    270: Honeymoon From Hell. Manuripi-Heath National Amazon Wildlife Reserve.
    Dec 23 2024
    In March of 1973, Holly and Gerald Fitzgerald were lost, starving and on the brink of death in the middle of Bolivia. The first leg of their planned honeymoon around the world was almost their last, as they fought for their lives atop of raft amongst a flooded jungle. Their love for one another and desire for a shared future kept them alive for 26 days until, of all things, a monkey led to their rescue.

    265: Taken? Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
    Dec 2 2024
    In August of 1976, twin brother Jim and Jack Weiner and their friends Chuck Rak and Charlie Flotz embarked on a two-week camping and canoeing trip to the Northwoods of Maine. Several days into their trip they experienced something they couldn’t explain– and it would be over a decade until the truth of that night truly came to light. Remembered as “The Allagash Four” the quartet has gone down in ufology history as one of the most compelling cases of alien abductions in US history.
