In war, heroes are usually measured by the weight of the rifle they carry… and the blood they leave behind. But in the mountains of Korea, during the Korean War, one Marine carried war on four hooves. She hauled ammunition through gun fire. Learned to run to bunkers when someone yelled “Incoming!” And when men couldn’t move fast enough— she went alone. Fifty-one supply runs in a single day. Shrapnel wounds. Purple Hearts. They didn’t call her a mascot. They gave her rank. This is the true story of Reckless— the war horse who became a United States Marine, became the highest ranking animal in the military, and a hero of Outpost Vegas. Because sometimes, the bravest soul on the battlefield never fires a weapon. .

The forest is quiet… until it isn’t. One step. One sharp pain. And in an instant, the wilderness turns lethal. Deep in Alabama’s Bankhead National Forest—where waterfalls hide ancient stone carvings and trails vanish into shadow—a rattlesnake strike sets off a race against time. With no cell service, venom spreading fast, and night closing in, survival depends on split-second decisions and a rescue that may not come in time. Rattlesnake venom doesn’t wait. Neither does death. This episode of Wilderness Bonescapes dives into the brutal reality of venomous bites, the thin line between adventure and disaster, and what happens when nature reminds us who’s really in control. Listen closely… sometimes the only warning is a rattle.

Two friends set out for a simple three-day hike in New Zealand’s Arthur’s Pass their adventure turned into a nightmare. Stranded on a ledge no bigger than a table for Ten days. No shelter. No food. No way down. And no guarantee anyone was still searching. As storms raged, their bodies began to fail; trench foot, hypothermia, exhaustion. Their only mission: Stay awake or die. Survival wasn’t a miracle, it was a fight. A brutal, relentless fight. A story of endurance, fear and the rescue no one thought was coming.

In the dead of an Alaskan winter… one man’s dream of living off the grid turned into a nightmare of fire, ice, and isolation. Tyson Steele woke to flames chewing through the roof above him — a spark, a mistake, a moment that would cost him everything he owned… and the one companion who never left his side. With his cabin collapsing in a storm of explosions, temperatures plummeting below -40, Tyson stepped into the wilderness wearing little more than boots and long johns and watched his world disappear into smoke. For 23 days he fought the cold, the hunger, and the crushing silence. The terrible question: Who would know he was missing? And would help arrive before the cold claimed him?

On a quiet North Carolina farm, Christmas Day should’ve been filled with warmth… laughter… and the scent of Fannie Lawson’s fresh-baked cake. But in 1929, something else was stirring inside the Lawson home— something cold…something twisted…something waiting. Neighbors would later swear they heard the screams. By sundown, eight members of the Lawson family lay dead. All except one. Sixteen-year-old Arthur Lawson—spared by chance… or by design. As the town descended into morbid curiosity—rumors began to twist into something darker. A secret whispered by a niece. A truth buried in a shallow grave. And a haunting that refuses to let go.

In the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta—where beauty and danger live side by side—two lives were changed forever in two separate hippo attacks in the same month. First, former Miss South Africa Diana Tilden-Davis was guiding her canoe through a shallow narrow channel when the Delta struck. A stressed, starving hippo surged upward, its jaws clamping around her leg, dragging her into a desperate fight for survival. Weeks prior, newlyweds Janice and Bruce Simpson drifted into paradise… and straight into a nightmare. A massive hippo, hidden in the reeds, exploded from the water with unimaginable force—shattering their canoe, and ending Janice’s life in an instant. A dream honeymoon turned to horror. Two attacks. One unforgiving wilderness. And a single haunting truth: In the Okavango Delta, the most dangerous predator… isn’t always the one you see coming.

Long before Thanksgiving became a day of parades, football, and picture-perfect feasts, it was something far more unsettling. Buried beneath the legend of harmony and shared tables is a truth few dare to look at directly—a truth written in smoke, gunpowder, and the cries of a people whose story was nearly erased. In this episode, we peel back the polished myth and step into the shadows of the 1600s, where alliances were fragile, survival was desperate, and gratitude often came at a brutal cost. This is the real story of Thanksgiving… and it’s nothing like the one we were taught.

In November of 1989, twenty-two-year-old Eloise Lindsay disappeared into the wilderness of South Carolina’s Table Rock State Park. She went in alone… to think about her future, her purpose, her next step in life. What she found instead… was terror. Two men began following her through the trees. She could hear them whispering… talking about her. When rescue teams were finally sent in, Eloise didn’t call back. She couldn’t. Because if she spoke — they’d find her. For two weeks, she hid from the very people trying to save her. When she was found, blistered and dehydrated, her story terrified everyone who heard it. She’d been hunted. Watched. Tracked. But what if those men were never there at all? Was Eloise Lindsay truly being stalked in the woods that November…or was she running from something that lived only in her mind? Join us as we follow the trail into the fog… to uncover what really happened to Eloise Lindsay.

They used to say bear attacks were rare. That if you stayed on the trails, respected the woods, you’d be safe. But not anymore. Across Japan, bears are currently showing up in towns—supermarkets, homes, schools, even train stations. 13 people dead, and counting. Over a hundred injured. The government is calling in the military. Join us as we dig into Japan’s current escalating bear crisis—what’s really happening in the forests, and how climate, human behavior, and chaos intertwine. You’ll also hear the harrowing survival story of Kiwi, who came face to face with a bear during Japan's bear invasion—and lived to tell what it’s really like when nature decides you’re the prey.

