In this episode, things get spooky with the paranormal side of Badlands National Park. We get into the history, from the brutal conditions Native American tribes and settlers faced, which apparently stirred up some ghostly legends.
Then, we talk all about the haunted spots, like Cedar Pass Lodge, and dive into the infamous Banshee of the Badlands—a spirit with a mix of reputations, sometimes seen as a fierce protector, other times as a lost soul searching for her family. We’ll cover stories of eerie encounters, from sightings of the mysterious Woman in White to the stoic Lone Sentinel, who people swear they’ve seen guarding the landscape. And of course, we’ll share some tips on how to plan a visit to the Badlands if you’re curious about exploring the haunted and beautiful mysteries of the park for yourself.

This episode we’re diving (pun intended) into the eerie and mysterious side of Crater Lake National Park. It’s got all the spooky vibes: curses, ghosts, missing people, and of course, Bigfoot.
Legend has it, ancient spirits of a god of the underworld named Lao, who brought some bad juju to the area. Apparently, some of that curse still lingers. Spoiler: Don’t anger ancient spirits.
The Crater Lake Lodge has its very own haunted happenings, including a little ghost girl who likes to roam the halls. And don’t forget about the Native American spirits who might just pop up to say hello. But, you know, in a spooky ghost way.
Wizard Island might just be haunted by the souls of those who died when Mount Mazama collapsed 7,000 years ago. Or maybe it’s Lao, still holding a grudge? Either way, Wizard Island isn’t just beautiful, it’s beautifully creepy!
What’s more unsettling than a haunted island? Silent zones! These areas around the lake supposedly cause people to disappear without a trace.
And finally, what spooky national park adventure would be complete without a Bigfoot sighting? There have been reports of Bigfoot making guest appearances around the lake. Maybe he’s just as confused about the silent zones as we are?

Summary
Voyageurs National Park, located in Minnesota, was established in 1975 and is home to the Chippewa or Ojibwe people. The park's lakes and waterways were important for fur trading between the French and Indigenous populations. The park was named after the French Canadian voyagers who paddled long distances to trade furs. The abandoned gold mines in the park were operational from 1893 to 1898 during the Rainy Lake Gold Rush. The park also features ice caves near Lake Superior, a mysterious waterfall called Devil's Kettle, a floating post office, and sightings of a rare white moose. The park is designated as a dark sky sanctuary, making it ideal for stargazing.

Today we're exploring the paranormal side of Shenandoah National Park.
If you're looking for a haunted place to stay, I've got just the place! Skyland Resort is full of interesting paranormal encounters. Or you can stay right on Corbin Cabin Trail, where Mrs. Corbin is sure to make her presence know to you - EEK.
And for all you hikers that like a little extra spookiness, the old civil war trails are lined with abandoned cemeteries and settlements - the perfect recipe for those still looking to live their best life, even in death.
Cryptids in Shenandoah? Definitely! I'll be talking about the mysterious Wampus Cat - guardian or villain? I'll let you decide.

Today, we're diving into the paranormal side of Denali National Park, Alaska.
Looking for a haunted hotel? The Historic Anchorage Hotel is full of spooky activity that'll keep you up all night!
Ever wondered how many bodies are currently on Mount Denali? Take a guess, then tune in to find out if you're right.
You've probably heard of the Bermuda Triangle (not sure why that one is so popular), but have you heard of the Alaskan Triangle? Way more people have disappeared here—it's mind-blowing!
We'll wrap up with a couple of mythical creatures: the Keelut and the Wendigo. Check out Instagram for pictures, but beware—the Wendigo is seriously terrifying!

Hey guys! Let's take a look at the paranormal side of these beautiful islands. I'll admit, before we did this episode, I didn't even know about Channel Islands National Park! Now, here we are, looking for spectral sailors who never made back to shore, hoping to find buried treasure (which may or may not be cursed), and watching out for departed lighthouse keepers still roaming the halls.
As always, we need a fun place to stay too! The Glen Tavern Inn is just a hop, skip, and jump-scare away from the islands. Learn about its history of poker games and prohibition-era shenanigans (where Ashlee would most likely run the speakeasy and be a flapper?), now a cozy spot where you can sleep like the dead—literally - eek!
