John Muir & Haunted Yosemite Part 1

We are a podcast for adults/creepy kids at heart who perhaps found traditional education boring and/or challenging (as I personally did) and I would have loved to use the excuse that a ghost ate my homework when I was a kid but I knew I’d get in trouble for that. In this episode (Part 1), we learn about the life and work of John Muir, one of the most celebrated and revered conservationists in U.S. history and we take a deep dive into the bizarre and paranormal happenings in the mysterious national park, including a sighting of Muir's ghost himself. On our virtual field trip, we will also encounter an evil spirit inhabiting the mist of majestic Bridalveil Fall, the haunting of a boy at Grouse Lake, a grisly finding in Summit Meadow of Yosemite and the ghosts said to reside at the beautiful and swanky Ahwahnee Hotel located in the heart of Yosemite. We end our episode with a spine-tingling story sent to us by our friend, Danny G. You won’t want to miss this one! Have your own story to tell?
