Yacolt and the Whistlers

Nestled deep in the forests of southwest Washington, Yacolt is a tiny town with a haunting reputation that stretches back centuries. In this episode, we explore why Native tribes called it the "haunted place," uncover eerie legends of the mysterious Whistlers and towering Bigfoot-like creatures said to roam the surrounding wilderness, and revisit the terrifying Yacolt Burn of 1902, a wildfire so massive its smoke darkened skies, dropped ash over Portland, and could be seen from Seattle. Join us as we separate history from legend and discover why Yacolt remains one of Washington's most mysterious and unsettling places.
