About this listen

Slip beyond the campfire’s edge and into the oldest shadows of North American folklore, where the Hidebehind lurks just out of sight. No one’s ever seen its face, but its legend haunts every whisper of wind between the pines. What stalks those who wander alone in the woods? Why does a swig of whiskey keep it at bay? From vanished lumberjacks to wild tales of midnight encounters, this episode unpacks the chilling myth engineered to explain the things we fear—and can’t quite catch. Keep your nerves—and your flask—close. In these woods, something is always watching from behind.
