through Moab’s labyrinth of cliffs and shadow. When a lone reddish-brown dog appears out of nowhere — refusing food, refusing capture — they realize he isn’t lost. He’s leading them. This episode tells the unbelievable true story of survival, loyalty, and the thin line between life and death — where freezing temperatures both threaten and save a life, and a dog becomes the difference between tragedy and miracle. Because sometimes, survival isn’t about strength. It’s about who comes back for you..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠...Sources:1.  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/dec/02/experience-i-fell-down-a-canyon2.  https://www.triathlete.com/culture/ultimate-test-endurance/3. https://soyummy.com/stories/danelle-ballengee-story/4.  https://www.runnersworld.com/trail-running/a20808181/danelle-ballengee-five-years-later/5.  https://www.blm.gov/visit/amasa-back-trailhead6.  https://www.google.com/search?q=moab&sca_esv=3e9ef65a8577b35b&sxsrf=ANbL-n4i_TYPQwGzqrOHAKmHbZ1hS9KXzA%3A1771638541149&source=hp&ei=DQ-ZadX5BeKsmtkP6Mu70AY&iflsig=AFdpzrgAAAAAaZkdHT4E-lHO7rNWhD--lJsEgOFBXcQS&gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwNEgzrTJg9GLJzU9MAgAnugSj&oq=Moab&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IgRNb2FiKgIIADIIEC4YgAQYsQMyCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyCBAAGIAEGLEDMggQABiABBixAzIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgsQABiABBixAxiDATIIEAAYgAQYsQNIwRVQAFgAcAB4AJABAJgBXqABXqoBATG4AQHIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAmuYAwCSBwMwLjGgB9YGsgcDMC4xuAdrwgcDMy0xyAcJgAgA&sclient=gws-wiz7.

It was supposed to be a normal day. A fishing rod, a quiet creek, and two steps into the water. That’s all it took. An eleven-foot saltwater crocodile— striking from behind. Jaws clamp down. Water surges. And the fight for survival begins. For more than thirty minutes, Todd Bairstow fought one of the most powerful predators on Earth, bare-handed and waist-deep in water… with a crocodile trying to drag him under. Death rolls. Shattered bones. And the moment when hope almost disappears. “Help! Croc! Help!” Against impossible odds— and through sheer will— help arrives. This episode tells the unbelievable true story of a man who refused to let go… a dog who never stopped fighting… and a predator that has ruled Australia’s waters for sixty-five million years. This isn’t a tale of luck. It’s a story of survival— at the very edge of the food chain.

On a warm summer afternoon, a family set out on a peaceful float trip down a Missouri river. Only one man would come back. By nightfall, a wife and her fifteen-year-old daughter had vanished—leaving behind a quiet campsite, a burning fire and a story that didn’t quite add up. No signs of a struggle. No footprints in the gravel.  And swimsuits left behind like a question no one could answer. What really happened along the Upper Jacks Fork River? Investigators would uncover secret phone calls, a hidden lover waiting in another state, and a life insurance policy taken out just weeks before tragedy struck. Two bodies would surface. The river would claim drowning. But the evidence would point somewhere darker. And at the center of it all—one man, insisting on his innocence… while the details told a different story. In this episode, we unravel a case of betrayal, motive, and a family torn apart—where the truth may have been carried away by the current… or buried beneath it.

It started as a perfect fall day in the mountains—four college wrestlers, fresh air, and a side adventure meant to make a little extra cash. No crowds. No warnings. Just miles of rugged trail on the edge of Yellowstone and the confidence that comes with youth, strength, and friendship. But in the wild, strength doesn’t always matter. In a matter of seconds, laughter turned into chaos, and a casual hike became a fight for survival against one of North America’s most powerful predators. What followed was a brutal, unthinkable test of loyalty—where one young man made a split-second decision that would cost him blood, flesh, and nearly his life… to save a friend. This is the story of Brady and Kendell—two wrestlers forged into brothers by the mat and bound forever by a grizzly bear encounter they were never supposed to survive..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/35820049/college-wrestlers-grizzly-bear-attack2. https://abcnews.go.com/US/college-wrestlers-ambushed-gruesome-grizzly-bear-attack-hunting/story?id=916620593. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/19/us/college-wrestlers-bear-attack4. https://www.blm.gov/visit/bobcat-houlihan-trail5. https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/shoshone6. https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/college-wrestlers-ambushed-gruesome-grizzly-bear-attack-hunting-916620597. https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/wildlife-management/photos-wyoming-wrestlers-fight-off-grizzly-attack-with-bare-hands

