About this episode
In 1989, a chilling mystery unfolded high in the rugged wilderness of Japan’s Daisetsuzan National Park. Near the slopes of Mount Asahidake, rescuers responding to a hand-carved SOS sign stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — a human skeleton lying beside it. At first glance, it seemed like a tragic but straightforward case: but it was anything but. What began as a routine recovery in the Japanese mountains turned into one of the country’s most perplexing unsolved outdoor mysteries — a haunting reminder that sometimes, even cries for help can hide secrets of their own.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisetsuzan_National_Parkhttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/japan/hokkaido/daisetsuzan-national-park-grand-traverse--3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS_incidenthttps://www.historicmysteries.com/history/kenji-iwamura/36136/https://vocal.media/criminal/the-sos-sign-that-no-one-made-japan-s-strangest-hiking-mysteryhttps://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Asahidake_John_DoeSupport the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!
