Ep. 18 Turnbull Canyon Exposed: Real Horror & Miracle Survivor

Alright Creepy Crew, This episode is DARK, (See Trigger Warning Below) Turnbull Canyon in California is genuinely disturbing. And I'm thoroughly convinced it’s actively hunting people, not haunting.

We’re talking 30+ documented deaths since the 1950s. People having dreams about a canyon they’ve never heard of, then driving hundreds of miles to die there. Cult activity in the 60s-80s with animal sacrifices and occult ceremonies that might have cursed the place. Cars breaking down at impossible rates, electronics going haywire, phantom apparitions, and temperature drops that defy science.

This isn’t your typical ghost story - this place is a predator. From the woman in white on the bridges to YouTube investigations gone wrong, Turnbull Canyon is actively calling people to their deaths. 

And the light at the end of the tunnel? Is the incredible Survival Story of a Young Woman. 

TRIGGER WARNING!!  - This episode is not recommended for minors, this episode contains discussions including assault and murder of humans and animals & some of the content may be disturbing. Please Listen with Care.
