Destination Terror

High in the hills east of the Sierra Nevada sits Bodie, California. It was once one of the most lawless gold rush boomtowns in the West, and today it's the most famous ghost town in America. Its buildings stand frozen in time, with dishes still on the tables and goods still on the shelves. The town has one rule: take nothing. Visitors who pocketed a nail, a shard of glass or even a pebble have reported illness, accidents and a run of bad luck, and every week the park receives apology letters with the stolen items rattling inside.

On this episode of Destination Terror, Carman Carrion tells an original story about a woman who took one rusty nail from a lonely shack and learned what it was really worth. Then we get into the true history of Bodie: its violent boom years, the fires that nearly wiped it out, the haunted J.S. Cain House, the Angel of Bodie, and where the Bodie Curse really came from.

Look all you want. Just leave Bodie in Bodie.

For over 600 years, monks climbed 600 hand-cut stone steps to live in total isolation on a jagged rock in the Atlantic — hunting God at the edge of the world. Then, without a single written explanation, they vanished. Tonight we climb Skellig Michael's stairway into a storm, a missing brother, and a wordless song rising up from the sea that the monastery was never meant to hear. Real history, real deaths, and a mystery no historian has ever solved.

Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert — the driest place on Earth — sits the abandoned ruins of La Noria, a saltpeter mining town founded in 1826 and left to rot when the industry collapsed. What remains is a roofless church, a cemetery of thousands of cracked and leaning crosses, and a legend locals repeat without hesitation: the dead of La Noria don't stay buried after dark.

This episode, we trace the town's brutal real history — forced labor, child death, and a burial ground the desert keeps trying to give back — alongside the story of a woman who came looking for one name in a hundred-year-old company ledger, and heard something answer her instead.

If you hear the bell, don't go looking for it.

Something seven feet tall has been walking out of the Arkansas swamp for over a hundred years. It leaves footprints with only three toes. It's been shot at more times than anyone can count — and it always comes back. This is the Fouke Monster.

Deep in the Sulphur River bottoms of southwest Arkansas, the little town of Fouke shares its backyard with the Beast of Boggy Creek — the three-toed, red-eyed swamp Bigfoot that terrorized the Ford family in 1971, inspired the cult classic film The Legend of Boggy Creek, and still gets called in to the county sheriff to this day. Host Carman Carrion — an Arkansas native — takes you down to the bottoms for the full story: the decades of sightings, the night it all went national, and an original tale of one man who went into that swamp after dark and came back marked forever.

Keep your headlights on. Watch your treeline. And whatever you do — leave it be.

Deep in the most heavily forested county in Ohio, a brick tunnel stands alone in the woods with a dead town's name still carved above it — and a lantern that swings in the dark for trains that stopped running decades ago. This is the true history of the Moonville Tunnel, the ghosts of the vanished coal town that surround it, and the operating order a real railroad reportedly issued in 1981 telling engineers to look right at the phantom light and pretend it wasn't there.

Then stay for an original horror story set inside the tunnel — because the legend has one thing backwards about what that lantern is really trying to do.

🚂 Featured location: Moonville Tunnel, Vinton County, Ohio (Zaleski State Forest)

Above 26,000 feet on Mount Everest lies the death zone — where the air can't keep you alive and the cold won't let the dead decay. This is Rainbow Valley, the stretch below the summit named for the bright jackets of the climbers who never came down. This week on Destination Terror: an original story of two climbers, and a brother who won't stay buried — wrapped around the chilling true history of Everest's frozen dead and the valley of color that waits below the summit. Until we meet at our next destination.

Bolivia's North Yungas Road has a nickname it earned in full: the Road of Death. A single-lane ribbon of dirt and stone clinging to the Andes, with a wall of rock on one side and a two-thousand-foot drop into fog on the other — no guardrail, no shoulder, no mercy. It was carved out by prisoners of war in the 1930s, and for seventy years it killed by the hundreds, until it became the only road in Bolivia where you drive on the left, so you can watch your own wheels decide whether you live. But the people who bury their dead along it will tell you the danger isn't only the edge. It's what waits at the bends where the crosses cluster thickest — the women in the fog, standing where no living person ever would.

Tonight we drive it together. First a story: a young truck driver named Elías, one night, one old woman who needs a ride, and every warning his uncle ever gave him. Then the real history behind the fiction — the Chaco War, the unrecoverable bodies at the bottom of the gorge, the offerings made to a mountain that keeps a very exact ledger. As always, the story is invented. Everything underneath it is not. Keep to the left. Go slowly. And whatever you do — do not look over the edge.

In February 1945, close to a thousand Japanese soldiers were driven into a mangrove swamp on Ramree Island, off the coast of Burma. Almost none came out. The legend says saltwater crocodiles devoured them by the hundreds — a slaughter so infamous it landed in the record books as the worst animal attack in human history.

But is that what really happened?

This week on Destination Terror, we walk into the swamp the way the legend tells it — the screaming in the dark, the gunfire, the vultures at dawn — and then turn the lights on and look at what the records actually say. What we find is quieter, stranger, and somehow harder to shake than the monster story. Watch your step.

Tucked into the orchards and hop fields of Kent sits Pluckley — a village of fewer than a thousand people that once earned a Guinness World Records mention as the most haunted village in England. Behind its round white windows and postcard lanes wait somewhere between twelve and sixteen restless dead: a Red Lady drifting the churchyard in search of a child she'll never find, a White Lady sealed inside seven nested coffins, a highwayman run through with a sword at Fright Corner, a schoolmaster hanging from a tree on a quiet lane, and the Watercress Woman who burned alive on a lonely bridge — one of the few Pluckley ghosts tied

Host Carman Carrion traces how one man's booklets and headlines turned a peaceful English village into a legend, separates the documented dead from the folklore — including the internet's beloved 1948 "massacre" that never happened — and then steps beneath the branches, where the screaming still has no explanation. Stay on the path. And whatever you do, don't follow the voice into the trees.

They named it after something the people who lived here first refuse to say out loud.

Deep in Utah's Uintah Basin sits Skinwalker Ranch — 512 acres of high desert that has terrified ranchers, researchers, and one very unlucky family for generations. But forget the lights in the sky. Tonight, host Carman Carrion takes you past the barbed wire to the older, darker legend the ranch is actually named for: the shapeshifter that wears skins, walks the fence line on all fours, and calls to you in a voice you love.

From the Sherman family's bloodless cattle mutilations and the wolf that took bullets and simply walked away, to the Navajo and Ute traditions that warned people off this ground long before any camera arrived — this is the Skinwalker Ranch story stripped of the spaceships and handed back to the dark where it belongs.

Then stay for an original tale of a boy hired to watch a fence he was told never to cross… and the thing that followed him home.

The rule out here is simple. If the dark calls your name in a voice you trust — you don't answer.

🔦 Listener discretion advised: supernatural horror, animal death, and content some may find disturbing.
