For our eighth annual Tales of Terror episode, we have not three, but five stories that span the range of things to fear–from angry men with shotguns, to bears and mountain lions, to things that really don’t have any explanation in the world of science.

First, we visit an abandoned Pennsylvania town with Joe Shearer. Then, we’ll wander the overgrown Forest Service roads of the Sierras with Drew Villeneuve, join Maria DeBari on a spooky descent from Washington state’s Mt. Stuart, jumpstart a dead car battery at a trailhead on the edge of Colorado’s Weminuche Wilderness with Sam Whitley and, finally, travel off the map in Iceland with Sal Zullo.

Happy Halloween!
