These are 3 disturbing TRUE Search & Rescue horror stories from Alaska, based on real SAR operations, unexplained deaths, and encounters that still haunt rescue teams today.
From the abandoned town of Portlock, where recoveries stopped making sense…
To a hypothermia cluster at Hatcher Pass where multiple victims died in impossible synchronization…
To ancient Kushtaka folklore resurfacing through modern SAR tracks in the Alaskan wilderness…
These stories are not urban legends. They are real search and rescue cases tied to documented locations, Indigenous history, and wilderness conditions so extreme they defy conventional explanation.
Told with immersive, atmospheric narration, this episode explores the terrifying reality of working SAR in Alaska, where isolation, cold, and something older than the forests themselves still claim lives.
⚠️ Listener discretion advised — this episode contains descriptions of death, exposure, and disturbing survival scenarios.