On a flawless spring day in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, three young climbers chased the kind of freedom only high places can offer. They believed they understood risk—and that the mountain would give them time to react. They were wrong. What began as a routine ascent up Eagle Peak would unravel in seconds, when the mountain itself came crashing down. An avalanche, a violent fall, a best friend lost, and one survivor left broken, buried, and alone in the silence above the world. But this is not just a story about survival. It’s a story about friendship, guilt, trauma, and the long shadow a single moment can cast over an entire lifetime. About the words said just in time—and the ones that echo forever. This is the story of the avalanche that changed everything and of the long road back—from the edge of the mountain, and from the edge of the mind..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:1.   https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/avalanche-survival-grief-guilt-chugach-alaska/2.  https://avalanche.org/avalanche-encyclopedia/avalanche/avalanche-type/3. https://alaskahikesearch.com/hikes/eagle-peak/4.  https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/blog/when-snow-becomes-deadly-how-survive-avalanche5.                 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/aug/15/how-we-survive-an-avalanche-injured-me-and-killed-my-friend-here-is-how-i-faced-the-ptsd-addiction-and-guilt6.https://alaskapublic.org/news/2022-02-17/alaska-avalanche-survivor-and-winning-essayist-spent-years-digging-out-of-ptsd7. https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/p0bwn3028.

The Sahara doesn’t chase you. It waits. He was an Olympian, A professional athlete. A man trained to endure pain longer than most people can stand. And still… the desert erased him. Lost during one of the world’s most brutal ultramarathons, Mauro Prosperi watched rescue fly straight past him. No signal. No water. No witnesses. For nine and a half days, he wandered deeper into the Sahara—drinking his own urine… eating snakes, bats, and ants… cutting his shoes apart to keep walking. Inside an abandoned shrine, convinced he would never be found, he made a decision that should have ended everything. But the desert had other plans. What happens when death stops feeling like the enemy? When survival becomes instinct…and the impossible simply doesn’t exist? This is not just a story about getting lost. It’s a story about walking out of the desert reborn. This is the true survival story of Mauro Prosperi..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jul/04/how-we-survive-mauro-prosperi-lost-desert-raw-bats-urine2.  https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-300464263.  https://marathondessables.com/en/4. https://www.offgridweb.com/survival/alone-in-the-sahara-the-survival-story-of-mauro-prosperi/5.

They went to the mountains to celebrate love. They came back with a body at the bottom of a cliff. In 2012, Toni Henthorn vanished during a remote hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Her husband said it was a tragic accident—a slip, a fall, a moment of bad luck. And at first, authorities believed him. But the mountains don’t keep secrets forever. As investigators retraced their steps, the story began to fracture. And a man whose past was far darker than anyone imagined. Because this wasn’t the first time one of his wives had died alone with him… in a remote place… under strange circumstances. What looked like a perfect marriage unraveled into a web of lies, control, and carefully planned death—hidden in plain sight. This is the story of a man who staged accidents… and the investigators who refused to stop asking why. This is a tale of love, deception, and a fall that was anything but accidental..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1. https://abcnews.go.com/US/colorado-man-pushing-wife-off-cliff-exposed-decades/story?id=1184822172. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-man-sentenced-life-pushing-wife-death-cliff-n4767263.           https://www.mycoloradoparks.com/national-parks/rmnp/rocky-mountain-wife-killer-harold-henthorn/4.           https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2023/10/11/10th-circuit-dismisses-appeal-of-man-convicted-for-pushing-wife-off-cliff-a1446166-684f-11ee-97b0-4ff7e1b4c841/5.           https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/investigation-leads-to-murder-conviction-in-the-rockies.htm6.