In the deep woods of Northern California, two brothers thought they were alone while out hunting for antler sheds. But something was watching. When the mountain lion struck, the forest erupted into chaos — a fight for survival between 2 brothers… and nature’s most silent predator. It was California’s first fatal mountain lion attack in twenty years. Join us as we delve deep into a mountain lion attack, explore what to do when you encounter a mountain lion, and then test Mac's knowledge on Mountain Lion Trivia trivia.

In a remote monastery hidden in the mountains of Romania, a young nun was bound to a cross in a desperate attempt to drive out the Devil. Three days later, she was dead. Was it faith gone too far… or something truly unholy? Join us as we descend into the haunting true story of Maricica Irina Cornici, the so-called “Crucified Nun of Tanacu,” and the chilling mystery that still echoes through those ruined walls.

All across the world, there are places where the laws of nature seem to bend — where science meets something darker, quieter, and far less understood. Explanations flicker in and out — minerals, gas, reflections of light — yet the timing, the precision, the eerie beauty of it all feels too deliberate to be random. Some of these natural wonders have been captured, studied, decoded. Others remain stubbornly beyond reason, daring us to look closer — and question what’s really at work beneath the surface of our world. Because sometimes, what we call a “natural phenomenon” feels anything but natural. And when the night deepens, and the wind starts to whisper through the canyons and the trees…you have to wonder — what if the Earth itself is haunted?

In 19th-century Galicia, Spain, a small, soft-spoken tailor named Manuel Blanco Romasanta offered to guide people through the mountains of Spain. Many of whom, did not return and were never heard from again. Manuel later confessed to murdering at least nine people, mostly women and children. When captured, he claimed he was cursed to become a wolf, doomed to kill and feed on human flesh during his transformations. Some called him mad, others believed him truly cursed. Though sentenced to death, his execution was mysteriously halted for scientific study — and his final fate remains uncertain. Some records say he died in prison. Others say the Wolf of Allariz still roams the Galician woods, forever hunting beneath the moon.

Deep in the woods, where the trees swallow the last traces of sunlight, forgotten asylums crumble in silence. Once filled with screams and cries, these rotting halls still hold the echoes of cruelty and despair. Patients were locked away, punished, and abandoned—many never left alive. Their restless spirits linger, pacing the corridors, whispering through cracked walls, and watching from shattered windows. The forest has reclaimed the buildings, but inside, the dark happenings of the past play on endlessly… a nightmare that refuses to die. In this fireside chat, we explore many forgotten Asylums in the wilderness.

Asylums stands today not only as a ruin, but as a memorial to the countless lives once confined within its walls. Here, men, women, and children were subjected to cruelty, neglect, and treatments that stripped them of dignity. Their stories—many silenced and forgotten—remain etched in the crumbling plaster, in the abandoned rooms, and in the earth where so many were laid to rest without recognition. Though the asylums are now silent, it serves as a solemn reminder of the human cost. It also stands as a call to remember the resilience of those who endured and to honor their memory by ensuring such injustices are never repeated. To walk these grounds is to confront the darkness of the past, and to carry forward the lesson that every human being deserves compassion, dignity, and care.

In 1972, sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma vanished from her Springfield, New Jersey home. Six weeks later, a dog carried back a human arm—leading to her body, eerily perched atop a cliff locals called the Devil’s Teeth. Rumors swirled of wooden crosses, cult rituals, and Satanic sacrifice though police denied any occult ties. With no clear cause of death, missing evidence, and whispers of cover-ups, her case remains unsolved—an eerie mystery that still haunts New Jersey more than fifty years later.

Beneath the canopy of North America’s wild places something quietly unravels. Hikers vanish from trailheads and backcountry ridgelines as if swallowed by the land itself — sometimes never to be heard from again, sometimes found miles from where they disappeared, and sometimes returned with no memory of what happened. Most of these vanishings cluster in deep national park wildernesses — remote pockets where the map ends and the stories begin. The public debate rages over whether this is coincidence, misadventure, or something stranger.

We’ll dive into the science, then the cases themselves. Decide for yourself whether this is a pattern of the earth and weather, the limits of search and memory — or something that refuses neat explanation.

Lake Shawnee Amusement Park looks like just another abandoned carnival ground, but its soil hides a chilling past. Built in 1926, the park saw at least six children die in tragic accidents—a girl struck on the swings, two brothers falling from the Ferris wheel, and others lost to the water. When attempts were made to revive the park decades later, excavations revealed thousands of Native American skeletons buried beneath the rides Long before the park, the land was marked by bloodshed—in the 1700s, the Clay family lost three children in violence. Today, rusting rides sway without wind, pinwheels spin at unseen commands, and visitors claim to see the ghostly figures. Some call it cursed, others call it haunted—but all agree: the past at Lake Shawnee refuses to rest.

We have all heard the stories of a women in white haunting the grounds, often being seen walking eerily and slowly around corners, disappearing into nothingness. Leaving witnesses chills and goosebumps. A Lady in White ghost, said to be a harbinger of death and misfortune, the product of a violent death or suicide. But did you know there are stories of Ladies in White all over the world and in many different cultures. In this fireside chat, we talk about the different ghost stories of the Lady in White from all over, from castles deep in the forests of Germany still occupies, to ruins of castles in Wales, to the shadows of Indonesia, to mountain sides in the U.S. We tell the tales of the Lady in White doomed to walk in the night.

In January 1959, nine young hikers vanished in Russia’s Ural Mountains. When rescuers found their camp, the tent had been slashed open from the inside and abandoned, with boots and supplies neatly left behind. The hikers’ bodies were discovered scattered across the snow—their conditions in which they are found, is unexplainable.
