    Lake Clark National Park - The Beast of Lake Iliamna, Alaska

    Deep in the Alaskan wilderness, something enormous lurks beneath the waters of Lake Iliamna. Locals have reported sightings of the legendary Lake Iliamna monster for years, but fisherman Wally Kvasnikoff has a more immediate problem: the creature is driving him out of his favorite fishing grounds. Enter John West, Paranormal Park Ranger, a skeptical investigator of cryptids, lake monsters, and unexplained phenomena. When John heads out onto Iliamna Lake to investigate this Alaska cryptid, he discovers that the monster is very real... and considerably more complicated than a typical sea serpent sighting. As John digs into the creature's mysterious connection to grief and loneliness, this paranormal investigation takes an unexpected turn. Could one of Alaska's most frightening cryptids simply be looking for a friend? Join John West for a supernatural comedy adventure in Lake Clark National Park, featuring an unusual monster encounter, the wilds of Alaska, and a reminder that not every creature needs to be defeated. John West Paranormal Park Ranger is a comedy audio drama about cryptids, paranormal mysteries, and the strange things hiding in America's national parks.

    John West Paranormal Park Ranger - Trailer

    Howdy folks, John West, Paranormal Park Ranger here. You’ll never hear about the PPR in the news, because, technically, it doesn’t exist, but we handle things like the Wolf Man in the Tetons, the Swamp Ape of the Everglades, the Blue Ridge Witch… you get the picture. Now, we can't respond to every little bump in the night. If we were called in every time a guest sees a ghost, we’d never sleep! But each Park has its own reasons for making sure people keep to the designated areas. Let me make it clear that I have no idea what happens on the highest floors at Headquarters - I’m a ranger. I deal with the facts, send ‘em up the chain, and move on. So I'm taking on the Gauntlet: all 64 of our National Parks. Finish it, and I get promoted. I’ll be recounting my investigations here every week. If you’re a fan of National Parks, Supernatural mysteries, and deadpan humor, this is the place for you!
