Shownotes Transcript

Feral people, in my national parks?? It's more likely than you think.

Well, not really. But Rachel can't ever resist putting memes in her show descriptions. In today's episode, Rachel discusses the TikTok about the feral, cannibalistic people in America's national parks. Tune in to hear what we really know about feral children such as Genie Wiley and Peter the Wild Boy, as well as exploring the truth behind the TikTok about feral cannibals.

Happy National Park Week!

TW: Abuse, neglect, death, suicide, murder, cannibalism
