Two Terrifying Outdoors Stories

This year, we have ran numerous stories about dangerous and strange situations in the great outdoors.

Two of the Dark Outdoors® podcasts sponsored by Texas Fish & Game delve into particularly wild encounters and received a great response by listeners.

Did a Cougar Kill Christopher Whiteley, Or Was It Something or Someone Else?

In this episode, Chester Moore examines the perplexing death of Christopher Whiteley in Hood County, Texas. Initially attributed to a cougar attack, further investigations by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the USDA led to the cause of death being changed to “undetermined.” Moore engages with writer Morgan O’Hanlan, who covered the story for Texas Monthly, to discuss the conflicting findings and ponder the true cause of Whiteley’s death.

Strange Tales of a Hidden TX Tribe? Strange Survivalists or Feral Humans?

This episode ventures into the mysterious accounts of alleged primitive tribes in the Trinity Bay area near Galveston-Houston during the 1960s and 1980s. Moore explores a forgotten book detailing harrowing encounters and examines similar reports from the Big Thicket National Preserve. The discussion raises intriguing questions: Were there “wild men” in the Old and Lost River area? Are there individuals living off-grid in ancient ways? The episode delves into these mysteries, offering a captivating exploration of possible hidden communities. If you have heard reports such as these email chester@chestermoore.com.
