  GITM #82 The Mysterious San Luis Valley

  Aug 12, 20261h 21m

  The San Luis Valley is one of Colorado's most beautiful landscapes, but beneath its towering mountains and wide open skies lies a remarkable history of strange lights, UFO sightings, unusual folklore, spiritual movements, and unexplained phenomena. At the heart of it all sits Crestone, a tiny mountain community that has attracted an extraordinary collection of religious and spiritual groups from around the world. In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore the mysterious San Luis Valley, the prophecy that helped transform Crestone into an unlikely spiritual destination, and the strange stories that have surrounded the region for generations. From mysterious lights in the night sky to claims that something unusual draws people to this isolated corner of Colorado, we ask what it is about the San Luis Valley that continues to inspire so many extraordinary stories.

  GITM #81 The Denver Airport

  Aug 5, 20261h 25m

  Some places inspire curiosity. Others seem to invite conspiracy. Denver International Airport has become one of the world's most talked about modern mysteries, with stories of secret underground tunnels, strange artwork, mysterious symbols, hidden bunkers, and the infamous blue horse known as Blucifer fueling decades of speculation. In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we separate fact from fiction as we explore the legends that have transformed a busy international airport into the center of countless conspiracy theories. Are these tales simply the product of imagination and internet folklore, or is there something about Denver International Airport that continues to capture the attention of skeptics and believers alike?

  GITM #80 The Vanishing Hitchhiker

  Jul 29, 20261h 15m

  For generations, one ghost story has appeared in nearly every corner of the world. A lone traveler stops to pick up a hitchhiker on a dark stretch of road, only to discover that their mysterious passenger has vanished without a trace. From lonely mountain highways to quiet country roads, the legend of the Vanishing Hitchhiker has blurred the line between folklore and eyewitness testimony for more than a century. In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore the history behind this enduring urban legend, the chilling real life accounts that helped spread it, and the many theories that attempt to explain these impossible encounters. Are these stories simply cautionary tales, or could some travelers have unknowingly shared the road with someone who was never meant to be there at all?

  Episode #79

  GITM #79 The Occult Murders of Hendersonville NC

  Jul 22, 20261h 34m

  In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we examine one of western North Carolina's most unsettling unsolved crimes, the 1966 triple homicide of Vernon Shipman, Charles Glass, and Louise Davis Shumate in Hendersonville. The brutal killings shocked the region and, over the decades, have become intertwined with rumors of ritualistic activity, occult symbolism, and speculation that the murders may have involved far more than an ordinary criminal motive. We explore the known facts of the investigation, separate documented evidence from local legend, and take a closer look at how stories of an occult connection became part of the case's enduring mystery. Was this simply a horrific crime that gave rise to decades of speculation, or is there something more behind one of Henderson County's most haunting unsolved cases?

  GITM #78 The Haunted Forestry Camp

  Jul 15, 20261h 13m

  In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we explore one of Asheville NC's lesser-known legends as we investigate the alleged haunted Forestry Camp. Hidden among the trees, the abandoned ruins have long been the subject of local stories involving strange noises, unexplained shadows, and eerie encounters. We examine the history of the site and the legends that have helped turn these forgotten ruins into one of Asheville's enduring paranormal mysteries. From the camp's origins to the ghost stories that continue to circulate today, we separate documented history from local folklore while exploring what visitors and residents have claimed to experience over the years. Is the abandoned Forestry Camp simply another decaying piece of Asheville's past, or is there something about these silent ruins that continues to draw curious investigators after dark?
