In this eerie true story, we dive deep into the mysterious disappearance of Linda Arteaga, a woman who vanished in the rugged wilderness of the Ozark Mountains for five terrifying days in 2012. What she experienced wasn’t just a fight for survival—it was a brush with the unexplained. She returned barefoot, sunburned, and shaken, with haunting claims of shadowy figures silently watching her from the trees. Were they hallucinations from poisonous berries and dehydration—or something far more sinister?

This episode explores Appalachian folklore, the legend of The Silent Watchers, Native American beliefs about forest spirits, and real-life wilderness survival. Told in a rich Appalachian storytelling style, this tale will chill your spine and make you think twice before hiking deep into the woods alone.

👉 If you enjoy real unsolved mysteries, backwoods legends, and true survival tales with a paranormal twist, this is a story you don’t want to miss.
