In 1903, a charismatic preacher named Edmund Creffield arrived in Corvallis and quickly drew followers into a secretive, emotionally intense movement that would soon be labeled the “Holy Rollers.” As devotion deepened, families were torn apart and shocking allegations of control, manipulation, and “spiritual purification” ignited fear across the community. The conflict reached a violent climax in 1906 when George Mitchell shot Creffield in Seattle, only to be killed days later by his own sister, Ruth Mitchell, in an act of revenge. What began as a search for faith ended in murder, madness, and tragedy, raising haunting questions about how far belief can go before it turns dangerous.

The Holy Rollers

In 1996, a father and son made a chilling discovery in the woods of rural Polk County, human bones bound, hidden, and forgotten beneath a tarp. For over two decades, the woman known only as the “Mill Creek Bones” remained a haunting mystery, her identity lost to time. Then, in 2019, a breakthrough led by Yolanda McClary and cutting edge genetic genealogy finally gave her a name: Kathy Thomas. But as her story unfolded, a darker truth emerged, one that pointed back to the man closest to her. In a case spanning 25 years, investigators would uncover a past filled with violence, secrets, and a long-overdue confession that finally brought justice to the silence.

Bones and Brown Hair

In 1924, near Ape Canyon on the slopes of Mount St. Helens, a group of gold prospectors claimed they were attacked through the night by towering, ape-like figures that hurled rocks and battered their remote cabin, an incident that became one of the Pacific Northwest’s most enduring wilderness legends. Decades later in 1950, experienced skier Jim Carter vanished on the same mountain after leaving his climbing party to take a photograph; rescuers found only a film box and a set of frantic ski tracks plunging toward the canyon before disappearing without a trace. Could these incidents be connected?

Side quest - In 2018, another mystery unfolded when more than 100 massive trees were suddenly snapped and toppled near Lake Quinault in Olympic National Park, with no immediate clear cause. Was it a weather event, aliens, trolls? You tell us!

Mysterious Death of Geoffrey Ramseth

In 2006, Washington State policy advisor Gilbert Mark Gilman drove to Olympic National Park for what should have been a short walk along the Staircase Rapids Loop Trail. After briefly speaking with a park ranger, he entered the forest and was never seen again. Despite extensive searches, investigators found no trace of Gilman, leaving behind more questions than answers. In this episode of Beneath the Evergreens, we explore the timeline, evidence, and circumstances surrounding one of Washington’s most puzzling disappearances. We also examine the leading theories, including an accidental fall into the river, a medical emergency, possible foul play, and other mysteries tied to the remote wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.

Billy Gohl - The Ghoul of Grays Harbor

In this episode of Beneath the Evergreens, Ana and Jess dive into one of Washington’s strangest legends and uncover the secrets of a hidden PNW haunt.

First, we plunge into the dark, churning waters beneath the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, where whispers of a massive octopus have echoed for decades. Was it a misunderstood sea creature? A sailor’s tale gone wild? Or something far more mysterious rising from the depths to drag ships into the cold black water?

Then we travel north to Port Townsend and step inside the eerie halls of Manresa Castle. From stories of phantom children and coffin rumors to documented ghost hunts and lingering footsteps in the night, we explore the hauntings that have made this historic mansion one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept secrets. Legends. Lore. And just enough mystery to make you wonder what’s really lurking Beneath the Evergreens.

Giant Tentacles in a Haunted Castle

In 1996, ancient human remains discovered along the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington sparked one of the most controversial archaeological cases in U.S. history. Scientists argued the 9,000-year-old skeleton could rewrite theories about the first Americans, while Native American tribes insisted the Ancient One was their ancestor and should be returned for burial. What followed was decades of legal battles, scientific study, and debate over whether science or tribal oral tradition should decide the fate of the remains. In 2017, DNA evidence confirmed the Ancient One’s connection to modern Native American tribes, and he was finally returned and respectfully reburied according to tribal tradition.

The Kennewick Man: The Ancient One

It is the winter of 1910, and travelers are attempting to cross what we now know as Stevens Pass. At the time, the only way to move somewhat safely through the mountains, especially in winter, was by train. One such group is forced to stop when a brutal storm sets in… and then the unthinkable happens. The deadliest avalanche in the region comes crashing down on the stranded travelers, plunging the night into chaos, and just days later, a second avalanche strikes a few miles north in Canada, as if the mountains themselves aren’t finished yet.

If this story gave you chills, don’t keep it to yourself.

Subscribing helps us keep these forgotten stories alive, and trust us, there are so many more waiting in the shadows.
