Standing in the Dark - The Yakima Upright Predator!

“Five Decades. Nine Encounters. One Presence.” Something massive walks the Yakima night — a long-armed, upright predator that leaves no tracks on stone, watches from treelines, and screams through canyon walls with a voice no known animal can match. For over fifty years, hunters, police officers, and families have reported the same impossible figure: towering, silent, intelligent, and always just beyond the light. In this episode of Nightmare Hunters, we follow nine real encounters across the Yakima Reservation — road crossings, trackways, window watchers, and forest silhouettes — to build a unified theory of a creature that moves with purpose, chooses when to be seen, and never runs. Cryptid investigation, forensic analysis, eyewitness testimony, and primal dread converge in Standing in the Dark: The Yakima Upright Predator. Got a theory? A story? A close encounter?

Drury Mincy - The 47Year Hunt

“The Case the Woods Wouldn’t Let Them Bury.” For nearly five decades, hikers, hunters, campers, and even park rangers have reported terrifying encounters in the Drury–Mincy Conservation Area—humanlike screams in the dark, glowing eyes in the treeline, creatures that move faster than any known animal, and a pattern of pursuit behavior that defies explanation. In our new episode, Drury–Mincy: The 47Year Hunt, we uncover the case the woods wouldn’t let them bury—a chilling timeline of sightings, nearattacks, coordinated predator tactics, and an incident so severe it forced officials to quietly shut down parts of the forest. If you’re into cryptids, Ozark legends, tales of survival, park ranger encounters, or real unexplained cases, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Step into the dark with us… and discover why so many people say the Drury–Mincy woods don’t just watch you, they follow you. Got a theory? A story? A close encounter? Send it to us. We’re listening.
