Summary

In 1973, four teenagers were shot and killed in a random burst of violence in the middle of the woods while they were camping. And the thought of those killings would go on to haunt an entire city to the present day. Gitchie Manitou State Preserve was already a burial grounds for indigenous tribes, and then there were the murders. Colin (the co-host of the podcast) has investigated this location many times over the years, and in this special episode of the podcast, we not only dive deep into the disturbing murders that took place in 1973, but also the paranormal activity that haunts the ruins of Gitchie Manitou.
