Summary

When 71-year-old British tourist Lorna McSorley stepped out for a walk near South Africa's Ghost Mountain, she expected a pleasant hike to spot local wildlife. She never returned. In the first episode of this three-part investigative series, we travel to the remote, superstitious heart of Eastern South Africa to retrace Lorna’s final steps. As official searches hit a dead end, bizarre rumours about what happened to her begin to emerge. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
