For the best experience we kindly recommend you listen with headphones.

The problem with sneaking out is that your parents have no idea where to look for you.

You realize this, holding your ghost hunting gear in the middle of Wayne National Forest.

You check your phone. No service it tells you. It should have said,

of course there's no service, you're over 30 minutes away from any hint of civilization.

But when you heard that paranormal adventures got spooked and had to cancel their live stream because it was too dangerous,

you went regardless of what your cell reception was like.

The forest is quiet and dark and you have to use the night vision function on your camera just to see.

You hear the soothing sounds of water nearby and remind yourself to watch your step.

This particular part of the forest overlooks Lake Vesuvius. You don't need to add hypothermia to the growing list of concerns on this little field trip.

You wonder what could have been so horrific that it would send a team of supposed ghost hunters running for the hills, literally.

You understand how the scenery here can transform from night to day, of course.

Anyone who's lived in the middle of nowhere does. Wayne National Forest is in the foothills of Appalachia,

with breathtaking views of thick woods and covered bridges around every corner.

Gorgeous panoramic beauty in the light, the claustrophobic and disorienting in the dark.

A run to escape means a literal uphill battle. Every breath of tampine and tense earth feels rejuvenated in the day,

but at night it's suffocating. Still, for a team of supposedly seasoned paranormal experts, a walk in this park should have been well a walk in the park.

You know that everything ghostly on their show could be fabricated. They could be cowards, as disappointed as that makes you.

Even so, this location was ideal compared to the usual scene you see while nestled on the couch,

peeking at your TV screen through your blanket. No asbestos from old houses to worry about, no known,

these are light pollution on their cameras, for there is no one else around. Only 160,000 acres of untouched potential.
