Beneath the beauty of America’s National Parks lies something far more chilling than poison ivy or a wrong turn. In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey lace up their hiking boots and head into the shadowy forests, foggy trails, and unsettling mysteries surrounding some of the most baffling disappearances ever recorded.

From the sudden vanishing of 6-year-old Dennis Martin in the Great Smoky Mountains, to a murdered family discovered under baffling circumstances, and the eerie case of 14-year-old Stacy Arras in Yosemite — we follow the trail of missing persons who stepped into the wild and were never seen the same way again... if at all.

We also explore the patterns identified by Missing 411 author David Paulides: cases where search dogs refuse to track, clothes are found folded or far from the body, and victims re-appear in places that were already searched. Shoes go missing, time doesn’t add up, and the terrain turns inexplicably treacherous.

Are these tragic accidents, criminal cover-ups, or evidence of something stranger lurking just beyond the trailhead?

With a mix of sharp wit, deep curiosity, and a healthy respect for both the rational and the ridiculous, your favorite mother-daughter duo takes a look at the clues the wilderness has left behind, and the ones it hasn’t.

THE SCARIEST STORIES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TRUE.
