Encounters x286 - Hiking Horror Stories

Grab your bug spray and your bravery — this week, we’re heading deep into the woods. In this Encounters episode, we’re sharing spine-chilling stories of camping trips gone paranormally wrong from listeners just like you. What was that noise outside the tent? What was that bright flash of light? Who – and WHAT is lurking in the forest at night? Aliens? Humans? Bigfoot? Or something else entirely? All we know for certain is that we are not packing our bags and going camping anytime soon… but we know YOU are and it’s best to stay alert. Stories Include: Haunted Appalachia Trail tales A camper's dad sees a doppelgänger leading him into the woods — but she’s standing right beside him. Haunted bathrooms on the Machu Picchu trail, complete with a lurking shadow outside the stall. A man in the forest claims he’s been aboard the mothership — and offers a book about his alien travels. A woodland trail (or portal?) in Australia marked by creepy dolls, unreal sounding birds, and a cow-shaped spirit waiting in the trees. Whether it’s Bigfoot energy, inter-dimensional tricksters, or humans being the scariest things in the forest, this episode will have you rethinking your next hike. Stay safe, stay spooky — and maybe don’t venture off into the woods alone. Scooter LaForge tees (as seen on White Lotus and Sabrina). Instagram Watch the video version here.
