True Crime & Paranormal
About
Where desert winds carry secrets and mountains whisper old stories, where history refuses to stay buried. We’re a podcast for everyone — the curious, the skeptical, the believers, the history lovers, the late-night thinkers, and the people who just love a good story. Based in the legendary Four Corners region — where New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah meet — we dive deep into the mysteries that haunt this rugged and beautiful land. Each episode explores stories rooted in the Four Corners, including stories of murder, crime, aliens, cryptids, ghosts, and history. Contact Us: thearkinshearthpodcast@gmail.com