It was just after ten in the morning. A quiet field, a familiar path, and a routine that had never felt dangerous, until it was. From the brush, a shadow moved. Silent. Spotted. Watching. What followed was not a hunt… it was a fight for survival. One woman, one sickle, and one of the world’s most elusive predators. For nearly half an hour, courage clashed with claws in a battle no one was meant to survive.

In war, heroes are usually measured by the weight of the rifle they carry… and the blood they leave behind. But in the mountains of Korea, during the Korean War, one Marine carried war on four hooves. She hauled ammunition through gun fire. Learned to run to bunkers when someone yelled “Incoming!” And when men couldn’t move fast enough— she went alone. Fifty-one supply runs in a single day. Shrapnel wounds. Purple Hearts. They didn’t call her a mascot. They gave her rank. This is the true story of Reckless— the war horse who became a United States Marine, became the highest ranking animal in the military, and a hero of Outpost Vegas. Because sometimes, the bravest soul on the battlefield never fires a weapon. .Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:1.https://sgtreckless.com/about-reckless2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_Reckless3. https://www.tearsofawarrior.com/category/sgt-reckless/4.https://www.horsejournals.com/popular/history-heritage/sergeant-reckless-true-hero-and-inspiration5.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War6.https://archive.nytimes.com/cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/09/remembering-a-beloved-horse-and-decorated-marine/7.

The forest is quiet… until it isn’t. One step. One sharp pain. And in an instant, the wilderness turns lethal. Deep in Alabama’s Bankhead National Forest—where waterfalls hide ancient stone carvings and trails vanish into shadow—a rattlesnake strike sets off a race against time. With no cell service, venom spreading fast, and night closing in, survival depends on split-second decisions and a rescue that may not come in time. Rattlesnake venom doesn’t wait. Neither does death. This episode of Wilderness Bonescapes dives into the brutal reality of venomous bites, the thin line between adventure and disaster, and what happens when nature reminds us who’s really in control.

Two friends set out for a simple three-day hike in New Zealand’s Arthur’s Pass their adventure turned into a nightmare. Stranded on a ledge no bigger than a table for Ten days. No shelter. No food. No way down. And no guarantee anyone was still searching. As storms raged, their bodies began to fail; trench foot, hypothermia, exhaustion. Their only mission: Stay awake or die.

In the dead of an Alaskan winter… one man’s dream of living off the grid turned into a nightmare of fire, ice, and isolation. Tyson Steele woke to flames chewing through the roof above him — a spark, a mistake, a moment that would cost him everything he owned… and the one companion who never left his side. With his cabin collapsing in a storm of explosions, temperatures plummeting below -40, Tyson stepped into the wilderness wearing little more than boots and long johns and watched his world disappear into smoke. For 23 days he fought the cold, the hunger, and the crushing silence. The terrible question: Who would know he was missing? And would help arrive before the cold claimed him?.Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:1.      https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/outdoor/man-survives-23-days-alaska/2.      https://dps.alaska.gov/getmedia/4d477f96-1d92-4082-8ec9-76dd97580108/Winter-Fire-Survivor_1-10-2020

On a quiet North Carolina farm, Christmas Day should’ve been filled with warmth… laughter… and the scent of Fannie Lawson’s fresh-baked cake. But in 1929, something else was stirring inside the Lawson home— something cold…something twisted…something waiting. Neighbors would later swear they heard the screams. By sundown, eight members of the Lawson family lay dead. All except one. Sixteen-year-old Arthur Lawson—spared by chance… or by design. As the town descended into morbid curiosity—rumors began to twist into something darker. A secret whispered by a niece. A truth buried in a shallow grave. And a haunting that refuses to let go..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:1.  https://ashevilleterrors.com/madison-dry-goods-lawson-family-murder-museum/#:~:text=While%20families%20gathered%20around%2C%20sharing,bound%20to%20the%20country%20store.2.   https://myfox8.com/miniseries/deadly-secrets/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWhenever%20I%20went%20in%20there,funeral%20at%20a%20private%20cemetery.3.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_family_murders

