When you visit a national park, you’re advised to take nothing but pictures, and leave nothing but footprints. But what happens to those who never get to leave?

With 1.3 million acres, the Grand Canyon is riddled with dark lore and puzzling pieces of history. Reports of deadly plane crashes, forbidden zones marked on maps, and ancient artifacts from the other side of the planet combine to create a hotbed of paranormal activity.

We also reflect on bizarre happenings at Mammoth Cave, one of the largest (and most haunted) cave systems in the world. From an attempted Bigfoot massacre to heinous tuberculosis huts hidden deep underground, there are many reasons why this cave’s list of amenities includes an on-site cemetery.
