When a family of four vanishes from their campsite in Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, what ensues is one of Oregon state’s largest search and rescue efforts. The discovery of the family leaves more questions than answers and remains one of the Pacific Northwest's longest standing cold cases.

We’ve all experienced it – the feeling of someone watching us, or in the room with us when we are by all accounts seemingly alone. A shift in the air or a tingle down your spine usually sets off these spider senses. Traditionally, when we think of this feeling, we are afraid. But what happens when this unseen force is helpful? And provides companionship in times of desperation and need, in circumstances of life or death? Today we travel the globe and through time to visit stories of survivors from all walks of life to discuss “The Third Man” and ponder where exactly he comes from.

Surprise! We may be on vacation this week, but that doesn't mean we can't bring you a new episode. Please enjoy our recent guest appearance on Tooth and Claw. 

Tooth and Claw description:

Cassie and Danielle from National Park After Dark joined us recently for the first (and hopefully not last) Tooth and Claw Interview Series to talk a little bit about the history of feeding bears in Yellowstone, and then answer a slew of mostly ridiculous questions about themselves, including who between them would win in a fight and whether cake and ice cream counts as one desert, or two.

Make sure to check out Tooth and Claw wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
