You thought you knew these National Parks, but some of the most common areas you visit are riddled with lesser-known spots and stories within. On this podcast, we tell you anything from true crime events that happened to interesting facts about strange and unusual places around the world.

  1. The Cabin That Never Sleeps

    SEP 29

    The Cabin That Never Sleeps

    Got a second to get creeped out with us? This week Ashlee probably got haunted.  We're taking you deep into the wilderness of Wyoming — remote cabin, questionable vibes, and a night that turned very weird. Let’s just say there were things that went bump in the night… and possibly chanted in the dark. Ash spills the tea on a real-life scarefest involving a cabin, a sleepwalking friend, and something that will make us all question reality. You’ll laugh, you’ll shiver, and you’ll maybe sleep with the lights on. But hey, that’s why you’re here, right? We’re talking energy, history, and the very thin veil between “this is fine” and “oh no, we’re definitely haunted.”  So grab your cozy blanket, maybe a flashlight, and let’s get haunted together. And if you’ve got your own eerie tale? You know we need to hear it!

  2. The Little Boy Who Haunts 13 Bends PA

    The Little Boy Who Haunts 13 Bends PA

    They say if you drive down the winding road of 13 Bends in Pennsylvania late at night, you’ll never feel truly alone. The trees close in, the air grows heavy, and some swear the shadows bend just as sharply as the road itself. But the most chilling tale isn’t about the turns or the darkness—it’s about a little boy. A boy who doesn’t belong to this world anymore. Some drivers claim to see him at the side of the road, pale and silent, watching them pass. Others say he suddenly appears in the middle of the lane, forcing them to slam on their brakes, only for him to vanish without a trace. And the unlucky few? They say he follows—his faint footsteps echoing through the night until the bends are behind you… or until you realize he’s sitting quietly in your back seat. Tonight, we’ll explore the haunted legend of 13 Bends, and the little boy who refuses to let go.

    The Creepiest Legends in Alaska

    Ready to wander into the wild, weird corners of Wrangell–St. Elias?  Alaska’s biggest, most remote park… and suddenly, you’re not so sure you’re alone.  This week, we’re talking about ghost miners, mysterious lodges, and maybe even a creature that’ll make you rethink venturing out after dark. Whispers in abandoned mines, figures that don’t quite belong, and some folklore that’s equal parts “what the heck” and “nope, I’m sleeping with the lights on.” So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let us drag you (lovingly) into Alaska’s creepiest legends and ghost stories.

    The Takedown No One Expected

    You know those moments where you accidentally hurt the people you love the most?  In this episode, we’re pulling you right into our kitchen-table storytelling as we relive some of the funniest, most ridiculous “oops” moments that somehow became family legends. From wrestling mats to everyday chaos, we’re talking about the weird ways pain turns into comedy when you’ve got a mother-daughter duo like us. So grab a seat, lean in, and get ready to laugh with (and maybe at) us — because you’ll probably end up thinking about your own family’s “remember when…” stories by the end of this one.

  5. Real Ghost on Camera; The Betsy Ross House

    SEP 8

    Real Ghost on Camera; The Betsy Ross House

    In this episode, we’re bringing you (our favorite listener) right into the heart of a story that has a bit of American history, a bit of the paranormal, and a whole lot of “uhh, what is that in the background of this photo??” We’re talking skeptical eyebrows, ghostly legends, and the kind of creepy historical facts that make you want to double-check your closet before bed. (Spoiler: the phrase “saved by the bell” is way more terrifying than it sounds.) Plus, we may or may not confess how often we spiral into ghost story TikTok before sleeping with the lights on. Again. So grab your comfiest blanket, maybe don’t sit tooclose to any antique mirrors, and get ready for a weird, wild ride through history, hauntings, and the slightly unhinged corners of our brains.

  6. Free Freezer with Mystery Meat

    SEP 3

    Free Freezer with Mystery Meat

    Ash finds something on the street (because of course she does), and let’s just say it’s not the kind of “freebie” you’d ever want in your house. Things get weird… fast. And then, because one questionable life choice isn’t enough, Ash also decides to “rescue” an animal that turns out to be… well… let’s just say not exactly your average pup. We’re laughing, we’re cringing, and we’re definitely questioning Ash’s decision-making skills—but honestly, that’s what makes this episode so good. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it.

    The Dark Side of Being an Empath

    In today’s episode, we’re diving into the spooky world of energy transference – and trust us, you’re going to want to know about this one! We’re chatting about how empathetic folks (yes, that might be YOU) can unknowingly absorb the vibes of the people around them. Spoiler: it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. But wait, it gets darker. Ever heard of dark energy? No, it’s not a new Netflix series, but it might just be the unseen force messing with your relationships. We’re going to unpack what it looks like, how it creeps into your life, and how it can totally throw you off. This is some real eye-opening insights on how to spot dark energy in your world and what you can do to protect yourself. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLesserKnownPod
