Towering peaks. Magnetic vortexes. Phantom lights. And over 20,000 missing people. In this episode, Stormy Willow steps into the shadows of the Alaska Triangle, where disappearances outnumber explanations, and the wilderness whispers with legends older than the map itself. From Cold War flight vanishings and ghost towns swallowed by fear, to shapeshifters, spirit dogs, and a Japan Airlines UFO encounter that even the FAA couldn’t fully explain—we’re covering it all. Is it just the elements? Or is something else hunting in the permafrost?
