Episode description
Welcome to may landmark 50th episode of Spooky Island Radio where we tread the eerie path of the Appalachian Trail, exploring the bizarre and the unexplained. Are you brave enough to join me?
As we journey further, the trail grows dimmer, the woods denser, and the tales more terrifying. I will take you through chilling accounts of those who went missing on the Appalachian Trail, and pose the unthinkable question - could there be feral wild men or even cannibalistic creatures lurking in the shadows? We share the story of Dennis Martin, whose vanishing echoes in the hills, and discuss the spine-chilling horror films Wrong Turn and The Descent that depict the terrors hiding in the wilderness.
In the concluding part of our episode, we turn our gaze skywards, recounting the enigmatic abduction of Betty and Barney Hill, the first case of its kind to ever gain credibility. As we follow their unsettling encounter with an ominous light, we can't help but wonder, are we really alone? We round off this episode with the tale of the towering Flatwoods Monster, a grotesque creature that has become a part of local folklore. So buckle up, dear listeners, as we cap off this milestone episode with a visit to the electrifying Flatwoods Monster Festival. Stay spooky!
