Halloween season is here, Canyoneers! Stephen and Mark dive into the spooky spirit of October with tales from Mark’s experiences on ghost tours, including his time leading them himself. We also look ahead to our upcoming storytelling show at The Pub in Durango and the special screening of The Shining at The Sunflower Theatre in Cortez. From haunted history to supernatural encounters and one of horror’s most iconic films, we’re exploring the stories that make this time of year deliciously eerie. Tune in and keep an eye on the shadows. Out here in the canyons, not all footsteps are yours.
Mark Little has lived here in Southwest Colorado since 2002. His love of mysterious beings and Unknown Phenomena began way back around age 5 in the hills and hollers of the Eastern Ozarks (Mizz er ah'). Watching lights zigging and zagging in the night sky set Mark on a path of curiosity, fear, excitement, and awe. He loves myths and legends related to the Natural World. When not at work, Mark can be found hiking, looking under rocks, taking pictures, reading, telling stories, looking up at the night sky, and hanging out with his family of cats.
Before co-hosting The Dark Canyon Chronicles, Stephen hosted a paranormal radio show in the Seattle area called The Other Side Chronicles. His fascination with the unexplained began while roaming the haunted hollers of the Ozark Mountains in southern Missourah or Missouri, as the northerners call it. There, old folk tales weren’t just stories told to scare children but as he grew older, Stephen began to discover that many of those yarns were rooted in real events, and in time, he found himself experiencing some of them firsthand.
