On October 22, 2024 a legacy ended when Grizzly 399 was hit by a car and killed. She was the most beloved bear in the world and the oldest known grizzly to bear cubs in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She gained popularity when she strategically raised her cubs by the roadways and tolerated human interaction. In this episode we tell her story, the legacy and impact she left on the conservation world, and the problems that her habituation has had and will continue to cause. Hang out until the end of the episode where we have special trail tales from listeners who had the opportunity to see her in the wild.

When two dangerous convicts escaped from a Florida prison they kidnapped a woman and fled to Mississippi. During the ensuing manhunt for the prison escapees, Florida park ranger Robert McGhee was tragically murdered while on duty.

A universal desire to have just five more minutes to convey our love to those who we have lost has been in existence for as long as humans have. For most of time, those wishing to connect with the deceased relied on mediums, until two of history’s most brilliant minds added science to the equation in hopes of inventing a diret line to the other side.

Some histories are lost with time, but remnants of their existence remain. Off an unmarked trail within the park, sits an old abandoned cabin that in its hay day was a popular place for tourists to visit. It was once filled with people from around the world, coming to see Anna Wolfrom’s famous Tea Room for themselves. Anna managed to open a hugely successful business in a time it was not common for women to do so, but she didn’t stop there. Remnants of her entrepreneurial spirit remain scattered around Estes Park and the country.

In August of 1982, three generations of one family went on a two week vacation into the mountains of British Columbia. Over a year later, David Shearing was arrested and went to trial for all six of their murders. But as time went on, the details of what happened that night and in the days that followed emerged, and were more horrific than anyone could have anticipated.

In August of 1982, three generations of one family went on a two week vacation into the mountains of British Columbia. When they failed to return, the community rallied to find them. What began as a missing persons case turned into the grisly discovery of human remains. Exactly what happened to the Bentley and Johnson families was a mystery for months, until the only person left alive involved in the tragedy began to reveal the truth.

For generations the stories of ghost lights in the Appalachian forests of North Carolina have captured the attention of locals and piqued the curiosity of travelers. These orbs of light have been witnessed by hundreds over the years, and no one is questioning their existence, they are questioning their origins. Are they spirits? UFOs? Bioluminescent bugs? Automobile headlights? ETs? Today we discuss the Brown Mountain lights.
