American Urban Legends Series - Part 2

Author: Locations Unknown May 26, 2020 Duration: 55:43
America, a melting pot filled with diverse cultures, beautiful natural wonders, and a historic sense of exploration. Among the vast beauty of our wilderness, there also lies a more sinister side.  Throughout the ages, a haunting collection of nightmares and tales of the unexplainable have been passed down generation to generation.  Stories of bloodthirsty creatures lurking in the dark, strange lights in the night sky, and vengeful ghouls forever cursed to wander haunted forests. These are the stories that give us pause while hiking in remote areas of the country, and fill our heads with dread before falling asleep in our tents at night.   On this weeks episode, we discuss ghostly sounds from Wood Island, the many horrors of Turnbull Canyon, and the strange sightings of "The Hairy Many of The Vergas Trails."  Listen to part 1 of our American Urban Legend series here: https://locationsunknown.podbean.com/e/ep-18-american-urban-legend-series-part-1/   The sponsor of this weeks episode is - Payoff.com.  Payoff.com helps people get out from high interest debt by consolidating into a low APR personal loan.  A Payoff Loan is a personal loan, backed by member-centric credit unions, designed to help you pay off your credit cards.

Locations Unknown ventures into the silent, vast spaces where people have simply gone missing. Hosts Mike & Joe guide each episode through a specific case, piecing together timelines from the final known moments, through the often-frustrating official searches, and into the lingering questions that haunt families and park rangers alike. This isn't just a true crime podcast; it’s a close look at the intersection of human error, unpredictable nature, and the peculiar geography of places like dense national forests and isolated mountain ranges that can swallow a person whole. You’ll hear about the decisions made in the critical hours, the terrain that complicated everything, and the community of experts and amateurs who keep looking. The show naturally explores how these landscapes, while beautiful, hold secrets, making the wilderness itself a central character in every story. Tune in for a respectful, detailed examination of stories that end not with a conclusion, but with an open map and a deepened mystery. The podcast digs into the cultural fascination with these vanishings and what they reveal about our relationship with the wild, remote corners of the country.
