In 1974 a Ranger Vanished in the Smokies — In 2019 a Wildfire Drone Filmed What Was Left of His Camp

🚨 8 hours of Appalachian folk horror. Ten stories. 👉 https://forbidden-unresolved-stories.... About this video: In 1974 a backcountry ranger walked up a nameless drainage in the North Carolina Smokies and never walked out. The search found almost nothing — except his camera, sitting dry on a rock after two floods. They closed the case with the word "drowned." Forty-five years later a wildfire mapping drone flew over that same drainage and picked up a camp that shouldn't have still been there: a swept clearing, a stack of split firewood, a fire ring with no leaves in it. Then the area was closed, and it has stayed closed ever since. Disclaimer: These episodes are created for storytelling and entertainment purposes.
