  • Ghosts in the Arctic - The Haunting Mystery of Franklin's Lost Expedition

    Ghosts in the Arctic - The Haunting Mystery of Franklin's Lost Expedition
    Oct 31 2024
    In 1845, Sir John Franklin led 129 men on HMS Erebus and HMS Terror into the Arctic, vanishing without a trace and sparking one of history’s most haunting mysteries. This Halloween, we explore the eerie legacy of the Franklin Expedition: ghostly sightings around the shipwrecks, chilling whispers near graves on Beechey Island, and cursed artifacts that bring misfortune to those who dare disturb them. Was it lead poisoning, starvation, or something supernatural that doomed the crew? Join us as we dive into the deep end of the Arctic’s frozen secrets and uncover what happened to Sir John Franklins Northwest passage expedition.

  • Veteran Park Ranger Vanishes in Chiricahua National Monument

    Veteran Park Ranger Vanishes in Chiricahua National Monument
    Oct 18 2024
    On a quiet afternoon in January 1980, veteran park ranger Paul Fugate set out on a routine patrol in Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument, promising to return shortly. He was never seen again. Despite extensive searches, not a single trace of him was found. Was it a tragic accident in the rugged wilderness, or did something more sinister happen? Join us as we revisit the mysterious disappearance of Paul Fugate. (Episode 114)

    We first covered this case back on December 1, 2018. At that time, no other podcasts had covered Paul's case and very few shows were even focusing on wilderness disappearances. Since then, the wilderness disappearances sub-genre has exploded with amazing shows like Park Predators & National Park After Dark. With our 6 year anniversary coming up fast, we thought it would be fun to redo our first episode from the ground up, so we ditched the original show notes and came into the case fresh, with new perspectives on what might have happened. Hope you enjoy the episode and let us know how EP 114 compares with EP1! We can't thank you enough for sticking with us for 6 years and we're looking forward to many more years to come!

    EP. #112: Tom Leonard - Spatsizi Provincial Park - British Columbia - Canada
    Sep 20 2024
    On September 11, 2005, experienced outdoorsman and hunter, Tom Leonard, embarked on what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. Armed with a rare, limited-entry permit to hunt sheep in the remote and rugged Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, he meticulously planned a 10-day hunt, packing enough supplies for an additional 10 days, just in case. But when Tom failed to return home, his worried wife alerted authorities, sparking a massive search through one of Canada's most unforgiving landscapes.

    What happened to Tom Leonard? Was it the treacherous terrain, unpredictable weather, or something far more sinister lurking in the wilderness?

    Join us this week as we dive into the unsolved mystery of Tom Leonard’s disappearance, the search efforts, and the questions that remain unanswered to this day.
