Ep. 23 When The Mountain Takes the Clock

What happens when the wilderness takes hours instead of a life? This episode traces documented “lost time” accounts — the Missing 411 archive, over a century of consistent reports from Ben MacDhui in Scotland, and a 2008 Hocking Hills account where daylight collapsed into near-darkness in minutes. We weigh the science (hypothermia, altitude, infrasound) against folklore that’s been telling this same story for centuries.
