California (Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Mount Shasta)

National Park Mysteries & Disappearances, Book 2

De: Steve Stockton, Bill Melder

Narrado por: Chris Abernathy

Some of the most visited national parks in the country have a dark side.

Aside from crowds of hikers, campers, and general tourists, there's a dark side to these three locations in California: the famous Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and Mount Shasta. From strange disappearances, grisly murders, and bone-chilling paranormal hauntings to ghost sightings, these pristine locales have a lot more to offer than just serene hiking trails or camping. In this second installment of National Park Mysteries & Disappearances, Steve Stockton, along with Bill Melder, presents the listener with a side to these locations you've never heard before.

So, put aside your nature guidebooks, forget about the pretty leaves, and the relaxing streams as well as the miniature golf, the funnel cakes and all the other "tourist traps" and prepare for a wild ride on the dark side of these major national parks.

My Niche Fixation

I live for weird stories from the woods. And here’s a whole book about it. My only complaint is that some of the information is repetitive - but maybe it wouldn’t be if it
were in physical book form and you could flip between chapters at will. Other than that I loved it - will be listening again.

Interesting, but a lot of supernatural

I liked most if this book, especially information about the various locations, but the section on Mount Shasta was just a little too out there for me.

Short but good

Not the longest book, could have had a few more stories but i still really enjoyed it. The narrartor did a great job again. On to the next book in the series love them so far.

Always interesting.

I've listened to everything Steve's written, researched, ect. and it's always the first thing I go to for sleep. Not that it's boring, but quite the opposite.

love love

I love these authors and I also enjoy the narrator. The books are my favorite

Much too short!

My kind of stories so, I really enjoyed the book I wish it was longer and the narration takes some getting used to but that said I will be getting the next one when it comes out.

Strange & Unusual California

This was the second book in the new National Park Mysteries & Disappearances. Each book focuses on a different area. It is a great collection of unsolved mysteries, strange and unusual occurrences and more. Despite the popularity of the National Parks, many unusual things happen and there are many strange disappearances. The Missing 411 series was one of the first to note the pattern of disappearances. This series gives you a wonderful overview of the areas and notable legends and background. This is very creepy entry, with many unusual things occurring in these areas. A fantastic book and and I can't wait for the next installment. Only beef for me is that the books are too short. This book now has an audio version that is enjoyable to listen to.

Much more enjoyable then volume 1

I liked this book much more then the first in the series. It flowed better, and didn’t feel like an advertisement for haunted spots. I also felt that the voice actor was a lot more chill and the tone wasn’t forced.

Boring

None of this was mysterious! People who hike alone on mountains have a tendency to get injured and are found dead later.
