Show Notes
Deep in the wilds of Karelia, Russia there is an unassuming Mountain with a mysterious secret. It is called – Mount Vottovaara, aka ‘Russia’s Stonehenge’ where mysterious stone stacks frame the solstice sun. Cameras fail, compasses spin, the air feels heavy and time seems to warp.
Sámi lore calls it a sacred portal to “other worlds.” Modern hikers report lost hours, eerie orbs, and phantom figures on horseback.
Plus we have listener stories that include time loss during a close call with fae in the forest, a spontaneously combusting violin, and a paranormal cold war era political drama over ‘The Pumpkin Papers’.
