The hosts discuss the persistent legend of feral humans in the Smoky Mountains, wild individuals who may have reverted to an animalistic state. They connect this folklore to unsolved disappearances, particularly the 1969 case of Dennis Martin, and explore theories that missing children could become feral or be raised by cryptids like Bigfoot. The plausibility of feral humans is compared to feral hogs and historical cases like Victor of Aveyron. The conversation also touches on abandoned towns within the national park that could harbor such individuals, local cryptids like the Tennessee Wildman, and concludes with survival tips for navigating the wilderness.
