    The Mysterious Death of Mostly Harmless: Big Cypress National Reserve

    In July of 2018, two hikers in Big Cypress National Preserve stumbled across a deceased camper. The man was emaciated, surrounded with food and cash but no form of identification. The mystery surrounding who this man was stretched nearly two years. Law enforcement, the media, and thousands of online sleuths worked tirelessly to identify the man in the yellow tent, but what they ultimately discovered unsettled them all.   For a full list of our sources, visit npadpodcast.com/episodes For the latest NPAD updates, group travel details, merch and more, follow us on npadpodcast.com and our socials: Instagram: @‌nationalparkafterdarkTikTok: @‌nationalparkafterdark Support the show by becoming an Outsider and receive ad free listening, bonus content and more on Patreon or Apple Podcasts.

    Florida’s Tiger King - Tarzan of the Loxahatchee: Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Before Tiger King turned exotic animal owners into binge-worthy television and made Joe Exotic one of the most talked about men in America, Florida had its own infamous animal handler: Trapper Nelson, the rugged swampman locals dubbed the “Tarzan of the Loxahatchee.” Hidden deep along the Loxahatchee River in the wilderness that would eventually become Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Trapper built a jungle compound filled with rattlesnakes, monkeys, alligators, and exotic animals, becoming famous for wrestling alligators barehanded and entertaining tourists, celebrities, and soldiers who traveled upriver to see him. But behind the fame was a story filled with murder, paranoia, buried treasure rumors, and a mysterious death that still fuels speculation decades later.

    The Grizzly Mauling That Changed Yellowstone National Park

    In June 1972, 23-year-old Harry Walker left Alabama for the adventure of a lifetime. Days after arriving in Yellowstone National Park, he was killed by a grizzly bear. Harry's death exposed decades of controversial bear management practices and sparked a legal battle against the federal government. At the center of it all was a question that Yellowstone had been struggling to answer for generations: how do you keep bears wild while keeping people safe?

    Abducted on Lake Champlain

    On the shores of Vermont’s Lake Champlain in the summer of 1968, two camp counselors watched a glowing craft descend over the dark water before losing hours of time they could never explain. What followed were terrifying dreams, recovered memories, hypnosis sessions, and claims of telepathic contact that would haunt them for decades. Known today as the Buff Ledge abduction case, the encounter became one of New England’s most chilling and heavily investigated UFO cases.
