National Park After Dark

In 1996, a troubled 16-year-old boy named Rod Ferrell believed he was a 500-year old-vampire. He formed a small group of local teens in Murray, Kentucky obsessed with vampire roleplaying, blood drinking, and occult beliefs. The roleplaying took a serious turn when Rod broke into the home of Richard Wendorf and Naomi Ruth Queen - the parents of clan member Heather Wendorf - and beat them to death. What followed became a media sensation, and has been remembered as the Vampire Clan Murders. See us in LIVE on tour in Boston or New York !

In October 1985, 17-year-old Missy Avila left her home in California's San Fernando Valley to spend the afternoon with friends and never came home. Three days later, two hikers made a horrifying discovery in Angeles National Forest. As Missy's family desperately searched for answers, the people closest to them offered comfort and promised to help find her killer. However, the truth about what happened to Missy was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

Before America had witch trials, Europe had werewolf trials - and they were as dark as they sound. One of the most infamous cases of time was that of Peter Stumpp, a man who was convicted and executed for serial murder, cannibalism, incest, and practicing black magic to transform into a werewolf. The Werewolf of Bedbug has cemented its place in German history not only for its gruesome nature, but as an example of a case in which people focused on villainizing wolves. Looking back on the case in present day, it ultimately revealed that the depths of human depravity seem to know no bounds. Vote for us to win a Signal Award for Best Roadtrip Podcast!

In May 1990, 29-year-old Susan “Suzy” Poupart disappeared after a night out with friends on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation in northern Wisconsin. For decades, her family has lived alongside the men they believe know exactly what happened to her, while a billboard bearing Suzy’s face has stood as a reminder that her case remains unsolved. Now, more than 35 years later, new DNA technology and a renewed investigation may offer the best chance yet to finally bring Suzy justice. COME SEE US ON TOUR - LIMITED TICKETS LEFT!