In the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta—where beauty and danger live side by side—two lives were changed forever in two separate hippo attacks in the same month. First, former Miss South Africa Diana Tilden-Davis was guiding her canoe through a shallow narrow channel when the Delta struck. A stressed, starving hippo surged upward, its jaws clamping around her leg, dragging her into a desperate fight for survival. Weeks prior, newlyweds Janice and Bruce Simpson drifted into paradise… and straight into a nightmare. A massive hippo, hidden in the reeds, exploded from the water with unimaginable force—shattering their canoe, and ending Janice’s life in an instant. A dream honeymoon turned to horror. Two attacks. One unforgiving wilderness. And a single haunting truth: In the Okavango Delta, the most dangerous predator… isn’t always the one you see coming...Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Audible⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ..Amazon Music Unlimited⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1.      https://iol.co.za/news/south-africa/2003-12-25-former-miss-sa-recovers-after-hippo-attack/2.      http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3346735.stm3.      https://www.thetimes.com/comment/register/article/hippo-bites-beauty-queen-8c3x6803lft4.      https://iol.co.za/news/africa/2003-12-11-husband-sees-hippo-bite-out-wifes-heart/5.      https://www.awf.org/wildlife-conservation/hippopotamus6.      https://a-z-animals.com/animals/hippopotamus/what-is-a-hippos-bite-force/7.      https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/hippopotamus8.      https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/hippo9.      https://www.britannica.com/place/Zambezi-River/Climate10. https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/facts-about-hippos11. https://iol.co.za/news/south-africa/2004-01-02-long-road-to-recovery-for-former-beauty-queen/12.

Long before Thanksgiving became a day of parades, football, and picture-perfect feasts, it was something far more unsettling. Buried beneath the legend of harmony and shared tables is a truth few dare to look at directly—a truth written in smoke, gunpowder, and the cries of a people whose story was nearly erased. In this episode, we peel back the polished myth and step into the shadows of the 1600s, where alliances were fragile, survival was desperate, and gratitude often came at a brutal cost.

In November of 1989, twenty-two-year-old Eloise Lindsay disappeared into the wilderness of South Carolina’s Table Rock State Park. She went in alone… to think about her future, her purpose, her next step in life. What she found instead… was terror. Two men began following her through the trees. She could hear them whispering… talking about her. When rescue teams were finally sent in, Eloise didn’t call back. She couldn’t. Because if she spoke — they’d find her. For two weeks, she hid from the very people trying to save her. When she was found, blistered and dehydrated, her story terrified everyone who heard it. She’d been hunted. Watched. Tracked. But what if those men were never there at all? Was Eloise Lindsay truly being stalked in the woods that November…or was she running from something that lived only in her mind?

They used to say bear attacks were rare. That if you stayed on the trails, respected the woods, you’d be safe. But not anymore. Across Japan, bears are currently showing up in towns—supermarkets, homes, schools, even train stations. 13 people dead, and counting. Over a hundred injured. The government is calling in the military. Join us as we dig into Japan’s current escalating bear crisis—what’s really happening in the forests, and how climate, human behavior, and chaos intertwine. You’ll also hear the harrowing survival story of Kiwi, who came face to face with a bear during Japan's bear invasion—and lived to tell what it’s really like when nature decides you’re the prey...Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.....Sources:1.      https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20251027_16/#:~:text=Japan's%20Environment%20Ministry%20says%2010,Iwate's%2010%20and%20Fukushima's%20eight.2.      https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/10/08/japan-bear-attack-supermarket/5671759928293/3.      https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/asia/japan-bear-supermarket-attac-intl-hnk4.      https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bears-kill-record-number-people-japan-2025/#:~:text=Experts%20say%20warmer%20weather%20is,where%20he%20was%20found%20dead.5.      http://www.nikkoyumoto-vc.com/english/nature/kuma.html#:~:text=After%20having%20accumulated%20fat%20from%20eating%20acorns,it%20is%20also%20called%20fuyugomori%20(winter%20confinement.)6.      https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Ursus_thibetanus/7.      https://www.bearbiology.org/the-eight-bear-species/ursus-thibetanus-asiatic-black-bear/#:~:text=They%20(%20Asiatic%20black%20bears%20)%20are,Russian%20Far%20East%2C%20and%20possibly%20North%20Korea.8.      https://animalia.bio/ussuri-brown-bear#:~:text=In%20Hokkaido%2C%20the%20brown%20bears'%20diet%20includes,are%20largely%20caused%20by%20feeding%20on%20crops.9.      https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/bear-sizes-side-comparisons-chart-cartoon-2435673195

