As we approach the finale of The Six Weeks of Halloween, our hosts will guide us deep into the North Woods of Minnesota. Though the communities that surround this peaceful forest welcome visitors from around the globe with open arms, the woods hide darkness unlike anywhere in the world. This week, Chance will make us even more weary of the woods, as he warns us of the Wendigo lurking in the darkness and Laken questions the official account of the disappearance and death of Jordan Grider.

We're finally headed back to the west ,Chance is pretty pumped. This stop on our mysterious Halloween tour of the United States takes us to, what may be, the darkest stop we've taken yet.
