In this chilling episode, we dive deep into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most eerie and unresolved mysteries—Ape Canyon, Mount St. Helens, and the haunting legend of the Devil Monkeys.

Before the infamous eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, reports of strange, monkey-like creatures began circulating around the area, with locals and adventurers alike claiming to have seen terrifying figures resembling primates in the wilds of Ape Canyon. But these weren't your typical monkeys—these creatures were described as aggressive, intelligent, and utterly terrifying, earning them the nickname "Devil Monkeys."

We’ll explore the history of these encounters, dating back to the early 1920s, and uncover the eerie details of these elusive beings—were they cryptids, misidentified animals, or something far more sinister?

But it doesn’t end there. The disappearance of skier and mountaineer Jim Carter adds another layer of intrigue to this already perplexing tale. In 1950, Carter vanished while exploring the slopes of Mount St. Helens, just miles from the infamous Ape Canyon. Was his disappearance linked to these terrifying creatures, or did something else happen in the shadow of the mountain?

In this episode, we discuss:

• The history of Devil Monkey sightings in Ape Canyon and surrounding areas.
• Eyewitness accounts from locals and adventurers who claim to have encountered these cryptic creatures.
• The mysterious disappearance of Jim Carter, and whether it could have been connected to the Devil Monkeys or other unexplained phenomena.

Join us as we uncover the truth behind one of the most mysterious paranormal legends of the Pacific Northwest. Are the Devil Monkeys real? And could they still be lurking in the shadow of Mount St. Helens, waiting for the next unwitting explorer?

In this episode, we're doing something a little different.  First, we will replay the episode featuring the Missing 411 case of 82 year old hunter Tom Messick who went missing in November 2015.  Strangely, just 9 days after Tom went missing, 68 year old Fred Drumm also went missing from his 170 acre farm just 40 miles away. Prior to realizing Tom was gone, his friend hears a strange metallic noise in the woods.  Jamie uncovered some other accounts of similar noises.  What the heck happened to these men?  Then at the end, Jamie shares some additional information she was given regarding the Tom Messick case.  The information comes from people in another hunting party who were there in the same area at the same time.