In the deep woods of Northern California, two brothers thought they were alone while out hunting for antler sheds. But something was watching. When the mountain lion struck, the forest erupted into chaos — a fight for survival between 2 brothers… and nature’s most silent predator. It was California’s first fatal mountain lion attack in twenty years.

In a remote monastery hidden in the mountains of Romania, a young nun was bound to a cross in a desperate attempt to drive out the Devil. Three days later, she was dead. Was it faith gone too far… or something truly unholy?

All across the world, there are places where the laws of nature seem to bend — where science meets something darker, quieter, and far less understood. Explanations flicker in and out — minerals, gas, reflections of light — yet the timing, the precision, the eerie beauty of it all feels too deliberate to be random. Some of these natural wonders have been captured, studied, decoded. Others remain stubbornly beyond reason, daring us to look closer — and question what’s really at work beneath the surface of our world. Because sometimes, what we call a “natural phenomenon” feels anything but natural. And when the night deepens, and the wind starts to whisper through the canyons and the trees…you have to wonder — what if the Earth itself is haunted?.Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Kindle Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/subscribe/ku?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=a7af85340487b2c5ca0fba05a7b31d39&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:Sources:1.      https://www.visitnc.com/devils-tramping-ground2.      https://www.theoriginaldevilstrampingground.com/3.      https://www.northcarolinahauntedhouses.com/real-haunt/devils-tramping-ground.html#:~:text=A%20staple%20of%20local%20lore,are%20gone%20by%20the%20morning.4.      https://www.livescience.com/43519-taos-hum.html5.      https://hub.jhu.edu/2023/06/26/blood-falls-mystery/6.      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darvaza_gas_crater7.      https://www.nationalparks.org/connect/blog/sailing-stones-death-valley8.      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessdalen_lights9.      https://sharonahill.com/earthquake-lights-revisited-more-evidence-emerging/10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_circle_(arid_grass_formation)#:~:text=Fairy%20circles%20are%20circular%20patches,the%20Pilbara%20in%20Western%20Australia.11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_circle_(arid_grass_formation)#:~:text=Fairy%20circles%20are%20circular%20patches,the%20Pilbara%20in%20Western%20Australia.12. https://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/lake-natron-the-deadly-lake-that-turns-animals-into-stone/13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moeraki_Boulders14.

In 19th-century Galicia, Spain, a small, soft-spoken tailor named Manuel Blanco Romasanta offered to guide people through the mountains of Spain. Many of whom, did not return and were never heard from again. Manuel later confessed to murdering at least nine people, mostly women and children. When captured, he claimed he was cursed to become a wolf, doomed to kill and feed on human flesh during his transformations. Some called him mad, others believed him truly cursed. Though sentenced to death, his execution was mysteriously halted for scientific study — and his final fate remains uncertain. Some records say he died in prison. Others say the Wolf of Allariz still roams the Galician woods, forever hunting beneath the moon...Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Kindle Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/subscribe/ku?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=a7af85340487b2c5ca0fba05a7b31d39&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠..Sources:1.           https://phmuseum.com/galleries/lobismuller2.           https://galiciaalive.com/en_US/manuel-blanco-romasanta-historia-persoal/3.           https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Blanco_Romasanta4.           https://galiciaalive.com/en_US/manuel-blanco-romasanta-asasinatos/5.           https://galiciaalive.com/en_US/manuel-blanco-romasanta-licantropo/6.           https://galiciaalive.com/en_US/manuel-blanco-romasanta-misticismo/7.           https://www.serialkillercalendar.com/Manuel%20BLANCO%20ROMASANTA.php8.           https://www.werewolves.com/the-werewolf-of-allariz/9.

