You've told it maybe twice. Once to someone who changed the subject, and once to someone who laughed. So you stopped telling it. Tell it here instead.
Tell us what happened →You don't need proof. You don't need a photo. You don't need to know what it was. You need to have been there.
Wilderness Untold is one story per episode, told straight. No dramatization, no sound effects pretending to be footsteps, no host talking over you to guess what it was. What you experienced is the episode.
Most of what we run comes from people who never reported it to anyone. The forest service, the sheriff, the newspaper — none of them were going to write it down, and you knew that at the time. So it stayed with you.
Bipedal. Wrong proportions. Too tall, too fast, or too quiet for what it should have been.
Craft, light, or object that moved in a way nothing you know of moves.
A person on the trail, in the cabin, at the window. Then gone, or never possible to begin with.
Hours you can't account for. A drive that took twice as long as it should have.
Ground that felt wrong. A canyon that went silent. A road you turned around on and can't explain why.
No category fits. That's often the best kind. Tell us anyway.
Four steps. No submission disappears into a void, and nothing airs without your say-so.
Not a filter, not a queue that never empties. Every account gets read within a week and you get an email confirming it landed, with a file number.
Dates, weather, moon phase, road closures, whether anyone else reported something nearby that week. Not to catch you out — corroborating detail is what makes an episode land.
If your account is a fit, we set up a conversation. Recorded or not, your choice. Most of the best detail comes out in that call, not in the form.
You hear the episode first. If the name is wrong, the location is too specific, or you've changed your mind entirely, it doesn't run. That holds forever, including after it's published.
Take your time. There's no length limit and no wrong way to write it. If you only remember fragments, send the fragments.
Check your email for confirmation. Someone will read this within the week, and you'll hear from a real person either way.
A few lines from accounts already on record. Published with permission.
It stepped over the deadfall. Didn't climb it, didn't go around. Stepped over it like a curb.
Every elk in that meadow was facing the same direction, and none of them were facing us.
My dog wouldn't leave the truck. She has never once not wanted out of the truck.
One email when an episode drops. The invite to the listener room comes with it.
