Welcome back to GRIMPINE — where the forest is silent, the radios glitch, and the rangers who protect these lands face things no handbook ever prepared them for. Tonight’s episode brings you 3 TRUE park ranger horror stories from Washington, Montana, and Colorado — each one told by rangers with decades of backcountry experience. These are not rookies. These are experts who know wildlife behavior, terrain, and danger better than anyone… and still encountered something so intelligent, so powerful, and so wrong that their careers — and their lives — were forever changed. 🌲 Story 1 — The Trail Cameras (Washington) A backcountry ranger with 18 years on the job discovers something methodically destroying his hidden cameras — removing SD cards, disabling circuits, and herding him through the forest like prey. 🏔️ Story 2 — The Missing Hiker (Montana) A Search & Rescue coordinator tracks an experienced backpacker… only to find he was being hunted through Glacier National Park by something bipedal, stealthy, and far more intelligent than any known animal. 🔥 Story 3 — The Fire Lookout (Colorado) A ranger spending a week alone in a remote tower learns why the previous ranger quit. Something climbs the tower every night… watching, studying, communicating, and proving that the forest belongs to them. If you love true wilderness horror, ranger encounters, missing hiker mysteries, cryptid activity, national park disappearances, and real stories the authorities won’t put in official reports, this episode is for you. 🌑 Subscribe to GRIMPINE for weekly stories pulled from the darkest edges of the wild. 👇 Which story scared you the most — 1, 2, or 3?