Deep in the woods, where the trees swallow the last traces of sunlight, forgotten asylums crumble in silence. Once filled with screams and cries, these rotting halls still hold the echoes of cruelty and despair. Patients were locked away, punished, and abandoned—many never left alive. Their restless spirits linger, pacing the corridors, whispering through cracked walls, and watching from shattered windows. The forest has reclaimed the buildings, but inside, the dark happenings of the past play on endlessly… a nightmare that refuses to die. In this fireside chat, we explore many forgotten Asylums in the wilderness.Asylums stands today not only as a ruin, but as a memorial to the countless lives once confined within its walls. Here, men, women, and children were subjected to cruelty, neglect, and treatments that stripped them of dignity. Their stories—many silenced and forgotten—remain etched in the crumbling plaster, in the abandoned rooms, and in the earth where so many were laid to rest without recognition. Though the asylums are now silent, it serves as a solemn reminder of the human cost. It also stands as a call to remember the resilience of those who endured and to honor their memory by ensuring such injustices are never repeated. To walk these grounds is to confront the darkness of the past, and to carry forward the lesson that every human being deserves compassion, dignity, and care..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Sales ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Audible ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlp⁠⁠encoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Kindle Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/subscribe/ku?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=a7af85340487b2c5ca0fba05a7b31d39&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Amazon Music Unlimited ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...Sources:1. http://www.preservepennhurst.org/default.aspx?pg=36#2. https://phillyghosts.com/the-chilling-legacy-of-pennhurst-asylum/3. https://usghostadventures.com/haunted-places/americas-most-haunted-hospitals-and-asylums/pennhurst-asylum/4. https://nocamerabag.com/blog/abandoned-beelitz-hospital5. https://moonmausoleum.com/hauntingly-beelitz-heilstatten-hospital/6.https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/ospedale-psichiatrico-di-volterra7. https://www.tuscany-villas.it/to-tuscany/2019/curiosities/7028718. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/pool-park-asylum9. https://www.deccanchronicle.com/lifestyle/viral-and-trending/271018/haunted-house-with-spirits-included-goes-on-sale.html10. https://moonmausoleum.com/gonjiam-psychiatric-hospital/11.Chat GPT was used to enhance this episode

In 1972, sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma vanished from her Springfield, New Jersey home. Six weeks later, a dog carried back a human arm—leading to her body, eerily perched atop a cliff locals called the Devil’s Teeth. Rumors swirled of wooden crosses, cult rituals, and Satanic sacrifice though police denied any occult ties.

Beneath the canopy of North America’s wild places something quietly unravels. Hikers vanish from trailheads and backcountry ridgelines as if swallowed by the land itself — sometimes never to be heard from again, sometimes found miles from where they disappeared, and sometimes returned with no memory of what happened. Most of these vanishings cluster in deep national park wildernesses — remote pockets where the map ends and the stories begin. The public debate rages over whether this is coincidence, misadventure, or something stranger.We’ll dive into the science, then the cases themselves.

Lake Shawnee Amusement Park looks like just another abandoned carnival ground, but its soil hides a chilling past. Built in 1926, the park saw at least six children die in tragic accidents—a girl struck on the swings, two brothers falling from the Ferris wheel, and others lost to the water. When attempts were made to revive the park decades later, excavations revealed thousands of Native American skeletons buried beneath the rides Long before the park, the land was marked by bloodshed—in the 1700s, the Clay family lost three children in violence. Today, rusting rides sway without wind, pinwheels spin at unseen commands, and visitors claim to see the ghostly figures.
