In this chilling episode, we venture to Acadia National Park! The only national park in the Northeast and one of the smallest, yet it ranks in the top 10 most visited in the U.S.

Haunted trails where spirits linger, legendary portals to the underworld like the eerie Devil's Oven, and a history of tragic drownings, and misfortunes await. Despite its compact size, Acadia boasts rugged mountains (including the highest point on the Atlantic coast), over 300 bird species, diverse mammals from moose to seals, and thousands of plants. Making its dark side all the more haunting.

Light your campfires, get cozy, and join us as we head up the Atlantic Coast to explore the beauty and the shadows of this iconic park.
