Haunted Badlands


Listen Later

In this episode, things get spooky with the paranormal side of Badlands National Park. We get into the history, from the brutal conditions Native American tribes and settlers faced, which apparently stirred up some ghostly legends.

Then, we talk all about the haunted spots, like Cedar Pass Lodge, and dive into the infamous Banshee of the Badlands—a spirit with a mix of reputations, sometimes seen as a fierce protector, other times as a lost soul searching for her family. We’ll cover stories of eerie encounters, from sightings of the mysterious Woman in White to the stoic Lone Sentinel, who people swear they’ve seen guarding the landscape. And of course, we’ll share some tips on how to plan a visit to the Badlands if you’re curious about exploring the haunted and beautiful mysteries of the park for yourself.
