You up for some creepy encounters in the desert? Great, you're gonna love this episode... You ever walk into a place and instantly feel like you shouldn’t be there? That’s Devil’s Den. Hikers report hearing voices when no one’s around, feeling watched, followed, or flat-out unwelcome. And the worst part?

That’s just the beginning. Then there's La Llorona—whose name translates to "the weeping woman," but she’s more like the drenched-in-grief, luring-you-to-the-river, eternal scream queen of Mexican folklore. We break down her many terrifying forms, from tragic mother to full-blown banshee, and explore how her legend has evolved into one of the most chilling ghost stories in the Southwest. Let’s trauma bond over:

* The haunting hush of Devil’s Den (aka Mother Nature’s panic room) * Voices in the canyon, footsteps behind you, and absolutely no one there * The tragic and terrifying origins of La Llorona * Folklore that hits hard because it’s laced with loss and regret * Stories that had us both clutching our microphones and our sage * Why the wilderness sometimes feels like it’s watching you back So come with us—into a corner of Texas where legends linger like smoke, and the silence? Yeah, it’s NEVER just silence.  You bring the flashlight. We’ll bring the ghost stories. And always remember, don't get haunted! – Ashlee & Liz
