Episode 13: Disappearance of Ben McDanie...

About this episode
Where it all began! Lucky number 13 is the perfect place to start a creepy podcast!

The deadliest diving cave in Florida, locked with a rusted gate, has claimed many lives. So what makes one man's disappearance any different? A missing body. An abandoned life. Did the depths claim Ben McDaniel or did he fake his own death to start a new life? Or, perhaps, it was something even more sinister.
