Sure. There was a story of a solo camper. He set up his tent in a secluded area. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a scratching sound on the outside of his tent. He thought it might be a small animal at first, but then the scratching got louder and more intense. He peeked out and saw a pair of glowing eyes. He quickly grabbed his things and fled without looking back.
A family was on a hike in Glacier National Park. They took a wrong turn and ended up in an area that seemed to be filled with an unnatural silence. All of a sudden, they heard a loud screeching noise. They looked up and saw a large, dark shape flying overhead. It was much larger than any bird they had ever seen. The children started crying and the parents rushed them back the way they came, constantly looking over their shoulders in fear.
One horror story is about hikers who got lost in the vastness of Glacier National Park. As night fell, they heard strange howls that seemed to come from all directions. They huddled together, fearing it was some wild and dangerous animal. Eventually, they were found the next day, shaken but safe.
I haven't read this specific murder mystery novel set in Glacier National Park. But generally, such a setting can add a lot of mystery and beauty to the story. The vastness and isolation of the park can create a perfect backdrop for a murder mystery, with its hidden trails and secluded areas.
There are tales of a ghostly Native American figure near some of the ancient tribal sites within the park. It's said that this apparition is a guardian of the land from long ago. Some visitors have reported feeling a strange presence as if they were being watched when near these areas. It could be related to the deep spiritual connection the Native Americans had with the land that now makes up the park.
One horror story is about a hiker in a national park who got lost at night. He heard strange growling sounds all around him. As he tried to find his way, he saw shadowy figures moving between the trees. He was terrified and thought he was being stalked by some unknown creature. Eventually, he found a small cave and hid in it until morning when he was able to find his way back to the trail.
A solo hiker once told a story of how, as he was walking along a less - traveled trail in Sequoia National Park, he noticed that the forest seemed to go completely silent all of a sudden. Not a single bird chirp or rustle of leaves from small animals. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadowy figure moving quickly between the trees. He tried to follow it but it disappeared, leaving him feeling very spooked.
Expect a sense of isolation and danger. Since it's a national park, the characters may be cut off from easy help. In the novel, the mystery could involve something specific to the park, like a rare plant or a hidden cave. The author may also use the changing weather in the park to add to the tension, for example, a sudden snowstorm that traps the characters and the killer together.
There's a story of a phantom horse and rider. Supposedly, they can be seen galloping across the meadows at dusk. It's thought that it might be a remnant of an old cowboy or ranger who used to patrol the area.
There was a story about a lone fisherman near one of Yellowstone's lakes. He was casting his line when he felt like he was being watched. He turned around and saw what he thought was a human - like figure standing on the shore some distance away. But as he blinked, it disappeared. Then he heard a splash in the water that didn't seem normal, like something big was moving just beneath the surface. He quickly gathered his things and left.
Yes. There was a story where a group of Air National Guard members were sent on a mission with inaccurate maps. They got completely lost in an unfamiliar area and it took a long time for them to figure out their location and get back on track. This wasted a lot of time and resources.
Sure, let's take the Liberty Bell in the United States. It was originally cast in London in 1752. It was ordered by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly to be placed in the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall). The bell has the inscription 'Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof' from the Bible. It has been a symbol of American independence. It rang to mark important events such as the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. However, it cracked later but still remains an important national treasure.
