40: Three Points of No Return. Bermuda T...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
It’s safe to say you have heard of the Bermuda Triangle. That terrifying slice of sea that swallows ships whole and plucks planes out of the air. But did you know this isn’t the only place where strange phenomena occurs? There are other triangles to be feared. Places in our world that you can unknowingly walk straight into, and never return from.

This week we visit Yosemite National Park’s Tenaya Canyon, where an alleged curse is to blame for deaths and mishaps, Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest where a string of disappearances left locals dumb founded, and to Alaska’s final frontier – to the triangle responsible for over 16,000 lost souls.

We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
