    Legends from the Wild: Stone Hunts, Shadows Stalk, and Vines Devour

    Join us this week as we explore the chilling legends lurking in America’s wilderness and beyond. We’ll travel to the misty trails of a famed national park where a cunning, stone-skinned predator once terrorized the locals. Then, we head north to the icy Alaskan expanse patrolled by a shadowy hound that paralyzes its victims with a single glance. Finally, we dive into a South American jungle, rumored to harbor a man-eating plant that ensnares unsuspecting explorers.  Each tale blends historical echoes with bone-chilling folklore, leaving you to wonder: where does fact end, and myth begin?  Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknown Check out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network: Off The Trails The Peanut Butter and Mountains Podcast The Weirdos We Know   Who Runs This Park New Patreon Shoutouts: Roy Watson, Brian Gould, Marcy Baum Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes early, special members only episode, free swag, swag contests, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)   All our Patreon only content (Audio & Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify   Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message!  View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTube Presented by Unknown Media Group.

    A Canyon of Secrets: The Jim Carter Disappearance

    On May 23, 1950, a skilled mountaineer vanished near Ape Canyon in Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest. That morning, he split from his ski party to photograph them from a different vantage point—but never returned. Despite intense searches of the rugged volcanic terrain, neither Carter nor his camera was ever found. Was it a tragic accident, or is there a hidden truth lurking on the slopes? Join us this week as we investigate the mysterious disappearance of Jim Carter. Correction: We mispoke regarding diabetes, hypoglycemia, and insulin.  To eliminate confusion, we have cut these parts from the episode.   Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknown Check out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network: Off The Trails The Peanut Butter and Mountains Podcast The Weirdos We Know   Who Runs This Park New Patreon Shoutouts: Roslyn Kos, Nicole Vanoni, Kat Waller Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes early, special members only episode, free swag, swag contests, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)   All our Patreon only content (Audio & Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify   Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message!  View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTube Presented by Unknown Media Group.
