Something Walked Beside Us in the Dark — Garden of the Gods Encounter


Recommended Posts

Posted
In this episode, we journey into the rugged sandstone cliffs and shadowed trails of Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois, where Amanda recounts a night that changed her understanding of the wilderness forever. Visiting the remote reaches of the Shawnee National Forest, what began as a peaceful evening under the stars slowly unfolded into an unsettling experience marked by strange lights in the sky, an eerie silence in the woods, and the unmistakable sound of something walking just out of sight beside her.


Amanda shares what it felt like to move through the darkness with an unseen presence pacing her step for step, how the atmosphere of the forest shifted around her, and why the location itself now carries a deeper weight for her. Rooted in firsthand testimony and grounded in the geography of one of Illinois’ most iconic natural landmarks, her account offers a vivid glimpse into the mystery that still lingers in this secluded corner of the Midwest.


Join us as we explore Amanda’s chilling experience in Garden of the Gods and the quiet, unsettling questions that remain about what truly moves through those woods after nightfall.
