Have you ever gone on a hike or a light walk if hikes aren't your thing in a

national park or forest and followed trail markers? Have you ever found yourself wondering who decided where the trail markers went?

Like who decided the trail should be here and not somewhere else?

How did that trail get there in the first place? and not

the history of the

about the trail get there in the first place.

Welcome to Strange and unexplained with me, Daisy Egan.

This episode is not about the history of trails and trail markers,

as much of a banger as that would be, I'm sure.

But today's episode is about the paths we humans tread and have tread for millennia, where

they lead and why.

And about the people who believe that those paths aren't random,

but instead reveal a kind of magical geography of the Earth

beyond anything we can comprehend.

And the path of this episode will start out with one man

noticing some interesting lines on a map to, well, aliens, because of course it does.

But before we put on our sturdy walking shoes and grab our compasses, let's take the path on over to our

Patreon page where for just five bucks you get three

bonus episodes a month covering all kinds of topics.

From imaginary friends who come to life, for better worse to presidential UFO sightings to the dark

real life history of children's fairy tales and for another two bucks you get all

that plus all our regular episodes each week ad free.
