About this episode

Story One – Strangeness in the Borderlands

For close to a century, the officers of the United States Border Patrol have traversed the foothills and valleys of the Otay Mesa, located in California’s San Diego County. But in addition to contending with an endless stream of individuals attempting to illegally enter the United States, these agents have sometimes encountered intruders of a more inexplicable nature.

Story Two – Tales From Stardust Ranch

We have already examined the inexplicable and haunting occurrences at Utah’s infamous Skinwalker Ranch in previous episodes. But across the border in neighbouring Arizona, lies another remote farmstead with an equally terrifying history. This week, we investigate one man’s horrifying conflict with extra-terrestrial intruders, as we pay a visit to Stardust Ranch.
