National Parks here and abroad have an unusual number of strange, scary, and weird activities going on.

It may be because these areas cover some of the most hidden and still natural and undisturbed locations in the world.

These parks offer undisturbed areas where man does not intrude normally, and many activities can be hidden there.

The stories in this book are mostly by Park Rangers who spent years in the outback of these parks and tell of their unusual and sometimes very scary experiences.

I've divided up these stories mainly by types like missing persons, Bigfoot sightings, Aliens and UFOs, and more.

Some experiences are so weird or unusual they were hard to categorize so they are in the chapter titled "Random Stories".

From my own experiences camping the wilderness I know that you need to be prepared for the unexpected.

All of these stories were reported as true-but who is to say what the real truth is?
