These stories gave me chills, and there are many more like them out there. When Flight 401 crashed into the Everglades, it happened due to a tiny, simple mistake. And those who died were seen again.

In 1980 geologists were shouting their warning: St Helens was going to blow and it was going to be huge. But even as they gave their notice and moved their station away from the mountain, people flocked to the mountain waiting for a front row seat for the show.

And what a show it was. Though for the people it its path, terror was the leading emotion as ash and rock and smoke erupted into the sky.

The 1920s—dubbed the Roaring Twenties-was a decade of dramatic social and cultural change in the United States. It was an era defined by jazz music, flapper fashion, booming industry, and a bold break from traditional norms. Cities grew rapidly, speakeasies flourished, and Prohibition-instituted by the 18th Amendment in 1920—made the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol illegal.
But far from curbing drinking, Prohibition fueled a surge in organized crime, smuggling, and violence. Even the most remote corners of the country weren't spared, including the newly protected lands of the U.S. national parks.
In 1927, amidst this backdrop of national upheaval, James Alexander Cary, a park ranger at Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, became the first national park ranger to be murdered in the line of duty.

Losing a child contains an imaginable pain that the parents will carry for the remainder of their lives. But the grief that comes with the unknown ads a layer so complex it tangles even the happiest of feelings with guilt and question.

This is the story of Jaryd Atadero, and the still unanswered questions left behind.

In 2005, Greg and Matt Matthew’s sat themselves in the Alaskan brush, bow in hand. Matt had a moose call, and as hours turned into days they were just waiting for their opportunity to bring home a prize. And the prize was a freezer full of meat to help feed Matt’s family. What they hadn’t expected was to, instead, find themselves in a life or death situation, which led to Greg’s Wild Awakening.

In this episode, Ky from joins me- be sure to check her out!

Check out Wild Awakening by Greg Matthews for a more in depth telling of this event that altered the course of his life.

“If we end up murdered, it was him.” Was Kylen’s words a premonition? Or just a way to add some humor to the uncomfortable situation she and Crystal had found themselves in.

When the two women ended up missing- only to be found shot at their campsite, the police would end up running down a winding road of clues. One that included a private investigator and Dog the Bounty Hunter digging up more than them.

What is life without close calls with disaster? Well, we dive into the very topic in this episode and exactly how different it can be for each person.

When Trish and Trevor were violently attacked by a grizzly bear on the trails, they found themselves with very different experiences when it came to recovery, and life after the attack.

While Trevor seemed to flourish, Trish had a harder time looking at her reflection in the mirror- a reflection she no longer recognized.

In this episode, Carmita from joins me in hearing about the area, about the attack, and the strength that Patrica Van Tighem displays even though she is no longer present in the physical world.

A father’s love is often described as a powerful, guiding force, a foundational support for dreams, and a source of unwavering protection and belief. His love is emphasized by his actions, his love being a legacy that lasts forever, and his presence being a gift that shapes a child’s life.

It is his very actions that can quite literally save his children’s life. Join me along with guests Daniella and Maegan from to hear the heroic story of Aaron Gibbons and his fight to save his daughters from a polar bear.
