  • Hey guys!

    In today's episode, we're talking about the supernatural mysteries of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where ancient myths, legends, and ghost stories linger from centuries past.

    First, let's cozy up at the Volcano House, where a spirit guardian awaits!

    Help us ponder the interesting persona of Pele, the fiery goddess— a youthful beauty or cigarette hoarder?

    Ever heard of the Night Marchers? I, for one, wouldn't stick around to find out - RUN!

    Finally, let's explore the eerie darkness of the Lava Tubes - are you really alone? Maybe, maybe not!
