  Left for Dead: Hohe Tauern National Park 02.11.2026 1h 23m

  In the early hours of January 19th, 2025 Kerstin Gurtner died of hypothermia on Austria’s tallest mountain. Her boyfriend and climbing partner, Thomas Plamberger, maintains his version of events - that he left Kerstin behind to get help - but not everyone believed him. Kerstin’s death and the circumstances surrounding it launched a global discussion focused on the phenomenon of “alpine divorce”, and how trusting your partner can sometimes quite literally mean the difference between life and death.

  England’s Most Notorious Witch Trial: Pendle Forest 26.10.2026 1h 14m

  In 1612, a chance encounter on a road in rural Lancashire sparked an accusation of witchcraft that would grow into one of the most notorious witch trials in English history. As one accusation led to another, old rivalries resurfaced, family members turned against one another, and stories of curses, familiars and secret gatherings drew more and more people into the investigation. What began with one young woman would soon engulf an entire community, leaving families destroyed and multiple people condemned to the gallows.

  The Vampire Clan Murders: Land Between the Lake National Recreation Area 19.10.2026 1h 16m

  In 1996, a troubled 16-year-old boy named Rod Ferrell believed he was a 500-year old-vampire. He formed a small group of local teens in Murray, Kentucky obsessed with vampire roleplaying, blood drinking, and occult beliefs. The roleplaying took a serious turn when Rod broke into the home of Richard Wendorf and Naomi Ruth Queen - the parents of clan member Heather Wendorf - and beat them to death. What followed became a media sensation, and has been remembered as the Vampire Clan Murders.  See us in LIVE on tour in Boston or New York !

  Best Friend Killer: Angeles National Forest 12.10.2026 1h 22m

  In October 1985, 17-year-old Missy Avila left her home in California's San Fernando Valley to spend the afternoon with friends and never came home. Three days later, two hikers made a horrifying discovery in Angeles National Forest. As Missy's family desperately searched for answers, the people closest to them offered comfort and promised to help find her killer. However, the truth about what happened to Missy was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

  Making a Monster: Werewolf Hiking Trail 05.10.2026 1h 1m

  Before America had witch trials, Europe had werewolf trials - and they were as dark as they sound. One of the most infamous cases of time was that of Peter Stumpp, a man who was convicted and executed for serial murder, cannibalism, incest, and practicing black magic to transform into a werewolf. The Werewolf of Bedbug has cemented its place in German history not only for its gruesome nature, but as an example of a case in which people focused on villainizing wolves. Looking back on the case in present day, it ultimately revealed that the depths of human depravity seem to know no bounds.  Vote for us to win a Signal Award for Best Roadtrip Podcast!

  The Schoolhouse Blizzard: Homestead National Historical Park 21.09.2026 1h 3m

  On January 12th, 1888 during an unusually mild winter day, a sudden and deadly storm descended onto the American Midwest. Hurricane force winds, blinding snow and plummeting temperatures caught hundreds completely off guard. The historic storm was nicknamed the Children’s Blizzard or the Schoolhouse Blizzard as many of the victims were children attempting to find their way home through the storm from their one-room schoolhouses. While hundreds perished, stories of brave teachers and students alike emerged in the aftermath. COME SEE US ON TOUR - LIMITED TICKETS LEFT!

  The Most Hated Man in Yellowstone: Yellowstone National Park 07.09.2026 1h 15m

  It’s hard to get an entire National Park to hate you … unless your name is EC Waters. Considered one of the most despised men to have ever stepped foot in Yellowstone, Waters left his mark - for better or worse - on the world’s first park. The owner of the first boating company to operate on Yellowstone Lake, he was obnoxious, petty and ran a zoo from hell. He was kicked out of the park multiple times before being exiled forever, but his namesake - a ship that bears his name - can still be seen in Yellowstone today.

  The U.S. Forest Service’s Deadliest Aviation Disaster: Nez Perce National Forest 31.08.2026 1h 12m

  In June 1979, a group of U.S. Forest Service employees and volunteers boarded a routine flight into the remote Idaho backcountry to begin another summer season at the Moose Creek Ranger District. They never arrived. When both engines of their DC-3 failed over the narrow Selway River canyon, the pilots fought to keep the powerless aircraft in the air as the passengers prepared for the worst. What followed was a remarkable story of survival, an enormous wilderness rescue effort, and an investigation that uncovered the failures behind the deadliest aviation disaster in U.S. Forest Service history.
