This week we're taking you on a haunted historic tour of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and its gateway town, Medora. We visit several buildings that will make you feel like you are still in the 1800s. Learn about Theodore Roosevelt, historic families, sword duels, almost mass extinctions of species, and all the [paranormal] activities that take place inside the badlands of North Dakota.
