Feral Humans

Mysterious Feral Humans

We dove deep into one of the more unsettling corners of the paranormal world this episode — feral humans — the idea that there are people living so far removed from society in places like the Appalachian Mountains and national forests that they’ve essentially become something else entirely.

We walked through the history, the science, and the psychology behind how and why this happens, from documented cases of wild children to evolutionary changes in isolated communities, and then got into some genuinely chilling firsthand accounts that had us questioning what’s really out there in those stretches of forest no one’s ever mapped.

One story in particular — passed down from a grandfather who followed a blood trail in 1954 Tennessee — had us both fully convinced that feral people aren’t just folklore, and honestly might explain more than a few of those national forest disappearances we’ve covered before.
