The story of the Donner Party is one of perseverance; survival; and hope. It really is the 19th century equivalent to the original Thanksgiving story. It even includes a feast…..and while there’s no actual Thanksgiving tradition, the themes are all there.
So in honor of this historic event, we’re taking another look at the Donner Party and specifically the land where their ordeal took place. Because it should surprise no one that paranormal activities are reported to happen at and around the Donner Lake area.
We’ve got a couple short stories as well as two longer ones. The first dealing with something strange happening at a truck stop while the second story involves a camper and his dog finding something very unnerving while camping near Donner lake.
Then after these spine chilling tales of horror, we’ll be playing a bonus episode-in-a-episode and that’s our remastered episode on the Donner Party. I suggest that everyone checking out the episode sticks around for the Donner Party episode. Out of 118 episodes of Almost Canon, the Donner Party episodes is still one of my all time favorites.
To help Almost Canon grow, please leave a rating and a review. We are an independent podcast trying to grow a community from the ground up and we need all the support we can get to make this thing work!
With your monetary support we can purchase new equipment as well as take Almost Canon on the road. There are several haunted hotels we'd like to investigate and podcast from like the Omni Mount Washington Resort, home of the infamous Bretton Woods Confrence and the Manchester Resort and Spa, where Mrs. Lincoln is still said to reside. Plus so many others! To donate to our GoFundMe, click the link below. All funds go back into the show:
