In the tiny Colorado mountain town of Silver Plume, population barely 200, two men vanished — a year apart — under eerily similar circumstances.

The first was Tom Young, a quiet shopkeeper who disappeared with his dog, leaving behind a locked store and no note. A year later, Keith Reinhard, a journalist writing a novel about a man who mysteriously disappears, walked into those same mountains… and never came back.

What happened in Silver Plume? Was it coincidence, a calculated copycat, or something darker in those peaks that swallow sound and keep their secrets?

In this episode, we trace the unsettling parallels between the two men’s lives, the haunting coincidences that tied them together, and the legends that still echo through that forgotten mining town.

A place that seems peaceful by daylight — but after dark, it’s like the mountains themselves are listening.
