97: Histories and Hauntings of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Description
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. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
