About this episode

On this week’s episode of Nature Obscura, we’re heading south to Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp, a labyrinth of carnivorous plants, ancient cypress trees, and thousands of alligators. But nature is only half the story. We’re investigating the chilling reports of the long-bodied Beast of Okefenokee, mysterious ghost lights along abandoned roads, and local legends of pig-faced ape-men hiding deep within the marsh.
